So when she spoke, her words often came out brash and unfiltered.
She frequently joked around with Luo Feng.
Little did she know that some jokes, when taken too far, might just become reality.
Sometimes, once a mask is put on, it can never be taken off again.
Some of her thoughts aligned quite closely with Tang Xueying's.
And indeed, events were unfolding in that very direction.
As Tang Xuewei was lost in thought, danger was slowly creeping toward her.
Currently lying in the large wooden basin, she failed to notice the shifting wind direction.
Earlier, her wooden raft had been moving away from the glowing object—now, it was drifting closer.
Yet Tang Xuewei remained absorbed in her musings, leisurely washing herself.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng closed the chat channel and took a deep breath, trying to relax.
The image of Tang Xueying still lingered vividly in his mind—utterly unforgettable.
This realization gave Luo Feng quite the headache.
Normally, he wouldn't react so strongly.
But...
This had him unusually agitated.
Indeed, everything happens for a reason.
Nothing occurs without cause.
Shaking his head, Luo Feng forcibly interrupted his own train of thought.
He approached a water bucket, splashing his face to cool down.
Now wasn't the time for such distractions.
He needed to consider—what if Tang Xueying encountered that Great White Shark?
Luo Feng absolutely trusted Tang Xueying and was willing to lend her the Epic Quality Spear.
His only worry was whether fear might prevent her from using it properly.
If she panicked and dropped his Epic Quality Spear into the ocean, Luo Feng would truly be devastated.
Because in this marine world...
While basic tools could be crafted freely,
Higher-tier equipment required corresponding blueprints.
And each blueprint could only produce one item.
To recreate the Epic Quality Spear, Luo Feng would need to obtain another Epic Spear Blueprint.
Yet there was no alternative.
He couldn't possibly abandon her.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Feng would never lend his Epic Quality Spear to others.
Their deaths would mean nothing to him.
But Tang Xueying might very well become his other half.
After all, life on these waters could be unbearably lonely for a solitary survivor.
This realization sparked another thought—his Legendary Telescope wasn't just for viewing.
It also had distance-measuring capabilities.
If Tang Xueying wasn't too far away, Luo Feng could use the Legendary Telescope to pinpoint her exact location.
Then he could set out to find her immediately.
With this plan forming, Luo Feng wasted no time checking the Legendary Telescope's tracking records.
["The target location is too far away to locate. Please move closer before using this function."]
After seeing this description, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
It seemed there was no way to meet Tang Xueying anytime soon.
There was nothing Luo Feng could do—without a direction, finding someone was truly difficult.
Direction?
At this thought, Luo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because he noticed that beneath this record, an arrow had appeared.
Could this be pointing toward Tang Xueying's direction?
If that were really the case, then by heading in this direction, Luo Feng would eventually encounter Tang Xueying, right?
So, Luo Feng looked in the direction the arrow was pointing.
He realized the arrow was pointing toward the small black dot he had seen earlier.
Based on Luo Feng's estimation, that small black dot was likely an island.
Could Tang Xueying be near that island?
Thinking of this, Luo Feng's mood began to stir with excitement.
On the ocean, the hardest part of finding someone was determining the direction.
Now that Luo Feng had confirmed Tang Xueying's direction, he no longer had to worry about not seeing her.
It was only a matter of time.
With this in mind, Luo Feng's spirits lifted considerably.
Seeing that Tang Xueying still hadn't sent him a message, it seemed her Wooden Raft wasn't moving toward the Great White Shark.
This also put Luo Feng at ease.
So, he opened the chat channel to see how everyone was doing.
By now, after such a long time, the disparities between people had begun to widen.
The wealthier ones no longer worried about food and water.
But most were still struggling for basic sustenance.

"Now that I'm in this world, I haven't found a single bite of food or drop of water. You people are truly heartless, just watching me starve to death.
Would it kill you to spare me a bite or a sip?"
"Pfft, I've seen beggars before, but never one so shameless about it. Starve for all I care. It's just thirty years of life anyway—if you're still young, why worry?"
"I must be the unluckiest person. Sure, my surname is Huang, but I, Huang, am usually an upright person. Why is it that every treasure chest I open is filled with adult toys?
Anyone in need, hurry and contact me. Even though we're stranded at sea,
a happy life shouldn't be lacking.
Single folks, come trade for some fun.
Those with partners, don't forget safety measures.
I've got plenty of stock, all kinds of styles available."
"Everyone, be careful—there are a lot of bad people in this game.
One of my cousins was pushed into the sea and drowned by someone else.
I'm devastated. This was the last message he sent me.
To prevent others from suffering the same fate, I've decided to expose that person's name."
