Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 74 Trophies

The demon sword didn't carry any important treasures. The only seemingly valuable sword, Crescent Moon, had already been shattered into pieces during its battle with Shi Ming and was now useless.

Among his personal belongings was a communicator, from which Shi Ming could see quite a few communication records.

The last message on the communicator was sent to "Itsukushima Rin" not long ago by the demon sword; the message contained only a few words.

"Target found."

Scrolling up further, there was a message from "Itsukishima Rin": "The mission must be expedited. The primary objective is to retrieve the Endless Sea Map. Once the target is found, regardless of whether the crew cooperates or not, slaughter everyone without leaving a single survivor. All the bodies must be brought back without exception."

Shi Ming frowned.

Regardless of cooperation, a massacre is the only option?
This "Itsukushima Rin" is too domineering!

The past communication records were just simple task logs, nothing more than reporting progress and urging people to move forward, without much information that needed to be taken seriously.

But the "navigator's" communicator was different.

Shi Ming saw many secrets from above.

Just as he had seen on the "Let There Be Light" channel, this navigator named Edward had only accepted the mission from the mafia to repay a favor. But halfway through the mission, he received an invitation from the Lighthouse.

The lighthouse promised him a portion of what appeared to be the remains of a Sanctuary-class sea monster.

He was promised that he would be assigned as a "core member" and enjoy the treatment of an S-level Awakened.

Indeed, it has unlimited potential.

Unfortunately, everything was interrupted by Shi Ming.

Not only that, the lighthouse research project also had to be shelved.

Navigator Edward's last communication was half a day ago.

He didn't even report the progress of discovering the mission objective to his superiors in a timely manner.

This also relieved Shi Ming.

After confirming that the two communicators did not have a location tracking function, Shi Ming put them away.

The updates on the Skynet chip's death won't be quick; perhaps we can still extract other intelligence during this time.

Meanwhile, some progress was also made in the salvage of the wreckage of the "Water Arrow".

……

"Captain, most of the wreckage has been salvaged and piled up on the deck."

Shi Ming's silver ship is much larger than the Water Arrow, which is good at diving, and can easily fit eight or nine Water Arrows.

Specialization is key. The classification of drifting ships is determined by the core drive "Navigation X". There are differences in materials, uses, consumption, and functions, but not in size.

Shi Ming walked over and began searching through the pile of wreckage.

He was looking for a "navigational crystal".

Every Silver-class drifting ship has a Navigation Crystal as its driving core. This is a non-renewable and vital resource, and it is also an essential item for Shi Ming's Silver ship to be upgraded to a Gold ship.

He was originally wondering where to find a nautical crystal.

This time, someone actually came to us.

Click,

After using the King Slayer to cut through the Water Arrow's control panel, Shi Ming indeed discovered a round, irregular crystal, similar to the one he had found on the Yellowstone, but its energy fluctuations were nowhere near as strong as those on the Yellowstone.

The Eye of Creation swept over.

【Crystal of Navigation】

【Level: 2】

[The items necessary for building a drifting ship possess immense, surging energy and astonishing propulsion; they are extremely precious, non-renewable resources.]

Upgrade requires: 300 S-rank Sea Beast Blood Crystals of each of three different attributes.

Both the Crystal of Navigation and the Heart of Navigation are described as precious, non-renewable resources, but they can be upgraded in the Eye of Creation. However, the required materials are rather demanding.

300 of each of the three different S-grade sea beast blood crystals!
difficult!
In terms of difficulty, it is no less than destroying a golden ship and peeling off its spirit of navigation!
The price-performance ratio is too low!
Shi Ming put away the Navigation Crystal, preparing to wait until tomorrow to officially upgrade his current silver ship to gold level!
He had already thought of a name.

The dugout canoe is called "Sun Shooting," named after the myth of Hou Yi shooting down the sun. This is because the dugout canoe is extremely fast, like an arrow that shoots down the sun. Moreover, Shi Ming is using it to fight against the "Black Sun" of the "Black Society."

The silver ship is called "Great Fortune" because its hull is so sturdy and stable that it can even be used as a weapon; ramming it would be like striking gold. He will now be the captain of two golden drifting ships!

Moreover, upgrading the Sun Shooting skill to the General level is only about 500 high-grade sea crystals away, which is only a matter of time.

……

After some reflection, Shi Ming also carefully summarized the gains from this encounter.

1. A crystal of navigation

2. The blood of two A-level Awakened, including Edward's B-level blood, can help Shi Ming activate the A-level and B-level sea beast locations on the Endless Sea Map, making it easier to hunt sea beasts in the future.

3. The 30 high-grade sea crystals stored on the Water Arrow.

4. The mission data, which was soaked by seawater, detailed the mission objectives and tactics.

5. Energy production equipment on the Water Rocket.

What pleased Shi Ming the most was the energy production equipment on the Water Rocket. Diving requires a lot of energy, so the energy production equipment on the Water Rocket is relatively advanced and its operating speed is far greater than that of the Dayun.

It starts with three levels and can be upgraded again.

【A192 Energy Production Equipment】

【Level: 3】

[This energy production equipment, developed by Lighthouse Technology, can only extract high-grade sea crystals. It is compact and durable, with a daily production capacity of up to 20 sea crystals. The efficiency will be increased accordingly depending on the concentration of sea crystals in the sea.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 30 High-Grade Sea Crystals, 1 Dome Crystal, 1 Skynet Smart Chip, 20 Iron Ore]

I've used all three of my chances today, so if I want to upgrade, I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

However, it can still be used without upgrading. The blow that severed the Water Arrow did not damage the machine. It can be installed on the large transport ship and run together with the existing production equipment, doubling the efficiency once again.

well.

Now that the canoe has been upgraded to a general-class drifting ship, the remaining 423 high-grade sea crystals will soon be collected.

However, just to be on the safe side, he had to leave this lost sea as soon as possible.

I'll stay for one more day at most.

Although neither Yao Dao nor Edward reported their specific coordinates in real time via the communicator, these two elites were highly valued within their respective factions. Edward, in particular, was now the rising star of the Lighthouse, and the Lighthouse would spare no effort to find him.

Shi Ming didn't want to gamble away a few high-grade sea crystals.

There's no need to gamble.

He decided to rest for a day and set sail the next day to leave this place.

Before leaving, he wanted to explore the Yellowstone one more time.

……

……

……

Black Society.

drop--

Itsukushima Rin's communicator rang. He had finally received the message he had been "longing for".

Ps:

Originally, the author's new book had passed four rounds of recommendations and was about to be released.

Suddenly, the editor said that the follow-up reading was going well and there was a slight chance of it making it to the top three rivers.

In my memory, only the top player in each channel is qualified to access the Sanjiang platform. There are many top players in the same period, and I am just a newbie. I really don't even dare to dream of it.

But it's not bad to go all out, right?

Losing doesn't matter. My first book went through four rounds of sales, garnered over 8000 favorites, and peaked in the top 30 of the overall new book chart and the top 3 of the channel. I'm already very satisfied.

So, I'm asking for more reading!
Finally, there will be three updates today.
