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

"It looks like something's coming up," Renyi said in a low voice.

The seawater beneath their feet was being slowly lifted upwards by some enormous object, without any waves or turbulence.

A massive shadow, far larger than the small boat, is emerging from the sea.

That's practically an island!

"My God..." Klaus looked at the ever-expanding 'land' and almost stopped breathing!

Its hill-like head rose, and seawater flowed down from the folds of its skin.

Several small corals have grown on the head, which is covered with the wrinkles of time.

Its terrifying size was enough to inspire fear, but when it turned its head and revealed two black bean-like eyes...

DouDou stared at them with droopy eyelids, half asleep and half awake, instantly dispelling any sense of oppression.

[Holy crap! Grandpa Turtle really came!]

[That physique...]

[Stop kidding, look at those eyes, they're so cute and silly!]

[Logically speaking, sea turtles are docile...]

Judging from its expression, it clearly possesses some intelligence.

The giant tortoise made no further move, but simply opened its mouth. It had no sharp teeth, and a low humming sound emanated from its smooth cavity.

Klaus raised the short spear in his hand.

"Don't attack it." He tentatively reached out and removed the fishhook, and the giant turtle cooperated.

The meat of the mullet on the fishing hook has vanished.

"It...ate the bait?" Klaus's eyes widened.

"So it's coming up here now so we can reconnect it?"

Try it and you'll see. Take any piece of fresh barracuda meat and toss it precisely into the giant turtle's mouth.

"Gurgle."

Without even chewing, it tilted its head back and swallowed it whole, letting out a satisfied low hum, like blowing a trumpet.

Then open your mouth wide again.

"Is it... treating this place like a buffet?"

Just as Renyi was about to feed it again, the giant turtle slightly adjusted its posture in the sea.

He saw something shimmering on the island-like shell.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the ravines on its back were filled with a large amount of unknown ore, and even an anchor and a broken metal spear!

He reached out and approached a small cluster of dark red bumps.

[Decomposable target detected: Associated high-purity copper ore]

[Disassembling yields: 2 copper ore]

[Confirm decomposition?]

"break down."

[Decomposition successful!]

[Received: Copper Ore *2]

[Already stored in the warehouse.]

This deal is an absolute steal!

He turned his head and took out more than half of the barracuda meat from the system warehouse. "Feed it, feed it slowly, don't stop."

Then he nimbly climbed up the railing and tried to jump onto the giant tortoise's back.

"Boss!" Klaus cried out in alarm as he fed Renyi.

"That's not the deck, come back!"

[Decomposable target detected: abandoned anchor]

Disassembling this item will yield: 5 Iron Blocks

[Confirm decomposition?]

"break down."

[Decomposition successful!]

[Received: Iron Block *5]

"Klaus, didn't you want to save your sister?" Renyi's henchmen kept responding.

"All we need to do is evolve the mental strength of the entire Hanscat Kingdom."

One evolution point only brings a 0.01 increase.

What does it mean to reach the level of evolution?

"You..." Klaus's voice was a little hoarse, "Do you know what you're saying?"

[Disposable target detected: abandoned ship mast]

Disassembling this yields: 8 pieces of wood.

[Confirm decomposition?]

"break down."

[Decomposition successful!]

[Received: Wood*8]

"Know."

He picked it up without even looking up, his hand reaching for a rusty metal plate.

"So it's not enough for us to just survive, we also have to win."

He knew perfectly well that without this sudden Ocean Era game, this Blue Star would probably have followed the same path as his Blue Star due to resource depletion.

Living is just the basics.

Winning resources and achieving evolution are the goals he and his billions of compatriots are pursuing.

[Decomposable target detected: discarded metal plate armor]

Disassembling yields: Alloy*4, Mithril*1

[Confirm decomposition?]

"break down."

The blue light kept flashing, and Ren Yi didn't have time to check the warehouse. He turned around and pounced on the next target.

Klaus mechanically tossed pieces of fish into the giant turtle's gaping mouth while watching in horror as Renyi ran around on its back.

What if this old turtle gets upset and rolls over...?

[Turtle: You want to tear my house down?]

[Hold on, bro! Don't pluck them all out! Leave some underwear for the old man!]

[Like plucking feathers from a passing goose, or scraping the shell from a passing tortoise...]

[Coffin Guy Gets Promoted to Director of Demolition Office!]

Fans of the "scavenging" game are thrilled!

"This...is insane!"

Jeff covered his forehead. "He turned a giant beast into a private mine!"

"Damn it! This isn't fair!"

A man with a bowl cut and foundation slammed his fist on the control panel.

"Why is he always so lucky? A living treasure island! Is Gaia favoring him?!"

"Colonel Park, calm down."

The analyst handed him a glass of water.

"Based on the analysis, if he attempted to harm any of the turtles after catching the 'Little Birthday Boy of the Ocean,' then..."

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's command center, Professor Li Yuan asked with a mixture of excitement and worry, "Isn't it okay for him to exploit the rules like this?"

"No."

General Pei calmly watched the figures jumping around on the screen.

"He simply made a choice, and then Gaia rewarded him handsomely."

He had no time to care what others were thinking; he had only one thought in mind:

When preparing materials, speed is crucial.

Prioritize those that emit light, followed by those that resemble metal, and leave the rest to fate.

[Received: Mithril*1] [Received: Crystal*10]

[Received: Coral Bone*8] [Received: Wood*15]

[Obtained: 8 symbiotic bioluminescent mosses]

[Received: Deep Sea Crystal *3]

......

"Pfft—" A stream of slime smeared onto the coral reef, brushing against Renyi's clothes and emitting a puff of white smoke.

"He has a bit of a temper."

He picked up the rusty iron bar left over from the dismantling and pried it hard at the base of the disgusting-looking clump of barnacles that was spurting slime.

[Decomposable target detected: Abyssal Barbarian Barnacle (Symphony)]

"break down."

[Obtained: 10 Strong Bio-Adhesives, 2 Paralytic Toxins, 5 Calcified Shells]

"Dude! That's enough!"

Klaus's shout came from the other end, "If you feed me any more, I'll have to cut myself off!"

"Then let's cut it!"

The sound of the sea breeze could be heard coming from all directions.

Klaus was so angry he almost fainted. This madman! He watched as Renyi even plucked a large patch of moss and seaweed off the back of the man!

After collecting a dozen or so pieces of timber, he was drawn to a corner hidden among the coral reefs.

After removing the covering, it revealed a treasure chest made of some unknown material.

Get rich!

[Special target detected: A treasure chest sealed by time]

[Warning! This target cannot be decomposed!]

Ok?

This was the first time he had encountered something that the system couldn't break down!

I tried to pick it up, but it seemed to be stuck to its shell and wouldn't move.

The land beneath their feet trembled violently.

"Randomly, it seems to have glanced at you just now!"

Upon hearing Klaus's words, Ren Yi ran to the edge of the tortoise shell without hesitation and leaped back onto the coffin boat.

The giant tortoise's mouth was already closed.

With a blank look at Ren Yi, the beady-eyed creature slowly sank to the surface of the sea.

Just as the hill-like head was about to disappear, "Gulp—"

A deep, drawn-out burp came from underwater.

Immediately afterwards, a dark object emerged from the sea.

With a "splat," it landed on the small boat, splashing out a puddle of viscous liquid.
