Ye Zhongming had a bit of a toothache. Although the Battle Beast Egg was nice, it was ultimately not what he needed. The magic crystal he had on hand was only enough for one more spin.
He didn’t check what the Battle Beast Egg was; instead, Ye Zhongming put it away and continued spinning the roulette.
Even though he didn’t get the Seven-Star Evolution Potion or the Blue Water Rock fishing boat, the Battle Beast Egg was unique. After it was spun out, it disappeared from the roulette rewards, leaving only four options.
Ye Zhongming took a deep breath and began the final spin.
The pointer flew rapidly across the four rewards. Ye Zhongming couldn’t shake the feeling that the roulette was deliberately teasing him, as this spin lasted unusually long.
When the pointer finally slowed down, Ye Zhongming raised his eyebrows. Was it going to… stop on the Evolution Potion?
From a normal perspective, this should have been the best reward. If he could land on a bottle of Seven-Star Evolution Potion, he would have accepted it.
However, contrary to his expectations, the pointer missed the Evolution Potion and landed on… the fishing boat.
Ye Zhongming smiled and shook his head. He took out the model of the boat from the reward box and set it aside. The fishing boat immediately swelled in the wind, returning to its original form.
This should be a hybrid structure fishing boat, constructed from unknown metals and woods, and it was classified as a blue-level equipment.
This was about the highest grade of equipment that could appear on the grade 7 roulette.
Once Ye Zhongming spun it, it disappeared from the roulette.
The Blue Water Rock fishing boat was approximately twenty meters long, with a cockpit wrapped in a yellow-brown wood and a fully enclosed design, surrounded by a circle of transparent observation windows. The deck occupied about two-thirds of the boat's length, while the hull was made of silver metal.
Ye Zhongming jumped on board and took a look around. There was no engine room; instead, there was a drive platform in the cockpit that had depressions like those on a roulette intended for placing magic crystals. He tested it and found that magic crystals below the fourth level had no reaction, while only when he placed in fifth-level magic crystals would the boat be activated. Moreover, there were five depressions on it, meaning the boat would have power in the water only when five fifth-level magic crystals were placed together.
In the cabin below the cockpit, there were two sections. One was a water prison, essentially a large pool with metal bars, currently without water, and the bars were open. Next to it were several metal cages, the doors also open.
Ye Zhongming knocked on the metal. It was made of an unknown alloy. He tried the Blue Water Rock sand dance on it, leaving only a small white mark that would recover after a few minutes—impressive!
However, Ye Zhongming abandoned the idea of cutting off a piece to take back for research. Le Da Yuan was quite interested in the alloys used in various roulettes, but since the boat was still useful, he decided not to damage it.
The water prison and metal cages were presumably prepared for capturing aquatic creatures.
The bottom of the cabin, like the walls of the boat, was also made of that alloy and bore mysterious engravings that possessed an inexplicable power.
After exiting the cabin, Ye Zhongming found two very important parts: the weapon system and the hunting system.
The visible weapon system included two energy harpoons fixed to the hull, capable of moving 180 degrees, one on each side. The hunting system consisted of two types of fishing nets, one being a trawl and the other a gill net.
Of course, the latter name was one he came up with himself; Ye Zhongming wasn’t familiar with fishing techniques. He only knew that this net, when placed in the sea, would act like a giant cover, trapping any creatures below before automatically closing and being pulled up.
Ye Zhongming surveyed the boat as a whole. Although he had a rough idea, he still lacked in-depth understanding.
