Chapter 26
: Abundant Rewards, Flight Ranking to be Announced Soon
What they didn't expect was that while most people were struggling to survive in such extreme stormy weather, Ye Fan had taken the opportunity to upgrade his ship to the third level of the extraordinary realm. The difference between people was just too great.
Whether they are still fighting or struggling to survive, everyone was shocked by this information.
In just about a day, Ye Fan actually upgraded his initial ship to level 3. That's incredibly fast!
"Holy crap, we're still struggling to survive here, while the pros have already upgraded to level 3 ships. Does that mean it's not raining where they are?"
"I knew there was a big gap between me and Ye Fan, but I didn't expect it to be this big. How long has it been since he upgraded to a Tier 3 ship?"
"The number one player in the entire 44401 area channel is definitely Ye Fan, there's absolutely no doubt about that."
"Fang Hong betrayed others to obtain the materials to upgrade to a Tier 2 ship, while Ye Fan hasn't done anything dishonest along the way, yet he still maintains a firm lead!"
"It's well-deserved; a true master is a true master."
For a time, the channel was filled with a lot of envy, jealousy, shock and other emotions, not to mention that most people were still on the verge of death and could die at any time because of this rainstorm.
At this moment, hearing the news that Ye Fan had successfully upgraded to a level 3 ship, the impact was immense.
This means that while this torrential rain might be fatal for most people, it's an opportunity for Ye Fan!
[The host is currently experiencing a significant amount of jealousy and envy. The "Conspicuous Pack" title experience value has increased to (200/300)!]
...
Soon, a notification popped up in Ye Fan's eyes, showing that he had gained a lot of experience points for the title. His experience points instantly increased from 0 to 200, and now he only needed 100 more experience points to complete the title upgrade.
The sudden change startled him, but he quickly shifted his attention.
He is now completely focused on the changes in the Fisherman's Ship. Just now, he successfully upgraded the Fisherman's Ship from Level 2 to Level 3!
The changes brought about by this upgrade are far greater than those of the last upgrade.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's been a complete upheaval!
At this moment, the length of the ship has increased from the original 13 meters to 25 meters, and the width has also reached 12 meters. It is huge and stable, exuding a strange and majestic aura like a deep-sea behemoth.
Furthermore, the ship's structure has changed from a single-layer structure to a double-layer structure. The upper layer consists of an observation deck, a command and control cabin, and an open-air observation platform. The railings are sturdy and thick, and the edges of the ship's hull are painted with a dark deep-sea coating, making it resistant to seawater corrosion and the impact of giant waves.
The lower level is the main living area and functional area, with multiple independent cabins arranged in a row. Each cabin offers maximum privacy, and if conditions permit in the future, a lot of living supplies can be purchased to maximize comfort.
The most distinctive feature is the giant squid tentacles structure on the bottom of the ship: the underwater part of the hull grows flexible tentacles that mimic the tentacles of a giant deep-sea squid. Dozens of thick, long, dark tentacles coil around the bottom of the ship and hang down into the deep sea, with realistic textures that are both flexible and tough.
The tentacles not only stabilize the ship in the turbulent deep sea and resist the impact of ocean currents, but also entangle underwater reefs to secure the ship's position. They can also detect underwater currents and avoid reefs and deep-sea whirlpools, resembling a giant squid lurking on the surface of the sea, with the hull and tentacles seamlessly integrated.
After a thorough inspection, Ye Fan was overjoyed. With this ship, he wouldn't have to worry about the various problems that might arise from drifting at sea for a long time!
He then retrieved the current detailed information about the Deepsea Giant Squid to take a closer look at the changes in the Deepsea Giant Squid!
【Deep Sea Giant Squid】
[Level: Extraordinary Level 3]
[Ship Status: Maximum Durability, Capacity 4000 Units, Speed 150 Knots]
【Skill:
Fish Hunter: Sacrificing 200 random units of sea creature meat will summon a Fish Hunter. The strength of the Fish Hunter is determined by the quality of the sacrificed meat! (6/20 Fish Hunters can be recruited)
Never Go Home Empty-Handed: All creatures on this ship will never go home empty-handed when fishing, and the fishing yield will be greatly increased, with a huge boost to the probability of catching fish!
Fish identification technique: When fishing for giant squid in the deep sea, only beneficial fish will be caught, and a warning will be given when harmful fish are caught!
Squid Tentacles: Captain Ye Fan can control the tentacles on the bottom of the ship with his mind to pick up treasure chests, stabilize the ship, or assist in attacks! (This is a new skill acquired when the Fisherman's Ship is upgraded to Extraordinary Level 3.)
[Expandable Buildings: Crew Quarters x10, Eco-circulating Aquarium, Ship Propulsion System, Crew Dining Room.]
.......
"Great! It seems the improvements from this upgrade are far better than I expected!"
Ye Fanzai carefully read through the information panel of the Deep Sea Giant Squid, and was extremely excited. In addition to the changes in the hull itself, the ship's built-in skills had also been greatly improved!
Ye Fanzai carefully read through the information panel of the Deep Sea Giant Squid, and was extremely excited. In addition to the changes in the hull itself, the ship's built-in skills had also been greatly improved!
One skill that deserves special mention is the Fish Hunter skill, which was originally developed from the Fishing Assistant.
Unlike the earlier Fishing Assistant, which could only sacrifice 200 units of ordinary fish meat to obtain one Fishing Master, this time the Fish Hunter can sacrifice different kinds of food. The higher the quality of the sacrificed meat, the stronger the Fish Hunter summoned will be!
This greatly satisfies Ye Fan's current needs.
Nowadays, ordinary fish have become very insignificant. Recruiting more anglers would only increase the number of sea fish caught each day, with the occasional catch of a rare, extraordinary fish.
Although the treasure fish still plays a significant role, it is merely a random event!
The assistance it brings is far less than that of the current fish hunters. With this skill, as long as Ye Fan can collect as much powerful sea creature meat as possible, then... he can continuously recruit powerful fish hunters!
In this way, the combat power of the Deep Sea Giant Squid can be continuously enhanced!
"Besides evolving from a fishing assistant into a fish hunter, the Deep Sea Giant Squid has gained another skill."
"Squid tentacles!"
Ye Fan quickly noticed the last skill: Squid Tentacles!
The effect of this skill is that you can control the squid tentacles on the bottom of the Deep Sea Giant Squid ship, making it easier to collect various resources from the bottom of the ship. As for assisting in attacks... well, that's something to look at but not really. Such large squid tentacles are almost useless in combat.
Most of the time, it will definitely be used as a grappling hook!
After learning about all the skills, Ye Fan took a look at the various buildings that the ship could currently expand, and he had a general idea of the materials needed.
