Chen Ping looked at the golden apple in his hand with satisfaction. He didn't plan to eat it right now, since he wasn't hungry yet, so he would save it for later.
After putting the golden apple into his spatial backpack, Chen Ping checked the wooden planks that had been dismantled from the treasure chest, but unfortunately, they couldn't be strengthened.
I dump it!
The fishing float was flung away; yes, Chen Ping had started fishing for treasure chests again.
After waiting for half an hour, the fishing float finally started to move.
Watching the fishing float bob up and down, Chen Ping waited patiently.
Soon, the fishing float sank completely into the sea. Just then, Chen Ping pulled hard.
Whoosh!
Another treasure chest landed steadily on the raft.
Chen Ping looked over and saw that, like the previous treasure chests, they were all wooden. He wasn't in a hurry to open them, but instead cast the fishing float back into the sea.
This time, the float started to bob quickly, and as Chen Ping watched it bob up and down, his heart followed suit.
Fortunately, the fishing float sank into the sea quickly, and with a pull, another treasure chest fell onto the raft.
Just as Chen Ping was about to continue opening treasure chests, he glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and noticed something different about them this time.
Chen Ping looked over in confusion, and sure enough, this time the treasure chest had an extra padlock.
[The Locked Wooden Treasure Chest]
Chen Ping tried and found that he couldn't open it. The lock was made of wood, but it was very hard and couldn't be moved at all.
"As expected, it seems that this treasure chest cannot be opened without the key."
Chen Ping said helplessly.
Since he couldn't open it, Chen Ping decided to leave it for now and cast his fishing float to continue fishing for the treasure chest.
Hmm, Chen Ping has already discovered a pattern. As long as the fishing float sinks completely into the sea, a pull will bring the treasure chest up.
"I wonder what the reaction would be if we caught a sea monster?"
Looking at the fishing float, Chen Ping muttered to himself.
The fishing float drifted calmly on the surface of the sea without making a sound. Sometimes, out of boredom, Chen Ping would look around at the sea to see if he could find anything, but unfortunately, all he saw was seawater.
I wanted to open the chat channel, but I was afraid of missing the movement of the fishing float, so in the end, I could only keep an eye on the fishing float.
He stared at it for more than half an hour before the float started to move, and then Chen Ping successfully caught another treasure chest.
Chen Ping had already caught four treasure chests and had six fishing attempts left. He decided to stop fishing after catching one more chest and open them all first.
There's no way around it; it's just so boring here, fishing for treasure chests is the only fun.
As the fishing float began to bob, Chen Ping also started to stare at it nervously, because he noticed that there seemed to be some shadow moving around in the sea below the float, circling around it.
This made Chen Ping quite uneasy. He had just thought of a sea monster, and now a sea monster had actually appeared?
Chen Ping didn't dare to breathe, nervously watching the shadows in the sea, ignoring even the fact that the fishing float had completely sunk to the bottom.
Finally, after circling the fishing float for more than an hour, the shadow, perhaps finding nothing, left.
The shadow swam directly toward Chen Ping's raft.
Chen Ping was extremely nervous, fearing that the raft would capsize.
If you look down from above, you'll see that the shadow in the sea is about the same size as the raft, but that's just a shadow. You can imagine that its real size must be much larger than the raft.
Watching the shadow pass under the raft and disappear into the distance, Chen Ping waited a few more minutes before letting out a heavy sigh of relief and sitting down.
"Phew~~"
"Isn't it supposed to be a newbie protection period? How come there are sea monsters appearing? And such a large shadow doesn't look like a small monster at all!"
Chen Ping opened the system instructions again and examined them carefully.
"Your area is relatively safe? Relatively?! No wonder."
Chen Ping shook his head, then stood up and looked at the fishing float that had been submerged in the sea for quite some time. He had given up hope of catching a treasure chest this time.
After all, this might have triggered a sea monster event, but if you don't raise your rod, the sea monster will leave, at least that's how it seems for now.
Chen Ping gently lifted it, and exclaimed, "Hmm? Oh!"
So heavy!
Chen Ping instantly pulled the rod upwards with both hands. The thing was just heavy, but there was no sense of struggle, so it shouldn't be a living creature.
He pulled for a full ten minutes, because he wasn't sure whether stopping would cause the water to continue sinking or remain in the same position, so Chen Ping had no choice but to pull it up in one go.
Whoosh!
After a few more minutes of pulling, Chen Ping finally pulled him up.
bump!
An unknown object landed steadily on the raft.
Chen Ping looked over and saw a huge seashell mixed in with the three treasure chests.
It seems that this seashell is what he just caught.
[Deep-sea storage shells: These are shellfish that exist only in the deep sea. They have their own internal space, and the shells they leave behind after death are commonly used as storage containers by many creatures.]
Chen Ping's face lit up instantly. He thought he wouldn't get anything this time, but he didn't expect to receive such a big surprise.
Chen Ping put away his fishing rod. He planned to open the two treasure chests and the seashell to see what good things he could get. As for the locked treasure chest, he would have to leave it for now.
There are currently two wooden treasure chests and one storage shell.
Chen Ping placed the storage shells in the middle and the two treasure chests on either side. He planned to open the treasure chests first and then open the storage shells last.
[Open the treasure chest to obtain 500ml mineral water*1, skinning knife*1, and plank*2]
[Open the treasure chest to obtain 1 strawberry cake (500g) and 2 wooden planks]
Looking at the two treasure chests that had disappeared, Chen Ping opened his spatial backpack and looked inside. He then regretfully discovered that neither the mineral water nor the cake had any enhancement marks.
【Name: Peeling Knife】
【Category: Weapons】
【Quality: White】
[Effect: Agility +1]
[Can be upgraded twice]
"It can be enhanced twice? Not bad, not bad. Once the storage shell is opened, I can start enhancing it."
Looking at the seashell in front of him, Chen Ping opened it directly, and to his surprise, he found a page that looked exactly like the page in his spatial backpack.
"It seems this seashell can be used as a cabinet or something?" Chen Ping thought with delight.
There are 10 squares on the page, six of which are already occupied, leaving four empty.
Chen Ping tried putting a wooden board inside and then taking it out. It went smoothly, just like with a space backpack.
"Great, let's see what good stuff we have."
There are six items. Three of them seem to be blueprints or similar items. The remaining three items are: one looks like a spear, one looks like clothing, and the other is a black pearl.
They all looked like good stuff, so Chen Ping began to examine them one by one.
