Without the protection of his mother’s ancestral statue, Chen Changan could only ask Orange to patrol the waters every night. However, this wasn’t a long-term solution.
Chen Changan sincerely hoped that the grilled ribbon fish would be judged as the best food.
“Are you willing to accept this grilled ribbon fish as a sacrifice?”
Just as he finished speaking, the corners of the Mazu statue’s mouth seemed to open slightly. Chen Changan only blinked his eyes for a moment before the grilled fish disappeared.
At the same time, the Mazu statue’s divine power increased by five points.
Chen Changan was in a good mood. ‘From now on, I won’t have to worry about sharks launching sneak attacks at night.’
“White-quality food can increase the divine power by five points? Not bad, not bad.”
But on second thought, the Mazu statue can only force a sea monster back. Its power was limited.
If Chen Changan wanted to launch a counterattack on the treasure island, he would have to bring along a batch of higher-level equipment. The power of the ancestral statue was obviously insufficient.
His first attempt at entering the treasure island could be described as a Level 0 player fighting a boss.
If he wanted to attack the treasure island… Chen Changan felt that he had to fulfill at least three conditions.
Firstly, knowing one’s enemy and oneself would allow one to be undefeated in a hundred battles. Only by searching for as much information about the treasure island as possible and knowing its true battle prowess would one be qualified to claim revenge.
Secondly, before thinking about winning, he had to think about losing first. He had to have at least two items or abilities that could be used for fleeing. It was not embarrassing to flee.
Thirdly, all the tragedies in this world stemmed from the lack of ability of the person involved. Chen Changan had to become stronger in order to be qualified to destroy the treasure island.
Chen Changan still remembered the terror he felt when escaping from the monsters. It was the closest he had ever been to death.
When strange tentacles reached out from the bottom of the temple, his mind seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Endless fear assaulted every corner of his body.
Perhaps if he looked at those tentacles one more time, he would be so frightened that he would lose his ability to escape.
Fortunately, he had long considered the matter of fleeing. Even in a state of panic, he could turn around and flee and gradually recover his rationality while running. However, the fear left by those tentacles had long been deeply engraved in his mind.
“Just like that water snake?” Chen Changan glanced at Orange and suddenly felt no fear.
While learning how to swim, Chen Changan realized something: Do not be afraid no matter what difficulties you encounter; face it with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Persistence is victory!
Just as Chen Changan was pondering on how to deal with the treasure island, Orange suddenly let out two anxious chirps and swam back in the direction of the raft family.
Chen Changan understood immediately—something had happened to the raft family!
“Let’s go!”
Orange immediately bit the rope at the bow of the ship and pulled The Flying Henan People to sail rapidly.
The distance of 100 meters was short.
When Chen Changan approached the raft family, it wasn’t a shark attacking, nor was it a Sea Demoness. Instead, it was a woman holding her round stomach, lying on the raft, and wailing in pain.
The old lady—who was originally responsible for delivering the baby—fainted on the raft. The two men stared at each other helplessly.
Chen Changan immediately realized that a woman was about to give birth.
A prompt suddenly came from the system: “Do you accept the task of delivery?”
“Yes.”
If you are poor, you will be good to yourself. If you are good, you will help the world!
Compared to billions of people, Chen Changan couldn’t be described as poor. Although his ability to help the world was far from enough, the family on the rafts in front of him were all saying the same thing.
He would definitely not stand by and do nothing!
Fortunately, a few days before Chen Changan transmigrated, he had taken the initiative to learn about the knowledge of delivering a child because of someone’s ‘abandonment problem.’
“Do you need my help?” Chen Changan wasn’t in a hurry to break through the safe distance. Instead, he shouted at the old man.
“Yes, yes, yes. If you have a solution, come quickly!” The old man was so anxious that he didn’t care about strangers anymore. Whoever could save his daughter-in-law would be his benefactor.
“Orange!” Chen Changan didn’t give any specific orders, but Orange knew what he wanted and pulled the two ships closer together.
The distance between the two boats shortened to one meter, and Chen Changan carefully jumped over. Fortunately, the large raft was made of several ordinary rafts, so it didn’t cause too much of a stir.
The old man eagerly introduced the details. His name was Ji Shu, and he had been a soldier for more than 20 years. The old lady beside him was his wife, and she had suffered low blood sugar levels since she was young. There was no candy in the aid food and water given by the Deep Sea World. After working for a while, she fainted.
He fed her bread and water, but she never woke up.
The young man’s name was Ji Shaoping, and he was a graduate student. The pregnant girl was his newly-wed wife, Zhang Li. Their family was forced to transmigrate to this world when the fetus was just eight months old.
Perhaps it was because of the harsh living environment that caused the fetus’s condition to be unstable, but Zhang Li had just eaten some bread at noon when she had a pregnancy reaction. Her stomach was hurting.
Despair was written all over Zhang Li’s face. Her pale and powerless face made one’s heart ache.
Chen Changan thought that this was bad. If the pregnant lady’s mentality collapsed, then he—as a keyboard warrior—would have no choice.
He immediately said in a calm tone, “Sister, don’t be anxious. I’ve learned how to deliver babies before! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that both of you are safe!”
Even if he hadn’t learned to deliver a baby, he had to say that he had.
Chen Changan was well aware that in ancient times, the survival instinct of a pregnant woman affected the chances of survival. In this sea, the success rate of childbirth was even lower than in ancient times.
Zhang Li’s expression calmed down a little as she used her remaining strength to thank him. “Please, Doctor.”
Chen Changan realized that because of the white priest robe he was wearing, Zhang Li treated him as a doctor.
Chen Changan did not explain; this was a good thing. It was more important for Zhang Li to regain her confidence than anything else.
He continued to ask, “Zhang Li, are you hungry? Since you haven’t given birth yet, you’d better eat something. The conditions here are simple. Eat more, and your chances of survival will be higher.”
Her husband, Ji Shaoping, immediately asked, “Bread, Zhang Li. Would you like some bread?”
A look of disgust appeared on Zhang Li’s face. Perhaps she used to love the combination of bread and milk back on Earth, but after eating bread for a week, she felt nauseous just by smelling the bread. The constant fussing of the child in her stomach also made her lose 80% of her appetite.
Chen Changan recalled that he had only taken a bite of the fish on his grill, but he didn’t feel the slightest heartache. He immediately said, “I have grilled ribbon fish on my boat. I’ll go get it!”
“Grilled?” The old man and the young man both cried out in surprise.
In fact, when Chen Changan had first met them, he had said that he had cooked food and hot water in his hands. However, he had been chased away by them as if they were enemies and had forgotten most of what he had said.
“Yes… yes.” Zhang Li looked at Chen Changan expectantly.
