Everyone survives in the ocean, I pick up a goddess for vacation Chapter 001

“Holy crap, where did it send me?!”

Lin Hao looked at the boundless, azure sea, his face filled with bewilderment.

He instinctively clutched the rough edge of the wooden raft beneath him. A simple platform, no more than three meters long and two meters wide, was his entire foothold at this moment.

As far as his eyes could see, countless similar rafts floated densely on the sea.

On each raft, a figure, just as lost and bewildered as him, was either curled up or standing.

Just as his head was buzzing, a semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Welcome to the Endless Sea. Your only goal is to survive!]

[The first three days are the novice protection period: calm waters, no extreme weather, no monster attacks.]

[Your mission is to use the grappling hook and paddle on the raft to collect supplies floating on the sea.]

[Upgrade your small raft, this is the core of survival!]

[You can try to cooperate with others, but more people are not necessarily better.]

“System? Survival game?!”

Lin Hao’s eyes widened, and his fingers quickly tapped on the semi-transparent panel.

A shocking truth lay before him!

Billions of people (aged 18- 35) worldwide had been collectively thrown into this Endless Sea by an incomprehensible force!

However, he quickly calmed down. After all, he was an orphan, with no ties or burdens, so it was all the same to him wherever he was.

He looked at the panel, where seven options were clearly arranged: Personal, Ship, Sea Chart, Team, Friends, Chat, Trade.

Clicking on Chat, there was only one regional channel, automatically displaying chat messages from the surrounding one thousand people.

“Holy crap! Raft survival came true?!”

“Brothers, what exactly is going on? Does anyone know the inside story?”

“I’ve read novels about this, but I never thought it would actually happen to me!”

“Damn it! I was taking a shower! Now I’m naked, feeling the sea breeze!!”

“What’s the upstairs guy complaining about? I was in the middle of a sprint! My wife’s gone! I poked myself on the wooden board and almost got scrapped! It hurts so much!!”

“Big bro, you’re too miserable, hahaha!!”

“Honey, where are you? I’m so scared… I’m not wearing anything either…”

“Stop bullshitting! Everyone, tell us what talent you drew? Let’s team up quickly!”

“F-grade talent, Deep Sleep, restores stamina + 10% when sleeping!”

“Sleeping already restores stamina, right? This F-grade is indeed useless!”

“I’m E-grade, Seawater Salt Production, can extract a small amount of salt daily!”

“Holy crap! Divine skill! Girl, where are you? Bro will protect you!”

“F-grade, Brute Force, Strength + 10%!”

…

Lin Hao quickly scanned, his heart sinking.

Most of the talents in the channel were F and E-grade, and occasionally a D-grade would pop up and be hailed as a big shot.

C-grade or higher? None.

Of course, some might be hiding their talents.

He immediately clicked on the “Personal” panel:

[Name: Lin Hao]

[Talent: Click to Draw]

[Constitution: 10 (Overall physical strength, human initial average 10)]

[Spirit: 10 (Overall spiritual strength, human initial average 10)]

[Talent grades can be divided into F~SSS, Legendary, Mythical… The probability of Legendary is one in a hundred million, Mythical is one in ten billion. Do you want to draw now?]

“Draw!”

[Congratulations on obtaining Mythical-grade talent—Infinite Resources.]

“Holy crap!! My… Mythical?!”

Lin Hao sprang up from the raft, almost falling into the sea!

He staggered a few steps before steadying himself, his chest heaving violently, gasping for air.

“One in ten billion… The only one among all humans?! What… what kind of dog-shit luck is this?!”

He forced himself to take a deep breath; the cold air slightly calmed him down. His finger, with a barely perceptible tremble, tapped on the talent details.

[Infinite Resources (Mythical-grade)]

Effect 1: Infinite Space, can store and retrieve inanimate objects infinitely.

Effect 2: Beautiful Companion, for every female crew member with a comprehensive rating ≥ 90 recruited to your ship (requires their voluntary consent), a type of resource supply will be unlocked.

Currently unlocked:

Wood Supply (Mythical-grade): Automatically gain 1 unit of standard wood per second, stored in Infinite Space.

“ 1 unit of wood per second?! Infinite Space?!”

A huge surge of ecstasy instantly overwhelmed Lin Hao!

What did this mean?

It meant that while others were desperately grappling for those elusive, floating boxes, he could lie back and have an endless supply of survival resources!

He immediately looked at the Infinite Space.

Sure enough! Over 180 units of wood were already quietly lying inside!

Almost at the same time he was checking, the number jumped again: 181!

He clicked on the “Ship” panel.

[Small Raft Lv 1 ( 3m x 2m)]

[Upgrade to Lv 2 requirement: Wood 0/100]

“Upgrade!” Lin Hao confirmed without hesitation.

The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded!

The space subtly rippled, and pieces of wood appeared out of thin air, as if controlled by an invisible hand.

They flew precisely to the edge of the raft, making a few soft “crunching” sounds as they seamlessly joined, reinforced, and extended!

In just a few tens of seconds, a brand new 4m x 2m Lv 2 raft appeared beneath his feet, more than twice as stable as before!

“Holy crap!! Bro! How… how did you do that?! Your raft got bigger?!” A scream, so startled it was off-key, came from not far away.

A young man, also struggling on a raft, stared wide-eyed at Lin Hao’s “miraculous” upgrading process, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Lin Hao glanced at him but ignored him.

His gaze fell on the paddle and grappling hook on the raft.

Then he looked at the scattered supply boxes floating on the distant sea, which required effort to hook…

A smile he couldn’t suppress curved his lips.

Snatching boxes? Was that efficiency worthy of his Mythical talent?

With infinite wood as a hard currency, he could completely lie back and trade with others!

The immediate priority was that “Beautiful Companion”!

Female crew members with 90 points or more?

How was this standard measured?

The chat messages clearly didn’t provide an answer.

“I have to find them myself!” Lin Hao’s eyes became sharp and filled with anticipation.

He picked up the paddle and rowed towards the nearest female survivor.

As the raft approached, the woman, who looked to be in her twenties, had an ordinary face filled with fear and exhaustion.

Focusing his gaze, a number quietly appeared above her head: [ 0]

“ 0 points?!” Lin Hao was stunned, a little bewildered.

Even if she wasn’t a great beauty, she shouldn’t be zero points, right?

Was this scoring system so strict?

Without another word, he turned his direction, the paddle slapping the water, and rowed towards another woman who looked younger.

Approaching, focusing…

[ 0]

Another 0 points!

“Hiss…” Lin Hao looked around at the vast sea filled with countless floating rafts. A strong sense of challenge mixed with excitement surged in his heart.

“It seems… the unlock condition for this Mythical talent is much harder than I imagined!”

Just then, an extremely vivid color, completely out of place in this monotonous blue and white world, suddenly pierced his eyes!

Holy crap, the campus belle!!!
