Chapter 10 Upgrading to Tier 2 Ships
【confirm! 】
Please select an upgrade direction.
Tier 1 ships have very few upgrade options, with only three choices: ordinary passenger ships, ordinary cargo ships, and icebreakers.
Cargo ships were not needed, and if they really encountered frozen waters, there were other ways to break the ice, so Mingzhao ultimately chose a regular passenger ship.
Upgrading a level 1 ship takes 4 hours, but unfortunately I have to go to bed at 10 pm, so I'll have to check it tomorrow.
The initial sea area was sunny on the 4th.
At six o'clock sharp, Mingzhao jumped up from his seat.
She was no longer in the small driver's seat of the duck boat, but in a transparent cockpit.
However, because I had been sleeping in my seat, I was still in my seat when I woke up.
Stepping out of the cockpit and onto the deck, Mingzhao discovered that all his supplies were haphazardly piled up on the deck.
A typical passenger ship has a bedroom of about 10 square meters and a toilet of about 5 square meters.
The bedroom has a bunk bed with a desk underneath, the kind you find in university dorm rooms.
The toilet contained only a simple toilet, but there was space for a shower.
There is a small storage room downstairs from the bedroom.
It was very basic, but Mingzhao, who had been sleeping in the driver's seat, was already very satisfied.
The bedding, shower head, and water heater can all be exchanged with others later. Most importantly, the boat's performance has been greatly improved.
In addition to the original three electric motors, two more electric motors have been added. The maximum speed can reach 50 knots.
There are still a few empty spaces for the engine, so we can install a few more engines.
Mingzhao lay on the bed, which consisted of only a single bed board, comfortably stretching out his limbs.
[Congratulations to the player who became the first player in server 14630 of the Rabbit Kingdom to upgrade their ship. Would you like to remain anonymous?]
"Not anonymous."
The bold text is displayed in the announcement section.
[Congratulations to player "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex" for becoming the first player in server 14630 of the Rabbit Kingdom to upgrade their ship! All players, please continue your efforts and upgrade your ships soon!]
The once lifeless group erupted in excitement once more.
Take things lightly: "What did I tell you? He sold so much low-quality food before just so he could be the first to level up, and you guys were still stupidly thanking him."
He kicked the cripple's good leg hard: "Shut your mouth, nobody cares what you think."
Energetic Liu Laolao: "As expected of the big boss I follow, the fan club is still recruiting!"
Huang, the clear-headed guy: "How did you collect so many upgrade cards? Share them with us! Wouldn't it be better if we all upgraded together?"
The innocent-looking female monkey: "Who do you think you are? You have no shame."
Little Butter Latte Cult Followers: "I raise the banner for the big boss! Let's see who dares to oppose him!"
...
Mingzhao opened the golden treasure chest as a reward from the announcement with great anticipation, but frowned when he saw the few purple cards.
Ship shields and electric harpoons—they all seem to be things that already exist or have overlapping functions.
Then she remembered that she had an initial talent that she had never used.
【I Only Want the Best】: When opening any type of treasure chest, players will receive cards equal to 10 times the number of resources inside the chest (upgradeable). Players can then choose the resources they need most from the chest. Players receive one shuffle opportunity daily to redraw the resources from the treasure chest.
Shuffle the cards!
Fifty brand-new cards appeared in the box, and Mingzhao's furrowed brows finally relaxed.
[Attribute Boost Card *1, Multi-purpose Zipline *1, All-purpose First Aid Pill *1, Diesel Engine *1, Bulletproof Vest *1]
These are all very practical items.
The attribute upgrade card can increase each attribute by two points, but it will cause severe pain all over the body, so Mingzhao plans to use it later.
The versatile zipline is a PVP godsend. Against ordinary passenger ships that have no offensive capabilities, ziplining to the enemy ship when they are not paying attention is a very practical tactic.
All-purpose emergency pills can save lives in critical moments.
The diesel engine can increase the speed by 20 knots. With it installed, the ship's maximum speed reaches 70 knots.
Bulletproof vests are also good; just wear them directly.
After handling all the supplies, Mingzhao couldn't wait to jump into the cockpit chair.
Set the speed to 70 knots and go full speed ahead!
Level 2 boats are great; they're much more stable than duck boats and rarely deviate from their course. You only need to adjust the steering wheel periodically.
The ship cut through the sea, speeding forward, and the white foam it kicked up kept hitting the deck.
This feeling of speeding along is really exhilarating.
However, Mingzhao soon discovered that he couldn't fish with electricity or open boxes by driving like that, so he had to regretfully reduce the speed to fifty knots.
It will be great when we have fully automatic ship rudders and robotic arms.
To practice his Eye of Truth and marksmanship, Mingzhao didn't use a curling iron to electrofish, but instead used a fishing net.
Each time you scoop up one or two, you aim for the vital spot the moment the sardines fly out of the water and kill them with a single blow!
Unfortunately, this was just Mingzhao's fantasy. In reality, even if she saw the sardine's vital point, she couldn't hit it at all.
In the end, they still had to use a curling iron to electrocute him. But Mingzhao didn't give up at all, and continued to practice his marksmanship using this slow method.
Around noon, Mingzhao finally caught a sardine!
In my excitement, I realized I was a little hungry.
This morning I walked 200 nautical miles and only killed 11 sardines, without gaining any attribute points.
The chests yielded a considerable harvest, containing four silver treasure chests and four wooden treasure chests.
You will receive 3 ship upgrade cards, 5 batteries, 3 diesel fuels, 1 zinc ingot, 1 fire gem, and some common resources.
Zinc ingots are likely the material needed to upgrade a ship to level three.
The Flame Diamond, however, has an important use, as many complex machines later required diamonds of different attributes to power them.
Today's lunch consisted of stewed sardines with tomatoes, baked crab with cheese, and a bowl of rice. The fish and crab meat that had been obtained were given to Jianbing Gouzi, who then replenished the quantity of these dishes for Mingzhao.
My private message notification popped up while I was eating.
Beautiful Girl Warrior: "Boss, I received the two silica balls you requested. In total, it cost two batteries, one diesel fuel, and four rubber balls."
This is much cheaper than Mingzhao expected; it seems Sailor Moon must be a master negotiator.
[Player Invincible Tyrannosaurus Beast is gifting you: 3 Batteries, 2 Diesel Oils, 4 Rubbers, and 1 Truffle Sand Crab Pasta]
Two minutes after sending the message, Mingzhao received a reply.
Beautiful Girl Warrior: "Boss, where did you find such delicious noodles? I couldn't resist and finished them in just two bites."
Mingzhao did not answer her question.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "If I need to collect anything in the future, I'll still give it to you. There will be great benefits."
Sailor Moon: "Bags, bags!"
Mingzhao placed the materials into the crafting table, which showed that it would take two hours to complete.
This is the perfect time to take a nap.
Just as I reached the bedroom, a shell was suddenly thrown from afar and exploded on my protective mask.
Looks like I won't be able to take a nap, but...
Mingzhao, however, felt somewhat excited, as it would be a good opportunity to try out his newly acquired gun and zipline!
