Grand Voyage: Surviving on a Ghost Ship

Yang Yi picked up the vending capsules.

【Name: Tiny Worm Ring】【Type: Relic】【Quality: Premium】【Description: A tiny pale worm that persistently clings to your body and is difficult to remove. It provides a one-cubic-metre storage space inside.】

“A space ring?” Yang Yi’s eyes lit up.

Items like this for spatial storage were always useful and never too many!

When he picked it up…

Slurp! Slurp!

A pale worm, as thin as a pinky finger and about 1cm long, clung to Yang Yi’s right thumb. Shaped like a cone, it resembled a tiny horn snack but moved like a living creature.

Yang Yi froze for about three seconds before snapping out of it.

“Actually, this isn’t bad. At least it won’t get lost easily!”

It took him considerable effort and the sacrifice of a small piece of skin to pull the tiny worm off. 

He then placed it around the base of his left pinky and tested it.

The effect was decent — it didn’t interfere with finger movements and was almost unnoticeable. As long as he didn’t look at it...

From now on, items like potions, short weapons, and darts could all be stored in it!

After wearing the ring, Yang Yi picked up the second vending capsule.

He obtained a consumable item.

【Name: Pale Worm Hand Cannon】【Type: Consumable】【Quality: Premium】【Description: A one-time-use hand cannon that can release a massive pale worm tentacle, swallowing everything in its path. However, ensure you don’t get sucked in when using it.】

Yang Yi examined it with satisfaction.

It resembled a white plastic toy cannon with a childlike design.

But its description mentioned a massive worm tentacle — likely with considerable destructive power! Perfect for emergencies.

He stored the hand cannon in the worm ring and picked up the third capsule.

【You obtained 200 Shell Coins.】

The vending capsule disappeared in front of Yang Yi, adding 200 coins to his account.

Compared to the first two capsules, the last one was...underwhelming (not completely worthless, but close).

From the third vending onward, the rewards became noticeably dull.

Just then, Suna opened the door and walked out.

Fully bundled up in a sweater, thermal trousers, and a down jacket, she looked flushed, with her head tucked into her collar.

“Achoo!”

Suna’s sneeze caught Yang Yi’s attention.

“You’ve caught a cold?” he asked.

“It’s not serious,” she replied indifferently, crouching to pick up the pale worm larva on the deck.

“Take it easy. You can handle that later when you’ve recovered!” Yang Yi suggested.

He could tell that Suna wanted to take the little creature to her lab for examination.

“I know. I just want to find a container to hold it for now,” Suna responded as she struggled to pull the pale worm larva.

But the little creature extended over a dozen tentacles, gripping tightly onto the deck and the skeletal arm with a strong survival instinct.

Suna’s expression turned cold as she drew a knife, cut off most of its tentacles — leaving only one — and dragged the pale worm larva toward her lab.

The incident with the pale worms came to a close, but there was still much to be done.

First, a post-battle review and reflection were in order.

Yang Yi felt that he had been too careless!

Letting the ship sail on its own at night was far too risky — especially in a special sea area.

Thankfully, no disaster occurred, and it could even be seen as a blessing in disguise.

From then on, if no one was on deck at night, it would be best to either anchor the ship or have someone alternate shifts to keep watch while sailing.

Next was repairing the ship, as the collision had caused its durability to drop by 2,452 points, requiring repairs.

Luckily, the Nightmare Star had a self-repair function. Once the damage was reduced to under 2,000 points, the ship could handle the rest of the repairs on its own, and the materials needed weren’t excessive.

Moreover, repairing it was simple. The ship’s free skeletal arms could be given hammers to fix themselves.

Yang Yi roughly calculated the repair speed and estimated that by evening, the Nightmare Star’s durability would recover to about half.

Finally, there was the matter of dealing with the loot floating on the sea.

Excluding the three vending capsules already consumed, there were still 28 left.

Bringing all the pale worms onboard wasn’t feasible since they were large creatures, and the ship’s cargo hold could only fit a few.

After some thought, Yang Yi decided to keep two of the largest ones and convert the rest into vending capsules.

【You obtained: Wood ×25】【You obtained: Black Bread ×5】【You obtained: Steel ×5】

While Yang Yi was salvaging the pale worm corpses, he heard movement behind him.

It was Suna, returning from the lab.

Judging by her appearance, she had already dealt with the pale worm larva.

However, her complexion seemed worse — her cheeks were flushed red, and she was hunched over.

Yang Yi opened the crew interface to check on her status.

Her stats were stable, but her condition was listed as having a cold, likely from catching a chill.

Yang Yi handed her a bottle of transparent liquid.

“Drink this; it should help with the cold.”

It was holy water he had picked up on an island earlier, with one bottle remaining. Its effects were all-encompassing, meaning it would be effective against a cold.

Suna accepted it, drank it in front of Yang Yi, and then turned back to her room, seemingly to rest.

Yang Yi didn’t press further and continued retrieving the corpses from the sea.

What he didn’t know was...

After Suna returned to her room, she retrieved a container and spat the holy water back into it.

“Blessed water... Perhaps this could work.”

She stared at the translucent liquid in her hand, deep in thought.

...

About two hours later, Yang Yi had salvaged all the pale worm corpses scattered across the sea and deck.

Most of them were converted into vending capsules, leaving only the two largest specimens to be stored in the cargo hold, where they were crammed together.

Adult specimens of the pale worms had 30 to 40 tentacles each, with lengths ranging from 50 to 100 metres.

Thankfully, many of their tentacles had been severed. Otherwise, the Nightmare Star’s cargo hold wouldn’t have been able to fit them.

Yang Yi took a photo for his log.

To enhance its authenticity, he staged the shot by placing a complete tentacle prominently in the frame, focusing on its mouth, its main body, and the internal organs spilling out after it was ruptured.

After finishing, Yang Yi felt the effect was great. The captain of the news ship would likely be satisfied. 

With everything done, he returned to the deck to deal with the remaining vending capsules.

He had been too busy salvaging earlier, so there were still over a dozen capsules left unexamined.

【You obtained: Cloth ×10】【You obtained: Steel ×5】【You obtained: Black Bread ×2】

【You obtained: Black Iron Resource Chest ×1】

Most of the rewards were materials, food, and a small amount of seashell coins.

The Black Iron Resource Chest, however, was a pleasant surprise. Similar to one he had obtained before, opening it yielded a large amount of resources:

Wood ×200, Cloth ×200, Fuel ×200, Steel ×100, Crystal ×100, Sulphur ×100

Yang Yi thought that was the end of it, but when he picked up the last vending capsule, it turned out to be a tool — a fishing rod!
