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

"Okay." Ren Yi nodded decisively.

The arbitrary processing method is crude, but the effect is undeniable.

The two men lifted Ivan up and moved him to a seat near the captain's cabin door, elevating his legs.

"My boat is to the northeast, about five or six miles away."

He pointed in a direction, but his tone carried a sense of entitlement, clearly indicating his habit of giving orders.

Klaus was a little unhappy with this guy's bossy attitude.

But seeing Ren Yi's calm and tacit expression, he silently adjusted the ship's direction.

"Your ship..."

Ivan surveyed the strangely shaped yet sleek ship, noting that everything from the square-headed statue to the smooth railings exuded an air of extraordinary grandeur.

"Are you part of a craftsman-type lifestyle?"

"Yes," he nodded casually, smiling openly.

"I'm a doctor, he's a blacksmith, we're not much of a fighter."

Klaus glanced at Ren Yi with a look of utter disbelief, then turned away and gazed at the sky with a weary expression.

The parts for the siren and the deep-sea two-headed shark have to crawl out of the warehouse to give you a thumbs up.

[Ivan's expression seemed to say: Are you implying something about me?]

[Coffin Guy: Completely powerless (smiling.jpg)]

[Two-headed shark: Thank you!]

[Korean and Japanese players: ... (They're stunned, don't bother them)]

Ivan was taken aback by this confident display of weakness.

Recalling the blinding light that scared away at least a level 5 monster, and the image of calmly plugging the bloody hole...

He unconsciously touched his still painful thigh.

Okay, let's change the subject.

"This sail...it's quite unique!"

"It was a gift from a friend," Klaus replied expressionlessly, "It expresses our many questions about this game."

Ivan: "..."

This conversation is impossible!

In this strange atmosphere, they soon spotted another floating ship.

Ivan's ship was shorter than the Ghost Bone Boat, about ten meters long, but it looked wider and...

Rugged.

The main body is still made of wood, but various things are pieced together and nailed to it.

Some of the planks were made of hardwood, and in some places, rusty iron plates were nailed to them. Large, crooked fish bones were also bound to the sides, seemingly for ramming and guardrail work...

His style is wild and suits Ivan very well; he's like a giant sea monster cobbled together from the ground up.

Even the current tragic situation is exactly the same—

The scratches, the torn iron plate, and the broken hull and mast, all looked like they had been ploughed by some sharp tool. They were clearly the "masterpiece" of that crab.

Ivan looked at his "beloved wife" with heartache, struggling to stand up.

"Don't move," Renyi stopped him.

"Thank you."

"We still need to follow the doctor's orders," Ivan said, refraining from standing up. Instead, he pointed to the boxes piled up inside the ship.

"Take whatever you like, and I have another request..."

He looked a little shy. "If you can help me repair my 'Guardian,' I can share some of the weapons I found in the shipwreck with you."

Fearing the two might not be interested, he added:

"It's a metal weapon, not made of wood or bone!"

Klaus has no problem repairing this ship, and he can gain a lot of skill points for free. A metal weapon also sounds very appealing.

But Ren Yi did not agree immediately; he had his eye on more than just these supplies.

"Your injuries are severe, Ivan."

He said with concern,

"Although the bleeding has stopped temporarily, it's best to stay still for the next two days, avoid strenuous activity for a week, and definitely don't go into the water."

That means there is no source of fresh water and food, and no way to cope with danger.

"Repairing the ship also takes time."

Seemingly oblivious to Ivan's inner turmoil,

Renyi continued speaking slowly and deliberately,

"We're still a long way from where we discovered the land route, if you..."

"etc!"

Ivan caught a word. "What did you say? Land?!"

His hawk-like eyes fixed on Ren Yi, filled with intense suspicion and an undisguised longing.

More than two months have passed since the Age of Ocean arrived, and no one has yet received any specific clues about the location of the land.

For any modern person, the prospect of setting foot on solid ground is an immense temptation.

"Yes, it's just to the north. We're about to go take a look."

North?

Ivan was calculating in his mind,

In the absence of supplies and information, any person with common sense would choose to sail south or east, where they would encounter warmer air currents and have a better chance of survival.

If the land is to the north, then everything makes sense.

For Renyi, this news couldn't be kept secret for more than a few days.

Instead of hiding it, it's better to openly use it now as an important bargaining chip for building trust.

Ivan isn't a fool to have survived until now on the brutal high seas.

His judgment of people is as sharp as his combat instincts.

The reason I've always been a lone wolf,

It's not that teammates aren't needed, but in this game, temporary teammates who drag you down or have different motives are far more deadly than cunning enemies.

He had no choice in the current situation.

The ship was severely damaged, and the crew was almost completely incapacitated for the next week. Forget about going ashore; even getting food would be a problem.

One of these two individuals possesses a calm mind and medical skills.

Another one can repair ships.

Most importantly, there is the relationship between the Dragon Kingdom and the Bear Kingdom on Earth.

National-level alliances directly impact the foundation of trust among players.

Thinking of this, Ivan's fierce expression relaxed.

"I want to cooperate with you, at least until we reach land."

"During this period, all supplies on my ship are at your disposal."

Renyi waited for him to say that, and smiled as she extended her right hand.

"Dragon Kingdom is at will, this is Hanscat Kingdom Klaus."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Ivan didn't remain silent for long before taking his hand.

This scene was transmitted back to Earth.

The Russians had just breathed a sigh of relief at Ivan's temporary escape from danger, and were half relieved and half worried to see him ally with the Chinese players.

"General, Ivan's personality is a bit too direct; I'm worried they might clash..."

Maxi, sitting in the main seat, confidently waved his hand.

"This contestant from China is smart and has a strong fist. Just watch, Ivan will behave himself."

Inside the Dragon Kingdom command center, Zhang Guangwei nodded frequently.

"This is already the beginnings of a very complementary team."

General Pei gave the following order:

"Immediately contact the Russian bear country, and together with Hanscat, establish a three-way intelligence-sharing mechanism."

The three people at sea have begun to inventory the supplies.

Because Ivan was unable to move easily, Klaus jumped aboard his "Guardian" and began to check if the ship could still be saved.

"This is a disaster..." Klaus complained.

"The structure is completely flawed; it must capsize frequently, right?"

Ivan blushed, but stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Hey! My Guardian helped me take down two Lv.4 Swordfish!"

"That might be because they have poor eyesight."

Klaus retaliated without hesitation.

"alright,"

He casually tossed a rope to Klaus, telling him to tie the two boats together, "and bring the boxes up first."

"There's still a lot of stuff in the cabin," Ivan added.

"Could you get me a bottle of wine, please?"

Klaus responded, opened the cabin door, and froze completely.

The ground was sticky.

Seaweed, dead fish, gnawed crab legs...

And underwear hanging on a makeshift harpoon, who knows how long it's been drying?

Klaus nearly fainted; he turned back to look at Ivan in disbelief.

"You...you call this a cabin?!"
