Bang!
Bang~
Bang.
The gunshots rang out continuously, each with a slightly different sound.
Yang Yi was practicing his shooting skills.
This flintlock pistol was unreliable, so he needed to improve his accuracy to compensate for this flaw.
A piece of wood was suspended at the stern of the ship, while Yang Yi stood at the bow, shooting.
He fired once every minute, and it didn't matter if the gun misfired since it was just practice.
Beside him was a fishing rod, and he occasionally glanced at the sea to see if there was any catch.
By the end of the morning, he had only hit the target a dozen times, far from being a sharpshooter!
Yang Yi ate a Long-Legged Sardine.
He had gotten used to eating them by now, finding the taste excellent, especially the four long legs, which were crispy and tasted like chicken!
In another day, the storm the system mentioned would arrive.
Yang Yi had stocked up on ten Eyeball Fruits, a loaf of black bread, 6 liters of fresh water, and a dozen Long-Legged Sardines.
During this time, he also caught a big one, half a meter long!
[Name: Red-Lipped Eel]
[Type: Food]
[Description: A fine fiery red lip, unfortunately growing on a fish's mouth! Do you want to have a passionate kiss with it?
Abyssal Fish, edible, non-toxic, with tender fish lips.]
The appearance of this fish had startled him.
Eating it raw would mean gnawing on those fiery red lips, and even Yang Yi found it hard to stomach... unless he was truly starving.
Looking at those fiery red lips, Yang Yi recalled last night's nightmare.
The memory was vivid, in the dream, a red-eyed woman pointed a gun at his head.
Those bright, dripping red eyes made him shiver...
[You feel a chill in your heart, Sanity decreased by 8]
The gun in the woman's hand was familiar to Yang Yi, it was his own flintlock pistol, though how it ended up in her hands was a mystery...
Just thinking about it made him feel a lingering fear.
Thanks to this, Yang Yi hadn't slept well again, his eyes shadowed by heavy dark circles...
Fortunately, the corpse poison in his body had been neutralized, and his wounds were mostly healed, with his health at 76, though his stamina was recovering too slowly.
After a night's sleep, his stamina only recovered about 30, severely limiting his daytime activities.
This couldn't go on.
He needed to find a way to quickly restore his stamina to offset this disadvantage.
For example, Holy Water, which had the effect of restoring stamina, but it was too expensive and not very effective...
"Look to the upper right, there's an island there!"
"Who are you?"
Yang Yi replied, but the other party didn't respond.
In this world, to actively contact someone privately, you at least needed to know the other person's ship name, and if it wasn't a special ship, you'd also need to know their name.
But Yang Yi had never voluntarily revealed his information.
How did this person know?
Could it be a cheat?
After some thought, he came to two conclusions.
1. The other party might have a special skill, saw him, learned his ship name, and was not far from him!
2. This was a special task given by the system.
He circled the ship but saw no suspicious ship shadows.
And indeed, there was an island to the upper right.
The island wasn't large, with a bit of greenery, suggesting there were trees on it.
These trees could likely be cut down for timber.
And there might be other gains on the island.
If he had discovered it on his own, he would probably have gone ashore to take a look.
But now that someone had pointed it out, he was a bit unsure.
In the end, Yang Yi decided to circle the island first to observe.
If there were no signs of other ships or player activity, he would choose a suitable spot to go ashore.
The gun in his hand gave him confidence.
At this stage, almost no players had guns, at least none had been seen in the chat channel.
As the ship approached, Yang Yi could see the full view of the island.
It was a tropical island, about three kilometers in diameter, not very large.
The edge was a golden beach, with some shell crabs moving about, but to Yang Yi, these were all protein!
But what attracted Yang Yi the most were the coconut trees on the island.
The tallest one even had a Bronze Treasure Chest hanging from it.
And there were no signs of players having landed on the island.
These coconuts hadn't been touched!
After hesitating for a while, Yang Yi decided to go ashore.
He chose a suitable spot to anchor, then went ashore.
As soon as he set foot on land, Yang Yi felt a sense of otherworldliness.
He gathered some food on the beach, like green crabs, clams, and scallops.
[Name: Green Crab]
[Type: Food]
[Description: A common crab, pure and pollution-free, with plump meat.]
[Name: Clam]
[Type: Ingredient]
[Description: A common shellfish, edible, can be made into delicious clam soup.]
[Name: Scallop]
[Type: Food]
[Description: If you have garlic and vermicelli, grilling a few will leave you wanting more!]
.......
Yang Yi collected a pile, threw them into the cabin, and planned to eat them later.
Next was the main event, a cluster of lush green coconut trees.
These trees were generally seven to eight meters tall, with the tallest reaching over ten meters, bearing heavy coconuts.
These were an important source of fresh water, easy to store, and the coconut meat provided dietary fiber.
The taste was decent.
They were treasures that couldn't be missed when found!
But climbing trees wasn't Yang Yi's forte, and a careless slip could result in a broken leg or even a spine.
He had no means of healing, so he couldn't take that risk.
Shooting them down with a gun... was convenient, but too noisy, and if there were monsters on the island, it would be bad.
As he walked around the trees, some stones of various sizes caught his attention.
[Name: Stone]
[Type: Resource]
[Description: Can be collected as stone material for manufacturing.
If it's a large stone, you'd better prepare a pickaxe.]
Yang Yi picked up a pile of medium-sized stones and placed them on the shore.
Then he swam back to the Nightmare, adjusted his position, and used the Grappling Claw to haul them onto the ship.
After two trips, he collected a total of 25 units of stone material.
To craft a simple stone axe, he needed 5 units of stone and 5 units of wood.
This was a synthesis function that came with the logbook, allowing the creation of basic tools like fishing rods, spears, bows, and arrows.
The quality was certainly poor, as it didn't even display attributes, not even as good as common equipment.
He took a stone axe and went ashore, heading towards the tallest coconut tree.
It bore more than a dozen large coconuts and a Bronze Treasure Chest.
This was the first tree he planned to tackle.
