First time killing someone, Yang Yi didn’t feel much psychological burden.Maybe it was because of his high Spirit and high Endurance.He changed into the pirate outfit and headed toward the cabin of the Pirate Ship.【This outfit feels chilly. Sanity -5】As for the continuous sanity-draining debuff — with Yang Yi’s high Spirit, he could simply ignore it.Upon entering the cabin, he immediately gained the ship’s information.It was a special-type vessel.【Pirate Ship · Level 1】Durability: 1000/1000Capacity: 800 unitsSpeed: 45 knotsHull Skills:Extra Grappling Hooks: Two on each side of the ship. Can seize objects or latch onto other vessels.Pirate Raid: Increases sailing speed by 25% for 15 minutes.Description:The skull flag is the soul of this ship. Strive to become the Pirate King!Yang Yi tried to see if he could change ships, but after searching the log for a while, he found no such function.It seemed ships could not be swapped.Not that he wanted to — this ship was quite good.Those four additional grappling hooks, once mastered, could greatly improve his resource-gathering efficiency.But it still couldn’t compare to the Nightmare.Having nightmares that grant premonitions — that’s far rarer than grappling hooks!Yang Yi searched through every room in the cabin and unexpectedly found a woman’s corpse.She was completely naked, apparently tortured before death — one plump thigh missing, a deep ligature mark around her neck.The blood was still fresh — she’d likely died not long ago.That meant Yang Yi was the second victim.The first one… was already dead.【You start wondering where that missing thigh went. Sanity -2】Yang Yi frowned.The previous owner’s sanity must have been even lower than he’d imagined — utterly unstable.He began checking the supplies he’d found:two pieces of hard black bread (enough calories for two days),5 liters of fresh water,125 units of wood,and 98 units of cloth.【System Notice】【You have successfully occupied an ownerless ship. You may choose to dismantle it; all materials will be transferred to your own cargo hold.】【Before dismantling, ensure your ship has enough capacity — any excess materials will sink into the sea.】【Dismantling this ship will yield: Wood ×100, Cloth ×50, and 1 Pirate Ship Blueprint. Only dismantling special ships yields blueprints.】【Each ship can only be modified once using a blueprint. Choose carefully!】【This message will only appear upon first occupation.】No wonder there was so much wood — the previous owner must have already dismantled a normal ship.Yang Yi checked his own ship, the Nightmare:Capacity: 400 unitsCurrently used: 25/400Current inventory:Wood ×14Cloth ×10Fresh water ×1L (less than 1L counts as 1L)Only resources occupy cargo space. Other items, like weapons and equipment, were auto-stored — even throwing them on deck didn’t matter.Would excess weight cause overloading later?He’d have to test that later.After a quick calculation, Yang Yi realized dismantling the Pirate Ship would fit perfectly in his hold, and the materials would be enough to upgrade his ship to Level 2 — a huge windfall.After confirming there was nothing else of value, he returned to the Nightmare, now carrying over a dozen crude arrows.He operated through the log and confirmed the dismantling.At once, the Pirate Ship disintegrated before his eyes into fragments that poured into the Nightmare’s hold.Now he had enough resources to upgrade to a Level-2 ship.But before doing that, there was something even more urgent — buying medical supplies through the trading system.If he upgraded first and lacked resources for medicine, he’d be doomed.Yang # Nоvеlight # Yi immediately opened the chat channel.“Selling First-Aid Bandages, 10 Conch-Coins each, 5 left!”【Item: First-Aid Bandage】Type: ConsumableQuality: CommonDescription: Clean bandages that stop bleeding and prevent infection.“Rum! Works for disinfection too, 30 Conch-Coins a bottle — only one left!”“Selling balloons. You know what they’re for…”Yang Yi skimmed quickly.Since the trade system had just opened, everyone had limited Conch-Coins, so prices were arbitrary.Most preferred barter, some even refused coins entirely, trusting goods more.Few people were selling materials — wood and cloth were currently the hard currency, more valuable than Conch-Coins.“Selling salt! 100 Conch-Coins a pack!”【Item: Holy Salt】Type: ConsumableQuality: FineDescription: Removes minor curses, wards off evil when sprinkled… or you can eat it.Not bad, but not what he needed.Scrolling further, he finally spotted the perfect listing — High Quality.“Limited-time sale: Holy Water. DM if interested.”【Item: Holy Water】Type: ConsumableQuality: SuperiorDescription: Blessed pure water — can be drunk, applied, or thrown. Especially effective against abominations.Heals many poisons and curses, speeds wound recovery, and slightly restores stamina.That’s it!Yang Yi checked what he could offer:Wail of the Drowned (a rare cursed charm)Pirate LongbowRusted FlintlockBloodstained Pirate ClothesBarnacle-covered Fishing RodPirate Ship BlueprintVarious resources500 Conch-CoinsIdeally, he wanted to keep his weapons, outfit, fishing rod, and the upgrade materials.The blueprint could be traded — but it was probably extremely valuable, not something to sell now.After a brief thought, Yang Yi messaged the seller privately.(Players remained anonymous before adding each other; they could choose to display real names or ship names.)Yang Yi: “How much for the Holy Water?”A minute later, the reply came — the seller was clearly busy with many buyers.Anonymous: “I need lots of cloth, plus life-saving items, gear, fresh water, or food.”Yang Yi frowned.He didn’t have the upper hand — if he offered too little, he’d be ignored; too much, and he’d lose big.But his life was hanging by a thread — there was no time to haggle.He immediately offered his best deal.Yang Yi:“Wail of the Drowned. Check its stats — a rare life-saving charm.Also offering 400 Conch-Coins, 30 wood, 58 cloth, 1 black bread, and 4L of fresh water.”He attached the item details for Wail of the Drowned.After sending, he waited.This time, the response came quickly — within seconds.“Are your injuries serious?”Yang Yi’s brow furrowed.She’d probably realized how desperate he was, from how high his offer was.If she tried to raise the price, he’d just find another seller — there had to be others with Holy Water.Fortunately, she didn’t. Instead, he received a friend request:【Captain Zhou Dai of Radiant Goddess requests to add you as a friend.】Yang Yi accepted. Immediately, several messages arrived:“Your offer’s fair — everyone else was just wasting my time! I’ll sell to you.You’re probably badly hurt; one bottle won’t be enough, so I’ll give you two, consider it a gift!My ship can produce Holy Water — we can trade long-term, hehe!May the Light bless you!”Reading that, Yang Yi was stunned.He hadn’t expected the deal to go this smoothly.It seemed the seller also needed Wail of the Drowned, a charm that protected against sea demons — and she wasn’t some price-gouging vulture.In fact… she seemed kind-hearted?Meanwhile, aboard the Radiant Goddess.A pure-white three-masted ship made of sturdy white oak — sacred and gleaming.Captain Zhou Dai had golden hair, blue eyes, and a tall, curvaceous figure — yet her features were delicately Asian, likely mixed-race.She stood inside the ship’s unique structure — the Chamber of Prayer, housing a statue of the Goddess of Light.For now, her ship was only Level 1, and the chamber could only produce Holy Water.But Zhou Dai had a serious problem…Every night, the Radiant Goddess was visited by vengeful spirits of the sea.She had no choice but to hide inside the prayer room until morning.So for her, charms like Wail of the Drowned were priceless — the more, the better.As long as she had just enough time to retreat into the prayer room, she would be safe…
