11: Shameful sacrifice

"Fabric... is also fuel?" Li Yaozhi suddenly spoke up.

She remembered the pair of stockings Chen Du had forcibly taken from her earlier.

Chen Du's lips curled up, revealing a smile of "a child worth teaching": "As expected, the Study Committee Member's perspective has broadened."

"My talent is the [sacrifice notebook]. Just now, I tried hair, nails, and cookie crumbs, but none of it worked."

He paused, his gaze becoming playful: "But the intimate clothing you're wearing... to that perverted notebook, they're top-tier Sacrifices."

"Bullshit! You're just being a hooligan with a straight face!" Xia Lai wrapped her bathrobe tighter, trembling with rage.

She was going commando underneath; if she took it off, how would it be any different from streaking?

"You don't have to take it off." Chen Du pointed at the cabin door. "Turn left outside and jump; you'll make a nice snack for the sharks."

"I won't stop you; I might even cheer for you."

Xia Lai choked on her words.

Her lips trembled for a long time, but she didn't dare snap back.

"Eight minutes left."

Chen Du glanced at the death-knell countdown and locked his gaze onto An Nuonuo.

"Nuonuo, you first."

"Ah? Wu... I don't want to..."

An Nuonuo froze like a lop-eared rabbit cornered by a big bad wolf.

"Your puff skirt takes up too much space; the air layer inside will affect your mobility. Take it off, and I'll see if I can trade it for fuel." Chen Du's voice softened slightly.

Ye Qiu sighed and gently patted An Nuonuo's shoulder: "Nuonuo, just do it. Even though this guy is a lecher, he wants to survive even more than we do."

"Uh... okay..."

An Nuonuo sobbed aggrievedly.

Under everyone's complex gazes, she untied the drawstring of her skirt.

As the fabric slid down, a pair of glowing white, rounded thighs were exposed to the air.

Hello again, Officer Rabbit!

Due to the cold, goosebumps appeared on the girl's skin.

The absolute peak of "pure desire."

Chen Du took the pink puff skirt, still warm from the girl's body, and tossed it into the air.

"I Sacrifice!"

With a thought, the ancient notebook dormant in his mind suddenly woke up.

On the cover, a bloodshot, cloudy eye snapped open!

The eyeball rolled around before locking onto the phantom image of the puff skirt.

*Whoosh—!*

The pages turned on their own without any wind.

The single eye narrowed into a slit, revealing an extremely human-like expression of intoxication.

Dark red ink began to twist and crawl across the yellowed pages, slowly outlining lines of wicked text:

[Evaluating... sizzle...]

[Top grade! High-purity maiden body fragrance detected! Contains remnants of the "Child of the Weather" law!]

[Value Assessment: Excellent!]

The ink paused for a moment, and then three shimmering options slowly emerged:

1. [Survival Supplies]: 20kg of Wuchang Rice.

2. [Core Fuel]: 5 units of Standard Heavy Oil.

3. [Temporary Ability]: Wind-Blowing Technique, limited to 5 minutes.

[Since she's the Child of the Weather, giving you a bit of wind isn't asking too much, right?]

"Choose 2! All in!" Chen Du roared inwardly.

There was no other choice; fuel was what they lacked most right now!

*Clatter!*

An iron-gray fuel drum appeared out of thin air on the deck, and the fuel value on the console jumped accordingly.

"It... it really works?" Tang Ran's eyes widened, and her fists loosened.

At this moment, the expressions of all the girls became extremely vivid.

Shock, shame, absurdity, and a hint of relief that "this actually works."

As expected, the talent takes after its master!

...It's even more indecent than Chen Du!

"See that?"

Chen Du scanned the group of beautiful girls like a wolf. "This amount is only enough for one step on the gas. If you want to live, stop putting on the airs of a school beauty."

He pointed at Xia Xin.

"Big Sister Xia, that tight knit sweater of yours is nice. The material is dense, so it should burn well. Take it off."

Then he pointed at Tang Ran: "Sports Committee Member, I bet that little black tank top of yours can be traded for quite a bit of fuel, right?"

"I..." Tang Ran's face turned beet red, and she gritted her teeth.

She ripped off her headband and began unbuttoning her tank top.

"Damn it, fine! I'll just treat it like I'm scrubbing backs with my sisters in a bathhouse!"

"Quick! For your own sakes, everyone get moving!" Chen Du struck while the iron was hot.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the captain's cabin changed drastically.

If it had been a depressing execution ground before, it had now turned into the backstage dressing room of a Victoria's Secret show.

Ye Qiu was the first to respond.

As a medic, she valued efficiency above all else.

After her clean white shirt and school pants were taken by Chen Du, she was left in only a tube top and shorts, exuding a sort of stoic sexiness.

The three Xia sisters were an even more spectacular sight.

The eldest sister, Xia Xin, bit her lower lip and pulled off the knit sweater that had been stretched out of shape.

Her proud curves were finally freed from their restraints, making one's head spin.

The second sister, Xia Lai, cursed as she tore off the hem of her silk bathrobe: "That's all! Chen Du, you just wait! When I'm rich, I'll buy a whole ship's worth of clothes to strangle you with!"

The third sister, Xia Mo, was already only wearing silk underwear; now she was so ashamed she wanted to use her skill to vanish.

Blushing, she tore off a small piece of fabric and handed it to Chen Du. "I... I can only give you this much!"

Chen Du didn't mind and quickly took it.

He didn't forget to add: "Third Sister, thanks for your hard work!"

In a short time, a fragrant little mountain piled up in front of him.

Lace, cotton, cartoon prints, and some with bows.

The room was filled with the scents of various perfumes, body washes, and the unique fragrance of young girls.

The scent rushed straight to his head, nearly making a vigorous young man like Chen Du lose his composure.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his wandering thoughts.

He pressed both hands onto the pile of clothes.

"Sacrifice everything!"

[Evaluation: Large quantity of high-value Sacrifices... High concentration of female hormones detected...]

The notebook began to get excited... The notebook is high!

[Obtained: 30 units of Standard Fuel!]

[Obtained: Extra Easter Egg Reward—Pheromone Shield]

[Effect: Low-intelligence male monsters will develop a "mating illusion," reducing attack desire by 30%, with a chance to plunge certain perverted monsters into a confused state.]

*Hum!*

After refueling, the ferry jolted.

The fuel level soared, reaching the 35% safety line.

At the same time, a faint, pinkish-purple light quickly enveloped the entire ferry.

Chen Du looked at the system panel, his mind in a mess.

What the hell kind of skill is this?

Turning my doomsday warship into a succubus pleasure boat?

Instead of fighting sea monsters, are we going on cross-species blind dates?

He looked up to see a room full of pale skin.

Except for Ye Qiu, who was wrapped in a tube top, most of the other girls could only hug their arms and huddle together for warmth.

Pale, smooth thighs, delicate collarbones, looming curves... it was a severe test of a leader's willpower!

Li Yaozhi sat nearby, hugging her legs, her cold eyes filled with resentment.

Even her last pair of Balenciagas had been sacrificed; now those smooth, long legs reflected an alluring luster under the lights.

"Chen Du... have you seen enough?" Li Yaozhi chided.

"Cough, I'm looking to discover valuable things; it's a work requirement." Chen Du took a sip of water with a straight face, though his eyes honestly lingered on a certain spot for two extra seconds. "We gained a lot this time; it's enough to last two days."

"If we don't find clothes tomorrow, we'll Sacrifice you!" Xia Lai shouted fiercely from under the table.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there will be clothes, and there will be bread."

Chen Du sat back in the swivel chair, the familiar sense of control returning.

Although the room was full of pale thighs, it didn't shake his authority as captain in the slightest—

Of course, it was inevitable for his gaze to wander occasionally.

Chen Du lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. "Study Committee Member, it's time for your skill. Check and see if we're close to finding land."

Li Yaozhi bit her lip.

She pulled a crystal necklace from her collar, her expression becoming solemn and grave.

"Stars hidden, mists thick... Great Goddess of Fate, please guide the lost lambs..."

As she murmured, the previously still crystal pendant suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Then, it rotated clockwise!

Faster and faster!

Seeing this, a flush rose to Li Yaozhi's pretty face, and her beautiful eyes shone brightly: "Clockwise! The answer is yes!"

"Chen Du! You were right! There's land ahead! We can reach it by dawn!"

As soon as she said this, the previously lifeless cabin instantly erupted.

"Really? Are we going to be saved?"

"Great! I want to take a bath; I want to eat a hot meal!"

"Wuwuwu... finally, we don't have to feed the sharks..."

The goddesses, who had been immersed in shame just moments ago, were now hugging each other and crying.

An Nuonuo even jumped up in excitement, her impressive chest bouncing up and down.

"Captain! Can we go home?"

"I don't know about going home, but at least there's hope." Chen Du smiled faintly.
