93: Chapter 93 The Unlucky One's Path to Self-Redemption

The deck under the night sky, the sea breeze was cool.

Sa Wanwan stood alone by the ship's railing, letting the cool sea breeze brush against her heroic face.

At her feet, the good grade alloy fishing rod gifted by the system had vanished into the air as specks of light because its durability had been exhausted.

And her stomach was still growling with hunger.

She had been here for the entire afternoon and evening, trying to prove her so-called self-reliance through her own actions.

However, reality had slapped her hard in the face.

[Alloy Power fishing rod], characteristic [Ten Casts, Eight Empty].

It seemed that God was playing a huge joke on her.

She felt that she was both extremely unlucky and incredibly lucky.

In the span of an afternoon, she had cast her line over a hundred times, yet she had only fished up three treasure chests.

This bad luck was truly unparalleled.

But what was absurd was that all three of these treasure chests were black iron treasure chests that could only be fished up with an extremely small probability!

This luck was also excessively good.

But even more absurdly, what was opened from these three precious black iron treasure chests were all sorts of rare forging materials, and there were even a few pieces of Excellent Grade ore.

However, there wasn't even a single bottle of water or a piece of bread.

She didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky.

This was the self-reliance she had been so proud of.

The result was that she had starved herself until she was dizzy and lightheaded.

Sigh... Sa Wanwan sighed, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Just then, footsteps came from behind her.

Chu Mengyao walked over, carrying a cup of hot milk.

Here, drink some. She handed the cup over.

Sa Wanwan was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Mengyao in front of her, then at the steaming cup of milk. Her lips moved, but she didn't take it.

What? Still can't let go of your ridiculous pride?

Chu Mengyao looked at her, her tone somewhat helpless.

After all, she was still a kind-hearted young lady.

Seeing Sa Wanwan in this state, she couldn't bear it.

She felt that Sa Wanwan needed a way out right now.

Just like herself when she was about to starve to death.

Sa Wanwan's stomach growled again, betraying her.

She was just too hungry.

In the end, reason triumphed over pride.

She silently took the milk and started drinking it in small sips.

The warm liquid slid into her stomach, dispelling some of the cold and hunger, and also allowing her tense heart to relax slightly.

Thank you. She hung her head, her voice very soft.

Don't thank me. Chu Mengyao stood beside her, looking at the distant sea surface, and said softly, I just don't want to see anyone starve to death on this ship.

Sa Wanwan fell silent.

She knew that her words and actions today had likely offended everyone on the ship.

Now, apart from Chu Mengyao, no one was likely willing to pay attention to her.

Thinking of the smile-but-not-a-smile look Su Mei had given her when she left in the afternoon, and that meaningful warning, Sa Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine.

That woman's aura was simply too powerful.

She didn't know if it was because of her mature and charming temperament, or because of her terrifying strength that crushed her own normal grade, reaching the peak of good grade.

In front of Su Mei, she felt like a small ant that could be crushed to death at any moment.

Besides fear, there was also a strong sense of sourness and envy in her heart.

Yes, envy.

Because during the day, she had seen with her own eyes that Li Taiping had distributed the [Frost Fruit] that emitted an alluring chill, which he had obtained in the dungeon, and the [good grade Resurrection Scroll] that represented a life, to those seven girls who had already had intimate physical contact with him.

One for each person, without any stinginess.

And precisely because of this, the strength of each of those seven girls had directly advanced to the terrifying peak of good grade!

Each person also had an extra Resurrection Scroll that could save their life!

But the three of them who had newly joined had nothing.

She was the most miserable one, not even having food to eat.

However... Sa Wanwan glanced at the room on the third floor with the lights on, her eyes somewhat complex.

That green tea named Lin Shishi would probably have it soon too.

Because she knew that woman had proactively gone to serve in bed in order to gain power and status.

She was envious; she also wanted those things.

Who didn't want to become stronger? Who didn't want a backup plan?

But thinking that to obtain those things, she would have to be like Lin Shishi and perform that so-called Many Children, Many Blessings Ritual, she felt a very strange sensation in her heart.

She didn't reject physical contact with a powerful man, and was even somewhat looking forward to it.

But it always felt strange to have such an exchange with a clear purpose.

She couldn't put down her pride; she was very proud.

However, she was hungry right now.

Reality was just that cruel.
