This scene was clearly seen by the survivors nearby who were still struggling with a wave and a box!
"What...what is that?! How much did you catch in one net?!"
"Ten... a dozen?! Am I seeing things?!"
"We worked so hard for most of the day, risking capsizing, and yet they didn't catch as much as they did in one net?!"
The strong contrast completely unbalanced the mentality of these players who were already on the verge of despair!
"Sigh..." Someone looked at his empty cabin, then at the supply boxes piled up on the deck of the Wavebreaker in the distance, sighed, and complained in a low voice to his companions.
"See? This is the difference... No matter how much we fish, no matter how exhausted we are, we probably won't get anything good... Their ships, their equipment... This crappy game, is there no way we can survive!"
"It's just that... their starting point is different from ours... what's the point of us struggling..."
On the deck of the Wavebreaker, supply boxes were piled up like mountains, forming a stark contrast with the survivors in the distance who were struggling in the wind and waves, and would celebrate for a long time if they occasionally fished out an empty box.
“Comparing yourself to others is frustrating…”
Similar lamentations were heard one after another in regional channels.
The players who had just witnessed the Breaking Wave's "catcher in the dark" almost had jealousy in their eyes, but it was extinguished by a deeper sense of powerlessness.
"Forget it. That ship is clearly no match for us... Maybe some big shot got incredibly lucky at the start."
Some people try to comfort themselves, or numb themselves.
"Luck? Humph, I don't think so... Maybe their fuel consumption is also high. A ship that big, how much fuel does it need every day? Although we get less, our fuel consumption is also low..."
Another voice echoed with a sour tone, trying to find a trace of psychological balance.
Little did they know that the scene on the Breaking Waves at this moment was completely different from the "huge consumption" they had imagined.
Xiong Ren stood beside a pile of supply boxes that had just been dragged onto the deck and were still dripping with seawater. He watched Lu Ye calmly prepare to open the boxes, but his heart was in turmoil.
So many boxes...it must be expensive, right?
The Wavebreaker is so powerful, fuel, maintenance... which one doesn't require resources?
What if the products we sell are not enough to cover our investment? Will Brother Lu think that we are a burden?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He rubbed his hands, which were a little sweaty due to nervousness, moved closer to Lu Ye, and lowered his voice.
"Um...Brother Lu...Xiaoya and I don't eat much, so compressed biscuits are fine. You don't have to take special care of us..."
He tried to express his "understanding" for fear of being abandoned.
Lu Ye was holding a multifunctional engineering shovel, preparing to pry open a box with a food logo printed on it. He glanced at him when he heard the words, and saw his cautious look, afraid of being rejected, and he couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is really... so honest that he's a little cute.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Ye casually inserted the engineering shovel into the gap of the box, exerted force, and with a "click", the box lid popped open.
"Follow me, how can I let you go hungry? Don't worry, if I have something to eat, you won't be left without it."
His tone was relaxed, with an unquestionable certainty.
Xiong Ren looked at Lu Ye's matter-of-fact expression, and the heavy stone in his heart fell a little, but he was still a little worried.
Really...is it enough?
The following scene completely shattered all of Xiong Ren's doubts and made him deeply understand what "rich and inhumane" meant.
Lu Ye opened the boxes one after another as if working on an assembly line.
Metal boxes, wooden boxes, plastic boxes... With the sounds of "bang", "click" and "crash", all kinds of supplies appeared on the deck as if by magic.
Just one hour's worth of fishing -
A dozen boxes of daily necessities printed with images of toothbrushes, towels, and soap;
Three full boxes of neatly stacked building materials, including sheet metal, composite wood, and screws;
Six boxes crammed full of compressed biscuits, canned beef, energy bars, and dehydrated vegetables;
There are also two sealed fuel barrels that emit a special smell!
"Gudong." Xiong Ren swallowed hard, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his mouth was half open, almost enough to fit an egg.
He froze in place, his mind going blank.
He thought back to when he and his sister had risked their lives, rowing a small broken boat and drifting on the sea for most of the day. They would be lucky enough to fish out one or two boxes, and they would be thankful if they could get a little bit of useful things out. Most of the time, it was empty, or just a few pieces of rotten wood!
And now...how long has it been?
Just one hour! So many things opened?!
There was enough supplies for the two of them, no, enough for everyone on the ship to live comfortably for a long time!
Xiong Ren's eyes instantly turned red, and he even had an urge to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Ye on the spot!
This is not just finding a captain, this is simply holding on to the thigh of a god!
However, just when Xiong Ren was so excited that he wanted to bow down to him, Lu Ye, who had gained a lot, frowned slightly, and there was not much joy on his face.
There are enough daily necessities, food and fuel are also replenished, and building materials can also be used to strengthen the hull...
But... Lu Ye looked at the basic supplies all over the ground, but he was not very satisfied.
These things can only guarantee survival. If you want to widen the gap, you have to rely on rarer things... For example, skill scrolls!
He clicked on the regional channel of the bracelet and quickly browsed the information.
Sure enough, in addition to the wailing and complaints, there was some information that caught his attention.
[Player X]: I'm so unlucky when it comes to opening chests! Nine out of ten are empty, and the last chest didn't give me anything to eat, but it gave me a gold skill scroll fragment?! What's that for?! Can I exchange it for food?!
[Player Y]: Stop complaining! I got three colorless scrolls, all of them with incredibly basic life skills. Might as well give me two loaves of bread! Who wants them? Ten pieces of iron for one!
[Player Z]: Weird things happen every year, but today was especially bad... The drop rate here is weird too! I didn't get any food, and they gave me two [Blueprint Fragments·???] in a row. Does anyone know what these are for? They look like weapon parts. I put them in the trading area to get some food. I'm starving!
Blueprint fragments? Weapons?
Lu Ye's eyes focused and he immediately clicked on the trading market.
Without hesitation, he used the basic supplies he had previously looted, mainly food and a small amount of medicine that the survivors urgently needed.
He bought up everything in the trading area marked as "scroll fragments" and "drawing fragments" in seconds, regardless of color or grade, at a price slightly higher than the market price!
"Ding! Transaction successful!"
"Ding! Obtain [Golden Scroll Fragment] x1!"
"Ding! Obtain [Blue Scroll] x1!"
"Ding! Obtained [Blueprint Fragment: Heavy Gun Barrel] x1!"
"Ding! Obtained [Blueprint Fragment: Heavy Gun Feeder] x1!"
"Ding! Obtained [Blueprint Fragment: Heavy Gun Grip] x1!"
