Chapter 28 Finally, we have a ship!

After settling everything down, Chen Dixin glanced at the time and realized it was getting late, so he immediately started exercising.

Lu Mingang seemed to have cheered up. During his break, he squatted in a corner, looking mysterious and doing something unknown.

One, two... twenty-nine, the last one!

She mentally counted her progress, and felt a great sense of relief after finishing. Compared to disciplined training, she preferred unrestrained fighting!

After moving the wooden box out, Chen Dixin sat on it to rest until she was almost at her maximum strength before continuing her workout, repeating this process set by set.

The system notification interrupted her reverie. She had already filtered out most of the unimportant messages. Could it be...?

[Congratulations to the player for gaining an improvement from training; Strength increased from 10 to 11.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the unique title "Health is the Foundation of Everything," unlocked by the first player to improve their attributes through training. Wearing this title grants a +2 to Constitution.]

Oh? Her strength has increased so quickly? Shen Dixin was a little surprised. Perhaps the room for improvement in her 3 points of strength was just too great.

After all, exercise is effective in the early stages; it often takes the same amount of time to go from 0 to 80 as it does to go from 80 to 95.

She also got a title. Has she got almost ten titles by now? Shen Dixin opened the panel to confirm.

[Nickname: Lao Shen, AAA Materials Wholesaler]

[Titles: Pioneer, Ah, Raft!, Grand Slam, Same as New, Bear's Hatred, Designer, Game Terminator, Demon, Body is the Foundation of Revolution]

[Talent: Critical Strike]

【Occupation: Monster Hunter (Main)】

[Level: 4 (887/8000)]

...

Nine titles already! Shen Dixin was quite emotional. In her previous life, she was always a step behind others in everything she did. She had spent eleven months at sea, almost a year, and only had three titles.

Sweating profusely, she leaned against the sail to rest when Lu Mingang suddenly leaned over and asked, "Dixin, do you think I could list my novel on the shop?"

Shen Dixing was completely confused, but after his explanation, he understood. It turned out that he was inspired by Shen Dixing's information about selling gemstones. He thought that if the product description could be set to be available after purchase, then why couldn't he write novels in it for people to read?

"Otherwise, they'll keep urging me to update."

Lu Mingang was very distressed. He used to write novels when he was bored, but now that he was with Shen Dixin, he felt that every minute and every second had a purpose. He felt extremely guilty for slacking off while writing novels.

He stopped updating yesterday, and those guys were so bored that they spent the whole day going through his chat history to urge him to update. And now, they're here again tonight.

Shen Dixin stared blankly at the clips he had sent her, and after a long while, she managed to stammer out, "So it was you who was telling ghost stories late at night."

The voice prompts played through the speaker didn't announce the players' names at all.

Lu Mingang laughed sheepishly, "Hehe, yeah, I was just bored and thought I'd liven things up a bit, but I didn't expect everyone to enjoy it so much."

Shen Dixin waved his hand, indicating that he should go and do it himself.

In the days that followed, Chen Dixin diligently collected materials, and by the time he had gathered all the materials needed for the Tier 3 ship upgrade, it was already the afternoon of the fourth day.

During this time, she obtained two filler blueprints: a wooden bow (green) and a wooden arrow (green). As mentioned before, bows and arrows don't have a large audience, and the purple bow that Chen Dixin had displayed in the shop still hasn't received a suitable price.

But since it was cheap, he simply accepted it. It wouldn't hurt to add up the number of blueprints. Shen Dixin guessed that with so many sea survival blueprints, there must be more than one collection reward.

This time they gave out twenty drawings for the title; maybe next time it will be forty or fifty!

The long-dormant workbench has started to pick up speed again. With a steady stream of orders for stone sets, it dropped two pieces of purple equipment in one day, which happened to be the stone armor and stone helmet that Chen Dixin wanted the most!

Purple-grade equipment has 1 more attribute point than blue-grade equipment! In addition, with the yellow gem ring that Lu Mingang returned, Shen Dixin's constitution increased by 11 (11) after wearing it, reaching an astonishing 22 points!

This attribute alone is probably higher than many people's combined three attributes!

I guess I used up all my luck. Very few other items advanced. I only have a purple fishing net with higher durability and a larger range. I kept the Cleansing Heart for myself.

After a full day of testing, Shen Dixin determined that the maximum number of fishing nets that could be placed on a raft was five. She and Lu Mingang placed a total of eight nets on their raft, and it would be difficult to catch any more than that.

Shen Dixin looked at the panel and breathed a sigh of relief. This wasn't the first time she had upgraded to a level three ship, but her hand was still trembling slightly as she checked the status. This would be a new beginning.

[Please select your ship's upgrade path: 1. Sea Fortress, 2. Steamship]

Shen Dixin chose the warship without hesitation. The sea fortress sounded impressive, but in reality, it was just about making the raft bigger and stronger, eventually forming a large-scale building that resembled a small town on the sea.

Its area is exceptionally large, making it a perfect destination for both logistics and combat operations.

The logistics department has absolutely no ability to defend itself, and the combat is even more laughable. It is loaded with weapons, but how can it attack a guy that can be easily outrun with a single acceleration?

Ships are much more flexible. If you want to do logistics, you can switch to a cruise ship; if you want to focus on combat, you can switch to a warship. In terms of speed, they are far superior to sea fortresses.

As the name suggests, fortresses are difficult to navigate. Although there are faster advancement paths in the fortress route, the fastest sea fortress is only half the speed of the slowest ship.

The Sea Fortress route is too extreme. At least in Shen Dixing's opinion, regardless of the player's role, the first branch should be the ship.

Unless... it's a group of players who chose the sea fortress route banding together, their combined effect would be greater than the sum of its parts.

After a flash of white light, what appeared again could no longer be called a raft, nor could it possibly advance to a luxury cruise ship in one step.

What comes into view is a small fishing boat, even smaller than a Class II raft, but with a hull, it won't be easily soaked by a single wave!

[Congratulations to the player for upgrading their ship to level 3 – a small fishing boat. Ship durability (800/800). Onboard facilities: cabin, level 2 workbench (upgradeable), sail wreckage (repairable), worn anchor (repairable)]

[Congratulations to the player who has obtained the unique title "Finally a Ship!", unlocked when the first player upgrades their ship to level three and selects the "Ship" route. Wearing this title increases the ship's movement speed by 8%.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the unique title "Yes, it was bought wholesale from over there." This title unlocks when you have 10 or more titles. Wearing it will lower the requirements for obtaining some titles.]

I actually got two achievements!
