Chapter 2: Chapter 2 First Kill of a Transcendent Creature
She quickly untied the ropes from the plank and drove a nail deep into another board, creating a second wooden weapon in the same manner.
Having done all this, the Deep Blue Devil Fish seemed to have regained some strength, and with a flip, it overturned Chen Qing's raft.
Chen Qing was prepared for this, and the moment she fell into the water, she raised the plank with nails and slammed it hard onto the body of the Deep Blue Devil Fish.
The Devil Fish emitted a high-pitched scream and immediately released its electricity, jolting the somewhat drowsy Chen Qing from the poison and temperature back to alertness.
The wooden plank almost slipped from her hand, but she quickly gripped it firmly and scraped hard with the plank, scraping off a couple of ounces of meat from the Deep Blue Devil Fish.
The nails carried a tetanus buff, and the rust penetrated deep into the flesh, making the Devil Fish suffer greatly.
Chen Qing withstood the attack of the poison and electricity, the nails on the wooden plank gripping the Devil Fish tightly as she alternated attacks with both planks.
The Devil Fish's body was marked with scars, and streaks of blood blended into the sea.
Now it was a contest of endurance, to see who could last longer.
Clearly, the Devil Fish did not possess as strong a will as Chen Qing, and soon, Chen Qing heard a notification sound.
[Survivor Chen Qing has killed a Grade G creature, Deep Blue Devil Fish, and has received 0.2 points.]
[Survivor's first kill of a Grade G creature, reward of 1 point.]
[Survivor is the first in the game to kill a Grade G creature, awarded a Grade C Decomposition Skill.]
The dead Deep Blue Devil Fish sank toward the deep sea, and an exhausted Chen Qing mustered her energy to wrap the devil fish in the damaged fishing net and quickly surfaced.
Above the water was just a bare raft, and Chen Qing no longer needed to flip over the boards; she laboriously dragged the fishing net and climbed onto the raft.
The Devil Fish in the water was extremely heavy, causing the raft to sink when it clung to it.
Chen Qing swiftly opened the panel and scrolled to the section for adding points to her Extraordinary Ability.
Having killed a Grade G Devil Fish, she had only obtained 0.2 points, but fortunately, the first kill had been rewarded with 1 point.
Adding points was divided into adding Attributes and adding Evolution directions.
Chen Qing had 1.2 points, enough to evolve the raft.
Opening the raft's evolution tab, the next direction for the raft's evolution was a basic boat, with over ten different possibilities for evolution.
Awning boats, single-sailed wooden boats, straw boats, skin boats...
The required points to spend ranged from 1 to 2 points.
After a moment of consideration, Chen Qing chose the awning boat, which only required 1 point to obtain.
Although the boat was not very sturdy, it at least provided a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
The moment she clicked confirm, the points turned into a bright light that enveloped the whole raft; the raft twisted and stretched, instantly transforming into a small awning boat.
The awning boat was long and narrow, with a low canopy, over 5 meters long and 2 meters wide.
A layer of straw mats covered the boat's floor, with two sets of oars placed on it.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
[Awning Boat (Unnamed)
Quality: White
Rating: None
Introduction: A small boat that provides shelter from the wind and rain.
Evaluation: Unremarkable]
With the remaining 0.2 points, Chen Qing spent 0.1 on the fishing net to evolve the broken fishing net into an intact one.
After fixing the holes in the net, Chen Qing used the Decomposition Skill on the Devil Fish.
[Skill. Decomposition (Grade C): Can instantly decompose objects of Grade C and below with a decomposition rate of 50% for Grade C objects, 80% for Grade D objects, and perfect for Grade E and below.]
The Devil Fish instantly turned into a pile of meat chunks, fish bones, and various internal organs within the fishing net.
Chen Qing held the fishing net with one hand and used the nail rake to hook the fish meat, lifting the chunks of fish meat one by one.
The Devil Fish was heavier than Chen Qing, but she did not have to exert much effort to lift all of the fish meat onto the raft.
The deck was piled with fish meat and innards, and Chen Qing glanced at it before diving back into the water.
It took her quite a while to emerge from the water, clutching a large handful of nails.
Chen Qing was soaking wet, with droplets falling off her body onto the deck.
Without taking much rest, she sat on the deck and got to work.
She unraveled the ropes into strands and then twisted them together with the fishing net and captive nails, binding them tightly.
The fishing net was full of large and small chunks of innards that should attract other marine creatures.
Chen Qing didn't hesitate and quickly threw the fishing net into the sea.
After completing all this, Chen Qing could finally take a moment to breathe.
But she didn't really idle, instead, she continued to make weapons that suited her needs.
With limited materials at this stage, she could only arm wooden planks with nails.
On the lonely ocean, Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the deck, concentrating on the task at hand.
After making her weapons, she still had to deal with the fish meat and figure out how to start a fire...
At this thought, Chen Qing paused in her movements, but she didn't stop.
She reopened the chat channel where most of the people were still incessantly complaining.
"Why do survival novels have a crafting panel? This crappy game doesn't have one."
"Maybe because this is reality?"
"No, is there nothing in this crappy sea except for planks, ropes, and leaves?!"
"Be glad you have that much, my fishing net broke immediately, it's unusable."
All the survivors started with fishing nets that were torn and tattered, and they would break after just a few uses.
Seeing this message, Chen Qing stared for a while, then put down what she was doing and shared her experience of mending fishing nets.
It wasn't so much experience as it was just a method she knew.
The ropes could be taken apart into threads, and with these threads, the fishing net could be mended simply.
At least it could be repaired to a usable state.
The creatures in the sea weren't small; as long as you could trap them, that was enough.
"Holy crap, isn't that the Great Person from before!!"
"I didn't mean to curse at you; I'm really complimenting you; you're too kind!!"
"Really? Can you mend a fishing net like this?"
"Believe it or not, I'm already following this sister's instructions and mending mine."
"Fools are still questioning, while the smart ones have already started working."
What was once a chat channel full of complaints became a bit more cheerful because of Chen Qing's message.
Chen Qing didn't stay long on the chat channel, instead, she opened the trading panel.
Perhaps because the game had just started, there weren't many items on the trading panel, just monotonous planks, ropes, and leaves.
Even nails were scarce.
Chen Qing pondered for a moment, then posted a purchase message on the trading panel.
[Chen Qing: Trading Deep Blue Devil Fish meat and blood for various resources, except wood planks, ropes, leaves, or nails.]
Her temperament was good, but she wasn't a fool either.
The game only gave them four days to develop, and she had to use everything at her disposal to build her strengths.
The Deep Blue Devil Fish was her biggest chip; she had to maximize her benefits.
Fish bones, meat, and some leftover innards were sorted by Chen Qing and placed aside, with the blood contained in a makeshift bowl made of rope and leaves.
As a G+ rated marine creature, the most valuable parts of the Deep Blue Devil Fish's body were the poison sack and electric sac, containing toxins and electricity.
