When the news came out, it was even more exciting than the previous bounty!
The public channel was instantly like a depth bomb was thrown into it!
"[Cooked food?! And hot?! Really?!]"
"[Five boxes for one dish? Has the Wavebreaker boss gone crazy?! The box delivery rate is so low!]"
"[I haven't had anything hot in three days! I'll take out five boxes! Give me the coordinates!]"
"[Don't fight me! I'm close! Homemade stir-fried vegetables! Just hearing about it makes my mouth water! Please, boss, recognize me!]"
"[It's just five boxes! Take a gamble! What if I get some garbage? It's definitely worth exchanging it for a hot dish! Boss, wait for me!]"
For the vast majority of survivors struggling to make ends meet, those randomly floating supply boxes with extremely low shipment rates are often just a consolation prize, or they may even be empty.
The temptation of a steaming hot, home-cooked meal in this cold and cruel sea is simply fatal!
Less than five minutes after Lu Ye sent out the information about the three drop points, two small speedboats came rushing from different directions, cautiously approaching the designated reefs and the edge of the ice belt.
After a simple confirmation and handover, ten dusty, seawater-soaked supply boxes were delivered to the deck of the ship.
When they exchanged for two plates of stir-fried seasonal vegetables packed in simple thermal insulation boxes, which still exuded an enticing aroma, the captains of the two teams were so excited that they almost turned green. After thanking him repeatedly, they hurriedly sailed away as if their butts were in a hurry, fearing that Lu Ye would go back on his word.
Shen Hebei witnessed the entire "loss-making" transaction and felt heartbroken.
"Brother Lu! My dear brother! You're so generous! Ten broken boxes! These are boxes you salvage from the sea. You'd be lucky if you could find one useful one out of ten! Our sister Yiyi worked so hard to cook the dishes, and you're just exchanging them for that? It's a bargain for them! Too good of a bargain for them!"
Cheap? Haha, not necessarily.
Lu Ye smiled noncommittally, walked to the ten supply boxes, and without even looking at them carefully, stretched out his finger and pointed at each box in the air.
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”…
As he moved his fingers, the five supply boxes flashed with light almost at the same time, and system prompts sounded one after another.
[Obtain: Compressed Biscuits x5]
[Obtain: Medical Bandage x2]
[Obtain: Purification Tablets x10]
[Obtain: Low-quality machete x1]
[…Empty box…]
The first five opened in a row, four boxes have goods!
Although the item was not particularly precious, compared to the legendary touching delivery rate, it was enough to make Shen Hebei swallow the rest of his words.
"Hey! You're lucky, Brother Lu!"
Shen Hebei's eyes lit up, thinking it might really be a coincidence.
Lu Ye ignored him and continued pointing to the other five boxes.
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”…
[Obtain: High Energy Chocolate Bar x3]
[Obtain: Broad-spectrum antibiotics x2 bottles]
[Obtain: Small Torpedo x1]
[Obtain: Excellent Dagger x1]
When he saw the prompt of [Small Torpedo x1] pop up, Shen Hebei took a deep breath.
He rushed to Lu Ye in a flash, pointing at the small torpedo that was emitting a dangerous metallic luster, and his voice changed!
"Holy crap! Fish...torpedoes?! You can even get this thing out?! And it's from this crappy box?! Brother Lu! Tell the truth! Are you the true son of this crappy game?! Did the GM give you a backdoor?!"
Shen Hebei clapped his thigh excitedly, looking at Lu Ye with eyes full of shock.
Ten boxes! Nine of them are stocked! And they even gave out medicine and weapons!
Even a powerful weapon like torpedoes appeared! This luck is simply incredible!
"Basic operations, no worries." Lu Yefeng waved his hand calmly and sorted out the supplies he had opened.
Only Lu Ye himself knew that this was not luck at all, but the terrifying effect brought about by his identity as a "lucky man"!
As expected... this [Lucky Guy] identity not only applies to packages from the alien express delivery system, but also to ordinary supply boxes placed in this game!
At this moment, Lu Ye was completely certain!
In other words, I no longer need to waste time and fuel driving a boat around the sea to retrieve those inefficient and scattered supply boxes.
I just need to regularly use the packages from the otherworldly courier system to open some hard goods, and then, like just now, use some things that are luxury goods to others but extremely low-cost to me to exchange for ordinary supply boxes in bulk...
Then, using the identity of [Lucky Guy], these low-value "lottery tickets" can be turned into high-return "ATMs"!
The ship adjusted its course, and the roar of the engine was particularly clear on the sea shrouded in twilight.
The setting sun was as red as blood, dyeing the clouds in the sky and the sea surface with an ominous orange-red.
There are still four days until the next "easter egg" will arrive as prompted by the system.
Every minute and every second can mean the difference between life and death.
According to the information provided in the previous bounty mission, the first place they had to go was the location of the "Blade Crab" group twenty nautical miles to the southeast.
But before that, a fleeting distress signal coordinate on the public channel caught Lu Ye's attention.
The coordinates were not too far from their current route, and the signal was sent not long ago.
Stop by and take a look.
It won't take much time anyway.
Lu Ye was thinking in his mind and ordered Shen Shu to slightly adjust the course.
"Be alert." Lu Ye's voice was conveyed to everyone through the ship's communicator.
"The placement of that distress signal is a little odd."
Not long after, when the Breaking Waves approached the coordinates of the signal source, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
A huge, majestic white cruise ship, like a stranded monster, floats quietly on the orange-red sea.
It is at least three times the size of a ship, with smooth hull lines and modern design. Even in the gradually dimming light, you can see some of the facilities on the deck reflecting the metallic luster.
However, this cruise ship, which was supposed to be a palace on the sea, was now lifeless, with no lights, no engine sounds, and not even a sign of activity.
What's even more bizarre is that around the cruise ship, there are no less than seven or eight small speedboats and temporarily modified fishing boats gathered, obviously new players who have just arrived in this sea area.
"Holy crap! A huge ship!" Shen Hebei couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this... a rescue ship? Or some special dungeon?"
"I don't know." Lu Ye frowned, his sharp eyes scanning the huge cruise ship.
"Is this where the distress signal was sent from? But this ship doesn't look like it's been through a battle."
At this time, the new players could no longer contain their excitement. On the nearest speedboats, some people had already started using their hands and feet to climb up the cruise ship's gangway or low railings.
