Chapter 44 Fear stems from insufficient firepower
Good guy!
It's an all-attribute boost!
This was something Su Jin never expected. He thought the Golden Sturgeon was good at speed, and at most had an acceleration attribute, but he never imagined that it would have such an amazing boost.
Add one point to each of the four attributes, for a total of four points—what a terrifying number!
Let alone adding one to all of them, even adding 0.5 to all of them would be outrageous!
He never expected this surprise, and because of this boost, his physique broke through 10 points, and he felt that his body had become stronger again.
He now feels immune to all diseases. If Tyson punches him, he can take it without flinching and even asks Tyson if the punch hurts when it hits his abs.
As for other aspects...
Su Jin glanced at Shen Ruying and Li Yuanyuan, who were dressed in light clothing, and revealed a contemptuous smile.
If these two women dare to challenge him in bed, he will make sure they can't get out of bed the next day and can only lie on their stomachs in the sun.
Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as he made it out to be, because others also ate the golden caviar and their physical condition improved as well.
However, the increase wasn't as dramatic as Su Jin's; it seemed that the improvement was determined based on each person's physical condition.
Like this little girl Shen Qiaoqiao, her four dimensions only increased by 0.5, which is not as exaggerated as Su Jin's.
Shen Ruying and Li Yuanyuan's increases were 0.7, but they still didn't reach the terrifying level of Su Jin.
It seems that once you reach the level of Tier 2 ingredients, it depends on each person's ability to absorb food.
But apart from Su Jin, none of the three really cared about how much their physical abilities had improved; they were all discussing the taste of the golden fish roe.
First, food blogger Li Yuanyuan commented:
"It's incredibly fresh, absolutely not fishy at all. It's the best fish roe I've ever had, bar none!"
Next came Shen Qiaoqiao's (the little foodie's) evaluation:
"I think it's sweet. I don't usually like to eat this stuff because it always has a bit of a fishy smell, but this isn't fishy at all and it's very sweet. It might taste even better if you added it to a cake."
Shen Ruying, this young woman, had eaten quite a lot and even offered suggestions for improvement.
"I think this should be processed a little, and then some lemon juice should be added to adjust the flavor; it might taste even better that way."
Of the three people's statements, Su Jin actually agreed more with Shen Ruying's.
Indeed, adding some lemon juice would make it taste better, but they don't have that option, do they?
Seeing that the three still wanted to discuss, Su Jin immediately raised his hand to stop them:
"Stop, I'm a little hungry. I was exhausted just now. Let's make the main course quickly."
He then began assigning tasks to the three of them.
"Qiaoqiao, go and build a small stove out of stones, then put the tortoise shell on it, and then make a barbecue grill. I want to roast wolf meat."
"Yuanyuan, could you please process that wolf meat and remove some of the tough tendons?"
"Ruying, go and open a few coconuts for everyone, and while you're at it, prepare some coconut water for the fish soup. We're having golden coconut fish soup tonight!"
But what is Su Jin himself going to do?
Of course, it's about becoming a lazy bum, leisurely leaning against the ship's side and drinking coconut juice.
He had just worked himself to the bone for so long, and finally it was time for him to rest.
Otherwise, no matter how good his physical condition is, even an ox would be exhausted.
The three girls were very obedient and each went to do their assigned tasks according to Su Jin's instructions.
Even after Shen Ruying finished her work, feeling that she couldn't help the other two, she still tried to help Su Jin by massaging his shoulders, showing unusual diligence.
The arrival of Li Yuanyuan made her feel threatened by her powerful talent as a spiritual chef.
It's not the kind of power struggle that happens in the imperial harem, but rather a process of talent elimination.
Useless people don't deserve to stay, and she's the kind of person who only knows how to talk big.
There was nothing she could do, because that was just her talent, which sometimes made her feel somewhat useless.
Therefore, she could only try to prove her usefulness elsewhere.
Recalling the scene of the two islands falling one after another, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
If they hadn't been on the ship, they would probably have become food for sea monsters.
She didn't know if she was thinking the wrong thing, but for some inexplicable reason, she unconsciously leaned forward a little while getting a massage.
Feeling a soft object press against his back, Su Jin raised an eyebrow and immediately perked up.
He narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
He neither stopped her nor said anything, but simply enjoyed the young woman's massage in silence, while his thoughts drifted far away.
Recalling the pathetic state of being chased to the deep sea by the coral crystal crab, Su Jin felt a sense of frustration.
If he had a way to kill the sea monster directly, he wouldn't need to resort to this method to rescue Li Yuanyuan.
The root of all this is a lack of strength!
arms!
He needs weapons!
A large weapon capable of killing sea monsters!
The fear stemmed from the lack of firepower; being submissive was not his style. If they continued to be powerless to resist, they would eventually perish in this ocean.
When it comes to large weapons, especially those at sea, the cannons from Pirates of the Caribbean are a prime example.
Gunpowder is one of mankind's greatest inventions, and firearms were the first and best option that Su Jin thought of.
Unfortunately, they are now extremely poor and cannot build artillery at all.
Not to mention gunpowder, even as for iron, the only iron he had was the harpoon that the system gave him at the beginning; the rest were all made of wood.
However, Su Jin was not single-minded and quickly thought of another type of large weapon.
Ballista!
Like artillery, it is also a cannon, because both rely on high-speed propulsion of the loaded material to achieve a devastating effect.
However, crossbows are cold weapons, and they are not as fast or powerful as cannons, but they have the advantage of being able to be made from wood.
Su Jin had an even better idea for this crossbow: to replace the ordinary crossbow bolts with the harpoon in his hand.
The harpoon ballista was originally a harpoon gun. By simply attaching a rope to the end of the harpoon, it became a weapon with reusable ammunition.
Besides not consuming ammunition, replacing ordinary wooden crossbow bolts with iron harpoons greatly increased their power.
Harpoons, as weapons with piercing properties, can effectively penetrate the sturdy defenses of sea monsters, directly causing damage to them.
Compared to ordinary wooden crossbow bolts, which can only cause minor superficial wounds to sea monsters, this one has a chance to kill them with a single shot!
He's a genius!
Of course, the harpoon ballista was not without its drawbacks. Its disadvantages were the opposite of its advantages, namely that the ammunition recovery process created a downtime.
This weakness can be quite fatal at times, but Su Jin's ship has excellent escape capabilities, so it's not entirely impossible to compensate for this.
The task of manufacturing the crossbow was naturally entrusted to Shen Qiaoqiao, the craftswoman. However, manufacturing such a large weapon was probably not that simple, as there were quite a few components involved.
Moreover, a ballista that can support a harpoon-sized bolt would be much larger than a regular ballista, and it would probably take a considerable amount of time to develop.
In addition to weapons, the ship's speed is still not fast enough, and it also needs certain life support facilities. These issues need to be considered in the long term...
Just as he was lost in thought, a rich aroma brought him back to his senses.
"Brother Su, the fish soup is almost ready, and the barbecue grill is set up. It's your turn to cook."
Of course, improving physical fitness is also an important part.
"Alright, let me show you my skills!"
Su Jin was very curious whether there was any difference between the meat of the White Wolf King and that of ordinary grassland gray wolves, and whether it could increase attributes like sea beasts.
