Chapter 16 The Storm, Deep-Sea Species Appear
While 1000 units of food per day might be an astronomical figure for other survivors, for Ye Fan, it was merely the catch produced by the fishermen on his boat in an hour.
He could boast that he could easily support Jia Na.
Even if you eat a lot of food every day, you still need to think about how to have food that can be stored for a long time, which means whether you have the ability to withstand risks.
If you don't even have a little bit of food on hand, you're likely to run into trouble if anything happens.
"Jiana, you can eat any of the fish on the deck."
"If you'd like cooked food, I can help you start a fire."
Ye Fan reassured Jia Na, indicating that the fish on the deck were all edible, and that he could grill some if she wanted cooked food.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiana, who was clinging to his back, happily swam onto the deck and began to eat the sea fish. It must be said that Jiana ate very quickly, swallowing seven or eight sea fish in a short period of time.
"By the way, I think I got the blueprints for a fish oil extractor before. If I build it, I can extract fish oil from the extra fish every day."
After solving Jia Na's food problem, Ye Fan suddenly remembered a building blueprint he had obtained before: a fish oil refining machine. If he could make it, his current problem would be solved.
Immediately, Ye Fan brought in the materials needed to make the fish oil refining machine.
[Fish Oil Refining Machine: 50 Iron Blocks, 5 Energy Stones, 5 Glass, 10 Rubber]
...
After glancing at the materials needed for construction, Ye Fan felt much more at ease. He still had plenty of energy stones, and he could find the other materials at the trading post.
The fish oil extraction machine will be ready soon.
Just as Ye Fan had listed several hundred units of fish meat on the trading house as usual, and marked the materials he needed.
A message suddenly appeared on the entire 44401 area channel.
Today's weather
[A storm is approaching, bringing extreme weather to the entire Origin Sea: a violent storm. Under these conditions, deep-sea creatures will emerge during the day!]
You need to hurry and escape the sea area affected by the torrential rain!
...
The moment the message was sent, the entire regional channel erupted in groans. They hadn't expected that a storm would break out at sea just two days after they arrived in this world!
What's even more dangerous is that heavy rain can actually bring out deep-sea species.
Although they are currently in the novice protection period and deep-sea species cannot board their ship, if their ship is destroyed by a storm and they fall into the sea, then they will be doomed.
At that time, they will lose their last refuge and be devoured by the monsters in the ocean.
"What the hell? Why does a storm have to break out when the weather was perfectly fine? Is this even meant to be a living hell?"
"Deep-sea species? That's bullshit. Do you think we're living too comfortably? So you want to torture us to death?"
"To be honest, I'm speechless. Just let it end. I simply can't imagine how my little boat can survive the storm!"
"Everyone, stop complaining now. I can see dark clouds drifting overhead. Let's get out of here quickly, or we might really drown in the deep sea!"
"What the hell is this?! It's raining in broad daylight! Is this some kind of life-or-death situation?! This is utterly hopeless!"
.....
Ye Fan naturally saw the weather forecast on the regional channel, and his emotions fluctuated for a moment.
To be honest, if his ship hadn't been blessed with immortality... he himself might have had to worry about whether it could withstand the upcoming storm.
For him, torrential rain or any other extreme weather is secondary; the main threat is the deep-sea creatures. Although they cannot board the ship on their own, it would be a different story if waves crashed onto the deck.
Although the possibility is low, it's not impossible.
To prevent this possibility, I need to prepare myself now.
"The weather is changing so fast; it's already starting to get a bit windy."
Ye Fan glanced at the dark clouds drifting in from behind the ship and immediately realized that a storm was about to break out, and that the entire Origin Sea would be hit by an unprecedented downpour.
Thunderstorms cannot be ruled out!
As a modern person, Ye Fan had never personally experienced the violence of nature and did not have any specific expectations, but he always felt that it would be quite dangerous.
He needs to take action!
"To safely weather this storm, simply relying on the Fisherman to withstand it is definitely not enough; we must think of other methods."
After careful consideration, Ye Fan realized that the best solution was to speed up the Fisherman's ship, making it faster than Operation Dark Cloud, and leave the storm's area of influence ahead of time!
Currently, his Fisherman is traveling at 90 knots, which sounds fast, but in reality, it's not enough to shake off the dark clouds.
If you want to increase the speed of the fishermen's boats, the only option is to upgrade them again!
Once the Fisherman is upgraded to Superb Level 3, both its speed and capacity will be improved!
"Take a look at the materials needed to upgrade the Fisherman to Extraordinary Level 3."
Ye Fan retrieved the materials needed to upgrade the Fisherman's Ship, and an information panel immediately popped up in front of him.
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 Superior Level 3 Sea Monster Skeleton, 100 Ghost Shark Bones, 200 Iron Blocks, 30 Energy Stones]
...
After glancing at the materials needed for the upgrade, Ye Fan was immediately stumped. He could obtain all of these materials except for the extraordinary level 3 sea monster skeleton, but the difficulty lay in obtaining the sea monster skeleton!
The required quality level is actually Level 3 Extraordinary!
To put this into perspective, just looking at the current combat strength of our ship, if we encountered a level three extraordinary sea monster, we would definitely be wiped out.
As things stand, obtaining its skeleton through combat is practically impossible at the moment; we can only hope to discover it through future means.
"Seven or eight ghost sharks, if we break them all down... we should be able to get 100 units of ghost shark bones."
"Then there are 30 energy stones. I currently have 17, and I only need 13 more to complete the set."
"As for iron blocks, they can be obtained at any time."
Ye Fan looked at the materials he currently had, thought for a moment, and decided to trade the iron blocks on the trading post first. The reason for doing this was to avoid other survivors being unable to trade items in order to deal with emergencies after the heavy rain.
At this stage, everyone should be frantically trading items, so take advantage of this market trend to exchange for the things you need.
With that in mind, Ye Fan put another 200 units of fish meat on the market, specifically to exchange for iron blocks.
Not long after he put it up for sale, he suddenly heard a muffled rumble of thunder from behind, and the rain brewing in the dark clouds overhead began to fall... In an instant, the group of people who usually moved the slowest in the regional channel had already encountered the rain.
