After checking his attributes, Max relaxed and now he has found the confidence to survive in the world as he has started as he has crossed the limits of normal human and entered the extraordinary life.
Max felt he possessed endless strength but lacked a proper method to harness it, except for his reliance only on mana or mental/spirit power to steer the ship during emergencies.
Max felt like opening the treasure chests and find if he was lucky enough to get any method to use his powers properly.
Max emptied his inventory and discovered he had one black iron-grade treasure chest, one bronze treasure chest, and one silver-grade treasure chest.
He had already opened the wooden treasure chests, finding only a few daily supplies or pieces of wood inside.
As the chests began to pile up, he dismantled them, adding a few extra wood logs to his inventory.
Max then decided to start with the silver treasure chest and found a bulging purse which has a total of 1000 silver coins and a small card which make the shop items in the trade channel always appear on the top recommendation whenever other enter the trade channel.
Max happily put the coins purse into the inventory and directly used the card which made his shop or items always stay in recommended section.
Max moved the silver treasure chest to the storage area since he had no use for silver at the moment, as there were no blueprints requiring silver in it. He then turned his attention to the bronze treasure chest, opened it with anticipation, and discovered a miniature machine inside along with 1000 copper coins.
Max, feeling uncertain, first placed the copper coins into the inventory. Then, he picked up the miniature machine and was astonished as he read its description. The machine had the ability to disintegrate useless wood, ocean weed, and meat to create a growth acceleration potion, capable of making tier 1 plants grow instantly from the growth stage to maturity and bear fruit within a single day.
Max followed the system's instructions and placed it right next to his bed in the bedroom, as it was an important asset to help his plants grow faster and enjoy tasting various delicacies, he grew himself.
Max opened the Balck iron treasure chest and found a repair scroll which can repair anything which doesn't exceed its grade black iron grade.
Max has the damaged black iron spear, but he doesn't want to waste the repair scroll just for the black iron grade spear which he can buy from the trade channel.
So, decide to use it on the ship mounted crossbows in the later stage if they get damaged as they lose some durability with shot fired.
It also had 100 copper coins, bringing his wealth in coins to 1000 silver coins and 3000 copper coins in his inventory.
Max then found it was getting dark as day will end in few minutes so he decided that he will stop the exploration for today and shifted his gaze towards the growth acceleration machine and started to fiddle with it and found that he has to infuse magic power into it to make it work and supply it with 10 kilo grams of ocean weed, 1kilo gram of tier 1 water monster meat and 10 wooden logs to produce 100ml of growth acceleration potion.
This 100milli liters is enough for one plant to grow into maturity and continuous supply of potion can allow the plant to reach extraordinary plant.
Max gathered the necessary resources and infused the machine with magic power, initiating the potion concoction. Within a minute, a wooden tube capable of holding 100ml of potion appeared before him, glowing with three distinct colors: vibrant green, sturdy yellow, and spiritual red.
Max then took the potion into his hands and made his way back to the deck where the bread tree is placed and observed it and found that the sapling is growing healthy enough, so he bend down a little and carefully poured the potion onto the sapling drenching it completely which the making sure the potion is reaching along the small trunk towards the roots.
After finishing the potion, max began to make fertilizers, as he knew when growing up the sapling will need a great deal of water and fertilizers.
Max made enough fertilizer with all the oceans weed in his possession enough required for the growth of the sapling into tree and dumped it into a drum which he has constructed using blueprint and began mixing it with water and started too slowly and gently scoop in onto the plant.
Maybe because the plant has gained enough nutrients it soon began grow wildly as soon the fertilizer were added and max became busy in scooping large quantity of fertilizers.
In just an hour, Max felt utterly exhausted in both spirit and body, as though he had mistimed the addition of fertilizer. If added too late, the tree would wither slightly, and if added too soon, the roots would turn a pale yellow. He had to consistently add the fertilizer at regular intervals to keep the plant alive, a task that tested both his observation skills and patience.
Soon, a meter-long and a few-centimeter-wide trunk fruit tree was presented before him. The tree looked vibrant with lush green leaves, numerous branches, and a few buds growing on them.
Now all Max has to do is wait one more day to harvest the first batch of bread tree fruits he has grown with his own hands.
After finishing the work, Max slumped on the ship deck, waiting for nightfall and pondering what to have for dinner.
As he was daydreaming about meals, a system announcement popped up in the regional channel, declaring that someone had upgraded their raft to a ship. It noted that this person was the second in the region to achieve this milestone and congratulated them with a bronze treasure chest as a reward.
max checked the time and guessed it might be Sophia as it should be about time she upgraded her ship.
Soon he received message from her confirming that she has upgrade her ship from the raft and received the prize.
Max sincerely congratulated her and requested she build a ship-mounted crossbow, urging her to upgrade it as well. Now that she had passed the newbie protection, there was a risk of wild ocean monsters attacking the ship in the middle of the night if it was left without any defensive equipment.
