Super Ship: Matchmaking starts with black and white stockings sisters
Chapter 17 Nighttime Light
"Hold on tight!"
Qin Yu gripped the oar with his backhand, his arm muscles bulging like an inflated tire.
"Splash—!"
The iron-clad oars slammed against the water, and the enormous reaction force propelled the heavy iron-clad raft forward.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say it was safe?"
Yao Qian stumbled from the inertia and almost fell into Qin Yu's arms.
Looking back.
Qin Yu didn't turn his head, and his hands moved even faster.
The two sisters turned around instinctively.
The previously excited expression froze on his face.
The once lush and peaceful drifting island was now trembling violently.
"Boom!"
A muffled, deafening roar came from the depths of the sea, as if an unseen hand had grabbed the base of the island and was pulling it down madly.
The reefs at the edge of the island broke apart, and large chunks of rock rolled into the sea, creating waves several meters high.
Followed by.
The depression where Qin Yu unearthed the A-grade treasure chest suddenly collapsed.
Seawater overflowed.
It formed a huge vortex.
"The core guard has been killed and the core chest has been taken. This resource point will respawn soon."
Qin Yu silently recited the system's rules.
These drifting islands are one-time instances; once you collect the rewards, the map is gone.
"It...it sank?"
Yao Xue adjusted her glasses, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Less than two minutes.
That small island of 200 square meters simply vanished into the sea.
Only a few huge bubbles and a pile of rotten leaves floating on the water's surface remained.
If Qin Yu had been greedy and wanted to stay on the island a little longer, or even cut down those trees and bring them back, it would have been a mistake.
It is estimated that they have now become the souls of the dead at sea.
"Gulp."
Yao Qian swallowed hard, her face turning pale.
"Luckily, Brother Qin Yu ran fast..."
There is never a truly safe place in this world.
Qin Yu put down the oar, slightly out of breath.
He glanced at the calm sea and sneered.
Greed is the original sin.
"Taking the benefits and running away is the way to survive."
Only after the raft had drifted several hundred meters away and there were no aftershocks did Qin Yu plop down on the deck.
"call……"
He let out a long breath and his gaze fell on the silver-white box he had taken out of his backpack.
This dangerous trip was all for this.
Grade A.
This is a level of sophistication that we wouldn't even dare to dream of at this stage.
That S686 was a lucky find, but this case is the real loot.
"Is this the box?"
Yao Xue and Yao Qian also joined in, and the three of them formed a circle.
The silver-white box reflected a cold luster in the sunlight, and the large "A" on it looked like some kind of medal.
"So beautiful..."
Yao Qian reached out and poked it.
"It's icy cold."
"Brother Qin Yu, what could be in there?"
"Could it be a Gatling gun? Or a rocket launcher?"
Ever since this girl witnessed the power of the S686, her mind has been filled with heavy firepower.
"You're overthinking it."
Qin Yu shook his head.
"Weapons are a matter of fate."
"Grade A crates mostly contain top-tier survival aid items."
He rubbed his hands together.
Although she tried to remain calm, her heart was racing uncontrollably.
"System, activate!"
Qin Yu placed his palm on the lock and silently recited the command.
"Click".
A crisp mechanical sound.
The lid slowly popped open.
There was no dazzling golden light, nor were there any special effects.
Something was lying quietly inside the box.
That was a...
Light bulb?
To be precise, it is a crystal ball-like sphere with a precision metal base attached to it.
It's about the size of a soccer ball.
It is crystal clear, and there seems to be some kind of liquid halo flowing inside.
"What...what is this?"
Yao Qian's eyes widened, her face filled with disappointment.
"Just a big light bulb?"
"What do we need light bulbs for? Aren't we having a fire?"
"What a waste of having such a big wild boar guarding it..."
The little girl's lips are so pouty you could hang an oil bottle on them.
She thought it was some kind of earth-shattering treasure.
Qin Yu ignored her complaints.
His eyes were fixed on the ball of light, and his breathing gradually became heavy.
Reach out.
He picked up the ball of light.
**[Grade A Item: Artificial Sun - Lamp of Eternal Day (Power-Free Version)]**

"A divine artifact..."
Qin Yu muttered to himself.
His lips curled up in a wild smile.
"What?"
Yao Xue didn't hear clearly.
"I said, this is a divine artifact!"
Qin Yu suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with an alarming light.
"A divine weapon even more important than the Gatling gun!"
He pointed to the vast sea all around him.
"Do you know what's the scariest thing about the sea?"
"Not a monster, not a storm."
"It's black."
"It's the kind of pitch black where you can't see your hand in front of your face, and you never know what might climb onto the ship at any moment!"
Previously, the raft was small, only a dozen square meters, and the light from a barbecue grill was enough to illuminate it.
But now?
A 100-square-meter armored raft!
At night, apart from the small area around the barbecue grill, the rest of the place is a dead end.
Not to mention that the raft will be expanded to several hundred square meters, or even several thousand square meters, in the future.
There is no light.
This raft is actually a floating black coffin!
"I've got this."
Qin Yu raised the ball of light in his hand.
"Our base is the lighthouse on this Dead Sea."
"Even in the darkness, we can work, remain vigilant, and live as we do during the day!"
Yao Xue nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
As a doctor, she knew the psychological impact of light.
Living in darkness for a long time can cause depression and even insanity.
"Alright, we'll pack this up tonight."
Qin Yu carefully put the lamp away.
Then my gaze fell on the wild boar carcass that took up most of the deck.
This is the main event of today.
I was so focused on escaping that I didn't have time to look closely.
Looking at it now, this thing is really huge.
It looked like a small black car parked on the deck.
Even in death, those coarse, stiff bristles still felt like steel needles.
"Is this meat... really edible?"
Yao Qian looked at the hideous pig's head and felt a little scared.
Especially those two blasted-out eye sockets, they look a bit creepy.
"Whether it's edible or not, we'll know once we try it."
Qin Yu drew the machete from his waist.
"This is the meat of an elite monster."
"Ten thousand times stronger than that shark that grows up drinking urine."
"Sizzle—"
Qin Yu made a slash.
It's a bit difficult.
This wild boar hide is even tougher than old cowhide; when you cut it with a knife, it makes a sound like the leather is being torn.
"Such tough skin."
Qin Yu was secretly alarmed.
If it were a regular D-grade knife, it probably wouldn't even be able to cut through skin.
He increased his strength.
The veins on his arms were bulging.
"Sizzle!"
The tough pigskin was finally cut open.
The red and white flesh inside was revealed.
It has no fishy or foul smell.
Instead, it has a faint aroma of blood and flesh.
The texture is clear, and the fat layer is thick.
This is real meat!
"Gurgle..."
Yao Qian, who had initially thought wild boars were ugly, suddenly swallowed hard, completely losing her composure.
"It seems... to be quite good."
Qin Yu moved swiftly.
Although not a professional butcher, with the added power, the violent dismantling is just as effective.
Half an hour later.
A large piece of pork belly was cut off.
It weighs at least ten pounds.
"Start a fire!"
Qin Yu waved his hand.
"Nothing else tonight."
"Let's have barbecue!"
"That sizzling, oily grilled meat, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder!"
The barbecue grill was quickly set up.
The charcoal was glowing red.
The meat slices, cut into palm-sized pieces, were laid out on a wire mesh.
"Sizzle—!"
The moment the oil comes into contact with high temperature, it emits a sound that sends chills down your spine.
White smoke rose.
The thick layer of lard melted rapidly under the high temperature, flowing down the meat's texture and dripping onto the charcoal fire, igniting bright flames.
Fragrant.
The irresistible aroma of meat.
It swept over the entire raft in an instant.
The flavor is so pure.
It has no fishy smell at all, just the wonderful aroma of raw meat fat being grilled.
Yao Qian squatted next to the barbecue grill, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
She wasn't afraid of the smoke; she just stared intently at the piece of meat.
It's like staring at your first love.
"It smells so good..."
"This taste...it's absolutely awful."
Even the usually reserved Yao Xue unconsciously leaned closer, her throat bobbing incessantly.
"Sprinkle the ingredients!"
Qin Yu grabbed a handful of the barbecue seasoning he had prepared earlier.
That's a mixture of seasonings including salt, cumin, and chili powder.
With a flick of his wrist.
Red powder was evenly sprinkled onto the golden-yellow meat slices.
"boom!"
The aroma burst forth once more.
The spicy aroma mixed with the smoky, charred scent of oil rushed directly into my nasal cavity and into my lungs.
"alright."
Qin Yu picked up a piece of meat.
It's still dripping oil.
The surface is baked until golden brown and crispy, while the inside remains tender and juicy.
"Try it."
He threw the meat directly into Yao Qian's bowl.
The little girl didn't care that it was hot.
Pick it up and stuff it into your mouth.
"Whoosh... It's so hot..."
She was breathing heavily as she chewed frantically.
then.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
It looks like two 100-watt light bulbs.
"Ugh!!!"
"Delicious! So delicious!"
"This meat...this meat is sweet!"
"The skin is so chewy! The fatty meat isn't greasy at all; it melts in your mouth!"
Yao Qian called out incoherently, tears streaming down her face.
"This is for gods! This is definitely for gods!"
Qin Yu also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The teeth broke through the crispy outer skin.
The scalding hot meat juices exploded in my mouth instantly.
That sense of satisfaction.
The pleasure that comes from carbohydrates and fats.
It's simply indescribable.
"Cool!"
Qin Yu couldn't help but let out a low growl.
This is what it means to be alive!
Compared to this bite of pork, all the fish, shrimp, and crab I've eaten these past few days are just pig swill!
Eat more.
Qin Yu swallowed hard.
"Something's not right with this meat."
"It has energy."
The meat was swallowed.
Qin Yu felt a surge of heat rise from his stomach and quickly spread to his limbs and bones.
The body, which was originally exhausted from rowing and killing monsters, was instantly filled with energy.
The muscles are getting hot.
The blood is boiling.
**"bite!"**
**"Consuming the flesh and blood of mutated elite creatures."**
**"Constitution +1."**
**"Strength +1."**
**Gain temporary status: [Wild Boil] (Stamina recovery speed increased by 50%, lasting 2 hours)**
A system notification sounded in my mind.
really!
A glint of light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
This is more than just food.
This is a tonic!
It is a top-tier resource that can directly improve physical fitness!
"Don't just focus on how delicious it is."
Qin Yu looked at the two sisters.
"This meat can boost your attributes."
Even if you're stuffed, you have to keep eating!
"This works better than any exercise!"
Upon hearing this...
Yao Xue's eyes changed.
As a doctor, she knew all too well what physical fitness meant in this world.
That's the capital to survive.
She no longer held back.
They ate in large mouthfuls, their eating manners not as wild as Qin Yu's, but still quite ferocious.
Fifty kilograms of wild boar meat.
three people.
Of course we can't finish it all.
But in this meal, everyone ate at least three or four pounds.
Eat until the very end.
Yao Qian collapsed onto the deck, her belly swollen like a balloon, unable to move at all.
"I can't take it anymore..."
"If I eat any more... my stomach is going to explode..."
She let out a burp.
It tastes entirely like meat.
"It's so hot..."
Yao Xue's face was also flushed, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
That's a manifestation of energy surging within the body.
She felt stronger, and even the usual dull ache in her lower back disappeared.
"This meat... it's practically a stimulant."
Yao Xue unbuttoned one button at her collar and said, panting.
Qin Yu ate the most.
At least eight pounds should be consumed.
He took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
The muscle definition is more pronounced than before, exuding explosive power.
He felt like he could kill a bull with one punch.
"You've eaten your fill, time to get to work."
Qin Yu stood up.
It had gotten completely dark.
The surrounding sea was once again swallowed by darkness, and that oppressive sense of loneliness surged up again.
Let's light up this world.
Qin Yu took out the [Lamp of Eternal Day] from his backpack.
He walked to the center of the raft.
There stood a simple mast.
Qin Yu quickly climbed up and fixed the lamp holder to the top.
"Activate".
He pressed on the base.
Turn the knob to the maximum.
"Buzz—"
A soft buzzing sound.
next second.
light.
The light was blinding.
It poured down from above!
It wasn't that dim, yellowish firelight.
Instead, it was like a small white sun, suddenly bursting forth in the darkness.
"Whoosh—!"
The darkness receded like the tide.
The sea surface within a one-kilometer radius was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime!
You can even see the fish swimming in the seawater clearly.
The once dark and gloomy armored raft was now bathed in soft and bright white light.
That warm feeling.
Sprinkle it on your body.
It dispelled the damp chill of the sea breeze.
"Is it...dawn?"
Lying on the ground, Yao Qian squinted and reached out to block out the light.
"Oh my god..."
"This is way too bright!"
She sat up and looked around.
The once terrifying dark sea now appears to possess an eerie beauty.
"Is this the power of Grade A equipment?"
Yao Xue stood under the lamplight, looking at her own shadow.
Clear and sharp.
She felt as if she had returned to a square in a civilized society.
That sense of security.
Absolutely unparalleled.
"With this lamp..."
"Those little monsters that are afraid of light don't dare to come near at all."
Qin Yu jumped down from the mast and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
On this vast, dark sea.
They are the only source of light.
The only beacon of civilization.
Stop spacing out.
Qin Yu kicked the remaining wild boar carcass next to him.
"Take advantage of this beautiful light."
"Get rid of this big guy."
"Peel off the pigskin."
Qin Yu touched the hard pigskin.
"Once this stuff is dried and made into leather armor, it's impenetrable to most swords and knives."
"Yao Xue, you're skillful, this job is yours."
"Make each of us a tactical vest."
"Pig tusks..."
Qin Yu pulled out the two one-meter-long fangs.
It feels heavy in your hand, and the tip is frighteningly sharp.
"This is a natural spearhead."
"Tie him to an iron rod, and whoever he stabs will die."
"As for the remaining meat..."
"Cut them all into strips and hang them up to smoke."
"This will be our source of strength for the next few days."
Under the lights.
The three began to get busy.
The fear of darkness was gone.
The torment of hunger was gone.
some.
It's just a pleasure that keeps getting stronger.
