Chapter 13 Meeting People in Real Life: All the people I met were helpful and kind...
Goodbye, man. Call Xiong if you need anything.
The raft slowly sailed out of the iceberg, and from afar, he could see a polar bear standing at the door of the hut, waving its paw at him.
...It's probably better not to see each other again.
Thinking this, Fang Zhiyi gave a polite smile, waved to the white bear, and then ran away without looking back.
As we moved away from the iceberg, the temperature gradually rose.
Fang Zhiyi took off his military overcoat and steered the raft toward the marker of the sunken ship.
However, judging from the distance between the two places, we won't be able to reach our destination today.
As darkness fell, Fang Zhiyi wasn't in a hurry to continue his journey. He first furled the sails, set a course, and let the raft drift slowly on the sea.
The night at sea is too dangerous. Rather than wasting energy traveling and encountering accidents, it is better to rest well.
Sizzle—
The campfire was lit.
Fang Zhiyi spent 3 pieces of wood to make a small stool on the crafting table and sat by the campfire to look at the contents of the wooden box given to him by the white bear. Apart from gold nuggets, treasure map fragments, and daggers whose uses were obvious, there were also several special items.
Pirate Hat
[The pirate captain's stylish items will make you the most stylish pirate on the ship at first glance]
[Equipping this item increases the raft's speed by 10%]
Jewelry
Sparkling jewelry is a favorite of deep-sea sirens; perhaps you could use it to please them.
[Sea Monster Venom Bottle]
Just one drop can kill an elephant. There is no antidote; beware of accidental ingestion.
Fang Zhiyi's hand trembled slightly, and he quickly stuffed the exquisite and luxurious glass bottle into the deepest part of his backpack.
Apart from the pirate hat, everything else was just stuff that wasn't really useful for the time being.
When I looked up, it was already evening.
As the sun slowly sank, it dyed the sea surface a beautiful orange, and the waves crashed, turning the sunset into fragments of gold.
Fang Zhiyi used a dagger to pry open the sea urchin's spikes. Inside, it was orange-yellow like orange segments. He picked up a segment with the tip of the knife, and it was smooth and tender in his mouth, like eating seafood-flavored ice cream. First, it was fresh, and then the aftertaste was refreshing and sweet.
With a flick of the wrist, the sea urchin shell fell into the water, attracting a group of small fish that peered over curiously.
The little fish wanted to try something new, but was also afraid of Fang's intentions.
Fang Zhiyi also carries the title of "Ruthless Fish Destroyer," which makes small fish tremble with fear.
After thinking about it, I realized that I kept encountering giant squid and hammerhead sharks along the way. Could it be because of this title?
He removed the title.
The small fish hesitated for a moment, but instead of attacking the raft, they gathered around it and pecked at the sea urchin scraps.
Fang Zhiyi opened another sea urchin and threw it over, shell and all.
The small fish were initially scared away, but then they gathered around and ate, their tails wagging as they went.
The afterglow of the setting sun, schools of fish, and ocean waves.
The rain stopped, and a faint rainbow appeared in the sky.
Fang Zhiyi leaned back on the small stool and watched quietly for a while, as if all the fatigue from the day had been eliminated.
If only I had a cell phone, this scene would be perfect for a video.
Unfortunately, I couldn't capture it on camera.
But then I thought, what's the point of taking pictures? If I can't pass the checkpoint, I'll still end up drowning at sea, and even the most beautiful scenery will lose its meaning.
Fang Zhiyi's belief became even stronger.
Stockpile goods, upgrade, and conquer the apocalypse.
Conquer everything!
The sun was completely swallowed by the sea.
The temperature on the sea surface plummeted, shrouded in thick darkness. There was no other sound, only the ceaseless surging of the waves.
Fang Zhiyi yawned and opened the private chat.
[Initiate a trade request to player Chu Zhao]
[Attachment: Spiny Sea Urchin]
[Chu Zhao: Is this material?]
[Chu Zhao: What do you need?]
The other party replied very quickly, making one wonder if he had been waiting for a message in front of the screen the whole time.
Fang Zhiyi twitched his finger.
[fzy: These are the ingredients. I think they taste delicious, you can try some too.]
Chu Zhao's chat window popped up, but he neither replied to the message nor accepted the spiky sea urchin.
[fzy: This is also a way of thanking you for your help all this time.]
[Chu Zhao: In that case, I have no choice but to be blunt.]
The other party accepted the attachment and also delivered a plate of grilled prawns. The prawns, grilled until crispy and dry, landed in my hand, their shells crunchy and carrying the aroma of charcoal.
Fang Zhiyi's eyes widened: ?
[Chu Zhao: You said it, delicious food should be shared]
Fang simply wanted to share.
Spiky sea urchins are food and have no special effects. However, the grilled shrimp that Chu Zhao exchanged for has a positive effect of continuously restoring health.
By any measure, he profited.
Fang Zhiyi was a little embarrassed.
[fzy: Uh... thanks. I'll treat you to a big meal next time we meet.]
[Chu Zhao: Okay]
[Chu Zhao: If there's a chance, I'd love to meet you.]
Fang Zhiyi scratched his head.
The ocean is so vast; you might not even run into other players without a bit of luck. That sounds like a hypocritical, polite remark.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I know where the shipwreck area is. Do you want to come?"
Upgrading a level 4 raft requires a ship core, which Chu Zhao would inevitably need.
[Chu Zhao: Is this all the important news you're telling me?]
The coordinates of the shipwreck area are crucial information; besides the ship's core, there must be a lot of other materials there.
[fzy: I haven't said it yet, have I?]
[Chu Zhao: You trust me a lot]
[fzy: You're a good person]
Fang Zhiyi's first impression of Chu Zhao was that he was a good person, and he helped him a lot later on.
Giving Chu Zhao the coordinates of the shipwreck site also carried the implication of repaying a favor. He didn't like owing people favors.
[fzy: Didn't you also tell other people that you survived?]
If it weren't for Chu Zhao's message in the channel, many players would probably have perished on the first night.
Therefore, Chu Zhao is a good person.
[Chu Zhao: What you see is not necessarily the truth]
Fang Zhiyi really wanted to say, "What are you babbling about? Are you coming or not?"
But as soon as he typed the message into the chat box, he deleted it word by word. Before he could even think of what to say, Chu Zhao's message popped up first.
[Chu Zhao: Don't trust others too much]
[Chu Zhao: The raft can be stolen by other players]
[fzy: Don't worry, I've only met helpful and kind people.]
Think of Chu Zhao, who patiently helped answer your questions.
Then think about Ou Yang and his group who risked their lives to help block the hammerhead shark.
Aren't they all good people?
Chu Zhao seemed to have nothing more to say, and sent a period (.").
Fang Zhiyi didn't suddenly decide to be a do-gooder; rather, he had thought of a crucial point—why are there so many shipwrecks in the shipwreck zone?
It can't be because that place is a feng shui treasure land, and all those ships are enjoying their twilight years there.
Besides, given the game's challenging survival aspect, he wouldn't believe it even if you said there was no danger.
[fzy: Just kidding]
[fzy: The shipwreck area may be dangerous; having more people means more safety.]
【fzy: [Location coordinates]】
[Chu Zhao: It's not far from me, I'll arrive by noon tomorrow]
[fzy: See you tomorrow at noon]
[fzy: I'll treat you to a big meal then]
After sending the message, Fang Zhiyi suddenly felt like she was meeting an online friend in person.
Before I could even have a romantic thought, the leaderboard started distributing rewards right after midnight.
