14: Chapter 14 Small Sailboat, Beginner Period Ends

Waaah, you're bullying me!

Not going to hand it over, huh? Then I'll just let you fend for yourself.

Waaah, no! I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over.

Vase wailed for a few moments, but in the end, she obediently handed over the supplies.

The other four women couldn't help but smile at the sight.

[Obtained: Gold coins + 3000. Mineral Water + 3000. Compressed biscuits + 3000. bamboo + 1000. Wood + 1000. Cloth + 1000. Steel + 1000.]

Good grief, Hundredfold Cash Back really is the way to go.

He had worked hard to claim 50% of the rewards, yet it only just matched half of the cash back.

Chen Fan shook his head, a sense of absurdity surfacing in his heart.

Even if they only received 1% of the rewards from each support.

With Hundredfold Cash Back, he could get 500% from each support!

As long as he ensured his own development, he could give them the surplus supplies to upgrade, allowing him to cheat infinitely!

With this, why bother struggling? Wouldn't it be better to just let them help him gather supplies?

Chen Fan watched the supplies traded by the remaining four women, his eyes gradually brightening.

At this moment, his status bar read:

[china.]

[Current Level: Raft Lv3.]

[Resources needed for upgrade: Wood x1000. rope x100. Nails x100. Cloth x10. Steel x20. Gold coins x100.]

[Recruitable Crew Members: Infinite.]

[Recruited Crew Members: 301.]

[Stamina: 100 / 100]

[Talent: Infinite Carry.]

Supplies:

[Gold coins: 21.5K]

[long saber: 65]

[bamboo: 9.5K]

[rope: 3.4K]

[Wood: 6.3K]

[Nails: 100]

[Cloth: 5.5K]

[Steel: 5.5K]

[...]

Fortunately, the cash back space was infinitely large; otherwise, with so many supplies, his survival package wouldn't be able to hold them all.

He shook his head speechlessly.

Upgrading to a Level 3 Raft required 800 Wood and 80 rope.

Chen Fan organized five sets, added 100 gold coins, and some consumables to give to them.

He only had 2345 units of Wood left.

Take these to upgrade. Your task is to constantly grind support and collect new supplies for me.

After thinking about it, Chen Fan decided to reveal a little about his Talent.

Otherwise, if they obtained precious supplies and were reluctant to hand them over, he would lose out big time.

So, he continued:

You might have already guessed it, but my Talent is Replication; I can replicate any supplies. So don't worry that I'll take the supplies and not give anything back to you.

Upon hearing this, the other four women secretly thought, "As expected."

They didn't say much, only guaranteeing in the group chat that they would give any new supplies they obtained to Chen Fan.

Only Vase exclaimed out loud:

Wow, Brother Huaxia is so amazing? Such a strong Talent, it must be S-rank, right?!!

Chen Fan was very satisfied with the reaction of the other four women; this proved that they had already guessed it to some extent.

But Vase's exclamation still made black lines appear on his forehead.

You Vase, can't you learn from your four sisters? They all guessed it, only you are so jumpy.

Vase: "Waaah, you're all bad people, hmph!"

The other four women couldn't help but smile.

After teasing for a moment, Samo asked the core question:

Then what supplies should we trade? How should the exchange ratio be set?

As soon as these words were spoken, the women fell silent.

Samo seemed to be asking about the trade, but she was actually probing the limits of the replication ability.

Chen Fan shook his head with a laugh, "I don't need bamboo, and food and fresh water are sufficient. Mainly trade for gold coins, Wood, nails, cloth, steel, or even higher-level supplies."

As for the ratio, 20 to 1 is acceptable.

After he finished speaking, The Five Women's eyes widened.

20 to 1?

That means, for the same supply, china could replicate 20 copies?

No, that's not right!

Not just 20 copies!

To trade, there must be a profit. That means he could replicate at least 30 copies!

Thinking of this, The Five Women's eyes immediately lit up.

Looking at the silent group chat, Chen Fan chuckled and turned his head to look at the regional chat window.

At this moment, Players had not yet recovered from their excitement.

They were constantly flooding the screen with thanks to china.

After all, if it weren't for Chen Fan, they most likely wouldn't have received these rewards, and they would have even had to pay out one gold coin.

Of course, there were also many people constantly cursing at Emperor.

Perhaps knowing he was in the wrong, Emperor did not respond.

You reap what you sow.

With a light snort, Chen Fan stopped paying attention and turned his gaze to the upgrade interface in front of him.

Upgrade!

[Ding!]

[Upgrading: Small sailing ship.]

[Consumed resources: Wood x1000, nails x100, cloth x10, steel x20, gold coins x100.]

[Time required: 30 minutes.]

It actually takes half an hour! And, I'm out of nails.

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

The previous mission rewards didn't include nails.

These 100 were the ones that Samo had fished up earlier.

He sent a message in the group chat to trade for more nails, and Chen Fan scanned the chat messages out of boredom.

200 fish and 100 Sailors had already been sent out by him to search for supplies.

Must say, the system settings were quite humane.

Almost all supplies could be obtained through means like fishing.

It's just that Chen Fan's method was simpler and more brutal.

The fish schools would first locate the spawned supplies, and then the Sailors would risk their lives to retrieve them.

Anyway, they could be infinitely resurrected, and their corpses could also serve as nutrients for the sea.

In his leisure time, Chen Fan even had time to watch the support videos.

As The Five Women continuously traded over supplies, Chen Fan's supply repository gradually became full.

[Ding!]

[Upgrade successful!]

[china.]

[Current Level: Small sailing ship.]

[Sailing speed: 30 knots.]

[Can carry Crew Members: 10.]

[Resources needed for upgrade: Wood x5000. rope x500. Nails x500. Cloth x500. Steel x1000. Gold coins x1000.]

As soon as the voice finished, the space around the raft began to distort.

An air wall rose out of thin air, isolating the water flow, and was immediately covered by Wood.

The keel and sails appeared one after another, constructing a sailing ship of about one hundred square meters.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up as he inspected his new ship back and forth.

Inside the sailing ship, everything was available, including the captain's cabin, bedroom, kitchen, and shower room.

To his surprise, inside the small sailing ship, there was a ship crossbow that was five meters long and three meters wide!

The metallic crossbow body emitted a cold light, and a four-meter-long crossbow bolt was firmly fixed in place.

Chen Fan gasped.

Tsk tsk tsk...

With such a large crossbow bolt, even if he encountered a ten-meter-long shark, it would probably be pierced through by a single shot!

However, even after upgrading to a sailing ship, it could only carry 10 Crew Members!

SSS-rank Talent is truly terrifying.

Just as he was fantasizing, the system's mechanical voice sounded again.

[Player: china, successfully upgraded to a ship, beginner protection period ended.]

[Game difficulty increased, probability of obtaining resources increased.]

[Game dungeon activated. Night Instance will open at game time: 0:00. Daytime Instance will open at 12:00.]

[Night Instance: Danger and opportunity coexist.]

[Daytime Instance: Exploration and harvest coexist.]

[Each dungeon can be entered once per day.]

[There are rich rewards inside the dungeon, which can be brought into the Mainline World.]

[Dying inside the dungeon will clear all items, starting from zero.]

[Do you want treasure? Then go and explore the sea!]

As soon as the voice finished, the regional chat exploded.

Holy crap! Huaxia Big Shot actually upgraded the ship?

Damn it, I just upgraded to a Level 1 Raft, and even Level 2 is nowhere in sight.

Beginner protection period ended? Doesn't that mean it's even more dangerous?

What is a dungeon? What is it used for? Can you eat it?

Didn't the person above read the introduction at the start? It was said from the very beginning.

long time ship: "Looking at the prompt just now, the Daytime Instance shouldn't have any danger; it's purely for Exploration and accumulating supplies. The Night Instance should be very dangerous."

Vase: "Waaah, so dangerous, can I not enter the dungeon?"

Samo: "It should be fine, after all, it didn't say it's mandatory to enter."

What are you afraid of? Anyway, we have Huaxia Big Shot.

If there's danger, just ask Big Shot for support. Let's do it!

Yeah! Let's do it!
