Soon, Jiang Yuan's snoring could be heard in the tranquil Sea of Death. Something was gently swaying in the thick fog, and ripples appeared on the calm water before disappearing without a trace.
The islands, the ancient shipwrecks, and the massive masts with tattered sails seemed motionless, yet their positions gradually shifted. Soon, the state-of-the-art modern yacht was adrift on the sea, gently turning and propelled further and further away by the current...
"Why hasn't the script been updated?" The little white cat perched on its host's shoulder, its tiny paws jingling as it held the short outline page. "Could it be that even with the host's great development, it doesn't seem to have any impact on the protagonist?"
Jiang Chen glanced at it and chuckled, "Most likely they're too lazy to bother with the protagonist and are just letting things go."
In the simple outline provided in the script, the protagonist Jiang Yuan is the first person to obtain the treasure map.
We're almost at the point of finding the treasure, but the obviously illogical plot hasn't been updated.
The script is probably already dead. At most, he'll get some protagonist's halo to avoid getting killed by sea monsters or something, but otherwise, whatever.
"Then there's no need to look anymore, let's just sit back and wait to harvest the treasure!" The little white cat threw the script aside and started playing with its fluffy tail.
The storm outside the window had subsided, and apart from the thick fog, only indistinct and strangely shaped shadows could be seen.
"Captain, we've entered the inner perimeter near the treasure. All positioning and navigation instruments, except for the treasure map, are malfunctioning," Nightshade reported. "The seawater here feels a bit off; there's a high possibility of something strange lurking in the depths! I've activated all weapons, ready for a precision strike!"
"Okay, continue towards our destination, but slow down and watch out for reefs and obstacles."
"Yes, Captain!"
Night Misa was on high alert.
Fortunately, as the ships are constantly being upgraded, their integration is also increasing, and now controlling the superyacht is as easy as using an arm.
Wow! It looks so cool from this angle!
"It matches all my imaginations about treasure hunting at sea!"
"It has a very retro feel to it, like something out of a vintage movie. If we were sailing a vintage boat instead of a yacht, it would feel even more like one."
"Luckily, we are well-integrated, otherwise we might have crashed into such a suddenly appearing obstacle."
The ship girls stood at the bow, watching the huge, ancient ship, mostly submerged in the sea with only a small portion visible, pass by, and sighed in amazement.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Everything You Can Imagine Is Here!
Jiang Yuan, having had a good night's sleep, rubbed his face and got out of bed. If it weren't for the hunger pangs in his stomach, he probably wouldn't have woken up from his deep sleep due to exhaustion.
"Damn! Where am I?" After calming down, Jiang Yuan grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth, but then his gaze fell on the window and he was dumbfounded!
The light mist outside the window had almost disappeared, and he could clearly see the churning seawater and the low, dark clouds that occasionally flashed with lightning, thundered, and brought torrential rain.
"Damn it!" Jiang Yuan cursed a few times, then hurriedly turned the yacht around and took control of the steering wheel.
If it gets any later, I'll be plunging into the storm again. The seawater is surging up and crashing down. If it weren't for my strong abilities that allowed me to escape danger many times, other survivors would have been buried at sea long ago.
He didn't want to go through that again, so with a bit of relief, he slowly drove into the tranquil Sea of Death, following the instructions on the treasure map once more.
"It's alright, it's alright, it only took six hours. Jiang Chen probably didn't even make it halfway. Unlike me, he's a former elite soldier with abilities that are hard for ordinary people to match!"
"Given his pace with the child in tow, and considering his frequent breaks, even half the distance is an overestimation..."
Jiang Yuan muttered to himself as he ate a sandwich to replenish his energy while carefully maneuvering the yacht among the ancient shipwrecks and various reefs.
He was clearly very satisfied with his skills; an ordinary person would have been killed long ago by hitting the reef, but he managed to avert danger several times with his extremely fast reaction speed.
"This time we must press on with our momentum, retrieve the treasure, and get far away from this area before we rest!"
Having rested and recuperated, Jiang Yuan was full of confidence and anticipation for the treasure within his grasp.
At the same time, Jiang Chen hugged the two pretty ship girls and kissed them. "Luckily I have you two. Otherwise, if I were to drive the yacht through such complicated waters by myself, I would probably wear down my spirit very quickly."
If one loses focus, the ship could sink and everyone on board could perish at any moment.
“Yes, it is.” After observing carefully for a moment, Amy pointed to the seawater and said softly, “The seawater here is very strange. It seems to be motionless and requires the ship’s own power to move forward.”
In reality, as soon as you stop, you will be slowly carried away.
And they quickly lose their sense of direction!
Yemisa announced over the loudspeaker, "Please return to your rooms immediately, we are about to enter the tunnel!"
Back in the spacious living room, Jiang Chen glanced at the clock and realized that he had been slowly sailing on the Sea of Death for nearly ten hours without realizing it.
This is why the ship girls are so adept at controlling the ship and can take turns resting. Other survivors, without powerful items, would probably get lost here very quickly.
Of course, this excludes the protagonist Jiang Yuan, who has a halo of invincibility.
If he had just a little perseverance, he could most likely have succeeded single-handedly.
The soft lights in the living room turned on automatically. He glanced out the window, where the damp stone wall was right in front of him.
Sometimes Jiang Chen even felt that he might hit the edge of the yacht at any moment!
A suffocating sense of oppression descends, making one involuntarily afraid to even breathe.
"It seems this tunnel automatically adjusts to the size of the ship. Besides testing patience and skill, it's more of a mental challenge." He took a few deep breaths to calm down and could only chat with the ship girls to distract himself.
That feeling of being swallowed by a fish, filled with pressure and uncertainty, is really unpleasant.
"Amy went to help Nightmisa pilot the yacht. Captain, shall we play a game?"
Wearing a cool red and white swimsuit, Fei leaned on his shoulder and swayed affectionately, "I went too far yesterday. I lost two nights of sleeping with someone else. I have to win it back!"
"Oh?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Who did you lose to? It's okay, if you really can't win back, I can consider working overtime at noon."
The aloof beauty, Xueye, crossed her arms and said expressionlessly, "A bet is a bet."
You can win it back on your own, but you can't make the captain work overtime!
Fei pouted, unconvinced. "Hmph, then let's continue. I'll definitely win back! And I'll win all of yours!"
"And then change all the sheets?" Christine covered her mouth and laughed. "Amy will definitely be furious."
"Don't say that again! It only happened once or twice!"
How often do you work shifts? Is it almost every time?
"Actually, I can't quite imagine that kind of situation. Is it like being carried and held by the captain?"
"The back? Wouldn't it be interesting to look in the mirror like that?"
……
The topic gradually veered off course, and the little white cat covered its face and hopped away, leaving Yingying and Yanyan to continue their discussion with Jiang Chen.
"Captain, we're inside!" About two hours later, Nightshade came in and reminded us, "We should be in a large cave now. There's no danger and everything is normal."
Jiang Chen, embracing the ship girls, called out, "Let's go, let's go get the treasure!"
Amy stayed behind to guard the ship, while Ye Misha led six ship girls to surround Jiang Chen tightly despite objections. Fully armed, they walked along a damp coastline into a small tunnel, and after a few minutes, the tunnel entrance suddenly opened up.
"Wow! We're rich!" The money-grubbing little white cat's eyes gleamed with gold as it jumped off its host's shoulder, completely losing its previous trembling fear.
It rolled around and reveled in the pile of gleaming gold coins, shouting that it had struck it rich.
Jiang Chen glanced around and saw piles and boxes of gold and silver jewelry in the huge cave. The glittering jewels illuminated the dark cave slightly.
The scene before my eyes perfectly matched all my imaginations of a treasure.
Everything you can think of is here!
Fist-sized, uncut gemstones of various colors; strings of large, round pearl necklaces; exquisitely intricate vintage necklaces adorned with gemstones; scepters; piles and piles of gold coins; gold bars and silver ingots…
A mountain of treasures, both familiar and unfamiliar, dazzled the eye.
The ship girls looked on curiously and whispered among themselves, "Gold and silver jewelry is great, but what use is it here?"
"It's probably for psychological enjoyment; after all, anyone would be happy to see these things."
Jiang Chen followed the path in the middle up to a three-story-high stone platform, where a row of wooden shelves were placed.
The bottles and jars contain seeds of all kinds of fruits, vegetables, grains and crops. They are labeled as compressed packages, and the seeds obtained after decompression are enough to plant millions of hectares of land.
The compressed box contains various materials, enough to build a large city!
The last row consists of five layers, each containing five bottles of different sizes, each with a vintage ship sailing through a storm.
Jiang Chen stared intently at one of the ships, then couldn't help raising an eyebrow. "It can't be real, can it? The Black Pearl?"
He was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure it out, so he waved his hand to put all the items on the shelf into the system space. He turned around and walked towards the treasure chest placed at the highest point of the stone platform. Just as he was about to open it, the little white cat shouted at him: "Host, don't move yet!"
Usually, opening the last chest might reveal a monster or allow you to make a wish.
If they manage to get us out of here, all that gold and silver will be wasted!
Let's assemble it first, quick, quick, quick! I'll help you assemble it, you just need to pretend for the ship girls to see.
We won't leave a single gold thread behind!
Chapter Forty: The Final Chapter
The money-grubbing cat is so excited; perhaps these things will come in handy in other mission worlds.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to step down from the stone platform and begin looting gold and silver jewelry to ensure the thorough implementation of the "Three Alls Policy".
"Captain, everything's been completely moved out!" Fei looked eagerly at the only unopened wooden crate, his face full of anticipation. "What good stuff is inside?"
Nightsha raised her gun, ready to fire, "Maybe it seals away some strange things."
"It's not a seal." Jiang Chen waved his hand to signal her not to be too nervous.
Then, he brushed away the dust from the wooden box and opened the exquisite wooden box that had been there for who knows how long.
A flash of light appeared, and then the screen seemed to freeze for a moment.
After returning to normal in an instant, four playing cards appeared from the wooden box, indicating which one he should choose.
"Meow! How dare you play tricks on my host!" The little white cat angrily slapped the four cards a few times and said in a huff, "Host, I saw that there were only two cards in there originally, but the system lags and suddenly there are four."
This is a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters and avoid giving us any benefits!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget the script hasn't been updated yet."
The raft survival game's system still follows the original storyline.
It is estimated that the scan detected that Jiang Yuan, who was not the intended recipient, opened the treasure chest, so an emergency mechanism was temporarily activated.
"Choose whatever you like. We'll just stay here after we get out and wait for Jiang Yuan to take the bait!"
The little white cat's eyes lit up. "Wonderful!"
