5: Chapter 5 Dual Cultivation?

[Obtained: Wood x200, Gold Coins x100.]

Looking at the 245 units of Wood and 311 gold coins in his backpack, Chen Fan's lips curled upward.

"Tell me if you're short on any resources."

Samo smiled, her mind constantly calculating.

Having guessed that Brother Huaxia's Talent was Duplication, she was in no hurry to demand trade goods.

Although she didn't know the limitations of Duplication, the extent to which the same resource could be copied was likely limited.

Otherwise, Brother Huaxia wouldn't be so eager to trade for resources everywhere.

So right now, what Brother Huaxia needed most was a constant stream of different types of new resources for him to copy!

Thinking of this, Samo spoke up:

"No rush. Any resources I collect, I'll give to you first. When you have resources you can't use, you can give them to me then."

She placed special emphasis on the words "can't use."

After saying that, she applied for a trade again, handing over all the resources in her hands to Chen Fan.

[Obtained: Compressed Biscuits x100, Mineral Water x100, Nails x100, Grouper x100.]

Looking at the chat message, Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He pondered for a moment before shaking his head with a light laugh.

"Smart!"

He opened Samo's trade window and directly placed 100 pieces of bamboo and 10 ropes on it.

"Take these to upgrade your bamboo raft and collect more resources."

"Mm-hmm, I'll go all out on collecting. You just keep doing your thing."

Samo pumped her fist, starting to upgrade her bamboo raft with an excited face.

Even though Chen Fan didn't say much, she knew her guess was correct.

Since that was the case!

Samo looked at her bamboo raft, which had expanded by several sizes, full of motivation.

As the first person to know Brother Huaxia's Talent, her development would surely far surpass others.

After all, that was a Duplication Talent!

Samo clicked her tongue.

Regrettably, she didn't know what level the Talent was or how many copies could be made at once.

On the other side.

Having no time to guess other people's thoughts, Chen Fan directly spent 200 Wood and 20 ropes to upgrade.

[Upgrade Successful.]

[china.]

[Current Level: Wood Raft Lv1.]

[Resources Required for Upgrade: Wood x400, rope x40.]

[Recruitable Crew Members: Unlimited.]

[Recruited Crew Members: 100.]

[Stamina: 80/100]

Once the upgrade was complete, the bamboo raft was enveloped in a halo of light.

Immediately, the slender bamboo turned into thick Wood.

The only drawback was that the size was only 10x10.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan put the Sea Bass and Grouper into the sea, giving them orders to hunt fish and collect resources.

Although the bulk of his resources currently came from the cashback, even small bits are still meat.

Leaving these Sea Bass idle was a waste; it was better to let them go out and search.

What if they found something good?

He opened the speechless ship's chat window again and found many unread messages.

speechless ship: "Thank you, Big Boss Huaxia. I'm out of danger now."

"Whatever resources you need, Big Boss, just say the word. If I have it, I'll definitely give it to you."

"Are you busy, Big Boss? I just collected a piece of Wood. Do you need it?"

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he replied immediately.

"Give me your gold coins and Wood. I'll give you bamboo to upgrade your bamboo raft."

As soon as the message was sent, speechless ship replied instantly.

"No need, Big Boss. Keep your resources to ensure your own development. You just lost so many fish saving me; I'd feel too bad."

[Obtained: Wood x100, Gold Coins x100.]

Trade successful.

Chen Fan looked at the 411 gold coins in his backpack, feeling great.

He directly stuffed 100 pieces of bamboo and 10 ropes to her.

"I've already upgraded to a Wood raft; the bamboo is useless to me."

"If you really want to thank me, then collect more resources for me."

speechless ship cried out in surprise:

"Wow, so much!!! Thank you, Big Boss! I will definitely work hard to collect resources!"

Closing the chat window, Chen Fan thought for a moment and then traded 50 pieces of bamboo and 5 ropes to Vase as well.

After all, he couldn't play favorites.

Vase was moved to tears and sent over a photo of herself prostrating in thanks.

"Thank you, Brother Huaxia. I have another bottle of fresh water here. You should drink it first."

[Obtained: Mineral Water x100.]

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

If he remembered correctly, this girl had just given him a bottle of water.

How did she have more?

"You silly girl, where did you get so much water?"

Vase: "I'm not silly, hmph!"

"My Talent is B-rank Refining. I can extract fresh water from seawater."

"It's just that the speed is a bit slow."

"And I only have one empty bottle left. The one I just finished drinking..."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up; he had really picked up a treasure here.

From when Vase gave him the Mineral Water until now, it had only been less than thirty minutes, right?

One bottle was about 500ml.

Slow?

That was relative to others.

For him, that was a hundred bottles in thirty minutes!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan revealed a wicked smile and quickly typed:

"I hereby requisition this ability of yours. From now on, any fresh water you refine must be traded to me immediately. You aren't allowed to drink it, you hear me?"

Vase: "Wuwuwu, is this a compliance test?"

A set of black lines appeared on Chen Fan's forehead.

However, he didn't say much and traded over three bottles of water.

"These three bottles are your rations. Give me any new water you get."

Vase: "Okay, -_-!"

Looking at her silly reply, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile.

If it were someone smarter, like Samo.

A little thought would have allowed them to guess Chen Fan's ability.

But unfortunately, the one on the other side was Vase!

He casually clicked on the prostration photo she sent.

After admiring it for a moment, Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction.

She truly had a face that looked bubble-brained.

About 163cm tall, with straight bangs and a round face.

Her 'Great Emperor's potential' looked genuine and ready to burst forth!

Pity that on this vast ocean, there was no chance to personally verify its authenticity in the short term.

Wait! There was a chance!

He could use true body support!

Chen Fan's mouth split into a grin.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Vase suddenly felt a chill down her back and shivered.

"It's the middle of summer; where's this cold wind coming from? It's actually quite refreshing."

Vase muttered a few words and looked back down at the Mineral Water bottle standing on the bamboo raft while half-squatting.

After fantasizing for a long time, Chen Fan suddenly snapped back to his senses, feeling like he had forgotten something.

He pondered for a long while until the sound of a private message woke him up.

As soon as he saw Jiu Jiu's avatar, he realized what it was and quickly clicked it.

long time ship: "Is... is it like this?"

"Image.jpg"

"Image.jpg"

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he clicked the image, zooming in with two fingers.

A 170cm tall mature beauty with deep blue ear-length short hair was looking at the camera somewhat awkwardly, wearing a jk uniform.

Her hands were clutching her over-the-knee White Stockings, her eyes darting away.

The red, blue, and black patterned pleated skirt, paired with her capable short hair, was full of contrast.

To the side of the bamboo raft, a set of professional attire and black red-bottomed high heels were neatly folded.

The meticulous appearance made Chen Fan nod in approval.

She was a workplace mature beauty after all; this temperament was far beyond what a bubble-brained JK lolita could compare to.

"Not bad, looks very good. You don't wear stockings with your professional outfit?"

"I wear... Black Stockings."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he replied immediately: "Put them on."

long time ship was silent for another long time, so long that Chen Fan thought she had refused.

Then.

long time ship: "Image.jpg"

Chen Fan's breath hitched.

A white shirt plus a JK pleated skirt, paired with black pantyhose.

Although the 'absolute territory' was covered up,

the contrast between the mature woman and the youthful aura still made Chen Fan's blood boil.

"Tsk tsk tsk, simply a temptress."

After giving a high evaluation, Chen Fan traded over the promised 100 bamboo and 10 ropes.

long time ship: "Thank you, thank you so much. I really don't know what to say. If you have any requests in the future, just ask. As long as I have it, I'll definitely give it to you!"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Any request at all?"

long time ship: "..."

Looking at long time ship's speechless expression, Chen Fan was in a great mood.

Thus far,

the four beauties who met the cashback conditions had all upgraded to Level 2 rafts. Their speed in collecting resources would surely be even better.

Just as he was about to close the chat window, Chen Fan remembered Vase's Talent.

So he casually mentioned it:

"Your Talent is B-rank, right? What is it specifically?"

After a long time, long time ship finally said hesitantly:

"It's... it's nothing special. I'm going to go upgrade now."

After saying that, she directly closed the chat window.

She quickly took off the jk uniform and changed back into her professional attire.

She knelt on the bamboo raft, her whole body drained of strength.

Her face was flushed red, and she muttered some strange words.

A moment later, her peripheral vision glanced at the system interface.

Looking at the two words "Dual Cultivation" on it, her face turned even redder.

"Bah, what kind of indecent Talent is this? Who would want it!"

On the other side.

"Is this a secret too?"

Looking at long time ship's avatar which had turned gray, Chen Fan shook his head.

Then, he looked at the new support request that popped up.
