[Nightmare, Level 1, Durability 300/300, Capacity 400 units, Speed 40 knots]
[Ship Skills:
Nightmare: Sleeping on the ship causes nightmares, reducing stamina recovery efficiency by 75%.
Angler's Curse: This ship is cursed, unable to catch normal fish.]
[Description: This ship has drifted at sea for hundreds of years, finally welcoming its new owner....]
After reading the ship's information, Yang Yi's face darkened.
This ship was a ghost ship.
The hull was covered in barnacles and seaweed, untouched for countless years.
The deck was damp, creaking underfoot.
He had played many horror games.
In scenes like this, there was a high chance of monsters lurking!
Fortunately, after searching thoroughly, he found nothing else that could move.
Yang Yi let out a long breath.
He didn't want to engage in a fierce battle with some inexplicable creature right at the start.
He had familiarized himself with the ship's condition.
The ship was about twelve meters long, consisting of the helm, captain's cabin, deck, and hold.
The helm was on a platform at the bow, elevated for a good view.
Behind it was the captain's cabin, containing a bed and simple furniture.
Further back was the midship, with a tall mast standing upright.
The stern housed the hold, leading into the ship's interior for storing goods.
Yang Yi had checked the hold; it was empty, not even a bug, only a damp, nauseating moldy smell.
His start had zero supplies....
After all, this ghost ship had been adrift for who knows how many years; having food and drink would be strange!
Yang Yi opened the logbook, continuing to check the World Channel to see what others had discovered.
Most people were showing off their ships.
Most were ordinary ships, but there were special ones, with a few particularly eye-catching.
[Gale, Level 1, Durability 800/800, Capacity 500 units, Speed 70 knots]
[Ship Skill: Ride the Wind and Break the Waves: Increases ship speed by 100% for 5 minutes.]
[Description: You won't even catch its exhaust, trust me!]
This was probably the fastest ship at the moment.
Other basic ships, depending on size, had speeds between 30 to 40 knots, with larger ships generally having higher durability but slower speed.
Yang Yi's Nightmare had a speed slightly above average.
[Cherry Blossom, Level 1, Durability 1000/1000, Capacity 1000 units, Speed 35 knots]
[Blessing Light Burst: The cherry blossom tree on the ship emits evolutionary blessing light, occasionally altering crew attributes, possibly triggering evolution!]
[Description: Hope the crew can remain human.]
This information caused a rare pause in the World Channel.
"Haha, my ship is amazing, I feel like I'm evolving, Wryyyyy!"
"Are you sure that's not a mutation?"
"Cherry Blossom, huh? I advise you to sail faster, don't run into me, or I'll definitely shove my cannon into your XX!"
The speaker was Iron Ambition, who had revealed his ship's name.
There was even a photo attached, from the logbook's screenshot function.
It was an iron warship, armed to the teeth, with twenty cannons on each side, full of firepower and martial virtue.
But thinking about its speed of only five knots, everyone burst into laughter.
"Baka! Survive until tomorrow before you talk."
"Damn it! Just you wait!"
The rest was a bunch of pointless insults, with many words censored.
"It seems different languages are translated by the system into one's native tongue...."
Yang Yi silently typed: "Count me in!"
Then he continued scrolling up, finally finding some interesting information.
"Have you tried fishing?"
"Quiet, I'm fishing!"
"Discovered you can fish, suddenly I don't want to go back."
"I fish once a week, one time lasts a week!"
"I just set up my spot."
"Your ship is moving, how can you set up a spot, are you stupid?"
"Damn! Why didn't you say earlier, I'm used to it, my black bread!"
"Guess what I caught, a bottle of Farmwife's Three Punches!"
Yang Yi's eyes lit up; if he could catch fresh water, that would be great.
His ship also had a fishing rod, lying on the deck.
[Name: Moldy Barnacled Fishing Rod]
[Type: Tool]
[Quality: Fine]
[Description: Trust me, you won't like what it catches.
Reduces the probability of catching normal fish, slightly increases the chance of catching unknown items.]
"This unknown item must include fresh water!"
Yang Yi concluded.
However, before fishing, Yang Yi needed to adjust the ship's course and speed.
He currently had no target, planning to sail straight ahead at full speed in the default direction.
At the edge of his vision, far away, was a hint of black, likely the boundary of the Black Mist.
So heading forward couldn't be wrong.
Controlling the ship was simple, requiring no skill, all magic.
He only needed to hold the helm to easily change the ship's direction and control it.
Including adjusting the ship's speed and operating devices like the grappling claw.
Overall, it felt similar to the sailing games he had played.
Players could use the grappling claw to grab passing items.
As for power...
Yang Yi looked at the mast, with a few tattered pieces of cloth hanging.
He decided not to think about it, focusing on grabbing floating items.
[Rotten Wood +1]
[Rotten Wood +1]
[Tattered Cloth +1]
[Rotten Wood +1]
The Voyage Log's activity records kept popping up with new messages.
This gameplay was much like a gold miner, except the targets were dynamic.
Items grabbed would be converted into resources, stored in the hold, viewable in the logbook.
Each piece of rotten wood had a chance to convert into one unit of wood, and tattered cloth into one unit of fabric.
Yang Yi calculated simply, the chance was less than 10%.
That is, grabbing ten pieces of rotten wood would yield about one unit of wood.
If he consciously grabbed better-looking driftwood, the probability would be higher.
Yang Yi grabbed over a hundred floating items, collecting a total of five units of wood and three units of fabric, taking three hours, not very efficient.
But it was a skill, and with more practice, efficiency would improve.
These wood and fabric could be used to upgrade the ship.
To upgrade Yang Yi's ship to Level 2, he needed the following materials: [Wood*200, Fabric*100, Captain's Remains]
He knew what the remains were, definitely the ones in the captain's cabin.
So the bones couldn't be discarded.
Collecting so much wood and fabric would conservatively take over a week.
And this was just a Level 1 ship.
As the level increased, upgrading would likely become harder.
But upgrading a ship requiring remains...
Yang Yi suddenly realized that special ships might have different upgrade materials.
He immediately checked the chat channel and found it was true.
Basic ships required fewer materials to upgrade.
They only needed Wood*100 and Fabric*50, without any need for bones.
As for the Iron Ambition... it required steel to upgrade.
"Damn! Where can I find steel on the sea, how am I supposed to upgrade!"
"As everyone knows, iron is heavier than water—it will only sink to the bottom."
"Anglers can catch anything! I just caught one unit of steel!"
"What?"
"High price for steel! Whoever gives me steel, I'll take them as my underling."
"Baka! Talk about collecting steel when you survive until tomorrow! The Black Mist is about to catch up with you!"
"Cherry Blossom, huh? Don't hide, wait for me, don't let me catch you!"
Yang Yi closed the logbook.
It seemed special ships weren't all advantages, with difficult upgrades, they could easily fall behind in levels.
He picked up the fishing rod, ready to fish.
