Chapter 82 Becoming a Useful Person
"All attributes increased by one?"
Lin Xuan was stunned. She hadn't even had a chance to properly savor the indescribable deliciousness of the fish roe when it entered her mouth, and then the system voice rang out.
And it rang four times in a row, each time shocking her.
Then, she felt that her power seemed to have... become a little stronger?
The fatigue and weakness in my body quickly disappeared, my mind became much clearer, and even my breathing seemed to become much smoother.
This is not an illusion, but a wonderful experience of feeling one's body enhanced in every way!
"What is this?!" Lin Xuan's eyes widened instantly, and her hands holding the bowl trembled slightly.
She suddenly looked up at Su Jin, her tone extremely surprised:
"All attributes... all attributes increased by one?!"
Her initial attributes were judged by the system to be below the level of a normal person; her strength and physique were pitifully low, and her agility and spirit were only average.
There's nothing we can do; she's a college student, the kind who spends all her time in the lab, so running a kilometer is like taking her life.
These past few days, barely surviving on the island, have only worsened my physical condition.
But now, just one bite of fish roe has boosted all her basic attributes by a small margin, bringing her directly to a level close to that of a normal person!
Although it was only close, for her currently weak state, the feeling of improvement was like a wheat field receiving rain after a long drought, with immediate results!
The warm current was still working, not only making her feel weak, but also easing her hunger somewhat.
She even felt a bit...energetic?
"This...this is amazing!" Lin Xuan murmured, looking at the remaining fish roe in the bowl with the eyes of someone looking at some priceless treasure.
Seeing her shocked expression, Li Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Impressive, right? This is a real gem that Brother Su got his hands on—the rarest Tier 2 ingredient, golden fish roe!"
"Then I used the Spirit Chef effect to enhance it and activate its essence, which is why it has this effect."
Shen Qiaoqiao also came over and sighed softly:
"Yes, this fish roe is delicious and very good for your health, it's just a pity there's only a little left!"
As Shen Ruying served Lin Xuan a bowl of fish soup, she gently added:
"We've all eaten them, and with all the food Brother Su brought back, the attributes they've given us have been boosted quite a bit."
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Jin with gentle eyes:
"Things like the sea monster meat we had before, and the special dishes Yuanyuan made, have made us much stronger than before. Now, even if we do some work, we don't get tired so easily."
"Oh, right, there's also royal jelly. I can make you a cup before bed."
Li Yuanyuan nodded vigorously and continued the conversation:
"So, Sister Lin Xuan, now that you've joined our fleet, you'll have plenty of good stuff like this in the future."
She patted her chest, looking quite proud, and continued:
"Our captain is amazing! If we follow him, we'll have meat to eat, soup to drink, and we'll become stronger!"
"Just stay put and get well soon. You'll definitely have your chance to shine in the future!"
Lin Xuan listened to their conversation, felt the power within her body, looked at the golden fish roe in the bowl, and then looked up at the calm-looking man by the campfire.
A strong sense of anticipation welled up in her heart.
So... in this cruel world, there really is such a place.
It has a powerful leader, reliable companions, and precious resources that can make people stronger quickly.
All her previous anxiety and unease, as well as her lingering inferiority complex, were largely dispelled at this moment by the bowl of golden fish roe and the words of her companions.
Then she nodded seriously to Su Jin:
"Captain, I will do my best to shine."
Su Jin waved his hand and chuckled:
"Why are you being so serious? You're talking like you're firewood, as if I'm going to burn you."
As he spoke, he casually added a piece of firewood to the fire.
Watching the firewood gradually burn, then carbonize, and finally turn into a little ash, he slowly said:
"See this? This is firewood. When you burn it, it becomes charcoal, then ash, and then it becomes waste and is useless."
He glanced at Lin Xuan, then at the others, and said calmly:
"Simply put, they're cannon fodder, and me..."
"We don't need cannon fodder."
The others didn't understand Su Jin's meaning at first, but only Lin Xuan, a top student, instantly grasped it and immediately changed her words:
"Then I will become a useful person, a useful tool, and continuously create value for the team."
Su Jin raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected Lin Xuan to react so quickly.
He chuckled softly and corrected him:
"Forget about being a tool; just be a useful person, that's enough."
After hearing their conversation, the others understood what Su Jin meant and nodded in agreement, indicating that they would definitely try their best.
Lin Xuan, in particular, reiterated that she is determined to make the most of her talents and make outstanding contributions to the team.
Seeing that the four girls were all very enthusiastic, Su Jin felt a sense of relief.
His team has a very good sense of cohesion, mainly because he, as captain, provides good benefits and treats the crew members like human beings.
As long as the person is of good character, if you treat him well, he will naturally try his best to repay you.
Why do some bosses complain about their employees slacking off all the time? It's because they keep deducting wages from their employees' pay. They blame others for their own mistakes.
He clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to him.
He cleared his throat and said:
"A lot happened today. We encountered some dangers, but we also gained a lot. For example, we will have a stable seawater desalination device on our ship in the future."
"In other words, we will have a stable supply of fresh water at all times when we are at sea."
"Although the amount is not much, if everyone distributes it, there will still be a lot left over to feed the sheep."
"At that time, goat milk will also be an important source of protein."
Aside from Lin Xuan, Shen Ruying and the others all looked quite surprised, especially Li Yuanyuan, who knew how difficult it was to obtain fresh water at sea.
It's either a matter of waiting for the seawater to evaporate, or it depends entirely on the weather; you might only have fresh water if it rains, which is quite troublesome.
But now that there are seawater desalination plants, things are much more comfortable.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Su Jin smiled and said:
"But that's not important for now. I want to talk about tomorrow's arrangements."
Upon hearing the arrangements for tomorrow, everyone listened attentively.
"Tomorrow's plan is mainly to set up our future home. I've already named our ship the Ark."
"We can sleep on land by the sea tonight, and then move all these things onto the boat tomorrow."
"But this can't be accomplished overnight. Qiaoqiao still needs to work hard on other things tomorrow."
Shen Qiaoqiao nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
Su Jin nodded in satisfaction and looked at the others, continuing:
"Tomorrow, Ruying and Yuanyuan will stay, but Ruying will go next door to collect coal, while Yuanyuan will stay here to work with Qiaoqiao."
"Tomorrow is the third day before the cold wave begins, so we need to hurry up and prepare."
"As for me, I'll go back to the archipelago with Lin Xuan tomorrow. There are still a lot of spoils we haven't collected there."
After saying this, he squinted and looked in the direction of the archipelago.
I wonder if anyone has secretly taken advantage of his things?
