"Eh?"

"Something's not right!"

Seeing how much his base attributes had skyrocketed, Ye Tong was stunned.

Based on the trash he had picked up, there was no way he should have gained this many base attributes!

Compared to before he had set sail, they had increased by seven or eight hundred points.

More importantly, every single attribute had increased.

For a moment, Ye Tong was completely wide awake.

He was certain that no pickup critical or anything like that had occurred this time.

And even after going through his memories again and calculating everything, he was still short by several hundred points.

Could it be...

Ye Tong looked at the panel again.

His Digestion had increased too, reaching 520. It had risen by a full two hundred points.

There was no way he had remembered that wrong.

Other than from Lucky Roux, he had not picked up anything related to Digestion at all!

"So it was you, after all?"

As he spoke, Ye Tong took out a lump of green stuff—Life Source!

This was the only item whose use he did not understand. There had been no special change after using it.

Now, it seemed that the gradually increasing base attributes were Life Source's greatest effect!

With that thought, Ye Tong once again tossed a piece of Life Source into his mouth without hesitation.

Then he went to sleep!

Now that he had figured out the reason, there was no need to dwell on it.

Five days later.

"Hina, haven't we reached the next island yet?"

On the deck, Ye Tong asked listlessly.

"Colonel Ye Tong, another two days, perhaps."

Hina replied helplessly.

Things had been fine when they first set sail. Every day, Ye Tong cleaned the warship and practiced swordsmanship on the deck.

But by the third day...

Ye Tong discovered that he could no longer gain Pickup Points or rewards from some small items, and his mood instantly crashed.

Now that it was the fifth day, this warship could no longer provide Ye Tong with anything.

Even so, he still cleaned it from top to bottom.

But he could not help feeling depressed.

"Two days?"

"It'd be nice if some pirates came by to keep me company!"

Ye Tong raised Murasame in his hand and said irritably.

And so, another day passed.

The next day, a dark silhouette appeared ahead of the warship.

"Colonel Ye Tong, Hina sees a ship ahead!"

While Ye Tong was scrubbing the deck, Hina ran over to tell him.

"A ship...?"

"Hahahaha, it's finally here! Finally here!"

Ye Tong's eyes practically spat fire.

"Colonel Ye Tong, how terrifying!"

"Hina is a little scared!" Hina sighed as she watched Ye Tong rush off.
