Chapter 120 Environmental Protection Unit (Second Update)
Yu Wang had no idea what kind of psychological shock Wei Songtao had just experienced; he only saw that the other party's attitude changed from hesitation to determination in a short period of time.
"Never mind, let's send over the trash—cough, let's send over the 'potential stocks' first."
He did not delve into the reasons for the other party's change of mind; his immediate priority was dealing with the mountain of "legacy" in the 522 district.
If you throw a useless junk item into the "Golden Dice", you'll naturally get nothing but junk.
But if you throw in hundreds or thousands of junk items at once, the quantity will lead to a qualitative change, and you'll surely get at least one usable item, right?
Even if it's just a low-tier white-quality practical item, you're guaranteed to make a profit.
As for whether Wei Songtao will switch or withhold materials during the contract manufacturing process—
Yu Wang was not entirely unprepared. He tried to have Zhang Xinlan use the "Ghost Pirate" skill to locate Wei Songtao, preparing to teleport there if necessary to be on the scene in person.
However, the teleportation fee reported by the skill made his eyelids twitch. A single teleportation cost 4 pearl coins!
Then look at the little over 12 yuan in my account —
"I really can't bear to part with it." He smiled helplessly. If he could just survive, that would be a victory. He hoped to encounter the "Golden Dice" tomorrow. There might be a Deep One raid tonight. If he could pull through, he could earn a lot of pearl coins.
But for now, let's trust this captain with a good reputation.
However, if the deductions are really excessive, he wouldn't mind sending himself there to demand an explanation.
Without further hesitation, Yu Wang began to carefully sort through the items he had obtained from the two "former big shots" of Division 522, and packed up the salvaged and discarded props and sent them to Wei Songtao.
The deal is done; all that's left is to wait.
After breakfast, Zhang Xinlan, as usual, went to the deck of the "Ghost Pirate" to have her daily digestive sparring session with her training partner, Duck B.
This is her unwavering daily routine.
She had had that +6 rapier for some time, but only recently had she truly mastered its swordplay, her movements becoming more disciplined and methodical.
The "Rose Oath" flintlock pistol has a special "online course" that allows for mind training during sleep, but there are no shortcuts to this melee weapon that requires real hard work and sweat.
Through Yu Wang's introduction, Zhang Xinlan paid the tutoring fee and successfully joined the tutoring group formed by Kuang Sha, receiving guidance at fixed times every day.
Kuang Sha is a kind and thoughtful teacher, and overall, Zhang Xinlan's progress is clearly visible.
Now, she can independently open the "Waterlogged Bronze Resource Box" and fight against the monster guarding the box, eventually winning the battle.
Of course, Yu Wang felt that the Blood Coral Set was the main reason for this. Wearing the strongest set from the Initial Sea, even an octogenarian could stand and fight monsters.
Therefore, Yu Wang entrusted all seven water-soaked bronze treasure chests he had just exchanged to Zhang Xinlan for safekeeping.
He then set the Little Yellow Duck's autopilot to travel at a constant speed in a northeast-east direction.
At the speed of the Class 3 Little Yellow Duck, it is estimated that it will take a week to reach the Thousand Sails Bay Shell City mentioned by the seal chief.
Fortunately, the razor mackerel were moving in a direction that was roughly northeast to slightly east.
The Little Yellow Duck can get some external help to increase its speed, and it is expected that three to five days will be enough.
As a bustling port city, "Shell City" is very likely to have an office for applying for ocean current expressway passage permits.
If this works out, everyone will be happy.
If it doesn't work out, it's just a loss of an opportunity to make a message on the world channel.
The game has changed now; even without the fast track, life isn't impossible.
Even without the convenience of ocean currents in our past lives, life still went on the same way.
Yu Wang has done his best in this regard and has almost no psychological burden.
After setting the parameters for autonomous driving, he opened the trading panel.
Due to the impact of razorback swarms, the price of basic materials in Zone 444 has skyrocketed, especially essential items for ship repair such as timber, stone, and cloth, which have tripled in price.
But Yu Wang's goals were not these.
Instead, they were preparing to replenish their stock with a batch of "treasure fish" that they had never eaten before.
These fish, which can permanently enhance attributes or have hidden abilities, have become expensive and unreliable since the saying "the world is going downhill" came out.
It's not easy to stock up on enough food for two or three days at once.
However, these precious fish only have an effect if consumed continuously for a certain number of days; otherwise, they are just like "muscle beans," only good for strengthening the body and assisting in training.
Thanks to the reputation and credibility he had built up over the years, Yu Wang did not encounter the common situation of being treated differently based on the person or having prices increased at the last minute.
After careful selection and purchasing, he finally collected all three of his target fish: the bull horn pomfret, the tiger clownfish, and the three-toothed shark.
It is worth mentioning that as the application scenarios of pearl coins increase, the trend of the trading market has quietly changed, and more and more people are beginning to prefer using pearl coins for settlement rather than bartering.
Purchasing these three types of treasure fish didn't require many basic materials, but it cost a full four hundred pearl coins.
After eating for several days in a row, I'll improve my strength again before the next group dungeon.
He mixed the three newly purchased treasure fish with the ones he already had and handed them all over to the chef duck, letting him do as he pleased.
With everything arranged, Yu Wang was temporarily free.
His body hadn't fully recovered, so high-intensity training wasn't advisable. He was planning to call Duck C along to try their luck with the newly acquired chain fishing net.
At this moment, the sea helmet worm on the top of the Little Yellow Duck suddenly hissed. Following the direction the sea helmet worm was looking, Yu Wang noticed that the density of the razor mackerel school on the sea surface in front of him had decreased significantly, and even an unnatural vacuum area had appeared.
Something must be lurking underwater.
However, the shimmering surface of the sea reflected the sunlight, making it impossible for him to see the specific situation underwater.
It's okay, we can call in reinforcements.
"Zhang Xinlan!"
Zhang Xinlan had just finished dealing with a sea bug that had jumped out of a "waterlogged treasure chest" when she heard the noise and rushed over immediately.
Without saying a word, she activated her "Eagle Eye" skill, her gaze piercing through the water's surface to look at the abnormal area.
After observing for a while, she said in a trembling voice, "It's a patch of Corpse-Eating Flowers, and there are so many of them!"
[A mild case of trypophobia strikes; your scalp tingles, but you can overcome it, and you feel incredibly awesome!]
Fortunately, we brought along the Sea Helmet Bug, which has a keen sense for the Corpse-Eating Flower, and it spotted the underwater flower cluster in advance.
Otherwise, given the large area of low-density fish, Yu Wang would hardly associate it with the Bone-Eating Flower. Instead, he would wonder if a Vamitanosaurus or other large carnivorous predators were passing by.
Beneath the surface of the sea, dense clusters of phytophagous flowers grow side by side, almost covering the entire seabed.
They are more than twice the size of ordinary carnivorous flowers! Their ferocious mouthparts and wriggling roots are intertwined, and the fish in this area have probably already been devoured by them.
After hearing Zhang Xinlan's more detailed description, a sentence flashed through Yu Wang's mind:
The bounty of humic milk mothers—plant life forms begin to differentiate and evolve.
The effects of that divine domain were so immediate, and its scope and intensity far exceeded expectations. Having spent a long time with Iristier and witnessed the casualness and grandeur of divine creation, he occasionally had the dismissive thought that "even gods are nothing special."
"Still too naive—"
Yu Wang muttered to himself, his expression grave as he gazed at the deadly sea of flowers before him.
Simply being covered by the realm of the gods can quickly give rise to such a large plant community—with a single thought from the gods, mortals can flourish or wither.
Learning from the experience, Yu Wang said, "Ride the Sea Helmet Beetle and circle around the perimeter of this flower sea to observe and calculate the range. See if you can get around it. If not, find the narrowest point in this sea of skeletal flowers and be careful to maintain a safe distance."
"Understood!" Zhang Xinlan deftly flipped onto the Sea Helmet Beetle and gripped the single-horned handle.
The sea helmet worm leaped into the sea, carrying her swiftly around the perimeter of the flower field.
However, the results of the observation were disheartening.
The area covered by the carnivorous flowers far exceeded expectations, stretching almost to the horizon and completely blocking the Little Yellow Duck's planned route. Detouring would require a significant distance and would waste a considerable amount of time.
Fortunately, this sea of flowers is arranged in strips because of a large crack in the seabed, with the narrowest part being only 500 meters wide.
After clearing half of it, the Little Yellow Duck can take the Ghost Pirate and fly over.
The Little Yellow Duck can carry other ships in the fleet, but its gliding distance is reduced depending on its weight.
The level 2 ship, which could originally fly 500 meters, is now useless. With the "Duck Can Fly" expansion module and the "Ghost Pirate" ship, it can only fly half the distance.
"It seems we have no choice but to open a path."
This is undoubtedly a very energy-consuming project, but for now, there is no other way.
Fortunately, the carnivorous flower swarm had already devoured most of the fish in the nearby waters, so diving at this point meant less risk of being slowly sliced apart by the dense swarms of razor mackerel.
With the disappearance of fish, large predators that rely on fish for food naturally rarely visit this "underwater desert."
As Zhang Xinlan was organizing the portable high-pressure oxygen cylinder, she looked up and found Yu Wang standing next to her, putting on a new type of close-fitting "fish skin soft armor".
This soft armor is made from newly acquired shark skin. Because of the different shark species, the texture and wearing feel are slightly different from the old armor that was destroyed in the Lion Ant Dynasty instance, and it is more flexible.
Looking at Yu Wang's slightly pale profile, Zhang Xinlan frowned, and an indescribable emotion welled up inside her.
She bit her lower lip and finally spoke: "Um—I'll take on the task of clearing the passage this time."
She really didn't want someone who was still unconscious yesterday to have to get up and worry about things the next day.
She even felt that Yu Wang shouldn't have climbed up and down to eat on the pirate ship this morning!
If you're sick, you should stay in bed—or on a makeshift bed on the floor—and wait for your food to be brought to your mouth!
Yu Wang was taken aback upon hearing this and turned to look at her.
The girl's face looked particularly serious, even a little sullen, in the shimmering light reflected from the sea.
He suddenly realized that the little cockroach he had carefully nurtured for so long was finally ready to stand on its own.
A complex emotion welled up inside me, a mixture of relief and a sense of pride that "my own child has grown up."
Yu Wang stopped dressing, looked at Zhang Xinlan, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips: "Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
He handed the harpoon to Zhang Xinlan and gave her a few more instructions.
When cutting plant roots and stems, besides the mouthparts of sea worms, crab claws and harpoons are the most suitable tools on a ship.
Zhang Xinlan took the weapon, nodded vigorously, checked the equipment one last time, and then steadily mounted the Sea Helmet Beetle.
"Wait for my good news!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she and the sea helmet worm dived into the water, their figures quickly blending into the deep blue.
Looking up again, Yu Wang suddenly caught a glimpse of a striking emerald green ship slowly approaching in his direction on the distant horizon.
To paint a ship so vividly—aside from the "Environmental Protection" series, probably no one else would do it.
"Time to restock!"
A thought flashed through Yu Wang's mind. If it were in the past, his first reaction upon seeing these environmental fanatics approaching would definitely be to turn around and run away.
But things are different now. Yu Wang's lips curled into a wild smile: "As the saying goes, a clear conscience fears no accusation. If I haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be nervous about when I see an environmental protection vehicle?"
"Looks like I'll have to summon two regular ducks to help carry the trash."
