Super Ship: Matchmaking starts with black and white stockings sisters

Qin Yu gripped the machete tightly in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

He stood at the very front of the deck, like a cheetah poised to pounce.

"They're here!"

On the dark sea in the distance, a huge white wave is approaching.

That wasn't an ordinary wave.

That was the turbulence created by countless dorsal fins cutting through the water's surface.

"roar--"

The roars rose and fell, sending chills down one's spine.

Yao Qian was so frightened that she buried her face in her sister's back, trembling.

Although Yao Xue tried to remain calm, she gripped the sharpened wooden spear tightly in her hand, but her breathing was as rapid as a bellows.

"Prepare for battle!"

Qin Yu gave a low shout.

Just then.

A slight tremor suddenly came from the raft beneath my feet.

The vibration didn't feel like the lapping of ocean waves.

It sounds more like the hum of some kind of precision machinery operating at high speed.

"Buzz—"

The sound came from underwater.

From the [Deep Sea Ghost] cannon barrel that was fixed to the keel.

next second.

Qin Yu only felt a blur before his eyes.

There was no fire or flames shooting into the sky.

There was no smoke of gunpowder.

There was only one extremely dull thud, as if it could shatter one's heart.

"Pfft—BOOM!!!"

Two hundred meters away.

In the center of the approaching white wave, the seawater instantly exploded.

A water column with a diameter of over five meters shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds!

The scene was like a giant whale spouting water in the ocean.

However, the water column contained countless pieces of flesh and limbs.

The once-mighty beast tide suddenly had a huge gap appear in the middle.

"this……"

Qin Yu was stunned.

He hadn't even had a chance to raise the machete in his hand.

"Pfft—BOOM!!!"

A second muffled thud followed immediately.

Another jet of water exploded.

This time, Qin Yu saw things clearly.

A strange fish, even larger than the saw-toothed shark from yesterday, was blasted to smithereens by a high-pressure water bomb before it even had a chance to surface.

That's really trash.

Not even a complete corpse was left behind.

Followed by.

"Pfft—Boom!"

"Pfft—Boom!"

"Pfft—Boom!"

This was a one-sided massacre.

And it's fully automatic.

Qin Yu's tense nerves gradually relaxed amidst the rhythmic roar.

He glanced somewhat awkwardly at the knife in his hand.

What's the point of melee combat?

With a range of 200 meters, it's practically an invincible defensive line in this pitch-black night with extremely low visibility.

Those sea monsters didn't even get a chance to hit the raft; they were sent to meet their maker before they could even smell Qin Yu.

"Qin... Qin Yu..."

Yao Xue's trembling voice came from behind.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Yu turned around.

The two sisters stared wide-eyed at the exploding water in the distance, their expressions blank.

"That's...our cannon?"

Yao Qian asked, stammering.

"Otherwise what?"

Qin Yu tucked the knife back into his waistband and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The flames danced in the wind, illuminating his slightly helpless face.

"Alright, put the stick down."

"Looks like I don't need to go all out tonight."

Qin Yu exhaled a smoke ring and plopped down on the deck.

too strong.

That's a bit too strong.

This [Deep Sea Ghost] is practically a bug-level existence.

What was supposed to be a bloody battle turned into a fireworks display.

Although these "fireworks" are made of seawater and flesh.

"Really... we don't need to worry about it?"

Yao Xue still couldn't quite believe it.

As she watched the dark figures in the distance being blasted apart before they even got close, the fear in her heart was slowly replaced by a sense of absurdity.

Is this what it feels like to cling to someone's coattails?

While others are struggling between life and death, we're just watching the show?

"Need not."

Qin Yu waved his hand.

"If you can't hear any impact sounds, it means there are no fish that escaped the net."

"Sit down and rest."

The atmosphere visibly relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Yao Qian's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"I am so surprised……"

"I thought I was going to be eaten today."

She patted her chest, panting heavily.

Qin Yu ignored their comments.

He stood up, walked to the railing, and frowned as he looked at the sea.

He didn't look too good.

It was even somewhat gloomy.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Xue noticed that something was wrong with him and came over to ask him softly.

"This cannon is a bit of a rip-off."

Qin Yu flicked his cigarette ash and pointed to the red-stained sea in the distance.

"Look over there."

Following Qin Yu's finger, I looked in that direction.

Yao Xue pushed up her glasses and took a closer look.

"So much blood...and bits of flesh."

"Yes, it's minced meat."

Qin Yu said with some reluctance:

"That cannon was so powerful that it blasted the monster to pieces."

"Moreover, the range is too long, all over 200 meters."

"At such a distance, and with such strong winds and waves, those fragments of corpses simply can't drift over."

Yao Xue was stunned for a moment.

They immediately realized what was happening.

"You mean...we're unable to gather supplies anymore?"

"That's right."

Qin Yu sighed.

Even without treasure chests, the flesh, skin, and bones of the sea monster are all resources.

But now.

It's all gone.

They were all blasted away by those wasteful cannons.

Either sink to the bottom or be swept away by the waves.

"Even leaving me a complete corpse would be fine..."

Qin Yu watched as another cloud of blood mist exploded in the distance, his heart bleeding.

This is not about killing monsters.

This is clearly burning money!

Although the ammunition is seawater, the potential gains from this loss are astronomical.

"never mind."

Qin Yu shook his head, somewhat disheartened.

"What you gain, you lose."

"At least I survived."

That night.

Life was extremely boring.

What should have been a thrilling night of "undercurrents" was turned into a "listening" event by this fully automatic water cannon.

Every few seconds, or every few minutes.

Then you can hear a muffled thud coming from afar.

The rhythm is so strong it makes you want to sleep.

Yao Qian was initially excited as she counted how many fish she had fried.

By the time she counted to the hundredth, she was already snoring in the tent.

Yao Xue couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep next to Qin Yu.

Only Qin Yu.

Hearing those muffled thuds, I calculated the losses in my mind, and the heartache kept me awake at night.

……

The next morning.

The storm has subsided.

The sun rose as usual, dispelling the gloom over the sea.

The water cannon finally stopped working and entered standby cooling mode.

Qin Yu emerged from the tent, sporting dark circles under his eyes.

"Good morning, Brother Qin Yu!"

Yao Qian was full of energy and was doing stretching exercises on the deck.

The white stockings were a little dirty, but they were still dazzling in the morning light.

"morning."

Qin Yu yawned and walked to the bucket to wash his face.

The icy seawater stimulated his nerves, making him much more awake.

What should we have for breakfast?

Yao Qian leaned closer, her face full of anticipation.

She couldn't forget the crab feast she had yesterday.

"Eat meat."

Qin Yu pointed to the smoking grill next to him.

There were a few dark, murky things hanging there.

It's the meat from the saw shark we killed the day before yesterday.

After two days of air drying and smoking, it looks hard and stiff, like a stone.

"Ah... eat this..."

Yao Qian's face immediately fell.

"It's good enough to have something to eat."

Yao Xue walked over, took the pieces of shark meat off the cutting board, and placed them on the cutting board.

I made a few forceful cuts.

"Click-clack".

Good guy.

The knife almost broke.

"This meat... seems a bit too tough."

Yao Xue felt a little embarrassed.

"Let's make soup."

Qin Yu gave the instructions.

"Add more water and cook it until it's very soft."

Half an hour later.

The three sat around the pot.

The pot was bubbling away, emitting a... indescribable aroma.

It has a slightly fishy smell.

It also smells a bit like ammonia that hasn't been properly flushed from the toilet.

"vomit……"

Yao Qian had only taken a sniff when she couldn't help but gag.

"What's that smell?!"

"Why does it taste like pee?"

Qin Yu's face also turned somewhat dark.

He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

I chewed it twice.

It's like chewing on an old tire that's been soaked in urine.

It was sour, astringent, hard, and had a pungent, fishy smell.

"Pooh!"

Qin Yu vomited immediately.

"Damn, why does this shark meat taste so awful?"

He had never eaten shark meat before, but he had heard that shark fin was a good thing.

But he didn't know.

Sharks do not have a urinary system; they excrete urea through their skin.

Therefore, the meat naturally has a urine-like smell.

Without special treatment, it's impossible to eat.

"Qin Yu...I...I can't eat either."

Yao Xue took a small bite, and her face turned pale. She forced herself not to spit it out.

This is too torturous.

Yesterday it was king crab, today it's urinating tires.

Who can bear this kind of drop in status?

"Stop eating."

Qin Yu slammed the bowl down.

"This stuff is not fit for human consumption."

"So what shall we eat?"

Yao Qian clutched her stomach, looking aggrieved.

"Do you still have compressed biscuits?"

"There's one more thing..."

Qin Yu looked at the large pot of shark meat soup in the pot, which was actually very high in protein.

His eyes flickered.

"I'm not eating anymore."

"Take this and sell it!"

"Sell?"

The two sisters were stunned.

"Even dogs wouldn't eat this stuff, who would buy it?"

Yao Qian blurted it out.

Qin Yu sneered and opened the [Regional Trading Channel].

"Even dogs won't eat it?"

"You're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man."

"Look at these people! These days, they'll even eat a pile of shit, as long as it fills their stomachs!"

talking.

Qin Yu put the whole pot of soup and meat, along with dozens of kilograms of smoked shark meat hanging on the shelf, on the shelf!

[Seller: Anonymous]

[Item for trade: High-calorie shark meat (cooked/dried)]

[Inventory: 50kg]

[Requirements: Basic building/upgrade materials such as metal sheets, stones, copper blocks, and iron blocks.]

[Note: Large quantity, filling, and provides energy. No wood, no plastic, only solid ingredients!]

This order has been posted.

It's like throwing a piece of raw, bloody meat into a pond teeming with piranhas.

The entire chat channel exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Meat! It's meat!"

"The anonymous seller has uploaded something again! This time it's subtitled content!"

"My God, 50 kilograms? Is this a slaughterhouse? I can't even catch a small fish, and he's selling meat?"

"Shark meat? Can you even eat that?"

"Are you stupid, upstairs? We're starving to death and you're still worried about whether it's edible or not? I'd eat it even if it's poisonous!"

"Hey bro! I have iron ingots! I have pig iron from opening chests before! Want to trade?"

"I have stone bricks! I'll give you all the ballast stones from the raft!"

Some people even messaged Qin Yu directly.

"Dad! Please, please, give me something to eat. I can trade you a photo! One of those photos!"

Qin Yu didn't even glance at those private messages.

Automatic trading was set up directly.

1kg of shark meat = 10 units of iron.

1kg of shark meat = 20 units of stone

1kg of shark meat = 5 copper ingots

This price.

He's a prime example of a heartless businessman.

But at this stage, food is life.

As for those iron blocks and stones, most people have no use for them at this stage.

Because their rafts were just a few pieces of wood pieced together, they were not qualified to use such high-grade materials.

Holding this just takes up space; I might as well get some meat to eat so I have the strength to survive tonight.

"Ding! Transaction successful! You have obtained 10 iron blocks."

"Ding! Transaction successful! You have obtained 40 stones."

"Ding! Transaction successful! You have obtained 5 copper ingots."

……

The system notification sounds were ringing out like a screen being flooded with notifications.

The pile of unpalatable shark meat in Qin Yu's backpack was decreasing at a visible rate.

Instead.

It was a collection of metals and stones with a cold, gleaming sheen.

"They've gone mad...they've all gone mad..."

Yao Xue stared in disbelief at the transactions.

"They...did they really sell all these high-grade materials?"

"These will be key to upgrading the raft later."

As a highly educated woman, she was well aware of the value of this non-renewable resource.

"They had no choice."

Qin Yu looked at the materials rapidly piling up in his backpack, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

"For someone who is about to die, future gold is not as good as a steamed bun now."

"and."

Qin Yu pointed to the wooden plank under his feet.

"You saw the waves last night too."

"Wood is wood after all."

"No matter how much you reinforce it, it's still just wood."

"If you were hit by a sea monster of that size, you'd definitely fall apart."

"If we want to live longer, if we want to sleep soundly through the next six days of undercurrents."

"It needs a skin change."

"Change it to iron!"

Qin Yu's eyes gleamed with fervor.

His raft is now 100 square meters.

All solid wood structure.

Although it is large enough, its defensive capabilities are actually quite limited.

If it encounters a massive sea monster or an even more powerful storm, it's only a matter of time before it disintegrates.

But now.

With the materials delivered by these "kind-hearted people".

He can now initiate the raft's second evolution.

"system!"

Qin Yu silently recited this in his mind.

"Open the build panel."

"I want to upgrade!"

The light screen unfolds.

Qin Yu's gaze skipped over the gaudy furniture.

It's locked to the "Basic Structure" section.

[Current Material: Reinforced Pine Board]

[Next level: Ironwood hybrid armor (Requires: 1000 wood, 500 iron blocks, 200 nails)]

[Description: A layer of sheet metal is applied to the surface of the wooden planks, greatly enhancing their impact resistance, fire resistance, and bite resistance.]

Originally, 500 iron blocks was a number that would have driven people to despair.

If you try to catch the box by fishing, it will probably take a month.

But now.

Qin Yu glanced at his backpack.

[Iron Block: 860]

This was all in exchange for that pot of shark meat that smelled of urine.

"upgrade!"

Qin Yu didn't hesitate and waved his hand.

"Replace them all!"

"Boom!"

A dull thud was heard.

Suddenly, streaks of white light appeared on the originally yellowish-brown wooden deck.

Followed by.

Countless black metal sheets appeared out of thin air, covering the wooden board like fish scales.

"Snap! Snap!"

That was the sound of metal meshing.

It sounds powerful.

In just a few minutes.

The raft was originally full of primitive charm.

It's changed a lot.

The 100-square-meter deck has now been transformed into a black iron plaza.

Sunlight shines on it, reflecting a cold, metallic sheen.

Even the surrounding fences were covered with a layer of sheet metal.

"this……"

Yao Qian squatted down and tapped the deck with her fingers.

"Clang! Clang!"

crisp.

hard.

"Wow! It's turned into an iron ship!"

"That's so cool!"

The little girl rolled around excitedly on the deck.

"If that shark dares to bite again, we'll break all its teeth!"

Yao Xue was also shocked.

She looked at Qin Yu, who was standing in the center of the deck.

The sea breeze ruffled the hem of his clothes.

Beneath my feet lies a colossal steel ship, and behind me stretches an endless ocean.

This man.

They always manage to turn the impossible into the possible.

While others were still fighting tooth and nail over a piece of wood.

He has already boarded the ironclad warship.

While others are selling their dignity for a bite to eat.

He traded a pile of garbage meat for this sea fortress.

"Qin Yu..."

Yao Xue stepped forward, her eyes glazed over.

How many more surprises are you going to give us?

Qin Yu turned around and looked at the newly renovated base.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"This is nothing."

"This is just the basics."

He walked to the edge and looked underwater.

With this layer of iron armor.

In addition, there are water cannons underneath.

Only then did this ship truly have the means to establish itself in this apocalyptic world.

Stop feeling sentimental.

Qin Yu clapped his hands.

"Now that we've sold the meat, we still haven't figured out what to have for breakfast."

"Yao Qian, go check the fishing nets."

"Although the big monsters were all blasted to pieces."

"But there should still be some small fry who slipped through the net."

"Let's eat something light today."

"I'd like something lighter too..."

Yao Qian got up with a bitter face.

"I never want to smell that urine again in my life."

Just then.

A slightly different notification sound suddenly rang in Qin Yu's mind.

This is not a notification of a successful transaction.

It wasn't a notification for a daily lottery.

Instead, it's a special alert from the system.

**"bite!"**

**"Special energy fluctuations detected."**

**Coordinates: Southeast, 5 nautical miles away.**

"A 'drift island' is approaching."

Qin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

island?

In this world where everything is water.

An island appeared?

What does this mean?

It means resources.

It means fresh water.

This means a higher-level treasure chest.

It might even mean encountering other groups of survivors.

"It seems so."

Qin Yu gazed at the horizon to the southeast.

There.

A dark shadowy figure could be vaguely seen, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

"Today's schedule needs to be changed."
