Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 75 Upgraded Eagle Eye

Later, all the players realized that the sea surface, or rather the flat surface of the raft, was a clear boundary.

As long as the player remains on the raft, even the most ferocious marine creatures cannot directly harm the player.

However... there are countless ways to get players to obediently "jump into the sea" for large marine creatures.

Jiang Ran chose to fish in the Black Sea not out of arrogance, but because she wanted to test the effectiveness of her Eagle Eye skill.

In previous instances, the range of Hawkeye's abilities was simply insufficient compared to the vast expanse of land.

But it's completely different in this instance, since both the treasure chests and the dangers are "willing to be caught".

No matter how far away they are, they will eventually be pulled back to Jiang Ran's side.

As long as Eagle Eye can cover a three-meter radius around the bamboo raft, it will be enough to ensure her safety.

Therefore, while waiting for the third dungeon to open on the train, Jiang Ran not only tinkered with the crafting table to make D-level item cards, but also collected a batch of materials.

This naturally includes the eyeballs of the hawk.

After collecting all the eyeballs, she immediately upgraded her Hawkeye.

[Skill. Eagle Eye (Rank C): When activated, you can detect treasure chests and dangers within a three-meter radius (costs 10 stamina points per hour).]

Unfortunately, these basic skill cards can only be upgraded once, and the previous button will disappear after the upgrade.

However, in this instance, Eagle Eye is no worse than a B-grade skill because of its unique area-of-effect effect and instance characteristics.

Once you catch something, as long as it enters the Eagle Eye detection range, if it's not a treasure chest, just cut the line and you're done. Anyway, Jiang Ran has no shortage of fishing hooks.

It has to be said that the opening of the world channel has greatly enhanced the experience for players like Jiang Ran who have a large demand for buying and selling.

Because in the world chat, you can even start trading without adding friends, and there's also an option for anonymous trading.

Since the system acts as an anti-fraud vanguard, there's no need to worry about counterfeit or substandard items or materials. The only thing to be careful about is whether the item valuation is equivalent to its value.

But people who enjoy scamming will actively scam wherever they go.

In their previous life, despite the system's strict defenses, this group of people still managed to figure out a way to commit fraud.

While there's no loophole to exploit with props and materials, they target basic resources.

From the system's perspective, as long as the uploaded items match your description and the other party accepts your exchange, the transaction can be successful.

Yes, they exploited a loophole in the "description" section, downplaying the key points and removing all descriptions that differed from their own items, while perfectly matching the requirements of the players who wanted to acquire them.

The simplest example is that, as we all know, when there is a shortage of water at sea, drinking seawater is not only useless, but will also aggravate dehydration. And when it comes to bottled water, most people will assume that it is purified water.

So the sellers directly advertised "drinkable bottled water," since, to be honest, what kind of water can't be drunk? It's just a matter of whether it's useful or not, or even harmful.

Unsuspecting players might try to exchange other resources for seawater, only to receive a bunch of useless seawater in return, and the rest are pretty much the same.

Interestingly, this scam didn't last long because the game system would automatically upgrade and fix bugs.

It directly requires both parties to deposit a certain amount of life points as collateral, with both agreeing to return the "deposit" upon completion of the transaction. If either party feels cheated, they can appeal. A successful appeal results in receiving double the deposit from the other party; a failed appeal requires both parties to pay double the deposit back.

When Jiang Ran saw the system's detailed explanation and its expression of dislike and condemnation of those fraudsters, she was momentarily confused about what exactly this game system was all about.

How can something be both humane and inhumane?

When fishing, it's easy to clear your mind. Jiang Ran wandered aimlessly, letting her thoughts wander. Just as she was hesitating whether to use the small spinning top to touch the broken boat, the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sank!
Something's taken the bait!

Jiang Ran had already activated Eagle Eye when she cast the hook, and she slowly and steadily reeled in the line.

Based on her previous experience, if it's something like a box, it's just heavier, and the feel of it won't change much.

However, if it is a large, dangerous creature, it often feels very heavy at first, but it becomes relatively easy to reel in the line.

After all, in a way, this can be considered a "two-way race" between hunter and prey.

If it weren't for the game rules restricting these mutated marine creatures from exceeding the players' fishing line reeling speed, it would be hard to say who was fishing for whom.

With their underwater speed, they could easily reach the surface before the players even realize what's happening and then enjoy a delicious dinner.

It was precisely because of these subtle differences in feel that Jiang Ran was able to successfully avoid many crises in her previous life.

Even without Eagle Vision, she had a general idea of ​​what she had caught this time; it was probably a treasure chest.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the skill's range, a small square box outline lit up on the previously indistinct black sea surface, accompanied by a line of numbers, which should indicate the distance of the box from the sea surface.

Eagle Eye's range seems to be a sphere centered on Jiang Ran, which is quite convenient.

After reeling in the fishing line and scooping the wooden box onto the bamboo raft, the already cramped space became even more crowded.

It wasn't good to keep crammed together like this. After testing her skills, Jiang Ran stopped fishing and decided to upgrade her bamboo raft instead.

Otherwise, even without any mutant killer whales or similar creatures, a sudden storm could easily send them flying into the sea.

Please select your initial raft upgrade direction: Area/Sturdiness.

In her previous life, Jiang Ran chose sturdiness, but it was just an upgrade from a bamboo raft to a wooden boat. She was still adrift in the waves, feeling no sense of security whatsoever.

But in this life, she thought of her "architectural expertise" skills that she hadn't yet used, and an idea came to her.

[Upgrading the initial bamboo raft area requires the following materials per square meter: 10 Hardwood and 10 Iron Nails. Please select the area you wish to upgrade: __.]

Hard wood?

Based on her experience, Jiang Ran didn't hesitate to focus her attention on the wooden box she had just received.

Withstanding the scorching heat of lava and the bitter cold of snow, what wood could be harder than you?

Sure enough, by disassembling the wooden box on the crafting table, I instantly obtained... four pieces of wood plus two pieces of nails.

A wooden box has at least six sides, right? Why would they only give four pieces of wood?
Jiang Ran was furious, but there was nothing she could do, because when she took stock, she realized that her dream of having a 100-square-meter apartment had been completely shattered.
