Everyone's A-level skills seem pretty good, and Tao Sai is now increasingly curious about her S-skill [Collapse].
However, to know the exact function of [Collapse], the shelter ship level needs to be upgraded to level four.
After finishing his meal, Tao Sai stood up from his chair. "I'm going back to the East China Sea soon. My ship is over there. What are your plans for the future?"
"I'm definitely going to hang out with Sister Sai, but I have a few friends I need to pick up, as we promised." Tang Yingxue said, "Once I pick them up, I'll go to Donghai to find you."
Shi Jiahui said, "I also have some personal matters to take care of, but I'll be done with them soon."
"Okay, you guys handle your own affairs. Be careful. If anything happens, feel free to contact me through the Alliance channel. I'll come pick you up right away." Tao Sai said, then looked at He Zhaonian. "What about you?"
"I'm fine, Sister Sai, let me go with you." He Zhaonian said happily.
He now feels very light and cheerful. He has very strong A-level skills and is in high spirits.
He Zhaonian has never been a tough player or a skill-based player. He prefers to use his brain, likes to hide, and likes to develop slowly. So when the game of PUBG was first popular, he often won the game with zero kills.
And now that [Diffusion] has been released, it will undoubtedly add icing on the cake to his gaming philosophy.
He hadn't used it yet, but judging by the description and Shi Jiahui's experience, it was undoubtedly a powerful life-saving skill. If he encountered a sneak attack from a malicious player, he could simply dissipate into a quantum state and hide within a wall, rendering him impervious to attack. If he encountered an unstoppable insect swarm, he could simply hide beneath the soil and escape, even merging with the swarm.
The space wormhole opened silently, and the "Glimmer" slowly sailed into the wormhole.
They followed the Yangtze River waterway, visited five locations, and finally opened the other end of the wormhole to Haijiao Bay in Donghai City.
This notch in the coastline can only accommodate one ship, the Deep Sea Fish. He Zhaonian went to find another anchorage nearby according to the offline map.
Tao Sai opened another micro wormhole and took her and 20 commandos onto the deck of the Deep Sea Fish.
What first caught Tao Sai's eye were the touches of green between the neatly arranged shelves and plastic storage boxes. There wasn't much green, but it was enough to catch the eye.
Tao Sai looked carefully and found that the plants on the top layer of the shelf in front of her had begun to sprout. Although no new buds had yet appeared on the other layers, the soil remained fertile and moist and was well maintained.
Tao Sai looked up and was surprised to find that in the familiar position on the edge of the deck, in the storage boxes that had sprouted first, more than a dozen vibrant lettuces had grown.
At this time, the diligent old farmer Lan Xiaojia heard the noise and poked her head out from between the shelves. When she saw the people, she waved enthusiastically, "Sister Sai, you're back!"
"Yeah, I'm back." Tao Sai walked towards her.
"Sister Sai, have you seen the vegetables I planted? Many of them have sprouted." Lan Xiaojia had a smile on her face, waiting for praise proudly.
"I see. The survival rate is pretty good," Tao Sai nodded and gave a thumbs-up. "Excellent."
"Oh, by the way, Sister Sai, the lettuce you planted over there will be ready to eat in a few days." Lan Xiaojia pointed to the plastic storage boxes on the edge of the deck.
"Great, we can finally eat the vegetables we grow ourselves." Tao Sai couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.
She had helped her grandfather grow vegetables in the vegetable garden outside the yard before, but the feeling of growing vegetables in the fields and on the boat was completely different.
"Sister, you are finally back!" Cheng Cong heard the voice and ran out excitedly from the middle of the shelves.
Tao Sai looked up and saw the little boy in front of him, his hands covered in dirt and sweat, clutching a small shovel. He was wearing a loose T-shirt, also stained with mud. Cheng Cong had only the clothes on the boat, and this large T-shirt must have belonged to the adult they had found for him. His only other set of clothes might have been changed.
"Are you used to living on the boat?" Tao Sai asked, brushing the dust off his shoulders.
"I'm used to it." Cheng Cong nodded in response.
"My younger brother is very obedient. He takes the initiative to help me with work and often helps Aunt Li wash dishes. Just now he was helping me dig weeds. He is a hundred times better than Lin Kang!" Lan Xiaojia said, and the last sentence sounded bitter and resentful.
Obviously, Kulin Kang has been suffering for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Tao Sai touched Cheng Cong's head with relief. He was a good boy. It was good that he was not as lazy as his father.
As for Lin Kang, now that she is back, he can forget about having a good life.
During the ten days of Season 1, Tao Sai would occasionally turn her vision back, but each glance was a quick one, focusing only on whether the "Deep Sea Fish" was in danger. She did not pay close attention to the details of what happened on the ship. Her focus during those days was still entirely on gaining points.
Li Yinzhu, who was in the kitchen, also heard the voices and curiously looked out the small window. She immediately saw Tao Sai and waved enthusiastically, "Xiao Tao, it's you!"
"Auntie, I'm back." Tao Sai responded with a smile.
"You've been out for so long, you must be craving for food. What do you want to eat for lunch today? Auntie will make it for you." Li Yinzhu asked.
When Tao Sai left, she packed a backpack with food for her, but those were good for filling her stomach, but they were not as nourishing and nutritious as the meals she cooked.
"Meat, Auntie, I really want to eat the meat you fried." Tao Sai said truthfully.
She had eaten a lot of stir-fried pork and twice-cooked pork made by Li Yinzhu at the Ning family last week, and the taste was amazing.
During these ten days, she was able to eat a wide variety of snacks like those in the supermarket on He Zhaonian's ship, and the vegetables newly grown by Shi Jiahui, but she ate very little meat.
"No problem! Auntie will make twice-cooked pork for you. It just so happened that they found wild garlic sprouts on the nearby mountain two days ago." Li Yinzhu agreed readily and turned to go to the refrigerator to take out the pork belly to thaw.
She knew very well that young people had picky tastes and would find twice-cooked pork greasy if pork belly was used. The pork belly was in the right proportion, with fat and meat alternating, making it tender but not greasy.
Tao Sai walked through the open kitchen and headed towards the large warehouse.
There was a long iron wire tied to each of the large open windows on both sides of the large empty warehouse, and colorful clothes of all sizes were hung on it to dry.
The distance from the front to the back of the empty warehouse is too long, and the wire cannot be straightened and tightened, but someone tied a knot on the wire with thin wire every ten centimeters, so that the hook of the clothes hanger will not be affected by gravity and slide to the middle, which can ensure that the clothes are evenly exposed to sunlight.
The clothes drying on both sides of the large empty warehouse naturally blocked the glaring sunlight, making the warehouse relatively cool.
A gust of sea breeze blew by, the clothes swayed, and the light and shadow were mottled.
Tao Sai suddenly had a wonderful feeling in his heart, a feeling of home.
The other people on the ship had nothing else to do for the time being, so they were basically resting in the large empty warehouse.
Ansong and Annan were exercising on exercise bikes, while Xia Ruowei was playing with the baby beside them, as if teaching him to cheer up his father and aunt.
The others were sitting in front of the projector watching a movie. It was a black-and-white war film, and it was obvious that it was what Grandma Lin and Grandma Zhou wanted to watch, because the two old ladies were watching it with the most enthusiasm.
"Old Zhou, go to the mountain and pick some wild garlic sprouts so I can stir-fry the pork." Li Yinzhu shouted in the kitchen.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhou Weixing stood up from the stool quickly.
He walked over and saw Tao Sai, "Hey, Xiao Tao, you're back."
"Uncle Zhou." Tao Sai nodded politely.
"Xiao Tao, let me tell you, the day before yesterday I discovered a natural beach in the east. After the tide went out, there were schools of crabs and oysters on the beach..." Zhou Weixing talked incessantly.
"Old Zhou, what are you hesitating about?"
It was not until he heard the urging from the kitchen that Zhou Weixing stopped talking and trotted out, "Xiao Tao, when you have time, uncle will take you to Haiha."
“Okay,” Towsey said.
After looking around the deck and the large warehouse, he didn't see Zhou Ning. Tao Sai guessed that she must be in the captain's room.
I went up the stairs, passed the cockpit and pushed the door open. Sure enough, Zhou Ning was sitting upright at the desk studying.
"Taotao, you're back!"
Zhou Ning turned around when he heard the noise, happily put down his pen, and came up to hug her.
"I'm back." Tao Sai said lightly.
"Taotao, are you hurt?" Zhou Ning checked her body up and down.
Tao Sai shook his head. "I told you, my resistance attribute is high now, so even if I get injured, I will heal quickly."
"I forgot." Zhou Ning said.
"But with your intelligence, your memory should be very good." Tao Sai asked doubtfully.
Zhou Ning scratched his head, equally puzzled.
"By the way, have you adapted to the attribute points I added to you?" Tao Sai asked.
"My intelligence is almost there, and I'm not dizzy anymore. My strength is still being processed, and I'm still a little uncomfortable walking. If I'm not careful, I'll fall. But I do ride the stationary bike and lift dumbbells every day."
Zhou Ning said, showing Tao Sai the pages of books and notes on her desk. "Taotao, look, I've finished studying several professional textbooks for my undergraduate electrical engineering major. Although I haven't attended classes taught by professional professors, I remember them well and understand all the key points. There's nothing ambiguous. I think my current level is comparable to that of undergraduate electrical engineering graduates."
"That's great," Tao Sai encouraged her. "Next step is to study for a master's degree."
Zhou Ning held his head when he heard this, habitually afraid of difficulties.
But she quickly got rid of the negative emotions. She was no longer the same person she used to be. She was very smart now. Not only could she learn and remember unfamiliar knowledge quickly, but she could also apply it to other similar situations.
It’s just a graduate course, take a look at it!
"Taotao, did you have a smooth journey in participating in the S1 season this time?" Zhou Ning asked Tao Sai who was lying on the bed.
"It went pretty smoothly, and I was lucky enough to get first place." He said calmly while lying on the soft bed with his legs spread out.
"Wow! So cool!" Zhou Ning exclaimed excitedly. She was indeed her sister, and she felt proud of it.
Tao Sai finally remembered the important matter: "I have saved enough materials, experience points and gold coins this time. Our ship can finally be upgraded to level 4."
Zhou Ning's face was filled with excitement. "That's great! Taotao, you know, coastal areas are hit by typhoons one after another in the summer. I suspect another typhoon is coming, but the network signal is completely down, so I can't get the weather forecast."
"That's fine. A Class IV ship has a large enough displacement and is highly resistant to wind and waves. As long as the storm isn't too extreme, it can definitely withstand it," Tao Sai said. "We can sail a Class IV ship across the ocean."
After saying that, Tao Sai half sat up and selected the [Shelter Ship] module on the retina's main page. She quickly found the [Upgrade] option.
When you hover your focus on an option, the materials required for the upgrade and their current quantities will automatically pop up.
Tao Sai checked again to see if all the conditions were met and clicked [Upgrade].
If there was an observer high in the sky at this time, he would find that the "Deep Sea Fish" anchored in the concave point of the coastline was suddenly enveloped by a huge green beam of light.
The hull slowly changed from the bow deck. The bow of the third-level ship gradually turned into fragments of light and danced, while the new hull gradually condensed from the disappeared place.
The magical changes continued from the bow to the stern, and the people and objects on the boat seemed to be frozen and remained motionless in their original positions.
Five minutes later, the upgrade was completed, and a brand new level 4 shelter ship appeared at the original anchorage. Its huge size almost filled the entire concave spot on the coast.
This is a warship-sized refuge ship with a longer and more imposing hull, a taller bridge, a wider deck, and more spacious living space.
The people and objects on the original third-level shelter ship still appeared in their corresponding positions, and the shelves and plastic storage boxes were still on the deck, but their placement was much more messy.
The solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines are still fixed to the roof of the ship, but the cables connecting them to the power supply are not long enough and need to be re-erected.
Subtitles popped up in front of Tao Sai's eyes.
[Shelter ship upgraded successfully (Lv3→Lv4)! ]
