Chapter 56 Standing Together: I love cinnabar the most!
The addition of these two titles brings the total number of titles for "Chen Dixin" to over 20, and also unlocks another title.
The messages were piling up and flooding her screen. Shen Dixin read them one by one with great interest. After each event, a series of notifications filled her with the joy of accomplishment!
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the unique title "Please Call Me Title Supplier". This title is unlocked when you have 20 or more titles. For every 10 titles you have, your critical hit rate increases by 3%.]
The channel was filled with cheers and jubilation as everyone celebrated their team's victory. Unlike last time when Shen Dixin won first place on three lists, this time it was a channel-wide victory, and everyone was a winner!
She casually allocated the attribute points she received to Agility, and is now focused on stacking Agility. She also allocated the attribute points she received from the 25th wave of sea monsters to Agility.
After all, survival at sea is not like a traditional online game where you follow the traditional warrior-mage-priest strategy. In survival, every attribute is essential. You can develop them unevenly, but it's best not to have any weaknesses.
Her current stats are as follows: Constitution 11 (20), Strength 20 (8), Agility 8 (12).
The items from the profession item box were pretty standard: a blue item I didn't need, and a constellation card that hadn't been seen in a long time.
The three-day cooldown period for the bonus had just ended, and Chen Dixin finally remembered to use the Star Card. It had a blue border and the mission was to collect prey drops.
[Slaughter? No, it's the joy of harvest!]
However, something good appeared on Lu Mingang's end; he handed over a blueprint.
"Dixin, look at this! Is it useful?"
[Large Collection Net Blueprint (Purple)]
"Good luck! This is very useful."
Chen Dixin took the blueprints and affirmed.
After a few days, the collection network's position became awkward, as its capacity of twenty materials limited its effectiveness.
More importantly, after upgrading the route to a ship, the bow becomes narrower, allowing only a maximum of two collection nets to be placed. Even with one net on each side, that's only four nets, not enough to collect much resources—better than nothing.
The large collection net is different; not only does it have a capacity of one hundred materials, but it can also be stacked and extended to three collection nets on both sides! It is a full twelve meters long.
The collected supplies will gradually gather near the ship along the slanted structure, and it is not particularly difficult for players to organize them.
Compared to the green collecting net, the large purple collecting net truly deserves the title of "collecting net"!
Now Lu Mingang can get an extra experience from ordinary materials, cough, to be precise, Shen Dixin's experience gain has increased again.
Now, she kills sea monsters every day and eats what Lu Mingang gave her, guaranteeing her at least three to four thousand experience points. With the abundance of high-level ingredients lately, reaching five thousand is not a problem.
It took 1200 planks, 180 nails, and 600 ropes to build six collection nets. The cost of such large items was quite high, and it would probably take four or five days to earn back the cost of the materials.
As soon as it was installed, the net scooped up four or five supplies. Lu Mingang looked on with curiosity and went to the side of the boat to wait for them to drift back to him.
After installing the large collection net, the boat becomes less convenient to turn and is more likely to hit obstacles. Shen Dixin has many years of sailing experience, which is why he dared to install these nets without opening the wheelhouse.
Of course, the driver's cab won't be far away.
That's the basic building unlocked for Tier 4 ships, and Chen Dixin has already been receiving triple the loan repayments one after another.
She nominally gave the players two days to repay their loans, but at this rate of income, they might be able to upgrade to level four ships tonight!
After glancing at the compasses again, Shen Dixin was now certain that these compasses were pointing to different locations.
Because whenever she tried to use the compass, a familiar prompt would pop up.
[No trace of the target found. Please continue your voyage.]
Helplessly shelved it, I calmed my mind and embraced the cinnabar.
After its strength increased, it can stay on the shore for longer. Now, even when the water on its body is dried off, it refuses to return to the sea. The whole jellyfish feels smooth and elastic to the touch.
"Won't you feel uncomfortable without water? Don't force yourself to stay on the boat... What... you mean I'll hug you if you do that?"
Shen Dixin blinked, feeling touched but also embarrassed. How did the child suddenly become so smart? He was not easy to fool anymore.
Looking at Zhu Sha, who was still clinging to her arms, Chen Dixin felt inexplicably guilty. Her desire to have more pets seemed rather pathetic...
No matter what, she definitely likes cinnabar the most!
Zhu Sha was indeed not a temperamental child. After Shen Dixin explained why she wanted to raise another pet, it readily agreed, only requesting that it not raise a second one that could swim in the water.
It's simple. Although you can't be sure what will hatch from a pet egg, pets can be transferred. If a pet's affection level with another person is higher than its current owner's for three days, it will re-establish itself as its owner.
If the hatched eggs are not good, we can sell them at a discount. As long as the price is low enough, there will always be someone who needs them.
Chen Dixin showered Zhu Sha with sweet words, completely winning her over. Zhu Sha's loyalty had already reached 90, making it extremely difficult to raise it further.
Loyalty: 90 (It will stand by you through thick and thin, even in life and death.)
Pets' emotions are so pure; as long as their owners treat them with care, they are always the first to surrender their affections.
Treat them as your life partners, and they will treat you the same way, after all, they recognized you the moment they came into this world.
Keep an eye out for pet eggs of blue rarity or higher when you're looking for something to eat; they're not common.
The boats continued sailing. The wind and rain subsided, the sun umbrellas were put up again, and the fishing nets were set up as usual. Everything returned to normal.
...
In the distance, a figure rapidly approached on the sea.
Upon closer inspection, she lowered her guard. It was the little mermaid Soraya; she had finally arrived.
Soraya leaped onto the boat with her hands, her fish tail transforming into legs wrapped in clothing, making her look no different from a human.
Lu Mingang, who was chopping vegetables, saw this scene and was so shocked that he almost cut his hand!
Soraya glanced at him. He was a small creature, but he possessed a cleansing aura. She concluded that he was an unrelated person.
She looked apologetic. "I'm so sorry, Dixin, I've kept you waiting. I was arrested by the king as soon as I got back. He doesn't like me getting close to the curse."
Soraya's desire for more pearls, her contact with humans amidst the storm, and the fact that she lost the Heart of the Ocean while playing with it—these things naturally couldn't be kept secret from the other mermaids.
In fact, Wang was able to release her so quickly thanks to Shen Dixin! Otherwise, he would have locked this unfortunate child up for at least three to five years to teach her some skills.
I made an appointment with my merman friends to trade, so I can't just disappear.
No matter how unreliable the little mermaid may be, the soul fluctuations of her own kind will not be mistaken, and no one dares to impersonate her.
Therefore, when the villagers heard that she had encountered someone carrying blessings, they had no doubts. Some of the hospitable people even gave her the opportunity to invite Shen Dixin to play at the bottom of the sea.
"The king has given me the sole authority to recover the polluted Heart of the Ocean from humanity, and he's also approved a large quota for pearls," Soraya said, raising her head to claim credit.
In reality, the mermaid didn't care about these trivial matters. The king was just trying to find something for his child to do so he wouldn't cause trouble every day. Collecting the polluted Heart of the Ocean should keep her busy for a while, right?
Pearls? They're not rare at all, but creatures on land always want them and often use them as currency, so the mermaids have taken control of them.
With Chen Dixin in charge, the Mermaid King's plans were destined to fail, and she took charge of all the affairs herself.
"Leave it to me. I'll help you contact the other humans. The Heart of the Ocean... three pearls for each one?"
"no problem!"
