8: Recruit Samantha, the ocean horse! A-level talented treasure hunter!

"You... who exactly are you?"

Samantha, tied to the ground, no longer had her previous arrogance in those azure blue eyes; only deep shock remained, and... fanaticism.

Having lived in the most affluent environments since childhood, she had seen countless geniuses and elites.

But never had any man been like the one before her, able to create such an incredible miracle within just two days in such a desperate situation!

Two days, a broken wooden raft turned into a small vessel!

He was mysterious, powerful, and ruthless, as if shrouded in a mysterious halo that could turn decay into magic.

Su Mo glanced at her and crouched down in front of her.

His fingers gently brushed across Samantha's face, which resembled "Reba," yet was stained with a little dust.

"From now on, I am your boss."

"And you are my newly recruited employee number two."

"Employee?"

Samantha's brain couldn't quite process it.

"Correct."

Su Mo pointed to Shen Yufu, who was also in a state of shock nearby.

"She is number one."

"Your work is very simple: listen to my commands, work, and then trade for food, water, and the right to survive."

Samantha stared blankly at Su Mo, asking the question in her heart.

"You're not going to kill me anymore?"

Su Mo's gaze moved down from her face, unscrupulously sweeping over her curves, which were accentuated even more by the ropes.

"That body of yours is much more useful for rowing and acting as a lookout than it is as a snack for sharks."

This sentence made Samantha's body instantly tense up, and a flush of humiliation uncontrollably rose to her cheeks.

She had misunderstood.

She thought Su Mo kept her because he took a fancy to her beauty and figure, wanting to treat her as a plaything to vent his desires in this desperate apocalypse.

Although humiliated, to survive, she had already prepared herself mentally.

But she didn't expect that in this man's eyes, the assets she was proud of were only fit to... be a rowing laborer?!

Her bodyguards were dead, and she couldn't survive half a day alone in this devil's sea.

Samantha glanced at the sturdy boat behind Su Mo that was capable of withstanding shark bites, then looked at Su Mo's bottomless eyes.

Relying on the strong, getting on this "Noahs Ark" that was the only one capable of resisting sharks, was the only way out!

"Fine... I agree."

[Ding! Player "Samantha" has agreed to join your team!]

[Talent "Beauty Accompaniment" triggered! Goddess-level companion detected, your total attributes increased by 100%!]

Another warm current, even more massive than before, instantly surged through Su Mo's entire body!

His strength, speed, and endurance skyrocketed once again at this moment!

Su Mo opened his panel.

[Name: Su Mo]

[Constitution: 15 (+30)]

[Spirit: 10 (+20)]

4.5 times that of an ordinary adult!

"Very good, welcome aboard."

Su Mo smiled with satisfaction and casually untied the ropes binding Samantha.

"Work hard in the future, I won't treat my own people unfairly."

Samantha rubbed her wrists, which had red marks from the ropes, moved her body a little, and asked curiously:

"Aren't you going to ask what my talent is? What if it's a Grade F trash talent? It wouldn't be of any use to you."

Su Mo became interested. "Let's hear it."

Samantha puffed out her full chest and announced: "Grade A talent, [Treasure Hunter]."

"I can vaguely sense the approximate location and rarity of all unopened resource chests and special items within a one-kilometer radius!"

Hiss—!

Su Mo gasped!

Grade A talent! Perception type!

This... isn't this fucking tailor-made navigation for my [Lord of Greed]!

One is responsible for positioning, the other for ten-fold replication!

A match made in heaven! A perfect pair!

Su Mo immediately issued the first order to Samantha.

"Start searching, report the locations of all nearby resource chests!"

"There are over 900,000 mouths at sea waiting to eat right now. Our time is precious; we must beat everyone else!"

"Yes... boss."

Samantha quickly adapted to her new identity and replied.

Su Mo turned and walked towards the Level 3 workbench, immediately putting in new materials.

[Wood - 90, Iron Block - 45, Beast Tendon - 15, can craft Fine Longbow x3]

[Craft!]

Three longbows with metallic luster and fine craftsmanship appeared in his hands.

He threw two of them to Shen Yufu and Samantha respectively.

"Take them. From now on, these are our main weapons, one for each! There are plenty of arrows!"

"Today, let's be marine scavengers! We grab every chest we see! If we meet people... those who block the way, die!"

The two women gripped the cold bow bodies.

"Boss,"

Samantha pointed in a direction, her azure blue eyes flashing with excitement,

"Over there! About 800 meters! I feel several chests! At least one is silver!"

"Let's go!"

At Su Mo's order, the composite hard sail immediately turned, and the boat cut a white wave across the sea, moving at full speed!

Soon, they passed a precarious Level 1 raft. A man on it saw their giant boat and, as if seeing a savior, waved desperately.

"Help! Big boss! Please take me with you! I can do anything!"

On the boat, the three of them acted as if they hadn't heard.

Su Mo's eyes were cold, staring straight ahead.

Shen Yufu turned her head away, unable to bear watching.

And Samantha, with the gaze of someone looking at a dead person, coldly swept over the man crying desperately behind their boat.

This is a survival game; sympathy is the most useless thing.

"There's a boat ahead!" Shen Yufu suddenly shouted vigilantly.

They saw that in the area of the target resource chests, a Level 3 raft was parked there, and five or six men on the raft were preparing to salvage the silver chest they had set their eyes on.

When they saw Su Mo's boat, which was comparable to a small plaza, they were stunned at first, then revealed greedy eyes.

"Stop!"

The bald man leading them raised his axe, pointed it at them from afar, and grinned hideously:

"You've got good luck, kid. The boat is nice, and the women are hot enough!"

"Now, leave the boat and the women, and we might consider sparing your life!"

Su Mo smiled.

What era is this? Still using such unoriginal lines.

He didn't waste words, just raised the longbow in his hand, his cold voice resonating on the deck.

"Draw bows."

Shen Yufu and Samantha understood instantly. The two of them imitated Su Mo, nocked the arrows on the strings, pulled the bows to full moon, and three iron arrows shimmering with cold light aimed simultaneously at that raft.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

The bald man cursed angrily and waved his hand: "Brothers, get them! Rob them!"

"Release!"

Just as the few of them were howling and preparing to rush over, Su Mo gently spat out one word.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three sharp sounds of breaking through the air rang out!

Three iron arrows, like three black death scythes, traced a fatal trajectory in the air!

"Pfft!"

The bald man rushing at the front instantly had a blood hole in the center of his forehead. The hideous grin on his face was still frozen as his body fell straight backward.

The other two men who had just raised their weapons: one had his throat pierced, and the other had his heart shot through!

In just an instant, more than half of the five opponents were lost!

The remaining two were scared out of their wits by this terrifying long-range strike and turned to jump into the sea to escape!

But Su Mo had already nocked a second arrow.

"Pshhh!"

The arrow accurately passed through the back of one of them!

[Congratulations! You killed player... EXP +10! Final EXP gained: 20 points!]

The last arrow was shot by Samantha first. The man who had just jumped into the sea let out a final scream, his body twitched a few times, and he was dragged into the deep sea by sharks that smelled the blood.

The entire process took no more than ten seconds.

The battle ended.

Shen Yufu and Samantha looked at Su Mo's calm profile, and a thought surged in their hearts simultaneously.

This man is a devil, and also... a god.

Su Mo put away his longbow, looked at the floating resource chests in the distance, and calmly commanded:

"Clean up the battlefield, collect the loot."

"Then, we continue."

Su Mo had almost adapted to the new era without any morality or law and was gradually intoxicated by the pleasure of looting through "killing to level up"!

If you don't fight for resources, if you don't kill others! The next one to die will be you!

In this deadly game, what he wants to do is become the predator at the very top of the food chain.
