We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

[Kill the alienated saw shark]

[Trophy obtained: fresh saw shark carcass]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: Material]

[Description: Creatures born in seawater rich in secret power are naturally more powerful, but they are also a high-quality food. 】

[The jagged snout might be a good weapon, right? 】

[Note: You can only bring back one piece of loot per dive, so please choose carefully. 】

"Just a trophy? Who are you looking down on?"

Xia En secretly complained.

At this moment, a few more lines of prompts flashed on the gray panel.

[It has been detected that "Secret Sea Crystal" is present in the corpse. Should it be absorbed? 】

【Secret Sea Crystal】

[Quality: Rare]

[Type: Material]

[Description: The crystals condensed from the secret power in the ocean can be directly absorbed by the "Eye of the Secret Sea" to improve the ship soul level and ship attributes. 】

[Remember, it is alive! 】

"Is there such a good thing?"

Xia En's eyes lit up and his heart beat violently.

He had been curious before about how [Ship Soul Level] could be improved, and now he finally got the answer.

"absorb!"

Shane made his decision without hesitation.

A piece of faint blue crystal floated out from the Saw Shark's belly and merged directly into the body of the projection.

Immediately, a refreshing and cool breath surged up, flowing through the limbs and bones, which was very comfortable.

at the same time.

There was a burst of cheering in Shane's ears, as if to express his gratitude.

If he guessed correctly, this was exactly the emotion conveyed by [Black Swan].

The connection between him and the ship spirit seems to have become closer because of this.

[Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (2%)]

By this time, Xia En basically understood the use of the talent [Deep Sea Scuba Diving].

Not only can you hunt sea beasts, obtain the [Secret Sea Crystals] in their bodies, and fight monsters to upgrade.

You can also find out the situation on the seabed in advance and obtain sufficient information.

After that, whether you go to sea yourself or send out salvagers, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

He can even control the projection body to assist the crew in salvage.

At this moment, Xia En noticed something like a progress bar in the lower right corner of his field of vision, which was still shortening.

Open the panel to view.

【Projection Body】

[Ship Soul Asylum: When submerged, the projected body can move freely in the sea water. 】

[But when the power of the ship soul is exhausted, it will automatically exit the submersible state. 】

[Ship Soul Power LV1: 89/100]

While checking, Xia En watched helplessly as the number of the ship's soul power dropped from "90" to "89."

Obviously, just being in the sea water is constantly consuming the power of the ship's soul.

"This is like an oxygen tank during diving. If it drops to 0, the projected body will be destroyed."

"Moreover, attacking or being attacked seems to accelerate its loss."

"Perhaps the depth of the seawater also has an effect?"

"On the other hand, increasing the [sturdiness] attribute of the ship and raising the level of the ship's soul can increase the time spent on the seabed."

Anyway, this was his first exploration. Xia En didn't care much about the gains from this trip, but focused more on exploring the rules.

This is exactly the same as his way of playing games in his previous life.

Thus, in the process of exploring the rules and searching abandoned houses, the first [submersible] ended.

【Please choose your trophy! 】

【1. A clock full of rust】

【2.Damaged wooden board】

【3.Fresh Saw Shark Carcass】

As Xia En expected, this ruins had long been looted.

Although he killed some underwater creatures one after another, none of them exploded [Secret Sea Crystal].

Qianhai's explosion rate is obviously not too high.

In the end, the most valuable harvest was the shark's carcass.

Xia En opened his eyes and his mind returned to the captain's cabin.

In front of him, there lay a tragically dead saw shark. The shark was still wet, soaking the floor of the captain's cabin, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

"Is this thing... edible?"

Xia En touched his chin and asked the most classic question from the Foodie Empire.

Although the description said it was an ingredient, he remembered that shark meat contained a large amount of urea and would taste like urine.

"Maybe alienated sharks will be different?"

Because the seawater flooded the land of the previous era, things containing secret powers in the city leaked into the ocean, causing large-scale [extraordinary pollution], which led to widespread alienation of marine life.

Both body shape and physiological structure are obviously different from the creatures on earth.

In the deep sea, there are countless terrifying sea monsters with strange abilities.

"Whether it tastes good or not, you'll know if you try it later, but you still have to explain the origin of this shark to Joey..."

As soon as Xia En's mind turned around, he came up with an excellent idea.

…

…

A moment later, on the deck.

"Mr. Captain, what are you doing?"

Looking at Shane who took out a long fishing rod, Joey showed a puzzled expression.

Xia En said rationally and confidently: "Why, haven't you seen fishing?"

"Well, you're probably tired too. Just go find a room and rest for a while. I'll call you when I catch a fish."

On the ship, the captain’s orders are louder than the sky.

Joey happened to be a little tired, so he honestly walked into the cabin to rest.

"Captain Shane, you are quite a nice person."

Lying on the wooden bed, Joey thought to himself.

From just spending half a day together, he could see to some extent that although the captain had a somewhat eccentric temperament and behavior, he was essentially a good person.

Because of this, Joey, who was hiding something, felt a little uneasy.

the other side.

Shane had already fixed the fishing rod on the edge of the boat. After casually loading the bait and casting the rod, he sat down on a stool nearby.

In fact, Xia En had no experience in sea fishing. Fishing was not only a way to kill time, but also a reasonable excuse for the saw shark's body.

It's best if you can catch it, but it doesn't matter if you can't catch it.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia En began to think about his next plan.

"Including interest, I have to pay back a total of 350 silver snake coins."

"This is a huge amount of money, enough to buy the entire Black Swan."

"If you want to pay off this money, it will take a lot of time just to explore such small ruins in the offshore waters. Only by going to farther seas can you make a fortune."

Xia En narrowed his eyes. He remembered that there was an underwater ruin called "Coral City" near Duke Island.

It was once the prosperous capital of a kingdom, with many buildings, a vast area, and an extremely complex environment.

To this day, the secret treasures in the city have not been fully discovered.

"However, the dangers in the open sea are far greater than those in the near sea."

Of course, it goes without saying that there are dangers under the sea. More importantly, there is often a presence near larger ruins that makes ordinary ships frightened——

Pirate Ship!

Since ancient times, the golden belt of murder and arson has been an unchanging law, especially in this chaotic sea.

Going to the bottom of the sea to salvage is very dangerous, so wouldn't it be better to just rob the salvage ship?

Even many salvage ships themselves don’t mind playing the role of pirate ships occasionally.

Small and medium-sized ships like the Black Swan are easy targets for pirates.

"My current combat power is probably only at the level of a first-order Mystic Pathfinder."

"It's okay to meet ordinary fish pirates, but if you run into a big pirate on the bounty list, you probably won't be able to escape."

In this regard, Xia En is still somewhat self-aware.

"The primary goal now is to dive into the deep sea every day and not lose anything we can catch. It is best to find a long-term exploration relic under the sea."

"Secondly, it is to improve the strength of ourselves and the Black Swan."

Xia En silently set two small goals in his mind, and then thought: "I have to ask Joey what he knows and whether he is qualified to work as a salvage worker."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was a crew column on the panel, so he opened it and took a look.
