Chapter 44 The book brought its friends home to play.
[You have received a revelation from the star map: killing creatures will grant triple experience, duration 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds remaining.]
Having obtained a decent buff, even if I don't encounter any islands next, I can still gain experience from the daily monster tides.
There are three types of quests related to star cards: travel distance, main/secondary profession, and island-related quests that activate the card on an island.
There are various bonuses after completing the task. Although there are no restrictions on the use of star cards, once you obtain a bonus, you cannot receive any more star card rewards for three days; they will be directly consumed.
In conclusion, astronomer is not suitable as a primary profession; it is merely a support profession, suitable for players who do not wish to develop two professions simultaneously.
If you only switch to the Astronomer profession, then the profession quests will appear evenly across all professions. Completing them will reward you with the corresponding profession item box. I once heard that someone achieved mastery of all professions by doing this.
Of course, that method requires the right timing, location, and people. To this day, Shen Dixin still doesn't know how that person obtained so many star cards; perhaps it was some kind of high-level talent.
Pulling her thoughts back, Chen Dixin wrapped the rope around her wrist a few times and sat down cross-legged.
Having just faced the strange tides in the storm, the rocking of the ship completely disrupted her attack rhythm. She had to deal with almost every sea monster for a while, and her strength was directly depleted by more than half.
She decided to rest first and resume her training once she had recovered her strength. She closed her eyes to relax and disappeared into the night.
...
"Cleanse your heart, the sun is out!"
Lu Mingang squinted, his eyes almost watering from the sunlight, but he didn't lower his head. He raised his hand to shield his eyes, his gaze lingering as if waking from a dream.
This morning, Shen Dixin was woken up by Lu Mingang. There was no other way; during the storm, everyone's schedule was in complete disarray as they could only sleep when things calmed down.
At this moment, the number of people online in the channel was 7814/10000. Shen Dixin stared at the data steadily, which was much more than the number of survivors in his previous life.
She used to be anxious, constantly watching the number of online users, afraid that she would be next. She still remembers the changes in the number of users in the early stages.
She remembered... After the first day of the storm, there were only six thousand people left in the channel, and by the end, only a third remained.
Many players were only missing a tiny bit of supplies in a critical moment, perhaps just a dozen or so planks, yet they were still successfully eliminated.
Shen Dixin knew that many of her actions might be meaningless, but the connection with her fellow human beings gave her some comfort while she was isolated and helpless at sea.
She didn't want to end up with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people dying.
Suddenly, the bracelet vibrated, and the coffee finally found a suitable seller.
Coffee or tea: Boss! Look at this! [Image] Twenty steel bars or ten steel bars plus a simple blue weapon in exchange. He said it can increase attributes, but I'm not sure if it's expensive or not.
【Item Name: Dusty Scroll】
Item Quality: Blue
[Item Description: A book written in an unknown language, seemingly containing various techniques for physical training. Perhaps you can glean some different knowledge from the pictures.]
The price for twenty steel bars was outrageously high, but the seller confidently claimed that the book was very useful and could increase attribute points; the item description seemed plausible.
I came over to ask about coffee, and also to make my presence known: Boss, I'm really working hard!
Others may not know, but Chen Dixin is a connoisseur; this can indeed increase attributes and permanently enhance the "honesty and integrity" attribute.
The problem is... Shen Dixin just upgraded his ship and borrowed another batch of materials. Now his entire fortune is probably only twenty steel bars. Steel bars and concrete, these two purple materials, are currently at their peak price.
She was determined to get this. The Tiger Fang Dagger was currently her only backup weapon, and selling it would be risky.
Weapons can basically only be obtained by opening chests in Monster Hunter. The blue weapon that Chen Dixin currently has is the Tiger Fang Dagger, which he obtained a long time ago. Not to mention the high-level weapons obtained from the Colosseum, most players with the strength don't even know about them.
Even Chen Dixin doesn't have many weapons, which shows how scarce weapons are in the outside world. 80% of players can only use the green knife given by the crafting table.
Weapon prices are always inflated and there's never a market for them. If you insist on exchanging them for the lowest price, they're worth about six steel bars. The other side is almost offering double that price. The person Coffee found for her is indeed excellent!
Shen Dixin hesitated for a moment, then sent over screenshots of the attribute panels for the purple helmet and purple armor.
AAA Materials Wholesaler Lao Shen: Ask him if he wants these two; they're equivalent to ten steel bars.
The upgraded purple equipment has slightly worse stats than regular purple equipment, so it doesn't sell for much. Shen Dixin wasn't sure if the other party would accept it.
But the news that Coffee brought back was unexpected.
Coffee or Tea: Boss, he asked me if I have anything to do with you. How should I respond?
Shen Dixin raised an eyebrow and, after asking carefully, realized that the person opposite her was an acquaintance.
Luck is on my side: Sis! What a coincidence! It's so convenient if it's you. I was just about to ask you. You need to know how to contact players in other areas in Survival at Sea. Consider this book my payment for the information.
According to my fortune teller, she has a younger sister who had her limbs amputated when she was young and can only move around in a wheelchair. She had observed that the players in the sea survival game were all able-bodied people, and thought that her sister was doing well outside. However, she recently met a player who also had mobility issues.
"If Xiaoling comes here, it'll be all over. What will she do all by herself?"
My luck is on the other end of the line, and I'm constantly muttering to myself, my face full of worry and I can't put my mind at ease. I'd rather spend a lot of money to find out about my sister. Maybe there's such a tool?
Since she's come knocking on my door, she must have confirmed that my sister isn't in the same area. Shen Dixin is a little troubled. If she can take care of herself normally, having one or two points of disability attribute on average isn't a problem. If my sister is more talented, perhaps she can really get in.
Talent is a hidden attribute in everyone, and it is also considered as part of the entry threshold for being pulled into the game.
She replied cautiously, "At least I don't know of such an item, but if you live together, and both of you are alive and in the game, there is a chance that the servers will merge. The merge will start after the storm ends, and the frequency will not be low."
Seeing that she genuinely wanted to find her sister, Shen Dixin said a few more words. While I was disappointed, a glimmer of hope, though unlikely, also crept into my heart.
She was grateful for Shen Dixin's help and insisted on delivering the scroll. Seeing her persistence, Shen Dixin accepted her offer, and at the same time, she no longer had to refuse the two pieces of purple equipment.
By exchanging two upgraded purple equipment pieces for a blue scroll, Chen Dixin got a great deal this time.
[The player read the Dusty Scroll (Blue) and gained a slight boost, increasing their Strength from 15 (4) to 16 (4)]
[Congratulations, player! You have triggered the talent effect! Strength increased by 2!]
After being read, the books also turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.
She squinted, feeling the warm sun. Today was a good start!
Zhu Sha called out to her in her mind. Chen Dixin turned her head and saw a whole group of white jellyfish in front of her! The little creatures were leaping happily in the water, and the sunlight was shining on the sea surface. It was so dreamy.
Shen Dixin automatically imagined a child bringing friends home to play, and her heart softened. She was just about to ask Zhu Sha what her friends ate.
After carefully considering the emotions Zhu Sha was expressing, she looked at her strangely and said, "You said these white jellyfish are especially delicious, and you told me to hurry up and catch some?"
