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

Ivan and Klaus reached out their hands.

He tentatively touched the newly formed, translucent tissue on the outside of the hull.

It feels warm to the touch and has a slight elasticity.

Ivan clenched his fist and slammed it down with a little force.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the spot where his fist landed seemed to sink a little as if the force had been released, and a supple force rebounded from his arm.

"Oh My God!"

Ivan shook his hand. "It's like exchanging punches with a seasoned martial arts expert; it neutralized all my strength!"

Klaus also pressed his abs, and unlike before when only his 'abs' were visible...

This is very close to the intricate structure of biological organisms, which is already a very advanced form of biomimicry. Its cushioning effect is superior to any man-made shock-absorbing material!

"This ship's biological buffer layer is already at level two, capable of absorbing 70% of the impact force of ocean waves."

He explained, "As for skills, let's leave that aside for now."

"Haha, then we can withstand a tsunami?" Ivan exclaimed excitedly, looking as if he wanted to run into a tsunami right away.

Klaus glanced at him silently, his eyes clearly saying, "You battle maniac."

After examining the new ship, all three men's stomachs were rumbling loudly.

Especially Ivan and Renyi, who had just finished doing "coolie work".

Klaus shared the tender, cooked seagull meat with everyone.

The flesh of the mutated seabird is very firm and looks like it's rich in protein.

When I first ate it raw, I found it both fishy and tough, but after cooking it, it became rich in oil and retained its chewy texture.

Although it wasn't as fresh and tender as fish, they were all tired of eating fish, so they thought it was nice to change things up.

After building almost half of it, Ivan smacked his lips and said:

"It feels like... something's missing..."

"We forgot to add salt," Klaus noticed after a few bites.

I just started using condiments yesterday, and I'm still not used to this "luxurious" life of having unlimited condiments.

But then again,

Where is their "saltiness representative"?

The three men looked at each other, wondering what to do. Last night, before they did something big, they had prepared a plan to prevent Jiro Sato from interfering or taking the opportunity to escape.

Before leaving, they deliberately tied him up and locked him in the cabin of the Katyusha.

"..."

"I'll go take a look," Renyi put down the bowl and stood up.

The audience on Earth couldn't wait to see the spectacle:

[Finally remembered that the cherry blossoms are still tied up! If we don't go soon, they'll turn into mummies!]

[Any expert: Oh, I almost forgot, I still have a salt shaker I haven't opened.]

[Visiting time! Hahahaha!]

[Sato: Don't come any closer! I'll tell you everything!]

He nimbly leaped onto the Katyusha and opened the dark cabin door.

Having been bound in the darkness all night, Jiro Sato was completely disoriented and exhausted.

I was startled when I heard the door open.

I stared in horror at the figure backlit by the doorway.

His expression was as if he had seen a vicious kidnapper about to kill his hostage.

"Don't be afraid, we're back."

As always, Ren was gentle. He squatted down and used two fingers to pry open Sato Jiro's eyelids to take a look.

"Hmm, the pupils are reacting normally to light; there are no signs of a breakdown."

He then turned to Ivan and Klaus and said, "It's just a bit of dehydration and stress, nothing serious."

Little things?

Jiro Sato's taut nerves pounded repeatedly.

Especially when that self-proclaimed doctor, the living Yama, drew his gleaming Western-style katana!

"Ya...Yamailo!"

I simply ignored the turmoil in Sakura's heart.

Cut the knot in the rope cleanly and decisively.

The rest can be recycled and reused next time.

"Get up and have some water and something to eat." He pushed the water and the bowl of seagull meat in soup forward.

"What we did last night was dangerous, and we left you here with the engineers and mascot to ensure your safety."

Jiro Sato was stunned.

This explanation... seems reasonable?

So many monsters lurked around the giant whale's carcass; Renyi and Ivan faced certain death as they ventured deep into it.

But I can spend the night on a safe ship—

Even though he was tied up...

But who told me to have bad intentions in the first place?!

Now they've returned with their spoils, and they've even shared their food with me without holding a grudge!

A feeling of gratitude welled up in Jiro Sato's heart.

I was judging others by my own petty standards!

[Wow! That's some serious PUA! Where did this guy get his PhD in psychology?]

[That's called skillful manipulation! Learn this; you'll use it when your boss tries to make empty promises to you in the future!]

[Upstairs... this seems to be something my boss uses to manipulate me...]

Sato Jiro, feeling relieved to have survived such a close call, wolfed down his food.

My parched throat and empty stomach were filled with warm broth, and I came back to life!

He was almost moved to tears.

Just then, Ren Yi's gentle voice rang out from above again:

"Eat slowly, you have half an hour."

Sato Jiro nodded gratefully as he ate, "Yes! Yes! Thank you—"

"Start work after eating. Today's portion is 700g of salt."

The chewing motion paused.

Ren Yi, seemingly oblivious to his petrified expression, patiently explained:

"Yesterday's basic share of 500g was not completed, so it's reasonable to make up for the shortfall today, right?"

That makes sense... right?

Sato Jiro stared blankly into Ran's dark eyes.

A despair even deeper than being tied up in a dark room gripped his heart.

He really is a devil!

......

After eating and drinking their fill, they could return to the captain's cabin at will.

He needed to deal with a special "trophy"—

That blue eyeball that was "rescued" from the whale's belly.

Since being separated from the whale's body, it seems to have lost its vitality and turned into a blue glass ball.

After examining it for a moment, he took out a large piece of [(???) high-concentration flesh and blood].

He placed the little guy on the flesh and blood.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Its base sprouted new blue, jellyfish-tentacle-like roots that had guided it before, and they took root without hesitation.

Perhaps it absorbed nutrients from it, because the color of the sphere has lightened a bit.

"It seems to survive by clinging to the flesh and blood of that whale..."

The blue eyeball remained closed, swaying slightly on the flesh, like a rare plant growing there.

I simply placed it on the shelf that Klaus had so lovingly provided.

Placed alongside Wilson.

He thought for a moment and then took out the "Stranger's Skull" that had randomly appeared while playing the "Whale Intestine Rapids" ride and put it together with the other rides.

A coconut head with painted facial features, and a bonsai with a blue eyeball growing on deep red flesh.

In addition, there is a smooth skull.

Ok,

The room is now very artistic.

He looked around the captain's cabin; the space was still too small.

It's estimated that once all modules are upgraded to Lv2, the new evolution path for the Ghost Bone Ship will be unlocked again.

Furthermore, upgrading two modules just now cost 110 evolution points.

Even after accounting for the points gained from killing so many mutated seagulls, I only have 73 points left.

Take out any [Pudu] and return to the deck.

Fishing can lead to wealth; it's a reliable method.

Making a fortune through fishing is not a myth!

Evolution point! Evolution point! Evolution point! Back my home!
