Blue waves crashed on the white sand, and seagulls cried out in the sky.

The salty sea breeze ruffled Su Qing's long hair. Su Qing looked at the orange-red sky above her head and slowly exhaled.

The heaviness on my shoulders finally eased a bit.

Immediately after clearing the dungeon, the three were teleported back to the island.

Fortunately, that's the case; Su Qing didn't want to deal with the mess that followed.

He looked down at the extra thing in his hand.

It was a coarse cloth bundle, looking ordinary and of little value.

However, this is the reward for completing the game on Hell difficulty.

Wang Yao planted the shield, now only half intact, in the sand and plopped down on it.

"I feel so tired..."

Miss Selena also felt a little tired, so she took out her flying carpet and rested on it.

Su Qing looked at the package in her hand, then glanced at her two teammates who looked exhausted.

"The rewards will be announced tomorrow. Everyone, please rest today."

No one objected; the reward was inevitable anyway.

The three arrived at the boat. Wang Yao slung the broken shield on his back and climbed the rope ladder onto the boat.

Selena naturally went up via a flying carpet.

This time, however, there was one more person: Su Qing.

He stopped talking about the proper distance between men and women and now he would rather lie down than stand up.

Upon arriving at the cabin, the three of them finally got close to the room they had been longing for.

Selena returned to her luxurious private room, while Su Qing and Wang Yao returned to their simple double room.

Surprisingly, Su Qing fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.

That night, the entire Sunshine was filled with the sound of snoring.

Everyone slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky the next day.

Su Qing stretched and got out of bed.

I feel refreshed after this nap; it's time to unlock the rewards.

He looked up at the upper bunk; Wang Yao's bed was empty, apparently he had gone to have breakfast.

Su Qing went to the kitchen and found that Wang Yao was not there.

Not only that, even Selena, who used to get up early every day to cook, wasn't here.

Judging from the looks of it, these two people are probably waiting for him in the captain's cabin.

As soon as they arrived at the captain's cabin, they saw Wang Yao already squatting at the door.

"How long have you been squatting here?"

"Half an hour." Wang Yao rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed on the package in Su Qing's hand. "I'm afraid knocking will wake you up, and I'm also afraid you'll wake up and secretly open the door yourself."

Su Qing: "..."

Selena heard the noise at the door and went out.

"Captain, let's open the box!"

"We'll talk about breakfast later!"

Su Qing found it rather amusing that this young lady was actually interested in things like giving out rewards.

But there's nothing strange about it; he was quite interested.

The three returned to the captain's cabin, and Su Qing placed the package on the table.

Wang Yao picked up the half-broken iron shield from the side and waved it in front of Su Qing.

"Su-zai, look at this, only half is left."

"What kind of person am I, a defensive class, without a shield?!"

"Do you think we could get a shield as a reward this time?"

Su Qing glanced at the broken shield that had been with Wang Yao for so long.

"I don't know anything about fate." Su Qing paused for a moment, "But even if it doesn't turn out well this time, I'll find a way to get you a better one later."

The image of the map of Sugorokuya flashed through his mind.

The B-grade shield is indeed marked on a certain square, but the number of steps it moves is determined by rolling dice, which is too random and no different from gambling.

Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much, let's focus on what's in front of us.

Su Qing untied the black knot, spread out the coarse linen cloth, and revealed the contents one by one.

First was a leather money bag. When opened, it contained neatly stacked silver coins. Su Qing counted them; there were five hundred.

"Standard bonus." He pushed the purse aside. "I'll spend it at Midway."

Two metallic, round badges were pressed under the money bag; these were medals that could only be obtained from Hell difficulty dungeons.

Su Qing picked it up and weighed it in her hand. Including the ones she had saved up before, she now had a total of four coins.

Keep two for error tolerance, and take the remaining two to try your luck at the Sogokuya shop.

"Next."

He took out a bead about the size of a thumb from the package. It was milky white and had a light flowing inside.

Another skill orb!

[Rank D Skill Orb: Universal Language]

[Effect: After learning this skill, you can engage in basic communication with all intelligent races.]

Wang Yao's eyes lit up at first, and he leaned over to take a look, then his expression turned to disappointment.

"What kind of skill is this?"

"What's the point if it doesn't cause harm?"

Selena's eyes lit up.

"Captain, this is some really good stuff!"

"Last time in the dungeon, we couldn't understand a word the goblins were saying. If we encounter an intelligent race that can communicate with us in the future, this thing will be very useful."

Su Qing nodded and put the pearl away. It didn't have direct combat power, but the information gap itself was the greatest weapon.

In certain situations, information is more effective than weapons.

"continue."

There were two items left in the package. Su Qing first took out a roll of parchment, unfolded it, and found intricate structural diagrams drawn on it.

[Class C Building Blueprint: Giant Wave Impact]

Type: Ship conversion parts

[Effect: Installed at the bow, it causes significant structural damage to the enemy ship upon ramming.]

[Special Mechanism: Retractable design, normally hidden inside the bow, pops out when activated]

Su Qing's eyes lit up.

In naval battles during the Age of Exploration, artillery was a scarce resource and could not be purchased in the early stages.

Nine out of ten ship-to-ship battles rely on close-quarters boarding maneuvers.

But with this thing, the rules of the game change.

No need to board, no need to get close, just ram at full speed and destroy the enemy ship in one go.

Once the other ship is damaged, flooded, and loses its mobility, then calmly board it and reap the rewards.

What's even more ingenious is the retractable design; normally, the ram is hidden inside the bow, and nothing is visible on the outside.

It only popped up at the last moment when it was close to the enemy ship, giving the enemy no time to react.

"Good stuff." Su Qing rarely showed a satisfied expression as she carefully rolled up the blueprints.

Wang Yao peeked at the structural diagram on the blueprints and clicked his tongue. "This thing looks incredibly powerful!"

"More or less," Su Qing said. "Our enemies are enjoying themselves."

Selena leaned over the table, pointing at the pop-up mechanism on the blueprint. "A surprise attack, Captain, that's his specialty."

Su Qing didn't reply; her gaze had already fallen on the last item in the package.

It was a small wooden box, exquisitely crafted, with a coat of arms engraved on the lid that he had never seen before.

Su Qing reached out and picked up the wooden box; the intricately carved patterns on it caught his attention.

Wang Yao and Selena both came over at the same time, their three pairs of eyes fixed on the palm-sized wooden box.

Su Qing's thumb rested on the latch on the box lid, but she didn't open it immediately.

He had a gut feeling that the contents of this box were quite valuable.

"Captain, just go ahead and steer!" Selena urged.
