[Novice protection period: 3 minutes]
Chen Feng stayed up the whole night.
There were only 3 minutes left on the novice protection period, and the novice fishing rod would disappear. Chen Feng had been fishing like crazy for the past three days, and now, he felt disgusted just looking at the fishing rod.
He opened and counted the items in the warehouse.
Chen Feng’s 30-item-slots were filled to the brim even after throwing away a lot of the trash that he had caught previously.
[Wood *359]
[Plant fiber *181]
[Stone *86]
[Iron *57]
[Lighter *3]
[Container *32]
[Fishing net *1]
[Master Kang Lao Tan pickled cabbage beef noodles (cup) *2]
[Sausage 200G]
[Aquatic seafood (fish, shellfish, plants take up a lot of slots) 15000G]
[Knife]
[Knife]
[Solar stun baton]
[Tomato seeds]
[Wooden treasure chest *6]
[Seawater separator * 1]
[Coarse salt 68G]
[Distilled freshwater 4L]
“I should open the wooden treasure chest too. This kind of normal treasure chest can only have relatively low-level items inside.”
Chen Feng took out the six wooden treasure chests and opened them all.
A six seconds progress bar appeared on top of the chest.
[Lighter *2]
[Niulan Mountain Alchohol *1]
[Snickers chocolate *2]
[A pack of red Nanjing cigarette]
“F*ck…I got cigarettes and alcohol. I had quit smoking and drinking many years ago!”
Chen Feng was a little speechless about the items that he had opened. He did not need them for the time being, so he stored them in the warehouse. The six wooden treasure chests were broken down into twelve pieces of wood.
Now that he had enough wood and plant fibers, Chen Feng planned to level up the wooden raft again. He wanted to see how many levels he could reach.
“Level up.”
The wooden raft beneath his feet started to shake violently. Three rays of white light flashed, and he leveled up his raft four levels consecutively.
[Exquisite wooden raft]
Level: 9
Area: 13 *20M
Level Up: Wood (remaining 31, requires 110), plant fibers (remaining 11, requires 50)
Evaluation: Waterproof and fireproof but not bandit proof.
After leveling up, the warehouse was much emptier. The raft could still be upgraded before reaching the max level, and the mall could be upgraded. Chen Feng shook his head sadly as he still lacked some resources. However, he was satisfied. Through the chat channel, Chen Feng knew that most people’s raft was still at level 1 or 2.
[Global announcement: The novice protection period will end in 3 minutes.]
[The global navigation game will be updated in 3 minutes.]
[This update will include a regional map function. The area of the sea within the region can be viewed with the map.]
[A friend function had been included. In the same region, friends can view each other’s location on the map.]
[A Treasure Island will spawn in each region. Please search for Treasure Island on the map. Explore the island freely. Treasure Island will sink into the sea in 15 days.]
[At the same time, all sea creatures will mutate, including but not limited to their size, ability, intelligence, and attack power.]
[I wish all players who had survived were ready. The official game is about to begin!]
[Countdown: 2 minutes and 30 seconds]
The notifications in Chen Feng’s mind kept ringing. He did not expect that the game would undergo such a massive change after the beginner period ended.
The chat channel had already exploded with messages. It was full of scary, crazy, and expectant comments. The messages kept appearing so fast that it was impossible to read.
Map function? Treasure Island? Friend function? Mutated marine creatures?
Chen Feng roughly understood these four things.
The map and friend function should be the support tools in the game.
The marine creatures had mutated, and their attack power had also increased. Chen Feng felt it should not be a big problem based on the toughness of his raft.
As for Treasure Island, it is self-explanatory from its name. After the game update, he would definitely go and see what treasure there is.
The Treasure Island also would sink into the sea after 15 days. It was probably because the game did not want players to avoid the sea storms by staying on the island.
Everything aside, there would definitely be a lot of plants on it because there would be soil. Therefore would definitely be plenty of wood and plant fibers.
Chen Feng quickly used ten plant fibers from [Warehouse] to make a thick and long hemp rope.
“Little Fatty! Come here, I’ll put some clothes on you!”
Chen Feng waved his hand and motioned Little Fatty to come closer.
Little Fatty came over without another thought. He thought that there was something good to eat, so he swam over with excitement.
After waiting for him to get closer, Chen Feng jumped into the water and wrapped the hemp rope around Little Fatty’s body a few times. It looked like a horse leash.
Once the game update was completed and Treasure Island had spawned, Chen Feng would be able to rush over the fastest due to Little Fatty’s speed.
“Little Fatty, follow my instructions later. If you follow me, I’ll reward you with pomfret fish!”
Kacha~
The huge shark’s head emerged from the water. Little Fatty twirled twice in the water, looking very happy and full of energy.
After a while, the countdown continued.
[Countdown: 10]
[9]
…

[Game update completed. Map function and friend function activated. Marine creatures had begun to mutate. The area Treasure Island has been refreshed.]
The novice fishing rod in Chen Feng’s hand suddenly turned into dust and scattered with the wind.
For Chen Feng, who had the Emperor’s luck, it was a pity that the godly fishing rod, which had 100% probability, had disappeared just like that.
Before feeling sorry for it, Chen Feng heard the notification and quickly opened the game interface. As expected, there was an additional option for [Map] and [Friend].
Before he could open the map, two boxes popped up on the light screen in front of him.
[Tang Yucheng wants to add you as a friend. Do you agree?]
[Zhou Lingrui wants to add you as a friend. Do you agree?]
“These two are quite fast.” Chen Feng clicked [No] on Tang Yucheng’s friend request and [Agree] on Zhou Lingrui’s friend request.
Then, he opened the map, and a blue map popped up on the light screen in front of him.
The map was circular. The map indicated that the radius of the circle was 1000 kilometers. Treasure Island was a red dot that was blinking in the middle of the map.
On the other side of the circular map, there was a yellow dot that was blinking. Chen Feng looked up, and it was Zhou Lingui’s location.
Zhou Lingrui had not mentioned that she was in the same area as him; therefore, he had not expected her to be from Chen Feng’s area. No wonder she wanted to add Chen Feng as a friend.
Chen Feng’s location was at the lower right corner of the circular map. It was about 100 kilometers away from Treasure Island. It was not too far away.
“Little Fatty, swim in that direction. Quick! Come on, let’s Go!”
Chen Feng pointed to the northwest and shouted at Little Fatty.
Little Fatty understood the order and let out a weird cry. His huge body quickly dived down into the water with his tail moving swiftly, pulling the wooden raft.
Waves broke out on the surface of the sea. Little Fatty was indeed an adult great white shark. His speed was very fast, and he pulled the huge raft with no difficulty.
It was estimated that they were traveling at a speed of 50 KM/H. At this rate, Chen Feng would be able to reach Treasure Island in less than three hours.
Chen Feng could rely on Little Fatty to arrive at Treasure Island quickly. However, the others would be in big trouble. They could only make oars from [Manufacture] to paddle themself over. Who knew when they would be able to arrive if they were far away.
Chen Feng was riding on the raft and cutting through the waves. Suddenly, a lobster the size of his arm jumped out of the sea and swung its huge pincers at Chen Feng.
