National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The atmosphere in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room eased up.

[Fire! It's fire! It's the fire of civilization!]

[Waaaaah, the boss finally doesn't have to eat raw jerky anymore! That's great!]

[This is something only a tough guy would do! Even though he used a magnesium rod, it's practically like starting a fire by rubbing sticks together!]

[Upstairs, do you use rounding up like that in your home?]

Zhang Guangwei also breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

"With fire, the chances of survival increase significantly!"

Professor Li Shu nodded:

"Fire represents humanity's beginning to use tools to transform the environment, which is the cornerstone of civilization."

Perhaps this is the difference between humanities and sciences.

At this moment, Renyi's thoughts had absolutely nothing to do with civilization or the foundation of civilization.

It's entirely from a pragmatic perspective.

well.

Fire can distill fresh water.

It can kill parasites and bacteria.

It can be used to make carbon powder for simple water purification devices or to treat wounds.

He quietly added dry wood to the fire.

After a while, the clanging stopped.

Klaus held up the finished product in his hand as if to demonstrate, and reported on the work in a flat tone.

"The rust affects its toughness, and it may break if you catch a fish that is too big."

I picked it up randomly and took a look.

Even though it uses 'waste material', the curvature and shape are still quite standard.

"Your skills are quite good."

Klaus didn't say anything, but took a cloth out of his toolbox and carefully wiped the hammer.

No doubt about it, it's definitely a combination of OCD and germaphobia.

Arbitrarily tie the 'fishhook' firmly to the hemp rope, tear off a small piece of raw meat, skewer it on the hook, and throw it into the sea.

"That monster...it's still alive, could it be attracted here?"

Klaus is a bit gloomy now.

"Probably not."

He calmly explained, then added another piece of wood to the fire.

"You poked so many of its eyes out, it should be even more afraid of light and fire for a while now."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said with great interest,

"Of course, this isn't Earth, so we can't use common sense to make judgments. If it really comes knocking on our door..."

"That thing is so big, it must be worth a lot of evolution points, right?"

The emotions of the Chinese people were on a rollercoaster ride following Ren Yi's words.

[That scared me half to death, turns out the big shot is after my evolution points?]

[Don't talk nonsense, it might still contain someone else's skin, flesh, and bones...]

[I'm actually kind of looking forward to it! Come back soon, Green Lotus! Send some warmth to my coffin brother!]

The commentator from Japan scoffed disdainfully:

"What arrogance! Just because you escaped once, you think you can hunt monsters of that level? Ignorant Chinese."

Klaus looked at the young man from China calmly fishing with a complicated expression.

Each of his actions, taken individually, seems like something only a madman would do.

Yet it also reveals a logic that takes an unconventional approach and an astonishing boldness.

If it weren't arbitrary,

His body has now been completely destroyed.

Lina...

If she saw her brother looking like this, she would definitely laugh at him mercilessly.

Klaus silently stood up, picked up a few pieces of wet wood, and began to inspect the damage to the hull.

He glanced at him casually and was quite satisfied with the fact that this Hanscat countryman knew how to be pragmatic.

......

Late at night,

Klaus wiped his hands and inspected the boat again.

"This is the best we can do."

I glanced up casually and saw that the "broken" railing had been re-secured, and the cracks at the bow had been filled with wood, as if several patches had been applied.

Small bone coffin (LV.1)

【Durability: 35/50】

The durability actually recovered from 15 to 35.

"That's enough." Renyi was very satisfied with the result.

Klaus moved the plank that had been supporting the fire to the middle of the coffin, and silently tied another fishhook to a rope and threw it into the sea.

Each of them had a fishing line; one looked calm, the other looked tired.

[This scene... why do I sense a touch of tranquility and peace?]

[In the pitch black, fishing while sitting on a coffin... it's quite "peaceful".]

[Isn't this just me and my friend sea fishing in the middle of the night?]

[Klaus: I was terrified, but I didn't dare say anything.]

Soon, the rope in Renyi's hand suddenly felt heavy.

After pulling back and forth a few times, I felt the fish's struggle weaken and quickly pulled the rope back in.

A flat, strange fish, nearly a meter long, was dragged out of the water. Its body was like a silver whip, lashing against the coffin lid.

Aside from the extra ring of sharp teeth in its mouth and its dorsal fin resembling a hedgehog, this shape...

[Holy crap! That's just ribbonfish!]

[Goodness, this ribbonfish is possessed! It looks fierce.]

[Quick, let's get this! Steamed or braised?]

"This fish looks familiar..."

Muttering to himself, he grabbed a plank that had been temporarily used as a paddle and smacked the fish in the head.

"Snapped!"

The world is peaceful now.

[You have defeated the mutated ribbonfish and gained 1 evolution point.]

[Global Announcement: Dragon Kingdom's No. 100 contestant has obtained 1 Evolution Points! National Fortune Rewards are being settled...]

[Reward to all citizens of the Dragon Kingdom: Agility +0.01!]

He casually grabbed the fish by the tail, opened the small door on the coffin lid, and threw the fish inside.

"Why not just decompose it?"

Klaus knew that any energy could be directly decomposed and stored, and couldn't help but ask.

"Wasteful, the utilization rate is too low."

He answered arbitrarily and naturally.

Fish bones can be used to make soup, fish skin can be used to make fish skin glue, and fish oil can also be extracted...

This is called making the best use of resources.

Just as he was about to re-bait the fish, he heard Klaus let out a short exclamation.

The rope in Klaus's hand was taut and vibrating eerily. He gripped it tightly but dared not pull too hard for fear of breaking it.

"Did you catch something big?"

He casually lowered the fishing hook, then picked up a plank and stared intently at the water's surface.

"No...something's not right."

"It's gnawing on my thread!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Klaus's rope suddenly loosened, but it didn't come off the hook...

Instead, something was rapidly climbing up the rope!

By the firelight, the two were able to make out the shape of the thing—

A semi-transparent, jelly-like object was clinging tightly to the hemp rope, wriggling rapidly upwards.

The thing was about 1 meter long, shaped like a flat water bag, with thin, arthropod-like legs on both sides. It was unclear what purpose its bloated body served.

The part at its tip that was devouring the rope was a ring-shaped mouthpart covered with densely packed teeth.

In the blink of an eye, the rope in Klaus's hand was completely devoured.

"Let go!"

He grabbed Klaus's arm and pulled him toward himself.

But the thing seemed to sense their intentions and suddenly sprang up, trying to pounce directly at Klaus's face!

[Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!]

[Klaus, get out of the way!]

[Mom, I never want to eat jelly again...]

"puff--"

When any wooden board was pulled out, the expected scene of it being knocked away or shattered did not occur.

The jelly-like mass twisted in the air and stuck to the wooden board like a piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off. Its tiny segments slid haphazardly in the air, and its mouthparts opened and closed, trying to climb up the board to any of the arms.
