After spending one while shopping, he exchanged the remaining nine for 855 High-Level Sea Crystal Stones. The standard exchange rate was 1:100, but the Twelve Stars charged a 5% transaction fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this final task complete, his business there was finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King-level Wandering Ship was massive, its overlapping decks forming a three-dimensional labyrinth. Less than one percent of it was open to the public, and even with ten hours, it was impossible to see everything. Shi Ming could only pick out a few key areas to visit and broaden his horizons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Today’s gains were decent. I’ve completed my Ocean Hunter certification.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’From now on, I can take on bounties and sell off any useless materials through the association.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Plus, I have enough High-Level Sea Crystal Stones for the Sun-Shooter’s advancement! As soon as I leave the waters under the Twelve Stars’ jurisdiction, I can immediately try upgrading the Sun-Shooter to General-class. That will give me another ace up my sleeve!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying his purchases, Shi Ming stepped into one of the ship’s elevators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had the surreal feeling of shopping in a mall from a bygone era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t reveal his system’s storage space here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had no choice but to carry his purchases by hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twelve Stars actually sold a storage device called a \"Honeycomb.\" It was said to be made from the nest of a rare sea beast. Palm-sized, it offered a maximum of one cubic meter of storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The larger the space, the more expensive it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming gave up the idea of buying one after just a single glance at the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Too expensive, and too small.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since I have my System Storage, I have no use for this thing anyway.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still, if I get the chance, I could buy a fake one to hang at my waist. That way, I can pass off my System Storage as a Honeycomb and use it openly in front of others.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wouldn’t expose my secret, and I could access my items conveniently.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator on the Twelve Stars carried Shi Ming and a few other people down to the sea level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen or so small boats were moored here, ready to ferry them back to the Dinglan Field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shi Ming’s visit to the King-level Wandering Ship was officially over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the elevator doors slid open, Shi Ming saw a flash of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the woman in the hooded red robe who piloted a wandering ship that could vanish as if erased, the one who had bought a vial of B-rank sea beast blood from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s likely an internal member of the Twelve Stars, an A-rank Awakened whose body undergoes uncontrollable bestial transformations.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hooded woman, Yize, was clearly taken aback for a moment before she took the initiative to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi! What a coincidence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hood was pulled down extremely low, but Shi Ming could still make out the excitement on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside Yize was a man in his forties, clad in heavy armor, with a face that looked as if it were carved from stone. He glanced down at the young woman and asked casually,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, he’s the one I was telling you about,\" the hooded woman replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s very kind. He sold me a vial of B-rank sea beast blood for only 20 Dome Crystals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shi Ming’s face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked up and glanced at Shi Ming in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t surprised by Shi Ming’s generosity; he had already heard Yize’s account of their meeting on the ship. ’This young man can easily kill a B-rank sea beast at sea?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And that B-rank sea beast was supposedly a Red Tide Sea Parasite.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hooded woman looked at Shi Ming again, opened her mouth, then hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to etiquette, she needed to call him something, but she realized she didn’t even know his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... Stone, this is my teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man also nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chance encounter on the water was uneventful. They only exchanged polite pleasantries, with no deeper conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they parted ways, Shi Ming vaguely noticed that the woman was also wearing red gloves, hiding the skin on her hands, which was covered in coarse, brown fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small boat from the Twelve Stars started up, speeding Shi Ming away toward the Dinglan Field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yize and her teacher stepped into the elevator on the Twelve Stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in heavy armor cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re being awfully quiet. Are you regretting not asking him for his communicator frequency?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s voice was as deep and resonant as steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, what are you talking about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blush was visible on the woman’s face, even under her hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn’t quiet for that reason! I was just disappointed that he only had one type of B-rank sea beast blood! If I could just get three more new types of B-rank blood, I could finally concoct the potion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man glanced at his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. Sea beasts capable of evolving to B-rank are exceptionally cunning. Finding them on the open sea is quite difficult unless you have special tracking methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed his wrists, and the steel plates of his armor scraped against each other with a CLANG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don’t worry, we still have plenty of time. We’ve already collected nine types. We only need three more kinds of B-rank blood to solve your problem, and then I can finally give your parents an answer. When we get back, I’ll go to the Ocean Hunter Association and use my highest clearance to post a bounty for you. I’m sure we’ll have them all very soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could easily kill any kind of B-rank sea beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he said, B-rank sea beasts were rare and difficult to track. Even if he went to sea to hunt them himself, he could kill a hundred sea beasts in ten days and not find a single one that had reached B-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The efficiency is too low.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Posting a bounty is more reliable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming nodded and handed the various bags from his shopping trip to Yellow Cannon, asking him to take them to the captain’s cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Carrying all this stuff was a pain, even if it wasn’t tiring.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Fortune rumbled to life. Having left the Dinglan Field, it picked a random direction and sped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the captain’s cabin, the Map of the Endless Sea lay spread across an antique wooden table. Shi Ming took a drop of blood from the B-rank Eight-armed Hunter and let it fall onto the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHIMMER!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The azure sea chart materialized once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There really are far fewer B-rank sea beasts in the waters patrolled by the Twelve Stars than in other regions!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The nearest one is 677 nautical miles away.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But it doesn’t matter. I have the Map of the Endless Sea.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Set a course, 277 degrees. Sail for 650 nautical miles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Once we’re out of the waters under the Twelve Stars’ jurisdiction, I’ll use the Brain of Creation to upgrade the Sun-Shooter to General-class.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder what kind of pleasant surprises a General-class wandering ship will bring.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the map’s blue light faded, Shi Ming stared at the antique chart, a sudden curiosity sparked within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In the European Region, besides that Deep Sea Titan... how many other S-rank sea beasts are lurking there?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the sea chart and poured his Awakening Power into it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-03T14:04:11.740Z","2026-06-03T14:04:14.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","4f8b05b954afe6c5b2b566a17947dc647cf243be3678281ca721fe4e9bcf877d","endless-ocean-survival-begins-with-a-dugout-cano-chapter-93","endless-ocean-survival-begins-with-a-dugout-cano-chapter-91",286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-ocean-survival-begins-with-a-dugout-cano-cover.jpg"]
