Ivan got a new 'toy'

Completely disregarding the game's reviews, they fiddled with it with great enthusiasm.

He also fished when he was on Earth.

However, he didn't use a fishing rod, but a fishing net; to him, a fishing rod was more of a pastime.

"Watch closely!"

Ivan gave a low shout,

He swung his arm with all his might, using the strength to kill a bull, and flung the fishing rod out.

A large piece of seagull meat used as bait.

It crashed onto the sea with a loud "smack!"

The splash of water was more than ten times larger than any other splash nearby.

Staring at the two floats that were only half a meter apart, my heart skipped a beat.

"Warrior, your casting was too close to mine."

Ivan casually tossed his fishing rod against the railing. "No problem, boss, the sea's vast, there's plenty of fish!"

[I'm trying to imagine myself as a fisherman... No, my blood pressure is going up first.]

I have a bad feeling...

[Two fishing rods, one for idiots, one for perverts...]

[We don't know what we'll catch, but it'll definitely get tangled in the line.]

As he silently stared at the two floats, a thought began to stir in his mind:

So close,

Does the "willing to be caught" characteristic really not affect his "salvation" ability?

Klaus and Aurora were helping Renyi clear out his 'inventory' not far behind them.

Those more than a thousand pieces of seagull meat that were about to rot.

Feeding them to the ruminant digestive module is a way to make use of waste.

Although Ivan was active

But they have always been very patient when it comes to hunting.

"Buzz—"

Both fishing lines were taut at the same time, and the floats were pulled underwater simultaneously!

"They've taken the bait!"

Ivan excitedly stood up, his legs spread apart, as if he were in a tug-of-war position.

He reacted quickly and stabilized [Pudu], but he immediately felt that the underwater pull seemed unusual.

It's both slippery and has a brute force, which is contradictory.

Ivan over there had put in all his effort, pulling and tugging without any skill, and he actually managed to reel the fishing line in inch by inch.

However, Renyi does not intend to confront them head-on.

He rhythmically reeled in and out the fishing line, trying to break free from the other's struggle.

"Boss! The guy on my side is strong, he must be a big one!" Ivan shouted excitedly.

Ren Yi frowned. "Why do I feel like it's heading your way?"

"Huh?" Ivan asked, puzzled. "No, it's heading your way!"

The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood what was going on.

[Hahaha, I knew it! The thread got tangled!]

[It's not line tangling; look at the positions of the two floats, they both caught the same thing!]

[What kind of fish is so foolish as to eat two baits in one bite?]

[They went their separate ways.]

"Do you need any help?"

Klaus and Aurora were also drawn to the commotion.

Klaus looked at the two men; one of them seemed to be wrestling with something, his arm veins bulging.

A silent game of strategy is unfolding, the atmosphere somewhat delicate.

"No need!" they both said in unison.

As their eyes met, invisible sparks crackled and scattered.

"This must be a stupid fish, so I must have caught it!"

"It must be a rare creature."

With a casual smile, he said, "So they must have been drawn here by the [Pudu] (Buddha's Salvation)."

"Whoever pulls it up first gets to keep it!" Ivan secretly exerted force, and the fishing line whistled.

The underwater creature seemed startled and began frantically darting left and right.

Renyi also felt the pressure.

He no longer held back, stepping on the railing with one foot, the powerful force transmitted to the end of the fishing rod.

"It ran to the left!" Renyi shouted.

"No, it's the right!" Ivan gritted his teeth, shifting his weight to the left.

"Boss, do you even know how to read this?!"

"You are the one whose sense of direction is just as 'good' as her hygiene habits!"

The two men were like they were in a tug-of-war, exchanging tactical maneuvers back and forth.

Klaus pinched the bridge of his nose; his head was throbbing!

Aurora, meanwhile, pursed her lips and tried desperately to suppress her laughter.

The two were locked in a stalemate, while the creatures in the water seemed to have lost their temper after being tossed about by them.

"Now!"

They pulled upwards simultaneously—

"Splash!"

A long, brightly colored object was pulled onto the deck.

"Splat—"

The "creature" that covered most of the deck looked like a puddle of melted clay; it was about two meters long...

Or perhaps it was stretched to this length by Renyi and Ivan!

Its body is soft and boneless, and its surface is covered with mucus.

The strangest thing is that neither of them has eyes or a nose, but they have identical tentacles and pouty mouths with fine, closely spaced teeth.

It's impossible to tell the beginning and the end.

And Renyi and Ivan's fishing hooks each got caught on one side!

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Klaus took a few steps back in disgust, afraid of getting the oozing slime on himself. "A sea slug?"

But its size and structure are just too outrageous!

【Mutant Sea Slug (Lv3)】

[Review: A godsend for those with decision-making difficulties, because it doesn't care which end to start eating from. PS: But it only has one brain, and it's basically never used.]

[Decomposition yields: 120 units of highly active regenerative body fluid, and 1 unit of amorphous mimicry outer skin (rare)]

The mimicry-like outer skin makes it look like a high-quality product.

"break down!"

The "playdough" disappeared, leaving behind only a large patch of slime that made Klaus jump up and down.

Take a look at the 'jelly' slowly wriggling in any of the warehouse compartments.

【Amorphous mimicry outer skin (rare)】

[Description: Extremely flexible, it can fuse with any biological tissue and mimic its basic physical properties.]

[Review: A versatile piece of chewing gum; you can stretch it very long, but don't try to chew it to pieces. PS: Don't try to blow bubbles with it.]

The evolution of the biological buffer layer previously allowed the Ghost Bone Ship to possess layers of muscle and fat.

Now, this highly flexible, mimicry-like outer skin...

It can become its skin!

Open any module evolution panel:

[Evolvable Module: Biological Buffer Layer (Lv2)]

[Fusing Material: Amorphous Mimicry Outer Skin *1]

[Fusion Requirements: Evolution Points * 20 (213/20)]

Is fusion evolution confirmed?

"confirm."

As soon as Ren Yi finished speaking, the huge, mimicking outer layer of melting chewing gum in the warehouse spread out on the deck and flowed onto the ship's side.

Ivan curiously reached out to poke it, but Klaus quickly pulled him back.

That outer layer was like liquid silk.

Wherever it passed, the uneven biological tissues were perfectly enveloped, forming a smooth, seamless curved surface.

It's like a painted mask, putting on a layer of skin for oneself.

......

When the last inch of exposed bone was covered, the ghost bone boat completely changed its appearance.

The ship's hull refracted the sunlight, displaying a rainbow of colors reminiscent of mother-of-pearl.

As you gently run your fingertips across the hull, the surface feels supple and strangely elastic, much like touching the skin of some deep-sea monster.

A new notification popped up on his panel:

[Evolution successful!]

[Biological buffer layer (LV2) > Mimicry buffer layer (LV2+)]

[New Feature 1: Self-cleaning. Prevents dirt from adhering and prevents parasites from forming.]

[New Feature 2: Color Change. Consumes bio-energy to adjust the ship's hull color over a small area.]

[New Feature 3: Acid Resistance. Exhibits extremely high resistance to acid corrosion.]

[Comment: Your ship has finally been dressed up. PS: Now you don't have to worry about it being charged with "indecent assault."]

Self-cleaning, color-changing, and acid-resistant.

These two are incredibly useful in certain specific environments.

Ren Yi was quite satisfied and was about to put the panel away when he noticed that Klaus beside him hadn't moved at all.

"Klaus?"

Klaus seemed not to hear, his face displaying an expression of near-elevation and liberation:

"It won't be dirty anymore... it will never be dirty again..."
