Chapter 24 Eye-Catching Bag
The storm on the seventh day wasn't just ordinary rain; it was a selection tactic used in the game.
Regardless of the type or size of the ship, if it has not reached level 1, it will be swallowed up!
Secondly, the newbie protection mechanism will disappear, and darkness and dampness will bring cold, fear, and even a continuous decrease in sanity.
At that time, a light source that can be windproof, rainproof, and provide stable illumination will become a lifeline that all survivors will desperately seek!
As the name suggests, fish oil lamps require fish oil, an oil most easily obtained at sea, as fuel.
To obtain fish oil, you need to have an oil extractor.
He possesses the blueprints for a fish oil extractor, and if it weren't for the lack of a workbench and concerns about storage space, he could manufacture it anytime.
Although he could have done something like the "Stone Fire Basin," where survivors bring their own materials and he only charged a processing fee.
However, the [Oil Extractor] is not as common as blueprints for [Workbench], [Stone Fire Basin], [Oar], etc.!
A single section can have a maximum of only a dozen or so drawings!
Yu Wang didn't want to support a large number of fish oil vendors while only earning a meager processing fee for himself.
Forget about the stone brazier; it's a common item, and the blueprints are everywhere. Let's just consider it a publicity stunt.
The profit margin of fish oil lamps, a critical strategic resource, is far greater than that of stone fire pits!
Therefore, as a raw material supplier favored by Yu Wang,
This is a good opportunity to test the character of "Don't Slap the Cockroach in the Mouth" through this purchasing agent. If I think he's good, we can cooperate further.
If that doesn't work, try to find a suitable survivor from your memory to cooperate with as soon as possible.
Therefore, after some deliberation, I opened the chat interface for "Don't open your mouth to hit the cockroach".
You're in for a ton of luck: "Hey? Could you buy me a potion station? I'll cover the materials and costs, and I'll give you 5 units of wood as a tip after it's done. How about it?"
At that time, in another relatively calm sea area.
On an upgraded raft,
"Don't open your mouth to hit the cockroach," he said, sporting faint dark circles under his eyes, as he forced himself to remove the traps surrounding the raft one by one.
To prevent myself from rolling around in my sleep and accidentally triggering the trap.
At this moment, she was exhausted, her eyelids heavy and drooping. All she could think about was taking a nap while the sun wasn't too strong yet.
Just then, a message notification sound rang out.
She rubbed her sore eyes, opened the panel, and her spirits lifted slightly when she saw that the sender was "You're about to hit the jackpot."
"Is a big shot looking for me?" She quickly glanced at the message.
"Purchase the medicine station? Five units of wood as a labor fee?" Don't open your mouth to hit the cockroach blinked, somewhat surprised and also somewhat tempted.
On average, it takes four or five salvage operations to obtain one unit of wood from floating wooden objects on the sea surface.
You can get 5 units with just a few clicks. It's not as exaggerated as a windfall, but it's still a stroke of good fortune!
More importantly, this is a request from the big boss who said, "You're going to hit the jackpot!"
The big shot had previously warned her not to fish at night, which indirectly saved her life. He also made a fair deal with her, leaving a very good impression on her.
Being able to help the big boss and maintain this relationship is more valuable to her than a few units of timber.
She replied almost without hesitation:
Don't open your mouth to hit a cockroach: "Hey boss, I'm here! Just finished working and about to go to sleep. No problem, I'll help you out! No need for the wood, you helped me before, this is nothing! Wait for my good news!"
Yu Wang nodded and added a sentence.
You're in for a ton of luck: "There are three players who can craft potion stations. Just pick one, except for 'Sunshine Enjoyment.' Send me the materials list after you get it, and I'll prepare it. Be careful not to reveal that this is the one I need."
Upon seeing the reply, the message "Don't open your mouth to hit the cockroach" became clear.
Without investigating why the expert would avoid the survivor "Sunshine Enjoyment," she readily agreed.
"Understood! Don't worry, boss, I'll get on it right away! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
"By the way, my name is Zhang Xinlan!"
After the chat ended, the little cockroach's drowsiness seemed to have subsided considerably.
Catching up on sleep? Hold on! I need to get the task assigned by the boss done first!
She immediately accessed the trading hall and, following Yu Wang's instructions, searched for "potion station" using the keyword.
"This panel is quite user-friendly..."
Looking at the three pop-up links, Zhang Xinlan avoided the survivor "Sunshine Enjoyment" and randomly chose one to chat with.
……
Everything was outsourced.
Yu Wang found himself with nothing to do but watch the inventory numbers in the warehouse slowly rise!
Of course, he can also choose to open the "tainted bronze treasure chest".
However, this treasure chest will almost always contain a monster, but there is no guarantee of what you will get.
With the trip to Crescent Island imminent, and upgrades to the ship and climbing the leaderboards to come... it's not worth the risk of opening the contaminated treasure chest before the Giant Claw Lobster Armor is crafted.
However, Yu Wang couldn't stay idle and thought of today's "nutritious meal".
"I haven't eaten the giant lobster meat yet. It's been three days. Once I finish today's portion, I'll see noticeable results."
As he spoke, he walked to the campfire at the stern of the boat, set up a small pot, added water produced that day by the desalination device, and prepared to make another seafood noodle dish.
This time, he decided to cook a lavish meal.
Besides the essential giant lobster meat chunks, he also took out a small amount of dark red lionfish meat and dark strips of night eel meat from the hold.
As apex predators in coral reef areas, the flesh of these two powerful creatures contains far more energy than that of ordinary fish. Their enhancement effect does not require three consecutive days of consumption; often, a single meal is enough to produce immediate results!
Place the meat chunks into the boiling noodle soup.
Soon, a unique aroma, a blend of the sweetness of lobster, the faint fishiness of lionfish, and the rich flavor of wolf eel, filled the small cockpit.
The noodles were cooked, and Yu Wang picked up the bowl, ignoring the heat, and began to eat heartily.
The three types of meat have distinctly different textures: lobster meat is springy and sweet, lionfish meat is firm with a slightly fishy taste but a mellow aftertaste, and wolf eel meat is thick and chewy... all mixed with light and soft noodles...
"This is what food should be like..."
Yu Wang sighed inwardly. The thought of running out of the food he carried from the real world and having to rely on the "pre-made dishes" in the game to survive filled him with a faint sadness.
"If only we had a cook... By the way, are there any ducks who are good at cooking?"
With the thought that every meal is one less to eat, Yu Wang turned on the camera on the panel and took a final picture of the seafood noodles in the pot.
Then I casually posted it to the 444 section chat group.
You're going to hit the jackpot! {Image} Every meal you eat is one less you'll ever have~
……
The moment the message was sent, the previously quiet group chat was instantly ignited.
"??? This is seafood noodles?! And lobster?!"
"I've been eating dark bread mixed with sawdust for three days now, brother, you really are my brother..."
"I thought I was lucky to have found a scallion-flavored cookie in a wooden crate!"
"@You're really lucky! Share a bite, just one bite! I'll trade you fresh water!"
"Comparison is the thief of joy. I'm still gathering seaweed to stave off hunger, while others are already enjoying a deluxe meal..."
"I've reported it! Someone is openly spreading poison!!"
The group chat was filled with wailing and envy, and jealousy and hatred were intertwined.
As more and more players, their eyes practically glowing with hunger, joined the outcry, a new notification quietly appeared above Yu Wang's screen:
[Significant fluctuations in group emotions detected. Title "Conspicuous Packer I" upgrade progress (1%). PS: You really are a procrastinator!]
……
Yu Wang: !!!
The unique title is upgradable, but because it is so rare, those who obtain it are unlikely to announce to the world: I have the XXX title, and I need to use XX to upgrade it!
Therefore, after he received the title of "Conspicuous Bag I", he had to figure it out entirely on his own.
So you need to attract hatred to level up!
It truly deserves to be the only title unlocked, drawing envy and resentment from hundreds of millions of people!
This upgrade method perfectly matches the original intention of a "show bag"!
The more conspicuous and flamboyant it is, the more powerful it is.
Yu Wang suddenly felt enlightened, but immediately afterward, a strong sense of crisis followed. They say a tall tree catches the wind.
In survival games, the more flamboyant you are, the faster you die! Becoming the center of attention inevitably makes you a target of everyone's criticism!
Immediately afterwards, a surge of excitement welled up inside him!
Opportunities and dangers coexist.
It's just unknown whether those who choose this path will become the target of everyone's attacks...
Or will it become that insurmountable mountain that everyone looks up to?
After calming himself down, Yu Wang posted another picture of seafood noodles.
Perhaps because of the precautions taken, the photo didn't have much of an impact. The experience bar barely moved one bar after a long time, and after becoming (1.2%), it just wouldn't budge.
"Looks like showing off too much is useless."
Yu Wang stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
