Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 106 Making Money, Selling!
"Captain, should we go back?"

Although the crew members didn't get a glimpse of the horrifying appearance of the rotting whale, they were no fools, having spent years at sea. They could deduce from the smell that a terrifying sea monster had just passed them by.

Now that the stench has dissipated, does it mean that the sea monster has gone far away?
"No need, let's return to the Twelve Stars."

Shi Ming looked at the glacier dragon lying on the deck.

It's not good to leave this Class A sea monster on the deck any longer; it's time to get rid of it.

If I'm not mistaken, the formation of the Eye of Extreme Cold was caused by the leakage of the Formless Pure Ice from the earth's veins. Now that I have obtained the Formless Pure Ice, the Eye of Extreme Cold no longer exists, and the energy of the sea crystals there will return to normal.

There's no need to go back.

As for that half-rotten whale...

Shi Ming thought it was best not to provoke it.

Putting aside whether he could actually defeat it, the stench alone was enough to make anyone who could tolerate it abnormal. In this area of ​​Europa, two S-class sea beasts had been detected, and Shi Ming preferred to challenge the Deep Sea Titan in the deep sea.

Moreover, it should be known that after bathing in the blood of a high-level sea beast, there is a certain probability that the body will exhibit the characteristics of that sea beast.

For example, Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) represents hardness.

High defense and strong recovery ability.

If, after bathing in the blood of that rotting whale, one side of its body rots and oozes pus while the other side remains intact...

Gee tut.

Shi Ming suddenly understood Edward's state of mind at the time, except that he could cover up the seven eyes on his chest with cloth.

Regardless, this decaying whale was the first S-class sea beast in its prime that Shi Ming had ever seen. Just a glimpse from afar was enough for him to gain a deeper understanding of this powerful creature.

Unlike Class A sea monsters, they possess an innate, flamboyant "presence".

It seemed to be an oppressive force emanating from their very blood, naturally surpassing ordinary creatures. Even the most powerful A-level sea beasts would feel ashamed in their presence, the difference between them as vast as the sky and the earth.

"If you want to kill an S-class sea monster all by yourself, you probably still have a long way to go!"

But with his own extraordinary experiences and ambition, Shi Ming believed that this gap could be bridged soon.

……

In the captain's cabin, he looked inward at the "Pure Ice Without Form" in his system's inventory.

Strictly speaking, this is not phaseless pure ice, but rather "unformed phaseless pure ice".

This was his biggest find on the trip, even more valuable than the ice dragon lying on the deck. You see, it was originally supposed to be the "Formless Pure Ice," ranked 48th in the list of wonders of the endless ocean. It had been buried in the polar ley lines for thousands of years, but due to an accident, it was only one step away from taking shape.

Ranked 48th on the list of rare items!

What a concept!
Even with such a bugged map like Endless Ocean, it's only ranked outside the top 100!
The 48th ranked artifact was something Shi Ming couldn't even imagine how magical it could be.

Unfortunately, it leaked out due to the movement of continental plates, losing its chance to take shape. But it was precisely because of this that Shi Ming had the opportunity to obtain it. To remedy this defect and make it a true formless pure ice, 1000 pure crystals are needed to upgrade it using the power of the Brain of Creation.

1000 Pure Crystals!
That's equivalent to 10000000 high-grade sea crystals!
According to the bounty offered by the Black Society and Kingsoft, it's worth half of his own.

We need to find a way to make money quickly!

This place is more than 200 nautical miles away from the location of the twelve stars.

The Dayun ship recently overheated and is currently in a cooling-off state, so its sailing speed is not very fast.

He took out the "Ocean Hunter Terminal" he had obtained from the Twelve Stars, opened it, and prepared to scan for buyers of A-rank sea beast corpses so he could dispose of the Glacier Dragon as soon as possible. If not, he would post a sale request and look for potential trading partners.

"Let me see what A-level related tasks are available."

Missions related to A-level sea monsters are all high-level missions, and there aren't many of them on the Ocean Hunter terminal.

At the very top of the list is still the "Bounty for A-level Sea Beast Blood" mission, which has remained untouched for a full 268 days.

There are several similar tasks, all of which have gone unattended. The reason for this is, of course, that the reward is insufficient.

The bounty is either "negotiable" or very low, only a mere two or three hundred Pure Crystals... Are you kidding me? To think you can get A-grade sea beast blood for such a price is nothing short of wishful thinking!
Do you really think A-level sea monsters and Awakened Ones are as common as cabbages?

Those who can hunt A-level sea beasts are mostly powerful forces or awakened individuals; none of them are fools willing to sell their prey cheaply!

Selling it off cheaply is not as good as having it awaken a second time myself, or cultivating another A-level awakener for the faction!
Shi Ming searched for a long time but couldn't find anything suitable. He was too lazy to keep searching for something better, so he left the task square and went to the task posting section. Under the name "Stone", he posted a sales ad.

[For Sale: Grade A sea monster carcass. (Does not contain blood! Does not contain blood! Does not contain blood!)]

[Sea Beast Type: Glacier Dragon]

【price:……】

Shi Ming thought for a moment and filled in "negotiable".

He even went up to the deck, took a picture of the glacial dragon, and sent it to the hunter terminal as an attachment.

[Contact information: Private message on the platform or add xxxxxxx]

He didn't use the hunter terminal often, and worried about missing some buyers' messages, so he also filled in his communicator contact information.

This practice of filling in one's private contact information is permitted on the Ocean Hunter platform. After all, they are not like some of the major internet companies in Shi Ming's previous life that need to consider too many things. They merely provide a platform for public transactions and are not responsible for any subsequent matters.

Even if it means being deceived, dying, or losing both money and goods.

Therefore, when accepting tasks and making transactions on the platform, one must have their own ability to discern the truth.

In this situation, some Lv5 hunter accounts, such as the one with Light de Albert, are more trusted, have higher display privileges, and their posted quests are more popular.

People like Shi Ming, who demonstrated A-level Awakened strength during registration, will also have a higher priority.

After posting the sales information, he placed the terminal on the desk next to him, sat in the rocking chair in the captain's cabin, and began a long-awaited relaxation.

The sea breeze blew in through the window, making it especially pleasant.

……

drip.

drip.

drip.

Shi Ming was awakened by the incessant ringing of his communicator.

He stood up from the rocking chair, stretched, and relaxed his body. It was a rare opportunity to relax for several hours, especially after the battle and the nap after awakening. It really reactivated every cell in his body.

Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life!

He picked up his communicator.

Upon inspection, I found over a dozen friend requests, all received within the last few minutes.

He checked the time.

There was a 3-hour delay after the hunter terminal posted the mission, and now nearly five hours have passed. Including the more than 1-hour delay in adding friends via the communicator after seeing the sales information, it means that so many people have added me in just over ten minutes.

While I was wondering what was going on, another friend request came in, this time from the African region.

???

Are so many people interested in the corpse of an A-level sea monster?

In that case, I'll let the highest bidder win.
