Survival at Sea: Recruit Top-Tier Mature and Beautiful Schoolgirls at the Start

An ancient and weathered voice resounded.

"Congratulations to Ye Hang for becoming the first winner in this region to upgrade his raft to a wooden boat. He is awarded a purple epic treasure chest."

In an instant.

The local chat room exploded with activity.

"Holy crap, Ye Hang, you might as well play this game all by yourself. You're number one in everything, what's the point of us even playing?"

"A purple epic chest! I haven't even seen a single blue superior chest yet. It's so frustrating!"

"Anyone want to team up? If this continues, we'll only be left far behind."

"Ye Hang, please take care of me."

……

Ye Hang glanced at the chat room and then stopped paying attention.

"There are actually people thinking of teaming up to defend against me? Heh, come on then, I hope you won't regret it later."

Chu Mengli circled the wooden boat, looking at it again and again, her eyes shining.

"Captain, your talent is too useful! We're far ahead of them now. I've seen it; their fastest upgrade is barely to level five, but we've already upgraded to a wooden boat."

"Before, when I slept on that raft, I always felt it was damp, but now I don't have that worry at all. There's also a railing, so I feel much safer, and there's even a room."

When the topic of the room came up, Chu Mengli stopped abruptly.

"So, what's wrong with having a room?" Ye Hang said with a mischievous grin.

Chu Mengli blushed slightly, stopped talking, and ran into the room to look around.

Ye Hang smiled slightly; Chu Mengli seemed to be becoming more and more relaxed.

He looked towards the bow of the ship.

A purple epic treasure chest has spawned there; it's a reward just issued by the system.

"Another purple epic chest, I wonder what I'll get. The previous reward was a mid-level constitution potion, will this time it be a mid-level intuition potion?"

Ye Hang slowly walked to the treasure chest, and with a thought, the treasure chest opened.

A flash of purple light revealed the items inside the treasure chest.

It is a radar.

[Navigation Radar (Epic): Detects treasure chests, creatures, islands, traps, etc. within a 50-nautical-mile radius and marks them on the map. (Note: Can only be used on a ship.)]

Ye Hang's eyes lit up.

"This is a great thing! Although Eagle Eye can detect the surroundings, it can only lock onto one direction, and the distance is less than 50 nautical miles, only 20 nautical miles."

"This radar can detect more than twice the distance of Eagle Eye, and it's 360 degrees all around."

"However, it's still a bit inferior to the Prophecy Eye, which can predict distances of 100 nautical miles or even further. But the Prophecy Eye can only predict treasure chests, and this radar perfectly makes up for that shortcoming."

A thought crossed my mind.

Marine radar activated.

A radar platform was built at the bow of the wooden boat, from which the surrounding sea charts could be viewed.

Of course, you can achieve the same effect by directly viewing the map on the system panel without going to the radar platform.

"Now it's time to deal with this bottle of intermediate-level constitution potion."

[Intermediate Constitution Potion (Epic): Increases constitution by 0.5 after consumption]

"Should I use it myself or give it to Chu Mengli?"

"According to the rules, it would be most cost-effective to use it on Chu Mengli, which is equivalent to both of us increasing our physique by 0.5. The only concern is whether Chu Mengli will defect."

I thought about it for a while.

Ye Hang made up his mind.

"Let's give it to Chu Mengli first. At this stage, even if she wanted to defect, she wouldn't have the chance. Besides, what's most concerning is how the captain's attributes will change after a crew member dies."

"If I'm not mistaken, the captain's attributes will definitely be directly deducted from the crew's attributes, which means Chu Mengli can't die easily. Only in this way can I ensure that my combat strength remains unchanged and have the qualifications to compete with other captains."

"At the same time, we can also test Chu Mengli's reaction. Surely she won't be indifferent to such a precious potion?"

Having made his decision, Ye Hang called Chu Mengli out.

"You've been doing well lately, here, this is a treat for you."

Ye Hang casually handed the intermediate-level physique potion to Chu Mengli.

"What is this?"

Chu Mengli asked with a smile, but when she saw it clearly, her body trembled.

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "You, no, Captain, you're going to give this to me? This is a potion that increases physical strength by 0.5 per use, which is equivalent to gaining half a person's strength."

"You're one of my crew members, so naturally I'll give you the ability to protect yourself. And you should also know that if your attributes increase, mine will also increase, so giving it to you is equivalent to doubling the benefit. We're a team, so giving it to you is the best choice."

Chu Mengli looked serious.

What Ye Hang said was not a secret.

Although she wasn't the captain, she could learn a lot of information just by paying attention to the chat room.

Moreover, he knew that many captains chose to take the medication themselves.

That way, even if the crew dies, their strength won't be reduced too much.

Moreover, they won't have to feel heartbroken or conflicted when they want to change crew members.

"It seems he really wants me to be a long-term crew member? This is a precious potion that can increase constitution by 0.5."

"He just gave it to me so easily? How am I supposed to repay him? I can't just do nothing, can I?"

Various thoughts flashed through Chu Mengli's mind.

Soon, her eyes narrowed, as if she had made up her mind.

"Consider it a perk!"

She leaned close to Ye Hang and kissed him on the cheek, then quickly fled to the wooden boat room, where Ye Hang couldn't see her.

Ye Hang's heart pounded as he savored the lingering fragrance on his cheeks, feeling a sense of unfinished business.

"Hehe, my choice was definitely right. Although we haven't reached the point of kissing yet, this sweet kiss has already brought us closer."

"I guess she's just a little shy, thinking we haven't known each other long enough, and besides, she hasn't had any dating experience yet."

"I think as long as the time comes, winning her over won't be a problem."

"In the post-apocalyptic world, having a stunningly beautiful older woman by your side is definitely not a bad thing, and her talent is quite useful, at least an A-level."

"Hmm, shouldn't we find an opportunity to enhance her talent as well? I think there should be such an item, but I just haven't encountered it yet."

Ye Hang opened the status bar.

"My physique has finally surpassed 3. Now I can unleash the true power of the Frostbow. In the future, before others even see me, the Frost Arrows will have already arrived, taking the enemy's head from a thousand miles away. Just imagining it is exhilarating."

Ye Hang then opened the ship status interface.
