It was already late at night, but the chat channel remained lively.
The mysterious veil over the Bountiful Sea had been lifted, and nearly all players were preparing, some scrambling to buy salt, others purchasing food masks, or evaporating seawater to refine salt.
After Yang Yi finished turning all the food into canned goods, he left the shipâs hold.
He went to the bow deck, adjusted the course and speed, and decided to continue sailing overnight, aiming to reach the previously recorded island coordinates in two days.
After all, it was a route he had taken before, with minimal danger.
On the other hand, the Bountiful Sea behind him was spreading and becoming increasingly hazardous, and Yang Yi had no idea what he might encounter if he delved deeper into it.
After adjusting the course, Yang Yi picked up the crystal ball and headed towards the captainâs cabin, finally beginning to study the newly updated system interface: the Title Panel.
Not only could titles be equipped on the personal panel, but their origins could also be viewed on the Title Panel. However, regardless of which title was equipped, it did not boost combat power, serving only to showcase identity and achievements.
When a player equipped a title and chatted, their nickname would become the title name, and they could choose to hide their game ID (for friends, both the title and real name would be displayed).
Yang Yi opened the Title Panel and found that he had an absurd number of titlesâŚ
ăOne-Eyedă: A unique title recognised by most players.
ăHigh Elder of the Fire Worship Cultă: A title obtained after mastering "Burn With Me."ăThe Great Limb Joineră: A title acquired by fully reading the Book of the Spider, holding a revered status within the Limb Spider Cult.ăDemonic Hunteră: A title earned by slaying a large number of demons.ăThe Blasphemeră: A unique title obtained by repeatedly defying great beings.ăPolluteră: A title gained by unlocking a supernatural path through contamination.ăRabid Wolf Disease Immuneă: A title earned by surviving rabid wolf disease without succumbing to madness.A total of seven titles, but most of them didnât exactly sound noble.
Yang Yi chose the more positive-sounding title, Demonic Hunter, and didnât hide his ID.
ăYouâve received 100,000 Shell Coins.ă - A transfer from Song Yingwen.
â100,000 Shell CoinsâŚâ Yang Yi smacked his lips, finishing off a can of white bread.
Yet he still didnât feel satisfied and reached for another can of white bread. Suddenly, Yang Yi snapped back to his senses and realised there were seven or eight empty bread cans lying at his feet.
His appetite was far beyond normal, and he hadnât even taken any Appetite Magic Potion!
With nothing to chew on, Yang Yi started feeling a bit anxious.
ăCraving sweetness, you are restless, sanity drops by 2.ă
He noticed the anomaly and quickly checked his attribute panel, especially the weight section.
91.5 kg.
In just a few hours, he had gained three kilograms!
Of course, it could just be the weight of the food he had eaten. If his weight didnât decrease by the following day, the suspicion would be confirmed.
Yang Yiâs gaze hardened as he used his formidable willpower to suppress the urge to eat, lying down on the ship to rest.
Fifteen minutes later...
âWell, itâll take two days to sail anyway, how about drinking a bottle of Sleep Magic Potion?â
He suddenly sat up again. The next second, Yang Yi lay back down, with his willpower prevailing once more. After struggling back and forth several times, he finally fell asleep.
âŚ
The day after, Yang Yi groggily woke up and discovered that the number of empty bread cans under his bed had grown to over twenty. Yet he had no idea when he had eaten them! His weight had skyrocketed overnight to 95 kg, and his whole body had become slightly chubby.
ăCraving sweetness,you are restless, sanity drops by 2ă
Yang Yi didnât care much about the sanity reduction, as it recovered at about the same rate. But the nagging anxiety in his heart was awful â he kept unconsciously nibbling on snacks.
Thankfully, there was no delicious fish meat stored in the captainâs cabin, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He had to find a solution before things got worse. Like tying himself up to kick this delicious addiction!
Acting on his thought, he woke up Suna, who was sleeping in the adjacent room.
"You want me to tie you up?"
"Exactly!"
Yang Yi decided to ask Suna to tie him up.
That way, even if he wanted to eat something, he wouldnât be able to!
"Why not try a salt bath? Eating some sea salt might cure that negative status," Suna suggested.
"UhâŚ"
Yang Yi thought of the pufferfish from last night, marinated to perfectionâŚ
Its once plump skin had shrivelled into wrinkles â a stark contrast, like the difference between a babyâs smooth face and an old manâs wrinkled one.
Objectively speaking, Yang Yi didnât want to end up the same way, pickled like a salted fish. However, at that moment, it seemed he had no choice! Suna wouldnât harm him, probablyâŚ
Yang Yi gritted his teeth and agreed. First, though, it was necessary to check Yang Yiâs body.
Since the previous tests were all done on long-legged sardines, there was no guarantee that human reactions would be the same.
The actual test results left Yang Yi dumbfounded. His stamina was at least 1.5 times higher than before! Although the number still read 100, Yang Yi, who had trained his body for a long time, knew himself inside out!
After high-intensity exercise for two hours, it was impossible to consume only 20 stamina points. It should have been at least 30 stamina!
"First stage: almost all positive enhancements, becoming more energetic and full of stamina," Suna recorded.
"Did your attributes increase?" she asked.
Yang Yi checked his stats and shook his head.
Other than increased stamina and a stronger appetite, his body showed no other abnormalities. If he had to say, it was that he had become prone to gaining weight.
"Maybe you just havenât eaten enough, so the boost isnât obvious," Suna replied.
She dropped the idea of making Yang Yi eat a piece of delicious fish and shifted to trying to treat him.
âŚâŚ..
Half an hour later, in the witchâs laboratory.
Yang Yi lay on a metal table. Underneath it were large amounts of sea salt, brought in by Suna with the help of the bone arms.
Once the preparations were done, the salt packages were opened, revealing snow-white sea salt inside.
Although also white, unlike the white sugar blocks extracted from seawater, this powdered sea salt gave off a fishy, oceanic smell.
Smelling too much of it didnât stimulate appetite; it actually made people feel like vomiting, Because it contained many impurities.
Together, Suna and the bone arms began sprinkling salt evenly over Yang Yi, as if they were salting pork. But Yang Yi was restless and agitated.
You couldnât blame him. Anyone would struggle if another person was salting them for preservation. Especially after witnessing the pufferfishâs tragic fate!
"Stop moving!" Suna scolded.
A lot of the sea salt was knocked to the ground by Yang Yi.
"You got salt in my eyes!"
"Close your eyes!"
Fifteen minutes later.
A ring of bricks was built around the metal table so the salt inside wouldnât spill out.
Yang Yi was buried in salt, leaving only his nose exposed for breathing.His mouth was also full of salt because Suna had force-fed him a large mouthful.
The overwhelming salty, fishy smell completely smothered Yang Yiâs appetite, leaving him with no desire to eat anything, not even delicious food.
