Others try to survive on an island, I try to survive on a raft?

Chapter 79 The Bronze Sparrow Terrace on the Sea

Inside the cabin, Lin Xuan, who initially had her buttocks sticking out, is now able to lie flat on her back.

It has to be said, the things in this world are truly amazing.

She had never seen a medicine in her life that could reduce swelling and relieve pain so quickly.

Actually, when Su Jin and Lao Zhang were making their deal, she vaguely overheard some things in the cabin.

She had actually finished eating long ago, but she was feeling a bit weak and was resting in the cabin.

Of course, it was also because the captain was discussing business, and she couldn't interfere, but there was no rule against her eavesdropping.

The main function of this ice jellyfish is to cool the body and relieve pain and swelling, which is a bit of a waste of its potential.

I've heard that if you just cut a small piece of this and eat it, it can quickly lower your body temperature and make you exceptionally clear-headed.

Using it for external application is really a waste.

But it was precisely because of this waste that she held Su Jin in high regard, at least he genuinely cared about the crew and didn't treat them as cannon fodder.

What's this called?

There is at least a little bit of team cohesion, which is a painful experience she had in college.

When assigning group projects, everyone passes the work to each other, and in the end, no one finishes. That's what she hates the most.

"Phew, that feels so good~"

Lin Xuan let out a long sigh of relief, lay down comfortably, and closed her eyes. The cool sensation made her feel sleepy, which was understandable since she hadn't had a good rest these past few days.

But she had only dozed off for a short while when Su Jin's annoying voice came from outside.

"Just a heads up, we're almost there."

Lin Xuan frowned. She was feeling comfortable, but despite her gentle demeanor, she could be grumpy in the morning!

Seeing that there was nothing in the cabin, Su Jin added:

"You still can't move? It's okay, I can carry you off the boat later..."

"No, we don't need to!" Lin Xuan's angry voice came from inside the cabin, and then the beautiful woman was seen limping out.

Unfortunately, the pants were on, so the legs couldn't be seen.

Su Jin looked regretful; it would be so nice if those long legs could wear black stockings.

Lin Xuan ignored his undisguised gaze, walked to Su Jin's side, sat down in a duck-like position, and even let out a muffled groan.

She looked up at Su Jin and asked with some curiosity:

"Captain, tell me about our ship's strength, such as how many admirals we have and how large our territory is?"

Su Jin was taken aback. Come to think of it, he now had a team of his own, and Lin Xuan was one of the members he had officially recruited. He hadn't told her any of this yet.

He coughed lightly and looked straight ahead as he said:

"Besides me, the captain, there are three other generals, all capable women. You should get along well with them."

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, but then she sensed something was off, and her gaze towards Su Jin held a new intensity.

There are currently four crew members, all of whom are women, with only the captain being male...

What kind of "Bronze Sparrow Terrace on the Sea" is this...?

Su Jin also sensed the unfriendly gaze. He didn't meet Lin Xuan's eyes, but calmly said:

"It was all just a coincidence. They were actually the first vulnerable groups I encountered. A mother and daughter were struggling to survive and sought my help. The other one... I still managed to save her."

"In short, we banded together for mutual support, and eventually, with me at the center, we concentrated our resources to help me upgrade, forming a fleet."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Xuan and said:

"Don't overthink it. Things aren't as bad as you think."

Lin Xuan pursed her lips, giving her a "you think I believe that?" look, but still said:

"I didn't say anything. I'm not that kind of dirty person."

Although that's what they say and what their eyes say, they actually have a different thought in their hearts.

She believed the man's story; otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting here right now, but rather being pinned down in the cabin screaming.

Su Jin, in turn, gave him a look that seemed to say, "Do you think I believe that?" Back in the rear cabin, he acted like he knew everything, and wasn't he also quite despicable...

Tsk, women!

He looked away and continued:

"Let's talk about territory. Actually, the territory we own is not small. We used to have three large islands, each of which was twice the size of yours."

"So many!" Lin Xuan was immediately shocked, and her heart was filled with even more longing for the future... no, wait.

"Before? What do you mean by 'before'? And now? How much territory is left?"

She discovered the blind spot and noticed something amiss in Su Jin's words.

When asked this, Su Jin remained calm and composed, and said in a serious tone:

"We abandoned one island because its resources were almost completely depleted, leaving it with little value. Now we have two remaining islands."

"A forested island covered in trees, with abundant timber resources, is our main base."

"The other one is a stone island with stone as the main feature, and black coal scattered all over the place, with a large coal mine underground."

At this point, he couldn't help but smile slightly:

"These two islands, one provides a large amount of timber and the other has a large amount of coal. The former is the main resource, and the latter is an essential strategic material to resist cold waves."

"Our fleet has top-notch equipment. Oh, and I haven't told you about the talents of our three female captains yet."

"They are a marine expert, a chef, and a craftswoman, respectively; they are all top talents."

As he spoke, he briefly explained the three men's abilities to Lin Xuan, which stunned the female college student.

"Wow, our setup is so luxurious!" Lin Xuan exclaimed in a daze, then a hint of inferiority flashed in her eyes.

Currently, she seems to be the most useless one. She sounds very talented, but she hasn't actually tried it herself.

What she told Su Jin before was actually somewhat exaggerated.

She possesses extensive alchemical knowledge, but it's also alchemical knowledge—she knows how to create those magical things, but she doesn't know their specific effects.

She didn't say this out loud. She wanted to act all high and mighty, but when she compared herself to others, she realized that she was actually the weakest one.

Isn't it said that the world is full of makeshift operations?

How come this team has such a strong foundation!

She glanced at Su Jin somewhat guiltily, then dared not utter a word. She would only have the right to say something after she achieved something herself.

Actually, Su Jin didn't care that Lin Xuan didn't have anything worth mentioning in the early stages; he was a reasonable person.

Everyone says he's a late-game carry, so what if he doesn't contribute much in the early game? Just use resources to nurture him and use him as much as he can.

Even if it's useless, I still have a chemistry graduate student status, so I can still be useful as a laborer.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding seawater had turned emerald green, and he was immediately overjoyed.

He glanced at Lin Xuan and said, "..."

"Look around, the seawater has turned green, we're about to dock. Let's prepare to introduce ourselves."
