Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 111 Miss Yan?
A food workshop?

Shi Ming's lips twitched slightly.

Technology changes lives!
Did those dead fish know that their bodies were being used so efficiently?
After catching his breath and regaining his mental strength, Shi Ming used his last upgrade opportunity of the day on the ship's crystal extraction equipment. Although it couldn't earn money as quickly as hunting, it was stable, and little by little, the profits would add up to a very good amount in the long run!
【Dome Crystal Extraction Equipment】

【Level: 5】

[It can keenly capture the special energy in the ocean, reconstructing and condensing it into energy-rich crystals. While the purity of these crystals is unstable, they remain rare energy stones, containing 60-90 times the energy of high-grade sea crystals. The daily extraction efficiency can reach 20 crystals, with a slight increase in areas with abnormal sea crystal concentrations.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 300 Dome Crystals, 300 Iron Ore, 1 Skynet Smart Chip]

After finishing his business, he went from the equipment room to the ship's dining area.

The new food workshop was set up here, and the crew members were already used to the novelties the captain brought out.

They all now believed that the captain was a high-ranking warrior of the Dragon Kingdom, a true elite of a powerful force, currently honing his skills alone abroad, and that upon his return, he would shoulder great responsibilities. Such a person deserved the best resources imaginable.

Shi Ming looked at the strange machine.

Is it really that amazing?

He tried using a few keywords that he had temporarily come up with on the control panel of the machine.

Roast duck, dipping sauce, scallions, cucumber, flatbread...

That was one of the foods he loved to eat in his previous life.

All that could be heard was the clanging of the machine as a large number of sea fish were swept into its internal compartment. After a complex and tedious process, just as Shi Ming was about to lose his patience, a steaming dish was conveyed out from the assembly line on the side.

Shi Ming was dumbfounded when he saw it.

A roasted duck, glistening with oil, is stuffed with scallions and cucumbers. Its crispy skin is drizzled with a brown dipping sauce, resembling a cake covered in cream. Small flatbreads are arranged around it, like decorations...

What kind of artificial stupidity is this?

We still need to hand it over to Lao Yang for a second handling!
……

……

……

In the following days, Shi Ming piloted the Dayun, roaming the waters of Europe, killing dozens of sea monsters with his blade, while his own points steadily increased.

[Stone Inscription]

Attack Power: 77 (Base Attack Power)

Stamina: 82 (Physical Fitness)

[Endurance: 90 (ability to sustain combat)]

[Defense: 120 (Standard defense without skill activation, which can be further divided into resistance to attacks and recovery ability)]

[Mental Strength: Unknown]

Meanwhile, the ship's equipment was upgraded step by step.

The pharmaceutical production equipment, beer machines, submachine guns, and shipboard infrastructure that Shi Ming had been planning for a long time were all upgraded.

The intelligence obtained by the Eye of Intelligence is just ordinary information about sea monsters. When combined with the Endless Sea Map, it is converted into points or resources.

He didn't sell the sea beast corpses after absorbing their blood. The corpses of D-level and C-level sea beasts didn't fetch high prices due to the lack of blood, so Shi Ming simply extracted their essence and used it as a delicacy, enjoying a gluttonous feast every day between battles and training.

To improve physical fitness more quickly and steadily, the most essential thing is to eat real meat.

Gradually, Shi Ming also discovered a strange phenomenon.

After awakening on Turtle Island, some of the original owner's characteristics began to fade slowly. Now, his body, appearance, and even some details are gradually changing towards his former self as his strength grows.

But this change is subtle and cumulative.

Ordinary sailors see Shi Ming every day and find it difficult to appreciate the difference between them.

Even those with good memories would believe that Shi Ming gradually shed his pretense and returned to his true self during his interactions with them.

Shi Ming couldn't understand this change either, but slowly returning to his familiar body was always a good thing!
"What secrets does that shattered Eye of God pendant hold?" "Perhaps, I will be able to unravel this mystery when my strength reaches a higher level."

On this day, Shi Ming returned to the Twelve Stars to deliver a B-level sea beast hunting mission to an employer.

This is the only task he has taken on recently.

After completing the delivery and receiving 30 Dome Crystals, he was about to leave when he saw a drifting ship emerging from the shadow of the Twelve Stars in the distance.

This ship is classic and imposing, clearly not an ordinary vessel. It is as sturdy as a weapon forged by a craftsman, and the hull is engraved with the Albert family crest, which resembles a Gallic rooster.

Wright de Albert stood at the bow of the ship, with six men behind him.

Shi Ming has excellent eyesight; he can see the details of these seven people even without a telescope.

Wright stood at the very front, his armor gleaming brightly.

Ize stood at the very back, in an inconspicuous position.

Standing closely beside Wright was a stern man who exuded an air of authority. His body crackled with electricity from time to time, suggesting that he, like Wright, was also an awakened being with the lightning attribute. However, his demeanor was in stark contrast to Wright's; he lacked any warmth and was aloof and unapproachable.

The third person was a young man with dreadlocks and scars on his face. Judging from his skin color, he should be from the land of black gold.

The fourth person, a middle-aged man carrying a sword, has very obvious characteristics of a person from the Woguo Kingdom.

The fifth person is a young man with a typical European appearance, wearing the Albert family crest on his chest. He should be a junior member of the Wright family.

The sixth person was an old man with loose skin but a calm expression, a robust physique, and gentlemanly attire. His cloudy eyes gleamed with intelligence.

This is Wright's hunting squad.

Six men and one woman
The only woman was his disciple, Yi Ze, who had met Shi Ming several times.

Shi Ming watched from afar as the drifting ship emerged from the shadow of the twelve stars.

This is their sixth day of training together. Once they are familiar with each other's combat methods, they will go on to carry out their missions.

"wrong?"

"Didn't the Lighthouse's affiliated general-class drifting ship, Divine Melody, say that it sent a suspected S-class Awakener, Miss Flame, to join Wright's team? And in the past few days, they've been aligning their granularity in the group chat, and everything is proceeding according to plan."

"Why is there only one woman?"

Shi Ming was well aware that the plan had not changed.

In recent days, the Lighthouse has been monitoring the actions of Jinshan and Shenqu in the "Believe in the Light" program. Shi Ming also knows that Miss Yan has indeed joined Wright's team and is undergoing pre-battle training.

Where is Miss Yan?

"Could it be that Miss Yan is a man?"

Shi Ming pondered with great interest.

It's normal for code names to be just for show and not to carry any obvious personal characteristics.

He had many code names in his previous life, such as "Beidou", "Pojun", "Zhanlang", "Wangyang"... He chose them at will, and sometimes when carrying out top-secret special missions, he would change them depending on his mood.

On one special mission, he even adopted the code name "Milk Dragon".

I've only used it once.

However, considering that what Lighthouse does are all shady things, they wouldn't commit crimes under their real names.

Shi Ming thought it was perfectly normal for a woman to dress as a man or for a man to dress as a woman.

It's not impossible that some awakened individuals possess the ability to alter their physical appearance.

But among these people, who exactly is Miss Yan?
Shi Ming was very curious.

S-rank Awakened Ones are absolute variables in missions.
