Chapter Summaries

After leaving the Extreme Winter Sea first, Yang Yi began preparing to profit from scarce supplies and sold the exit coordinates for a large sum. He funded Su Na’s plans to turn the Crystal Giant’s remains into equipment, while proposing that she make lighter greatswords to sell.

• Yang Yi and Su Na received a reward for being the first players to leave the Extreme Winter Sea, and Yang Yi saw that the next sea was called the Abundant Sea.
• Yang Yi built and upgraded a Lookout on the Nightmare Star, raising its island-scanning range to 1,500 nautical miles.

• Su Na came onto the deck, and Yang Yi gave her another 30,000 Conch Coins to buy a furnace and molds for processing the Crystal Giant’s remains.
• Yang Yi suggested that Su Na make lighter greatswords from the crystals for sale, and she agreed to try despite their reduced power.

Yang Yi discovered a distant island and learned that the first player had escaped the Extreme Winter Sea, prompting him to plan a lumber-selling venture. Meanwhile, Xu Da and Yu Dawei’s fleets continued toward the exit, with the Iron Brotherhood fleet fighting Ice Nest Worms.

• Yang Yi used the Lookout to find an island nearly 1,300 nautical miles from the Nightmare Star and changed course toward it.

The New World Fleet, the Lost Ones Fleet, and the New Humanity Fleet each used different tactics to cross the Extreme Winter Sea. After about a day at sea, Yang Yi and Su Na finally neared the island aboard the Nightmare Star.

• Shen Guanquan led the New World Fleet in using fire-bearing scout ships to lure Ice Nest Worms away, while other players followed at a safe distance.
• Shen Guanquan abandoned plans to recruit One-Eye after reading the Weekly Magazine and estimated that the fleet would leave the Extreme Winter Sea in about a week, despite seven deaths.

• The New Humanity Fleet sent expendable special assault teams ahead to scout, relying on their survival to judge whether the route was safe.
• Yang Yi and Su Na approached the island aboard the Nightmare Star after sailing for roughly a day.

Yang Yi landed on a small island covered in red bananas and discovered that its fire-breathing macaques were weak. After tasting a Fire Banana and recognizing its similarity to Charred Liquor, he suspected the fruit was used to brew it, just as a troop of macaques confronted him.

• Yang Yi surveyed the island, found red bananas and fire-tailed macaques, and killed one with a cannon shot.

• A troop of Fire Macaques charged Yang Yi, and he aimed his Roaring Flintlock at them in Shotgun Mode.

Yang Yi cleared Fire Macaques from the island and obtained a Charred Liquor recipe that required their digestive fluid. He brought the recipe to Su Na, examined a crystal longsword she had cast, and returned to log the island’s trees.

• Yang Yi killed the Fire Macaques with his Flintlock, collected their bodies, and found no treasure chest on the island.
• Yang Yi used three adult Fire Macaque corpses in the Monster Gacha Machine and obtained a Charred Liquor Brewing Method, a Fire Macaque Scarf, and a Longevity Brand Lighter.

• Yang Yi examined a Rough-Crafted Crystal Longsword that Su Na had made and proposed producing crystal weapons and armor for sale.
• Yang Yi returned to the cleared island and began cutting down trees by shooting their bases with his Flintlock.

• Yang Yi sold 478 L of Pale Worm fat and 300 L of Charred Liquor, raising his balance to 498,100 Conch Coins.

• Yang Yi sold 10,000 units of timber to the Iron Will in two transactions for 250,000 Conch Coins.

Yang Yi sold timber from the island before a mysterious Collector appeared aboard the Nightmare Star and offered him three Supreme-quality items for trade. Yang Yi examined the items and learned that he had ten chances to trade before the Collector forced a deal, but he did not know what to offer.

• Yang Yi sold timber through the day as more players began selling timber in bulk, then planned to retrieve and sell the remaining logs by firelight.
• Yang Yi discovered a nearly three-meter-tall figure in a black robe on the shore, and it appeared aboard the Nightmare Star almost instantly.

• Yang Yi learned that he had ten opportunities to trade before the Collector would force a trade, but he did not know what to offer.

• Su Na drew Yang Yi’s blood and began mixing potions while Yang Yi asked her to explain crystal armor and make a special mold.

Yang Yi carved a grotesque crystal statue to trade with the Collector, and Su Na finished preparing two potions. The Collector accepted every item, especially liking Yang Yi’s statue, and the trades were completed.

• Yang Yi melted crystal into a cube and went to the Captain's Quarters to carve a statue, losing Sanity when he recalled the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs and The Charred Tree.

• Yang Yi realized the armor’s spikes would pierce its wearer, but he approached it despite Su Na’s warning.

After selling the island’s wood, Yang Yi drank a Sleeping Potion and slept for over twenty hours while Su Na worried about his deteriorating mental state. He woke to find Su Na had failed to locate another island, then sent Song Yingwen information about the Collector and learned that asking the Collector what it wanted might get a player deleted.

• Yang Yi sent Song Yingwen information and a photo of the Collector, and explained that players could prepare items to trade with it.
• Song Yingwen warned Yang Yi that a player who asked the Collector what it wanted had their account deleted within two minutes.

Yang Yi investigated another player's fatal encounter with a Collector and inferred that sudden wealth and seeing one at night could trigger a trade. After enhancing his weapon and fishing in the Abundant Sea, he caught a Delicious Mushroom, which Su Na took to the laboratory for research as Yang Yi followed to make crystal weapon samples.

• Yang Yi received thirty thousand Conch Coins from Song Yingwen and reviewed the World Channel account of a player who died after asking a Collector what it wanted.
• Yang Yi compared the player's experience with his own and suspected that earning a large amount of Conch Coins and seeing a Collector triggered its appearance and trade demand.
• Yang Yi ate Black Bread, sailed toward the Abundant Sea, and upgraded the Sea Serpent's Fang into the exquisite Flame Serpent's Fang.
• Yang Yi fished for three hours and caught fresh water, fish, Eyeball Fruits, and a fragrant Delicious Mushroom.
• Su Na took the Delicious Mushroom to the laboratory for research, while Yang Yi followed to prepare sample crystal weapons for making molds.

Yang Yi tested crystal equipment production, made fine-quality crystal greatswords and shields, and planned to sell most of them for Conch Coins. After Su Na investigated Delicious Mushroom’s appeal to fish, she concluded its fragrance was reducing their appetite for other foods, so she and Yang Yi drank Appetite Potions to enjoy their crab dinner.

• Yang Yi cast a Crystal Longsword and found it was good quality but brittle, then made a fine-quality crystal greatsword modeled after Broken Iron.
• Yang Yi made a fine-quality Crystal Great Shield and decided to keep several pieces while selling the rest of the greatswords and shields for 20,000 Conch Coins each.

• Yang Yi and Su Na caught One-Armed Crabs, but both found the crab meat unappetizing after exposure to Delicious Mushroom’s fragrance.
• Su Na suspected the mushroom’s fragrance dulled their appetite for other foods, and she and Yang Yi drank Appetite Potions to counteract the effect.

• Yang Yi learned that timber prices were falling as players, including the New World Fleet, left the Extreme Winter Sea, and a system announcement said the Abundant Sea would expand once everyone had left.
• Yang Yi checked the remaining player count, then contacted Shen Guanquan about buying food and decided to stockpile supplies because food in the Abundant Sea might be inedible.
