Chapter 12: Crew Increases, Fish Floods the Port
"Does anyone have any cold medicine? The sea breeze was so cold last night, and I woke up this morning with a fever. I feel weak all over."
"Haven't you noticed? The speed at which the Lost Fog advances has increased even more! Yesterday it was only 5 nautical knots, but today it's doubled! This is unbearable!"
"The 10-nautical-knot speed means I have to spend half of my time rowing every day, which greatly reduces my development time. Automated boats are so much better; they free up my hands, allowing me to collect resources while sailing!"
"Stop talking. The ship has already used up most of its fuel. My ship will soon be scrap metal."
......
Ye Fan glanced at the information on the regional channel and suddenly noticed a valuable point: the speed of the Lost Mist, which had been chasing the survivors since the beginning of the day, had increased from 5 knots to 10 knots.
The overall speed has doubled, which is faster than many ships.
Furthermore, you should know that it's not enough for your ship to be just a little faster than the Fog of the Lost. You must leave enough distance for you to salvage supplies, otherwise you'll be traveling all day without even a bite to eat.
I can't live like this!
Seeing the terrible situation on the channel, Ye Fan was glad that his Fisherman had a speed of 90 knots and did not need to consume any fuel. He could keep going as long as he knew the direction in his mind!
"Let's have breakfast first."
Ye Fan closed the regional channel, poured the fish soup from the iron pot into a wooden bowl, picked up the bowl and took a sip. He immediately felt refreshed. The soup was thick but not fishy, and tasted incredibly fresh and sweet!
This sensation rushed to his taste buds, allowing Ye Fan to breathe a long, comfortable sigh of relief.
It's undeniable that good ingredients don't need many cooking methods; they're delicious on their own.
After finishing all the fish soup in one go, Ye Fan ate the fish meat and then felt his blood and energy surging throughout his body, making him feel full of vitality.
It seemed as if my entire body had been comprehensively enhanced, and even my four dimensions were much clearer.
[Ding! Your physical fitness has improved, and your Extraordinary Points have accumulated to 3.]
【叶凡四维属性：力量18（8＋10），敏捷17（7＋10），精神19（9＋10），体质17（7＋10）】
[Qi and Blood Status: 100% (Healthy)]
......
Just as Ye Fan finished his fish soup, a data panel showing his improved attributes popped up in front of him. After looking at the improved panel, he was very happy, as all four attributes had been increased by 10 points!
Furthermore, his blood and energy levels reached their peak.
This is quite satisfactory.
"He only needs to eat two more treasure fish to reach the extraordinary level."
After silently noting this down in his mind, Ye Fan went to the deck. Before he got up, Wang Da and Wang Er had already started fishing. In other words, they had been fishing for a while.
Upon seeing Ye Fan approach, the two stopped what they were doing and spoke.
Good morning, Captain.
"The wool blanket was so warm last night, I wasn't cold at all."
No sooner had they finished speaking than they displayed their catch: nearly 1000 units of fish meat in an hour. This amount of fish meat immediately filled the entire deck of the Fisherman's Boat, looking like a small mountain.
It was absolutely spectacular.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Fan was shocked. Good heavens... he had only gotten up a few tens of minutes late, and there was already a pile of nearly 1000 units of fish meat here, which, if converted into fish, would amount to at least three or four hundred fish.
While other survivors are still desperately seeking a single sea fish, you're already struggling with an overabundance of sea fish.
However, Ye Fan had already planned what to do with these sea fish: to use them to recruit fishermen.
"I can recruit four more fishermen now, which will only cost 800 units of fish meat."
Without much thought, Ye Fan spent 800 units of fish meat to recruit four more fishermen. They were the same as always, with the same lines, which was quite commonplace.
Surprisingly, their names continued to be listed later in the list, and the four newly emerged fishermen were named Wang San, Wang Si, Wang Wu, and Wang Liu.
It's very convenient to remember.
With their addition, the number of fish I catch every day will reach an incredibly high level.
To be honest, Ye Fan is a little worried now... If there are too many anglers in the future, will they fish out all the fish in a certain sea area? That would be a bit of a problem.
"Newcomers, please use regular fishing rods for now. If conditions permit in the future, I will provide you with standardized rods."
Ye Fan used the remaining fish meat to exchange for four beginner fishing rods and some ordinary-grade bait at the trading house. These fishing rods were only suitable for beginners and would break after a while, but fortunately, he had plenty of food on hand and could replace them with new ones at any time.
In this way, there will be absolutely no downtime!
"You're too kind, Captain."
"We are already very grateful that you could find a way to help us catch fish."
"Everyone, let's start fishing! We need to catch at least a hundred fish today!"
.....
The new anglers quickly got to work, displaying great enthusiasm and showing no signs of procrastination or slacking off.
Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel gratified. These guys were all born employees!
Not bad, really not bad.
Standing there, after watching the fishermen work for a while, Ye Fan picked up a sea fish and teased it. Little White on the deck, its daily job is to watch the sea fish and prevent them from jumping out, which is also a very important part.
Just then, Jia Na, who had just been sent out by Ye Fan to search for supplies, returned. Using water magic, she gracefully returned to the deck.
"Captain, Jana has found a deep-sea treasure chest 10 nautical miles ahead."
"But there are a few ghost sharks lurking around the treasure chest. Should we go over there?"
Jia Na reported what she had seen and heard. As soon as she mentioned the term "deep-sea treasure chest," Ye Fan's eyes immediately lit up with interest. To be honest, probably no one could resist the temptation of a treasure chest.
Moreover, 10 nautical miles is not far, and I can get there quickly, but I need to find out how strong Ghost Shark is.
"Jiana, how strong are those ghost sharks?"
"Ghost Shark isn't as good as Jana; I can handle it by myself."
Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded. Since Jia Na could handle that group of ghost sharks, then he could go and take a look. If he was lucky, he could get the deep-sea treasure chest!
