Chapter 8: A Review of the Harvest, Delicious Sea Fish
After silently memorizing the materials needed for the crafting process, Ye Fan began to tally up the rewards he had just received for successfully upgrading the Fisherman's Ship to the Extraordinary Level 2.
"Seawater desalination equipment, fish oil refining machine blueprints, relic-grade waterproof fish skin suit, 20 x 600ml mineral water bottles, 1 x relic-grade pirate captain's revolver."
...
Among all the rewards, the most eye-catching is the seawater desalination device. It looks like a large distillation machine, with the same height as Ye Fan himself. The top is funnel-shaped for seawater to be poured in, and the bottom is a collection container where the filtered water will be collected.
Ye Fan was very much looking forward to this device, since it was currently his stable source of purified water. With it, he wouldn't have to worry about water resources anymore.
As Ye Fan stepped forward, relevant information immediately popped up in front of him.
Seawater purification equipment
[Description: Can produce 2000ml of purified water per day]
[After installation, it will occupy 50 units of the ship's capacity.]
......
"It's impressive that it can produce 2000ml of purified water every day."
"Enough for two or three people to drink."
Ye Fan was quite pleased to see that the seawater purification device could produce 2000ml of pure water every day. Currently, besides himself, there were also Wang Da and Wang Er on the fisherman's boat.
All three of them need to drink water.
Now that we have a seawater purifier, we won't need to actively search for water sources anymore.
After seeing the device, Ye Fan placed it next to the captain's cabin, and then looked at the other rewards.
"I learned the blueprints for the fish oil refining machine directly."
"Then there are two relic-level pieces of equipment: a waterproof fish skin suit and a pirate captain's revolver."
A flash of white light appeared in Ye Fan's mind, along with a detailed process for making a fish oil refining machine. He then pulled out his waterproof fish skin jacket and the pirate captain's revolver.
The waterproof fish skin jacket looks and feels like it's made from the transparent skin of some kind of sea fish, while the pirate captain's revolver has been soaked in seawater for a long time, and some parts are rusted.
Waterproof fish skin jacket
[Level: Relic]
[Skill: Waterproof fish skin (repels moisture. Wearing it might turn you from a landlubber into a swimming champion?)]
.....
The Pirate Captain's Revolver
[Level: Relic]
[Skill: Mischievousness (It's a lighter that can be lit even underwater; can you imagine it's shaped like a gun?)]
After reading the descriptions of the two weapons that popped up in front of him, Ye Fan immediately understood their uses. A strange look flashed in his eyes. Good heavens... this revolver that looks like a gun is actually a lighter?
That's really quite a twisted sense of humor, but thankfully the skill works well. Even if it gets wet, it can be started immediately.
"The sea breeze is so pleasant."
Ye Fan walked out of the captain's cabin and first watched Wang Da and Wang Er fishing hard on the deck. Then he felt the sea breeze and felt quite comfortable. Speaking of which, the Fisherman's Ship had a larger capacity after the upgrade.
He walked on the deck and felt that it was incredibly spacious; it could accommodate quite a lot of things.
After observing the Fisherman's Boat, Ye Fan felt that something should be added to the ship, such as a crew rest room, which could serve as a place for Wang Da and Wang Er to sleep at night.
Otherwise, they'd be too old to stay on the deck, and they'd be worried the other person would catch a cold from the wind.
Although it's unclear what their physical abilities are like as superhumans, at least some basic decency should be given. After all, they're working for us, so how can we not even provide them with a place to live?
"After Wang Da and Wang Er catch three hundred units of fish meat, we'll go to the trading house to see if there's anything we can use."
"Now is a good time to rest and have a bite to eat."
After silently putting the construction of the crew rest area on his agenda, Ye Fan turned around and got some wood. After placing it on the stones, he used his revolver to light the wood, thus creating a simple stone fire. The air within five meters around him instantly became warm and dry.
He casually butchered the sea fish he had caught and then placed the fish meat on a rock to roast. Although he didn't add any spices, the aroma was just as strong.
Looking at the sizzling, oily fish, Ye Fan felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Good heavens, this was truly the first time he had ever eaten such fresh, original grilled fish.
In less than three minutes, the prepared fish meat was roasted to a golden brown and crispy, and it looked very good.
Ye Fan grabbed a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth. The crispy fish skin wrapped around the succulent fish meat immediately ignited his taste buds, and his hunger was instantly soothed. This feeling was so satisfying.
Ye Fan then ate the next few pieces of fish, looking quite pleased with himself.
"It's been about three hours since we arrived in this world. I wonder how the others are doing."
After finishing the seafood, Ye Fan opened a bottle of mineral water and simultaneously opened the chat interface of the regional channel. At this time, the number of survivors in the upper right corner was decreasing, from the original 95741/100000.
It became 88746/10000.
In a very short time, thousands more people died!
Such data is chilling; these are human lives at stake. The reality seems even worse than Ye Fan had imagined.
"I'm so hungry and thirsty. Can anyone bring me something to eat? I might not be able to hold on any longer."
"I was so thirsty, I was so thirsty that I drank some of my own urine. You know what, although it tasted a bit astringent, it... relieved my dry mouth a little."
"I went out to sea to scavenge a barrel, but when I came back, I found my fishing rod had fallen into the sea... This is terrible."
"It's getting dark! I live by the sea, and this kind of weather means night is approaching. If you don't want to go to bed hungry, hurry up and find something to eat!"
"What? It's getting dark? Are you kidding me? Where am I supposed to find something to eat now?!"
"Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit cold. Is it really going to get dark?"
......
Someone in the channel said it was getting dark, and the survivors in the channel immediately panicked. Most of them were having trouble getting food and water, and now it was almost dark?
After dark, visibility at sea decreases and temperatures drop!
The difficulty of survival will increase dramatically at that time. If we don't start looking for supplies now, we may not survive tonight.
