Ocean Survival: Taming the Mermaid at the Beginning

【Today's sign-in task: put your feet in the sea water for 3 minutes, you can complete the sign-in, and you will get 350 experience points. ]

Soak your feet in sea water for 3 minutes!

This is simple!

But, only experience, no random treasure chests?

Ye Kai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that the random treasure chests for daily check-in tasks are not always available.

Forget it, complete the mission first and collect enough experience to upgrade the ship.

Arriving at the raft, Ye Kai put his feet into the sea water.

Within tens of meters below the sea surface, everything was normal and there were no dangerous species. Ye Kai could clearly sense this.

Three minutes, it'll be here soon

【The check-in task was completed today and 350 experience points were obtained. 】

Sign in completed!

Including the 300 experience points from yesterday, Ye Kai now has 650 experience points.

If you're lucky, you should be able to get enough experience to upgrade your ship tomorrow.

The time for material refresh is coming soon.

Ye Kai picked up the plastic hook.

So far, his main supplies no longer rely on hooking barrels.

But no one can have too much of supplies.

Ye Kai is now in the stage of primitive capital accumulation, and he doesn't want to let go of any of it.

Soon, scattered wooden barrels appeared on the sea surface.

Ye Kai skillfully swung the plastic hook and pulled the barrels back one by one.

In five minutes, a total of twelve barrels were hooked!

After gaining affinity with the water element, his physical qualities such as speed, strength, flexibility, and perception have been greatly improved.

Now I am much more skilled at hooking up wooden barrels.

It’s just that the rope of the hook is only three meters, which is really short. if not.

The number of barrels you can hook can be doubled!

"How about upgrading this plastic hook first?"

Ye Kai selected [Upgrade] on the plastic hook.

Two options popped up.

【Upgraded to 10m iron hook】

【Materials required: screws x4, scrap iron x1, rope x1】

【Required experience: 100 points】

【Upgraded to 20m hook launcher】

【Materials required: wood x20, screws x8, scrap iron x2, rope x2】

【Experience required: 300 points]

Whether it is a 10-meter iron hook or a 20-meter hook launcher, it can greatly increase the efficiency of collecting materials.

Materials are not a problem for Ye Kai, he still has plenty of materials on hand.

However, it requires too much experience...

After thinking about it, Ye Kai temporarily gave up the idea of upgrading the hook.

Just slow down the speed of picking up supplies.

Anyway, he doesn't mainly rely on collecting supplies to accumulate materials now.

Upgrade the raft to a boat first, that's the most important thing!

Take out the epic fishing rod without bait.

Ye Kai opened the trading platform while fishing.

He wanted to see how the food deals that were hung up yesterday were going

【Obtain wood X30】

【Get Plastic X30】

【Get screws X30】

【Obtain metal piece X10】

【Obtain Scrap Iron X5】

【Get glass X5】

【Get Excellent Grade Fine Iron X5】

Excellent Grade Fine Iron?

Ye Kai opened his eyes wide.

Are there grades for basic materials?

Ye Kai took out the refined iron obtained from the transaction.

From the outside, it looks no different from ordinary scrap metal.

But this refined iron exudes a faint green fluorescence.

It is indeed a performance unique to excellent items.

"The person who did this transaction must be a fool, right?"

Excellent-level items were exchanged for a grilled fish!

But even a fool knows that there is an obvious gap between the two!

Unless... except for him, no one else can see the level of the basic materials!

Ye Kai After recalling it, he quickly confirmed this conjecture.

In his previous life, he had never seen graded basic materials.

The only things that could show the grade of an item were synthetic items or various drawings in nature. The materials all look the same and there is no hierarchy.

This was the consensus of all survivors in Ye Kai's previous life, but now it seems that this consensus is not accurate.

It's hierarchical, but no one else can see it.

"But I can see it!"

"Could this be the extra ability I gained after activating the system?"

Ye Kai's eyes suddenly lit up.

If his guess is correct, it means that those materials that others think are ordinary are likely to be exquisite, epic or even legendary. Treasures!

In other words,

Ye Kai can take advantage of his ability to see all item levels and trade a large number of precious materials.

In this way, he can accumulate an unparalleled advantage in the early stages of this ocean age. Stay ahead!

"Take a quick look to see if there is anything good in the private message."

Without saying anything, Ye Kai opened the private chat mailbox.

Although the permissions have been set, there are still a lot of letters in it.

In each letter, there are items that the sender can take out, and also marked with what he wants. The items to be exchanged.

As long as Ye Kai agreed and put the items requested by the other party, the transaction would be automatically completed.

Ye Kai browsed most of the letters and found that the exchange materials were more expensive than he expected. Worse

"It’s all junk news, can’t there be something useful?"

"Huh?"

"This, this is……"
