The male supporting character was actually myself.

That night, Jiang Yuan was in a state of turmoil, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

On the second day of the game, he got his hands on that enhanced palm mattress, and it was incredibly comfortable to sleep on!

After a good night's sleep, all the fatigue in my body is gone, and I feel refreshed and full of energy.

But now, the room only has an empty floor, which is hard and cold to sleep on.

There is a small section of deck outside with its own sofa.

But the place is too small; it's more like a place to sit, enjoy the breeze, and admire the scenery.

It's uncomfortable to sleep curled up, and with the cold sea breeze and nothing to cover yourself with, you're likely to catch a cold.

In the vast ocean where there is no medicine yet, even a cold can be fatal, so Jiang Yuan dared not be careless and had to make do with the night on the floor inside the house.

[Daily check-in successful]

[Gain: 100% Luck buff! Duration: 2 hours.]

These are two hours entirely yours to maximize your chances of achieving your desires. Of course, the more outlandish your wish, the lower the chance of it coming true. Don't set your sights too high; start with realistic wishes!

A strange feeling emanating from within enveloped my entire body.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and made a wish, "I want Jiang Chen to die suddenly, and for the boat to float downstream and arrive at my side in half an hour!"

I want braised pork knuckle, roast chicken, roast duck, and all sorts of delicious food;

I need a lot of resources to upgrade all existing tools to the highest level;

I'm going to encounter a super-large island rich in resources..."

"Achoo!" Jiang Chen suddenly sneezed, a chill running down his spine. "Strange, this feeling is really unpleasant..."

The little white cat, which had been lying lazily on the deck, sprang up and darted to its host's side. It scratched the host's back a couple of times with its paws and pulled out a black, worm-like thing.

"Host, the protagonist Jiang Yuan has placed a curse on you!"

The little white cat gripped the black line, its face contorted with rage. It puffed out its cheeks and grumbled, "This wretched system is actually playing curses right under my nose?"

"Heh, the protagonist probably doesn't know what happens when a failed curse backfires."

"A curse can backfire?" Jiang Chen looked at the black line with curiosity. "The protagonist is bound to a sign-in system, so how come he's playing with curses now?"

What would happen if I were cursed by this thing?

After careful analysis, the fluffy dumpling proudly puffed out its chest and said, "This is my forte, host!"

As a legitimate system, I can decipher the messages emitted by this crooked and despicable system.

It seems that the protagonist receives some kind of lucky bonus, similar to having their wishes fulfilled.

Whether it will succeed depends on whether his idea is reasonable or not.

This curse was a wish he made, probably originally intended to kill the host directly, but the idea was not very practical, so the effect was greatly reduced.

If the curse isn't exposed, you'll fall ill.

Since it involves making a wish or casting a curse, there will naturally be some backlash.

The little white cat gave a mischievous smile and slapped the writhing black line away with its paw.

It clapped its paws and put its hands on its hips triumphantly, "The script should be updated soon, let's see what kind of retribution the protagonist will suffer!"

Chapter Twelve: Rescuing the Mermaid Princess

After breakfast, Jiang Chen placed the newly crafted compass in the cockpit.

Adding gasoline that had been successfully developed and merged multiple times, Jiang Chen started the yacht, and the small, beautiful, all-white yacht emitted an exhilarating roar.

"Wow, that's awesome!" The little white cat sat on the roof of the cabin, sticking out its pink little tongue and excitedly bouncing around, its round little bottom swaying in the wind, its long tail swinging wildly.

"Host, where are we going?" The fluffy little dumpling, having had its fill of fun, hopped into the cockpit and asked.

Jiang Chen glanced at the script, which hadn't been updated yet, and explained, "In the previous plot, didn't the protagonist acquire a mermaid princess?"

We have to rescue her before the main character does.

The little white cat immediately became interested, "The Little Mermaid Princess? Host, are you going to steal the protagonist's wife?"

"Didn't you pay attention to the plot again?"

He steered his yacht at an incredible speed across the vast ocean, leaving a trail of white wake in his wake.

"In the original storyline, after the protagonist annexed my ship, he obtained a compass blueprint and created a compass that functioned as radar."

The intermediate compass can detect distances very far, so when Jiang Yuan was drifting with the waves on the second night, he found traces of a large school of fish at a certain coordinate location, so he drove his yacht to chase after it.

It turns out that a group of sharks are attacking the mermaid princess, and Jiang Yuan plays the hero who saves the damsel in distress.

If that's all there is to it, I won't get involved. The protagonist also has the right to pursue happiness.

The problem is that the Little Mermaid is only sixteen years old, a minor.

The protagonist lusts after her beauty and uses all sorts of scheming and flirtatious tactics under the guise of pursuing love.

In the end, the innocent Little Mermaid took the bait. When the other mermaids came looking for her, the Little Mermaid princess, who had been brainwashed, chose to abandon her family and stay by the protagonist's side.

They actually staged a raft survival version of "The Little Mermaid".

Because not long after, the protagonist, who kept saying he would be with one person for life, turned around and took the Conch Girl as his wife.

I'm not trying to steal the protagonist's wife.

My purpose in coming here is to save a young girl who is about to be scammed and to show her the wickedness of human nature.

Why can't you just be a proper princess?

Why should I follow this scumbag and suffer for the rest of my life?

Not only did she have no children of her own, but she also had to give up her immortality, dividing her lifespan among the protagonist and his harem sisters, allowing him to enjoy himself for hundreds of years with multiple women serving one man.

The little white cat fumed after hearing the plot, "Heh, Jiang Yuan must be the plot's favorite son, right? He gets all the good things in the world!"

"Isn't this the treatment all protagonists receive?" Jiang Chen laughed, unfazed. "Especially in this kind of plot, the protagonist gets all the meat while others might not even get a sip of soup. They practically expect the sun to revolve around the protagonist, let alone the supporting characters."

As the protagonist, Jiang Yuan, sailed his yacht towards the distant sea, he was beaming with delight at the bountiful harvest on board.

Half an hour had passed, and Jiang Chen was neither dead nor had the yacht reached him.

It seems that this wish falls into the category of wishful thinking.

"Heh, consider yourself lucky!" Jiang Yuan sneered, picking up the construction hammer and hammering away to upgrade his equipment as quickly as possible.

Although many wishes were not fulfilled, the most realistic ones were achieved.

For example, regarding supplies, after making a wish, you suddenly discover an island in the distance.

The abundance of resources is simply astonishing!

The lucky buff ended quickly, during which Jiang Yuan racked his brains and made countless wishes.

Although the final result still could not make up for the losses caused by the previous accumulated losses, the effect of two hours of good luck still made his wealth quickly surpass that of ordinary survivors.

At the very least, it has been upgraded with advanced salvage hooks, enhanced seawater purifiers, and enhanced fire grills.

Jiang Chen previously assumed that the protagonist crafted so many high-level equipment pieces from blueprints, but that wasn't actually the case. He didn't actually obtain many blueprints himself; instead, he traded food for some that would be useful in the future.

Under the protagonist's halo, Jiang Yuan obtained a large amount of high-level equipment and resources by signing in and opening chests.

Resources are used to upgrade ships, while equipment is so readily available that crafting steps are skipped.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan, who currently lacks high-level blueprints, can only slowly upgrade from low-level to higher levels. Manufacturing these items with a low-level upgrade hammer is quite laborious, and Jiang Yuan grumbles as he hammers away.

"You dare steal my things, Jiang Chen, you're dead!"

I'll smash you to death!

I'll smash you to death!

"My epic toolbox, one day you'll have to pay it back on your knees!"

Jiang Yuan, who was covered in sweat after working hard for half a day, stood up to wipe his sweat and rest. Suddenly, a cold wind blew over, and he couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Oh no, this cool breeze isn't making me feel quite uncomfortable."

Afraid of catching a cold and getting sick, he dropped the hammer and ran to the shower room, not hesitating to use the wooden planks, turned on the shower, adjusted the temperature to a slightly higher level, and took a good hot shower.

After drying himself off, Jiang Yuan lay down on a simple bed made of palm leaves, covered with two layers of cloth, trying to cool off the sweat.

However, for some reason, the cold wind from before seemed to still linger in my body.

He drank hot water, soaked his feet in hot water, and lay down to rest, but he didn't feel any better until he fell asleep.

After sleeping in a daze for most of the day, Jiang Yuan woke up to find that he had missed two opportunities to salvage supplies that day.

"Oh no, I have a fever!" He touched his forehead and felt it was burning hot. He got up to get some hot water, but he felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he were walking on cotton. He was weak and had no strength at all.

As a top soldier, Jiang Yuan was naturally proficient in various physical cooling methods.

However, as night fell, all that did was make me feel worse and worse!

"God bless me, let me feel better tomorrow..." Jiang Yuan prayed weakly before drifting off to sleep.

As night fell, a full moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool, clear light.

The little white kitten was dozing in its host's arms, purring softly.

The sea was rippling with gentle waves, and the moonlight was like a layer of shattered silver, constantly breaking and then overlapping.

"The script hasn't been updated yet, hopefully the original plot hasn't started to change." Jiang Chen stopped the boat and waited quietly.

To avoid any unnecessary complications, he moored his yacht a little further away from the location of the incident, intending to wait until the situation was discovered before heading over.

The plot doesn't specify the exact time, but it should be late at night.

After the protagonist rescued the unconscious Little Mermaid Princess and fled the scene, he then took a good look at the Sleeping Mermaid's perfect face in the dim light of dawn.

And then, under the guise of being unable to resist, he secretly took advantage of her...

"Drip drip!"

Jiang Chen didn't know how long he had been in a daze when the compass emitted a rapid alarm.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Are sharks coming?" The little white cat jumped up, wiping the drool from its mouth with a hint of panic. "Host, I'll take the helm in a bit. You go and rescue the mermaid, and we'll run away right away!"
