Everyone survives in the ocean, I pick up a goddess for vacation Chapter 012

“It can still grow!?”

This is definitely a treasure!

Lin Hao couldn’t wait to pick up an empty plastic bottle and stuff it into the entrance at the top of the device.

Buzz!

The surface of the device glowed green, and a faint mechanical whirring sound came from within.

A moment later, with a soft click, a small plastic cube was “pulled” out.

[Decomposition successful, obtained 0.1 unit of plastic]

“This efficiency! It’s amazing!” Lin Hao looked at the small plastic cube, his eyes shining. This meant a continuous source of materials!

“What a cute little robot!” Xia Yingluo was also attracted by this magical process and cute appearance, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

The two simultaneously turned to each other, their arms instinctively raised, their faces overflowing with pure joy.

But remembering the awkwardness just now, their arms, raised halfway, froze, and the smiles on their faces solidified into subtle expressions.

Their gazes, as if electrocuted, darted away. One pretended to stare intently at the deck at their feet, while the other looked up at the sky.

“Um…” Xia Yingluo’s gaze drifted towards the sea, “Um… I, I’ll continue fishing for treasure chests. This precious device… I’ll leave it to you!”

“Alright… alright!” Lin Hao immediately retracted his gaze and lowered his head to fiddle with the futuristic recycling device. “Now, the materials needed for the thruster finally have a source!”

He casually stuffed the dagger he had exchanged earlier into the entrance.

The device flashed green, and the familiar sound of precise operation began.

A few seconds later, a sharp-edged metal cube was pulled out.

[Decomposition successful, obtained 0.3 units of metal]

“Interesting!” Lin Hao’s interest grew. With a hint of curiosity, he casually grabbed a pack of instant noodles and stuffed it in.

Buzz—!

A dazzling red light suddenly flared!

“Beep beep! Cannot decompose!”

The device shook violently, emitting a short, spitting sound, like a “pah”!

The pack of instant noodles, as if it were despised trash, was precisely ejected upwards, landing squarely on his face!

“Pfft—!” Xia Yingluo’s deliberately suppressed but clear laughter came from behind him.

Lin Hao reached out and caught the sliding instant noodles, looking at the device, whose red light was gradually fading, as if it were “pouting.” He rubbed his nose, feeling helpless and amused.

“Not only is this little guy picky, but he also has quite a temper and is very vengeful.”

However, this “emotional” action did not make him angry; instead, it made him even more overjoyed.

It indicated that this device was definitely not just a cold mechanical creation!

Next, Lin Hao completely transformed into a king of scrap collection, diving headfirst into the live stream.

His goal was clear: anything with metal, he would accept!

A rusty iron sword? Exchange! A chipped axe? Exchange!

Some people even brought a melodica and a few small metal toys to ask, and he still accepted them without question.

To him, these were no longer tools or toys, but raw material gift packages gleaming with metallic luster!

The corner of the cabin soon piled up with a small mountain of junk. He sat cross-legged beside Galaxy One, like an efficient assembly line worker, stuffing items in one by one.

Buzz—buzz—buzz—

The device’s green light flickered on and off, and one metal cube, one plastic cube after another, was continuously “pulled” out, with astonishing efficiency.

[Decomposition successful, obtained 1.2 units of metal]

[Decomposition successful, obtained 0.3 units of metal]

[Decomposition successful, obtained 0.1 units of plastic]

…

Lin Hao looked at the basic material cubes piling up at a visible speed, his heart burning.

This efficiency was more than an order of magnitude faster than collecting standard metal materials!

The device, named “Galaxy One,” was now like a glittering god of wealth in his eyes.

Time passed, the temperature grew hotter, and the sun passed overhead.

When the last small metal cube clinked down, Lin Hao let out a long sigh of relief.

The 200 units of steel and 10 units of plastic needed for the thruster were not only gathered, but there was even a slight surplus!

Even more to his surprise, during the “scrap treasure hunt” in the live stream, he even unexpectedly exchanged for a small barrel of precious gasoline!

He also gained a good amount of Body Tempering Pills and Soul Cleansing Pills, with his physique attribute rising to 20 and his mental attribute rising to 18.

Power surged within him, his muscle lines subtly bulging in the high temperature, as if containing explosive energy.

His mind was clear, and his perception spread out like invisible ripples, capturing every minute detail of the surrounding environment with utmost clarity.

On this scorching sea, his physical and mental state reached an unprecedented peak.

[Materials are complete. Do you want to synthesize the gasoline propeller thruster?]

“Synthesize!” Lin Hao confirmed without hesitation.

Buzz—!

Soon, a thruster gleaming with cold metallic light condensed into shape!

[Gasoline propeller thruster synthesized successfully!]

Lin Hao immediately opened the “Ship” option and selected “Install.”

At the stern of the boat, the deck structure silently split open to form a perfectly fitting opening.

The brand-new thruster slid precisely into the interface, and with a “click” locking sound, it was seamlessly embedded into the hull.

An indescribable excitement and anticipation rose in Lin Hao’s heart. The key to conquering this endless sea was now in his hands!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and carefully poured the gasoline into the fuel port.

After confirming everything was correct, he gripped the cold pull cord and yanked it hard!

“Boom—!!!”

A violent engine roar suddenly tore through the muggy afternoon sea!

The small wooden boat, which had been lazily bobbing in the waves, suddenly lifted its bow!

The next second, the entire boat, like an arrow released from a bowstring, sliced through the sea at a speed unmatched by any surrounding raft, speeding forward!

The waves split by the sides of the boat rose high, forming two brief and spectacular hydrofoils!

This sudden roar and high-speed movement instantly ignited the nearby sea!

“Holy crap! Holy crap!! He… he even has a thruster?! Is this guy cheating?!”

“Oh my god! Who?! Who made a jet ski?!”

“This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! My little wooden raft just reached level 2!”

…

The immense force of the boat’s sudden acceleration made the unprepared Xia Yingluo exclaim, losing her balance instantly and stumbling backward!

In her panic, she tried to grab the gunwale to steady herself, but her foot tripped over something!

Her body completely lost control, and with a “thud,” she fell heavily to her knees on the deck!

Even worse, with the inertia of the fall, her head, without any deviation, got stuck directly in the narrow space between Lin Hao’s legs!

“Ah—!” Xia Yingluo sprang up as if electrocuted, her cheeks instantly red like a cooked shrimp. She glared at Lin Hao, both embarrassed and annoyed, “You definitely did that on purpose! Didn’t you?!”

However, the only answer she received was the deafening roar of the engine.

Lin Hao was fully focused on controlling the thruster and hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Seeing his lack of reaction, the slight embarrassment and annoyance in Xia Yingluo’s chest were quickly blown away by the violent sea wind hitting her face.

She held onto the gunwale and stood up, her gaze sweeping over the figures behind them, getting smaller and smaller on the sea, struggling to paddle their rafts like ants.

A great sense of relief and a strong feeling of superiority, like a warm current, instantly washed away the previous awkwardness.

The corners of Xia Yingluo’s mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

Indeed, clinging to this powerful figure was the wisest decision since she had transmigrated!
