Chapter 124 Encrypted Call (Third Update)
Yu thought his guess was wrong, and that he couldn't communicate with the administrator. He was about to select "agree" to quickly earn progress in advancing his title.
Finally, a voice reached my ears.
[Phew~ Encrypted chat channels are really tough to manage!]
"Should we postpone it for two days? No problem! That guy in second place, even if he's a saint, he definitely won't catch up in less than a week, don't worry!"
Communication is indeed possible! And the amount of information transmitted is quite substantial!
It turns out that the person following closely behind him was the "saint" who had become the spokesperson of the supreme God among mankind?
Yu Wang wanted to take the opportunity to ask a few more questions, but then he heard a soft "snap" sound, as if a phone call had been disconnected, the connection was cleanly cut off, and the world returned to silence.
It seems that starting an encrypted call carries significant risks; there's not even enough time to say a few more words.
Although it was only a one-way notification, the objective has been achieved.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Yu Wang's lips.
It's okay. He knows the administrator can be communicated with, and as an important "source of revenue" for the other party, he does enjoy some special privileges. For example, the other party is willing to take risks to establish encrypted calls, etc.
Zhang Xinlan was overjoyed to see the little yellow duck level up and waited eagerly for a long time, but she didn't hear the server-wide announcement. She looked at Yu Wang in confusion.
Her eyes were filled with shock, conveying the message:
Are there survivors even faster than them?!
Yu Wang explained, "The announcement has been postponed for now. We need to hurry to Snail Shell City in the Thousand Sails Bay area. At the speed of the upgraded Little Yellow Duck, two days should be enough."
97
"I'm going to rest first. The remaining food that hasn't been put on the shelves will be stored in the cabin for now, and will be released to the market after the migration season when food is scarce."
Nowadays, people don't lack food much; if they're hungry, they can just catch a net full of fish and survive.
The most common reason for panic buying food is simply to change up one's diet.
If we wait until after the migration season, when food becomes scarce, those who have insufficient reserves will need food to survive.
Only then can these acquired resources be put to their full potential.
Anyway, there are plenty of compartments in the ship after the upgrade, and the food won't spoil if I put it in there, so I'll just stock up for a few more days.
Zhang Xinlan nodded in agreement and ran off to continue her work.
Yu Wang then turned around, with a hint of anticipation, and officially stepped into the upgraded "Little Yellow Duck".
The space behind the door opened up dramatically, a far cry from the cramped cockpit he remembered from the early days of the game, where he could only crouch down.
A straight corridor, wide enough for two people to walk side by side, extends forward to the closed doors of the "Captain's Lounge".
The beginnings of functional zoning have emerged on both sides. On the left side, near the bow, living support modules such as a "garbage recycling station," "daily duck eggs," and "intermediate seawater desalination unit" are concentrated, and the noise from the machines is effectively isolated.
On the left side, a square vacant area of about ten square meters is quite eye-catching, with pre-installed marks on the ground and walls.
This is clearly the location of the planned expansion module of "Duck Duck Staff Dormitory".
However, the corresponding building is not yet completed, and currently it is temporarily filled with some miscellaneous items that need to be accessed at any time, such as "blood coral suits", "portable high-pressure oxygen cylinders", and diving watches.
The processing area is on the right.
It contains a Level 2 potion station, a Level 2 workbench, and a Level 1 forging station that was moved from the Ghost Pirate Ship.
Some items require a forging table to craft, and it can also be used to refine basic materials.
However, he has not yet come into contact with the corresponding props, and given the limited space in the cabin, he has been kept on the "Ghost Pirate".
Now that there's plenty of space, Zhang Xinlan moved in on her own initiative.
Looking at these three "cores of productivity" side by side, Yu Wang felt at ease: "Now I lack nothing!"
The basic material conversion, medicine preparation, and equipment manufacturing chain are now initially complete. In the future, it will be sufficient to upgrade these production facilities as strength increases and the levels of contact change.
Then, his gaze fell on the driver's seat.
It has now been transformed into a separate cockpit with curved observation windows, fixed seats, and multiple control panels.
The window is positioned in the middle of the "Little Yellow Duck's" neck, offering a wide view.
Looking around, Yu Wang discovered that the "shrine platform" was gone.
He walked down the corridor and found the internal staircase leading to the second floor at the entrance of the "Captain's Lounge".
Upon ascending to the second floor, one finds a "sunroom" with large glass windows, radiating abundant natural light.
In the corner where the sunlight is strongest every day, the little figurine sits there peacefully, its surface seemingly glowing with a comfortable warm light, looking relaxed and content.
Yu Wang smiled, stepped forward, and respectfully placed three or four bags of carefully selected potato chips and jelly on the altar as his daily "protection fee".
I'll need to take good care of the little figurines tonight.
After doing all that, the intense weariness finally became unbearable. He returned to the captain's lounge, which had doubled in size, collapsed onto the bed, and fell asleep almost instantly.
He had to seize every minute to replenish his strength, as no one knew how large the "Deep Divers" who came to "visit" tonight would be.
Yu Wang used the phrase "Is the duck crazy? It can fly!" and flew over the flower belt of the Bone-Eating Flower with the Ghost Pirate Ship.
There were no obstacles ahead at all.
The Class 4 Little Yellow Duck cruised at full speed, 2.2 times its base speed, or 44 knots, creating a straight and deep white wave on the sea.
Whenever the "Turbo Duck" active skill is off cooldown, the engine will roar even more violently, the two duck legs will swing so fast that they leave afterimages, and the speed will increase to 5 times the base speed!
The ship's speed instantly soared to 100 knots!
The entire ship seemed to break free from the shackles of the sea, briefly transforming into a streak of yellow light skimming across the surface of the sea, quickly leaving everything around it behind!

As the level has been upgraded, those razorback mackerel that used to be a headache are now like scratching an itch in front of the upgraded ship's hull, which is comparable to special alloy. At most, they will leave a few minor scratches and the durability value will only change after half a day.
The Little Yellow Duck is like a steel behemoth that crashes into a school of fish, smashing them into mincemeat wherever it goes.
In contrast, the escorting "Ghost Pirate" seemed to be struggling.
Although it has been enhanced and is currently one of the few Tier 3 ships among the survivors, its material is ultimately inferior to the Little Yellow Duck, which has undergone a complete transformation.
The constant water currents from high-speed travel, coupled with the occasional scrapes from razorback mackerel that it couldn't completely avoid, caused its durability to decrease at an even faster rate.
Zhang Xinlan estimated that to maintain this speed and basic protection, the Ghost Pirate would need to consume an additional 200 units of wood per day for repairs.
"The gap has widened," Zhang Xinlan sighed inwardly, but her tone didn't carry much frustration; instead, it was filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction.
After all, the two ships are now one entity, and the stronger the Little Yellow Duck is, the greater the team's survival ability and exploration resources will be.
She was quite frustrated because she hadn't received a server-wide notification after her "Little Yellow Duck" account was upgraded. Fortunately, Yu Wang explained that it would be delayed for a while, otherwise she would have been so upset that she would have eaten less of the dinner made by Chef Duck tonight.
"Beep beep beep—!"
A piercing alarm suddenly blared in the cockpit, drowning out the roar of the engine and the sound of the waves.
Zhang Xinlan immediately put down the supplies she was handling and rushed into the cockpit.
On the screen of the underwater radar, an irregular shadow representing a super-large creature suddenly appeared in the surrounding environment scan. It was approaching the fleet from the deep sea below at a speed almost equal to that of the Little Yellow Duck!
Its target was the trail left on the sea by the Little Yellow Duck after its high-speed voyage, a trail made of the shattered remains of a razorfish and blood!
"It's caused by high-speed navigation and fish blood!" Zhang Xinlan instantly figured out the reason. Without any hesitation, she quickly turned off the turbo boost skill and let the "Little Yellow Duck" travel normally at a speed of 40 knots.
Then it changed course and quickly distanced itself from the trail of blood.
Even if the monster chasing the ship fails to brake and continues moving forward due to inertia, it will not encounter the Little Yellow Duck.
Hopefully, once no more scraps of flesh are produced, the unidentified creatures that have been attracted will leave on their own.
Fortunately, Yu Wang had already granted Zhang Xinlan control of the ship; otherwise, she would have had to endure the torture of being woken up right after falling asleep.
Unfortunately, on the radar screen, the huge shadow showed no sign of stopping or changing direction, continuing to slowly approach along that bloody trail.
At this moment, Zhang Xinlan had already walked out of the cockpit with her flintlock pistol and arrived at the stern of the Little Yellow Duck.
An abnormal bulge could be seen on the sea behind us, forming a huge, rapidly moving bulge with a diameter of over two thousand meters!
The seawater was violently pushed aside, and white foam and waves rolled in front of the bulge.
However, Zhang Xinlan narrowed her eyes. Her excellent eyesight allowed her to spot something golden embedded in the forehead of the unidentified creature.
It's a gold resource box!
