Chapter 7: Upgrade your ship and reap abundant rewards.
As Ye Fan's side lost fish and meat, large quantities of wood and iron blocks began to appear on the deck of the Fisherman's Ship. Looking at these supplies that kept appearing, he was filled with excitement.
Then, many survivors sent friend requests to Ye Fan, but Ye Fan rejected all of them.
The reason is simple: most people who want to become his friends want to get "discount coupons" from him, and some shameless ones even want to get things for free. To avoid trouble, he chooses to refuse them all.
He then sent another message in the regional channel: "In 30 minutes, I will put another 300 units of fish meat on the market. If you have any good items, you can put them on the trading platform."
"Holy crap! How did you do that?! You managed to get 300 units of fish in just 30 minutes? Are you crazy?!"
"I'm a little curious, what kind of ship did Boss Ye Fan start with? Could it be a fishing boat for long-distance voyages? Or some kind of large attack ship?"
"Let's all watch from the sidelines, how did you manage to get 300 units of fish meat? It took me an hour or two to catch a palm-sized sea fish."
"Li Ming, who was somewhat famous on the channel before, was supposedly a professional angler, but he only managed to catch about twenty units of fish meat in an hour!"
...
When everyone saw what Ye Fan had just said, they were immediately shocked. They never imagined that the gap between people could be so huge. While they were still struggling to find food, Ye Fan had already achieved food freedom.
Compared to this, it's like comparing heaven and earth!
"Finally, the problem of fish oversupply is solved. Once this round of transactions is completed, I can collect the materials to upgrade the Fisherman's Boat."
"..."
Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He had just put 300 units of fish meat on the shelves, and they were all snapped up. Currently, 300 units of fish meat had disappeared from the deck of the Fisherman's Ship, and in their place appeared various materials needed to upgrade the ship.
Next, we can upgrade the Fisherman's Boat!
Thinking of this, he brought up the Fisherman's detailed information, and a message pop-up immediately appeared in front of him.
Fisherman's Boat
[Level: Extraordinary Level 1]
[Ship Status: Durability 197/200, Capacity 500 units, Speed 80 knots]
【升级需要材料：200/200单位木块，100/100单位铁块，20/20单位塑料。】
[Our current resources meet the upgrade requirements. Do you wish to upgrade immediately?]
.......
Ye Fan chose to upgrade immediately.
The next moment, a notification sound rang in Ye Fan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations! You are the first survivor in channel 44401 to upgrade your ship. Would you like to announce this in the channel?]
[Your reputation will increase after this announcement!]
Ye Fan glanced at it, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately said, "I choose the channel announcement!"
After all, these are free reputation points, so why not take them!
[Ding! Congratulations, survivor Ye Fan, you have become the first person in the channel to upgrade your ship to Tier 2! It seems you should be able to survive the tsunami that will occur in three days.]
.....
Upon seeing this almost mocking reminder, Ye Fan's expression remained unchanged, but his attention was drawn to the tsunami mentioned in the message box. Good heavens, a huge tsunami is going to erupt in three days?
They really don't intend for anyone to live a peaceful life!
However, although Ye Fan complained inwardly, he did not panic. After all, given his development speed, who knew what would happen in three days?
What's more, he also has a system!
The system is my biggest trump card, and also my greatest source of confidence to survive in this world!
[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a seawater desalination device, a fish oil refining machine blueprint, a relic-grade waterproof fish skin suit, 20 x 600ml mineral water, 1 x relic-grade pirate captain's revolver, and your regional reputation has increased by 500 points!]
.....
Glancing at the rewards he had just received, Ye Fan was even more excited. So many useful device blueprints, and weapons and equipment that he could use very soon!
This reward truly hit the spot; it was exactly what he needed right now!
Before the reward notification had faded, another text box popped up in front of Ye Fan. It turned out that the Fisherman's Ship panel, which had just been upgraded, had been automatically refreshed.
Fisherman's Boat
[Level: Extraordinary Level 2]
[Ship Status: Durability 400/400, Capacity 1500 units, Speed 90 knots]
【Skill:
Fishing Assistant: You can recruit a fisherman with full loyalty by consuming 200 units of fish meat. The fisherman can catch treasure fish, each of which has a magical effect! (Fishing assistants can be recruited 2/6 times)
Never Go Home Empty-Handed: All creatures on this ship will never go home empty-handed when fishing, and the fishing yield will be greatly increased, with a huge boost to the probability of catching fish!
Fish Identification Technique: When fishing on the Fisherman's Boat, only beneficial fish will be hooked; a warning will be issued when harmful fish are caught!
[Expandable Buildings: Fisherman's Fishing Net Gun, Fishing Boat Searchlight, Crew Quarters x2]
......
The Fisherman has been successfully upgraded to Superb Level 2, which brings about significant changes. First, the hull has been extended from 13 meters to 20 meters, and the width has reached 8 meters. The rigidity of the deck and hull has been greatly improved, and all other data have also been enhanced!
Durability increased from 200 to 400 points, and speed also increased by 10 knots!
The most crucial capacity has also been increased from 500 units to 1500 units!
Even the captain's cabin where he was located had more than doubled in size, and the walls of the cabin had become more sturdy, unlike the simple cabin before.
After witnessing the changes to the Fisherman's Ship, Ye Fan's attention was immediately drawn to the searchlight on the fishing boat in the section for expandable buildings.
[Architecture: Fishing Boat Searchlight]
[Effect: Installed at the bow of the ship, it can illuminate a 40-meter-deep area in all directions, revealing schools of fish and the movements of treasure fish. There's even a chance to find treasure chests hidden under the reefs!]
[Construction Requirements: Moonstone x1, Energy Core x3, Glass x50, Iron Block x50]
.....
After reading about the construction requirements for fishing boat searchlights, Ye Fan had a general understanding of the materials needed to make them and a rough idea of what to expect.
"Is it permissible to survey the surrounding waters at a depth of forty meters?"
"This is a really good thing."
Ye Fan had been in this world for several hours, so he naturally knew just how important it was to have a spotlight to see the surrounding sea in this world that was almost entirely ocean!
Although we don't have these materials right now, they will definitely be the main targets of our future search.
