For his first kill, Yang Yi felt no psychological burden.
Perhaps it was due to his high spirit and tolerance.
He donned the pirate outfit and headed towards the pirate ship's cabin.
[This outfit feels chilly, your Sanity decreases by 5]
As for the debuff that continuously decreased Sanity, Yang Yi's high spirit allowed him to ignore it.
Yang Yi entered the cabin and immediately received information about the ship.
This was a special ship.
[Pirate, Level 1, Durability 1000/1000, Capacity 800 units, Speed 45 knots]
[Ship Skills:
Extra Grappling Claw: This ship has two grappling claws on each side, which can grab objects or other ships.
Pirate Assault: Increases speed by 25% for 15 minutes.]
[Description: The skull flag is the soul of this ship, strive to become the Pirate King!]
Taking this opportunity, Yang Yi tried to switch ships, but after searching through the logbook for a long time, he found no related function.
It seemed that switching ships wasn't possible.
Moreover, Yang Yi didn't plan to switch.
This ship was quite good, with four more grappling claws than an ordinary ship, which, if used skillfully, could greatly increase resource acquisition efficiency.
But it couldn't compare to the Nightmare.
The foresight effect of the Nightmare was much rarer than grappling claws!
Yang Yi searched every room in the cabin and unexpectedly found a female corpse.
She was completely naked, likely having suffered significant abuse before death, with one plump thigh missing and clear strangulation marks on her neck.
The bloodstains were fresh, indicating she had died not long ago.
So Yang Yi was probably the second victim.
The first one... was already dead!
[You ponder the whereabouts of the thigh, your Sanity decreases by 2]
Yang Yi frowned.
The ship owner's Sanity might be even lower than Yang Yi had anticipated, with a worrying mental state!
He began to inspect the supplies he found.
Including two loaves of hard black bread, enough to provide two days' worth of calories, 5 liters of fresh water, 125 units of wood, and 98 units of cloth.
[System Prompt:]
[You have successfully seized an unowned ship, you can choose to dismantle the ship, and the materials inside will be transferred to your cabin.]
[Before dismantling, ensure your ship's capacity is sufficient, otherwise the excess materials will sink into the sea.]
[From this dismantling, you will receive 100 units of wood, 50 units of cloth, and a Pirate Ship Blueprint. Only dismantling special ships yields corresponding blueprints.]
[Each ship can only be modified once with a blueprint, please make your choice carefully!]
[This prompt only appears upon the first seizure.]
No wonder this ship had so much wood; the previous owner must have dismantled an ordinary ship.
He checked the Nightmare, which had a very small capacity of only 400 units.
Capacity: 25/400
Wood*14, Cloth*10, Fresh Water*1L (less than 1L is calculated as 1L)
As for whether having too many items would cause overloading, that would have to be tested later.
Yang Yi did a quick calculation.
After dismantling this ship, his ship would just barely be able to hold all the materials, and the materials would be enough to upgrade his ship to Level 2, which was quite a windfall.
He searched again to ensure there was nothing else of value before returning to the Nightmare, now with a dozen simple arrows in hand.
Then, Yang Yi operated on the logbook to confirm the dismantling of the pirate ship.
Immediately, the ship was dismantled right before his eyes, turning into scattered fragments that rushed into the Nightmare's cabin.
He now had enough resources to upgrade to a Level 2 ship.
But before that, he had a more urgent matter to attend to—purchasing medical supplies through the Trading System.
If upgrading the ship left him without enough resources to buy medicine, he'd be in trouble.
Yang Yi quickly opened the Chat Channel and began browsing.
"Selling First Aid Bandage, 10 Conch Coins, 5 left!"
[Name: First Aid Bandage]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Common]
[Description: Clean bandages, good for stopping bleeding and preventing wound infection]
"Rum, can also be used for disinfection, 30 Conch Coins a bottle, only one left!"
"Selling balloons, you know what they're for..."
Yang Yi scanned quickly.
The trade had just opened, and everyone had limited Conch Coins, with no standard prices, so they were all quoting based on intuition.
Many were bartering, and some didn't accept Conch Coins, thinking it safer this way.
Few were selling resources; currently, wood and cloth were considered hard currency in trade, more popular than Conch Coins.
"Selling salt, 100 Conch Coins a pack!"
[Name: Holy Salt]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Fine]
[Description: Can dispel minor curses, scatter it to ward off evil, or you can eat it.]
This wouldn't work either...
He continued to scroll up and finally found his target, an excellent quality item.
"Limited long-term sale of Holy Water, DM if interested."
[Name: Holy Water]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Description: Blessed pure water, can be ingested or used externally, and can also be used as a throwing weapon. When facing Aberrations, you can never have too much Holy Water!
Can cure various poisons and curses, accelerate wound healing, and slightly restore stamina.]
This was it!
Yang Yi checked the bargaining chips he had for trade.
Including the Drowned One's Resentment, Pirate Longbow, Rusted Flintlock Pistol, blood-stained pirate outfit, Barnacle-Covered Fishing Rod, Pirate Ship Blueprint, various resources, and 500 Conch Coins.
If possible, he wanted to keep the weapons, pirate outfit, fishing rod, and enough resources to upgrade to a Level 2 ship.
The Pirate Ship Blueprint could be traded, but its value was undoubtedly very high, not suitable for sale now.
After a brief consideration, Yang Yi privately messaged the seller. (Before adding friends, everyone was anonymous by default, and players could choose to display their real name or ship name.)
A minute later, the other party replied, seemingly contacted by many.
Anonymous: "I need a lot of cloth, and also life-saving items, equipment, fresh water, food, all of these are fine."
Yang Yi frowned.
The pricing power was in his hands, yet he was actually in a passive position.
If he offered too low, he'd be seen as causing trouble.
If too high, he'd suffer a big loss.
But Yang Yi was in a critical condition, with no time for haggling, so he immediately offered the highest price he could accept.
Yang Yi: "Drowned One's Resentment, check the attributes yourself, it's a fine life-saving item.
Plus 400 Conch Coins, 30 units of wood, 58 units of cloth, one loaf of black bread, 4L of fresh water."
He attached the attributes of the Drowned One's Resentment.
After sending, he waited for the other party's response.
This time it was quick; within seconds, the other party sent a message.
"Are you seriously injured?"
Yang Yi read it and frowned.
It seemed his high offer had revealed his urgent need for medical supplies.
If the other party raised the price, Yang Yi wouldn't hesitate to find another seller.
Because there must be others with recovery items!
Fortunately, that wasn't the case; instead, a friend request came through.
[Captain Zhou Dai of the Radiant Goddess requests to add you as a friend]
Yang Yi agreed without hesitation, and several messages followed.
"Your offer is reasonable; others are just messing around! I'll sell it to you!
You seem quite injured; one bottle might not be enough, so I'll give you two bottles as a welcome gift!
My ship can produce Holy Water, so we can have long-term cooperation in the future, hehe!
May the Radiance bless you!"
After reading the messages, Yang Yi was stunned.
He hadn't expected the transaction to go so smoothly!
It seemed the other party also needed the Drowned One's Resentment, a life-saving item against Aberrations.
And she wasn't a profiteer taking advantage of the situation; on the contrary, she seemed a bit kind?
Meanwhile, on the Radiant Goddess.
It was a pure white three-masted ship, built from sturdy white oak, looking incredibly sacred.
Captain Zhou Dai, with golden hair and blue eyes, had a tall and voluptuous figure, yet a delicate Asian face, likely a mixed-race.
She was inside a special structure on the ship, called the Prayer Room, which housed the Radiant Goddess Statue.
Currently, the ship was Level 1, and the Prayer Room could only produce Holy Water.
Moreover, Zhou Dai had a significant concern... sea spirits frequently visited the Radiant Goddess, especially at night!
This forced her to hide in the Prayer Room every night...
So the more life-saving items like the Drowned One's Resentment, the better!
As long as she had some time, not much, just enough to hide in the Prayer Room...
