Chapter 88: The Acceleration Cards Are Still So Generous

The freezer was soon filled with shelves, and the iron pots looked completely dull under the dim light.

The number of people at the harbor was unexpected; there were only a few dozen servings of fish soup left after Shen Dixin brought them.

Fish soup is a cheap food, and people with pale faces are generally unwilling to pay a high price for it. Five servings cost about two white coins, and Lu Mingang prepared a generous portion, filling an entire lunchbox.

It's just that white coins are hard to earn. If only she could find a bunch of dusty jewels like last time!

Speaking of this... Shen Dixin took out the compass that the one-eyed captain had given her. The captain was still so generous to her!

During the day, when the boat is surrounded by fish, it's difficult to move. If you try to start the boat, you'll be blocked by the fish. If you don't drop anchor, you don't know where the fish will push you.

Other players might not care, as any direction is part of the journey and the longer you travel, the higher the chance of encountering extra supply crates. But Chen Dixin has a designated destination and can't just let them come to her.

Although there were fish all around, the destructive power of marine life was not enough to completely destroy the supply boxes produced by the system compared to a red tide; they could be pulled up in time.

A few days ago, they couldn't affect players' acquisition of supply boxes, which was good news for Shen Dixin. Only when players had a steady stream of supplies could her ice blocks and various goods be sold quickly!

The lending business stagnated, and the dishes were basically unsold, but Chen Dixin didn't care at all.

"Xiaoming, there aren't many fish left. Buy the ones that sell for a low price. We can freeze quite a few fish in the gaps between the shelves."

Before filling every crevice of this enormous icehouse, Chen Dixin would not feel at ease.

It was getting late. These days, players were going to the island at night. Those with invitations or tokens were using all their skills, while those without could only watch the silent sea, as islands wouldn't spawn naturally at night.

"Dixin, are we going to see Sister Yuebai again today?"

When Lu Mingang saw her return, he asked.

It didn't take Shen Dixin long to get to the island. There were still three hours before their usual bedtime, so they could squeeze in a trip.

After getting along better with Yuebai, Shen Dixing asked her if she could give some pointers to other people. Unexpectedly, she readily agreed, leaving Shen Dixing with no opportunity to put her prepared remarks into practice.

“I used to bring a whole batch of them together.”

As she said this, a hint of nostalgia and melancholy appeared in her eyes.

Yuebai accepted Lu Mingang as a student, but his teaching was certainly not as dedicated as his guidance of Chen Dixin. As he said, he would just give him some pointers along the way.

Compared to this newly appointed mentor, Lu Mingang held him in high esteem. Although he was always beaten badly, he cherished the opportunity immensely and was even more proactive than Chen Dixin.

He knew that his skills were more of a burden to Shen Dixin, and that he needed to improve himself as soon as possible.

"Let's not go yet, we don't have enough tokens, we need to go fight the sea monster."

Shen Dixin helplessly shrugged. The ship had already begun its voyage, heading straight for the coordinates of the sea monster.

The last time I went to fight sea monsters was a week ago. Actually, Shen Dixin has fought quite a few sea monsters in a month. Not only did he complete the monthly free target, but he also earned an extra ten or so tokens for himself.

She kept coming to the island every few days, and even changed the port's token.

Speaking of this… Shen Dixin suddenly realized that the one-eyed captain hadn’t paid attention to her using the other white-faced people’s tokens to locate the island. It seems that going to the docking port will be much more convenient in the future!

She might even get to see Zhanlan; the image of the Shanlan fish struggling on the ground immediately flashed into her mind.

In the distance, Zhanlan was happily squinting her eyes as she ate the honey-glazed grilled fish and vegetable salad that Yuebai had brought her.

"Sister Dixin really thinks of me! Even Sister Yuebai doesn't have such exquisite food!"

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine, and I sneezed.

Azure looked around nervously, and only relaxed its guard after confirming there were no enemies. It muttered, "What's going on? Has it gotten colder? The weather is changing so much. Oh dear, this sudden change in temperature is terrible for my fish fry!"

She pushed open the door and walked towards the specially separated small pond. Last time Shen Dixing came to fish, she caught almost all the big fish in Yin Yang Pond. Now there is no fish left, which has scared Zhan Lan so much that she has not mentioned letting Shen Dixing come to play again for so long.

"Let's wait a little longer," Chen Dixin thought to himself. "It hasn't even been a month since I last went. I don't want to take away too many of the Azure Fish."

【Item Name: One-Hour Speed-Up Card】

Item Quality: Green

[Item Description: It will double your ship's speed.]

To avoid fighting the sea monster too late, Shen Dixin took out an acceleration card. After using it, the ship's speed increased significantly, and she almost swayed.

I've accumulated a stack of similar class buffs over the past few days, and apart from the Astronomer's Navigator Card, the Sailor's various speed-up cards are the most practical.

The new players were well-behaved, and the order maintained by Chen Dixin was not shaken. These speed-up cards were not expensive to buy.

Other players don't have such an urgent need; saving a little time only adds a bit of experience for the sailor.

For ordinary players, picking up a few more supply crates is already a good thing; others aren't like Shen Dixin, who has so many island entry tickets to support her running around everywhere.

If you suddenly need to go to the island, you'll just get a few as spares; you won't be using these all the time.

Shen Dixin is different; her current supplies are enough for her to use the acceleration card non-stop.

It was fine before there weren't so many things to do, but now after defeating a few sea monsters, she still has to explore the remaining three compasses, not to mention going to Moon White for special training every few days. She has to travel as fast as possible during that time!

Shen Dixin felt a slight dizziness, which she managed to suppress with great difficulty. She made up her mind that she would install the stabilizer next time she went to the port; she couldn't put it off any longer.

Excessive boat speed can negatively impact the player experience, and seasickness can be a major hindrance to work.

She was already feeling slightly unwell at just twice the ship's speed. A blue-quality acceleration card could accelerate her three times, and without a stabilizer, she would get seasick as soon as she started moving!

Unfortunately, the stabilizer seems insignificant, serving no other purpose than reducing the impact of high-speed navigation on the player, yet it is an expensive accessory that costs a full 500 white coins!

Shen Dixin wanted to buy it, but after buying it, her white coins wouldn't be enough to buy the new sprites.

Although the bald engineer's favorability rating was a bit low, he had his own principles when selling products and wouldn't exaggerate or make things up. This little elf was the most cost-effective product she had ever seen in her two lifetimes!

In her past life, Shen Dixin didn't have the means to buy a fairy, nor did she need a fairy's help. However, the engineer's shop was on the only way to and from the captain's house, and she could hear different hawking cries every time she passed by.

He would occasionally stroll into the shop. The bald engineer didn't arbitrarily kick people out, and over time, it became clear that he relied on materials collected by others to make his own products.

Due to the limited availability of raw materials, he could only make whatever kind of sprites he could. Apart from the most basic ones that only did one type of work, getting other styles depended on luck.

I might as well use this green-quality acceleration card for now. Anyway, I can't afford the blue-quality Heart Cleansing Card for the time being. She normally accelerates for more than ten hours a day!

With the help of the speed-up card, Chen Dixin arrived at her destination in Dalian in just two hours.

As soon as the boat stopped, Zhu Sha climbed out of its small water tank and eagerly followed behind Shen Dixin. It was now fully capable of participating in the battle against the sea monster.

Shen Dixin did not stop him, "Be careful, if you get hurt, go back to the ship."
