Another three days pass.Yang Yi activates the Crow's Nest to scan the surroundings, but once again comes up empty. There are no islands within a 1500-nautical-mile radius. He's no longer in a hurry to find an island to log for profit, though; the price of wood has already plummeted to 4 Conch Coins per unit. This afternoon, the Iron Brotherhood also escaped the Extreme Winter Region and is now buying up large quantities of steel and sulfur in the chat channel, likely preparing to upgrade the Iron Resolve to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Level 4.Yang Yi glances at the number of players still stranded in the Extreme Winter Region. The count has plummeted to just over a hundred thousand. If it's anything like the Stormy Sea, the region will probably start culling the stragglers soon.He finishes his workout, setting down the fake Broken Iron and checking his attribute experience. All of his stats have improved, especially Strength and Constitution. His Strength experience has reached 1932, and his Constitution is at 2849. The long hours of training are clearly paying off. For the past few days, he has done nothing but fish and train. The fishing has been good; the few fat fish he's caught have been sent to the witch's lab, while the rest have either been eaten or made into jerky."Time to do some shopping," he decides. With the vast majority of players having left the Extreme Winter Region, market prices, especially for food, have stabilized and become quite cheap. This is because the catch rate in this new sea is absurdly high. The influx of fish has caused meat prices to crash. As for black bread, its main ingredient, a type of seaweed caught in nets, has also become more plentiful.Speaking of which, his net today has yielded something new.[Name: Delicious and Juicy Seaweed][Description: Seaweed that is delicious no matter how it's eaten. Contains abundant juices and is sweet and tasty.]He pulls up the net and finds it covered in large, tender, juicy plants that look more like succulents than seaweed. A milky white sap drips from the torn sections. He gathers the seaweed, rolling it into a ball over a meter in diameter to take to the lab.Inside, Suna is still feeding the Long-legged Sardines, though the food has changed from the Delicious Mushroom to delicious fish meat, and soon, delicious seaweed. Their appetites have grown enormous, and their appearance has changed drastically. They are now fat, sausage-like things, their streamlined bodies having tripled in thickness. Their four legs are now stubby and round, and their scales have all fallen off, leaving their skin smooth and tender. As Suna explains it, they are transforming, becoming more delicious and easier to eat.She has divided their transformation into three stages.The first is the Addiction Stage. Upon first tasting the "delicious" food, they become captivated by its flavor, losing interest in anything else. In this stage, their bodies don't change much, but they gain numerous benefits, such as faster wound healing and improved vitality.After consuming a large amount of the food, they enter the second stage: the Fattening Stage. Their bodies swell up like balloons as they convert the rich nutrients into stored fat. They remain healthy and energetic, even stronger than before.Once they reach a certain level of fatness, they enter the third and final stage: the Assimilation Stage. They themselves begin to become delicious, shedding their scales and emitting an intoxicating aroma. The three sardines are currently in this stage. Suna plans to dissect one tonight.Yang Yi hands the ball of delicious seaweed to Suna just as she uses her witch's dagger to spear one of the fat sardines and lift it out of its tank. He then turns and leaves the lab; he's planning a trip to the edge of the Bountiful Sea to gather some intel.First, he needs to stock up. He buys all the basic materials needed for the Level 4 ship upgrade: Wood*5000, Cloth*2500, Stone*1000, Steel*500, Crystal*1500, and Sulfur*500. With wood at 4 coins a unit, the total cost comes to 87,500, nearly filling his warehouse. He has also asked Song Yingwen to look for information on the "constantly regenerating flesh and blood" needed for the upgrade.Next, he buys 200 Vitality Coconuts from Shen Guanquan for 300 coins each, a total of 60,000. Finally, he buys 5 kilograms of salt for 5,000 coins.When all is said and done, Yang Yi has 1,597,500 Conch Coins left in his account.
