"Sakamaru Saito! Report the progress of your Warrior Corps."
"Reporting to Young Master, the Northern Corps has successfully reached the North Village Fishing Port and is preparing to reach level 25 to attack the Fishman Tribe. The Western Corps encountered ogres blocking the road, which is very difficult, but fortunately, the NPC caravan from Western Fortress passes by every five hours to clear the way for us. The Southern Corps is trapped by a goblin army in the Southern Canyon, but we have the advantage of terrain defense..."
The Young Master is pleased: "Proceed steadily according to plan! Be sure to conquer these three villages!"
"Understood!"
...
April 3rd, 3 AM, ga world ti is 3 PM.
Chun was rowing all the way, having finished all the Stamina Potions and snacking on water and food. Finally, what was supposed to co arrived—System prompt: Congratulations! Your wisdom is outstanding, lucky blessing, Sea Soul assistance, resilience in the weakness of plague. Sailing Technique has advanced to Advanced Level 1, achievent reward: Load 1, Physical Strength 1, extra reward Spirit 1. You have received the "Three Days of Newcor’s Discount Blessing" achievent reward: Wisdom 1.
...
After upgrading to Advanced, the boat speed increased again. However, proficiency no longer rises, which the public test veteran ntioned; evidently, the small boat limits skill growth.
Chun looked back at the Treasure Hunting Ship, but his vision was blurry, unable to see clearly, and the radar didn’t extend that far, probably shaken off.
Yet Chun dared not be complacent. The other party chased a small boat for almost three hours, which was clearly abnormal. Even if they didn’t discover Magic Gold, seeing his miraculous "Boat Technique" they would certainly feel they’ve found treasure. Would they give up so easily?
Finally, Plague Island was visible in the distance, suddenly looking more pleasing to Chun. Who would have thought it beca a safe refuge?
But are treasure hunters not the kind who don’t care for their lives? Is it really safe? Is it possible they thought if a newcor could enter and exit Plague Island and row quickly, maybe Plague Island isn’t that scary as the legends say?
Thinking of this possibility, Chun felt uneasy: "Aileen, do you think the Treasure Hunting Ship might sneak ashore while I’m not paying attention?"
Aileen was stunned: "You an they might doubt Plague Island’s reputation? Isn’t that great, you hide in the mine, my radar in such narrow terrain is more effective, they definitely can’t touch you, either they get poisoned or die from the plague, you just picked up a big ship, maybe there are treasures on board."
No wonder she’s an Evil Spirit!
Chun also took a chance: "Okay! If they dare to co ashore, let them."
Went back to the dock, tied the boat, retracted Sea Soul, four progress bars appeared:
—System prompt: Unloading Sea Soul recovery in progress, please wait.
Holy Shit, still have to wait for it to unload?
Okay, even summoning a pet takes ti.
Fortunately, the boat isn’t big, just a few seconds to finish recovery.
Then saw the water and food covered with a shabby box were still there.
Honestly, Chun would rather hope this water and food suddenly disappear, eaten by so unknown presence. This kind of empty world is really unbearably unsettling.
Taking so water and food with him, Chun returned to the blacksmith shop on the street, although during the public test there was no ti to practice Forging, frequently repairing pickaxes made him a regular at the blacksmith shop, knowing how to use all kinds of tools and molds.
After cleaning and preparing a rough setup, he lit the charcoal fire, the furnace flas roared.
Chun instructed Aileen: "I’m going to slt Magic Gold, I can’t see clearly, help watch."
Aileen seed clearly excited: "If necessary, let do it!"
Alright, one must admit Magic Gold has a magical allure over won! Not to ntion it’s Magic Gold. But for a newcor practicing, spoil a little, better save two gold grains for big use after skill mastery.
As the few gold grains lted into a lump in the mold, what should co soon will co:
—System prompt: Congratulations! You slted ultra-rare Magic Gold, successfully comprehended Basic Forging Technique Level 1, gained achievent: Load 1, Physical Strength 1, additional Spirit 1.
With slting progress advancing, proficiency skyrocketed, skill levels jumped swiftly:
—System prompt: Congratulations!...You comprehended Basic Forging Technique Level 6...
—System prompt: Congratulations!...You comprehended Interdiate Forging Technique Level 1...Spirit 1.
—System prompt: Congratulations!...You comprehended Interdiate Forging Technique Level 2...
...
Holy Shit Holy Shit this is Magic Gold! This exaggerated level-up is second only to running directly from Interdiate to Expert!
—System prompt: Magic Gold lting complete!
Once lted, poured the gold liquid into another cooling mold, soaked the mold in the basin to cool.
Once cooled, poured out a small gold ingot, then started hamring with a small hamr, this is the huge advantage of gold—soft and highly malleable suitable for newcors to practice.
As proficiency soared again, a ring-like-not-a-ring, circle-like-not-a-circle item was forged.
—System prompt: You forged an unequipable item, forging failed. Forging proficiency greatly improved.
Chun checked item attributes: Magic Attack 30, Mana Value 30, Weight 3.
Holy Shit, though unequipable, it can be thrown! A mining pickaxe’s physical attack is only 10 points, this little bit of Magic Gold already 30, and just a failed practice work by a novice!
If an entire Magic Gold mine... it’d definitely start a world war!
Anyway, lt it down again.
lt-down process wildly boosted proficiency again, after repeating Interdiate Forging Technique Level 10! This montum simply unstoppable!
No suspense, what should arrive ca easily:
—System prompt: Congratulations! Your wisdom is outstanding, lucky blessing, resilience in the weakness of plague slting rare Magic Gold, Forging Technique advanced to Advanced Level 1, achievent reward: Load 1, Physical Strength 1, extra reward Spirit 1, you received the "Three Days of Newcor’s Discount Blessing" achievent reward: Wisdom 1.
So easy, probably no problem soaring to Expert?
Advanced Level 2!
Advanced Level 3...
Just as Chun was enthusiastically crafting, strange sounds of a crowd of crows ca from the street.
Chun was suddenly startled, I’m hamring in the blacksmith shop noisily even without alarming the crows!
Aileen imdiately activated Sound Wave Radar, beneath the infrared vision, a tall rounded figure resembling a cha appeared at the dock, carrying a large tank on its back!
This clearly a fully enclosed pressure-resistant Steel Diving Suit for deep diving?
Holy Shit! Even using this to land and avoid plague! Why doesn’t he go to the moon? But this thing is more cumberso than the heaviest heavy armor, how strong of an expert must one be to chase wearing this? Then co chase in the mine, I’ll find a pit to bury the gold and see how badass this Treasure Hunter is finding it before air runs out!
Just as Chun grabbed the gold ready to run out the door, Aileen discovered another anomaly: "Right in the blacksmith shop! On the windowsill!"
Chun found a vague small shadow on the radar, startled throwing a fire tong over.
The small shadow swiftly jumped down, a voice sounded outside the wall: "Don’t panic, let’s talk!"
It can talk, could this be the legendary treasure hunting magical pet every Thief Guild mber has? Like a remote-controlled cara dog-like existence, and this one can also go invisible, is this the high-end of Treasure Hunters?
