24: Chapter 24 Daytime Dungeon: Now Open!

"Huaxia Big Shot actually survived?"

"Holy crap, not only did he survive, but he also completed the progress!!!"

"As expected, one must upgrade to a ship to tackle the dungeon."

"That must be it. Didn't you hear what the system said earlier? The dungeon only opened after the novice protection period ended. Based on the progress of ordinary Players, it probably won't open for several more days."

"Does that mean the Big Shot helped us update the version early?"

"Holy crap!!! No wonder!!!"

"Big Shot, you've doomed us! How are we, with our rafts and bamboo rafts, supposed to enter the dungeon!!!"

"It's over. This time we didn't get any benefits, and everything was reset to zero."

"Stop talking nonsense. Is it safe on your side? Why are so many schools of fish attacking me?"

"Damn! I didn't even notice until you said something. Why is my raft falling apart?! Help!!"

In a corner of the ocean, a Level 3 raft suddenly appeared.

Emperor looked deathly pale, his chest heaving rapidly.

Just moments ago, he had encountered an unknown ship.

The opponent nearly capsized him with a single arrow, but fortunately, he dodged it agilely.

The moment the one-hour mark was reached, he left the dungeon right on time.

What made his scalp tingle was the earth-shattering boom that came from the darkness just before he left the dungeon.

Based on his years of gaming experience, he determined it instantly.

That was actually a cannon!

The monsters in the dungeon actually had cannons!

He took a few deep breaths of oxygen to steady his heart rate.

Emperor thought to himself that it had to be This Great Master who could escape danger even when encountering such a terrifying existence.

After indulging in some self-admiration, he heard a system notification.

He frowned:

"Pah, just killed some weird fish and barely completed 1% of the mission, and there's a system notification? Does this trash deserve it?"

"Why didn't you encounter a ship with cannons? All the bad luck happens to This Great Master."

Emperor ranted hysterically for a while, venting the anger and fear in his chest.

Afterward, his eyes rolled, and he sneered:

"Let you be smug for a day. Tomorrow night, you'll definitely overestimate yourself and enter the dungeon. By then, you won't be so lucky."

"If you encounter those ships, one shot will blow you to pieces!"

After grinning evilly for a moment, Emperor saw a distress message in his private messages from Fangs Vessel.

"This little brat, he's probably dying in the dungeon and came to This Great Master for help."

"Fine, I'll give you some resources first. Such an obedient dog will be useful later."

So, he traded 100 bamboo and 10 rope over to him.

On the other side.

Fangs Vessel gratefully accepted the supplies, transforming back into a sycophant.

"Thank you, Boss Emperor. From now on, my life is yours. Whenever you need anything, just say the word."

After sending the message, the fawning look on Fangs' face changed instantly.

He sneered and turned to look at his own raft.

Strangely, when he entered the dungeon, he only had a Level 1 raft.

In just one hour of dungeon time, it had actually upgraded to a Level 3 raft.

"You bastard, do you still think I'm that Fangs you can manipulate at will?"

"However, should I tell china about this secret?"

After thinking for a moment, Fangs shook his head slightly.

"Forget it, let's wait and see after the Daytime Instance ends."

While all parties were harboring their own ulterior motives, Chen Fan had already left the dungeon and resolved the crisis for The Five Women.

Vase: "Brother Huaxia, we've all been reset to zero, and everything has to start over, boo hoo."

Samo: "My Level 3 raft!"

long time ship: "I never want to enter the Night Instance again. The feeling of being eaten by schools of fish was too terrible..."

Demon: "Exactly, I'll probably have nightmares for three days before I can recover."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head:

"It wasn't something you could enter right now anyway. Wait until you have ships before talking about it."

So, he stopped wasting words and traded 300 bamboo and 30 rope to each of them.

After thinking about it, he also gave them some food and drink.

After all, physical exertion at night far exceeds that of the day.

It wouldn't be fun if they starved and got thin.

There wasn't enough Wood, so they could only temporarily upgrade to Level 3 bamboo rafts.

However, if it weren't for a cheater like him, the vast majority of Players would only be able to upgrade to a Level 3 or even just a Level 2 bamboo raft on the first day.

Presumably, a Level 3 bamboo raft can withstand the first night.

And since most Players have been reset to zero.

Then bamboo has once again become a hard currency.

Chen Fan's lips curled up, and he traded another 200 bamboo and 20 rope to each of them.

"Take these to exchange for supplies. Except for bamboo, food, and fresh water, I want everything else!"

The eyes of The Five Women lit up, and they started trading enthusiastically.

Having done this, Chen Fan turned his attention to the bottle in his space.

Inside the bottle, the jet-black ghost ship floated quietly on the water.

"Summon: Ghost Ship!"

Chen Fan shouted in a low voice, and the sea surface in front of him distorted.

A few seconds later, the ghost ship appeared before his eyes.

Obviously, compared to the sailboat, the larger ghost ship is safer.

He took Kuka and 50 Sailors onto the ghost ship.

Drake and the remaining Sailors stayed on the sailboat.

"Since the ghost ship can be stored inside, what about the main sailboat?"

Thinking of this, Chen Fan muttered a few times.

However, the sailboat remained motionless.

Chen Fan curled his lips helplessly.

It seems that only recruited units can be stored.

...

Without a word all night, Chen Fan slept comfortably inside the ghost ship.

When he opened his eyes, it was already 11 AM.

The regional chat was much quieter.

It was unclear if they were asleep or hadn't survived the night.

Casually opening the trading channel, Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

He didn't expect that the efforts of The Five Women overnight had earned him 80 Wood, 10 nails, and 20 gold coins.

Chen Fan clicked to collect.

[Obtained: Wood + 8000. Nails + 1000. Gold Coins + 2000.]

Looking at the Wood resources that were once again plentiful, Chen Fan nodded slightly.

Over eight thousand Wood was still not enough for his own upgrade, so he could only help them first.

"Wake up, time to upgrade the bamboo rafts."

He sent a message in the group, and instantly, all of The Five Women replied.

"Brother Huaxia, are you awake?"

"Look at the resources we exchanged, aren't they impressive?"

"Last night, schools of fish kept biting the bamboo raft, and I was so scared I didn't sleep all night."

"Who wasn't? I didn't doze off until after six when the sun came out, and I'm still so sleepy now."

Watching The Five Women complain, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile.

"Once you upgrade your ships, it will be better."

After saying that, he traded 1000 Wood and 100 rope to each of them.

These were enough for them to upgrade to a Level 2 bamboo raft.

And looking at the scorching sun in the sky, his lips curled up.

"On such a hot day, no one can refuse an ice-cold beer, right?"

With a chuckle, Chen Fan traded out another batch of beer and roasted meat, continuing to corner the few remaining resources of the Players.

Immediately, there was a wail in the regional chat.

"Holy crap, Big Shot, do you have to be so cruel?"

"Boo hoo, we're already miserable, and you're still using beer to seduce us."

"I, Wang, even if I starve or die of thirst today, or jump off the bamboo raft, I will never trade for a single drop of your beer... *hic*, so delicious."

Watching everyone spamming the screen, Emperor finally couldn't hold back and traded some supplies to Fangs Vessel.

"You go help me trade for some beer and barbecue, don't say it's what I want."

Fangs Vessel snorted and laughed upon seeing this.

But outwardly, he still pretended to be respectful.

"Understood! Boss Emperor."

...

Just as Chen Fan was cornering the Players' resources round after round.

The time reached 12 PM noon.

[Ding!]

[Current time: 12 PM.]

[Daytime Instance opening, all Players, forced entry.]

[The Daytime Instance is temporarily without danger; Players can collect resources with peace of mind.]
