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

Ivan's carefully cultivated emotions evaporated along with the seafood platter.

But look at the elegant ghost bone boat next to it,

Hmm... it seems a bit like it was pieced together from scraps.

Seafood platter it is then...

It's at least a platter that exudes enough domineering presence!

The transformation from a dilapidated, leaky ship to a menacing, heavily armored vessel brought tears to his eyes.

"Thanks, bro!"

Ivan spread his arms wide, pouncing on Klaus like a brown bear hunting its prey.

"!" Klaus was shocked and instinctively darted behind Ren Yi, looking wary.

"I don't hug men!"

Ivan missed his target, sheepishly withdrew his hand, and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Are you Hans cat people all this cold-hearted?!"

"This is the burning camaraderie between soldiers!"

His attention quickly returned to his boat, and he clung to the railing, lovingly stroking the shark's head.

"Honestly,"

He exclaimed sincerely, "You blacksmiths are simply like miracle workers..."

"Every sequence has its value."

He spoke casually and indifferently.

Ivan patted his chest,

"Of course, once I'm healed, I can retrieve any treasure I want! Once I reach level 3, I can dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 3,000 meters, where there are plenty of good things."

Three thousand meters...

That would reach almost the entire seabed in most shallow waters.

Ren Yi, intrigued, asked, "How many evolution points are needed for level 3?"

"one thousand."

Ivan counted on his fingers, then his face fell.

"(ಥ﹏ಥ) Damn it, I'm still 727 points short."

Any ship is only level 2 right now, and it will probably need 1000 evolution points to evolve further.

Supporting such a large family is indeed a significant challenge.

You either need to hunt higher-level monsters, or you need to improve your hunting efficiency.

For example, using heavy metal fishing harpoons or shipboard weapons.

"Klaus, how much further are you going to reach level 2?"

"Let me see..."

Current proficiency: 850/1000

"850?!" Klaus hadn't expected that the modifications he made to the 'Guardian' would actually give him a whopping 600 points of proficiency.

He nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that using higher-grade materials does indeed yield better results.

Once Klaus upgrades, let's see if we can help modify his hardworking fishing rod.

"Only 150 proficiency points are needed..."

A small flame ignited in Klaus's usually calm gray eyes.

He turned his head and stared intently at the freshly finished seafood platter.

"Brother, what are you trying to do?" Ivan had a bad feeling.

"I just feel that its structure could perhaps be further optimized..."

Klaus flashed the same friendly smile he always wore.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking it apart and reassembling it, it'll be quick..."

"Take it apart?! ┌(。Д。)┐"

Like a bear protecting its cubs, Ivan stood between Klaus and the ship, shouting, "You can't touch my Katyusha!"

"Katyusha?"

Klaus frowned. "Isn't she a guardian? Katyusha is too frail..."

"My grandmother's name was Katyusha, and she once defeated a brown bear with her bare hands!"

[Holy crap! Really?!]

[As expected of a fighting nation...]

[Random: You guys argue, I'll just watch. JPG]

[I bet a bag of spicy strips that in the end, any big shot will decide the outcome with a single sentence!]

[The first season of the "Raising the Coffin for Fortune" family drama has officially premiered...]

Seeing that the two were about to start their crosstalk performance again, Ren Yi couldn't help but laugh.

He walked up to Klaus and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't rush."

Klaus turned around (*❦ω❦), his face filled with a desire for mastery.

That was hilarious, I almost burst out laughing.

Even if the proficiency is maxed out, there are still evolution points needed.

...The score is 14 points short.

Instead of arguing here, why don't we take the initiative?

He smiled gently, "Find a big guy to fight, that way you'll get evolution points, and the damage to the ship will increase your proficiency..."

Kill two birds with one stone!

Klaus and Ivan's eyes lit up simultaneously.

The viewers in the live stream were laughing hysterically.

[Haha, you make exploiting your teammates sound so elegant and refined!]

[To kill two birds with one stone...]

[Even capitalists would weep upon hearing this!]

[I've learned something new, I'm going to use PUA on my boss right now!]

"That makes sense!" Ivan rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "Let Katyusha open a shop!"

Seeing that the pre-battle mobilization was in place, Renyi once again took out the stinking, rotten flesh and blood.

"Why does this smell... even worse than the last one...?"

Ivan pinched his nose and mumbled in a muffled voice.

This is elite flesh dropped by a fake Siren. Last time, we used this to lure a large group of zombie fish, which gave him and Klaus dozens of evolution points and also attracted a two-headed shark.

The goal this time is very clear—

Replicating the success from last time!

There are still a dozen or so pieces of rotten flesh left. If we eat like this every day, won't everyone be at level three in just a few days?!

Thinking this over and over, he forcefully cast the fishing hook far away.

However, a minute later, the scene of fish swarming in as before did not occur.

"Hmm?" Ren Yi was somewhat surprised.

Klaus leaned closer. "What happened? This premium bait isn't working?"

Ivan's posture of gripping his axe tightly and standing ready for battle seemed somewhat superfluous at this moment.

"Wait a little longer."

Renyi was very patient. He shook the fishing rod to make the rotting flesh underwater emit a stronger smell.

Do the fish in this sea not like rotten meat?

Just as he was considering whether to replace the rotten flesh with fresh crab meat, a tremendous force suddenly came!

"Squeak—!"

[The Fisherman's Blessing] stretched into a semi-circle, making a creaking sound.

This force was more terrifying than any mutated fish he had encountered before; the sturdy rod trembled violently in his hand.

Seeing this, Ivan and Klaus quickly came over to help.

The three of them worked together to struggle against the underwater object, but even when the fishing line was stretched to its limit, they couldn't wait for it to run out of energy.

"What the hell is that down there! A whale?"

Ivan, his face flushed and neck red, gritted his teeth and complained.

"Just pull it up and you'll see!" he blurted out.

The underwater behemoth engaged in a tug-of-war with them, and the ghost bone boat was dragged along with the "Katyusha".

Just when Renyi thought they were about to succeed, there was a loud "snap" sound.

The three people fell backward at the same time, tumbling into a heap.

He fell to the bottom, but ignoring the pain, he blankly raised his hand—

Only half of the "Fisherman's Blessing" remains.

Not far away, waves surged, and a huge black shadow poked its head out before quickly disappearing into the deep sea.

"It..." Klaus struggled to find his voice.

"Did it just come up and take a look at us on purpose?"

No one answered him.

He turned his head and saw Ivan patting his chest with lingering fear, while Renyi was staring blankly at the half-broken fishing rod in his hand.

[The pole...the pole broke?]

[My pole is so big, and now there's only the handle left?]

[What kind of monster is this?! It destroyed the divine artifact in one hit?!]

[Oh no, oh no, our only means of attack is gone!]

[My heart aches for her, that little expression, she looks like she's about to cry, hahaha... I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it.]

I really wanted to cry.

That's the fisherman's blessing!

He fishes for bones, treasure chests, sea turtles, and two-headed sharks... all thanks to it!

Half the credit for this boat goes to this fishing rod.

Now, it's just gone like that?!
