Chapter 4 Foolish Beauty
Shen Ruying nodded gently, but after taking the coconut, she did not drink it herself first. Instead, she put a mouthful of coconut juice in her mouth and carefully fed it to her daughter.
Although the little girl's complexion improved considerably after being fed the juice transformed from the star-tear jellyfish, people with high fevers sweat a lot and suffer from prolonged dehydration.
If her daughter isn't kept hydrated, she could develop chronic health problems. Plus, her daughter has been frail since childhood, and the mother and daughter are in this world full of unknown dangers…
Shen Ruying pursed her lips, sipping the remaining coconut juice as she slowly spoke:
"Brother Su, all I know so far are the first-tier marine creatures in this world."
"Most marine life is not much different from what we are familiar with, such as multi-flavored fish and small octopuses. Only rare marine life has special effects, I mean harmless species."
As she spoke, the young woman took a deep breath, her expression turned serious, and she said earnestly:
"Sea creatures are also classified as marine creatures in my talent encyclopedia. Their danger level is no less than that of encountering a black bear in the wild."
"That scary?" Su Jin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
As a wilderness survival enthusiast and a certified hunter, he knows how terrifying black bears are; these creatures dare to venture into residential areas.
Ordinary citizens are powerless against such ferocious beasts; only professional hunters like them can barely handle them.
Su Jin's expression gradually became serious, and his breathing became heavy.
It's hard to imagine that without the newbie protection period, he would have died at sea if he had been a little unlucky.
These three days are the golden time; if you want to survive in this world, you must improve your strength as soon as possible.
Then, he looked at Shen Ruying. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." This young woman's talent was more useful than he had imagined.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked Shen Ruying:
"Miss Shen, tell me, what kinds of sea creatures live in the reef areas and shallow waters?"
He had already observed the area briefly; their island was located in a shallow sea area, with an additional reef area, which allowed them to further narrow down the range of their enemies.
Shen Ruying closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then immediately answered:
"There are too many sea creatures living in shallow waters, and I don't know what to say for a moment, but there are only a few types of Tier 1 sea creatures in the reef area."
Of course, she was referring to Tier 1 sea beasts; she didn't know about higher-level sea beasts.
She then described in detail some of the ferocious sea creatures in the reef area, two of which left a deep impression on Su Jin.
Rock Serpent, a Tier 1 common sea beast, has a body as hard as rock and usually likes to curl up in a ball, disguising itself as a rock next to a stone.
To the naked eye, it looks no different from any other reef, making it extremely deceptive.
Although this sea monster sleeps during its inactive periods, its attack is no joke if someone disturbs it.
The other one is the Tier 1 rare sea beast, the Lightning Electric Eel, which is considered a local tyrant in the reef area.
As a highly aggressive species of electric eel, its electric current is much stronger than that of ordinary electric eels on Earth, easily capable of knocking out several adults.
It can hold its own against ordinary Tier 2 sea beasts, and generally, Tier 2 sea beasts will not provoke it.
The lightning eel feeds on rock snakes, making it a natural enemy of rock snakes and a true tyrant of the reefs.
However, its defense is very low, and it is no different from an ordinary eel. It does not have the thick skin and flesh of a rock snake.
In addition, the value of sea creatures themselves is not low. For example, the meat of the lightning eel can increase a human's attributes simply by eating it.
Not to mention that some rare materials from sea monsters have unexpected uses.
Upon hearing this, Su Jin added a small dry twig to the fire, his eyes darting around as he thought of another question.
The reason he was so cautious before going to Shen Ruying's island was entirely due to the influence of the first rule prompted by the system at that time.
Within their territory, the island lord holds the power of life, death, and plunder.
He experienced this firsthand on his small raft; if anyone boarded it, he could kill them with a single thought.
Now, on Shen Ruying Island, his life should theoretically be in the hands of this young woman.
But judging from the other person's eyes, he could tell that the other person was completely oblivious.
You have to understand, he's the one in power now, and the other party is a weak woman with a daughter. If she had any confidence, she wouldn't be speaking so weakly.
Clearly, Shen Ruying couldn't kill him, otherwise she wouldn't have acted so weakly.
His unrestrained gaze swept over the young woman. As a city woman, she wouldn't be indifferent, but she seemed to have a bit of a resigned feeling.
This made him a little puzzled.
Shen Ruying turned her head slightly to the side, pursed her cherry lips, and dared not move. She pinched and kneaded the hem of her short skirt with her index finger and thumb.
She was very nervous. Su Jin was staring at her open neckline, and she knew it, but she didn't dare to cover herself with her hands.
She was on the verge of tears; it was almost torture for her.
She didn't know what this man wanted to do. His gaze was so intense, yet he made no move... Here it comes!
A hot breath came close, wrapped around her waist, and his breath was right next to her ear, making her ear ticklish and wanting to scratch it.
The hand that was around her waist seemed a little restless, slowly moving downwards, almost as if its fingers were dancing on her thigh.
"Huff, huff..."
She forced herself to speak softly, despite her discomfort:
"Brother Su, um, could you please move Qiaoqiao to the side for a moment...?"
Before she could utter the words "do whatever you want with me," Su Jin's calm voice suddenly reached her ears.
"What? You don't want to kill me?"
Shen Ruying was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and said:
"How could I dare? Brother Su is my daughter's savior; I'm too busy repaying him!"
Actually, there was something else she didn't say. She was a weak woman who couldn't even pick a coconut, yet she talked about killing Su Jin, this muscular man.
That's utterly absurd.
Su Jin's hands didn't stop. While smelling the faint peony fragrance on Shen Ruying's body, he also wantonly touched Shen Ruying's big white legs.
Wow, not bad, smooth and elastic, the feel is amazing!
Furthermore, he could clearly sense that the young woman's delicate body was trembling, and although her eyes were evasive, he could not see any murderous intent. Instead, he saw six parts fear, three parts helplessness... and a hint of expectation?
Su Jin frowned, then withdrew his hand, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself:
"I understand. It seems that the prerequisite for having the power of life and death within a territory is to have a territory."
It seems that this island does not belong to Shen Ruying's territory, otherwise she would be too invincible, and the system or the world's will would not do this.
Otherwise, it would be too unfair that his little raft only has 4 square meters of territory at the start.
So he didn't even need to ask; he could already guess that Shen Ruying didn't have any territory, at least not yet.
The territory should be acquired by upgrading the island.
Seeing the young woman looking at him with a blank expression, Su Jin was speechless.
It's said that women with big breasts are brainless, which he didn't actually believe, but at least in the case of Shen Ruying, that saying was certainly true.
I really don't know how he became a CEO...
What a stupid beauty!
Su Jin pressed Shen Ruying, who was about to get up, back down:
"Alright, I was just kidding. I have one more question for you: what are your requirements and direction for upgrading your island?"
