Grand Voyage : Surviving on a Ghost Ship-Chapter 200 - Tracking Target

With the Farmer’s coordinates in hand, Yang Yi compared them with the world map.

It was quite a distance away.

Off to the rear left, sailing there would take about six or seven days. However, the Farmer was also on the move.

So, the time could be shortened by a day or two, maybe even three, depending on how the Farmer travelled.

Yang Yi turned the bow towards the Farmer, and at the same time sent Suna a private message, asking her to design and craft a box to store the Fruit of Bounty.

“Better make several spares. Once you’ve designed them, I can do the crafting. Also, we’ll need to make some giant sea salt grenades to deal with the rotwhale.”

He sent her a long string of private messages.

There was no reply; she was probably still asleep in the cabin.

Yang Yi checked Suna’s status panel.

Her stamina was at 62. Normally, after a full rest, it would be at least 85, so she’d probably sleep for another hour or so.

As for himself, he was in good shape, even after sailing for a while, his stamina was still at 94.

However, the Banquet Guest’s stat bonuses had worn off. They usually lasted 3 to 4 hours, depending on how much food he consumed.

And his appetite lately was astonishing…

Yang Yi patted his stomach, lifted his shirt, and glanced down.

Across his abdomen was a horizontal slit, replacing his original navel, as if he had been sliced clean in half.

Neat stitches held the slit closed.

He touched it, and the slit began to wriggle, tugging at the skin, like a sealed mouth trying to open.

“I should try to control this mouth…”

Yang Yi murmured to himself.

In truth, he didn’t even need to use this mouth to gain the Banquet Guest bonus, because both the one on his face and the one on his stomach led to the same stomach.

As for what his stomach had turned into, Yang Yi wasn’t too keen to find out.

He glanced at the Stomach Pouch hanging from his waist.

“Let’s upgrade Ironbreaker first.”

Yang Yi adjusted his course, made sure there were no obstructive chunks of flesh ahead, and pulled Ironbreaker from his ring, setting it on the deck.

Then he took out the newly acquired Mid-grade Abyssal Soul Stone…

A strange power flowed into Ironbreaker, as the liquid inside the soul stone merged with the weapon.

“When I have extras of these stones, I should give Suna a few to study,” he thought.

The main issue was scarcity. They were hard to buy, but that could change in the future.

The enhancement finished.

There was no flash of light, and in fact, Ironbreaker didn’t look any different, making Yang Yi wonder if the upgrade had failed.

He tried to lift it and couldn’t budge it. The greatsword seemed heavier than before.

【Name: Ironbreaker】

【Type: Relic】【Quality: Supreme】【Description: A greatsword forged by a blacksmith in a fit of rage.The blade is made from an unknown metal. Its hardness made it extremely difficult to shape, resulting in a crude appearance. Requires 10 Strength to wield barely, and 11 Strength to use proficiently. Only those filled with courage are worthy of wielding this weapon. Humans are far too weak, only by swinging something that defies common sense can they slay…】

“Strength requirement’s this high?” Yang Yi was stunned.

His base Strength was only 7, and he still had quite a gap in experience before reaching 8.

But the greatsword required at least 10 Strength just to wield it at all.

A Spirit of Dread, a floating, invisible skull, appeared in Ironbreaker’s reflection, hovering in front of Yang Yi.

It seemed pleased, drifting around happily.

It looked like it had been strengthened as well, becoming about the size of Yang Yi’s head, a full circle larger than before.

The weapon enhancement didn’t seem to add new skills. It was a very plain improvement.

Yang Yi immediately transformed into his werewolf form and, with that body’s strength, lifted the enhanced Ironbreaker in one hand before storing it back into the Charred Worm Ring.

After finishing the enhancement, Yang Yi took a black bread ration from the ring and ate it to suppress his hunger.

He planned to wait until his body returned to its normal size before eating a proper meal.

That last banquet had nearly stuffed him to bursting. Luckily, the Gluttonous Maw had manifested and vomited up most of what he’d eaten before it was digested…

Yang Yi glanced at his reflection on the water, a sun hung overhead, with faint clouds drifting by.

He still hadn’t looked directly up at the sky until now.

But…

He raised his gaze. Nothing seemed unusual, just a blue sky and feathery clouds.

Yet before, he had clearly seen a massive hand above the sun, above the sky itself.

So… could the sky be fake?

Maybe even the sun was.

Yang Yi switched to his Third Eye and looked upwards.

In that vision, the sun was a huge sphere hanging in the sky, much smaller than that colossal hand. The longer he looked, the faker it seemed, like a 3D texture pasted into place…

His private message indicator flashed.

Suna had woken up and replied, saying she would start making the container for the Fruit of Bounty as soon as possible, but it would require quite a lot of crystal.

The sea salt grenades would also need crystal, so Yang Yi would have to replenish his supply.

And then there was the matter of money.

To process crystal, Suna said she’d need to purchase certain tools from a laboratory.

Yang Yi frowned, transferred her 300,000 Shell Coins, and was left with less than 800,000 in his account.

He urged Suna to design quickly and, preferably, have a prototype ready by today.

Also, they would need to coordinate their sailing time at the helm to avoid obstructive chunks of flesh along the route, reducing salt consumption, and keeping a safe distance from any rotwhales encountered.

Of course, if they found large chunks of flesh, killing them for a pull wouldn’t be a bad option either.

Once the lookout post was repaired, Yang Yi activated its scanning ability and found that the surrounding seas were dotted with islands.

Without a single doubt, they were all rotwhales.

He plotted the safest and fastest course toward the Farmer’s coordinates.

Nightfall.

The Nightmare Star activated Twilight Veil and slipped into stealth.

The surrounding waters were clear, Yang Yi had already driven away all the flesh chunks with sea salt.

He entered the cabin, where a new tin box sat, the container intended for the Fruit of Bounty.

It was only a display model.

Suna began explaining the container’s structure and use.

It was similar to the previous tin boxes, except the inner lining was replaced with glass, reinforced on the outside with wood and tin.

“The edges of the glass panels have all been treated, there’s virtually no leakage. It’ll hold up for at least half an hour without a problem. “

“If we make the container fully sealed, we can process it to be completely leakproof.”

“But since we don’t know the exact size and shape of the Fruit of Bounty, we’ll need to prepare a lot of these special wooden panels. You’ll have to assemble them on the spot as needed…”

She demonstrated the assembly process, cleverly using a mortise-and-tenon-like structure that allowed for quick, complete assembly and disassembly.

After that, you’d just fill it with enough stomach fluid.

Yang Yi’s stomach pouch had fully revived, its capacity restored. It was more than enough to carry plenty of stomach fluid and special panels.

Its capacity could even be upgradeable, perhaps by feeding it some gourmet food.
