“It’s the seventh day.” Chen Changan lay on The Flying Henan People, quietly waiting for sunrise.
The sky was dark blue and looked as if there was light. Gradually, a red glow appeared where the water and sky met.
A system prompt sounded. “Scanning the user’s living environment. Survival point evaluation is in progress. You have received 52 survival points today.”
After Chen Changan upgraded The Flying Henan People from a raft to a dark boat, the number of survival points he obtained every day increased by ten. After upgrading the grill to Simple Barbecue Kitchen, the survival points he obtained every day increased by five points.
All of this was expected. However, it was unexpected that the Blade of Exorcism could also increase his daily survival point gain by two.
Chen Changan guessed that increasing his ability to guard against ghost creatures was also attributed to the optimization of the living environment.
Was this good? This was very good!
As of now, Chen Changan had 80 survival points in his hands. This was because he had upgraded the Simple Barbecue Kitchen and the Blade of Exorcism.
“Phew, after the long delay, I can finally upgrade the ship!”
The plantation ship was on the left side of The Flying Henan People. Chen Changan placed ten mushy love letters and other shipbuilding resources on the edge of the plantation ship. He then pressed the hammer icon on his palm and started the upgrade plan.
Love is a ray of green light!
Chen Changan was passionate about leveling up his ship, so leveling up was also a ray of green light (fog).
The green light shot out from his palm and gradually integrated the shipbuilding resources into the plantation ship.
Chen Changan could vaguely smell a cool fragrance coming from the plantation ship. Just by smelling it, he felt his entire body shake, and his limbs were filled with energy.
At this moment, Chen Changan suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the bow of the plantation ship. “Ah, I am indeed the most beautiful woman in the world!”
As soon as the voice finished speaking, the plantation ship completed its upgrade and looked completely new.
[New Plantation Ship]
Quality: Light Blue
Durability: 120 / 120
Introduction: A miniature 1.6m × 2m ship. It was modified from the bathtub used by Nangong Cuihua, a half-elf. It has the natural fragrance unique to the elves, and it contains a large amount of Salt Island’s exclusive island mud.
Ability 1: Expelling Salt. It can continuously expel the salt in the soil, which will then settle at the bottom of the ship. They then condense into salt blocks to prevent the soil from becoming salt.
Ability 2: Natural Fragrance. It can accelerate the growth of plants. The survival rate of the seeds will increase by a small margin. The growth rate of ordinary plants will increase by three times.
Plant growth progress:
Sea Cabbage (69): Sprout stage, 8 days until maturity.
Tomato (10): About to break through the soil, 41 days until maturity.
Onion (10): About to break through the soil, 58 days until maturity.
Accessory: Sea Cabbage Seeds x910, Tomato Seeds x90, Onion Seeds x90.
Evaluation: Dear bathtub, am I the most beautiful woman in the world?
Chen Changan carefully read through every attribute of the plantation ship. The outcome from leveling up made him overjoyed.
Expelling Salt’s effect was originally the ability of the Salt Island soil, but it had now become one of the plantation ship’s abilities.
Initially, Chen Changan was worried that the salt and soil wouldn’t be enough to cover the entire plantation area once the plantation ship expanded in size. If that were the case, he could only go to the trading market to buy urine. Even if the price of urine was half the price of drinking water, it would still be a considerable sum.
Now, even if the plantation ship continued to upgrade, the power of the salt would only become stronger.
At the same time, the plantation ship’s size had also increased by 2,000 square centimeters. Chen Changan planted another ten sea cabbages in one go.
Chen Changan continued to study ‘Natural Fragrance.’ It could accelerate plant growth, multiplying the original growth rate by three-fold.
What was even more amazing was that the plantation ship’s interface information also provided the crops’ growth stage and growth time. With this, Chen Changan could accurately pinpoint the time period when the plants went from immature to mature.
Just the magical effect of Natural Fragrance alone was worth the ticket price.
Chen Changan was slightly excited as he said, “In another eight days, I will be able to eat fresh cabbage!”
In Chen Changan’s childhood memories, every time Lidong1 passed, the old and young in the village would start to collect cabbages. They would store tons of cabbages and tons of cabbages. The first meal at night would definitely be cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli.
Although he had lost his parents when he was young, there was nobody who dared to eat without a family after the founding of the country. The young and old men in the village all felt sorry for this poor child and took turns to treat him to a bowl of stewed cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli.
Northern cuisine, honest.
People from Henan were more honest.
A pot of vegetables would be distributed in large quantities. Sometimes, the big pot would even have some freshly made dumplings. If Chen Changan’s belly did not bulge up, the villagers wouldn’t let him go.
When they could no longer eat, the villagers would laugh and say, “Yes.”
There was a smile in Chen Changan’s eyes as he reminisced about the beautiful times of his hometown. However, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Even though Chen Changan was the only man among billions of people who had obtained a golden finger, he was still living thousands of times worse on his seventh day drifting at sea than during his life on Earth. Countless compatriots were also silently swallowed by the deep sea.
They could no longer drink the spicy soup from Henan.
He could not eat the Yellow Mountain pancakes in Anhui.
There were also the donkey burgers in Hebei and the Fenjiu [2. A type of distilled spirit] of Shanxi.
Everything in Liaoning could be strung together.
Heilongjiang’s pot of pork, Jilin’s stewed blood sausage with pickles, Jiangsu’s salted duck, Zhejiang’s Jinhua ham, Fujian’s oyster omelet, Jiangxi’s noodles, Shandong’s mixed grain pancakes, Hubei’s spicy dry noodles, Hunan’s stinky tofu, Hainan’s coconuts, Sichuan’s dandan noodles, Guizhou’s intestine noodles, Yunan’s mushrooms, Shanxi’s chinese hamburgers…
Gansu’s beef noodles, Qinghai’s noodles, Taiwan’s milk tea, Guangdong’s morning tea, Shanghai’s pan-fried buns, Beijing’s tripe, Tianjin’s fried dough twist, Chongqing’s sour and spicy noodles, Inner Mongolia’s whole roast lamb, Xinjiang’s naan, Guangxi’s luosifen, Ningxia’s minced noodles, Tibet’s highland barley wine, Hong Kong’s cart noodles, Macau’s egg tarts, seafood in China’s territorial waters, and the old and beautiful scenery…
These were all reasons why he desperately wanted to go home!
Chen Changan looked at the thriving sea cabbage and picked up a handful of yellow and black soil. The beautiful memories in his heart sparkled like a diamond.
Thus, Chen Changan set his first great ambition in the Deep Sea World. “One day, I will bring all the Chinese people home!”
Although the path ahead was uncertain, Chen Changan believed that even if he was only a weak spark, even if the deep sea was boundless, and even if the flames were drowned by the sea, the 1.4 billion stars would join together to create a fire as long as people continued to attack.
One day, the scarlet flames would boil the deep sea, incinerate the eight desolates, and open up a path home.
One day, he would let all the Chinese wanderers return home!
Of course, there was only one thing Chen Changan could do at the moment.
He scooped out a handful of seawater from the sea and watered the tomatoes and onions.
Plant vegetables!
