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

The raft glided across the sea, while in the sky, the countdown ticked away second by second.

Three hours have passed now.

After three hours of testing, Ye Hang summarized some patterns.

Just as he had guessed.

Physical condition affects the movement of the raft, and it also affects endurance.

His current physical condition is 2.7, and he only feels slightly tired after moving the raft continuously for an hour.

But if it were Chu Mengli instead, she would be exhausted in just half an hour and have to stop and rest.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

He needs to eat more food and replenish more energy to alleviate his hunger.

Overall, however, it is more cost-effective for people with good physical fitness to control the raft, as they consume less food per 100 kilometers.

Moreover, it's faster.

With this discovery, Ye Hang stopped letting Chu Mengli control the raft.

That's a huge waste of time.

Chu Mengli didn't say anything and obediently went about her duties as a sentry.

Although Ye Hang ignored each time a location was reported, he simply flew past it.

"Captain, a floating object has been spotted at a 23-degree angle to your right."

Chu Mengli mechanically finished reporting the points, then shifted her gaze elsewhere and stopped looking.

Ye Hang activated Eagle Eye and flew over to take a look; the floating object was emitting a green light.

"Huh? The Prophecy Eye doesn't warn of green rare items? It seems Chu Mengli is still somewhat useful?"

Ye Hang steered the raft toward the direction Chu Mengli had reported.

"Captain, why did you change course?" Chu Mengli asked in surprise.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. This is your first time. Could it be that this is something good?"

Ye Hang remained silent, controlling the raft to move quickly.

Five minutes later, they arrived at the floating object.

It was a tattered leather bag with a tear in it, covered in moss, and looked filthy.

Chu Mengli looked at the floating object with disgust. "Captain, are you sure there's anything good in there?"

"Go, pull him out."

"OK."

Chu Mengli reluctantly swung out the grappling hook and pulled the tattered bag back onto the raft.

I opened it casually.

Her eyes widened instantly, and she gasped.

"How is this possible? There's a whole box of instant noodles in this tattered bag, twelve in total."

"They even gave us a solar-powered kettle! That's so thoughtful! Now we can finally eat instant noodles!"

Chu Mengli drooled from the corner of her mouth.

She's been eating nothing but dry bread lately, and it has no flavor at all.

Looking at the group messages again, all the food mentioned was dry bread.

I thought things would stay the same from now on, but unexpectedly they started selling instant noodles in buckets and even gave me a solar-powered kettle.

What a bumper harvest!

"Want some instant noodles? Well, that depends on your performance."

Ye Hang took the instant noodles with a wicked grin.

Chu Mengli pouted and turned her head to the other side.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out."

Ye Hang continued to steer the raft forward while simultaneously opening the regional chat room.

[Chat Room No. 99876677, Number of Participants: 89/100]

"Eleven people are already dead. Looks like they ran into other players?"

Ye Hang glanced at it, then stopped paying attention and focused his gaze on the message bar below.

"That's outrageous! What kind of captain is that? Just because my C-rank talent isn't as good as someone else's B-rank, he kicked me off the ship! Luckily, I found a plank nearby, otherwise I'd be sunk to the bottom of the sea by now. Wang Man, you just wait! Don't fall into my hands! Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead!"

"Heh, trashy C-class, come find me if you dare, I'll beat you to a pulp. Friends, did you see that? Next time you lose a crew member, it's better to just kill them. Throwing them into the sea isn't necessarily safe."

……

"Is there any genius who can trade with me? I'll offer five pieces of wood for just one loaf of bread. I'm really desperate."

……

Ye Hang's eyes lit up.

"Three hours have passed, has someone finally given up?"

He decisively clicked on the private chat.

The other party quickly agreed.

"Eight pieces of wood and one piece of bread," Ye Hang typed.

"Eight pieces of wood? Why don't you just rob me?"

"If you don't want to, that's fine. You've seen how scarce food is right now. If you don't want to starve, you can choose not to switch."

A moment of silence.

"Six pieces, at most six pieces of wood."

"Seven dollars! That's the lowest I can go! Otherwise, forget it, I think there are plenty of people willing to trade."

A moment of silence.

"Fine, seven yuan it is. You're really ripping me off!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

The transaction was successfully completed.

Ye Hang traded one loaf of bread for seven pieces of wood.

Then, he set his sights on the next person.

Same recipe, same routine.

They all traded food for supplies.

After half an hour.

He traded ten loaves of bread for 30 pieces of wood and 35 rolls of thick rope.

Check your inventory.

He now owns a total of 30 pieces of wood and 42 rolls of thick rope.

"upgrade!"

Without any hesitation, he chose to upgrade.

This upgrade cost him 20 pieces of wood and 20 rolls of thick rope.

The small raft has been upgraded from LV3 to LV4.

The raft's area has been expanded by another 10 square meters.

The speed was increased from 20 knots to 25 knots.

Ye Hang's lips curled up slightly. "If we go all out at this speed, we can definitely reach the island within the allotted time."

Soon, Ye Hang shook his head repeatedly in his heart, "How can simply arriving on time be enough? I still need to continue upgrading the raft and make good use of this time to collect supplies."

"Who knows what dangers await us once we get to the island."

Ye Hang continued to steer the raft forward while observing the regional chat room to see if there were any more "lucky ones".

But it's a pity.

After the previous round of favors, there are no more suckers this time.

No one would offer more than five pieces of wood or thick rope in exchange for food anymore.

"Looks like I'll have to wait a few more hours until they're starving again before I come back."

And so, three hours later.

With the help of Eagle Eye, and the increased speed of the raft, the raft moved faster.

Ye Hang was lucky enough to encounter three green treasure chests during this process.

You received eight pieces of wood, five thick ropes, six loaves of bread, and a small leather jacket, increasing your defense by fifteen points.

It was handed directly to Chu Mengli.

Although Chu Mengli looked disgusted, she still put it on, wearing it over her blue battle suit, which looked quite comical.

"It's almost time to exchange supplies again. I wonder which lucky person will give up."

Ye Hang opened the regional chat room again.

[Chat Room No. 99876677, Number of Participants: 83/100]

"Six more people died in three hours. At this rate, I estimate that half of them won't make it to the island."

He stopped focusing on the death toll and began looking for the lucky ones.

This time, he traded six loaves of bread for 32 pieces of wood and 12 rolls of thick rope.

In this way, he had 42 pieces of wood and 34 thick ropes.

Check the ship's status.

[Ship: Small Raft LV4]

[Next level, Small Raft LV5, requires 25 Wood and 25 Coarse Rope]
