The transaction was completed quickly.
All it took was confirming the transaction details in the logbook and locking it in.
Next, the items were tossed into the Monster Gacha Machine, which would then transport them to the other ship.
There was no need to worry about the other party defaulting, as the Gacha Machine ensured the transaction was completed!
Generally, items like the Gacha Machine, which had a completely different style, were considered out-of-bounds bosses, and it was best not to test their power...
Yang Yi placed the agreed transaction items inside, and for materials, the system would directly deduct them from the ship's hold.
Before long, two bottles of Holy Water were spat out by the Monster Gacha Machine.
These were pure, colorless liquids contained in reagent bottles.
Yang Yi opened one, sniffed it, and found it odorless, then drank it all in one go.
Immediately, he felt as if his body was on fire, with a burning pain all over, even emitting a scorched smell.
But his mental state improved significantly, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
"It's effective!"
Yang Yi was overjoyed and checked his status.
The Corpse Poison Infection had become moderate, and his health began to slowly rise.
So he drank another bottle to consolidate the effect.
Then he spent 50 Conch Coins to buy five First Aid Bandages.
These seemed to be made of cloth, but Yang Yi didn't have the formula, so he had to buy them.
He pulled out the arrow from his left arm, the sharp pain making him grit his teeth.
But the pain was a good sign, indicating the Corpse Poison was lessening!
After cleaning the wound with a small amount of fresh water, Yang Yi bandaged himself and then checked his status panel again.
Yang Yi
Status: Injured/Corpse Poison Infection (Mild, Improving) [A human figure, light yellow, with darker areas where there are wounds]
Sanity: 93/100
Stamina: 35/100
Health: 19/100 (Slowly recovering)
He let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, he was alive again.
The remaining materials could still be used to upgrade the Nightmare, and he decisively upgraded it.
[Materials are sufficient, do you confirm the upgrade?]
Yang Yi clicked confirm.
The Nightmare emitted a ghastly green light, like ghostly spirits swirling around the ship, and the hull began to extend outward.
[Upgrade complete, the Nightmare has been upgraded to a Level 2 Ship. You can check the specific changes in the ship interface.]
[Voyage Announcement: The number of players with Level 2 ships has exceeded ten thousand. The Origin Sea will undergo new changes.
In three days, an unprecedented storm will descend upon this sea. All players, please prepare!]
As soon as the announcement was made, the chat channel exploded.
"Ten thousand Level 2 ships... damn it! I'm still short of 8 wood, is anyone selling wood?"
"Folks, who understands? I've reached the game world, but it's still so competitive!"
"Buying wood and cloth at high prices, PM if selling!"
A wave of upgrades swept through the channel, causing the prices of wood and cloth to soar. New chapters come out on g.com first.
But the ones suffering the most were those with Special Ships that required extra materials for upgrades...
Iron Ambition: "Trading fish meat for steel, PM for trades, providing fresh fish meat in large quantities long-term!"
"Don't buy from him, his fish meat has a gunpowder taste, it's awful!"
"You just need to say if it's fresh or not, I guarantee it's freshly killed and sold!"
"Does anyone have low-grade Essence of Wind? Price is negotiable!"
The speaker was Gale, who was a friend of Yang Yi, so the channel was no longer anonymous.
"Selling organic cucumbers, organic cabbages, organic apples, organic bananas, rich in vitamins and moisture, those who know, know. Also buying seeds at high prices."
"Where did you get vegetables and fruits, can your ship farm?"
"You clever guy guessed it right!"
He attached the ship information at the end.
[Farmer, Level 1, Durability 600/600, Capacity 1000 units, Speed 25 knots]
[Ship Skill: Efficient Planting: The ship has land, and the harvest time varies depending on the seeds.]
[Description: Farmer? No, you now call him Daddy!]
Yang Yi was somewhat surprised.
He didn't expect there to be a ship capable of farming, this was truly... an immense fortune!
Every Special Ship had its unique advantages!
Yang Yi glanced at the blueprint in his hand, this thing was definitely a treasure!
[Name: Pirate Ship Blueprint]
[Type: Blueprint]
[Quality: Special]
[Description: Can transform your ship into a Pirate, granting it faster speed, more grappling hooks, and even... cannons!]
Yang Yi hadn't seen cannons on the Pirate yet, probably something available after upgrading.
And as he had guessed, using the blueprint didn't consume materials.
This meant that using the blueprint on a high-level Basic Ship would yield enormous benefits.
For example, a Level 3 Basic Ship using the blueprint would become a Level 3 Special Ship, saving a lot of materials needed for upgrades.
The higher the level, the more you save!
So this blueprint's price wouldn't collapse even in the later stages!
He checked his ship interface again.
[Nightmare, Level 2, Durability 600/600, Capacity 1000 units, Speed 50 knots]
[Ship Skills:
Nightmare: The quality of sleep on the ship is extremely poor, causing nightmares, reducing stamina recovery efficiency by 75%.
Angler's Curse: Normal fish have no affinity with this ship, increasing the probability of encountering abnormal things.]
[Description: The ship has grown larger, but it can't change its dilapidated state!]
The ship's durability had doubled, but it was still very low, unable to withstand much!
The ship's length had become twenty meters, with a skeleton bound by rusty chains at the bow, the remains of the former captain...
1. Extra Cargo Hold, increasing ship capacity by 100%, requiring 300 units of wood.
2. Ancient War Room, providing two waterlogged cannons for attack, requiring 200 units of wood, 10 units of steel, and 10 units of sulfur.
3. Great Statue, capable of intimidating passing ships, causing panic, requiring 300 units of wood, 300 units of cloth, and the bones of an Aberration.
Yang Yi thought for a moment and set his sights on the Ancient War Room.
Nothing makes one feel safer than cannons!
Naval battles are incomplete without cannons!
The materials he currently had were as follows.
Capacity: 102/1000
Wood*39, Cloth*58, Fresh Water*5L
Steel and sulfur seemed to be advanced resources, which he hadn't encountered yet.
The upgrade interface for Level 3 ships wasn't open yet, likely needing expansion completion to unlock.
After handling everything, Yang Yi started fishing, as more food needed to be prepared...
Behind the Nightmare, separated by dozens of nautical miles.
There was a special ship, about ten meters long, with an enormous crystal ball over three meters in diameter on it.
[Stargazer, Level 1, Durability 500/500, Capacity 800 units, Speed 50 knots]
[Ship Skills:
Stargaze: Displays the sea chart of the surrounding hundred nautical miles, showing ship names.
Scrying: Can display the image of a specific ship on the sea chart, cannot view islands, limited to one target per day.]
[Description: Just revealing the map, not cheating!]
The captain was a beautiful woman with black hair and brown skin, her eyes a rare red.
She had noticed the Nightmare early on.
After all, two ships moving side by side was very rare.
Until later, there was a change, and the Pirate's icon suddenly disappeared from the sea chart...
"Was it taken out..."
The woman looked at the crystal ball in front of her, only the size of a palm, displaying the sea chart of the nearby waters, including ship names.
She reached out to manipulate it, using the Scrying skill to view the image of the Nightmare.
She saw Yang Yi on the ship, fishing.
A Long-Legged Sardine was caught by him, and before it hit the ground, it went into Yang Yi's mouth.
The woman's red eyes widened, full of shock and disbelief.
Before long, another eyeball was caught and then eaten again...
Finally, a Cyst Porcupinefish was caught, which the man disdainfully tossed aside.
But upon seeing this highly poisonous fish species, the woman's eyes lit up.
"How did he catch these treasures?" the woman said enviously.
She didn't lose any sanity, instead becoming very curious, as she had a special talent.
[Talent:
Witch's Blood: You crave knowledge, red eyes are your proof, and also your innate curse, Spirit +2.
You have high resistance to bizarre creatures and phenomena.
But remember, those who touch the forbidden will be pursued by the Holy Light Disc, burned by holy fire...]
