Countless exclamations filled the entire regional channel.
Everyone was shocked by the name "Lu Ye" and the information of "killing the iron-tooth shark".
[Am I seeing this right? Irontooth Shark?! A novice can kill that thing?! He's cheating!]
I just encountered a small sea fish and nearly capsized my boat, and now the big guy has already started slaughtering sharks?! Is the world really that magical?
[Big brother is awesome! Please guide me! Where is Big Brother? What are his coordinates? Please help me!]
This guy is definitely a tough guy! Is he from the military? Or an extreme sports enthusiast? His adaptability is incredible!
"It's only the second day, right? So much progress? I seriously doubt the difference between people..."
Looking at these rapidly scrolling chat records, Lu Ye frowned slightly.
It is not a good thing to become famous too quickly...A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Now, there are probably a lot of people eyeing him...
Just as he was thinking this, another cold system prompt sounded in his and Shen Shu's minds at the same time:
[System prompt: Detected that player Lu Ye has achieved the important achievement "Novice Shark Hunter", triggering a regional achievement broadcast!]
[Warning: Your real-time location coordinates will be marked and displayed in the [Regional Channel] for the entire region for three minutes!]
[Coordinate marking countdown begins: 2 minutes 59 seconds... 2 minutes 58 seconds...]
The expression on Lu Ye's face froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.
He roared wildly in his heart.
Is there such a setting?! Not only does it drop gear from killing a monster, but it also broadcasts the coordinates to the entire server?!
Are you afraid that others won’t be able to find me?! System, you idiot! Even if you’re cheating me, you can’t do it this way!!!!
This is not a glorious broadcast at all, it is a death warrant!
"Novice shark hunter"?
It sounds impressive, but in this precarious sea, exposing one's strength and position too early is like lighting a torch in the dark night. It will definitely attract more than just moths, but more hungry wolves!
What if someone with malicious intentions, or who thinks he is very powerful, takes a fancy to the upgrade package he just got, or even this pretty good kayak... the consequences will be unimaginable!
I just escaped from a shark's mouth and don't want to get involved in a fight with other players right away!
Chen Shu, who was in his arms, heard this fatal reminder. She raised her head suddenly, and the blood drained from her delicate face: "Lu Ye... coordinates... mark? Three minutes? Then everyone can see us here?!"
Her reaction was even faster than Lu Ye had expected. Apparently, this Dr. Shen, who seemed cold on the outside but warm on the inside, was not slow in thinking at all.
"That's what I mean!" Lu Ye cursed softly, quickly letting go of the arm that was still around Shen Shu, his expression becoming extremely serious.
"Don't panic! Three minutes! We still have time! Looking at the regional channels, they must be going crazy right now, but it'll take time for them to get here after seeing the news! Besides, in the vast ocean, they might not be able to pinpoint the exact location!"
His eyes were as sharp as a knife as he swept across the countdown that kept jumping on the system interface, and his brain was working rapidly.
"Most importantly! Don't forget the upgrade pack we just received!" Lu Ye's tone was firm, with a calmness that made him remain calm in the face of danger. "Ten pieces of iron, rubber, and wood! Enough for us to upgrade this ship immediately! Increase its speed and durability!"
Chen Shu was infected by the power in his words, and her panicked heart calmed down a little. She nodded vigorously: "Yes! Upgrade! Let's go now!"
"That's right! Right now! Immediately!"
Lu Ye no longer hesitated, his mind sinking into the system interface.
In the system backpack, the three piles of brand new materials exuded an attractive luster.
[Do you want to upgrade the "Intermediate Kayak" by consuming 15 Iron Blocks, 50 Wood Blocks, and 10 Rubber Blocks?]
"yes!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Ye chose to confirm!
Almost the next second after confirmation, a barely perceptible white light lit up from inside the kayak under his feet.
Lu Ye keenly noticed the difference!
The feeling under my feet has changed!
It no longer has the slightly thin plastic feel of before, but a solid metallic feel!
He suddenly looked down, and his pupils dilated instantly!
The original khaki intermediate kayak has now changed drastically!
The overall size of the hull seems to have not changed much, and it still maintains a size suitable for two people to ride, but the material that makes up the hull has changed from the original high-strength plastic to a dark gray alloy that gleams with a cold metallic light!
The lines are tougher and smoother, giving people an extremely solid and reliable feeling!
What made his heart beat even more wildly was that at the tail of the kayak, where there was originally an empty space, there was now a small power device with a sophisticated structure!
A silver-gray propeller was half submerged in the water, with a black pull rope hanging next to it!
Ding! Your "Intermediate Kayak" upgrade has been successful! Congratulations on obtaining the "Ultimate Assault Boat"!
The Ultimate Assault Boat: Made from a blend of lightweight alloy and polymer materials, it offers significantly improved durability and stability, and comes with a built-in small outboard engine that can be manually started.
Holy crap! The ultimate assault boat?!
It even has its own fucking engine?!
Lu Ye almost couldn't help but jump up on the spot! This upgrade was like going from a bicycle to a motorboat in one step!
System! You finally acted like a human being! You didn't give me the whole job when my coordinates were exposed!
He was ecstatic, and his previous worries were greatly alleviated by this huge surprise.
That's great! With a power unit, you can finally free your hands and say goodbye to the painful days of paddling! You can also increase your speed, greatly increasing your chances of escaping!
"Look! Chen Shu! The boat is different! We have an engine!" Lu Ye pointed to the stern excitedly.
Shen Shu had already noticed the change, and her eyes were also shining with surprise.
Time is running out and there is no time to waste!
Lu Ye immediately bent down, grabbed the black starting rope, and imitated the scene he had seen in the movie before, pulling it with all his strength!
"Buzz—buzz—thump!"
A powerful engine sound rang out, and the propeller at the stern began to spin rapidly, stirring up a cloud of white waves!
The assault boat suddenly rushed forward, and its speed increased instantly!
"Let's go!" Lu Ye shouted, feeling the sea breeze blowing towards him, and his mood became much better.
The assault boat was like an arrow shot from a bow, drawing a straight line on the sea surface and quickly moving away from the sea area where it had just stayed.
While the speedboat was sailing automatically, the two could finally take a breath and sit side by side in the cabin.
"Huh..." Lu Ye let out a long breath and wiped his forehead, which was either sweat or seawater. "It's safe for now. However, the coordinates are still more than a minute away, so we have to keep moving at high speed."
He looked at Shen Shu, his expression becoming serious again: "Next, we need to make a plan. The first goal is to collect supplies."
