Grand Voyage : Surviving on a Ghost Ship

It was the first time he killed someone, yet he didn’t feel much psychological burden. It might have been due to his high spirit and high tolerance.

He changed into the pirate outfit and headed towards the pirate ship’s cabin.

【Your outfit feels chilly, your Sanity decreases by 5】

As for the debuff of continuously losing Sanity, Yang Yi, with his high Spirit, could almost ignore it.

He entered the cabin and immediately received information about the ship.

It was special.

【Pirate Ship, Level 1, Durability 1000/1000, Capacity 800 units, Speed 45 knots】

【Ship Abilities:

• Extra Claws: This ship has two claws on each side, which can grab objects or even other ships.
• Pirate Assault: Increases speed by 25% for 15 minutes.】

【Description: The skull flag is the soul of this ship. Strive to become the Pirate King!】¹

Wanting to take advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yi tried to switch ships, but after searching the logs for a long time, he couldn’t find the relevant function.

It seemed that ships couldn’t be switched.

In truth, Yang Yi had no intention of switching.

The ship was good, with four additional claws that, if used skilfully, could greatly improve the efficiency of resource acquisition, but it simply couldn’t compare to the Nightmare.

The premonition effect the Nightmare had was much rarer than claws!

Yang Yi searched all the rooms in the cabin and unexpectedly found a female corpse.

She was completely naked and had likely suffered considerable abuse before her death. One of her plump thighs was missing, and clear strangulation bruises marked her neck. The bloodstains were also fresh, indicating she had died not long before.

So, Yang Yi was probably intended to be the second victim.

The first one was already dead!

【You are thinking about the missing thigh; your Sanity decreases by 2】

Yang Yi frowned.

The Sanity level of the ship’s previous owner was probably even lower than Yang Yi had imagined, and their mental state was quite worrying!

He started to examine the supplies he found.

This included two hard loaves of black bread, enough to provide two days of calories, 5 litres of freshwater, 125 units of wood, and 98 units of cloth.

【System Notice: You have successfully occupied an ownerless ship. You can choose to dismantle the ship, and the materials will be transferred to your cabin. Ensure your ship has enough capacity. Otherwise, the excess materials will sink into the sea. By dismantling, you will receive 100 units of wood, 50 units of cloth, and a blueprint for the Pirate Ship. Blueprints are only obtained by dismantling special ships. Each ship can only be modified once using a blueprint, so choose wisely! This prompt only appears when you first occupy a ship.】

No wonder this ship had so much wood; the previous owner must have dismantled an ordinary ship.

He checked the Nightmare and saw its capacity was small, only 400 units.

Capacity: 25/400

Wood 14, Cloth 10, Freshwater*1L (less than 1L is counted as 1L)

Only materials took up ship capacity. Other items, like weapons, could be placed wherever, even on the deck.

As for whether the ship would be overloaded with too many items, that was something to test further ahead.

Yang Yi quickly calculated.

After dismantling the ship, he would have just enough space for all the materials, which in turn would be enough to upgrade his ship to level 2. It was quite a find.

He searched again and, after confirming nothing valuable remained, returned to the Nightmare, now holding a dozen simple arrows.

Then, using the log, Yang Yi confirmed the dismantling of the Pirate Ship.

Immediately, the ship broke down into pieces right before his eyes and was absorbed into the Nightmare’s cabin.

He now had enough resources to upgrade his ship to level 2. But before that, he had something more urgent to do — purchase medical supplies through the trading system.

If he upgraded the ship and ended up without the right amount of resources to buy medicine, he’d be in trouble.

Yang Yi immediately opened the chat channel and started looking.

“Selling first aid bandages, 10 Shell Coins, 5 left!”

【Name: First Aid Bandage】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quality: Common】

【Description: Clean bandages that are good for stopping bleeding and preventing wound infection.】

“Rum can also be used as a disinfectant; 30 Shell Coins a bottle, only one left!”

“Selling balloons, you know what they’re for...”

Yang Yi quickly browsed.

The trading system was just starting, and most people had limited Shell Coins, so prices were unstandardised, with everyone setting prices based on their own judgement.

Bartering was common, and some people didn’t even accept Shell Coins, preferring to trade goods directly for security.

Few people were selling resources; currently, wood and cloth were considered the hard currency in trading, more popular than Shell Coins.

“Selling salt, 100 Shell Coins per pack!”

【Name: Sacred Salt】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quality: Good】

【Description: Can remove minor curses and, when sprinkled, ward off evil. Of course, you can also eat it.】

This wasn’t what he needed either.

He continued to scroll and finally found what he had been looking for, a high-quality item.

“Limited-time sale of Holy Water; DM for details.”

【Name: Holy Water】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quality: High】

【Description: Blessed pure water, can be taken internally, used externally, or thrown as a weapon. When facing demonic entities, you can never have too much Holy Water! It can heal various poisons and curses, speed up wound healing, and slightly restore energy.】

That was it!

Yang Yi checked the items he could use for trade.

These included the Wraith’s Resentment, a Pirate Longbow, a Rusted Flintlock Pistol, a blood-stained Pirate Outfit, a barnacle-covered Fishing Rod, the Pirate Ship Blueprint, various resources, and 500 Shell Coins.

If possible, he wanted to keep the weapons, pirate outfit, fishing rod, and enough resources to upgrade his ship to level 2.

The Pirate Ship Blueprint could be traded, but it was likely very valuable and not suitable for sale right now.

After some thought, Yang Yi sent a private message to the seller (before adding a friend, everyone was anonymous by default; players could choose to display their real name or ship name).

Yang Yi: “How much?”

A minute later, the other party replied, seemingly busy with many people contacting them.

Anonymous: “I need a lot of cloth, as well as survival items, equipment, freshwater, and food. Any of these will do.”

Yang Yi frowned.

Having the power to set the price actually put him in a passive position.

If he offered too little, the seller might think he was messing around.

If he offered too much, he would take a big loss.

But with his life on the line, Yang Yi didn’t have time to haggle and immediately offered the highest price he was willing to accept.

Yang Yi: “Wraith’s Resentment, check the attributes yourself; it’s a high-quality survival item. Plus 400 Shell Coins, 30 units of wood, 58 units of cloth, one loaf of black bread, and 4 litres of freshwater.”

He attached the attributes of Wraith’s Resentment.

After sending it, he waited for a response.

This time, the reply came quickly, just ten seconds later.

“Are you seriously injured?”

Yang Yi frowned after reading the message.

It seemed that the high price he offered had alerted the seller that he was in urgent need of medical supplies.

If the seller tried to raise the price, Yang Yi wouldn’t hesitate to find another one.

After all, Holy Water wasn’t unique!

Fortunately, the situation didn’t turn out that way; instead, a friend request arrived.

【Captain of the Radiant Goddess, Zhou Dai, requests to add you as a friend.】

Yang Yi immediately accepted, and several messages followed.

“You’ve offered a fair price; others were just messing around! I’ll sell it to you! You seem quite injured, so one bottle might not be enough, so I’ll give you two bottles as a welcome gift! My ship can produce Holy Water, so we can work together long-term, hehe! May the Radiance bless you!”

Yang Yi was stunned after reading the message.

He hadn’t expected the trade to go so smoothly!

It seemed the seller also greatly needed survival items like Wraith’s Resentment, which could save lives when facing demonic entities.

Moreover, she wasn’t a profiteering merchant; on the contrary, she seemed a bit kind-hearted?

On the other side, aboard the Radiant Goddess.

It was a pure white, three-masted ship made of sturdy white oak, looking incredibly sacred.

Captain Zhou Dai had golden hair, blue eyes, and a tall, voluptuous figure. She had a delicate Asian face, so was probably of mixed race.

She was in a special room on the ship called the Prayer Chamber, where a statue of the Radiant Goddess was located.

Currently, the ship was only level 1, and the Prayer Chamber could only produce Holy Water.

However, Zhou Dai had a significant problem: sea spirits frequently visited the Radiant Goddess, especially at night!

As a result, she could only hide in the chamber...

So, life-saving items like Wraith’s Resentment were something she could never have too many of!

As long as it gave her time, not much was needed, just enough to hide in the Prayer Chamber...
