"Opportunity?"
Su Qingyue was momentarily stunned.
But she quickly understood.
In this vast ocean, if he was moving so fast alone, he must have discovered something!
And...
She recalled the chat content from a small group she had joined earlier while browsing the Chat Channel.
The [Sisterhood Support Group] was filled with women’s tearful complaints.
"Wah... just now, a man insisted on sharing my raft, and when I refused, he threw stones at me..."
"Be careful, sisters! Some men are absolute beasts! Not only do they steal supplies, but they also... tried to force themselves on me..."
"It’s terrifying... the person next to me looks at me like he wants to devour me..."
"Ah... help... ah..."
"I want to report this! I’m going to report this!"
Those blood-soaked words sent chills down Su Qingyue’s spine.
Although Lin Ji was also annoying, sharp-tongued, and always trying to take advantage, at least... he hadn’t laid a hand on her.
He had even shared food with her, even if it was leftovers.
Compared to those unknown strangers, this bastard she knew well was clearly safer.
"Wait for me!"
Su Qingyue steeled her heart.
"I’m coming too!"
She quickly chanted in her mind: Follow him! Follow him!
Although her mental strength was inferior to Lin Ji’s, and her raft was much slower, fortunately, Lin Ji didn’t deliberately shake her off. The two rafts maintained a distance of about ten meters.
Ten minutes later.
A large floating debris field appeared on the sea ahead.
Broken wooden planks, shattered plastic foam, and several rusty metal barrels.
And in the very center of this debris.
An exaggeratedly designed longbow lay quietly floating on a wooden plank.
The bow was entirely cyan, with wing-like patterns carved at both ends, faintly revealing flowing wind elements.
[Storm Hunter Bow (Red Quality)]
[Description: A long-range weapon forged by the Will of the Wind, with range and penetration far surpassing ordinary items.]
[Function One: Wind Arrow Penetration. Arrows carry the power of gales, capable of piercing through up to 3 enemies in a straight line, with damage increasing with distance.]
[Function Two: Gale Pull (Passive). After each shot, pulls surrounding air currents, slightly increasing own movement speed and the speed of the next arrow.]
Lin Ji’s breathing instantly quickened.
It was indeed here!
He controlled his raft, charging at full speed.
However.
At that moment.
From another direction, another raft was also rushing over!
Extremely fast!
"That’s..."
Lin Ji’s eyes narrowed.
Eye of Insight instantly locked on.
[Survivor: Gu Yihan]
[Talent: Wind Listening (E-grade)]
[Status: Has discovered a treasure, rushing at full speed to seize it.]
Gu Yihan?
Lin Ji frowned slightly.
The name sounded familiar; she seemed to be one of the four campus belles of their Haicheng University.
But at this moment, even if the King of Heaven himself arrived, this bow would still belong to Lin!
On that raft stood a tall woman.
She wore a black sports bra and yoga pants, outlining her perfect figure.
Especially those long legs—simply extraordinary.
She had clearly also spotted the bow, her eyes filled with a determined gleam.
"Not good!"
Lin Ji quickly calculated the distance.
The opponent had the wind at her back, her speed slightly faster than his!
If things continued like this, she would definitely reach the bow first!
"Trying to steal my stuff?"
Lin Ji sneered coldly.
The iron hook he had long prepared in his hand was suddenly swung in a wide arc.
"Get lost!"
Whoosh!
The rusty iron hook whistled through the air, flying straight toward Gu Yihan.
He wasn’t aiming to hook her.
Instead, he had predicted her landing spot!
Gu Yihan was completely focused on that bow, never expecting someone to launch a sudden attack.
Only when the iron hook came whistling toward her did she snap back to reality.
"What!"
She exclaimed in shock, instinctively trying to dodge.
But the raft beneath her feet was already moving at high speed, and with this sudden evasion, her balance was instantly lost.
"Ah!"
Gu Yihan cried out, stumbling and falling onto the raft.
She even nearly slipped into the sea.
And with this delay.
The situation instantly reversed.
Lin Ji’s raft seized this opening, charging into the pile of debris like a shark.
He took a step forward, reached out, and grabbed.
The cool body of the bow was now in his hand.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Storm Hunter Bow!]
Lin Ji stood at the bow of the raft, holding the longbow, looking down at Gu Yihan, who had just scrambled to her feet.
A victorious smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"My apologies, beautiful."
Gu Yihan climbed up in a disheveled state.
She was soaked all over. Although she hadn’t fallen into the sea, the splash from her fall had drenched her like a drowned rat.
Her delicate makeup was half-ruined, and her smooth, long hair clung stickily to her face.
But that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was—
Her bow!
That red bow, which clearly looked extraordinary, was now in the hands of that despicable man!
"You... give the bow back to me!"
Gu Yihan was so angry her chest heaved violently as she pointed at Lin Ji and shouted.
"I saw it first!"
Lin Ji toyed with the Storm Hunter Bow in his hand, testing the draw of the bowstring.
Twang!
A clear, crisp sound of the string rang out, like the roar of a dragon.
"Good bow."
He praised it, then leisurely turned his gaze to Gu Yihan.
"Beautiful, it’s not even bedtime yet, and you’re already dreaming?"
"You saw it first?"
"I could say I saw this ocean first—does that mean the ocean belongs to me?"
"In the Survival Game, whoever gets their hands on it first, owns it."
"Do I really need to teach you that?"
Gu Yihan was left speechless.
Of course, she knew that principle.
But...
This bow was too important to her!
Her talent was [Wind Listening], allowing her to sense wind direction and sounds—she was practically a born sharpshooter!
With this bow, her chances of survival would greatly increase!
"Name your price."
Gu Yihan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She regained her usual elite, superior demeanor.
"My name is Gu Yihan."
"My father is the Executive Officer of Haicheng, Gu Tianming."
"As long as you give me this bow, I can make you a promise."
"Once we establish ourselves in this world, or when we return."
"I’ll guarantee you a bright future, wealth, and prosperity."
As she spoke, she slightly lifted her chin, a hint of innate arrogance in her eyes.
In her view, this offer was already quite generous.
An ordinary, poor student—wouldn’t he grovel obediently upon hearing the words "Executive Officer"?
However.
The response she received was a scornful laugh.
"Pfft—"
Lin Ji looked at her as if she were a fool.
"Senior Class Beauty Gu, are you still not awake?"
"CEO? Bright future?"
"Please, this is the Survival Channel!"
"So what if your dad is an executive? He’s probably clinging to a plank in the ocean drinking his own piss right now."
"Even if he isn’t dead, do you have the ability to make him airdrop a crate of bread to you right now?"
"Trying to fool me with empty promises like that, do you think I’m a three-year-old?"
Gu Yihan’s face stiffened.
Being so bluntly exposed by Lin Ji made her feel embarrassed.
"You... how can you be so vulgar!"
"Besides, my dad controls the most elite security force in Haicheng!"
"Those security personnel must have entered too!"
"They’ve received professional training and will definitely find my dad first and establish a power base!"
"If you side with me now, in the future..."
"In the future?"
Lin Ji cut her off directly.
His eyes turned icy, that mocking smile vanished.
Replacing it was a chilling indifference.
"Miss Gu, it seems you still haven’t grasped the situation."
