I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 104: Since it is a voyage, the black flag is indispensable
"If you're referring to the special energy produced by the moon, it's indeed recorded in the database."

Feng Xue had only asked casually to relieve his boredom, but he had never expected Sarah to actually give an answer -

"Currently, there are six publicly recorded gods who possess authority over the moon. Due to the unique nature of celestial worship, in addition to these six, there are also a large number of related gods, both new and ancient. Because Terran civilization is severely fragmented and difficult to count, it is impossible to give a specific number of gods. However, what is certain is that in the past hundred years, more than twenty moon-related gods have fallen, and no more than ten have been born."

"Why did you change your address again?" Feng Xue keenly noticed that Sarah used honorifics to address him again, and couldn't help but tease him. Sarah responded pragmatically:

"You possess no nano-units or other related equipment, yet are able to sense changes in divine power and possess multiple items of varying divine power. Furthermore, you possess a distinct lack of common sense. Your identity is presumed to have changed. 81.1% is believed to be a favored member of a certain indigenous civilization based on faith, 13.4% is believed to be a test subject of a previous civilization whose containment has failed, 4.3% is believed to be a recently awakened remnant of a previous civilization, and 1.2% is believed to be the incarnation of a deity. While this is a low probability event, according to the Ocean Exploration and Interaction Act, you should be treated with basic respect."

Although Sarah's speech was as cold as ever, Feng Xue always felt that she seemed to have put emphasis on the word "foundation".

Feng Xue could only laugh dryly at this, narrowed his eyes and began to practice. However, because he was moving on the sea, he did not draw out the vital energy of more than ten years to wrap himself up as usual. Instead, he only drew out a small amount of vital energy to feed his soul like a normal cultivator.

Of course, having said that, the amount he extracted each time was also the monthly output of an ordinary Xuan cultivator. Even if his soul put all its strength into absorbing it, he could only absorb one-tenth or one-twelfth of it before the vital energy was blown away by the sea breeze.

But Feng Xue didn't care about this waste. When the vital energy was left behind by the ship, he extracted another strand. However, this time, he did not forget to let Mingbao absorb it at the same time.

Although there would still be some waste of energy if Mingbao didn't produce the scroll, Feng Xue didn't need to worry about that little loss - or rather, it was a test in itself.

After roughly estimating the progress of his soul's growth, Feng Xue was quite satisfied. The soul that had just grown into a "stickman" body from the sphere seemed still a long way from qualitative transformation. However, according to the normal Xuan cultivation method of nurturing and drawing on it, it would take about thirty years to enter the Dao. With his practice method of replenishing his soul every time, it would take about one to two years to reach the threshold of the Dao. (Note ①)

With the progress bar, Feng Xue's motivation for cultivation was much greater, and he became somewhat bolder in drawing vital energy. However, his boldness made Sarah, who was standing beside him, green with envy.

That's high-quality bioenergy!

Although the loss is only a few percent each time, after more than ten minutes, it will be a few tenths of a unit! Although it looks like the energy of several kilograms of fish, it is actually not that easy to calculate.

For Sarah, although food and electricity can be quickly converted into usable energy, they are just usable, just like humans replenishing glucose when using their brains intensively. Once used, it is used. But if you don’t use it up and want to preserve it, you have to convert it into a form that can be stored in the body of the phantom beast.

Not to mention the loss problem caused by the back-and-forth conversion, first of all, the conversion process requires the consumption of other substances and time. If there is insufficient material or the conversion cannot be completed before the energy is lost, it will cause waste.

In comparison, the bioenergy provided by Feng Xue can be absorbed almost instantly, and the proportion of conversion into reserve energy is over 97%, which is even more useful than military supply packs.

It's like you can pan out gold sand from river sand, but it doesn't affect your feelings about throwing the gold sand into the sea.

However, the AI's underlying code contained a clause prohibiting the seizure of friendly resources. Feng Xue, who had signed the interactive agreement, was a true ally, even if he lacked "human rights." Therefore, without his permission, no matter how much he envied it, he could only let it slip away. ...

The boring time passed slowly. The circular current that Sarah had blown so dangerously didn't even bring any noticeable feeling. Feng Xue occasionally corrected the course and spent most of the rest of the time in a daze and boring sailing. He spent the third night in this world. When the sky was lit up by the sun again, Sarah suddenly spoke:

"We have left the jurisdiction of the Blue Lake Island Chain and are currently located between the Emerald and Cradle Islands. We are expected to enter the jurisdiction of the Titan Island Chain in seventeen hours. Please remain vigilant."

"Beware of what?"

Although he had not been notified in advance, Feng Xue immediately perked up when he heard the word "alert" and stood on the boat like a stake.

He is not one of those people who make a living on the sea. These days he goes out to sea in a fishing boat without getting seasick. This is because he relies on the practice of meditation to regulate his body balance.

Hearing the need to be alert, he immediately began to move his body, and Sarah's explanation came at the same time -

"The sovereignty of the gaps between the island groups is unclear, and criminals often appear there. The Cradle Islands and the Emerald Islands are relatively close to each other, and without the people of the sea to act as a buffer, pirates are particularly rampant."

"Pirate? You seemed to have mentioned before... Landseeker?"

Feng Xue's movements shifted from stillness to movement, and she used this movement to ask a question. Upon hearing this, Sarah immediately popped up a pie chart projection.

"While land seekers are classified as pirates, according to statistics from the past thirty years, true land seekers now only account for 7% of the total number of pirates, while land seekers who engage in part-time criminal activities account for 32%, and 61% are pure pirates who only engage in illegal activities. But don't worry, the Cradle Islands are the weakest of the seven major island groups, so the pirate forces operating here won't be too strong..."

"Yes, yes, the East China Sea is also the weakest sea." Feng Xue rolled his eyes. He understood this plot very well, but Sarah obviously didn't get the meaning of Feng Xue's words. She shook her head and said:
"If the East China Sea you're referring to refers broadly to the area between the Chifeng, Liberty, Coral, and Carnival Islands, then it's not weak at all. According to the latest power assessment, the East China Sea branch is the strongest naval branch, with a distinguished-level Sea God's Follower stationed there. It controls 30% of the world's oceans and is second only to the Navy Headquarters in strength."

"..." Feng Xue listened to Sarah's story, feeling a growing sense of déjà vu. Just as he was about to ask about the navy, Sarah's screen suddenly glowed red. Then, Gouzi turned his head to the left. While Feng Xue was staring at her, Sarah had already given him the answer.

"Radar scan detected, estimated distance 20km~30km (Note ②), please prepare for contact!"

"How many?!"
