Chapter 93 Ice Fishing Artifact
Mingzhao put on her self-heating thermal underwear and down jacket and walked to the window.
Just as she had expected, a thick layer of ice had formed on the sea surface.
Heavy snow was falling in the air, and a thin layer of snow had already covered the ice surface.
There were also parts of the ship that were covered in ice and snow.
However, it has already been mostly cleared out by Ash's Nether Bone Hands.
She opened her private messages and found that Pineapple Snow had sent her 400 diesel fuels.
Mingzhao sent it to the small group and assigned 40 to everyone.
Pineapple Snow: "Boss, my platform seems to be unaffected by low temperatures. It has a built-in de-icing device, so I will continue production today."
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Hmm, I don't know when the freeze will end, so don't sell the diesel to anyone else yet."
Mingzhao installed the ice-breaking drill bit yesterday.
She asked Xiaozhi to drive the boat to test its effectiveness.
A tremendous roar erupted as each engine strained to its fullest, propelling the ship and icebreaker drills to push aside the ice in front of it.
Even so, Mingzhao calculated that the maximum speed was only 25 knots.
Fortunately, she ran a lot more mileage; those who were constantly being chased by the police line are now truly in mortal danger.
Xiao Zhi calculated the current gasoline consumption and found that maintaining this speed would consume 50 diesel fuels per day.
Despite having plenty of mileage left, Mingzhao had no intention of staying put.
If the ship remains stationary, it will soon freeze to the ice, making it unable to move forward and restricted in all directions. Even an ice-breaking drill will be useless then.
Moreover, if the engine is not run for a long time, it will freeze and then it will be difficult to start.
I opened the panel, and Jianbing Gouzi had already sent me today's breakfast.
[Player Pancake Dog is offering you food: Creamy Corn Soup*1, Cheese Crab Burger*1, Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea*1.]
Her new cooking skill took effect, granting Mingzhao a permanent intelligence boost and a +10 luck buff for one hour.
Intelligence is what Mingzhao needs to improve most right now.
It should be noted that humans on the mainland originally had no magical talent, because their bodies were naturally incompatible with magic.
However, the Grand Voyage system grants players the ability to manipulate magic, and the strength of this ability is determined by intelligence.
Players with higher intelligence correspond to ocean dwellers with stronger talents, and they learn and understand magic much faster.
Therefore, Mingzhao decided that from now on, all attribute bonuses should prioritize intelligence.
The plan to kill monsters and gain attribute points will be restarted, but this time, for the sake of efficiency, she will kill more powerful magical monsters.
The Netherworld Bone Hand has brought up a lot of boxes in the past two days, but Mingzhao hasn't opened them yet.
Taking advantage of her lucky streak today, she plans to activate all of them.
Mingzhao first used his Clear Vision to find the box containing the monster.
The monsters in the box are of a low level and can no longer provide her with any attribute bonuses.
She took them all to the training room for Mimi to practice on.
After Mimi used the aquamarine, her learning efficiency in water magic increased rapidly.
Mingzhao let her practice in her own training room, so that she could sense any danger immediately.
The remaining 15 silver chests and 1 gold chest yielded a considerable amount of resources.
Mingzhao was particularly interested in one of the drawings.
[Ice Fishing Gadget: A must-have for anglers, allowing you to fish directly on the ice. (Alchemy Product)]
These rather magical items, whose workings are unclear, are usually alchemical creations.
However, unlike the Invisibility Cloak which requires Alchemy Points, this can be crafted now.
The materials needed are also very simple, all of them are common resources, the only alchemical material being the Space Gem.
Mingzhao took out the Fire Dragon Bone Alchemy Set and assembled it.
Because no alchemy level is required, the crafting of the Ice Fishing Artifact is directly driven by gems.
Place the Space Diamond in the energy slot below, and then place the required materials on the forging table.
Mingzhao followed the instructions on the blueprints precisely, executing the operations step by step.
Unfortunately, the first attempt failed.
It took four tries before I finally succeeded.
What appeared in her hand was a very ordinary sea fishing rod, with nothing special about it.
However, Mingzhao discovered that his alchemy level had increased by one level.
Oh! So that's how you level up your alchemy skills. That explains why she's been practicing elemental manipulation every day but hasn't been able to improve her level.
It seems that we still need to learn through practice!
With a little more work on making deep-sea fishing gadgets, you'll soon be able to make an invisibility cloak!
Mingzhao took his fishing gear to the deck and cast the bait out with a fishing motion.
As the instructions say, the fishhook encountered no resistance when it hit the ice and went straight through to the water.
Within two minutes, she felt something take the bait!
Mingzhao held a staff in one hand and a fishing rod in the other.
The fish caught encountered no resistance when pulled up from under the ice.
The moment the prey came up, before Mingzhao could even see what was happening, three weapons were launched at him.
He Meihai's intuition, honed through countless rehearsals, came in handy.
Three small water shields instantly floated in the air, perfectly blocking all the weapons.
Immediately afterwards, lightning struck!
The prey was electrocuted and convulsed on the deck, unable to move.
Mingzhao looked at the monster on the ship's deck.
[Iceblade Swordfish (Magic): An ice-type monster that can unleash ice blades; its mouth can pierce through anything regardless of defense (can be used as an alchemy ingredient). It lives in cold-water oceans and has delicious flesh.]
The swordfish's "sword" looked difficult to deal with, but luckily I chose to use ranged attacks.
Magical creatures are indeed extraordinary; this level of attack is not something everyone can defend against.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: Ice Blade Swordfish Kiss Thrust *1, Swordfish Meat *3.]
It can ignore defenses; perhaps it can be used to forge armor-piercing weapons later. I'll keep it for now.
Mingzhao opened the small group chat for the Milk Dragon Gang.
The atmosphere in the group was very cheerful. Everyone was praising the food that Jianbing Gouzi made, and there was no sign of the depression caused by the natural disaster.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "How are everyone's ships doing? They're not frozen, are they?"
The innocent female monkey: "No, no, boss, it's all thanks to your reminder."
He kicked the cripple's good leg hard: "My speed is only 20 now, but luckily I listened to you and ran a little more."
Energetic Liu Laolao: "Hahahaha, boss, didn't you see? The group chat is in complete chaos. It's time to stir things up and get it over with."
Hyrule thug: "That's right, I want to see what use walking around naked is for breaking the ice."
Mingzhao was too lazy to check the large group chat; it wasn't time to close the net yet.
The ship is frozen, but the warning line hasn't arrived yet.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Never mind them, I have something good here. [Image]. Do you need it? But the materials are quite expensive; I need four sets of materials and four Space Diamonds."
Beautiful young woman and strong man: "Sea fishing artifact, sounds amazing. But boss, what's under the ice? Is there any danger?"
