Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 162 Deep Sea Behemoth
Chen Xuan stared blankly at the shelf in front of him, where some strange off-white objects were placed.

Each has a very irregular appearance, and has a large hole in one side.

It looks like siu mai, isn't this a barnacle?

The barnacles in front of him brought back Chen Xuan's memories.

The last time he saw these things was after watching the sea beast battle from a distance.

The scene at that time is still vivid.

At that time, a spiral tooth shark and a large octopus sea monster were fighting together, and at the end of the battle, a terrifyingly large sea beast suddenly appeared.

At that time, he only saw a big mouth, and he couldn't even see the specific appearance.

After the mysterious monster left, Shui Bao picked up the barnacles in the sea.

From the barnacles, he got hints about the system's defective modules, and all the clues pointed to the mysterious giant sea beast.

However, the giant beast disappeared into the deep sea after only a glimpse, and was nowhere to be found.

He also put the barnacles in the corner of the cabin.

But at this moment, barnacles appeared again in front of his eyes.

Could this barnacle also come from that giant sea beast?

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Chen Xuan's heart was pounding.

He walked quickly and picked up the barnacle.

When the barnacles were touched, a familiar feeling came, the rough surface was also like a stone, and there was also an urgent prompt from the system in my mind.

"Aura related to system modules has been detected, please trace the source as soon as possible, and find the missing modules of the system!"

What the hell!

It's really the same thing.

The system prompt is the best evidence.

Doesn't this mean that the mysterious giant creature in the sea that he saw before has also come to the vicinity of the northern plateau?

He scanned the barnacles again, trying to find some clues.

------

Name: Barnacles

Type: special material

Features: It usually attaches to large organisms in the sea and feeds on food residues and plankton. It is of average hardness, but barnacles have a strong ability to adhere to organisms and can be used.

But the organisms these barnacles are attached to seem to be closely related to the missing system mods.

Weaknesses: Barnacles are afraid of high temperatures and will slow down the speed of attached objects.

------

As with the previously obtained barnacle scan results, there was no specific description of the barnacle attachment organisms in the information.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan quickly asked Professor Zhang Mingjie on the side.

"Professor Zhang, where did you get this barnacle?"

It was related to the system, and his tone became a little agitated.

And Zhang Mingjie was naturally a little surprised by Chen Xuan's reaction.

"Well, what's wrong? These barnacles were discovered by a few mission teams during a search mission at sea not long ago."

"According to our speculation, this should be attached to a giant sea creature."

"Also, I heard that recently, people have often seen an incredibly huge sea beast in the sea."

"Professor Zhang, in fact, I have obtained similar things before. I have seen that sea beast before, and I was almost sucked into it by the vortex it created..."

Chen Xuan recounted the situation of encountering sea beasts before, but recalling the original scene, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

That feeling of shock still remains in my heart.

After Zhang Mingjie listened to Chen Xuan's narration, he pondered for a moment, and then said.

"This thing is really not simple. The barnacle should belong to that creature, but I don't know much about it. The detailed situation is better understood by biological experts."

Then he said seriously.

"Chen Xuan, if you go out to sea to do missions in the future, you have to be careful. It's best to stay away from these dangers as much as possible. Or you should join the research institute. You are a talent, and there is a lot to do in scientific research."

Like Liu Xuenong back then, Zhang Mingjie threw an olive branch at Chen Xuan.

It's just that he knows more about Chen Xuan, and this kind of solicitation is much stronger than Liu Xuenong.

For Zhang Mingjie's kindness, Chen Xuan could only return a polite smile and politely refuse.

He still didn't want to be imprisoned in the institute.

Then, while Chen Xuan continued to listen to Zhang Mingjie's introduction of the materials, he meditated secretly on the other side.

What Zhang Mingjie said just now not only further confirmed the situation, but it also sounds like this mysterious giant beast in the deep sea seems to have been haunting the North Wind Plateau recently.

If this is the case, then maybe I have a chance to get close to the sea beast and find the missing modules in the system.

Chen Xuan couldn't help feeling hot in his heart.

The upgrade of the system has already reached the bottleneck. Whether it is the next step of the [Black Technology Module] or the next step of the [Kunpeng], it must be related to this part of the missing system module.

Only when the system is upgraded can he achieve an earth-shaking transformation.

Although, this sea beast was unimaginable and unapproachable to him at the beginning.

But as he struggled on the edge of life and death time and time again, and saw scenes large and small, his fear of the mysterious giant beast has faded a lot.

Besides, I am constantly getting stronger, and the "Kunpeng" is also getting stronger.

He really wants to take a look now to see what this mysterious beast is.

……

After that, Chen Xuan watched some things with Zhang Mingjie and selected some materials.

Although Zhang Mingjie can introduce some materials to Chen Xuan, but he still needs points to obtain these materials.

However, the self-explosive fish provided by Chen Xuan is also of some value.

And Zhang Mingjie, as an important person in the industry, is qualified to directly estimate and convert the self-explosive fish.

Because the corpse of the self-explosive fish is too precious and of great significance, this corpse of the self-explosive fish provided Chen Xuan with 500 points, almost worth the metal parts he had handed in before.

The current progress of the "Manual Expert Module" is 85%, which is still 15% short.

If the optimized light effect is yellow, then three props are almost enough, and if the optimized light effect is white, then 15 props are needed. As for orange, he dare not even think about it.

The more materials Chen Xuan saw, the more he realized how rare such creatures as poisonous pythons are.

The material comparable to the snake's teeth must be the small piece of scarlet fine gold obtained before.

In the end, Chen Xuan spent another 100 points to buy a total of 20 swordfish jaws, one deer tendon, five elastic vines, and various animal teeth including the reward for submitting self-explosive fish.

So far, the purpose of his trip has been achieved.

I don't know what effects can be optimized by using these things.

And most importantly, the "Manual Master Module" is finally going to be upgraded.
