Chapter 104 Life Lies in Movement: One Hundred Ways to Eat Lava Rivers...
Long live Fluffy! [Red Envelope] Sister Dixin! We've saved up our attribute points, here's the stuff for you~
Long live the fluffy ones! And here are my newly planted cherry tomatoes! These tomatoes are neither too big nor too small; my sister thinks they're vegetables, but I think they're fruits.
When Shen Dixin received the six scrolls, he was somewhat stunned, as if he had received a gift that was very expensive but had a low cost-performance ratio.
She hadn't expected them to gather so quickly; she had actually set her sights on a month.
She didn't resell the scrolls; she used them all at once in a lavish manner.
[The player read the Dusty Scroll (Blue) and gained a slight boost, increasing their Constitution from 18 to 19.]
...
[Congratulations, player! You have triggered the talent effect! Strength increased by 3!]
[Congratulations, player, your Constitution has reached 20, and you have learned the passive skill [Life Lies in Movement: When a player consumes Stamina, their Health Regeneration rate is increased by 50%.]]
Six scrolls triggered a critical hit, my luck was so-so, the critical hit was on a blue scroll, which added a total of ten attribute points! It's like going from rags to riches.
Her current stats are as follows: Constitution 20 (16), Strength 32 (14), Agility 12 (16), which has reached an astonishing level.
The reason they were able to acquire so many scrolls was thanks to a few that leaked out during a server-wide event, plus the sisters selling everything they owned.
Originally, Tao Ling and Yun Shi were unexpectedly promoted, one advancing to the third round and the other to the fourth. Moreover, both of their professions were extremely powerful, and their progress would be like a snowball rolling downhill.
My strength should have improved, but after buying the books, I haven't moved at all, and my regional ranking is stuck at 27th and 29th.
The leaderboard has changed a lot. Countless players have come into the public eye at this time. Some of them have benefited from the server-wide event, while others have simply been eliminated because the players who were ranked at the top have been eliminated.
"10946..."
Shen Di thought to himself, "Their channel eliminated about eight hundred people, and the vast majority of those eliminated were quite strong."
After all, the competition in the first two rounds is not very intense, but the battles become more and more brutal as the game progresses. It's not just about snatching number plates; quite a few players kill each other for just two points.
For some players, killing wild animals is much more difficult than killing humans.
But the lives that have passed away also play their role; they are like nutrients, nourishing many rising stars.
The fourth-ranked player is a familiar face: Lava River.
It seems that his focus on combat skills is quite advantageous in battle royale; his strong will must be overflowing.
Shen Dixin immediately became restless, unaware that Yan Jianghe had consumed the elixir and experienced a rapid increase in her cultivation.
She sat upright on the boat, but in her mind she had already devised a hundred ways to eat the lava river.
The lava river, laden with its catch, sneezed. "Ptooey, who's insulting me?"
Completely baffled, he quickly put the matter out of his mind, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit as he muttered to himself, "Once I've evolved my weapon, I'll definitely be able to take her down and avenge this humiliation!"
With one bite, the tomato juice bursts in your mouth, releasing a refreshing sweet and sour flavor.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Dixin held up half a tomato and asked Lu Mingang.
"Tell me, is this a fruit or a vegetable?"
The two studied the problem for quite a while, and in the end, all the tomatoes were turned into sugar-coated tomato chunks.
*
"It can be eaten like fruit; it's delicious."
The chopsticks and lunchbox were put back together, and the one-eyed captain produced a handkerchief from somewhere and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, even though there was no tomato juice on it.
"Chatter, chatter!"
The captain fed the remaining tomato chunks to the parrots.
As the leader, Hanming arrogantly monopolized the entire lunchbox, and it looked like it was about to peck it all away. I wonder if eating so much will give me diarrhea.
Shen Dixin asked curiously, "Can you really taste the food?"
If they could taste the food, why wouldn't all the pale-faced people refuse fish soup? Even the chef himself wouldn't want to drink that stuff!
In her past life, she didn't have a stable source of food. In all the time she'd known the captain, she'd only brought him food a handful of times, and she'd never really paid attention to the pale-faced man's tastes.
They eat whatever food they are given, just like NPCs whose job is to collect food; the only difference is the price.
The one-eyed captain paused, his gaze unusually reproachful, as if rebuking her for exposing the truth.
“Of course…” he said slowly, “I still remember the taste of this red fruit, sweet and sour, didn’t I?”
Okay, Shen Dixin shrugged and didn't continue the topic.
"So all my profits are paid by the shipwright?" This time it was Shen Dixin's turn to condemn.
She hadn't expected the captain to not give her a reward for the mission she took on; when did this guy become so stingy?
The captain glanced at her, took out three compasses, and Chen Dixin took them with a disgruntled expression.
"Isn't this a case of smuggling in your own agenda? I strongly suspect that you're planning to make me do hard labor for free, and then I'll have to thank you for providing me with a job."
Shen Dixin described the captain's behavior very accurately, but he didn't even blink. "Forget it."
"We're like family, your business is my business!"
The compass was snatched away. To say that she was greedy would be a real mistake. She really wanted to help the captain find his lost item because a strange intuition told her that it was involved in a big deal.
Not to mention that they used to be as close as birds in the same boat, thanks to Shen Dixin's actions, the captain successfully stood on her side again, so she also had to pay attention to the captain's affairs.
After bidding farewell to the one-eyed captain, she went to collect her real reward.
The lame boatman saw her from afar and limped over to her, his face wrinkled like a flower.
"My benefactor! Are you done?"
Shen Dixin responded, goosebumps rising all over his body. The shipwright, who had always been arrogant and conceited, suddenly changed his demeanor, and he was really not used to it.
"Tell me, what's needed for the ship's hull finishing?"
She offered the very reward the lame shipwright had promised: unlocking the ship's interior modifications.
The shipwright enthusiastically began his introduction, leaving Chen Dixin completely bewildered.
This is really a modification, not a completely different boat.
Her eyes were somewhat lost. The modifications, such as raising the gunwales and railings and leaving an exit, were still expected.
But the cabin was transformed into a three-story villa, the remaining cabin space was made available, the bottom hull was widened, and the gun turrets were made mobile... This series of modifications is obviously a bit over-the-top.
No wonder shipwrights are so determined not to open their skills to the public. They can do so many modifications to just one ship. If people found out, their doorsteps would be overwhelmed with customers, and they wouldn't have time to rest!
However, building and modifying a ship to this extent is clearly not something that can be done simply by installing parts onto the ship as before.
"Depending on the complexity, it will take about 2-4 hours to complete. Opening up cabin space, which you want, is one of the most time-consuming modifications. It will take at least four hours, and you won't be able to stay on the ship."
“Why don’t you dock your boat at the port tonight, my benefactor, and stay at my house for the night? I can make some extra work on the hull in six hours.”
The shipwright was a little troubled, but he was genuinely concerned for Shen Dixin.
"No need to be so polite, just call me Xiao Shen."
The man kept calling him "benefactor," which made Shen Dixin's scalp tingle. She quickly stopped him. The shipwright already had gray hair, and it wouldn't be fair for him to call him "Little Shen."
Their communication went smoothly, and the shipwright even said he could start work right away!
Shen Dixin quickly stopped him. If he were injured by the sea monster, she would have nowhere to cry!
So the two agreed that once night fell, the shipwright would begin the modifications. By dawn, completing three or four modifications would not be a problem. During this time, Shen Dixin could make do on the ship next door.
