Chapter 5 - Sharks?

"Rose petals fell in front of my eyes, one by one."

Chen Feng had not known when he had the habit of singing when he was on the toilet, but he would not be able to poop if he had not.

Chen Feng sang leisurely, and from time to time, he worried about not having toilet paper.

Other than the sound 'Plop Plop Plop', Chen Feng also heard the sound of water splashing.

The ripples on the calm sea surface were getting bigger and bigger!

"My sh*t is so big?"

Chen Feng thought he caused the waves on the sea surface, he was so surprised that he wanted to turn around and look.

However, Chen Feng only managed to turn halfway when he vaguely saw a triangular 'small flag' quickly approaching from the corner of his eye.

"Shark... Shark!"

Just when Chen Feng was dazed, the underwater creature suddenly rushed out of the water.

The water splashed in all directions, and Chen Feng could vaguely see two rows of blood-red, ferocious fangs in a huge bloody mouth.

It was charging toward him at full speed!

"Oh my God!"

If he was bitten, he would just turn into two pieces of bread for its' breakfast.

Chen Feng did not have the time to pull up his pants, and he hurriedly jumped toward the middle of the raft.

He felt that time had slowed down. Its bloody mouth narrowly slid past Chen Feng's skin.

After narrowly dodging it, Chen Feng sat on the raft and looked back.

It was a great white shark with a greenish-gray back, a white underside, and a white belly. Judging from its size, it was about three meters long.

Chen Feng was still in shock, and all he could say was, "F*ck!"

The great white shark had failed its' attack, and it sank into the sea. After swimming a distance away, it rushed over again. From the looks of it, it seemed like it was going to crash into the raft!

"!!!"

Chen Feng subconsciously took two steps back.

The great white shark was already in front of him within three seconds.

"Bang!" 

A white light lit up the raft, and it surrounded Chen Feng and the raft like a ball.

The great white shark was stunned by the impact as it bounced on the surface of the sea. It looked at Chen Feng in a daze, confused about what was going on.

[Beginner's protection activated. Successfully withstood an attack!]

"Hu~"

Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. A great white shark had suddenly appeared and almost swallowed him whole!

Fortunately, he was still in the beginner's protection period of the game, so he was absolutely safe on the raft.

"I..."

Chen Feng quickly pulled up his pants and put away his 'swinging great sword'. He pointed at the stunned great white shark and cursed.

Which person could withstand such stimulation?

The great white shark noticed that the raft was strange and sank back into the sea.

However, he knew that it had not given up from its dorsal fin that was wandering on the surface of the sea.

After a long while, Chen Feng calmed down and started to observe it.

[Hungry great white shark]

Evaluation: He is a cute little shark that likes to grind its teeth. Yes, it's him!

What should he do? Chen Feng frowned as he looked at the great white shark that was wandering in the distance.

Where did this shark come from?!

From the looks of it, it seemed like it was going to exhaust itself at the end.

[Beginner's protection period: 1 day, 18 hours, 32 minutes]

There was not much time left on the beginner's protection period. Once the time was up, what should he do if the great white shark had not given up?

He had to think of a way to kill or chase it away.

"Oh right, Beast taming scroll!"

Chen Feng suddenly thought of the blue item that had appeared from the beginner's treasure chest. He took it out and had a look. He remembered that it could tame animals?

A light blue leather scroll appeared in his hand.

[Beast taming scroll (Blue)]

Use: 10% chance of taming an animal

Evaluation: Taming an animal? Is this some kind of magic item?

[Probability item detected. Emperor's luck triggered. Probability modified to 100%]

[Hint: When using this item, the user needs to place the scroll on the animal's body for three seconds for it to take effect. No animal detected.]

Placed the scroll on it?

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Chen Feng swallowed his saliva.

He thought it was some high-level item, but he had to place the scroll on the beast. Which idiot came up with this idea!

Question: How many steps does it take to tame a shark?

First, take out the Beast taming scroll.

Second, place it on the shark.

Third, stab it?

He had given up on this idea. Chen Feng helplessly placed the scroll back into the warehouse, thinking of another plan.

Sitting in the middle of the raft, he had not dared to go near the edge of the raft.

Since yesterday, the number of online players in the game had decreased to 3.6 billion, and 400 million people had died.

Chen Feng estimated that most of these people had given up using the fishing rods because they were desperate for food and water. They wanted to try their lick and jumped into the sea to catch fish.

The raft's safety made everyone ignore the fact that there are large ferocious predators in the sea.

In the end, they could not get back up.

He did not know if the other players had encountered sharks and how they dealt with them.

Chen Feng opened his inventory to see what tools could be used to deal with the great white shark.

Harpoon was not enough. It was useless to stab it as it would only make it more ferocious.

The fishing net was not enough. The fishing net was made of plant fibers that could be break easily.

The short knife was 30 centimeters long. It might be useful, but what average person would have the courage to go into the sea and stab a shark with a short knife?

After thinking about it, Chen Feng felt that he would prioritize upgrading the raft first and seeing if anyone in [Trade] sold any better tools or weapons.

He had fished for a long time last night. He counted the items in the warehouse.

[Wood *53]

[Stone *7]

[Iron *29]

[Container *19]

[Plant fiber *19]

[Aquatic product: 41,21G]

[Food: 2,000G]

[Fresh water: 1,250ML]

[Wooden treasure chest *2]

[Tomato seeds]

[Sunscreen]

He opened the two wooden treasure chests and got [300G bread] and [Lighter]

"I still need some materials to level up. Let's go to trade and take a look!"

Most of the items in the auction were for sale. Most of them required water and food.

As for the weapons, most of them were ordinary weapons like knives. Chen Feng was not interested in them.

[Wood *15]

Item required: 100ML of freshwater

"I'll buy this!"

[Plant fiber *10]

Required items: 150ML of water

"I'll buy this too!"

Chen Feng traded for these two items. Wood and plant fiber were important items if he wanted to upgrade the raft.

The raft upgrade blueprint can be obtained from a wooden treasure chest. There were billions of players in the game, so there must be quite a number of people who had the upgrade blueprint.

The great catastrophe 30 days later had also made many players aware of the danger they were in. After having dealt with the shortage of food and water, the demand would increase the price of wood and plant fiber as it is needed to upgrade the raft.

However, the value of water and food was still the highest.

Fortunately, Chen Feng had obtained a seawater separator from a beginner's treasure chest. Currently, he was probably the only person in the game who had had no problem with freshwater. The others could only obtain water by opening treasure chests or making simple distillation devices.

Freshwater and food would be Chen Feng's biggest bargaining chip.
