After mining all the metal ore in the area, Li Changge counted them and found that he had obtained a total of eight pieces of metal ore.
The harvest was neither too much nor too little, but Li Changge was satisfied with it.
He continued swimming forward, searching along the sea wall. During this time, he encountered some fish species he had never seen before. Li Changge caught them and prepared to sell them to other survivors.
【Seaweed x10】
【Starfish x 8】
[Metal Ore x6]
Li Changge is like a scavenger on the seabed, constantly harvesting resources.
Not only that, he also grabbed a handful of sand from the seabed.
They euphemistically called it: repairing the holes in the deck.
Have some decency.
...
After wandering around for a long time, Li Changge was finally satisfied. He obtained 10 seaweed, 20 metal ores, three handfuls of sea sand, and some other unidentified fish.
Overall, the trip was alright.
After all, this is just the seabed in shallow waters, and it's already enough to collect this many resources.
Li Changge swam back, swinging his legs, following the route he had come from.
Five minutes later...
Splash!
A violent ripple exploded from the sea surface, and Li Changge's head burst out of the water, taking a breath of fresh air.
"Phew, finally out."
Although Li Changge can breathe underwater, he is still human at heart and is always somewhat unaccustomed to being in the water.
If Li Changge, who possesses an affinity for water, is in such a state, then the other survivors are even more likely to be affected.
They only have two ways to gather resources.
The first option is to collect resource barrels floating on the sea surface, and the second is to find a resource-rich island and harvest it extensively.
The first method of resource gathering is too slow, and the second method is too dangerous; one wrong move and you could die a horrible death.
Of course, there is a third option.
Like Chen Gui, one can become a notorious pirate, increasing their strength by constantly robbing other survivors.
However, very few people choose this third option. Firstly, the ocean is too vast, making it difficult to encounter other survivors. Secondly, it's because they are too weak.
They didn't want to rob others only to end up dying themselves.
In that case, he'd definitely be on the front page of the chat channel, becoming the talk of the town as someone who overestimates himself.
That's really a disaster.
Of course, everyone has their own choices.
If you don't choose, you'll only die.
Li Changge quickly swam to the small boat not far away, climbed onto the deck, and gasped for breath.
"Hey."
Upon seeing its master in such a state, Liekai was greatly alarmed and rushed over.
"I'm fine."
Li Changge waved his hand.
He placed all the items he had brought on the deck in front of him, making sure nothing was missing.
Li Changge said in a deep voice.
"Fishing".
[Daily Fishing Success]
[Obtained through fishing: Crafting blueprint: Perfect-grade sea cannon]
Sea cannons!
Li Changge excitedly opened his eyes.
This isn't a matter of grade, it's a matter of nature.
In Li Changge's memory, the "sea cannon" was the kind of mortar mounted on a ship, much like the cannons on ships in One Piece.
I don't need to elaborate on the function of artillery shells, do I?
Even if Chen Gui were to be resurrected and come looking for trouble for Li Changge in his sailboat, he wouldn't need to waste any more breath on Chen Gui.
Just fire three shots and kill him.
Sea cannons are such rare items, almost one in ten thousand on the ocean. Li Changge firmly believed that as long as he could manufacture sea cannons...
He will sweep across the seas, invincible.
But when he saw the materials needed to manufacture it, his face turned ashen.
"Damn it, are you kidding me?"
"We're better off without this sea cannon."
Li Changge slammed the blueprints to the ground and turned away without a second thought.
[Perfect-grade sea cannon main materials: Wood 0/500, Metal Plate 0/800, Obsidian 0/10]
Materials for 10 Perfect-Grade Sea Cannon Shells: Aquamarine Ore 0/20, Obsidian 0/30, Saltpeter 0/10
Apart from the first two types, Li Changge had never even heard of the others. How was he supposed to find them?
No, he had heard of saltpeter.
After all, it was one of the main ingredients in gunpowder.
In fact, this was the first time Li Changge had ever seen an item whose manufacturing materials were so complicated.
The difficulty was far beyond Li Changge's imagination.
"Hey."
It tore open its mouth, picked up the blueprint, and tried to swallow it.
Since the owner threw it away, the cracking implies that Li Changge has given up on this blueprint.
"Damn, you're going to eat a piece of paper?"
Li Changge and Yu Guangzhong spotted the crack that was about to devour the blueprints, and with great difficulty, they rushed over to rescue them.
"If you eat anything else you want, do you believe I'll stew you?"
Li Changge said viciously, and with a backhand, he delivered two sharp blows to the split head, causing the latter to howl in pain.
"Hey."
A crack indicates that one is very aggrieved.
"Sigh, although this sea cannon is troublesome to manufacture, its power is really fierce. One shot can take down a kid, it shouldn't be a problem."
Thinking of the destructive power that naval artillery could inflict, Li Changge became excited again.
"Maybe I can fleece the other survivors."
Li Changge thought for a moment and smiled slightly.
Then, he opened the steamer and put all the cleaned ribbonfish inside, a total of twenty portions.
Ten minutes later,
bite!
With a crisp sound, Li Changge's face lit up with surprise, and his nose twitched.
"It was worth the ten minutes I waited."
Li Changge opened the cover to take a look, then quickly closed it again and strode to the control room.
When he opened the trading channel, he was completely dumbfounded.
His backend was overflowing with messages, more than a thousand in total.
Li Changge glanced through the information casually and immediately understood its purpose.
They all wanted those twenty free spots.
Li Changge thought for a moment, then went online.
[The shop has prepared twenty free meals, which I will give to the first twenty survivors.]
The survivors were initially excited to see Li Changge online, but these words extinguished the light in the eyes of 99.9% of them.
"Boss, that's no fun at all. Twenty spots are too few; there aren't enough to go around."
"Yes, yes, boss, if you're going to do charity work, you should at least give two hundred slots."
"Sigh, I just want a free grilled fish, is that too much to ask? But I'm over ten thousandth in line."
"Heh, this guy is just deliberately spreading rumors to make everyone envious and jealous of him. He never intended to give it away for free."
"Trashy boss, I've finally seen through you."
Upon hearing that there were no more spots available, the survivors who couldn't get any became furious and launched a vicious attack on Li Changge.
Li Changge's face darkened, and he chuckled.
"As expected, you can never truly tame an ingrate."
Li Changge was just a survivor; releasing twenty slots was already his limit. Any more and he'd be left with nothing but his underwear.
But these ingrates actually smeared him like this.
Uncle can tolerate it, but Grandma can't!
