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

That long, gray shadow was still floating on the sea.

Although its belly was turned white, the occasional twitching of its tail fin indicated that it was still fresh.

He plopped down on the coffin lid, his lungs burning, his fingertips trembling slightly uncontrollably.

"call......"

He put down the baseball bat that had helped him, and while catching his breath, picked up the fishing rod that was stuck in the seat and started reeling in the line.

"Don't just stand there," the fish is just stunned; if we don't kill it quickly and wake it up, it'll be troublesome.

"Come and help."

Klaus snapped out of his daze, looked at the exhausted Renyi, and walked over with a sharp wooden stick in his hand.

That huge thing has already been towed to the side of the ship.

Only when you get closer do you realize that this thing looks much more ferocious than it did from a distance.

Its scales are the size of coins, its dorsal fin is like an inverted hacksaw, and the spikes on its head are nearly a meter long and have spiral patterns. If they weren't attached to the fish's body, Klaus would have mistaken them for sharpened steel bars!

At this moment, its head was dented, but its gills were still stubbornly opening and closing.

Klaus looked it over, then raised a sharpened stick and stabbed it hard into its eye, stirring it around.

The fish's tail straightened, it weakly slapped the surface of the water, and then became completely still.

[Defeat a Lv.2 Mutant Armored Swordfish to obtain 5 Evolution Points]

You have gained 3 evolution points.

Klaus heard a game notification in his ear.

3 PM?

So many?

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ren Yi.

Renyi also received a notification, but what he received was:

[Defeat a Lv.2 Mutant Armored Swordfish to obtain 5 Evolution Points]

You have gained 2 evolution points.

Viewers with a God's-eye view were in an uproar:

[Holy crap? What's going on? Kill stealing?]

[This system's judgment is interesting; does the person who finishes off the enemy get the lion's share?]

Klaus really narrowed his options with this move.

[I worked my butt off to bring the enemy to low health, only to have Hans the cat eat all the experience? If this happened to me, I'd be devastated.]

[Look at Klaus's expression; he doesn't look happy, he looks like he's about to pee his pants!]

Klaus is indeed very panicked right now.

He knew very well that if it weren't for Renyi, he wouldn't have even seen the fish, and he knew even more well that if it weren't for Renyi's blow, they would probably have become fish food.

In the end, he didn't put in any effort at all, but instead took the lion's share?

This allocation method is simply outrageous!

In some extreme teams, this could very well become a reason for being purged!

"I...I..."

Klaus gestured somewhat awkwardly, "Game judgment..."

"How many points are there in total?" Renyi sat there without moving.

"10...11 o'clock."

"Oh, that's not bad."

His expression and tone were exactly the same as usual, without any anger or sarcasm.

"It seems that I can entrust more of the finishing blows to you in the future, which will make the upgrade sequence more efficient."

"You...aren't angry?" Klaus was taken aback.

Ren Yi gave him a strange look. "What's wrong?"

"It's only 5 points in total, it doesn't matter who takes them, right? Does taking them mean I don't have to help you find evolution points to upgrade your gear?"

Klaus wanted to argue that the distribution of spoils and the upgrading and repair of the ship were two separate matters.

But seeing Ren Yi's indifferent expression, I felt that arguing about it was superfluous.

An inexplicable emotion surged within him.

His magnanimity in freely distributing benefits made him feel that this teammate was worth entrusting himself to, more than any promise.

[My coffin brother has broadened his horizons!]

[Any: What's wrong with giving a few evolution points to my little brother?]

[This move to win people over deserves full marks. Klaus's loyalty is probably maxed out right now.]

[The audience in Hanscat Kingdom expresses their gratitude! From now on, we are staunch allies!]

"Stop lamenting."

He picked himself up by holding onto the railing.

"Getting it up here will be a huge undertaking."

This fish must be at least two meters long, not counting the bone; getting it onto the boat will be quite a challenge.

One of them lifted the fish by the tail, while the other pulled on the fish's head.

"one two three!"

The coffin tilted sharply to the right, and the waterline instantly submerged the ship's side.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Klaus's expression changed drastically, and the two quickly released their grip.

The fish slid back into the sea.

"It's too heavy; the boat will capsize before we can get it aboard."

In the live stream, some viewers, always eager for drama, began offering their opinions:

[That's it? You need two people to lift it? I can lift it up with one hand.]

[The person upstairs is awesome. May I ask if you've ever single-handedly taken on twenty Tibetan bears?]

[Stop yelling, you can't even beat your own cat.]

[You think that two-meter-long fish is a plastic model?]

Okay, do you mind if I apply some highlighter?

If we don't bring it up, it might attract even more deadly predators.

At that point, forget about dinner; even saving the ship will be a problem.

There's no other way.

Ren Yi looked at the large lump of meat with some regret and placed his hand on the fish carcass.

The only option was to execute them on the spot and take them away.

[Detectable decomposable target: Lv.2 Mutant Armored Barracuda (98% integrity)]

[Disassembly yields:]

[Fresh Barracuda Meat 2 lbs x 40 (3 days), Mutant Armored Barracuda Jaw x1, Armored Scales x50, Complete Fish Bone x1, Fish Oil x5, Mutant Swim Bladder x1]

[Confirm decomposition?]

"break down."

When the blue light dissipated, the sea surface was empty, and Renzi stared at the semi-transparent panel with his eyebrows raised high.

【Fresh mullet meat, 2 lbs x 40】

"This is way too dark."

He vented his frustrations freely.

Judging by its size, this fish must weigh over 300 pounds, but after the system stripped it of its skin, it only weighed 80 pounds?

Although its name is "Ironclad" Barracuda

But surely it shouldn't weigh 200 pounds with scales, bones, and internal organs?

This isn't how middlemen make their profit. Calling it skinning them alive is an understatement; it's more like performing an amputation.

never mind......

His gaze drifted down and landed on the other spoils of war.

The warehouse has no preservation function; even if you have a lot of meat, it will spoil if you don't finish it in three days.

With a thought, a one-meter-long spiral spike appeared in his hand. Klaus was trying to remove the fishy smell from the boat when he turned around and was startled.

"Is that the weapon on that strange fish's head?"

I didn't think it looked that exaggerated when I was in the water, but now that I'm holding it in my hand, it looks like a short spear made of steel.

I tried pushing it forward a couple of times, and the feel of it was so solid that it gave me a lot of peace of mind.

[Mutant Armored Barracuda with Long Jaw]

[Rank: Lv.2]

Hardness: High

[Comment: A masterpiece of nature, designed to pierce its prey. PS: Not recommended for toothpicking unless you're looking for something truly extraordinary.]

"nice one."

"Clang—" Klaus took it and tapped it with the hammer, making a metallic sound.

"If we could add a non-slip handle, it would be a great weapon for close combat, definitely much better than bones."

He nodded casually, then pulled out a bunch of scales, which clattered and fell onto the coffin lid.

[Ironclad Scales]

[Review: While it didn't stop you from being hit over the head, that doesn't mean it wasn't tough. PS: If you want to use it to make a bikini, I have no problem with that.]

"Its hardness is similar to that of low-carbon steel... but its toughness is better."

Klaus picked up a fish scale and broke it off.

"If you strung them together, you could make two bracers or a shield..."

"Are you going to star in a blockbuster? Wonder Man?" Renyi couldn't help but tell a lame joke.

"This is defense! Defense!" Klaus corrected.

"Your vision is too narrow."

He pointed arbitrarily to the coffin lid, "And how about we fit it into the ship?"
