Chapter 208: Disaster Survival System (37)

~8 min read 1,576 words

The six types of fruits and vegetables mentioned above were the top six that fellow players most wanted to eat, selected by Xie Yang based on a vote.

Both she and Fu Zhangzheng chose Perfume Lemon and Rosa Roxburghii.

These two fruits may be sour, but they are indeed rich in Vitamin C.

Fellow players, on the other hand, wanted to eat Chili, Bok Choy, Tomato, and Cucumber more.

Fortunately, there is an entire floor dedicated to planting; half is reserved for grain, and of the remaining half, one ridge is set aside for the Lychee, Mango, and Guava that the monkeys like, another patch for seasonings like green onion, garlic, ginger, and cilantro, and the rest of the land is divided into six equal parts to grow the aforementioned six types of fruits and vegetables.

Perhaps the Red Clay allows the crops in the ground to ripen faster in the warm environment of the Cruise Ship.

Plus, the fertilizer made from the Bird Guano Stone and Monkey Dung provided by Chang Lebao played a huge role!

In short, less than seven days after planting, the Bok Choy was ready to eat!

Half a month later, the Tomato and Cucumber also began to bear fruit one after another.

Twenty days later, the Chili ushered in a harvest season, ready to be picked for cooking!

The Perfume Lemon and Rosa Roxburghii also entered their picking seasons one after another.

Xie Yang herself is not short of fruits and vegetables, so after this batch matures, she plans to sell some on the World Channel.

After other fellow players learned of this, they entrusted her to list their surplus for Trading as well, after keeping enough for themselves.

This move by the Dragon Country players made that small portion of other players so jealous they were practically going insane.

They went everywhere inquiring about the coordinates of the Dragon Country players' Cruise Ship.

"Big Boss, I heard some news; someone is spending a fortune to find the whereabouts of your cruise ship, which might be unfavorable to you! You must be careful!"

GY07744 sent a voice message to Xie Yang.

After seeing it, Xie Yang sent a fruit and vegetable gift package to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Big Boss! You are too kind, Big Boss!"

When GY07744 received the gift package and opened it, she discovered it was actually the six types of fruits and vegetables that had been advertised on the World Channel, two to three of each.

It excited her so much that her eyes even welled up with tears.

Her hand speed wasn't as fast as other players, and she hadn't managed to snag a single pre-order on the World Channel; she had been worrying about having no fruits or vegetables to eat in the future, never expecting that a small act of kindness would bring such a great reward!

Over there, Xie Yang was chatting with Fu Zhangzheng about the intelligence she had just received.

Fu Zhangzheng asked her, "Are you afraid?"

Xie Yang raised an eyebrow: "Being afraid is useless. If they really find us, we'll just have to let go and have a fight! It's not certain who will win or lose! Besides, they have to be able to find us first!"

She took out two Navigation Acceleration Cards she had recently opened: "It's time to show the true strength of our big Cruise Ship!"

"Big Boss!"

"Sister Xie!"

Ming Hao ran over in a hurry and knocked on the door of the Cockpit, followed by Chen Shuoyun, whose face had turned pale with fright.

"Things are looking bad, Sister! Chen has been targeted by those black-hearted players! They found him to ask for our coordinates and even threatened him with his parents. It's also Chen's own fault for being careless; once, while trading with a girl from the Beautiful Country, he got carried away chatting and revealed his family's business. He's afraid the other party will come looking for him after returning to reality..."

Xie Yang waved her hand: "It's fine, let him tell them. Remember to ask for some benefits; information shouldn't be given for free, right?"

"Ah?" Ming Hao was dumbfounded, "Then won't we be surrounded? There's more than one group trying to intercept us."

"Mm, I know."

"..."

Knowing that, you still let us reveal the coordinates? Isn't this just courting death?

Ming Hao and Chen Shuoyun followed Xie Yang's instructions, took a photo of their current coordinates, and sent it to the other party, trading for a batch of wild Pork.

Meat is a good thing out on the vast ocean where there's not a village or shop in sight!

The two were overjoyed, but at the same time, they were filled with trepidation:

"Is it really okay?"

"It should be okay, right?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with them! At worst, after returning to reality, I'll just have my dad hire more bodyguards."

"The thing has already happened, regretting it is useless! I believe in Sister Xie! She must have some way; perhaps she wants to lure the enemy into the trap... Huh? Why do I feel a little dizzy? Is the wind and waves very strong?"

The two looked at each other in confusion.

They looked out the porthole in unison, wanting to see if it was windy at sea, causing the Cruise Ship to sway a little.

Only then did they discover that the Cruise Ship seemed to have accelerated, so fast that the seabirds hunting nearby were startled into abandoning the Fish they were about to catch, flapping their wings and darting into the distance.

The Navigation Acceleration Card used by Xie Yang can increase the Cruise Ship's speed by 50%.

One Navigation Acceleration Card can be used continuously for 7 days.

She has two.

This means that by the time other players rushed from other sea areas to the previous coordinates, her big Cruise Ship had already left the original coordinates far behind.

It was useless for the other party to ask Chen Shuoyun for new coordinates again; the big Cruise Ship would always be one step ahead of them.

During this period, Xie Yang continuously traded purified water and fruits and vegetables for Merge Cards.

Every time she traded for one, she would send it to the Regional Channel as a red envelope to merge a fellow player in a Towing Slot, increasing the defense of the Cruise Ship.

If other fellow players opened new Merge Cards, they would also send them to her to use.

Half a month later, when the second Navigation Acceleration Card was exhausted, all fellow players in the Towing Slots had successfully merged with her.

The Maritime Shelter composed of 33 players was completely integrated into a behemoth Cruise Ship with 18 floors, a total weight of 200,000 tons, a total length of 360 meters, and a cruising speed of 28 knots!

During this period, Xie Yang used a Supply Island Dungeon Secret Key once and discovered it was very different from previous Dungeon Secret Keys:

This time, the Cruise Ship could be transported to the Supply Island together, and all players on the Cruise Ship could land on the island for supplies. After 24 hours, the players were ejected back to the Cruise Ship, and the Supply Island disappeared. However, the Cruise Ship would not return to the original coordinates.

In this way, Xie Yang felt she could stir up some trouble... ahem, no, she could conduct an experiment.

She asked Chen Shuoyun to "sell" the big Cruise Ship's coordinates again.

Chen Shuoyun scratched his head: "Sister Xie, they were already scolding me for selling inaccurate coordinates the last two times, suspecting that I photoshopped the images myself; they might not believe me this time."

"It's fine, just send it as it is; this time, it's free."

"..."

Chen Shuoyun felt that if the coordinate information were given away for free, the other party would be even less likely to believe it.

But unexpectedly, at twelve o'clock that night, amidst the silence of the sea, the faint sound of a ship's engine could be heard.

Everyone came out of their respective Rest Cabins and gathered in the banquet hall with the best view and widest field of vision, standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at a... um, cruise ship approaching from the distance that wasn't even half the size of the one they were on.

"Pfft—forgive me for laughing, I know it's not kind!"

"Those idiots! They were clamoring so fiercely on the World Channel, I actually thought they had upgraded to some formidable Cruise Ship! Turns out it's even smaller than the one we had originally! I was worried for nothing!"

"Exactly! They had me on edge for half a month!"

"It's fine now! Everyone go to sleep! Tomorrow will be another beautiful day!"

"Hahahaha..."

The seven-story-tall cruise ship they were talking about likely caught sight of the behemoth as well and slowly came to a stop.

A group of players from the Beautiful Country on the cruise ship gazed at the massive Cruise Ship before them that required them to look up, and they collectively fell into silence.

After a long while, someone cursed: "Shit!"

The leading player from the Beautiful Country, embarrassed and angry, threw the ornament they had been fiddling with: "Still not leaving? Waiting to be discovered and annexed by them? A bunch of morons!"

"..."
