Taming Beasts To Survive: I Can See The Prompts

Chapter 69: Goldfish-Eating Monster, F-Cla.s.s Boat
And by water…


He had to have a boat, or at least the whole raft.


He had to learn how to swim.


He had to learn how to hold his breath if he was unlucky enough for this boat to capsize.


He had been hit by a fish monster, so holding his breath was quite important…


After doing some calculations, he found that his wallet was a bit short.


He had no choice but to look for Mcgee. He wanted to sell Mcgee some materials and items to save up some copper coins.


After all, he knew that Mcgee had collected a lot of copper coins yesterday.


“Do you not have enough money?”


“To be honest, I don't have much money either, especially now that the rainy season has just started. I have spent a lot on skills, and I don't have much money left.


“Also, I don't know how to get copper coins yet. Copper coins are the new currency and it's hard to get currency, so the current value of the currency is quite high.


“If you want to exchange materials for copper coins with me, to put it bluntly, those materials of yours are the products of summer. What everyone needs now is something that can survive in the water season. Simply put, it's deflation.”


Mcgee thought for a moment and understood the other party's psychology. He was too lazy to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point.


Although he did not say it very politely, at least he said the ugly words first so that he would not waste time arguing later.


After all, for a peddler like Romon, what was important was profit and value creation.


It was precisely because of this that Romon shamelessly came up to Mcgee.


And as a businessman, he naturally understood Mcgee's words.


“Big brother Mcgee, you're right. There are few copper coins in the market now and it's expensive currency. It's really not easy them.”


“But, we're doing business with acquaintances. Can you give us a discount?”


“No, this is life-saving money. It's not that I don't want to give you face. If I guess correctly, you have at least a few thousand copper coins. Isn't that enough for you?”


Mcgee refused.


“According to your idea, those players who only have 100 copper coins, or even a few copper coins, aren't they just sitting ducks?”


Mcgee did not intend to give in. The other party and he were not people with the same skin, so what right did they have to treat him well.


Moreover, deep down, he did not really like black-hearted businesses.


If the other party had not done some things for him, he would not have bothered to waste so many words.


“Luo Sheng, let me give you a piece of advice. Use a good knife on a steel blade. Even if you have money, you can't spend it recklessly. I don't think you need help.”


“If you insist on exchanging copper coins from me, then you'll be the one rushing to give it to me. I won't be the one putting a knife to your neck and mercilessly killing you.”


“Alright, I'll think it over,” Romon replied helplessly.


Mcgee did not bother with him anymore. Anyway, Romon was not the only one with brains.


With his current wealth, he could definitely be considered one of the top capitalists at the moment.


He believed that as long as he shouted in the chatbox, there would definitely be a large number of bankers, investors, and businessmen rushing to do things for him.


After all, once he had done it, he would be rich.


After that, Mcgee learned all the skill books that he had bought in the mall.


He had to say that he was somewhat envious of those who had skills before he transmigrated.


At least those who could swim did not need to buy a swimming skill book.


Those who could cast the bait and cast the net did not need to learn how to cast the net.


As for him, he really was not good at anything.


Fortunately, he had golden fingers, or else he would have died a long time ago.


Suddenly, his expression changed, and there was a strange sound coming from downstairs.


“Omori, what's going on?”


Omori, who was on guard on the stairs, immediately replied, his tone anxious, “Master, something bad has happened. A group of fish has appeared outside. Their teeth are sharp, and they bit through the wood in an instant.”


Mcgee secretly thought that something bad had happened. Indeed, the system had started to target him.


It made sense. He was living a good life. Who else could he mess with if not the system itself?


However, he still immediately went to the stairs to observe the situation.


He saw a group of big-headed fish monsters with black scales. They were as thick as a person's thigh, and their bodies were short and thick. They had a big head.


When they opened their mouths, they revealed two rows of sharp, thin, and sharp teeth. They casually bit on the wood, and it made a crunching sound.


[Goldbiter Fish Monster: Level 3, a small fish monster from the coast. It has a strong body, tough scales, and sharp teeth. It can bite most of the items. Wherever it goes, it will be a mess. Even if it is metal, it can bite into pieces.]


Wow, it was a bulldozer monster right away.


Looking at the current situation, this group of Goldbiter Fish Monsters definitely wanted to destroy this house.


Once they bit off more than half of the wood on the first floor, how could the second floor be spared?


Mcgee's heart sank. He was afraid that he would not be able to stay here for long. Sooner or later, he would be forced to leave.


Fortunately, he spent 3000 copper coins to buy an F-cla.s.s boat skill book. As long as he gathered the materials, he could start building a boat.


If he bought 30 copper coins worth of wooden raft blueprints and 300 copper coins worth of ordinary boat blueprints, then he would still be worried about traveling on water.


As for an F-grade boat, it was obvious that it had sufficient water protection.


Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Mcgee did not want to be homeless.


Moreover, there was only a group of level-3 fish monsters in front of him. They did not put him in their eyes.


However, he glanced at the tamed beasts. It seemed that none of them could be of any use.


The Little Spirit Fox that he relied on the most, although it had three types of skills, water, fire, and gra.s.s, could not fight in the water.


There was no need to mention the Spider Queen. The Spider Queen could not weave her webs in the water. Even if she entered the water and used her eight legs to get close to him, she would be toast.


Chameleon, Greed Treasure Chest, Steel Fairy, and Earth Mine Pangolin were all useless.


Helpless, Mcgee had no choice but to let the Greed Treasure Chest release the Arrow sentry tower to test its effect.


If it did not work, he could only bombard it with the stone sentry tower.


“Whoosh!”


Omori aimed at the surface of the water and fired a crossbow arrow.


The arrow, supported by the strong wind, brought with it a sharp air-piercing sound. It broke through the surface of the water in an instant. The arrowhead plunged into the water and hit a Goldbiter Fish Monster that could not avoid it in time.


Blood soon appeared under the surface of the water.


Although the Goldbiter Fish Monster's scales were tough, it still could not withstand the crossbow arrow that was enchanted with the power of the strong wind.


“Master, it's useful.”


Omori shouted.


“Then I'll leave it to you.” Mcgee nodded.


Following that, the sound of air being torn apart rang out one after another…


Omori was completely focused. Although he had also lost some accuracy, his one-third accuracy rate still caused many casualties to the Goldbiter Fish Monsters.


Most importantly, these fish monsters were susceptible to the smell of blood. So once their companions were injured, they would pounce on them and bite them to death, leaving nothing behind.


Therefore, Omori did not need to shoot them to death. It only needed to cause damage.


Seeing this, Mcgee began to read the F-grade boat blueprint.


[F-grade boat blueprint: After learning it, you can use the corresponding materials to build an F-grade boat.]


“System notification: You have learned the F-grade boat blueprint.”


[F-grade boat: Prepare wood * 80, iron * 50, cloth * 20, crystal core * 10, wind crystal core * 10, fire crystal core * 10, thunder crystal core * 1 and F-grade items for 100 copper coins. You can build a st.u.r.dy, fast boat.]


[Warm remarks: Fire cores are used to provide energy and power to the engine.]


[Thunder cores are used to avoid lightning and electricity. After all, thunderstorms and some electrically charged aquatic creatures can harm the people on the boat.]


Although thunder cores were relatively rare, Mcgee had collected a lot of items through the trade yesterday. Among them, there were quite a few thunder cores. Now, he had seven or eight.


Since the materials were complete, Mcgee did not delay any further. Instead, he directly clicked on 'shipbuilding'.


“Shipbuilding progress 1% … 30% … 100%.”


Three seconds later, Mcgee saw a thumbnail of a small boat in the inventory.


[F-cla.s.s boat: 6.6 meters long, 3.3 meters wide, cabin area 3 * 2, carrying capacity 3 tons 6. Each side of the boat is equipped with a cannon barrel, shooting range 200 meters.]


[Remarks: F-cla.s.s boat has a basic engine power system and sail power settings. Under the engine state, it consumes fire crystal cores, the maximum speed is 35 kilometers per hour, and under the sail state, the maximum speed is 15 kilometers per hour.]


As expected of a high-grade item, seeing that its attributes were pretty good, these 3,100 copper coins were not wasted.


Just when Mcgee was about to take out the small boat to experience the effects, he suddenly heard the Steel Fairy's anxious cry from afar.


“Master, something bad has happened. Something big is coming this way.”


Something big?


How big could it be?


Mcgee had a bad feeling. Was he going to have to prepare for a full-scale battle?
