With a "whoosh," Jiang An leaped out of the sea and jumped directly onto the boat.
Since obtaining the Tricolor Frost Fruit, her physical condition has improved significantly in all aspects.
During her time in the Ping'an Village instance, she had already eaten all the Red Frost Fruit and Golden Frost Fruit she obtained, leaving only the Purple Frost Fruit, which was useful to the little turtle.
After she ate the last frost fruit, Jiang An discovered that her ability to resist cold and heat had significantly improved.
In this increasingly cold season, she only needs a thin windbreaker to keep warm.
At the same time, her body underwent significant changes: she became healthier, faster, and had a stronger jumping ability... These changes made Jiang An feel as if she had become a superman.
However, she had no idea what changes would occur next.
Could it really be possible to fly in the air like a bird? Jiang An often wondered to himself.
Since arriving at this amazing sea survival game, she has realized that it is full of endless possibilities—anything can come true.
At this moment, Jiang An stood on the deck, the sea breeze gently caressing her thin but firm body, but she felt no chill at all.
She couldn't help but marvel at her good fortune in encountering such a precious treasure.
At the same time, she was also filled with gratitude for the little turtle. If it hadn't led her to the Three-Colored Frost Fruit, she probably wouldn't have had such a wonderful encounter.
And how amazing is the little turtle that discovered the tricolor frost fruit? Now she increasingly feels that the little turtle has awakened a treasure-hunting attribute.
If Jiang An had set foot on that island alone, she might not have discovered, in that hidden place, a deep ice cave containing such precious fruit trees.
"If only we could save the seeds!" Jiang An thought greedily to himself.
Unfortunately, treasures like the Tricolor Frost Fruit are rare and hard to come by, and it's unknown when one will encounter them again.
Jiang An secretly rejoiced at her good fortune, and at the same time, she was full of expectations for the future.
Jiang An turned his gaze to the little turtle that was still playing in the sea and hadn't come up yet, and asked softly, "Little turtle, the ship is about to set sail. Do you want to come up, or stay in the sea with the ship?"
The little turtle responded in her mind, "In the sea, I love playing in the sea!"
Jiang An smiled and said, "Okay, then you must be careful!"
Then, she took out a Purple Frost Fruit from her storage ring.
Seeing this, the little turtle opened its mouth wide, and the purple frost fruit landed accurately in its mouth.
The little turtle happily ate its delicious food, wagging its tail, and then swam to the back of the steamship.
As it ate more and more sentient food, it became increasingly intelligent and learned that by staying at the stern, it wouldn't need to expend effort breaking through the ice and could easily keep up with the speed of the steamship.
After watching the little turtle swim to the stern, Jiang An stood up and put the three stone boxes and the automatic fishing rod on the deck into his backpack.
"Ash, set sail!"
[Master, Ash has received this!]
Soon, the steamship began to sail smoothly, and Jiang An returned to the storage room with a full harvest, ready to start today's unpacking activity.
Today's catch at sea was so-so, about the same as usual.
I encountered a giant fish and obtained a metal box.
As usual, I'll open the best one.
[Energy Stone*2, Electronic Component*1]
Both items are scarce; energy stones can replenish the protective shield's energy, while electronic components are important materials for upgrading the ship.
As for the blueprints from the early stages of the game, they are still nowhere to be found.
Next came three stone chests!
[Plastic*2, Glass*3, Clay*2, Iron*2, Fabric*1]
This batch of unboxing videos only contains basic materials.
"Disassemble!" After sorting out the materials from the treasure chests, Jiang An immediately said to disassemble them. Since he didn't need these chests anyway, he might as well disassemble them into basic materials.
[Ding! Decomposition successful! Total harvest: Stone*6, Iron*2]
Then place the various ores you picked up from the seabed in your backpack on the crafting table to break them down.
Jiang An carried the coal directly to the top floor, to the fuel storage area.
[Ding! Fuel successfully added. The fuel tank now contains enough fuel for the steamship to travel 800 kilometers!]
This does not mean that Jiang An has run out of fuel; in fact, her fuel tank can only hold a certain amount of fuel.
Considering the consumption of the steamship's entire energy system and other equipment, the fuel in this fuel tank could only last for about two days at most.
Steamships are the most resource-intensive of all her equipment, so finding more fuel sources is crucial for her.
Fortunately, she discovered a coal mine on the seabed, which meant she had a large supply of coal to meet the needs of the steamship.
It's worth noting that it's not just level 4 players facing fuel shortages; many level 5 players are experiencing the same issue.
To ensure they could sail 300 kilometers a day, they had to shut down some of the ship's energy systems to save fuel.
Because of the existence of coal mines on the seabed, many players spend a lot of time searching for coal resources on the seabed.
However, due to the limited time that the water-repelling beads can be used, especially the basic water-repelling beads which only allow them to stay underwater for one hour, and considering the time required for the journey to and from the seabed, their actual time for searching for materials on the seabed is very limited.
The intermediate-level water-repelling bead was obtained by Jiang An by chance; only a handful of players in the entire 2333 district possessed it.
It was through this fortuitous opportunity that she was able to continue exploring the underwater world and acquire more valuable resources.
Therefore, fuels such as wood and coal remain scarce.
Unfortunately, Jiang An had limited fuel. Apart from keeping some for backup, he traded the rest with a few friends.
"Boss Jiang An, do you have any extra fuel? Could you exchange some?"
"Boss, please save the children! It's getting colder and colder, and we don't even have anything to start a fire for warmth!"
... ...
Jiang An really couldn't figure out which player had leaked the news that she had fuel, so many people now knew about it, and she received countless private messages every day, all of them asking her to exchange fuel.
Jiang An ignored all of this and simply disregarded the information.
