Chapter 4: The Relics of the Navigator

Finally, when the 100th sea anemone exploded and perished, a beam of golden light descended from the heavens

It is likely that those players who started normally either chose the specialties of infantry and archers or opted for offensive skills, happily receiving tasks and rewards from the barracks instructor, and have already begun to take a few soldiers with task rewards into dungeons. The goddess is indeed right; not supporting player lotteries prevents players from drawing undesirable talents and being assigned to unfavorable locations, which can significantly hinder development. Fortunately, I am skilled enough to find a glimmer of hope; if it were a novice, wouldn't they be stuck on a deserted island, dying from being unable to relieve themselves?

How fortunate it is for Da Fei to encounter a new type of plant monster in the sea? No, this is not luck! This is strength! The NPC did not send me, a weak and useless gunman, here without reason! This is the discovery reward I deserve! After all, I am still a master with a sharp blade! Wahahaha!

Boom! The waves crash against the shore, and the tumultuous waves surge high into the sky! In this fleeting moment, even with his back to the towering waves, Da Fei, who clings tightly to the reef, feels the earth-shattering shock resonating from the rocks!

What should I do? Da Fei looked around and suddenly saw a small island reef protruding in the sea not far away. In any case, there is definitely no time to run back to the island; it should not be submerged by the rising tide!

I am Juan Sebastián, a sergeant of the Imperial Navy and the navigator of the expedition ship Saint Anthony. I must record the truth and make it known to the public. The scholar and astrologer Sir Macal, who accompanied us, is the culprit behind the tragedy! On the night of April 21, 156, we encountered a storm and ran aground on a deserted island. When everyone was exhausted, Macal took the opportunity to use black magic to harm all the crew members, attempting to claim our astonishing discoveries for himself!

New Player Tips: Players can allocate strategic attribute points to four attributes: Attack, Defense, Magic, and Knowledge. During the novice period before class change, players gain only one strategic attribute point per level. Therefore, players must allocate points carefully. If uncertain about future development directions, players can choose to accumulate points without allocating them. Strategic attribute points can also be obtained through training in the arena, further education in schools, and other means.

You may directly present the notebook to the Emperor of the Empire, and you might receive generous rewards from the Emperor, achieving overnight success, or you may be overlooked by the Emperor due to certain concerns, resulting in minimal gains. There is also the possibility of being harmed by the high-ranking Duke Macar. At the same time, you can claim the nautical chart for yourself, or you can auction the nautical chart at a high price on the black market. Any decision you make will change the world.

System Notification: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 2! You have gained 1 strategic attribute point, 1 skill point, Health +2, Command +1

Newbie Tip: You have received 1 skill point. You can purchase skill books to learn new primary skills or to enhance the level of your current primary skills at the school, barracks, and town skill mentors, or you can learn branch skills from the skill books you already possess. Skill points can also be obtained as rewards for completing tasks.

Tattered Sailor Armor: Increases the wearer's personal defense by 3 points, durability 22 / 100. (Note: Personal defense is only effective for the hero themselves and does not apply to troops)

It is a book with a golden cover! It is exactly the same as the book that is with my brother!

Da Fei's heart skipped a beat! That ship is a large vessel! If it can really be taken away, it would save a fortune on purchasing the ship and the time spent building reputation! However, let's not talk about the ship for now; that kid definitely won't let the ship go! As for whether he would have a change of heart and bring Brother back on the return journey? I estimate that he is too ruthless to do that!

System prompt: You have obtained the skill book for reconnaissance. By using 1 skill point, you will learn basic reconnaissance skills

However, the best part is yet to come! Da Fei immediately put on the tattered leather armor, and then eagerly opened the travel bag at https://mhetushu.com, a golden light shone forth, and in that moment, Da Fei's breath stopped

I am fortunate to have found my adventurer

The waves surged forward, and Da Fei could clearly feel the sea level rising rapidly, while he had only swum halfway and was already out of stamina! Damn! He quickly took out a coconut juice, smashed it open, and drank it all in one go, restoring 100 stamina! Oh yeah!

You have obtained a worn nautical logbook (quest item)

Da Fei was left dumbfounded, his jaw dropping to the ground! What the heck! Even picking up a corpse can yield an epic quest!

Indeed, the varieties of plant monsters are extremely few, and their living environments are quite bizarre. Currently, the plant monsters announced on the official website include the man-eating tree, highly toxic dandelion, hallucinogenic poppy, and explosive sweet potato, among others. These plant monsters possess the extraordinary ability to annihilate entire legions

System prompt: You searched the remains of the deceased and discovered an old travel bag! You found a tattered sailor's armor!

Da Fei was excited and began to rummage through the pile of tattered armor and bones

System prompt: You have triggered the epic quest "The Conspirator on the Grand Line"

After a prolonged stalemate, this pile of dry bones ultimately did not transform into a skeleton standing up. It seems it is not a monster! If it is not a monster, what does that imply? It implies there is hope!

The upgrade of newcomers without a job change does not yield significant improvements, as their damage output remains weak, ranging from 1 to 3. If only I had learned the offensive skill, I believe a majority of players would choose offensive skills as their first skill at the start, after all, it is a fundamental skill for combat heroes. The problem is, I only have a skill book for navigation! There is not a soul around here, nor any skill instructors! If I had known I would end up here, I would never have chosen navigation as my starting skill. Moreover, what use is learning navigation now? Where is the ship? There is no ship! My leadership has increased a little, but the question is, where can I recruit soldiers here?

The moment I thought of the sunken ship, a sense of urgency arose within me, prompting me to hurriedly check the remaining items

Finally... Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief, slowly climbing up the reef, when suddenly his whole body trembled!

In fact, the plant monsters are not weak; their inability to move is simply a fatal flaw. However, the advantages of plant monsters are indeed bizarre and extraordinary. Currently, the most ferocious plant monster announced on the official website is the man-eating tree, which can be found in the forest along the border between the Elven Kingdom of Faloran and the Human Griffin Empire. The entire forest is filled with them, and when outsiders accidentally wander in, they are completely unaware of the situation. Vines on the ground coil around them, and the tree trunks open their large mouths, regardless of the level of the soldiers; small-sized ones are instantly killed! For larger ones, they might struggle for a few seconds, but even if thousands of troops enter that forest, they will still be killed in an instant! Additionally, the man-eating tree is accompanied by symbiotic parasitic forest spirits and tree snakes, making the man-eating forest an inescapable death trap. Ultimately, the coordination of troop types is the most important.

It is getting closer! The sound of the waves is like thunder! The giant waves are like walls! It is almost here! We are going all out! Da Fei gritted his teeth for the final sprint! Although the data in the game speaks for itself, gritting one's teeth is of no use!

This is incredibly frustrating! The system and the players are both letting me down!

Da Fei wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh

Hahaha! Finally, there is something to wear! Da Fei laughed joyfully towards the sky! It is not necessarily about how good the things are, but rather the fact that obtaining something in this dire situation is an incredibly exciting matter! Now Da Fei can finally understand the excitement that Robinson felt when he found a small knife after being stranded on the deserted island in "Robinson Crusoe"!

Da Fei immediately raised his gun, fully alert and on guard

Da Fei continued to move from one patch of sea anemones to another. Unbeknownst to him, dawn was approaching, and the rumbling sound of the waves came from the horizon. A silver ribbon appeared in the sky, signaling the rising tide

System prompt: You have obtained the sea chart of the new world, Mithril Island

Suffocated to death? Wait! I can't possibly swim back after being sent to this deserted island, right? There must be a boat, right? Are you saying that the ship stranded on the shore is actually usable? Is the player's task to sail that ship back?

Newcomer Tip: Epic quests are tasks that can change the world order, and their difficulty is extremely high. The Great Voyage is a grand maritime expedition organized by the kingdoms of the Heroic Continent in the year 145 of the Genesis, aimed at finding the gateway to the new world's otherworldly routes, during which countless navigators sacrificed their lives. Makal is currently the Chief Court Mage of the Empire, holding the rank of Grand Duke and serving as the Governor-General of the New World colonies

Strategic treasure! Haha! Wow hahaha! I found a strategic treasure on the very first day! A strategic treasure is not the same as ordinary weapons and equipment; it is a key item that can determine the success or failure of a war! What does a 50% increase in vision mean? It means I can see twice as far as an ordinary person! I can see him, but he cannot see me! This is an essential artifact for future voyages to prevent piracy!

Newbie Tip: Your leadership has increased by 1 point, and you can now lead 1 soldier into battle. The stronger the soldier, the higher the leadership required. The leadership value on the soldier's attributes indicates the leadership requirement to command that soldier. Leadership is primarily obtained through task rewards and by acquiring noble titles and official positions in the country.

Since we discovered the island of Mithril in the underground sea of the New World, I have keenly sensed that Sir Macal is not right. I expressed my doubts to the captain, but no one would suspect the esteemed Grand Mage Sir Macal within the Empire. As a result, I was reprimanded by Captain Renoir. However, I have always remained wary of Macal, which allowed me to escape as a survivor from the night of the incident when he committed murder. Yet, I cannot survive much longer stranded on this isolated reef! This nautical log of mine records the entire process of our great adventure, especially our astonishing secret discovery, the island of Mithril in the underground sea! Please find my adventurer and ensure that my diary is presented to our Majesty to thwart Macal's ambitions!

Then, open the page of the nautical logbook that is held by a bookmark

Understood! Brother understands! Although this starting village for beginners is deserted, it has skill books! How could the system possibly send new players to a place where they can't even learn skills? This means that the uniqueness of this deserted beginner village lies in the fact that players must explore and discover on their own! And without a doubt, the treasure must be in the sunken ship!

Da Fei furrowed his brow! Ultimately, he must confront that sea of blood and waves! Even if he cannot defeat him, he at least needs to pose a threat; otherwise, he won't even have the qualifications to negotiate

System prompt: You have obtained a C-level strategic treasure, the telescope

Under the starry sky, beside the tidal pools, the great spear emerges like a dragon, drenched in sweat from the slaughter of these defenseless sea anemones

Ha ha! Wow, ha ha ha! Just when I was worried about not having a place to learn skills, skill books have arrived at my doorstep!

Dafei immediately dashed into the sea and swam vigorously, beginning a contest against the waves

Telescope: Increases hero vision by 50%, Class C strategic treasure

No more words, let's focus on leveling up! The little flying general has allocated the strategic attribute points gained to attack, with 1 point of attack increasing the damage value of heroes and troops by 5%. In short, increasing attack is always the right choice! I refuse to believe that I can't catch up to kill these defenseless monsters while hunting skeletons.

Under the exuberance of great joy, Da Fei casually raised the telescope to gaze towards the direction of the deserted island. The shipwreck, which had just been indistinct, now came into clear view. The figure, amidst the blood-red waves, was still fighting desperately on the deck!

Da Fei suddenly realized that he had drifted far away from the island, to the point where he could no longer see the ship on the island! What the heck! Is this for real! Am I going to drown in the sea! It didn't matter if I died before leveling up, but if I die now and lose experience, that would be heartbreaking!

There is someone on the reef! A corpse that has decayed into a skeleton!
