Started with a broken ship, I became king by fishing for treasure chests

Chapter 54 Contracted Sea Beast
At [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, the second phased reward settlement will begin.

In other words, today's whole day is a rare leisure for players.

Jiang Ning was forced by Jiang Lai to rest in the room.

Jiang Lai was sitting in front of the newly repaired gate, fishing for the treasure box.

By the way, open the chat channel and read the messages.

Yesterday, she heard the system saying that there were too many casualties within 5 minutes, so she immediately took a look at the number of survivors.

That number made Jiang Lai's heart sink. Nearly 3000 people died last night.

For players at this stage, the behemoth of the deep sea is not a mini-BOSS at all, but a life-threatening ghost and a living king of hell in the deep sea.

In the channel, the players rarely cried out in lamentation.

The original hope for survival was gone after seeing those behemoths.

Can my tiny body really defeat such a terrifying big guy?

All players have a question mark in their hearts.

The dead can no longer speak.

And the surviving players are not having a good time now either.

Some were seriously injured and have yet to recover.

Some residences were severely damaged and there were no supplies to repair them.

There are also people who are mentally shocked and mentally disturbed.

Jiang Lai looked at it for a while and then stopped paying attention.

Open the forum again and see if there is any useful new information in the forum.

After watching for a while, Jiang Lai felt that there were still many players who had serious business in mind. They opened various posts to discuss this sea monster craze.

One of the posts asked everyone what type of sea monster the BOSS they encountered last night was. It had the highest traffic and was ranked at the top.

Jiang Lai clicked on it and looked at the replies from the players one by one.

Some replies said it was a shark with three heads, another said it was a sea turtle with horns on its head, and another said it was a crab waving its large pincers...

There are all kinds of strange sea beasts.

However, Jiang Lai carefully read everyone's descriptions and found that although the sea monster bosses everyone encountered were larger than ordinary sea monsters, they were not like the octopus that Dacheng saw last night.

Jiang Lai had some doubts in her heart, so she sent a message to the small group of three people.

Ask Chang Fa and Qi Jingxing what kind of sea beast they encountered.

What Chang Fa encountered was a tusked walrus, and what Qi Jingxing encountered was a mollusk covered in venomous spines.

Jiang Lai asked carefully about the size of the sea beast, and found that it was larger than the one the player encountered in the post, and much smaller than the octopus he encountered last night.

Now Jiang Lai was completely confirmed.

From the first night to the last night, I faced the most difficult sea monster crisis.

"System, tell the truth, you are really targeting me, right?"

The evidence was found, and Jiang Lai had a showdown with the system.

Although it was useless, Jiang Lai felt that the breath he was holding in his heart had to be let out.

[It is currently known that the player's residence is of the highest level, and higher-level residences will attract more and more powerful sea beasts. 】

The system finally gave an answer.

"Didn't you say before that sea beasts are judged based on the player's scent? You didn't say it had anything to do with the level of residence!"

Jiang Lai's mentality collapsed. You must know that before the sea monster craze, she quickly rushed to raise the level of her residence to level five by smashing the pot and selling iron.

When it comes to relationships, I try every possible means to make it more difficult for myself.The system did not answer Jiang Lai's question and started pretending to be dead.

Jiang Lai also knew that he had no way to trick the system, so he could only calm down and think about what to do next.

It is now known that higher-level residences will encounter greater dangers.

But it was impossible for her to stop.

On the contrary, Jiang Lai wanted to upgrade as quickly as possible. She wanted to see what changes would happen to the system's residence after it reached the sixth level cutoff point.

Soon, Jiang Lai caught all three treasure boxes today.

Two silver treasure chests and one bronze treasure chest.

I got Silver*50, Bronze*100, Seasoning Set*1, Winter Melon*1, and Potato Chips*10.

Finally, the seasoning was released, and it was a seasoning set. Jiang Lai almost cried with joy.

God knows how long she had missed these spices.

Just when Jiang Lai was sorting out today's harvest, news came from the small group.

Chang Fa: "Did you see it? Someone on the channel said that he got a sea monster cub and successfully signed a contract! I'm so sad!"

Qi Jingxing: "I saw it, it's really good luck."

Jiang Lai was busy opening the treasure box and didn't see it, so he looked through the chat history again.

It turns out that the BOSS a player encountered yesterday was a female beast that was about to give birth.

I don’t know what happened, but this female beast was giving birth to a child, so she was summoned to work as a part-time BOSS.

But obviously, childbirth is a big event, and during those 15 minutes, the female is busy laying eggs.

Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, the player boldly let the raft get close to the mother beast and picked up two eggs.

When the 15 minutes are up, the mother carries the eggs and sinks into the ocean.

The two eggs picked up by the player were left on the raft.

And that night, a little beast crawled out of one of the eggs and successfully made a contract with the player.

According to the player, he also succeeded in making the contract by accident.

Later, after asking the system, I found out that only sea beasts that have never seen the same kind before they are born will regard the first person they see as their mother, so they can make a contract so easily.

Once a sea beast grows up and has its own consciousness, it must be willingly obeyed before it can be contracted.

It is more difficult to make sea beasts that are naturally hostile to humans surrender than to kill them.

Chang Fa: "The sea monster bosses we encountered yesterday were all extremely strong. Our players couldn't even hurt their fur. It's good to be lucky enough to survive. This big brother actually caught a cub. How awesome."

Qi Jingxing: "Even if the eggs of sea beasts hatch, can they still survive on a raft if they are not in the water?"

Chang Fa: "Maybe it's amphibious. I heard it looks like a soft, four-legged thing like a salamander."

Qi Jingxing: "Salamander? Don't they live in fresh water?"

Chang Fa: "Brother, we are all in this situation now. The sharks have three heads, the jellyfish have come ashore, and the fish have legs. Don't take it so seriously, okay? Obviously the creatures in this game are different from our reality. The logic is different.”

Jiang Lai felt that what Chang Fa said made sense, as it was different from reality in this survival game.

What is hidden under this ocean must be beyond human understanding.

So since it is beyond cognition...

Jiang Lai has a bold idea.

She found the player who contracted the sea beast and sent a private message.

"Hello, I would like to ask, what's going on with the other egg now?"
