National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

That's the rich, distinctive flavor of starch.

The burnt smell of the charred shell was especially rare at sea.

No one seemed to mind the heat; they grabbed one, blew on it, and broke it open, instantly making the aroma even more intense and overpowering!

Once broken open, the inside is soft and golden in color.

It looks similar to the high-quality potatoes from Earth.

Everyone watched expectantly as he broke off a small piece and gave it to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was not afraid of poison. Later, it tried various neurotoxins. When it ate something poisonous, a purple ring would appear on its body. From then on, it rose from a mascot to the chief steward of the food tasting.

"Try it? It's a new flavor," Renyi encouraged.

Xiao Jiu hesitated and touched it with the tip of its tentacle.

"Is this tasty?"

"That red berry you gave me before didn't taste good!"

But under the expectant gazes of the four people (and a salted fish), he still rolled up that small piece of potato and put it in his mouth.

A moment later, the entire Little Nine turned golden yellow with a "poof," and "whoosh" wrapped around Renyi's wrist, its tentacles pointing frantically at the remaining "potato" in his hand.

[Looks like this is a delicacy certified by Xiao Jiu~]

[The kids are so excited! The color chart has been updated again—Golden Legend!]

[Coffin Bro's feeding technique is so skillful (doge)]

"Alright, alright, everyone gets a share."

I gave it everything that was left.

Ivan couldn't wait any longer.

He was the one who had been adrift at sea the longest, and his craving for carbohydrates was ingrained in his bones. Even after having lip augmentation surgery, nothing could stop him from heading towards the source of happiness.

He grabbed one, quickly peeled off the charred shell, and without caring about the heat, stuffed half of it into his mouth.

"Mmm... Ah... Delicious!"

Ivan murmured incoherently.

Since entering this damned "Ocean Era," apart from the compressed biscuits he initially found, he had never tasted this flavor again...

If he doesn't replenish his carbohydrates, his body fat percentage will drop below 5%!

This is energy, this is dopamine, this is comfort!

After a simple yet satisfying lunch, the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

While eating the last piece of baked potato on one side, he pondered his next move—

The tribes of brown-skinned cavemen are a good starting point.

While underground is relatively safe, it is not convenient and cannot provide the necessary sunlight for planting. Therefore, it is best to set up the base underground, with the 'farm' overhead.

After finishing his meal, he brushed the dust off his hands and stood up.

"Take everything you need, Aurora, and bring the blue eyes."

"Okay, Mr. Renyi."

Klaus picked up the unfinished weapons and stood on the rocks below the ship with Ivan, Aurora, and Sato.

"Are we really going to dock the ship here?"

"Don't worry." Renyi jumped off the ship and directed the [Deep Sea Shadow] to dive.

Below this volcanic ash lies the seawater. Diving to a depth of ten or twenty meters without moving doesn't consume much biological energy, especially now that we have a bio-energy module that can automatically replenish it.

So this place might be a death trap for others.

But for [Deep Sea Shadow], it's a perfect underground parking space.

They stepped onto the rocks and reached a safe place.

If you choose to do so, close your eyes and use your mind to connect with [Deep Sea Shadow].

As if receiving a silent command, the 35-meter-long bio-ship slowly sank as the rudder flickered with purple light.

There was nothing particularly unusual happening.

The golden sands, like quicksand, gently embraced the behemoth, and soon even the ship's last bit of its tail disappeared into the sand, as if nothing had ever happened.

Under the sunshine, this place still retains its alluring tropical charm.

[A hidden dock! That's seriously high-class!]

[Who would have thought that a deadly weapon was moored beneath the beach?]

[The self-cultivation of a top-tier sixth-ranking member~]

[This guy is amazing! He doesn't even consider the players as opponents anymore; it's like he's completely outclassing them!]

Securing the perfect parking spot in [Deep Sea Shadow]

The five people and two living creatures changed their route and returned.

On the way, Ivan tried to whistle with his sausage-like mouth, but the sound he made was like farting, which made Klaus roll his eyes repeatedly and Aurora chuckle.

When they returned to the cave dwellers' territory, Dala Bengba was repairing a trap at the cave entrance with several gray-skinned cave monsters.

Seeing any group of people return unharmed

Dala Bengba was clearly overjoyed and lunged to the ground in a full prostration, which Renyi did not stop him.

Sometimes, maintaining a proper air of authority is more effective than feigned friendliness.

After it finished bowing, Ren Yi squatted down, a gentle smile on his face as always.

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet and gestured with his hands to form the shape of a house.

The action was very direct, and Ivan was a little excited:

"Boss, are you going to build a house up there?"

Klaus nodded and added, "Yes. The view is better from the ground, and it's easier for us to grow crops."

However, what they considered a perfectly reasonable plan was seen by Dala Bengba as nothing short of suicide.

The brown-skinned leader's yellow eyes were wide open, filled with terror.

"roar--!!"

Dala Bengba stretched out its claws and pointed at the snow-capped mountain peaks.

He mimicked the stride of a colossal creature, each step causing his body to shudder.

Even after doing all that, it still felt it wasn't enough.

Then they turned around and headed towards the depths of the tropical jungle from which they had come.

This performance was even more vivid. It lowered its body and twisted around, imitating the slithering motion of a snake, while its hands gestured the opening and closing of its jaws above its head, and it hissed.

Finally, Dala Bengba collapsed to the ground, clutching his head and trembling.

Wow, that acting is amazing!

[Translation: Two neighbors, Godzilla and Anaconda, their property management fees are wasted, and they're both going to die!]

No wonder these guys prefer to live in the dark underground.

Renyi finally understood why they lived underground.

I used to think they were some kind of creature that couldn't stand the light, since they were called cave dwellers.

It turns out it wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I didn't dare.

Seeing that no one spoke for a moment, Dala Bengba assumed that this "descender" was aware of the dangers on the ground.

It looked up timidly—

Far from being afraid, the man looked around with great interest.

He wasn't looking at the distant, faintly visible snow-capped mountain, nor at the perilous jungle, but at the flat, open land beneath their feet.

The terrain here is relatively flat, the soil looks very fertile, and there is a winding river not far away that can provide a stable source of fresh water.

...It's practically the dream city-building location for every infrastructure-building game!

"Not bad," Ren Yi suddenly said.

Klaus was taken aback. "What's good?"

"I said this place is good." He rubbed the soil on the ground with his toe. "It's suitable as our first base."

Klaus walked around the area for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"If you want to build a camp, it has to be a military fortress-level defensive structure."

Just right.

He already has enough evolution points to upgrade to Lv3; now he just needs more proficiency.

This time we can upgrade!

In despair, Dala Bengba turned her gaze to her last hope: Ivan and Aurora. She hoped these two—

One appears calm and reliable, the other gentle and kind – these are the 'Descendants'.

It can prevent arbitrary decisions.

Quick! Quickly persuade your leader! People are really dying on the ground!

Ivan noticed the pleading look from Dala Bengba and grinned comically with his sausage lips.

"Is there something big on the ground?"

He turned to look at Renyi, like a child eager to unwrap a gift.

"Isn't that even more interesting, boss!"

Aurora sensed its gaze. She lowered her eyes slightly, her pale fingers clasped together in front of her chest, making a gesture of prayer.

"Oh, the Lord will bless you."

Dala Bengba: "..."
