Chapter Summaries

Yang Yi and Su Na survived the tsunami as the Nightmare Star was tossed underwater, where a cannon damaged the hull and seawater forced its way inside. Yang Yi sealed the breach, and the ship eventually resurfaced and righted itself, leaving both of them alive but covered in seawater and Pale Worm fat.

• Yang Yi transformed into a Werewolf and shielded Su Na from cargo that broke loose as the tsunami tossed the Nightmare Star upside down.
• Yang Yi found a hull crack near the Ancient War Room where the cannon had struck and used Bone Arms and a patch to stop the seawater from flooding the ship.
• Su Na caught a Pale Worm Larva feeding on seawater, cut off its tentacles, and sealed it in another barrel for observation.
• The Nightmare Star burst out of the sea, plunged back into the water, then rolled upright with a slight list to port.

Yang Yi and Su Na discovered a huge Meat Lump spreading across the Nightmare Star and fought it with salt and Bone Arms. They crippled the tumor and prepared to destroy it for a gacha draw.

• Yang Yi and Su Na went onto the battered deck after hearing something slapping overhead and found a tumor covering the bow and spreading across the ship.
• Su Na struck the tumor with a Salt Arrow, turning nearly half of it to salt and creating a Salt Man that weakened the flesh.
• Yang Yi stopped Su Na from firing again and ordered more than three hundred Bone Arms to carry and scatter salt across the flesh carpet.
• Yang Yi and the Bone Arms withered nearly all the flesh carpet and shrank the tumor, while Yang Yi cut off its supply of nutrients from the sea.
• Yang Yi identified the remaining mass as a Delicious Meat Lump and prepared to destroy it for a gacha draw.

Yang Yi and Su Na finished killing the Meat Lump, and Yang Yi obtained a strange potted plant from the Monster Gacha Machine. As the survivors approached a massive tsunami, Yang Yi shared survival advice and prepared the Nightmare Star for the impact.

• Yang Yi buried the Meat Lump under about 425 kilograms of sea salt, and he and Su Na confirmed that its jerky did not revive in White Seawater.
• Yang Yi recycled the jerky in the Monster Gacha Machine and received a Delicious Potted Plant that could grow fruit from seeds or fresh flesh.
• Yang Yi stored the potted plant, then he and Su Na checked the ship and began clearing contaminated seawater and grease from the hold.
• Yang Yi ordered the Bone Arms to repair the Nightmare Star and used the One-Eye title to warn players about surviving the approaching tsunami.
• Players reported that sturdy ships and preparation could help them survive the tsunami, while Yang Yi worried that the system's successive seas would eventually kill everyone.

Yang Yi repaired and salted the Nightmare Star, assessed its supplies, and prepared to spend the night aboard while the ship’s Bone Arms continued their work. He handed Su Na specimens and learned that the Pale Worm had grown into an edible adult; as night fell, he took the first watch and read the Chat Channel, uncertain how many players had survived the tsunami.

• Yang Yi used materials and the system’s assistance to repair the Nightmare Star, restoring its durability to 2,000 and building its mast while the Bone Arms continued repairing it.
• Yang Yi counted the remaining supplies, noted that he had earned eighty thousand Conch Coins, and spread a thick layer of salt across the ship.
• Yang Yi installed the Giant Bobbit Worm Head and placed the Life Fireplace in the unfinished Captain’s Quarters.
• Yang Yi brought specimens to Su Na in the Witch Laboratory and saw that the Pale Worm had grown into an adult with rapidly regenerating tentacles and edible flesh.
• Yang Yi and Su Na ate, agreed to take turns keeping watch, and Su Na went to sleep while Yang Yi took the first watch and checked the Chat Channel.

Yang Yi learned that players stranded in the White Seawater could lose their minds, so he spread Sea Salt throughout the Nightmare Star to protect it. By morning, mushrooms and other organisms had grown rapidly across ships, while ordinary food spoiled, leaving players increasingly dependent on preserved supplies.

• Yang Yi questioned a player trapped in the White Seawater, but the player rambled about being fed and then disappeared when his account was deleted.
• Yang Yi spread roughly three tonnes of Sea Salt across the Nightmare Star's floors and handed the night watch over to Su Na.
• Yang Yi found Su Na collecting Delicious Mushrooms that had grown on the sails overnight.
• Su Na showed Yang Yi reports of rapid growth and spoilage across other ships, including enormous vegetables and edible Delicious Mold.
• Yang Yi saw that salted and canned foods had survived while other supplies spoiled, and realized players might eventually eat the tempting Delicious Mushrooms and weeds.

Yang Yi sailed the Nightmare Star through the Abundant Sea, fishing for Abyssal Fish while the ship was repaired. Su Na created the Growth Potion, and Yang Yi tested it, confirming that it boosted attribute experience growth rates for eight hours despite its foul taste.

• Yang Yi scanned the waters for islands and Rotting Whales, then checked the bone-repaired Captain's Quarters aboard the Nightmare Star.
• Yang Yi fished in the Abundant Sea, catching edible Abyssal Fish and later killing a Medium Delicious Meat Lump that yielded Delicious Essence Fertilizer.
• Su Na asked Yang Yi to test a new potion made with a Glutton's Digestive Fluid, warning him that it tasted terrible.
• Yang Yi drank the potion, suffered nausea and a 10-point Sanity loss, and gained boosted Constitution, Strength, and Agility experience growth rates for eight hours.
• Yang Yi praised the potion's effects and sent Su Na its information, identifying it as the unique, treasured Growth Potion.

Yang Yi woke from a nightmare with mysterious white vomit beside his bed, and Su Na’s tests revealed it contained concentrated Gourmet Syrup that he had never knowingly eaten. After a sleepless night, Yang Yi checked the Chat Channel and saw a report of a moving forest at sea.

• Yang Yi exercised with a Growth Potion, raised his base Constitution to eight, and asked Su Na to make more potions and drink them herself.
• Yang Yi woke drenched in sweat and found white vomit beneath his bed, then told Su Na about his recurring nightmares and his memories of the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs and the Charred Tree.
• Su Na tested the vomit and found food residue matching Yang Yi’s meals, along with concentrated Gourmet Syrup; Yang Yi noticed his Pollution depth had risen by one percent.
• Yang Yi spent the rest of the night awake at the bow, then found his Stamina and Sanity reduced in the morning.
• Yang Yi checked the Chat Channel while fishing and opened a night-vision photo of a moving forest at sea.

Yang Yi investigated a drifting Sea Forest that he suspected was a Rotting Whale while fishing, making Growth Potion ingredients, and selling salted fish. He paid the forest’s discoverer for its former coordinates and encouraged others to send him any new information.

• Yang Yi messaged the player who posted a photograph of the Sea Forest, then fished and salted Delicious Meat Lumps for Growth Potions.
• He supplied inedible fish and shriveled Meat Lumps to Su Na in the Witch Laboratory and sold thirteen jin of salted fish for about 13,000 Conch Coins.
• Yang Yi bought materials for upgrading the Nightmare Star and scanned the nearby waters, finding no Rotting Whales or islands.
• The Sea Forest’s discoverer told Yang Yi it had drifted away and gave him its previous coordinates, about four thousand nautical miles behind him.
• Yang Yi paid the discoverer 1,000 Conch Coins and asked him to report any new information, after which the discoverer publicized their deal in the Chat Channel.

Yang Yi read the Weekly Magazine’s survival guide to meat lumps and sea-salt tactics, then strengthened the Nightmare Star against aerial attacks. Su Na suggested making glass containers for salt grenades and asked whether he wanted to try raising meat lumps.

• Yang Yi read Mo Dayan’s classification of meat lumps and learned how different types fed and attacked.
• Yang Yi studied players’ advice on using sea salt, fire, weapons, armor, and traps against meat lumps.
• Yang Yi kept the Nightmare Star’s salt layer thick and arranged four Catapults and nets to defend against creatures falling from the sky.
• Su Na told Yang Yi that the crystal could be blown into glass containers and asked whether he wanted to raise meat lumps.

Yang Yi and Su Na built a reinforced cultivation box and began testing how Meat Lumps behaved when fed together. By the end, the Meat Lumps had merged into a writhing mass over three meters wide, and Su Na had taken a High-Energy Protein Bar from a chest Yang Yi caught.

• Yang Yi agreed to let Su Na study Meat Lumps, then helped her build a large iron-lined wooden box with salt traps to contain and kill them if necessary.
• After a short rest, Yang Yi found Su Na inside the box placing dead Meat Lumps as food, then pulled her out and began fishing.
• Yang Yi caught several living Meat Lumps and dropped them into the box, where they settled down to feed on the dead ones.
• Su Na observed that Meat Lumps devoured each other, and a smaller one grew larger after Yang Yi's Salt Bow weakened its rival.
• Yang Yi continued fishing as the Meat Lumps combined into a mass over three meters across, then opened a Black Iron Treasure Chest containing a High-Energy Protein Bar that Su Na took.

Yang Yi and Su Na tested Glutton gastric juice on a meat lump, then Yang Yi killed a medium Jet-Type Meat Lump and used it for a Monster Gacha draw. The draw produced Delicious Bait, which Yang Yi stored until they left the Abundant Sea to avoid attracting more meat lumps.

• Su Na stopped Yang Yi from using salt on a climbing meat lump and poured Glutton gastric juice into the box, driving it away from the liquid.
• Yang Yi caught a large meat lump, which grew into a medium Jet-Type Meat Lump after devouring another lump.
• Su Na returned with a preserved Glutton stomach and asked Yang Yi to test it on the meat lump, but he chose to wait for a smaller one.
• Yang Yi poured sea salt into the box, killed the meat lump, and collected its dried meat for the Monster Gacha Machine.
• Yang Yi drew Delicious Bait and stored it, fearing it would attract meat lumps in the Abundant Sea.

Yang Yi and Su Na’s attempt to raise another Meat Lump accidentally created a dangerous Feast Glutton, which they destroyed before it could escape into the sea. After repairing their equipment and raising more Meat Lumps, Yang Yi woke from a troubled sleep to discover that food was falling from the sky.

• Yang Yi caught a small Meat Lump, and Su Na added the Glutton’s incomplete stomach to it, creating a flesh-eating creature that absorbed sea salt and rapidly regenerated.
• Yang Yi blasted the creature with his Flintlock, but it split into another Glutton; Su Na then turned it into a Salt Folk with a Salt Arrow, and Yang Yi destroyed it with seawater.
• Yang Yi identified the creature as Feast Glutton (Li Rong), warned Su Na to use safer equipment and waters for future experiments, and repaired the damaged box.
• Yang Yi and Su Na raised two more medium-sized Meat Lumps, killed them, and drew Delicious Fertilizer and 200 wood from their capsules.
• Yang Yi slept for three hours, woke with his Pollution level at 20%, and checked the weather after hearing impacts on the roof.
• Yang Yi saw an orange-like fruit fall onto the deck during a sudden Food Rain.

Yang Yi discovered that super delicious food was raining across the Sea of Abundance and rushed to clear it from the Nightmare Star before it attracted creatures from the sea. As Su Na came out to help, she spotted a gigantic snow pear about to crash into the ship.

• Yang Yi inspected the strange fruit rain, warned Su Na to stay inside, and realized sinking delicacies could draw sea creatures to the surface.
• Yang Yi identified the fruit as super delicious, then ordered the Bone Arms to sweep it off the deck and into the sea.
• Yang Yi dismantled the Tin-Plated Box, cushioning net, and sails so the ship could be cleared more easily, and the detached Bone Arms joined the cleanup.
• Su Na emerged with the Crystal Great Shield and asked Yang Yi to collect samples for her to study.
• Su Na warned Yang Yi about a nearly fifty-meter snow pear falling toward the Nightmare Star, and Yang Yi fired his Roaring Flintlock at it.

Yang Yi and Su Na survived a downpour of giant food and prepared the Nightmare Star to sail through the dangerous area. Yang Yi discovered that the food came from an enormous hand above the clouds, where tiny people gnawed at it.

• Yang Yi destroyed a giant Snow Pear with Roaring Mode, then entered the cabin with Su Na to escape the falling food.
• Su Na examined a realistic banana while Yang Yi warned that the delicious food might attract creatures from the sea.
• Yang Yi discovered that the Greedy Stomach had revived after licking food residue from the stored nets and boards.
• Yang Yi built a shelter at the bow and steered the Nightmare Star, collecting only a little fallen food as the rain changed to bread and pastries.
• Yang Yi looked through the clouds with Three Eyes and saw an enormous hand covered with tiny people eating it, with scraps falling as food.

Yang Yi was trapped in a feast-like vision that concealed a horrific scene, and he recovered his memories after recognizing himself as the captain of the Nightmare Star. He returned to the damaged ship’s Atrium, where he vomited and then burst open, spilling a mountain of food before Su Na.

• Yang Yi awoke in a dim space, then found himself at a lavish feast and began eating uncontrollably.
• Yang Yi ignored a familiar voice and struck a fat woman, who swelled and burst into strawberry jam.
• Yang Yi resisted the food long enough to remember that he was Yang Yi, captain of the Nightmare Star, and saw children devouring an enormous woman.
• Yang Yi returned to the damaged Atrium, where Su Na aimed her bow at him.
• Yang Yi vomited thick white slurry and food scraps, then his belly burst and spilled a mountain of food.

Yang Yi recovered from a hallucination only to discover that he had developed the Maw of Gluttony, a second mouth on his stomach that kept trying to eat nearby food. With Su Na’s help, he sewed it shut, then told her about the terrifying being he had seen in the sky and stopped her from going out to look.

• Yang Yi discovered that his stomach had become the Maw of Gluttony, a ravenous new mutation that he could barely control.
• Yang Yi tried to restrain the mouth, then asked Su Na for a needle and thread so he could sew it shut.
• Su Na held the mouth still while Yang Yi pinned it down, and she sewed it closed after about twenty minutes.
• Yang Yi learned from Su Na that he had eaten random things and smashed a hole through the Captain's Quarters while he was hallucinating.
• Yang Yi told Su Na about the being he had seen in the sky, then held her back when she tried to go out and look at it.

Yang Yi discovered that the banquet had given him the Feast Reveler path, which made delicious food temporarily increase his attributes but left him dependent on it. As food rain continued over the Abundant Sea, he spotted a huge whirlpool and steered the Nightmare Star around hazards before meat lumps began appearing nearby.

• Yang Yi checked his panel and found the Feast Reveler path among his Extraordinary Paths, with a new dependence on delicious food and temporary attribute boosts.
• Su Na studied Yang Yi's panel and noted his 28% pollution and high attributes before Yang Yi urged her to sleep.
• Yang Yi used the Eye of Greed to spot a huge whirlpool 23 nautical miles away and suspected a massive Rotting Whale was beneath it.
• Yang Yi steered the Nightmare Star around an enormous candy cane while waves battered the ship.
• Meat lumps emerged from the sea and grabbed falling food, while Yang Yi saw in the Chat Channel that other players were also encountering and fighting them.

After the Food Rain ended, Rotting Whales and meat lumps surfaced across the sea, while the fleets struggled with the aftermath of the tsunami. Shen Guanquan offered Yang Yi the coordinates and support to destroy the rampaging Farmer, revealing that the moving forest was a Rotting Whale.

• Meat lumps surfaced after the tsunami, and players warned one another to stop sailing until daylight.
• Weissman ordered the Lost Ones Fleet to keep moving and use a fake Gourmet Appetite treatment service to draw in players.
• Shen Guanquan learned that his search team had found no survivors near the Farmer, which had escaped and could not be rebuilt.
• Yang Yi used the Sea Chart and Eye of Greed telescope to avoid huge Rotting Whales while searching for a smaller one to kill.
• Shen Guanquan told Yang Yi that the rampaging Farmer was a Rotting Whale and offered its coordinates, support, and a top-grade Mid-Tier Abyss Soulstone in exchange for its destruction.

Yang Yi agreed to help Shen Guanquan deal with the Farmer, which had become a Miniature Rotting Whale after its crops were transformed by strange rain. The two forces completed their first cooperation, and Yang Yi received the promised Mid-Tier Abyss Soulstone and the Farmer’s coordinates.

• Shen Guanquan showed Yang Yi that the Farmer had become a small Rotting Whale, with vines covering the ship and the Sunlit Breeding Room destroyed.
• Shen Guanquan explained that rain containing Delicious Cells had awakened the Farmer’s crops, which attacked the crew, and revealed that the room had housed an Egg of the Forest.
• Yang Yi agreed to deal with the Rotting Whale in exchange for sea salt and an advance on the Mid-Tier Abyss Soulstone, offering one million Conch Coins as collateral.
• Shen Guanquan accepted Yang Yi’s terms, added him as a friend, and arranged for someone to deliver salt and provide the Farmer’s movements.
• Yang Yi completed the trade and received the Mid-Tier Abyss Soulstone, while Geng Qiu began sending him the Farmer’s coordinates.

Yang Yi sailed toward the Farmer while upgrading Broken Iron and preparing supplies to contain the Fruit of Abundance and repel Rotting Whales. The chapter ended with Su Na demonstrating a prototype container as the Nightmare Star headed for the Farmer's coordinates.

• Yang Yi set course for the Farmer and asked Su Na to design a container for the Fruit of Abundance and sea salt grenades for Rotting Whales.
• Yang Yi upgraded Broken Iron with a Mid-Tier Abyss Soulstone, raising its Strength requirement beyond what he could manage outside Wolf Transformation.
• Yang Yi noticed a sewn-shut mouth across his belly and used Three Eyes to inspect the suspiciously artificial-looking sun and sky.
• Su Na requested crystal and tools for the container and grenades, and Yang Yi transferred her 300,000 Conch Coins.
• Yang Yi used the repaired Lookout to find a route toward the Farmer's coordinates, avoiding Rotting Whales and Meat Lumps.
• At night, Su Na demonstrated a prototype glass-lined container that Yang Yi could assemble around the Fruit of Abundance and fill with Gastric Juice.
