78: Chapter 78 Fragrance in a Vase, SSS-Level Purification

"Still think it's strange?"

"Wuwuwu..."

"I'm asking you, is it strange?"

"Wuwuwu, giegie, I was wrong, it's not strange at all."

(...)

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the player for fusing a Talent.]

[New Talent: Refining (B-Class), upgraded to Purification (SSS-Class).]

[Current Talents: Infinite Carry + Exploration + Enchantment + Purification (SSS-Class).]

Having just finished dressing up Vase, Chen Fan heard the system prompt and was instantly stunned.

"No, how did it fuse again?"

"Does this count as eating too?"

The B-Class Refining was exactly Vase's Talent.

But for some reason, he hadn't absorbed any blood mist this time, yet it had actually fused successfully.

Thinking of the blood mist, Chen Fan couldn't help but glance over, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Giegie, your smile is so lecherous."

"Go away, go away, get back to your own ship."

"Wuwuwu, you scumbag, you dump me after you're done."

"..."

Chen Fan gritted his back teeth and slapped her hard.

This Vase was indeed fragrant and soft enough.

But unfortunately, she was missing a screw in her head; every time she opened her mouth, she made people angry.

Seeing Chen Fan's speechless expression, Vase chuckled.

She picked up her jk uniform from the floor, put it on, and then held onto the wall to return to the warship.

Without the chattering, Chen Fan calmed down and carefully observed his new Talent.

"It can purify anything? Let's start by trying with materials."

He took out some basic materials and activated the Purification Talent.

[Purification successful: Pure bamboo x1.]

[Purification successful: Pure Wood x1.]

"What's the use of this thing?"

Chen Fan shook his head and took out a piece of steel.

[Purification successful: Advanced steel x1.]

[Advanced steel: Higher toughness and strength, suitable for building warship outer walls.]

His eyes lit up, and he took out a pile of gunpowder again.

[Purification successful: High-purity gunpowder x1.]

[High-purity gunpowder: Causes stronger burning and explosion effects.]

"Great, that's wonderful."

Chen Fan excitedly took out special materials.

[Purification failed: Missing Purification direction.]

He tried all five, and all of them prompted that the Purification direction was missing.

Chen Fan understood that this was because the current progress hadn't been unlocked yet, not that it couldn't be purified in the future.

Thinking of this, he nodded and purified all the steel and gunpowder.

Furthermore, he purified all the materials in The Five Women's hands as well.

After doing this, the system sound rang out.

[Upgrade successful.]

[china.]

[Current level: Large patrol boat.]

[Hull 200x50 meters, 1000 tonnage, maximum speed 150 knots, can carry up to 300 Crew Members.]

[Possesses offensive weapons: Ship-mounted Gatling guns x10, Ship Ballista x20, 155mm twin-mounted naval guns x2.]

[Possesses defensive weapons: Intermediate energy shield 1000/1000.]

[Next level: destroyer.]

[Upgrade requires basic materials: Wood x300k, rope x100k, nails x30k, cloth x100k, steel x150k, gunpowder x150k, Gold Coins 300k.]

[Upgrade requires special materials: rare mineral cluster x1k, energy focusing crystal x1k, plasma energy core x500, alloy ingot x500, nano-fiber bundle x500.]

Looking at the prompt, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The special materials required for the next upgrade were not too outrageous.

As long as he could find the acquisition method for the other two types of hidden materials, he would be able to gather them soon.

"Don't think about it so much, let's store up more plasma energy core first."

Opening the group chat, Chen Fan traded some basic materials to The Five Women.

"Give me the hidden materials you picked up in the dungeon yesterday."

"Okay~"

[Obtained: alloy ingot x300, nano-fiber bundle x200.]

Chen Fan nodded slightly; it seemed that each of them could only collect one hidden material at a time.

While pondering, the time had reached 12:00 AM.

[Ding!]

[Night Instance opened, players can enter on their own.]

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Fan decided to only take Jiu Jiu inside.

Although the other four women had the capital to save their lives as long as they didn't encounter weird tentacles.

But the situation in the Night Instance was currently unclear, and if there were too many people, he wouldn't be able to take care of them.

If a few were taken offline, it could be said to be a devastating blow to Chen Fan's development.

But even if they didn't enter now, they could start preparing.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan traded 100,000 Gold Coins to each of them.

"Keep an eye on the system mall, as long as there is an S-Class Crew Member, buy it. You never know when this thing will refresh."

The Five Women responded one after another.

Currently, they each only had three S-Class Crew Members and hadn't refreshed a fourth one yet.

After reminding the others again not to enter the dungeon, Chen Fan entered together with the long time ship.

And the avatar ship was still on its way behind.

Chen Fan casually submitted the materials to upgrade the intermediate patrol boat and continued to let it catch up on progress.

The screen distorted for a moment and then gradually darkened.

The Night Instance was still much darker than the night in the Mainline World.

The moment he entered the dungeon, the familiar feeling of chest tightness struck again.

But after experiencing it many times, Chen Fan discovered that he had developed a bit of an antibody to this feeling; he only felt uncomfortable for a moment before recovering.

But on the other side, Jiu Jiu encountered big trouble.

Just after entering the dungeon, in order to take a screenshot and send it to Chen Fan early, she looked up before she had even stood steady.

The moment she stared at the sky, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she collapsed on the deck.

Chen Fan was a bit confused; several minutes had passed, and Jiu Jiu still hadn't sent a message.

"Jiu Jiu, what's wrong?"

"Did you come in?"

"..."

After another few minutes, Jiu Jiu slowly woke up.

"I'm... I'm sorry, brother. I forgot what you told me; I looked at the sky before I had recovered from entering."

"Are you okay?" Chen Fan immediately replied.

"No, I fainted for a little while, but I'm better now. I'll send you the picture."

"Hmm, then just wait for me where you are, and tell the captain to steer cautiously."

"Okay, brother~"

Hanging up the voice call, Chen Fan identified the direction and then set his course for directional Exploration.

The Night Instance was different from the Mainline World; all kinds of negative effects were amplified.

So even with an SSS-Class, he couldn't conduct all-around Exploration recklessly.

However, with positioning, it was much easier.

In less than 3 seconds, Chen Fan scanned Jiu Jiu's position.

After all, they might be the only two in the Night Instance at this time, and the player's ship was very different from a pirate ship, so it could be distinguished at a glance.

"I've found you; I'll be there in about 30 minutes."

"Also, remember, as long as you see those black mist tentacles approaching, just commit suicide directly. We have enough materials; as long as you don't go offline, it's fine."

"Mm-hmm~"

Letting out a long sigh, Chen Fan began to approach Jiu Jiu at full speed.

In order to arrive earlier, Chen Fan let off all the pirate ships he encountered along the way.

"You guys just wait; once I've cleared out Savage Island, I'll come to collect you one by one."

Chen Fan hadn't forgotten about the magic dragon crystal core.

Although he didn't know what that thing was, it was clear that the magic dragon crystal core was extremely important within the Night Instance.

Thirty minutes passed in a flash, and Chen Fan successfully met up with Jiu Jiu, then hurried towards Savage Island without stopping.

While traveling, Chen Fan observed Savage Island.

But when he swept his gaze over, he was instantly stunned.

"What... are they doing?"
