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

"Are you marking something?"

"Hmm," he replied casually, then applied another layer.

"That stupid snake ran amok and cleared a safe route for us; we can't waste it."

Klaus nodded knowingly.

But then he heard Renyi add a sentence.

"If other contestants pass by, they will see it too."

Klaus stopped wiping the [Light Chaser] and looked up, his gray eyes staring at Renyi's retreating figure.

"No...it'll be easily washed away by the waves."

Unaware of Klaus's gaze, Ren jumped back onto the deck, pulled a red rectangle from the pile of canvas, and sewed it onto the bone.

Soon, a simple but neatly shaped little red flag was finished.

Take any flag, find a crack at the top of the reef, and smash it down with a stone until the flag is deeply embedded.

The sky was already turning a pale white, and the faint morning light gilded the ravaged reefs with gold.

That small red flag stood stubbornly upright.

It's too small.

In this boundless ocean, it is so small that it can almost be ignored.

But it is so vivid, like a handful of cinnabar falling on white paper.

"Let's go."

He casually brushed the stone chips off his hands and jumped back onto the boat.

The ghost bone boat turned around and sped off to the north.

Behind us, the small red flag receded further and further away from the top of the reef, eventually becoming a barely visible little red dot.

......

"Splash!"

Ivan's wet head popped out, a smug grin on his face. "Boss! Look what I found?!"

"You scared my prey away."

He reluctantly reeled in his empty fishing rod.

Like a seal returning from its hunt, Ivan swiftly flipped onto the deck and then pulled a large net from the water—

It was made from his old camouflage uniform.

"Didn't you tell me to go jellyfish fishing?" Ivan asked, unbuttoning his shirt as if presenting a treasure.

"Fishing them one by one is too slow; there's a whole bunch down there!"

As the net spread out...

A large number of colorful, oddly shaped gelatinous organisms slid onto the deck.

The large ones are as big as washbasins, and the small ones are as big as fists.

They were still fresh; their whiskers were still wriggling.

"Is that enough? If not, I'll go get more—" Ivan said, hands on his hips, proud of his cleverness.

Halfway through his sentence, his small, tower-like body suddenly fell straight backward.

"Thump!"

The jellyfish on the deck jumped from the shock.

Klaus and Aurora rushed over upon hearing the noise.

Xiao Jiu, who was on Renyi's head, instantly hugged himself tightly and rolled down from his head.

Ivan's eyes were tightly closed, and his lips were purple.

On the face, on the arms...

Almost all of the exposed skin was covered with patches of red rashes and bumps, as if it had been attacked by wasps!

Perhaps it's similar to being swarmed by wasps.

Ivan was warmly "treated" by the jellyfish...

[Ivan has fallen! (crying)]

[Hahaha, sorry I couldn't help it, Ivan, you're still the bravest Ivan!]

[His face is swollen like a pig's head...]

The atmosphere at the Russian command center was awkward for a moment.

Maxi coughed loudly, trying to save face for his player.

"This is the fearless spirit of our brave warriors from the Bear Nation!"

He earnestly and forcefully explained.

"Knowing these creatures are highly poisonous, they still chose the most efficient way to acquire resources for the team!"

on deck,

As Aurora prayed, light enveloped Ivan.

The red rashes quickly subsided, and the bluish-purple lips gradually regained their color.

"call……"

Aurora's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat as she took the roasted sea dragon meat that Klaus handed her and ate it in small bites.

Consuming the meat of energy-rich mutant organisms is the fastest way to replenish energy.

While Aurora was treating Ivan,

They completely decomposed all those jellyfish; it was truly a windfall.

[Obtained: 36 transparent biomembranes, 6 fluorescent glands, 5 paralyzing toxins, 5 hallucinogenic toxins]

We harvested 36 transparent biofilms in one go!

Ivan's impulsive move wiped out almost half of the KPIs...

Renyi finds him extremely pleasing to the eye now.

"Cough...cough cough..."

On the deck, Ivan coughed violently and slowly woke up.

His eyes were still a little dazed. He subconsciously touched his face, where the swelling had completely subsided, leaving only a slight tingling sensation.

"Boss! Look!"

He casually put away the panel, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You've gained a lot; you've indeed made a significant contribution."

"But we can discuss it next time."

"After all, your life is far more important than a pile of materials."

The value of Ivan's [Deepsea Barbarian] sequence far exceeds that of a pile of materials for which substitutes can be found at any time.

After a long pause, Ivan scratched the back of his head, lowered his head, and said sullenly:

"Understood, boss."

"Alright," Ren Yi laughed, "now let's brainstorm how to get the jellyfish out of here."

"Perhaps...we could make a net?"

Aurora suggested.

This is the most direct and safest method.

"The net area cannot be too large."

Klaus immediately pointed out the problem from a technical perspective.

"Otherwise, the underwater resistance would make it very difficult to control. And since only Ivan can dive for extended periods, who would help him hold the net open underwater?"

Ivan scratched his head, realizing that this was indeed a difficult problem.

"Ivan is in charge of holding up one side of the net underwater..."

Renyi slowly raised his fishing rod, pointed the tip of the rod at the distant sea, and wore a gentle smile on his face.

"On the other side, I can just hook it with this, right?"

"..."

“…………”

After a moment of silence, Klaus's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

Using a fishing rod... to fish with a net?

How could you even think of that!

Ivan's eyes lit up. "Great idea, boss!"

Klaus pinched the bridge of his nose and quickly reviewed the feasibility of the plan.

Renyi simply stuffed the remaining large bundle of [strong bio-fiber] into his arms.

"Thanks a lot."

Klaus finally resigned himself to his fate, turned around, and walked towards the open space on the deck.

"Do you think engineers are omnipotent...? They even have to make fishing nets. I'm not a fisherman..."

[Hahaha, that tsundere old man!]

[They say no, but their bodies betray them by starting to plan.]

[Random: That's right, engineers are omnipotent (doge).]

Aurora smiled and followed, picking up a roll of fiber and starting to organize it, just like Klaus.

A giant fishing net slowly took shape.

Ivan wanted to help but couldn't get involved, so he could only pace back and forth on the deck like a bear waiting for its meal.

at last,

After tying the last perfect knot, the giant net, large enough to catch a shark, was completed.

"alright!"

Ivan picked up a corner of the fishing net and shook it. "Sturdy!"

Arbitrarily attach the fishing hook of [Pudu] firmly to the other end of the fishing net.

"Ivan, once you're in the water, find the jellyfish colony, set up your net, and leave the rest to me."

"Don't worry, boss!"

Ivan, carrying the fishing net, walked to the side of the boat, turned back, and gave the crowd a thumbs-up.

Then it plunged into the sea like a cannonball.

"Thump—!"

A huge splash of water erupted, soaking Klaus completely.

"!"

Klaus, who had just dried his hands, froze.
