Chapter 38 p1
◎ How shameless ◎
【Choose to fuse with Contamination Crystals…】
【Choose to fuse with other crystal stones…】
【Choose to use Purification Crystals as a substitute…】
After choosing to upgrade, a few lines of reminders automatically popped up. Yu Chi chose “Yes” for all of them. She had previously learned from Li Feng and Zuo He that everyone’s upgraded small boat was different and would change according to the materials on the boat and the direction of evolution.
This might be the place she would live for the rest of her life, so she naturally had to throw everything she had in a good direction.
When Yu Chi had obtained various crystal stones on Cold Moon Island, she had been thinking that the crystal stones for upgrading the small boat didn’t seem to need that many. She wondered if she could fuse these crystal stones in as well… She hadn’t expected it to come true now.
Crystal stones were generally used for weapons and equipment, but she didn’t plan to forge her own equipment at the moment. It was better to use them for upgrading the small boat first.
The familiar white light appeared again. Yu Chi swallowed and rubbed her hands nervously.
She had invested a lot of things this time. She didn’t know what changes would happen—
A dozen seconds later, the white light disappeared. Yu Chi stood on the deck of the small boat and looked around, feeling that this boat was a little unfamiliar.
The change was too great!
The original small boat, at a glance, was known to be made of wood. Although it had a protective shield, it looked very fragile, like the kind of material that could be broken by a single whip of her tail.
But now, those brown wooden planks had lost their original color, replaced by a crystal-clear, delicate azure blue. Under the sunlight, the entire boat even looked translucent.
Yu Chi was overjoyed. This was probably the benefit of investing a lot of crystal stones, directly changing the material of the entire boat.
She tentatively jumped on the boat a couple of times. It was very stable. Good.
It felt very sturdy. Even without a protective shield, it should be very difficult for contaminated creatures to cause serious damage to this boat.
Yu Chi also roughly calculated the area. After her small boat was upgraded last time, it was only 75 square meters. After fusing with the ninth-ranked player’s boat on Cold Moon Island, it became 100 square meters, but the added 25 square meters were distributed in various areas of the boat, so the change was not obvious.
And now her small boat had directly become 200 square meters!
It was 25 meters long, 8 meters wide, and even its height had increased from 1.5 to 3 meters.
Yu Chi suppressed her excitement and slowly walked through the entire boat, starting from the deck.
The deck had now expanded to 40 square meters and was divided into four different areas. For example, the place where she often fished was the fishing area. There was also a drying area, a viewing area, and a planting area on the deck, each ten square meters.
Yu Chi was most satisfied with this planting area. Although she already had the [Two-Sided Mirror] space, it was her trump card after all and could not be easily shown to others.
Now with a planting area, some things were much easier to explain. The size was not important. What was important was that it was on the boat.
The deck was neatly planned. For Yu Chi, who had a bit of OCD, it was very comfortable to look at. It was just a little stuffy. She wrapped her sunscreen clothing tightly.
The cockpit had also expanded to 10 square meters. There were now 3 systems inside: an autopilot system, a radar system, and a weather forecast system.
Although it could also travel automatically before, it couldn’t set a destination. Now with the autopilot system, she could directly set the destination to the next island she wanted to go to, which was very convenient.
The radar system could detect distant contaminants or other players in advance. Of course, since the players were still in an isolated state, it could only be used to detect contaminants.
The last one was the weather forecast system. Yu Chi opened it and took a look. It showed [Extreme Heat]. The forecast for the next few days was also [Extreme Heat], without showing the specific temperature.
Next was the rest cabin, which was her living room. The area had expanded to 40 square meters. The original single bed had also become a double bed. There was also a small desk, chairs, and so on, but they were all of relatively common materials.
Yu Chi planned to go to the player trade section to look for more comfortable quilts and furniture. Of course, the ones provided by the system were not bad, but they always had a cold and stiff feeling, not cozy enough.
She could also buy a small sofa to sit and rest on. Yu Chi thought of herself sitting on the sofa in the future, leisurely eating fruit or scrolling through the channel and forum, and felt extremely happy!
The kitchen and dining room had also expanded a lot, both becoming 10 square meters.
Yu Chi walked around inside, and her mood instantly became cheerful.
The original kitchen was too small, so it was not convenient for her to add a lot of furniture, which had made her quite depressed for a while.
Now, refrigerators, ovens, air fryers, and the like could all be prepared. Although she might not be able to use them, she had to have them!
The bathroom had also expanded to 10 square meters. The bathing space was finally not so tight, and a small washing machine could be added.
In fact, these things had been sold in the player trade section before, but the price of daily life items was more expensive than small weapons. Of course, it was not a problem for Yu Chi.
In the past, she had thought the boat was too small and was too lazy to bother with it. And she only had a few clothes, so she simply treated washing clothes as a boring pastime, so she had never bought one.
Get them all, get them all!
Yu Chi clenched her fists, already impatient to decorate her small boat.
The storage room had expanded to 40 square meters, and there was also a 10-square-meter cold storage inside. The types of items that could be placed had increased. She planned to put Li Feng’s meat here first and talk about it when the other party asked for it—she could sneak a bite from time to time, hee hee.
Next to the storage room was also a small pet cage, about 10 square meters, where some small pets could be raised. Yu Chi planned to put a few pheasants in it.
The feeding was relatively automated, but it needed to be fed some food, which the little flower fairy could be responsible for.
Besides the above, two new functions had been added.
One was a watchtower, located at the stern, five meters above the deck.
It could be used to observe the surroundings. There was a telescope on it, but Yu Chi went up to try it and felt that this telescope couldn’t see far enough. She could get a better one from the system mall.
The other was a laboratory, also 10 square meters. It was a bit of an exaggeration to call it a laboratory, but there was a large furnace inside, which seemed to be used for making potions?
Yu Chi walked around and felt that it was more like an alchemy furnace in a cultivation novel. She planned to try it tonight. She didn’t know what she could make!
After looking at the entire small boat, Yu Chi wished she could shout with excitement. She carefully checked the small boat’s interface.

Upgrade Requirements: Iron Ore x500, Stone x1000, Rope x100, Vermilion Bird Wood x300, Special Crystal Stone x100, Purification Crystals x10 million…】
It should be because she had used a large amount of Cold Moon Island’s crystal stones that a cold resistance was added. The upgrade materials also rarely had a requirement for Purification Crystals.
However, Yu Chi knew very well that the materials for upgrading the small boat were just basic materials. The more materials collected, the better the small boat would be upgraded. Boats of the same level had great differences in both area and function.
After looking at the small boat, Yu Chi began to shop in the player trade section, buying all the furniture she had thought of before, and then carefully arranging them. She also chose a bed curtain that could be automatically retracted and had a strong light-blocking effect. The overall cabin became much cozier.
After doing this series of things, it was noon again.
Yu Chi looked at the gradually improving kitchenware and decided to make herself a good meal.
She was a little tired of eating roasted meat every day.
The chickens she had caught from Cold Moon Island had already laid eggs, but the eggs were a little big, about the size of a palm. She cut the spicy fruit she had gotten in the morning and made a spicy fruit scrambled egg with meat.
She also stir-fried some shredded potatoes as a vegetable dish.
The two dishes looked relatively simple, but after so long, she was very satisfied to finally have a normal meal.
She had cooked two grains of rice in total, then cut the rice into pieces and put a bowl of it in a bowl.
To be honest, eating like this was a little different from usual. The rice in her mouth was square, which felt a little strange.
But after chewing a couple of times, Yu Chi was quickly conquered by the taste.
No big deal, as long as it’s delicious.
Yu Chi’s appetite was getting bigger and bigger. She ate all two dishes and one bowl of rice, but her stomach still didn’t feel full.
So she took some grapes from her space and a watermelon as a dessert.
After eating, Yu Chi was fully armed and sat in the fishing area.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the temperature that she had gradually gotten used to seemed to have risen again in these two days.
Yu Chi opened the chat channel and found that everyone was discussing the same thing.
【Is it an illusion? Why does it feel like resource chests are getting harder and harder to get?】
【Me too. I thought I was just unlucky.】
【Oh my god, no way. The contaminated creatures are also getting harder and harder to kill.】
The difficulty of the natural disaster had been upgraded, and the players were once again in a panic.
Yu Chi scrolled for a while and then opened the player forum.
She found that other players had also landed on islands in these two days.
The other party had gone to an island called [Honeydew Island]. Just like the island’s name, this island was full of all kinds of honeydew melons.
There were also some low-level demonic beasts. The player named [I Still Want to Live] excitedly talked about his experiences on the forum and said that he had brought back nearly two hundred honeydew melons and would not lack fruit for a long time.
Someone below asked him how he had gotten to the island.
Yu Chi saw him reply that it was all thanks to the boat’s automatic navigation. He himself was completely in a daze.
There were also many other people who asked him all kinds of questions. This player was also a warm-hearted person and basically answered every single one.
Only then did many people know that besides contaminated creatures, there were actually uncontaminated creatures in this world. For a time, there were all kinds of discussions again.
Besides this player, another player also came out and said that he had gone to an island. Yu Chi’s originally casual gaze instantly became serious when she saw this post.
【What to do if I’m captured by the native inhabitants on the island?!】
Topic: So scary!!! Can anyone come and save me? I’m willing to give all my property as a reward!
1L: Can the OP be more specific? No one will believe you if you just say that.
2L: A teleportation item is so precious… the OP isn’t trying to lure players to his boat to kill them, is he?
3L: Even if it’s true, it’s very risky. The OP hasn’t described anything. How do we know the strength of the native inhabitants’ weapons?
…
This post became popular and floated on the homepage. Yu Chi scrolled down for a long time before she saw the OP’s reply.
89L: Someone save me! Save me! Please, anyone is fine, please save me… I can’t take it anymore! Please…
The OP’s mental state didn’t seem very good. Yu Chi saw a few of the OP’s messages in the following floors. They were either asking for help or cursing wildly, without any useful information at all.
This post was from yesterday. When Yu Chi scrolled to the end of the post, she found that the OP had come out again, and his emotions seemed to have stabilized a lot.
He said that the native inhabitants who had captured him were not humans, but a group of short, strange-looking, human-like little people.
Their personalities were a bit brutal and very xenophobic, so they did not accept other creatures coming in. But if you explained it clearly, you would not be harmed.
These dwarves could forge countless powerful weapons. Rare-grade weapons were not uncommon here. There were also a large number of Legendary grade weapons, and even Mythical grade weapons!
It was also the first time Yu Chi had heard of the Mythical grade. She had thought that Legendary was the top.
There were also many players asking questions later, but the other party did not reply at all.
Yu Chi finished scrolling through the entire post, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
She was indeed curious about this island that could forge weapons, but this player had been in a state of mental frenzy and extreme fear before, and then suddenly became calm, saying that these dwarves would not harm people.
The difference between the before and after was too great. A normal person would become vigilant.
There were also many players on the forum who had realized this and raised their doubts in the thread, but they were all shot down by other players.
【Scaring yourself is the scariest thing. It’s normal to be mentally deranged when you see other species for the first time.】
【That’s right. I’m more interested in how to get to this dwarf island. It’s a pity I can’t buy a teleportation item.】
