Just like that, Lin Bei killed for a full ten minutes.
The surrounding sea surface was completely dyed a rich blood-red color.
Lin Bei rubbed his arms, which were sore and numb from the vibrations, and glanced at the Detection Radar, which had become completely calm, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
The machine gun ammunition carried by the shadow tank was mostly depleted, but Lin Bei had fought a satisfying Combat.
As for the machine gun ammunition, Lin Bei was not concerned about the consumption.
Because he held the design blueprint for the corresponding model of ammunition; as long as the materials were sufficient, he could manufacture as much as he wanted.
He opened the Attribute Panel, looking expectantly at his current experience.
Since his level increased to 20, he noticed that every subsequent level-up required manual operation.
This was actually a good thing for him.
Because the Combat Power gained from each level-up triggers the Critical Hit effect of the Critical Hit System. If he leveled up several times consecutively and triggered a high Critical Hit effect... the consequences could be quite severe!
For example, if he was in Combat and suddenly leveled up, causing a sharp increase in Combat Power and resulting in physical pain, he would surely be met with a frenzied Finishing Blow from his opponent!
At that point, forget getting stronger; he'd just become a corpse, understand?
Therefore, he had to give a huge thumbs-up to this optimized Manual Level-up function!

"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect to gain so much experience just from ten minutes of grinding! It's enough for me to level up several times consecutively!"
Lin Bei laughed heartily, extremely satisfied with the gains from this sea voyage.
However, it was unlikely that sharks would respawn in the vicinity anytime soon.
After all, in ten minutes, the total number of sharks he had killed was nearly six hundred. Even the surrounding Sea Area had been dyed blood-red, which could only be described as "exaggerated."
However, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied.
Although he had accumulated over a hundred thousand experience points, if he leveled up now, this experience would only be enough to raise his level to 25.
He was still short a full 500,000 experience points to reach the Level Cap of 30!
Converting that into Great White Sharks... well, he would need to kill 2,500 more.
After a rough calculation, Lin Bei immediately felt a toothache.
What a joke, where would he find so many Great White Sharks to kill?
Because the shadow tank's radar showed that within a 10-kilometer radius around his Island, there wasn't a single shark left alive.
If he truly wanted to level up by grinding Great White Sharks, he would have to wait until the next day when the Island Resources refreshed, and the sharks refreshed along with them, then repeat today's actions.
However, even then, it would take several days to accumulate enough experience to raise him to Level 30.
Leveling up by grinding sharks was not going to happen anytime soon.
"Forget it. I should first collect the Ingredients, then look for some supply treasure chests to see if I can gather enough primal stone for Island Upgrade before worrying about leveling up."
Lin Bei sighed helplessly.
Then, he activated the wristband's Remote Collection Function and began cleaning up the battlefield.
These Shark Carcasses were almost all riddled with holes, and the usable Ingredients on them were pitifully few.
On average, ten Shark Carcasses yielded only one piece of edible shark fin.
Fortunately, harvesting these Ingredients could also trigger the Critical Hit effect.
Therefore, thanks to the Critical Hit effect, he managed to harvest over two thousand pieces of shark fin from fewer than six hundred Great White Shark carcasses!
Among them, there were even more than ten pieces of shark fin that triggered a Quality Critical Hit. Lin Bei set them aside, planning to enjoy them himself... By the time Lin Bei drove the Tank back to his Island, it was already late dusk.
He circled the area within five kilometers of the Island and acquired many supply treasure chests.
Although he did not spot any Excellent-grade Treasure Chest, he found more than a dozen Fine-grade Treasure Chests!
In addition, he obtained over fifty Excellent-grade Treasure Chests and hundreds of common and inferior treasure chests.
Upon returning to the Island, he did not hesitate and immediately began opening the treasure chests.
All sorts of Critical Hit Notification Messages were dazzling.
In the end, Lin Bei's kun bag contained a massive amount of supplies, various Items, Equipment, and blueprint.
It is worth noting that when one Fine treasure chest was opened, it triggered a Hundredfold Critical Hit, providing him with another one hundred Treasure Chest Keys.
Lin Bei felt completely at ease about this.
Furthermore, the amount of primal stone he harvested this time was also astonishing!
Hundreds of treasure chests combined actually yielded him over 6,000 primal stone!
Enough for him to upgrade the Island to Level 4!
Without hesitation, he immediately consumed 2,000 primal stone, confirmed the Expansion Area, clicked confirm, and completed the Island Upgrade.
The next second, the Island shook violently.
"Huh, it's a bit different. The first two Island Upgrades only caused slight tremors, but the intensity of the shaking this time is clearly much stronger."
Lin Bei frowned, feeling curious.
Before he could ponder further, he received a System Notification.
[Notification: Your Island Level has been raised to Level 4!]
[Notification: You have unlocked the Dungeon Entrance!]
[Notification: You have unlocked the Braves Shop!]
[Notification:...]
Lin Bei no longer bothered checking the subsequent notification messages.
His gaze was fixed intently on the words "Braves Shop," and his breathing quickened.
"Holy crap, this truly is finding what you sought after fruitless searching, without having to search at all!"
"I didn't expect that after the Island Level reached Level 4, the Braves Shop would be unlocked directly!"
"Damn it, they didn't even give a hint! I worried and stressed for nothing!"
While Lin Bei felt relieved, he couldn't help but complain a little.
Moreover, the other feature unlocked after the Island Level increased, the "Dungeon Entrance," also greatly interested him.
"Could it be... this is a place for grinding monsters and leveling up?"
Lin Bei speculated internally.
Following this, he opened the Island Interface, wanting to check the details.
But the moment he opened it, he froze for a second.
Just as he had predicted, the amount of primal stone required for Island Expansion had increased again!
[Island Expansion: 3 primal stone/square meter]
[Island Upgrade: 10000/100000 (square meters)]
In other words, if he wanted to raise his Island Level to Level 5 now, he would need to consume a full 270,000 primal stone!
"I wonder what the maximum level the Island can reach is? And how large can the area be expanded?"
"Assuming I have enough primal stone... could I really build a vast Continent in the Island Survival World?"
"If I could, that would be an epic feat!"
"If I succeed... the thought alone is damn exciting!"
Lin Bei's heart thumped rapidly.
However, he quickly suppressed his excitement and stopped letting his imagination run wild.
He vigorously shook his head, clearing the chaotic thoughts from his mind.
He focused his attention on the descriptions of the "Dungeon Entrance" and the "Braves Shop" on the Island Interface.
