I have a big ball of light

Chapter 26 Ocean Drifting (End)

In the haziness, a slightly harsh scream reached Claude's ears, and he felt something passing before his eyes.

Thinking of his situation before falling asleep, Claude suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He immediately sat up and looked around. Several frightened seagulls fluttered their wings and flew into the blue sky from the rescue boat.

Rubbing his eyes, he waited until his blurred vision returned to normal. He was still surrounded by the endless sea, with no rescue team or passing freighter.

He turned his head and glanced at Serena next to him. She was still sleeping peacefully next to him.

Claude stretched out his hand to tidy up the girl's messy hair, and put the back of his hand against her forehead to measure her temperature.

Inflammation caused by post-traumatic infection can easily lead to life-threatening injuries, and fever is one of the consequences of inflammation.

Claude felt the temperature on the back of his hand. Serena's body temperature was within the normal range, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have time to check the prompts flashing in his retina.

The "encounter" mission of "Challenge from the Sea of ​​the Sea" was naturally successfully completed at this time. While facing huge life risks, the rewards gained were also huge.

After completing the task, three rewards were directly issued: new items in the mall: physical strengthening potion; new skills in the mall: whisper of the soul; the body search function was added to the KFC luxury family bucket, bah, cross it out, it is a holographic auxiliary system package.

Faster, higher, and stronger are the common pursuits of all life.

However, in many cases, their fragile bodies limit their limits.

In order to break through their own limits, people have thought of countless methods, and physical strengthening potions are one of the products.

As its name suggests, the physique strengthening potion can strengthen the user's physique after injection. These enhancements include but are not limited to the user's body's recovery ability, resistance, endurance, lifespan, etc.

This agent is suitable for any carbon-based life and does not require any adaptation testing.There are no side effects for the user, and there is no need to worry about turning into a deformed or muscular monster after the injection.

Users can maintain the most perfect body shape in their minds.However, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to repeatedly inject this kind of medicine to strengthen the physique without limit. The physical strengthening medicine will only work the first time it is injected.

If you want to go further, you need to inject a higher level of physical strengthening medicine.

Four levels of physical strengthening potions a, b, c, and d have been added to the mall. The prices are: level d: 1000 essence; level c: 5000 essence; level b: 20000 essence; level a: 50000 essence. quality.

Before injecting a higher level of physical strengthening potion, the current physical fitness must be raised to the maximum value.Can be detected through the body detection function

Compared to the super soldier potion that can directly turn a skinny little bean sprout like Steve Rogers into a big-muscled super soldier, the function of the physical strengthening potion is more like a prop in the game that increases the upper limit of blood volume.

If the health bar is long enough, other attributes can be improved unscrupulously.

As for how to improve your physical fitness, of course you need to exercise. You only need 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day.

Yes, this is Saitama’s 310 exercise method in the anime One Punch Man. Of course, if you just like to lift iron, no one will stop it.

As for the whisper of the mind, this is the first "superpower" that appeared in the mall after Claude came to the Marvel Universe, and there is a high probability that this skill was obtained from Autoria.

According to the introduction in the system mall, this superpower uses the power of the mind to make any thinking creature within a certain range listen to the user's voice.

Literally, this is a tactic used to disturb people's quiet ears, but I've seen people go crazy on cruise ships.Claude understood that it was more than just a sound for living creatures.

If you want to learn this superpower, you need to have a certain amount of spiritual talent.

Like the physical enhancement potion, the Whisper of the Mind is also divided into four levels, with prices of 500 Essence; 2500 Essence; 10000 Essence; and 25000 Essence.

However, Claude now had two conspicuous zeros in his balance column, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile. Ottolia, this annoying little goblin, had completely drained him dry this time.

If you want to obtain the source of essence in this untouched sea, you can only wait for the arrival of next month. The system is still very punctual in issuing monthly "salary".

What makes Claude fortunate is that the items in the system mall do not have the D, C, B, A, or S-level side plots required in infinite horror novels. The selling prices of items only increase in price.

Otherwise, the subsequent troubles would be enough for him to eat up. Claude didn't want to be led by endless tasks every day. The online game EverQuest was a failure in the Rabbit Country.

With no money in his pocket, Claude stopped drooling while looking at the mall. He shook the clothes drying on the edge of the bed. The tiny white salt particles looked like colorful dandruff under the sunlight.

He put the pickled clothes randomly on his body and began to organize the supplies on the rescue boat.

This is a rigid rescue boat that is 6.1 meters long and 2.2 meters wide and can carry 8 people. After some searching, it was found.

Claude found four floating oars, two hand axes, a large number of cans and compressed biscuits, about 25 liters of fresh water, four parachute rockets, six hand-held Red Fires, a radar reflector, etc.

There is even a complete set of fishing tools, which is a delight for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, it is enough for two people to eat and drink within a month.

There are strict regulations on the various items equipped on the rescue boat. They must be equipped in accordance with the international life-saving equipment standard LSA. In film and television works, food and water are cut off in a short period of time, either because of quality problems or because of plot needs.

Just like this time, no matter how hard Claude looked, he couldn't find the medical kit on the rescue boat.

The rescue boat is also equipped with a diesel motor that allows it to reach a top speed of 22 knots.The diesel stored in the motor is enough for six hours of driving at a constant speed.

Awakened by the movement made by Claude, Serena rubbed her eyes, squinted and said lazily:

"Good morning, magician." After hearing the girl's words, Claude looked up at the sun that was about to set, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Yes, good morning, little girl."

Serena raised her arm and accidentally touched the wound on her waist, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"Sigh~~~~~~"

Claude hurried over, carefully helped her up, let her sit up against the edge of the boat, and asked with concern:

"How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally touched the wound."

Serena glanced at the exposed skin, with a hint of blush on her pale face, and whispered:

"Can you bring my clothes?"

Claude held the girl's clothes, awkwardly gestured in front of her, and said awkwardly:

"Do you want me to help you?" A book was deleted again here

After a period of hectic ambiguity, Claude glanced at the sun that was about to set over the sea. Then he remembered that the two of them had not eaten since last night and asked:

“Are you hungry?”

"A bit."

Ele.me offers ten times as much as Meituan offers. Claude turned around and rummaged through the organized supplies for food, silently complaining in his mind.

Open the can with a can opener and hand it to Serena.

"Canned beef, replenishes blood."

Taking the can that was handed to her, Serena patted the empty space beside her.

How could a beautiful woman refuse to agree to a date? Claude happily sat down next to the girl.He wanted to find something to talk about, but seeing the girl eating the canned food, he decisively shut his mouth.

The two of them carried forward the ancient tradition of eating without speaking, and did not say a word during the entire meal.

After helping the girl clean up the canned food, Claude began to look for topics to deepen their relationship. What else could a man and a woman do if they were alone?

"You seem to know me very well." The girl rolled her eyes.

"Don't be so pretentious, that's all the news you got from reading the newspapers, okay? I'm a native New Yorker, and most of the country knows about your lawsuit."

"Really? However, this is very unfair to me. You know so much information about me, but I still don't even know your complete name."

What if you run away again after being rescued and I can't find you? This is Claude's biggest concern.

"I'm currently in college at Harvard Business School."

The girl raised her head proudly, but in Claude's opinion, she was changing the subject.

"yes"

The chat entered the tug-of-war phase, and Claude pretended to be very interested, propped up his arms and prepared to adjust his sitting position.

The palm of her hand touched something soft, and when she lowered her head, she saw that it was the girl's white Rouyi. The girl's body froze.

Raising his head along his arm, the girl's eyes happened to look over, and the two eyes met, and the words Claude wanted to say stopped.

A gust of waves blew up the rescue boat. The girl seemed to come back to her senses. She suddenly took out her hand and lowered her head to straighten her bangs that were messed up by the sea breeze. The boy also retracted his hand and touched his ears awkwardly.

"you"

"you"

Two voices sounded at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled, letting out bursts of laughter, floating on the boundless ocean.

The two of them chatted while the sun slowly merged into the sea level.The gentle sunshine turns the entire sea surface into a golden color.As described in ancient poetry:

"A ray of setting sun spreads over the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red."

Several unknown seabirds hovered above the rescue boat, making bursts of calls.The girl slowly and gently leaned her head on the boy's shoulder, feeling the girl's movements and smelling the fragrance coming from the girl's body.

The boy slowly, stiffly, and firmly stretched out his right hand, put his arm around the girl's shoulder, turned his head, and slowly leaned into the girl.

The rescue boat faced the sunset that was about to end on the seaside. The two people, two hands, and two hearts slowly came together. The girl leaning against the boy suddenly said softly:

"king."

"Yeah" the boy looked at the girl doubtfully.

"King Serena."

The boy turned his head and faced the girl face to face. A bright smile appeared on his face. It was so beautiful under the golden light. The boy was stunned and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

On the sparkling sea, the lips of the two people were getting closer and closer, and the semicircle of the setting sun was blocking their figures.
