Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 207 Extra 9
Jiang Sheng slowly opened his eyes and found that everything around him seemed to have changed.

The familiar streets and buildings were gone, replaced by a vast ocean.

Jiang Sheng felt panicked and confused, not knowing where he was.

The waves all over the sky glowed dazzlingly under the sunlight, seeming to be a magnificent and dangerous picture.

There is a solid wooden board floating next to Jiang Sheng, which is his only support and the only connection between him and the vast sea.

Jiang Sheng looked around and found that he was not alone. Floating on the surface were others, some looking panicked, others relatively calm. Their expressions were different, but they all revealed a sense of helplessness and uneasiness.

Jiang Sheng tried to recall what happened before, and gradually, he remembered everything.

Before he fell into coma, an unprecedented flood occurred in the world, and it was under such circumstances that he was brought here by the huge flood.

just
He doesn't understand.

Why does this all seem so incongruous.

Floods, planks, game prompts, sharks... everything is like a bizarre dream, but yet so real. He knew he had to calm down and face the challenge before him.

As he swam, his hand touched a hard object, and he used all his strength to drag it to the surface. It turned out that it was a broken wooden box filled with various sundries.

"."

"What the hell is this? Am I involved in some kind of game?" Jiang Sheng was confused, but he had no time to continue thinking because the sharks on the sea were already approaching them.

Listening to the voice in his head, Jiang Sheng had an incredible expression on his face.

Some survivors lost control of themselves with fear and even started scrambling for boards. The situation was chaotic for a time, and everyone was struggling desperately for their own survival.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Sheng jumped directly into the sea.

There are too many people here and very limited supplies.

Hunger, storms, waves, water.
These are issues that he urgently needs to solve.

It is clearly marked on it, the direction in which the wooden boards can be upgraded.

After thinking about it, he quickly picked up a piece of wood and used it as a paddle, and rowed the plank away into the distance.

"Players please rely on the wooden planks around you to survive!"

but
Where to find these supplies?
Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng suddenly saw something floating on the sea.

how so!
This is all incredible!
Just as he was marveling, he suddenly heard bursts of exclamations in the distance.

Jiang Sheng took a closer look. Shark!

He continued to search the surrounding sea and found more floating objects. Sometimes it's broken boards, sometimes some discarded items, and even some abandoned fishing nets.

Jiang Sheng frowned when he saw this scene.

"Don't panic, everyone! Stand on the board quickly." Jiang Sheng tried to stabilize everyone's emotions and led everyone to deal with the situation at hand.

However, the crisis on the sea is not just for sharks.

"Apocalyptic sea survival begins."

He tried his best to collect these resources. Although he was somewhat unable to do so, he knew that only in this way could he survive in this sea area.

He looked around and saw other survivors doing the same thing, trying to avoid the dangers of the sea.

But the chaos soon ended. With the sharks unable to obtain food around them, they gradually moved away from the sea.

Just when he was confused, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Sheng realized that they were facing not only the threat of the ocean, but also the test of human nature.

But soon, he thought of the game prompts in his mind.

As Jiang Sheng had an idea, a game interface appeared in his mind.

These are all floating on the sea after the human world was swept by a great flood. .

While supporting them, they did not fall into the sea and die.

upgrade!

At the same time, upgrade the required supplies.

Jiang Sheng was stunned by the sight in front of him.

"To do this, we will provide players with scalable services."

When Jiang Sheng jumped into the sea, he felt the cold water swallowing him up immediately. He swam desperately, trying to get closer to the floating objects.

Jiang Sheng desperately climbed onto the wooden board next to him. Fortunately, although the wooden board was simple, it could support his standing.

Although there were many people around him, everyone seemed to have a wooden board beside them.

Seemingly aware of Jiang Sheng's actions, others began to imitate Jiang Sheng in obtaining supplies on the sea.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng knew what to do.

Jiang Sheng couldn't wait to open the wooden box, which contained some dry food, a bottle of water and a rusty knife. Although it is not a lot, it is already a luxury for them.

Only by obtaining these materials on the sea can you upgrade the wooden boards, so that you can survive the extreme weather in the future!

However, not everyone can stay calm.

There is no need to stay with them and rob.

At this time, Jiang Sheng was not sure whether these materials were remnants of the original world or were refreshed by the game.

If the setting is the remaining materials from the original world, it means that the quantity of materials is limited!

We are now in the early stages of the catastrophe, and the supplies are at their most abundant, so we must obtain them as much as possible!
Otherwise, these supplies will only become less and less in the future.

Jiang Sheng worked hard to find various resources on the sea that could help them survive. During his search, he found a number of floating planks and debris.

Although these planks may look damaged, they can still be used to build a larger shelter. He began dragging the ropes back to his board.

In addition to wooden boards and debris, Jiang Sheng also found some other supplies. He found some dry food, not much, but enough to sustain them for a while.

In addition, he also found some clean water, which was a very precious resource for them. He also found some medical supplies that could help them deal with possible injuries.

As time went by, Jiang Sheng collected more and more supplies. In addition to basic survival supplies, he also found some tools and materials. These tools and materials are very important to them as they help them in construction and repair work to make their shelter more stable.

However, Jiang Sheng also encountered some challenges.

Sometimes the waves would sweep him around, making his search difficult.

Sometimes he needs to risk diving underwater to find deeper resources, which makes him feel very nervous and worried.

But no matter what difficulties he encountered, Jiang Sheng persisted in searching because he knew that only in this way could he survive in this sea area.

According to the game settings, in order to complete the upgrade of wooden boards, in addition to the basic wooden boards, more resources are required.

This may include more wood, metal, or other specialty materials.

Seeing that his board could no longer accommodate any more things, he rowed the board again and headed towards where the crowd gathered.

After arriving here, Jiang Sheng also shouted loudly: "Do you need to trade? I have some food and water here. These are important materials for survival in the future! If necessary, you can get wooden boards and Metal in exchange!”

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, everyone around him was stunned.

Why didn't they think of using the materials in their hands to trade?
Suddenly, everyone began to look at their harvest.

Some people who do not have sufficient food and water sources, when they feel their stomachs are empty, they immediately shout to Jiang Sheng: "I have a wooden board here! I need some food!"

"I have some here too! I need some drinking water!"

"."

It has to be said that food and water sources are the scarcest and most important at present.

After all, these are consumables, and you need to get new ones after eating and drinking.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng shouted directly: "My food and drinking water are also very limited, so who of you wants it?"

"I!"

"I!"

"I want it! I can give you some more boards!"

"."

Jiang Sheng picked the one with the highest bid and gave half of the food and drinking water in his hand to the other party.

At the same time, some metals were obtained from other people.

[If the conditions for plank upgrade are met, do you want to upgrade the plank? 】

Hearing the voice in his mind, Jiang Sheng rowed the board hard and reached a distance. After making sure that others could not see it, he slowly said: "Upgrade!"

In an instant, Jiang Sheng was sure.

The wooden board that was originally only three square meters instantly turned into a small wooden boat.

The area on the ship has also suddenly been upgraded to more than 20 square meters.

Looking at the boat, which was much more spacious than before, Jiang Sheng's face showed a look of joy.

Jiang Sheng stood on the newly upgraded boat, feeling the surging water under the hull, and felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. Not only does this small boat provide more space, it also means their ability to move around the sea will be greatly enhanced.

He looked around and saw other survivors working hard to collect resources, build shelters, or trade.

This sea area is full of hope for survival, but it also hides countless challenges and dangers.

Even if the upgrade has been successful, it will still be difficult for this small boat to persist once it faces big waves.

Just when he was thinking about how to obtain more resources.

Suddenly there was something like a map in his mind.

On this map, various material information is marked.

Jiang Sheng was stunned by this discovery.

How could such an extra thing suddenly appear?

Jiang Sheng was surprised, and he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart. Where did this sudden map come from? Is it the setting of the game or other reasons? He began to think about the possible meaning and role of this map.

Perhaps this map is some kind of reward, an auxiliary tool provided by the game system to help survivors survive better.

If this is the case, then they can locate and obtain various resources more effectively and improve their survivability.

But on the other hand, Jiang Sheng was also worried. The sudden appearance of this map may mean that there is some unknown power or risk.

He must treat it with caution and not easily trust all the information on this map, lest he fall into greater danger.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Sheng decided to try to use this map to obtain some resources, but at the same time, he had to remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with possible unexpected situations at any time.

This map can be a double-edged sword, offering hope but also hidden dangers. He must act cautiously and protect himself and those around him.

Jiang Sheng decided to first try to use this map to guide them to a resource-rich area.

He carefully studied the marks on the map and determined a location not too far from their current location. According to the map, there should be a large amount of food and clean water resources there.

With curiosity and expectation about the unknown, Jiang Sheng led his boat and started sailing.

They encounter some minor challenges along the way, but thanks to the boat's upgrades and their skills, they successfully overcome them.

Finally, near the location marked on the map, they discovered an abandoned island.

The island is covered with various plants, and the surrounding sea is rich in marine life resources. Jiang Sheng was secretly happy, this was exactly the rich resource place indicated on the map.

They began to collect various plants, pick fruits and catch seafood on the island. At the same time, they also found some useful tools and supplies on the island, such as fishing nets, fuel and some medical supplies.

After a lot of hard work gathering, their boat was loaded with a variety of resources.

Jiang Sheng was very satisfied. He realized that this map not only brought them hope, but also was a valuable resource.

But at the same time, he was also clearly aware that this map might hide more secrets.

He decided to continue exploring to see if he could find more useful information and possible ways out.

Although this island can be considered a very good resource, he currently does not have the ability to protect this island by himself.

If you occupy it by force, you will definitely face disaster in the future.

Jiang Sheng, who knew his current weight, could only give up here temporarily and continue to drive the boat into the distance.

This journey was not easy, sometimes encountering wind and waves, and sometimes unexpected situations at sea, but Jiang Sheng always maintained optimism and firm belief.

After a period of sailing, they discovered a small island that seemed more habitable than the previous one. The island has gentle terrain, dense vegetation, and the surrounding waters are also rich in marine resources. The island seems to be an ideal habitat, providing them with safe and abundant living conditions.

Jiang Sheng decided to dock on this island and conduct further exploration and development.

For a whole day, Jiang Sheng saw a lot of supplies on the island, but some supplies could not be loaded in his boat.

Fortunately, after his search, he really collected enough upgrade resources.

For an instant.

After choosing to upgrade, his small wooden boat was upgraded again.

The small boat that was originally only about twenty square meters has now grown to a full sixty or seventy square meters!

In such a large space, there is more maneuverability.

What resources are most important at sea today?

Fresh water, food.
But there is another resource that can be seen everywhere on the island, but it is very scarce at sea, and that is soil!
Without thinking much, Jiang Sheng immediately dug a lot of soil onto the boat and transplanted a lot of fruit-bearing vegetation on the boat.

These are the things he will rely on to survive on the sea in the future.

After this trip, he not only completed another upgrade of the wooden boat, but also collected enough wood for the next upgrade.

But the problem now is that he has no metal.
The next upgrade may be because the hull is too large, so more metal materials are required for the upgrade.

He could only sail again.

According to the direction of the small map in his mind, he started looking for metal materials.

soon.

On a vast sea, Jiang Sheng saw a dilapidated hull.

The ship was unable to sail due to the collision.

All we can do is float on the sea and let the waves roll. .

Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.

Isn't this the metal I need most?
Although this ship is not only made of metal, the metal is enough for him to modify and upgrade his ship.

After completing the collection of metals on the ship, the system prompt was triggered again.

[If the conditions for plank upgrade are met, do you want to upgrade the plank? 】

Jiang Sheng directly chose to upgrade without any hesitation.

In an instant, the boat was upgraded again!
The sixty-seven-meter-square hull expanded in an instant. Although the space increase brought by this upgrade was not much, his hull was much stronger.

On the surface, they all look like cast metal.

Moreover, he got another prompt from the system.

[The ship level meets the requirements, turn on the ship configuration function, complete the material collection, and you can upgrade the hull configuration]

Jiang Sheng just took a casual glance and saw the current configuration of the ship.

If the previous ships relied on the power of the wind and were sailing ships, today's ships have engines and propellers!
Not only that, it can even be equipped with artillery!
Although the introduction is just similar to the backward artillery of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the cannonballs do not explode and can only fire heavy objects to hit the opponent.

But it is also very rare for Jiang Sheng today!
Just when Jiang Sheng was happy about this, a system prompt sounded throughout the sky.

[The 24-hour novice period is over, and now players will experience the real sea! 】

[The player communication function is turned on, the player trading function is turned on, and the player force formation function is turned on! 】

Listening to the series of sounds from the system, before Jiang Sheng had time to think clearly, he saw something more in his mind.

As soon as a thought came up, something similar to a chat channel appeared in front of him.

Player A: Damn it, what the hell is this! I was exercising with my girlfriend yesterday, and I was just about to launch a fierce attack on her, so she came directly to me? Chen Huan, are you there? Can you see what I said? If you see it, can you come to me? I'm not finished yet!

Player B: Mom, does this have a chat function? Not bad!

Player C: Quick, quick, quick! Brothers, do you have drinking water? So thirsty! My throat is on fire from eating instant noodles! I haven’t drank water for a day, urgent, urgent, urgent! If anyone is willing to sell it, I can exchange it with material trading!
Player D: I want it too! I also want! Food and drinking water are required! You can exchange it for anything!

Watch the messages in the chat channel.

Jiang Sheng was a little surprised.

This function is very good, very user-friendly, and they no longer need to search for transaction partners in this endless sea.

Transactions can be completed directly out of thin air.

Immediately, thinking that he would need a large amount of steel and metal materials for the next upgrade of his ship, Jiang Sheng immediately shouted in the chat channel: "Sell a lot of food! Sell drinking water!"

"Only metal materials are accepted for exchange! Any metal material is acceptable!"

While everyone was still worrying about food and drinking water, Jiang Sheng's progress seemed to be a bit fast.

no way.

He has been to two islands alone.

On the islands, drinking water is the least valuable, and you can get whatever you want.

As for food, in addition to what he collected bit by bit, he also got a lot of fruits, meat, and even rice on the island.

He couldn't eat these things alone.

I brought it with me so that I could find people to trade with.

The information Jiang Sheng posted in the chat channel quickly attracted the attention of other players. They all expressed interest in conducting transactions and began to contact Jiang Sheng. Soon, Jiang Sheng completed a transaction with some other players, exchanging food and drinking water for a large amount of metal materials.

But these people come in all shapes and sizes.

Some are very honest, while others want to take advantage of the situation, saying that metal is a special material and is relatively precious.

In short, Jiang Sheng simply ignored people like this.

Although the trading function has just been launched and there are no prices for things yet, we still need to figure out what is precious, what is scarce, and what is a necessity.

He could neither eat nor drink as long as those metal materials were left.

On the contrary, the food and drinking water that I have now are the real scarce supplies.

It didn't take long for Jiang Sheng to trade a large amount of metal materials according to the amount he expected.

However, these quantities still cannot meet the conditions for upgrade.

In desperation, Jiang Sheng could only continue to collect while conducting transactions.

There is no way, the current players estimate that the ship level is still very low, and they cannot collect more things like metal, so the number they save is very limited.

But in the end, it was through transactions that he helped Jiang Sheng fulfill nearly all of his metal material needs.

For a whole day, Jiang Sheng collected resources toward the resource points marked on the small map in his mind.

Soon, the number of metal materials needed is almost reached.

But at this moment, dark clouds rolled over the city, like a huge dark cloud painting covering the entire sea area.

The waves rolled, and the white waves shone strangely in the darkness, seeming to challenge the sky. The wind was fierce and roaring, turning the sea into turbulent waves and white waves, like thousands of troops galloping forward.

Jiang Sheng's boat looked like a lone boat in this powerful storm, in danger.

He held on to the rudder tightly, and his whole body seemed to be blown away by the strong wind, but he stood firm and refused to give up. The storm on the sea became more and more fierce, as if it would swallow everything up.

The waves were like mountains, one wave higher than the other, as if they were about to engulf Jiang Sheng's boat.

Huge waves rushed towards the bow of the ship, and the sprayed seawater formed white water curtains, blocking the sky and the sun, making it almost impossible to breathe. Jiang Sheng was soaked all over, but he still persisted, trying to control the direction of the boat and looking for hope of survival.

Lightning pierced the sky and thunder roared, as if God was angry.

Jiang Sheng felt the sting of the electric light, but his eyes widened even more, and he did not dare to relax his observation of the sea. Every wave may be a fatal threat, and every lightning may be a disaster. ,

But fortunately for him, the wind and waves came and went quickly. After all, his ship was a semi-metal ship that had been upgraded three times.

In the end, he managed to withstand the storm.

But at this time, the players in the chat channel were not so lucky.

The channel constantly showed that players died in this storm.

Such information notifications, which were like swiping the screen, also made Jiang Sheng feel nervous.

After this period of upgrading, he gradually became immersed in this game-like life, and he even forgot about the horror of this sea area.

Now that he saw so many people completely dead in the sea, he felt vigilant in his heart.

This time he resisted, but what about next time?

Ship upgrades are urgent!
But those players who have weathered the storm are also complaining.

【Oh my god! The newly upgraded ship now only has planks left! 】

【My supplies! ! ! All gone! My food, my water! ! ! 】

[This God, who is hated by others, is playing tricks on people, right? 】

【.】

Seeing their complaints, Jiang Sheng had no intention of getting involved.

There is only a little metal material left before the ship can be upgraded again.

Maybe it will be safer once your ship is completely upgraded to a steel warship.

Jiang Sheng comforted himself in this way, and at the same time embarked on a voyage to find supplies again.

Two hours later.

When Jiang Sheng accidentally picked up a car floating on the sea, Jiang Sheng collected it as a metal material, and the conditions for upgrading his boat were officially met.

[If the conditions for plank upgrade are met, do you want to upgrade the plank? 】

upgrade!

In an instant, the boat was upgraded again!
The hull expanded in a circle, and the hard metal surface shone, as if to declare Jiang Sheng's power. After completing the upgrade, the ship configuration function was refreshed again. Jiang Sheng was full of expectations. He knew that his voyage would be safer and smoother.

At the same time, after completing this upgrade, Jiang Sheng activated new functions again.

Territory construction!
In other words, from this moment on, Jiang Sheng can directly mark the island he encounters as his own territory and complete construction on it!
Jiang Sheng was delighted by this discovery.

I really didn't expect that the system has such a function.

When he left the island before, he was still very heartbroken.

After all, that is a rare land now!
