Survival at Sea: Recruit Top-Tier Mature and Beautiful Schoolgirls at the Start

Ye Hang opened the status bar to check.

Survivor: Ye Hang

[Physical Fitness: 2.7]

[Intuition: 2.7]

【Prophecy Eye (SSS-level Talent)】

"The crew members' ability stats were directly added to my attributes? Is that outrageous?"

"Doesn't this mean that if I improve Chu Mengli's attributes, it's equivalent to directly improving both of our attributes? The effect is doubled."

After a moment's thought, Ye Hang shook his head slightly.

"No, that won't do. In the apocalypse, how can we gamble everything on someone else's loyalty? If Chu Mengli suddenly betrays us, then everything I've spent on her will be lost."

"Although we don't know what conditions would cause the crew to slip out of control, we can't take the risk if there's even a possibility. However, reasonable upgrades are still possible."

"After all, it's double the profit, so you have to find the right balance yourself."

Time flies when you think things through.

As the countdown in the sky reached zero, the Captain's Showdown event came to an end.

The ancient, weathered voice rang out once more.

"Now we enter the third stage of the game. Please reach the designated island within the specified time. You have three days. Survivors who fail to reach the island by the deadline will be swallowed by the waves."

"Map enabled, regional chat room enabled, regional chat room provides regional trading module."

As the words were spoken, a new countdown began, lasting 72 hours.

"A regional chat room?"

Ye Hang raised an eyebrow and opened the chat room interface.

Now, there's an extra button next to the chat room called Regional Chat Room.

After clicking in.

[Chat Room No. 99876677, Number of Participants: 100/100]

"Which big brother is willing to take me in? I have B-level talent, is there any big brother who will take me in?"

"Is there anything to eat? I'll trade wood for it. I'm starving."

……

Messages kept popping up one after another.

It will soon reach 99+

Although it's fast, it's much better than the world chat channel; at least you can still check the messages in time.

Ye Hang left the chat room.

Open the map interface.

In the center of the map is a green dot with an arrow, representing their location and the direction the ship is facing.

There is a red cross in the distance on the map.

That was their destination, showing a distance of 1567 nautical miles.

"1567 nautical miles? I have no idea how fast our little raft can go."

Ye Hang looked at the upper right corner of the map, where it displayed "Speed: 0 knots/hour".

"It seems we need to test it out first."

He glanced at Chu Mengli beside him, but Chu Mengli seemed to be looking at the chat room and didn't notice his gaze.

"Chu Mengli."

He shouted.

Chu Mengli suddenly woke up with a start and looked at Ye Hang nervously, "Yes, I'm here."

Ye Hang was slightly taken aback; Chu Mengli's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

"Could it be that she's afraid I'll force myself on her?" Ye Hang wondered.

He shook his head slightly.

Indeed, Chu Mengli was very much to his liking in terms of both looks and figure. After all, she was a top-notch mature and beautiful school beauty, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't want her anymore.

However, he doesn't like to use force.

Furthermore, there's the crew loyalty system, so directly using force is ultimately not a good idea.

He wanted Chu Mengli to throw herself into his arms; that way, the experience would be much better.

I'll stop thinking about these things.

He refocused his attention on the task at hand.

The most important task now is to survive.

"You should have heard the instructions just now. Now, you take control of the raft and move it at full speed towards the target point."

"Okay, okay."

Chu Mengli responded, her mind taking control of the raft.

The raft began to slowly move towards its destination.

Ye Hang kept observing the ship speeds on the map.

Soon, the speed stabilized at 10 knots per hour.

Ye Hang frowned.

He thought to himself, "Only 10 knots per hour at full speed? That's too slow. At this rate, even if we traveled at full speed day and night, we still wouldn't reach our destination."

"It seems that upgrading the raft is the key. Upgrading the raft should increase its speed, which would make it more likely to arrive at the destination on time."

Ye Hang opened his backpack.

During the first phase of the event, he obtained a considerable amount of supplies.

There are 25 pieces of wood and 32 rolls of rope.

"Let's upgrade and see."

He opened the ship status interface and clicked the ship upgrade button.

A flash of light.

The raft immediately appeared to be larger.

[Ship: Small Raft LV2]

[Next level, Small Raft LV2, requires 15 Wood and 15 Coarse Rope]

Chu Mengli, who was focused on controlling the raft, was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise.

"You upgraded the raft?" she asked.

"From now on, call me Captain!" Ye Hang said seriously.

Chu Mengli was slightly surprised and quickly corrected herself, "Yes, Captain."

Ye Hang nodded slightly.

Chu Mengli didn't ask any more questions and focused on controlling the raft to move forward.

Suddenly, it felt different. The raft became easier to control, and it wasn't as strenuous as before.

Moreover, the raft's speed has increased.

The top speed increased to 12 knots.

"What kind of ability does he have to not only obtain so much equipment, but also so many materials?"

"Now is not the time to think about these things. I have to prove myself useful, otherwise I'll be the next one to be kicked off the ship."

Chu Mengli was very nervous.

In the world chat channel, many sailors were ruthlessly abandoned and thrown into the sea.

Although she has an A-level talent, she could still become a crew member if she encountered someone with an S-level talent who was willing to join her crew.

It's easy to imagine what Ye Hang will choose.

She didn't think Ye Hang was a good person, but he was at least much better than some beasts; at least he didn't force himself on her.

Use force to control the raft to move forward.

Although no paddle was used, it still consumed physical strength.

It's just like actually rowing with a paddle.

Ten minutes later.

Chu Mengli felt weak and had a dry mouth.

Just then.

The raft lit up again.

Her eyes widened.

"How much supplies does he actually have? And he even upgraded the raft again?"

She was studying the map.

It has been discovered that their top speed has now reached 14 knots.

"This is too fast! Others are just getting started, and we've already upgraded our raft to level 3."

"Perhaps, following him wouldn't be bad?"

While steering the raft forward, she carefully opened the chat room, trying her best to keep her little actions undetected.

"This is too exhausting! I'm already half dead after just ten minutes of paddling, my stomach is rumbling, and I haven't eaten anything. At this rate, I don't even know if I'll make it through the day, let alone arrive on time. Where's the floating object? Can't I stumble upon one?"

"Please, sir, would you trade me some water? I'll exchange it for timber."

"I have equipment, please, can I trade it for some food?"

"It's so far, when will this little raft ever reach its destination? If you're going to kill someone, just say so, damn it."

……

A hint of smugness flashed through Chu Mengli's heart.

While others are still struggling to survive, they have already entered the fast lane, and their raft has been upgraded to level three.

At this pace, they are very likely to arrive at their destination on time.

Glug glug~

Just then, her stomach growled; she was hungry.
