Chapter 1
God-Level Selection System, Extraordinary Ship - Fisherman
Welcome to the world of the ocean, a vast expanse covering over 95% of its surface. Here lie extraordinary powers and countless treasure fish!
Each survivor will randomly receive a common-grade sea vessel. The vessel serves only as a means of transportation and has no other function. Furthermore, the sea vessels received will be distributed based on each survivor's overall strength!
The speed of the Lost Fog will increase daily, currently at 5 knots. Be careful! Do not get caught in the Lost Fog behind you, or you will be lost forever!
[The new player protection period lasts for three days, during which a random natural disaster will occur, after which the movement speed of the Lost Fog will be greatly increased!]
...
An incredibly strange sound rang in Ye Fan's ears, and then he slowly opened his eyes and struggled to stand up.
I subconsciously looked around and found myself in the middle of a vast ocean. There was no land in sight, and the only thing I could rely on was the small fishing boat I was in and the fishing rod on it!
"I've time-traveled? This is too random!"
Looking at the ocean around him, Ye Fan was speechless. If he remembered correctly, just a few minutes ago, he had just finished working overtime and hadn't even had a bite to eat when he was suddenly transported to another world.
Furthermore, judging from his current situation, he is in a very dangerous position. Not only is he alone in the vast ocean, but there is also the ever-approaching fog of the Lost Ones behind him. If he is even slightly slow in his actions, he may be eliminated immediately upon landing.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't want to die right after transmigrating. Right now, he had to learn about this world as quickly as possible and find as many useful resources as possible.
Before long, a bright blue information screen popped up in front of him, looking very high-tech.
Several options also appeared randomly on the screen.
[Personal Information] [Trading Bank] [World Channel] [Regional Channel]
...
After glancing at it, Ye Fan clicked on the personal information option, and his detailed personal information immediately popped up in front of him.
Name: Ye Fan
Status: Qi and blood at 80% (slightly weak)
Rank: Mortal
Vessel: Van-class small fishing boat (speed 1 knot, capacity 10 units)
Looking at this information panel, Ye Fan had a huge question mark in his mind. How could they dare to say that the allocation was based on everyone's overall strength with such a weak start?
The fact that you start with a small fishing boat with a speed of only 1 knot, followed by a Lost Fog with a speed of 5 knots, is already quite confusing... Isn't the status section a bit too biased?
Although the Lost Mist is currently some distance away, it's only a matter of time before it catches up. But despite his complaints, he still needs other options, so he opened the world channel again.
As soon as he opened the app, Ye Fan was stunned by the number of online users—a staggering eight billion! And judging by the update speed alone, this number seemed no joke.
"Are you all alive? Does anyone know why we were teleported to this vast ocean?"
"Waaaaah, I have thalassophobia! Why was I transported to this world? I'm doomed!"
"What were everyone's starting ships? Mine was the Windrunner. Although it's relatively small, it can reach a speed of 60 knots, which allows me to leave the Lost Fog far behind!"
"The Wind Chaser? Wow, this is a pro! Starting with a speed of 60 knots, there's no survival pressure at all. I only have a small cargo ship with a speed of 12 knots."
"Wow, some people actually manage to get a boat that can travel at 60 knots! I'm so envious. I only have a lifebuoy here, what kind of boat is that? I have to swim the whole way!"
"Hilarious! If you only have a swimming ring at the start, you'll probably be swallowed up by the fog of confusion very quickly. Good luck!"
.....
After reading this information, Ye Fan's mentality was hit hard. Goodness, it turns out that it wasn't raining anywhere else except on his side. He was just a small fishing boat at the start, while others outside were starting with a Wind Chaser with a speed of 60 knots!
The difference between these two sides is too great; they are practically two completely different worlds.
Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!
Ye Fan suppressed the urge to curse and continued reading for a while... After finding no valuable information on the [World Channel], he opened the [Regional Channel]. Compared to the [World Channel], which was cluttered and had a limited number of posts...
There is no limit to the number of times you can speak within the entire [Regional Channel], and everyone who speaks has a real photo on their face, making it much more realistic.
Moreover, after watching for a short while, it became clear that the people in the [Regional Channel] were all very close together, and they were basically all survivors from the nearby sea area!
Ye Fan quietly scrolled through the screen for a while and found that the content of the messages here was almost the same as that in the world channel, so he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to collect information.
Now, besides the [World Channel] and [Regional Channel], there's only the Trading Post left.
However, since everyone had just transmigrated, resources were scarce, the trading post had very few items, and there were no valuable or useful resources. Moreover, even if they encountered some useful resources, they had no resources to trade with them, so they were of no practical use!
"I can only rely on myself now."
Ye Fan closed the messaging channel. He had now accepted the reality before him. If he wanted to survive, he could only move forward. Staying in one place would only lead to being swallowed up by the fog of confusion behind him.
Just as Ye Fan was about to pick up the oars and start rowing, a system notification popped up in his ear.
[Ding! The God-Level Selection System has been activated!]
[The host can make one god-level choice every day!]
The moment Ye Fan heard that voice, he was immediately excited. Good heavens, the cheat system has finally arrived!
He had been wondering why he had such a terrible start, but it turns out there were benefits waiting for him. In an instant, all his frustration vanished, and he became energetic again.
"Option 1: Fisherman's Boat (Supernatural Ship). This allows the host's small fishing boat to evolve into a supernatural ship, possessing extraordinary power! Storage space is increased to 500 units, and travel speed to 80 knots!"
Option Two: 50 pounds of fresh fish. This fish was just caught from the ocean; freshness guaranteed!
"Option 3: Upgrade Card x1. The host can use this card to upgrade your (mortal) small fishing boat to a (mortal) automatic fishing boat, increasing the space to 50 units and the travel speed to 12 knots."
.....
Ye Fan glanced at the three options that popped up and was immediately shocked. Good heavens, do we even need to choose?
In his opinion, the rewards of these three options are not even in the same league. Even a fool would know that he should choose the Fisherman!
