[Successfully killed mutant saw shark]
[ Obtained loot: Freshly saw shark body ]
[Quality: Common ]
[ Type: Material ]
[ Description: Creatures born from sea water rich in mysterious power, naturally possessing great power, but it is also a high-quality food.]
[ Jagged snout, maybe it can be a good weapon?]
[Note: You can only bring back one piece of loot each time you go Deep diving, please choose carefully.]
At this moment, the gray color on the board flashed across several rows of reminders.
[Checking that 「Secret Sea Crystal」 is present in the body, do you want to absorb it?]
[ Secret Sea Crystal ]
[Quality: Rare]
[ Type: Material ]
[Description: In the ocean, the secret power condenses into crystals, it can be directly absorbed by 「Eye of the Secret Sea」, increasing Ship spirit level and ship's attributes.]
[Please remember, it is still alive!]
"Oo?"
Shane's eyes sparkled, his heart jumped violently and he stood up.
He was very curious at first, what method could be used to increase the [Ship spirit level], and now he finally had the answer.
"Absorb!"
Shane did not hesitate to make the decision.
From the shark's abdomen, a block of blue crystal flew out and merged directly into this projection body.
Immediately, a clear and refreshing energy rose up, flowing throughout the whole body, very comfortable.
At the same time.
Shane's ear rang with a burst of cheers, as if expressing his gratitude.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, this was the feeling that [Black Swan] had conveyed.
His relationship with the ship spirit seems to have become a bit closer because of this.
[Ship spirit level : LV1(2%)]
By this time, Shane basically understood how to use this talent.
Not only can you hunt sea animals, harvest [Secret Sea Crystals] from their bodies to level up.
It is also possible to early explore the condition of the seabed and obtain intelligence.
After that, whether you personally go into the sea or send out a salvager, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
He can even control the projection body and assist crew members in salvage operations.
At this moment, Shane noticed something that looked like a progress bar in the lower right corner of his eyes, continuing to shorten.
[ Projection Body ]
[Ship Spirit Asylum: While deep diving, the projection body can move freely in sea water.]
[But when the Power of Ship Spirit is completely consumed, it will automatically exit the Deep diving state.]
[Power of Ship Spirit LV1: 89/100]
After examining carefully, Shane saw the Power of Ship Spirit number from "90" falling to "89."
Apparently, he just put himself in the sea water, constantly consuming the Power of Ship Spirit.
"This is like an oxygen tank, if it falls to 0, the Projection body will be destroyed."
"Plus, attacking or being attacked seems to accelerate its loss."
"Perhaps, depth also affects it?"
"On the contrary, increasing the ship's [Sturdy] attribute, increasing the Ship spirit level, can increase the time spent operating on the seabed."
After all, it was his first time exploring, so Shane didn't pay too much attention to this harvest, but was more focused on exploring the rules.
So, in the process of searching for rules and searching for abandoned houses, the first [Deep diving] ended.
[Please choose your loots!]
[first. A clock full of rust ]
[2. Broken wooden planks ]
[3. Fresh saw shark body ]
Just as Shane expected, this Ruin was soon cleaned out.
Even though he killed a few seabed creatures one after another, he did not discover the [Secret Sea Crystal].
The drop rate of items in the shallow sea is clearly not too high.
As a result, the most valuable harvest is still the shark's body.
Shane opened his eyes and his thoughts returned to the captain's room.
In front of him lay a dead shark. The shark's body was still wet, wetting the floor of the captain's room, as if it had just been picked up from the water.
"This...Can I eat it?"
Although the description said this was a cooking ingredient, he remembered that the shark meat contained a large amount of urea, and when eaten, it would smell of urine.
"Perhaps, will mutant sharks be different?"
Because the sea covered up the previous era of the continent, causing things hidden in the city to reveal secret power to the ocean. Creates a large area of [Supernatural pollution], which in turn causes mutantions to appear in common marine life.
Whether it's physical appearance or physiological structure, they all have clear differences from organisms on Earth.
In the deep sea, it also hides countless terrifying sea monsters with strange abilities.
"Whether it's delicious or not, I'll know if I try it for a while. However, I still have to explain to Joy where this shark comes from..."
Shane's mind turned and he thought of a brilliant idea.
...
A moment later, the ship's deck.
"Captain, what are you doing?"
Looking at Shane taking out a very long fishing rod, Joy showed a doubtful expression.
Shane said calmly and rationally: "What, haven't you ever seen fishing?"
"Well, I guess you're tired too. Just go find a room to rest for a while. I'll call you when I catch a fish."
Incidentally, Joy was indeed a bit tired, so he dutifully went into the small room on the ship to rest.
"Captain Shane, quite a nice person."
Lying on the tree bed, Joy thought.
Even after spending half a day together, he could see that even though the captain had a bit of an odd personality and actions, he was essentially a good person.
That's why Joy feels a little worried and insecure when hiding some things.
Another side.
Shane had fixed his fishing rod at the edge of the ship's shore, casually hooked the bait, cast it down, and sat down on one side.
Shane actually has no experience in fishing. Fishing is a waste of time, but it is a reasonable excuse for the shark body.
Being able to catch something is good, but not catching anything is not a problem.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shane began to think about his plans.
"Including income, I have to pay a total of 350 silver snake coins."
"This is a large amount of money, enough to buy the entire black swan."
"If I want to pay off all this debt, searching for this kind of small ruin near the sea will take a long time. Only by going far enough to the sea can I get rich in one go."
Shane narrowed his eyes. He remembered that there was a place called "Coral City" under the sea ruins near Duke Island.
That place was once a prosperous kingdom, with many buildings, a large area, and an unusually complex environment.
To this day, the city's secret treasure has not been completely excavated.
"However, the dangers in the open sea are far greater than those in the near sea."
Of course, there is no need to say too much about the dangers under the sea. More importantly, there are quite a few ruins nearby. There is often a presence that makes ordinary ships frightened ——
Pirate Ship!
From ancient times to the present, the golden belt of murder and arson has been an unchanging law, and it is even more so in this chaotic sea area.
Going to the bottom of the sea to salvage is in serious danger. Wouldn't it be good to directly rob the salvage ship?
Even many of the salvage ships themselves don't mind occasionally acting as pirate ships.
This medium-sized small ship, similar to a black swan, easily became a target for pirates.
"My current combat power is probably only at the level of a 1st step Beyonder."
"Encountering ordinary pirates is easier said than done. In case I encounter a Big Pirate on the bounty board, it is estimated that even if I run away, I won't be able to escape."
In this aspect, Shane is still somewhat self-aware.
"The top goal now is Deep Sea Diving every day. It's best to find a long-term ruin under the sea."
"Secondly, it is to strengthen himself and the black swan."
Shane silently decided on two small goals in his heart, then thought: "I still have to ask if Joy knows something, whether or not he can handle the job of salvager."
At this moment, he suddenly thought that there was also a column for crew members on the board, so he conveniently opened it and took a look.
