Others try to survive on an island, I try to survive on a raft?

Chapter 11 There's electricity in the water!

"Going to sea?"

Shen Ruying was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't ask any further questions. She simply nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll go and call Qiaoqiao onto the boat right now..."

As she spoke, she tried to get up, but Su Jin pressed her back down.

"No, listen to me, I can go out to sea alone this time, you guys stay here."

Shen Ruying paused for a moment, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She asked cautiously:

"Brother Su, will you come back after this voyage?"

Su Jin almost laughed out of anger; these words sounded like a curse wishing him bad luck.

But he knew that although this silly beauty was a bit silly, she was quite kind and wouldn't think that way; she was worried that he would abandon the mother and daughter.

He snorted coldly and said indifferently:

"Don't worry, I'll be back. If I wanted to abandon you, I wouldn't need to go through all that trouble. I could just play with you, take advantage of you, and then kill you both together, wouldn't that be easy?"

In fact, since the ship was his territory, he only needed a thought to kill the young woman.

Shen Ruying was completely unaware of this. In her opinion, although Su Jin's words were a bit sharp, they made a lot of sense and made her feel very at ease.

If he wanted to abandon the mother and daughter, he wouldn't need to act; he could just leave. He wouldn't be chatting with me here.

Then the young woman asked with some curiosity:

"What is Brother Su going out to sea for? Is it because there aren't enough trees to cut down on my island?"

Su Jin paused for a moment, then said:

"That's part of the reason, but more so because I'm lacking other things and need to go out to sea to find them."

He was referring to the materials for the [Guiding Star Torch], which was one of his guarantees for future survival.

To create the "Guiding Star Torch", you need a Star Coral that has grown for more than ten years. This type of coral is translucent and can transmit light very well.

In addition, a star pearl oyster is needed. This type of oyster lives alongside star coral and can often be found in coral areas.

Therefore, Su Jin's purpose in setting sail was to find the coral region and manufacture the [Guiding Star Torch] as soon as possible.

Shen Ruying nodded thoughtfully, then asked:

"Are these the materials needed for the next ship upgrade?"

Su Jin shook his head slightly and replied:

"no."

However, this reminded him that continuously upgrading the ship was also an important guarantee for survival.

His boat is currently a small fishing boat, but the next upgrade will add an extra paddle wheel pedal, turning it into a paddle wheel pedal boat, which will greatly increase the boat's speed at sea.

However, the materials required to upgrade to a Tier 3 ship have doubled, now requiring 20 units of wood.

However, compared to the materials needed for upgrading islands like Shen Ruying's, his ship requires far fewer upgrade materials.

Perhaps this is compensation for him not having an island. After all, his huge island just disappeared like that, and it's still a little heartbreaking to think about.

Speaking of which, after upgrading to Tier 2, his ship gained an extra skill slot, which he should use to embed the electric storage glands from the Lightning Eel.

He took out the energy storage gland in front of Shen Ruying.

A terrifying aura permeated the air. Even though the former overlord of the reef area was dead and only had one organ left, he could still strike fear into people's hearts.

Especially for someone like Shen Ruying who is timid, she took her daughter far away when Su Jin took this thing, who knew that Su Jin would suddenly take it out at this moment.

"babble!"

The young woman's delicate body trembled slightly as she looked at the object in Su Jin's hand with a panicked expression and said:

"Brother Su, what are you doing taking this thing out? It's dangerous; it could explode if you're not careful..."

Su Jin smiled slightly and explained:

"My ship is a little different from what you imagine; it can gain skills by embedding materials from sea monsters."

As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and the energy-storing gland in his hand disappeared. He then received a system notification.

[Successfully implanted a battery-storing gland, occupying one skill slot.]

[Acquired Skill: Static Electricity Domain]

The next second, centered on Su Jin's small fishing boat, small fish began to float to the surface of the sea, their bellies turned white.

Shen Ruying was stunned by this scene. She hadn't expected Su Jin's ship to be so special, that it could even acquire the abilities of sea beasts.

Although it was only a weakened version of the ability, it was still enough to surprise someone as naive as her.

At that moment, she realized that she seemed to have made the right bet.

Following this man was definitely the right decision, no, it was absolutely the right decision!

At the same time, she also felt a little bit of regret.

Shen Ruying felt that she hadn't been decisive enough before, always hesitant and timid. If she were bolder and let go of some of her reserve, maybe...

Well, I might be yelling nonstop right now.

Thinking of that scene, and then of Su Jin's amazing figure, a blush flashed across her cheeks, and her fingers carelessly brushed across the water's surface as she tried to catch a multi-flavored fish that had turned belly up.

But instead of catching a fish, his hand got electrocuted.

She forgot that there was electricity in the water!

Seeing the young woman holding his hand, her eyes a little red, Su Jin couldn't help but laugh.

The static electricity field has no effect on him, the lord; it only shocks others. This woman is really stupid; knowing that water is electrified, she still went and touched it.

However, this also made him realize that the power of his newly acquired Static Field skill was far less than that of the Lightning Eel.

It wouldn't even knock someone out, let alone kill them. It could even make someone pull their hand back, and the range of the shock didn't seem very large, roughly estimated to be around 3 meters.

It seems that you can shock weak marine creatures, but don't even dream about shocking sea monsters.

However, the field of electrostatics is not without its drawbacks.

Compared to the wide-area, high-power, one-time ground-washing skill of the lightning eel, his static electricity field is superior in its persistence, continuously releasing static electricity.

If you use it to catch fish, it's a pretty good skill, and it can also keep some lazy sea creatures from bothering you.

Now, he has another guarantee for survival when he goes to sea.

Now that all the preparations for setting sail are complete, it's time to go out to sea and explore.

Thinking of this, Su Jin turned to Shen Ruying and said:

"Ruying, time is tight and the task is heavy. While it's still daytime, I'll prepare to set sail now."

He then assigned the young woman a task.

"While I'm gone, you and Qiaoqiao should be careful. While ensuring your own safety, explore the outskirts of the island and collect some resources."

"For example, see if you can catch one or two wild rabbits, and collect some dry branches and wild fruits, understand?"

If he hadn't been too busy to make an axe for Shen Ruying, he would have wanted her to see if she could cut down all the trees around them.

After all, when it comes to resources, the more the better.

Shen Ruying quickly nodded in agreement; she didn't want to become a burden and be abandoned by Su Jin.

Next, Su Jin used a harpoon and his short-sleeved shirt to make a simple landing net, and scooped up the small fish floating on the surface of the sea little by little, handing them all over to Shen Ruying.

These will serve as food for the mother and daughter after he leaves, since relying on them to catch fish would only lead to their own starvation.

Around noon, Su Jin rowed his small fishing boat and left the grassland island.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be the first person to explore the endless sea.

Compared to land, the ocean is his forte!

He, Su Jin, is the man destined to become the Pirate King!
