Chapter 3 Waste Pickers at Sea
[Ship Spirit Enhancement], obviously this is a newly unlocked function of the system, and the interface has changed from the original "??? "It's a new page.
From the description, this is responsible for strengthening the function of the humanoid ship spirit, and the price of strengthening is ...... Soul?
At the same time, Hades also noticed that in addition to displaying [Gold Coins: 0], the upper right corner of the panel has a new parameter.
[Soul: 1]
Hades was a master of playing games before the time travel, and he tried countless game types, so he quickly understood what was added to the system.
If the [Build Option] is aimed at the expansion and transformation of the main ship, then the [Ship Spirit Enhancement] is undoubtedly aimed at the ship spirit in this human form.
Gold coins can be exchanged with the system for materials to transform the hull, so in the same way, the role of the soul is the key to the strengthening of the ship spirit, and the reason why he is in an excellent mental state and full of energy is probably the effect of [Soul: 1].
So where did this "1" come from?
Hades closed his eyes, and the image of a giant mast half-broken and fell from the sky, and the pirate who wanted to ignite the fire in the middle of the game smashed one of its masts into the sea.
Thinking of this, judging from the indescribable picture at that time, this person should be completely dead, so to speak, the soul needed for [Ship Spirit Enhancement] is obtained from killing!
He couldn't help but be a little flustered when he came to this conclusion, this system is encouraging him to kill?
By the way, he hasn't figured out where this is?
If it were in a world where the rule of law was strict, wouldn't he have killed someone......
Hades recalls the clothes and outfits of the pirates he encountered, as well as the weapons they used, which honestly resemble the Age of Discovery.
Thinking about it this way, if he was really relieved in this era, he was just killing a pirate.
For some reason, Hades, who experienced murder for the first time, didn't have any guilt in his heart, maybe after turning from a man into a ship, he also became cold-blooded.
After a brief analysis of the system and what was happening so far, Hades moved on to the most important thing at the moment.
Repair damaged vessels.
Although he was full of energy, the pain caused by the damage to his body had been constantly feeding back to him.
Hades opened the [Build Options] screen, and used the only remaining planks in the warehouse to repair the parts of the hull that had been pierced by the harpoon.
The convenience of the system is that he doesn't need to really do it, he only needs to put the materials needed for repair on the damaged place, call up the system and click to confirm the repair, with a flash of white light, the damaged hole immediately returned to its original state, and there was not even a trace of it.
There were seven large holes in the ship, one of which needed to be repaired by three planks, and soon Hades found that there were not enough planks in the warehouse.
"Three-seven-twenty-one, there are fifteen planks here, and there are still six pieces missing."
The remaining six planks should be available for purchase in the System Shop.
Hades muttered in his mouth, and then opened the system's mall, which he didn't know, and at first glance, an ordinary wooden board actually cost 500 gold coins.
Not to mention that he has no money now, even if he has money, it is impossible to spend it like this.
Without hesitation, Hades abandoned the method of exchanging money with the system and turned his eyes to the sea.
I saw that on the sea, the ransacked merchant ship had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, but on the surface of the water, I could see a few wooden planks floating occasionally, some drifting farther and farther away with the crashing of the waves, and some were at his feet, as if the dancing girls in the flower street in Willow Lane were waving to him.
Hades jumped overboard, picked up a few nearby planks, and climbed back into the boat.
Sure enough, when he put the planks into the warehouse, the building materials in the system panel were immediately updated, including the materials he had picked up from the sea.
Hades guessed correctly, the materials used to build the hull are not only purchased from the system, but also the materials obtained from the outside world can also be used by the system, as long as he carries the materials back to the ship, the system will assume that the materials belong to him, and then he can distribute and use them in the system.
This trick turned waste into treasure, and he saw the possibility that there was a merchant ship that had just sunk to the bottom of the sea at his feet.
Although it had been looted, the parts of the ship, the planks, the metal, and even a cannon had been seen. As long as he collects these things and moves them into his warehouse, it will not be easy to use the system to transform his body into a sturdy and combat-ready ship.
After figuring this out, Hades suddenly felt that his life had hope, and quickly grabbed the work at hand.
It didn't take long for him to pick up more than a dozen planks from the sea, and not only repaired the broken hull, but also repaired the mast that he had broken on his own initiative.
But after this scavenging, he made a new discovery.
On one occasion, when he went to the sea to pick up planks, Hades swam farther and farther after the planks that had been swept away by the waves, and after reaching a certain distance, he suddenly felt that his body was poured into a jack, and his limbs suddenly lost strength, and there was darkness in front of him, and then he could see nothing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.
Then the ship spirit in the form of another person began to collapse outward from the center, and his body turned into thousands of rays of light and flew into the sky, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the ship of his main body.
How so?
Hades thought for a while and came to the conclusion that he couldn't stay too far away from the main body in the form of the ship spirit, otherwise he would be forcibly recalled by the system.
This conclusion undoubtedly gave him a blow in the face, which meant that from now on his life was forever confined to the ship, and even if he saw the earth, there was no way to get ashore. Along with his dream of renovating the ship, his dream of renovating the ship was shattered, because the bottom of the merchant ship was too far from the surface of the sea, and he could not dive far before he would be forcibly recalled, and without the resources of the sunken ship and the lack of gold coins, he once again fell into the original predicament.
Dejectedly, Hades steered the boat towards the floating debris swept away by the waves, whether to think about the dream of searching for the wreck, or to be practical, and pick up all the scrap floating on the sea.
After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, and if you want to develop, you can only scavenge waste.
Hades drove the boat relentlessly, following the direction of the current, picking up all the materials in the sunken ship that could float on the water, regardless of whether it was useful or not, and brought it back to his own ship first.
In this way, Hades worked as a cleaner at sea for a long time, and when night fell again, he finally drove the boat around the wreck.
The fruits of a day's labor allowed him to harvest:
