The Navigation Log offers a multitude of convenient functions.
But without the Navigation Log, this world is practically no different from reality.
Felling trees, for example, is both physically demanding and a technical task, especially when the stone axe isn't very sharp and jars the hand.
After cutting down the largest coconut tree, Yang Yi's energy points dropped by 13 directly, leaving him with only 30 energy points.
At full energy, at most, he can only cut down five or six trees.
Any more than that won't do. When the energy level drops below 30, there's a risk of fainting.
Once the tree fell, Yang Yi immediately went to pick up the coconuts. As soon as he picked one up, a delighted expression appeared on his face.
Name: Energetic Coconut
Type: Food
Introduction: This is a rare and special type of coconut, rich in vitamins and minerals. The coconut juice inside can increase the speed of energy recovery.
Without hesitation, Yang Yi split open a coconut and drank its contents eagerly, obtaining a buff that accelerated energy recovery.
This was exactly what Yang Yi was in urgent need of. This trip was really a great gain.
He opened the bronze treasure chest, and several light orbs immediately fell out. After touching them, they transformed into three items.
Name: Recipe for Refreshing Coconut Juice
Type: Recipe
Quality: Good
Introduction: Using this gives you the recipe for Refreshing Coconut Juice. You'll need a reagent bottle, salt, and an energetic coconut.
...
Name: 500 Grams of Edible Sea Salt

...
Name: Reagent Rack
Type: Tool
Quality: Good
Introduction: An indispensable tool for making various reagents, which can be synthesized using crystals.
It can provide reagent bottles, which will disappear after the reagent is consumed.
A single treasure chest not only contained the recipe but also the other two materials needed for it.
Yang Yi was overjoyed. He immediately used up the recipe and then started to prepare the Refreshing Coconut Juice.
Required Materials: 1 Energetic Coconut, 10 Grams of Salt
Essential Tool: Reagent Rack
Yang Yi made one bottle.
Name: Refreshing Coconut Juice
Type: Consumable
Quality: Good
Introduction: A drink that invigorates.
It can restore 10 energy points, increase the energy recovery rate by 50%, and the effect lasts for 8 hours. The interval between each effect is 24 hours.
Yang Yi smiled. He turned his head to look at the densely packed coconuts on the coastline and twirled his axe with joy.
Anyway, whenever his energy was about to reach 30, he would lie on the beach to rest. Once it was restored, he would continue cutting trees.
By evening, he had cut down four trees in total, obtaining 38 energetic coconuts and 43 units of lumber, all of which were transported back to the Nightmare. (For one tree, depending on its thickness and length, you can get 5 - 15 units of lumber after cutting it down. Super - large trees yield even more.)
He didn't plan to leave for the moment and intended to spend the night on the ship and continue cutting trees the next day.
But before going back, he made a new discovery.
There was a glistening and luminous trail on the beach, only a hundred meters or so away from Yang Yi.
As it got darker, these trails emitted a faint light, which was when Yang Yi noticed them.
The trail led straight into the island. The luminous substance was the mucus on the body surface of some kind of creature, giving off a foul and fishy smell.
He took two steps along the trail towards the interior of the island.
Without the impact of the waves here, the trail was even clearer and more distinguishable.
Judging by its shape, it was like the trail left by an animal similar to a snake crawling on the ground.
Yang Yi measured it with his palm. This "snake" was at least half a meter thick. It was quite large!
"Not using the gun was definitely the right choice!"
Yang Yi changed his mind and no longer planned to spend the night by the shore. He decided to move farther away because there was some kind of large - sized creature on the island.
He gripped his flintlock tightly, remained vigilant all around, and backed away.
Only after returning to the Nightmare did he heave a long sigh of relief.
Yang Yi sat in the captain's cabin and pondered for a while. He still decided that he should gather more energetic coconuts, even if there were risks.
This kind of thing is a rare find. It can eliminate the drawbacks of the Nightmare. It's definitely not something to be easily let go!
In the subsequent islands, there may not be such coconuts anymore!
He steered the Nightmare, moved away from the island, and stopped about twenty nautical miles away.
At this distance, the island couldn't even be seen.
Even if the unknown creatures on the island could swim, there was no need for them to swim this far just to eat a bit of his flesh.
Aren't the fish in the sea delicious?
He drank a bottle of Refreshing Coconut Juice, ate a few scallops, an eyeball fruit, and half a red ray.
Before going to sleep, he held his flintlock in his right hand and let it hang under the bed, his fingers not touching the trigger.
This was a new trick Yang Yi had just come up with. It allowed him to raise the gun and shoot the monster at the door as quickly as possible.
He quickly fell asleep and had a nightmare...
Late at night, a woman's beautiful singing came from outside the ship. It was ethereal and melodious, like the music of the heavens.
But this was the sea. Where did this woman's singing come from?
Yang Yi groggily sat up, his eyes blank. Attracted by the beautiful singing, he looked towards the door of the captain's cabin with a dazed expression.
There stood a humanoid creature, half - human and half - fish, much like the mermaid in legends. It had a head of golden hair and a charming and coquettish figure.
She was completely soaked, as if she had just finished a bath. Her chest was covered by two huge shells.
Her waist was very slender. Below her navel, fine scales began to appear, and her lower body was a fish tail.
This kind of creature is generally called a mermaid.
But at sea, there's actually another name for it - sea monster, the nightmare of sailors in the past...
The sea monster sang, smiled at Yang Yi, and showed off her charm.
The sound - emitting trap at the door was also triggered, making a tinkling sound.
But Yang Yi had lost control. The trap became completely useless.
With a dazed expression on his face, he walked towards the sea monster, still holding that flintlock in his hand...
Charmed by the beautiful singing, you lose control of your body and your sanity drops by 10.
You see an extremely beautiful woman and become infatuated, with your sanity dropping by 7.
About fifty nautical miles away from the Nightmare, there was also a ship floating - the Astrology.
Captain Suna was sitting in the captain's cabin, writing in a small notebook.
"He can eat some strange food expressionlessly and even 'kiss' an eel (eat a red - lipped eel) without hesitation.
More importantly, he doesn't show any signs of going crazy at all!
This is truly incredible!"
This small notebook was called the Observation Diary. Since she didn't know Yang Yi's real name, she hadn't written it down yet.
It recorded Yang Yi's private information, including how long he slept, when he got up, what he caught, what he ate...
This kind of behavior was no different from that of a stalker. In a normal society, she would definitely be classified as a dangerous person and locked up for re - education.
"Isn't he afraid at all...?"
Suna bit the cap of her pen and thought.
She was the one who provided the information about this island, just wanting to see how this person would react.
But just then, on the nautical chart, the Nightmare suddenly moved and sped towards the island at full speed.
When things go against the norm, there must be something strange!
Suna had been using the Astrology's spying skill to peek at Yang Yi for several days. She knew that he was a cautious person and wouldn't take risks in the dark, let alone at night...
She immediately used the spying skill to track and check on the Nightmare.
This is... a sea monster?
Suna exclaimed, her eyes showing a bit of fanaticism and excitement.
