Chapter 41 Ocean Survival 4
Chapter 41
Lin Xia looked at her existing ability cards: [Space Awakening Card], [Earth Awakening Card], and [Fire Awakening Card].
“Normally I couldn’t, but because of your identities, I’m willing to provide one. Choose one: earth or fire.” Lin Xia subconsciously didn’t want people who didn’t understand her to awaken special abilities, so she decided to follow her heart and ignore the space element.
After waiting a while, Xie Cheng replied, "Thank you, Seventh Sister. We choose the fire element."
"How much space do you have now?" Lin Xia suddenly asked after the transaction.
Xie Cheng typed very quickly: "3m3, is something wrong, Seventh Sister?"
"It's okay." Lin Xia doesn't really like overly selfless people; it puts a lot of pressure on her. If he were truly that selfless, she thinks their relationship would just be a transaction.
She has always admitted that she is a selfish person and has no intention of changing.
Lin Xia pondered for a while. Their information was very important. The fish had mutated, and they didn't know what the process and extent would be. The ship's equipment still needed to be upgraded, mainly by replacing all the steel with alloy steel.
It's good to be prepared for the future. Although they will likely announce the news sooner, knowing it earlier gives you an advantage.
Lin Xia exchanged 300 boxes of salt, each box containing 20 bags, for a total of 6,000 bags. Each bag could be exchanged for 1 piece of alloy steel, 3 pieces of glass, 3 pieces of high-grade wood, and 4 pieces of rubber. All of them were put on the shelves, and the remaining materials from last time were also listed as alloy steel.
3600 for high-grade wood, 800 for rubber, and 1200 for glass. Stop replacing them once you've done that. Replace the rest with alloy steel.
Salt is always a hard currency; 6,000 bags are not much in the whole world.
Weather forecast for the third day: Light to moderate rain, 5-10℃, northwest wind at level 4.
Everyone was busy collecting items to keep warm, and suddenly the price of all things to keep warm soared. Basic materials also went up in price, because some people didn't even have a small wooden house.
Many people are urging Lin Sanqi, the shop owner, to sell clothes, but she really can't afford to. The clothes she has backups for cost 1 survival point per set or even just one piece.
People are now used to checking the weather forecast on Sanqi Shop every morning and seeing if there are any free instant noodles. Many people still leave messages, many people complete transactions with each other, and many people still beg in the comments.
Weather forecast for day four: light to moderate rain, 3-9℃, northwest wind at level 4.
Xie Cheng: "Seventh Sister, would you buy the [Farm Robot]?"
"Okay, what do you want to exchange it for?"
"Can I exchange it for a special ability card?"
"cannot."
"How many elemental cards can you exchange for?"
"3 sheets."
"How about changing it to wind, thunder, or ice?"
Lin Xia directly exchanged the money.
Backup successful: Farm robot *1 backup, survival points required: 300
[Farm Robot: A robot capable of caring for all crops and farm animals; not usable in combat.]
As expected, with a larger base, there were more fish to catch. When we arrived at the Flying Bridge area, we directly selected to use it, set it up the same as Lin, named it Lin Er, and assigned it to be in charge of planting space.
"Seventh Sister, are there any similar plots of land suitable for planting?"
"No."
"If you do get pregnant, we hope Seventh Sister will give us priority consideration."
"good."
Weather forecast for day 5: Cloudy, 0-10℃, northwest wind at level 3.
The weather was nice today; the rain had stopped and the wind wasn't strong. Lin Xia decided to go for a walk in the water. She carried the [Sea Chart] with her, marked the location of the yacht, put the diving beads in her waist pouch, exchanged them for a diving suit, and jumped into the water with a splash.
As soon as she jumped down, she instinctively began to paddle and dive, but the extremely fast speed made her feel a little uncomfortable. After stopping, she slowly realized that she now felt like a fish in water.
She moves her legs with just a gentle sway, like a fish. If you look closely, you can see that the water seems to be 10 centimeters away from her, without affecting her breathing at all.
She made her way down smoothly, turned on her headlamp, and found that the underwater ecosystem was indeed as Xie Cheng had said. She didn't see any human buildings, the water was clear, and various fish were swimming around, but based on the types of fish she recognized, she couldn't see much change.
The deeper she went, the calmer the sea became. When she touched the seabed, Lin Xia couldn't help but exclaim how beautiful it was. She walked freely on the seabed, and it was impossible to tell whether this place was originally the sea or a human city.
During this period, she drifted along with the tide, and to be honest, she had no idea where she was going and had no direction at all.
Along the way, she caught seafood—crabs, various shellfish, sea cucumbers—and her mouth was watering. After eating so many fish, even with Lin Yi's excellent cooking skills, she was tired of it.
The small fish swimming around her suddenly all swam away quickly. Lin Xia threw the crab in her hand into her spatial storage, and a long knife appeared in her hand.
She spread her mental energy out and found that the feeling was completely different in the water and on land. Her mental energy felt sluggish, which made her feel dizzy.
Just then, a tentacle shot straight at him. Lin Xia moved his longsword, feeling that it was a little slower than before, but he still managed to sever the tentacle.
"Another octopus," Lin Xia frowned. It reminded her of the one in the zombie world, a truly awful experience.
Even a small octopus looks like a monster, let alone a zombie-like unicorn octopus.
Having seen that monster from the zombie world, the octopus in front of me actually seemed quite handsome, like a normal little monster.
Instead of retreating, Lin Xia advanced, intending to finish the battle quickly. Tentacles lashed out at her, but just as they were about to reach her, she swiftly swung her throwing knife and cut them all off.
The octopus, in pain, suddenly spurted out a stream of ink and fled. Lin Xia pushed off with her feet, moving away from the ink. She didn't intend to chase after it; time was limited, and she just wanted to check the situation on the seabed.
Continuing on, nothing else changed, except that some of the fish did indeed become more aggressive. With time running out, Lin Xia stopped and returned to the yacht.
With the nautical chart, she easily found her yacht. She was a little disappointed, thinking there might be some other changes, but this was just the beginning, and she would observe further.
He threw all the seafood to Lin Yi and told him to quickly prepare a seafood feast. The seafood died as soon as it was thrown into the space, but it was only for less than half an hour, so it didn't matter.
I went to take a shower and change my clothes first. When I came out, there were already several dishes of seafood on the table.
Steamed, braised, and spicy dishes, served with a bowl of rice, made Lin Xia feel completely satisfied. If there were no other dangers in this ocean world, it would be quite nice as it is now. Coming out of the survival game, at least it's a warm haven.
I'm afraid things won't be that simple. If she's having such a hard time, I really don't know what others should do. We can only take it one step at a time.
Weather forecast for day six: light rain, -3 to 5℃, northwest wind at level 4.
With the temperature dropping below zero, the chat area was filled with people asking for warm clothing. Lin Xia also exchanged for a set of warm clothes and a thick wool quilt, 2 meters by 2.3 meters. She liked the heavier and larger quilt to press against her body and wrap her up, making her feel warmer and safer.
Leaning back in the corner of the sofa, Lin Xia didn't look at the chat area, but just stared blankly at the drizzling rain outside, her body swaying gently.
Many days have passed, but she still doesn't feel used to it; she still prefers the feeling of being grounded.
