[Host: Li Yuan]

[Vessel: Medium-Small Double-Layer Plank Ship]

[Cabin: 1 (Crew Cabin)]

[Crew Number: 5 (Positions can be assigned, open to view details)]

[Ship Speed: Maximum 6 knots (open to view details)]

[Combat Power: 18 (can be viewed in crew information and weapon system)]

[Load Capacity: 447.8/3000 kg (open to view details)]

[Evolution Points: 5.3/500 units of wood, 0/100 kg of iron]

The new ship's design is much more imposing than before, with a length of eight meters and a width slightly over three meters. The bow and stern have been reinforced again, the planks are thick and heavy, and stability has been improved.

The appearance changes are secondary; the most important thing is the functionality!

The carrying capacity has tripled, reaching an astonishing three tons!

Additionally, the information now includes a "cabin" item. The old ship's cabin was built by Li Yuan himself, very rudimentary, similar to a canopy. But the new ship's cabin is like a small wooden house, about three meters long, slightly narrower than the ship's width, but at least two meters and twenty-three centimeters.

This is a place where people can actually live and store supplies!

Moreover, the ship's speed has doubled, reaching 6 knots.

Li Yuan quickly opened the ship speed submenu.

[Power Equipment 1: Oar *2]

[Power Equipment 2: Wooden Hand-Crank Propeller *4]

[Power System: Artificial Power]

[Ship Speed: Power Equipment 1: Speed cannot be calculated; Power Equipment 2: Maximum speed is 6 knots (1 knot = 1 nautical mile/hour = 1.852 km/hour) Actual speed depends on operator performance]

The hand-crank propellers have increased to four, but the ship's weight has also at least doubled, so the speed has only doubled.

Even so, Li Yuan is already very satisfied with the current maximum speed.

After checking this information, Li Yuan also discovered another significant change, which is the combat power, directly increasing from 5 to 18!

Opening the crew information, Li Yuan first noticed that Ashan's combat power had skyrocketed, from the original 0.5 to the current 3.5!

"Just now, the information panel asked me to check the crew information and... weapon system?!" Li Yuan only then realized that he had a weapon system!

However, he didn't seem to see any weapons on the ship.

"Open weapon system!"

In the weapon system, there was only one item.

[Weapon Name: Wooden Spike at the Bow Bottom]

[Combat Power: 10]

[Weapon Quantity: 1]

[Weapon Usage: Method 1, can raise the spike to ram when approaching the enemy. Method 2, can launch the spike through a launching device. (After launching, the spike can be retrieved or reloaded by consuming 1 wood. The firing range of the spike is 30 to 50 meters, effective only against wooden, non-reinforced ship bottoms, effective against G-grade sea mutant beasts)]

Li Yuan immediately adjusted his perspective and quickly found the wooden spike temporarily hidden at the ship's bottom. With a thought, the spike would pop out.

However, retracting it was a bit troublesome, requiring Avril and the others to turn the hand crank on the ship, activate the gears, and retract the spike.

"Raising it is easy, putting it down is a bit difficult..." Li Yuan's mind wandered, "So, if a real fight breaks out, I have to charge at the enemy with this thing?"

A strange image appeared in Li Yuan's mind, feeling somewhat odd.

"Forget it, whatever, at least now I'm a man with a stick, and hey, it has a combat power of 10!" Li Yuan was thrilled, equivalent to launching twenty Avrils at once! That's pretty terrifying!

Undoubtedly, this was another epic super evolution!

Now, with four people strolling back and forth on the ship, it didn't feel crowded at all. Everyone was excitedly looking around.

"Wow, Captain, you're amazing! I've never seen such exquisite craftsmanship, and it's so fast!"

"Absolutely stunning! With such a big ship, we can almost take on all the transport missions at the trade market!"

Li Yuan smiled calmly, "Stunned already? This is just the beginning. Stick with the captain, and we can become even stronger in the future!"

"Yes, Captain!" Avril, Terry, Tai Min, Tai Shan, and Rookie all stood at attention, their faces filled with hope.

...

From a small bamboo raft to now a giant... medium-small plank ship, Li Yuan felt a lot.

Although the current ship is still very basic, with an outdated power system and only an awkward stick as a weapon system, he has already evolved three times! From initially relying on scavenging for resources, to going to deserted islands, and now mingling in the trade market as a laborer, he has progressed rapidly.

The appearance of the new ship also made Li Yuan look forward to future ships even more!

"My current task is still to collect wood, the next level requires a fucking 500 wood, how much cargo is that!" Li Yuan thought to himself, "And next time, evolution requires iron, that's a first!"

"Right, there are other resources, like clay... the ship bottom still needs reinforcement, the previous clay is no longer usable."

"The cabin I made seems still usable, can let Aray and Rookie barely stay in it... Ah, the ship has grown, and the resources needed have also grown significantly."

"Looks like I'll have to mix in the trade market for a while before evolving."

It was getting late, the sea was calm, and Li Yuan planned to return in a few days. Otherwise, if others saw Avril's ship suddenly become like this the next day, it might be hard to accept.

By then, just say she switched ships.

Ashan's appetite had been huge recently, eating four or five times more than others in one meal. With the idea of developing combat power, everyone let her eat first.

During these two days of rest, Avril and the others caught more fish in this sea area for reserves.

That day, while everyone was busy fishing, Ashan shyly walked to the bow and said, "Captain, I... I want to go for a swim, is that okay?"

"Go ahead, we have nothing else to do now, just don't go too far and stay safe."

"Yes, Captain!"

Taking off her outer clothes, Ashan jumped into the water with a splash and disappeared underwater.

However, after more than ten minutes, Ashan still hadn't surfaced!

Everyone panicked, leaning on the side planks and calling out, "Ashan! Ashan!"

"She's fine, playing down there," Li Yuan said calmly, "She seems to be able to breathe underwater, probably grew gills."

"Grew gills... Ashan never told me that," Terry shook his head blankly.

If Li Yuan said it was fine, it was naturally fine. Everyone knew Li Yuan could see the situation in the sea.

About ten minutes later, a figure suddenly emerged from the water. Ashan came up, excitedly swimming to the ship's side, raising her right hand, "Look what I found!"

Everyone hurried over.

In Ashan's hand was a white pearl, slightly larger than those circulating in the market.

"A white pearl?!" Everyone exclaimed.

Avril quickly said, "Ashan, the sea bottom is too dangerous, don't go picking anymore! The pressure is too great, your body can't handle it."

Ashan smiled, "Sister Avril, I just happened to find this one, lucky me. I don't dare go too deep now."

"Oh, that's good," Avril sighed in relief.

White pearls come from the semi-buried animals inside clams and mussels in the ocean, but they're not easy to find, and the sea bottom is very dangerous, which is why they're valuable.

Unexpectedly, Ashan was so lucky to find one here.

Li Yuan, on the side, had his eyes wide open.

Getting it for free... this works too! Even though it's just one pearl, finding it makes it feel so satisfying!
