The male supporting character was actually myself.

Okay, fine, just post a screenshot of your ship being upgraded to a yacht from your logbook, and I'll tell you!

"Isn't the expert using the same raft survival game as us? Isn't bait something we use at the start?"

"Has this expert never fished before? I seem to remember someone mocking us in the channel, saying we're all useless and can't even fish."

"You don't even know where to get the bait. Where did you get the fish you used to plunder everyone's supplies?"

……

The channel was immediately filled with doubts and ridicule.

Jiang Yuan was furious, and felt a pang of regret for the epic toolbox that was given as a gift in the newbie pack.

The epic fishing rod doesn't need any bait at all; it will catch fish every time!

Most importantly, you can also occasionally fish up some mysterious packages and open them to get rare blueprints or something.

But now...

He clenched his fists and angrily cursed, "Jiang Chen, it's all your fault!"

You just wait, I'll tear you to pieces someday to vent my hatred!

"Ah!"

Jiang Chen, who was still hammering and banging under the scorching sun, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and laughed, "It must be the protagonist cursing me. He has nothing right now and is probably suffering from thirst and hunger."

He should experience the hardships others go through at the beginning.

They rely on their superior abilities and have never suffered hardship or pain, yet they turn around and mock those who exploit others.

King of Soldiers?

"Ha, I think he's the King of Turtles!"

The little white kitten held an ice cream in its paws, licking it while watching the chat channel and gossiping online. "Hehe, the protagonist asked a question that only a newbie would ask, and now he's being mocked!"

However, I'm also very curious.

After making a basic fishing rod, where do I get the bait?

"There's no need to make bait." The original owner had worked his way up step by step from the beginning, so he naturally retained this basic operation in his memories. Jiang Chen explained, "After you have a basic fishing rod, you'll need to make a simple fishing rod holder."

Once you've set up the fishing rod, the system will automatically add bait.

In beginner-friendly waters, the fish are small but plentiful, so using a basic fishing rod isn't too difficult.

It's estimated that the beginner-level waters have been cleared, and fishing has become more difficult.

However, larger fish also have more health benefits and physical attributes.

Basically, 90% of people have upgraded their fishing rods to intermediate or higher levels, so catching enough fish to eat is not too difficult.

However, the protagonist likely only has a low-level fishing rod; whether he can catch any fish depends on how strong his protagonist's plot armor is.

"Tsk tsk tsk." The little white cat smacked its lips and shook its head. "There are actually people who support this kind of scum."

What a disappointment!

Someone told him he was making a fishing rod holder.

Draw a circle and curse him, may he starve to death if he can't catch any fish!

Jiang Chen straightened up and laughed, "Alright, how could the protagonist die now?"

We're getting ready to upgrade to a smaller yacht, Xiaobai, step back a bit.

"Wait until I finish building and upgrading this last section!"

Chapter 8: The Showdown Between Two Overpowered Players

As the progress bar for upgrading the last plank was completed, a flash of light transformed the original super-large sailboat into a brand-new, beautiful small yacht, entirely white!

"It wasn't a waste of my time working all day." Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead; building and upgrading the structure by swinging a hammer was indeed hard work.

The constant hammering and banging made my arms start to ache slightly.

Fortunately, the small yacht was finally completed by noon. After the interior upgrades are finished, we can start making furniture, appliances, and various utensils to decorate the rooms.

The little white cat patted its fluffy paws, its eyes sparkling with pink hearts. "What a beautiful little yacht! It's so stable and safe. It's a qualitative leap from large sailboats!"

Although they differ by only one level, the difference is like heaven and earth.

"That's more like it." Jiang Chen chuckled, patting the sofa that was built into the deck as he carried the epic-level construction hammer. "This is why we can cheat and just take out the materials from our inventory and use them directly."

Aside from the main character, who also has a cheat code, it's very difficult for other survivors to upgrade their sailboat.

The fluffy ball massaged his shoulders with its paws and said in a soft voice, "Look how badly the protagonist has bullied us! If he can use cheat codes, we must be able to too!"

I refuse to believe that such an adorable, cute, and righteous orthodox system as Cat Cat is worse than the protagonist's sign-in system.

"It's just a free system that can't even say a word, it just delivers things according to the protagonist's needs..."

It was grumbling when it suddenly stopped, "Host, that sign-in system is the protagonist's cheat code!"

It seems like they're sending him things based on his needs, so what do you think...?

Could he obtain something like a mobile turret, mech, or warship simply by checking in?

Based on the protagonist's petty and vindictive behavior;

Furthermore, since you've become enemies with him, and he's gotten a free, super-powerful weapon, won't he come looking for trouble?

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, "You've made great progress, Xiao Bai, by being mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace."

She's no longer the naive, innocent girl who just coasted along, expecting to win without effort.

Little white cat: (￣～￣;)

“However, you’re wrong about something.” He sat on the sofa, enjoying the sea breeze, and smiled slightly. “My feud with the protagonist didn’t stem from a confrontation.”

From the moment he seized my ship in an attempt to kill me, we became sworn enemies.

Without a doubt, once the protagonist has the ability, he will definitely want to kill me.

Moreover, his sign-in system will definitely give away mechs and warships.

However, it won't be delivered so soon.

The "golden finger" (a special ability or skill) must also conform to the laws of growth and development, so there should be a big gift package for signing in for a month;

You might only get a mech or warship if you sign in for a whole year.

So, we still have time.

As long as you synthesize the warship before the main character…

Jiang Chen didn't finish his sentence, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the vast sea, his thoughts unreadable.

Two hours later, the yacht's interior upgrade was finally completed.

"Host, there's a special place here for the seawater purifier!" The little white cat couldn't wait to jump into each room and check it out, excitedly saying, "There's even a shower room!"

Ah, I get it!

Once installed here, the seawater purifier can extract seawater from the ocean on its own, and the filtered, potable water will enter the water tank.

We have clean running water available at all times on the yacht!

"Wow, the toilet can be installed directly after construction, and the sewage pipe can be connected directly to the seawater after treatment!"

"We could put a big TV here!"

"We need to hang pretty blackout curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows, otherwise it'll be hard to sleep in until I naturally wake up in the morning..."

……

The fluffy little ball jumped around excitedly, while Jiang Chen could only see a white shadow darting back and forth.

He looked around the small, simple kitchen, where there was a designated spot for a fireplace.

Besides being used for cooking, it can also be used to regulate the temperature and power the yacht's heating system in winter. Apart from consuming a lot of wood, it has no other problems.

Take out the supplies that the little white cat scavenged from the protagonist Jiang Yuan from the system space.

Rare-grade fire grill;

Rare-grade seawater purifier.

As expected of the protagonist, while others were still struggling to salvage supplies at the beginning, the protagonist had already collected so many high-end items in one go.

It's likely that he didn't work his way up from low-level to high-level tools; he probably obtained them directly from high-level blueprints.

After all, it takes a lot of resources to start from the bottom and work your way up.

With readily available high-level blueprints, you can achieve the desired result in one step, saving a lot of resources.

Because of the game's mechanics, blueprints are rare items and must be distinctive to demonstrate their value.

After placing these two crucial pieces of equipment, Jiang Chen opened the valve and turned on the switch a moment later, and the purified tap water gushed out.

"Thank you so much, host!" The little white cat, which had been running around inside and out countless times, spread its limbs and pounced on Jiang Chen, moved to tears of happiness. "Thanks to the great host who worked tirelessly, I was able to stay on such a clean, beautiful and comfortable yacht on my first day in the mission world!"

Jiang Chen rubbed its fluffy little head and laughed, "The afternoon's supplies will be arriving soon. Let's finish this batch first, then come back and start making other things, and try to make our little nest more comfortable tonight."

"Yay!" The little white cat jumped up happily. "I want to keep opening boxes!"

This must be the most relaxed and carefree mission world I've ever been in. Although there are no games to play, the satisfaction of farming and building infrastructure within the game itself makes Rongtuanzi very excited.

It even thought that trying out farming games in its spare time might be a good idea.

At least it's easier than fighting games, it doesn't require high skill, and I don't get yelled at for dragging my teammates down every time...

Jiang Yuan stood on the platform at the back of the yacht again, holding a plastic hook, ready to salvage the supplies.

Although asking about fishing bait was met with ridicule and skepticism from others, a kind person kindly suggested that I build a fishing rod holder.

After fishing for half a day, he finally caught two fish before realizing that he didn't even have a fire grill!

If you don't want to eat raw fish slices, you'll have to wait until you've salvaged the supplies and then quickly make a basic fire grill.

The seawater purifier also needs to be upgraded quickly. Although I have high-level blueprints, the meager amount I salvaged this morning is simply not enough to manufacture it.

Water is a necessity and can't wait, so we'll upgrade it once we have some left after we finish making the fire grill.

At the very least, the purification speed must be sufficient for your daily drinking volume.
