Yang Yi obtained a rare piece of equipnt, one that perford exceptionally well in the Extre Winter Sea!
【Na: Life Fireplace】
【Type: Ship Equipnt (Relic)】【Quality: Rare】【Description: A special fireplace that can be ignited by offering living creatures. It can be installed on the wall of any room. Occasionally emits a "Life Light" that increases the rate of attribute gain for players, except for ntal attributes.】
The fireplace could be installed in a room to increase its temperature. During the frigid winter, it would have significant effects.
The ignition requirents were relatively simple — you just had to toss in a living creature! The easiest option was to throw in a live long-legged sardine.
Moreover, the fireplace ca with a chimney, so there wasn't any need to worry about exhaust filling the room or the flas spreading.
Yang Yi planned to install it as soon as his vision recovered. Afterwards, he intended to fish for so long-legged sardines to stock up as fuel.
He decided to consult Suna before deciding where to install it.
"It’s getting late. You should return to your room and rest. Prepare yourself ntally for the harsh cold, as the temperature in the Extre Winter Sea will only continue to drop," Yang Yi instructed.
He then returned to the captain's cabin and lay down to rest.
In his state of blindness, there wasn’t much he could do besides checking his logs and browsing the world chat channel.
Complaints about the system’s abrupt acceleration of the Extre Winter Sea’s expansion were still trending. Most players were caught unprepared for the sudden changes.
Taking advantage of the stable market, Yang Yi spent 11,000 Shell Coins to purchase 2,000 units of wood, thus saving ti and effort.
Then he dealt with previously acquired equipnt and prepared to buy so new gear.
The wind attribute hunting bow could be kept for Suna, while the old pirate longbow would serve as a backup and wasn’t worth selling imdiately.
As for other weapons:
Regarding armour, he decided to keep the chainmail.
The plate armour, on the other hand, would be repaired the following day. If it could be restored to a wearable condition, it would fetch a good price, as it was far more valuable than ordinary gear.
With these thoughts, Yang Yi drifted off to sleep.
…
The next morning, Yang Yi woke up on schedule, and his vision had fully recovered.
He attempted to open the cabin door but encountered resistance.
After exerting so effort, he managed to push it open.
Outside, the deck was piled knee-deep with snow. The icy wind howled, making him shrink his neck in response to the cold.
He imdiately checked the weather information:
Today’s Weather:
Bone-chilling winds; fishing yields will decrease. Rember to wear warm clothing to avoid hypothermia.
Location: Sea od Origin (Extre Winter Sea)
Remaining Sunlight: 9 hours
Temperature: -4°C to 0°C
Wind Force: Level 4
“Already -4 degrees?” Yang Yi frowned.
He returned to the captain's cabin and put on a wool sweater, wool trousers, a cotton hat, and long plush boots before stepping outside.
The snow on the deck was thick, crunching underfoot as he walked, and it continued to fall, showing no signs of stopping.
Yang Yi decided to clear it off the deck, as it posed safety risks and hindered movent.
“These snowflakes…they should be freshwater, right?”
He grabbed a handful of snow, sniffed it, and then licked it.
The lted snow was tasteless.
“It’s freshwater.”
Yang Yi commanded the skeletal arm to pile the snow in a designated area on the deck, sweeping the excess into the sea.
After all, there was too much snow, and Yang Yi couldn’t lt and boil it all in ti. If it piled too high and affected the ship's stability and mobility, it would be counterproductive.
He decided to install the fireplace and use it to boil water inside the cabin to obtain fresh water.
Yang Yi went to the bow of the ship to observe the sea.
In the distance, small, thin ice floes were starting to appear.
The thin, fragile ice sheets posed no threat to the Nightmare Star, but as the ship moved further, they would likely grow larger. Inevitably, the ship could collide with them.
Fortunately, the Nightmare Star was special; it could ignore minor damage since its durability would recover automatically. The key was to avoid larger icebergs or massive floes.
While he was pondering this, the door to Suna’s room opened.
She stepped out, curling up slightly as if debating whether to put on a down jacket.
After moving around a bit, she seed to adapt to the cold. The fire-weave sweater she wore provided better warmth than she had expected.
Her initial reaction of curling up was simply a reflex to the sight of a lot of snow, which instinctively made her feel cold.
“Suna, I was just about to find you. I drew a fireplace yesterday. Take a look and see where it would be best to install it.”
Yang Yi shared the fireplace’s information with Suna.
If installed in the captain’s cabin, it would primarily benefit that room.
Alternatively, if installed in Suna’s room, it wouldn’t affect the adjacent captain’s cabin.
After a brief discussion, they decided to cut a hole in the wall and install the fireplace between the two rooms, like a shared wall-mounted air conditioner in a co-living space.
However, the hole needed to be large since the fireplace was quite sizeable.
After settling on the plan, Yang Yi got to work. He used a long-handled axe to chop into the wooden wall.
Once the hole was the right size, he smoothed it out with the sharp blade of the sea serpent’s fang.
When he finished, he mounted the Life Fireplace. The structure of the two rooms transford.
A large fireplace now stood between them, with a design that exuded an ancient charm, made of black bricks and stones.
It even had a lid to extinguish the fire when closed.
The roof also underwent changes, with a new chimney connected to the fireplace that bent slightly at the top to prevent rain and snow from entering.
As for the opening in the wall, Yang Yi made sure it was wide enough to prevent accidental burns from the lit fireplace.
“Let’s test it out,” Yang Yi said, crossing his arms cautiously as he eyed the fireplace.
After all, it was a relic, and there was always the possibility that igniting it would produce an unexpected effect, such as radiating cold air instead of warmth, like a black beast baring its fangs.
“Suna, do you still have a live spider? Bring one over to test it,” Yang Yi suggested.
Since there were no other suitable live creatures on the ship, Yang Yi couldn’t exactly throw himself into the fireplace.
Fishing would take too long, so he rembered Suna’s collection of spiders.
A few minutes later, Suna returned from the witch’s lab with a young fire-weave spider.
“There are only eight left. I can give you one at most; I need the rest,” she said, handing the spider to Yang Yi.
“Don’t worry. I’ll raise so long-legged sardines later specifically for lighting fires!”
Yang Yi carefully took the spider, gripping it by its back to avoid being bitten, and tossed it into the Life Fireplace, where wood had already been placed.
