With the ability to hold her breath for eight minutes, Ye Zi thoroughly examined the outside of the entire sunken ship.
It is certain that this is a fishing boat from the last few decades. The reason for the sinking was a hole in the bottom of the boat, a hole large enough for an adult woman to enter and exit.
However, the hole appears to have been made from inside the ship's cabin.
I swam over and took a look. According to the system notification, there were several corpses and some boxes of different sizes inside.
Only because Ye Zi's body had been tempered by the Thousand-Jun Pill, which greatly improved her eyesight, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to see what was inside.
After estimating the amount of air in his lungs, he felt it wasn't enough to support his exploration of the shipwreck. Ye Zi pushed off the boat with both feet, and his body quickly rose to the surface.
After surfacing, Ye Zi asked while adjusting her breathing:
"System, what's in those boxes in the ship's hold?"
"There is a wisp of spiritual energy."
Ye Zi's face darkened upon hearing this. It turned out that the current system was ignoring everything except that lump of spiritual energy.
I decided not to ask anymore. I'm going to get that lump of spiritual energy anyway, so I'll just take a look when I get there.
Adjust your breathing, take a deep breath, and descend again.
This time, we went directly through the hatch and into the cabin.
Following the system's instructions, I headed straight for the location of that mass of spiritual energy.
What came into view was a suitcase the size of a regular suitcase. Without saying a word, Ye Zi twisted the lock on it and opened the suitcase.
The contents inside astonished him, for the box was filled with antiques, specifically Chinese porcelain antiques.
They are called antiques because no one would lock ordinary porcelain in a box, right?
Moreover, for a fishing boat, especially an ocean-going fishing boat, wooden and iron plates and bowls are obviously more durable than porcelain plates and bowls.
"That's it, that's it, that little box!" the system's excited voice rang out again.
Ye Zi's gaze swept past the porcelain pieces and landed on the only wooden box.
Twist the small lock on top, open the box, and you'll find a set of jade jewelry: a hairpin, a pair of earrings, and a thumb ring.
"Yes, yes, these are them!" the system excitedly continued to shout.
Will opening the storage space damage them?
Ye Zi had his own reasons for asking the question. He really wanted to activate the storage space, but since he was currently on an island, activating it wasn't necessary, because even if he did, there wasn't anything he needed to put in it.
These three items are antiques after all. If we damage these antiques by opening up storage space, which is currently of little use, it would be a bit of a loss.
"No, we only need the spiritual energy they come with; we won't destroy them," the system replied immediately.
Ye Zi nodded secretly, and then said:
"Then let's activate the storage space."
After Ye Zi finished speaking, she reached out and pressed down on the three pieces of jewelry.
"Okay, host."
"Absorbing spiritual energy... Absorption complete."
Storage space is being activated...
Activation complete...
The storage function is activated, but the space cannot hold living things. Time is frozen, and the size is fifty cubic meters.
Subsequent use is controlled by the host's thoughts.
The activation of the storage space excited Ye Zi, but she was a little stunned after hearing the second half of the system's words, and then asked:
"Fifty cubic meters?"
"Yes, host."
What stunned Ye Zi was not the size of the space, but the unit of measurement.
Previously, the system used a lump to calculate spiritual energy, but now it uses cubic meters as a unit to calculate the size of space.
"Cubic meter? You know that unit of measurement too?"
"Of course, our original destination was a world of high martial arts, not a fantasy world, so of course I understand this unit."
Ye Zi raised an eyebrow; he had always treated the system like an antique, which was a misconception of his. He then asked:
"Alright, what did you get in return?"
"After opening the storage space, there is still 30% of this spiritual energy remaining, which I have stored away and can use in other places at any time."
Leaf covered the jewelry box and put it into her spatial storage. She had to admit, it felt really great.
"Other places? For example?"
"Didn't the host want to make weapons? With the remaining spiritual energy, we can start working at any time."
That's it?
"That's all, and there's not enough of anything else."
Ye Zi curled her lip after hearing this. She thought there would be some new feature, but it turned out to be just the function of crafting weapons.
Besides the jewelry box, I didn't forget the porcelain leaves underneath. These were all Chinese antiques, and since I'd encountered them, there was no reason to let them continue to soak in the sea. So I put them all into my spatial storage.
Seemingly aware of Ye Zi's thoughts, the system said arrogantly:
"Host, you need to understand what it means to be content with what you have. If you can find more spiritual energy, you can have other functions too, but right now, with this little bit of spiritual energy, you can't do anything except for refining weapons."
But don't underestimate this little bit of spiritual energy; it can save your life in a pinch.
Ye Zi paused for a moment after twisting the other box, then asked as she opened it:
"Can it save lives? Tell me in detail so I can understand."
"Okay, to put it simply, you are currently in this world. As long as the injury is not fatal, I can use this little bit of spiritual energy to keep you alive or heal your injuries."
"If you're not dead, you can save me, or let me live a little longer until someone else saves me, is that what you mean?"
"Yes, host."
Ye Zi nodded. This was like a trump card to save her life. It wouldn't be enough to give her an extra life, but it would greatly increase her chances of surviving a serious injury.
Considering my current lifestyle, the probability of this happening is not high, so I asked:
"Can I save others?"
"Yes, but the host needs to touch the other party's wound, just like the time with the golden eagle."
Ye Zi immediately understood that healing with spiritual energy and healing with the power of blood and qi were basically the same.
After ending her chat with the system, Ye Zi finally understood why the fishing boat sank: a bomb.
Inside the box that was just opened by twisting the lock, there was a box of hand grenades.
Various guesses immediately popped into Ye Zi's mind. It was a fishing boat, but its main business was probably smuggling weapons. Some of the weapons on board were sold, but the people on board were in turmoil because of disagreements over the distribution of the spoils.
Two idiots used grenades, which blew a hole in the hull, causing seawater to flood in and the ship to sink.
I don't know if anyone escaped, or if someone did escape and ended up on the island where he and Reba are now trying to survive, but there's no fresh water and they had to leave.
However, this scenario is unlikely to be true, because if someone escapes, they would likely return to retrieve their belongings.
Furthermore, he didn't find any bodies on the road. If the production team had found any, they probably wouldn't have set this place as a survival location.
However, regardless of the circumstances, he discovered the shipwreck, so the contents naturally belong to him, without a doubt.
Without time to think, Yezi quickly opened the box and continued her search.
