After officially entering the game, all Players left the Netherworld and surged into the Yellow Springs Sea Region.
The Yellow Springs Sea Region described in the update announcement and expansion had filled Players with yearning for the ocean.
Meanwhile, the viewer count for one stream on the official website's Live Stream Platform was rapidly climbing, catching Lu Wu's attention.
"Build your own raft, aspire to become a fisherman, grind for Soul Coins to buy a ship!"
In the stream, two Players used resources from the shore to personally teach everyone how to build a raft. Their explanation was extremely detailed, and since most Players could not afford a Ghost Ship to begin with, many watched and learned attentively.
They sawed down trees, made wooden strips of suitable sizes, used vines in place of rope, and tightly bound the strips together. In less than three hours, the two Players had made a simple raft.
Seeing the results of their labor, the two Players smiled.
"Everyone, the first step toward grinding for a Ghost Ship is complete. Now, let's head out to sea!"
The two Players then spent ten Soul Coins on fishing gear and bait. They pushed the raft into the Underworld Sea and paddled toward the depths of the ocean.
Off-stream:
"This is seriously so crude... Do you think one wave might smash that raft apart?"
"Brothers, wishing you a huge catch today! I'm saving up for a Ghost Ship too. Let's keep it up together!"
"Hope you hit it big. Catch a spirit fish and I'll buy it."
"Compared to using a raft like this, I think it'd be better to dive and catch fish by hand. Then you wouldn't even need to buy fishing gear, saving some money. (smirk)"
"What if you run into a Sea Monster? (scared)"
