[I have always wanted to go out to sea to find my parents. Even if they are no longer here, I still want to find the answer.]
[but…]
Having said this, Lina hesitated and fell silent.
Hearing Lina's words, Roger's heart moved.
This game has such a high degree of freedom, so maybe I can try to invite NPCs to become my partners and go sailing together
After all, there is strength in numbers. Although your game character can do a lot of things, there are always some things that one person cannot do.
Lina, who is proficient in medicine, seems to be a good choice.
However, Lina seemed to have her concerns.
[Perhaps we can go to sea together. I really need a ship doctor like you.]
Roger tried to extend an invitation.
But he felt that Lina might not agree so easily.
As expected, Lina smiled.
[I'm glad you invited me, but I have no plans to do so, at least not now.]
[If there is a chance in the future, I will consider it. ]
After saying that, Lina changed the subject, as if she didn't want to continue talking about going out to sea for the time being.
Rogge was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. He just needed to express his intention.
The two chatted for a while again.
Roger talked to Lina about the topic of supernatural powers again.
[Magical power... Speaking of this, I seem to have heard some rumors.]
[It is said that outside the sea fog of the five seas, there are people who possess extraordinary power. They can summon storms or control people's minds.]
[A few years ago, a fleet came to Sea Snake Island, and their captain seemed to be this kind of person, but this is just a rumor I heard.]
Speaking of mysterious supernatural powers, Lina also seems to be full of curiosity.
However, whether it is the Hefeng Sea or other seas in the five major seas, the extraordinary powers are only limited to rumors, and very few people have actually seen them.
After chatting for a while, Lina said it was getting late and she had to go back to the clinic, and told Roger to come to the clinic to find her if he had anything.
Roger readily agreed.
After saying goodbye to Lina, he went to the shipwright and blacksmith.
[A large boat that can accommodate five or six people? ]
[At least fifty gold coins are needed, and there are not enough materials now, so we need to wait for a while before we can start working. ]
Inside the Sea Snake Island Shipyard, shipwright Felix, holding a cigarette in his mouth and moving his hands constantly, answered without turning his head.
Roger nodded after hearing this.
Just now in the tavern, he had a general understanding of the prices in this world.
First of all, there are three denominations of currency in the game world, from low to high, namely copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, with an exchange value of one hundred.
An average family's annual consumption is only a few gold coins.
The current balance in Rogge's wallet is 60 silver coins and 82 copper coins, which is still a long way from enough to buy a large ship.
Of course, Rogge didn't expect to get a big ship right now. He just wanted to find out the price first. Another thing was more important.
[Mr. Felix, are you recruiting apprentices? ]
Rogge plans to learn skills and upgrade himself, which may save a lot of money.
Hearing this, Felix paused, wiped his hands with a cloth, and looked at Rogge.
Roger originally thought he would say something like "It's not that easy to learn my skills."
But I never thought that he would give a price very straightforwardly.
[10 silver coins per month.]
Roger paid the money straightforwardly, and Felix asked him to choose a time to come here tomorrow.
Then he followed Lina's instructions and came to the blacksmith Chad's shop.
Compared to the boatman Felix, the blacksmith Chad is more enthusiastic.
[You are a young man who has just gone to sea. What do you want to buy? ]
After a while of conversation, Rogge got a general idea of the prices of items in the weapons shop.
Dagger: 3 silver coins, machete: 8 silver coins, flintlock: 5 gold coins, and some armor and protective gear have higher prices, and customized weapons and equipment are accepted.
After pondering for a moment, Roger took out a rusty knife from his pocket.
Please repair this knife.
After handing the rusty knife and the repair fee to Chad, Roger left the weapon shop and returned to the boat at the dock.
There are rooms in the pub, but you have to pay.
Roger would never spend this money. How comfortable would it be to sleep in his own boat
Just as Rogge was about to board the boat, a familiar figure with his hands behind his back stopped him.
[Come to the house and sleep.]
After Old Nelson finished speaking, he didn't give Roger a chance to refuse and turned around and walked into the room.
Roger felt a little touched.
"Meow~"
The little orange cat meowed and followed Roger into old Nelson's cabin.
…
The night passed and the sun rose.
Roger stood up and found a cooked fish on the table, which must be the breakfast prepared by old Nelson.
As for old Nelson, he should have already left.
Roger didn't hesitate and left old Nelson's cabin after breakfast.
Leaving a note behind, Roger decided to go out to sea to fish for treasure.
"Don't sleep, Big Orange."
Before leaving, Rogge smiled and lifted the little orange cat, who was still sleeping, onto the boat regardless of the big orange cat's struggle.
Daju is the name that Roger gave to the little orange cat, very casually.
Soon, Rogge arrived at a sea area not far from the Sea Snake Island by boat.
There is a stone island made up of reefs here.
After tying the boat with a rope, Rogge threw out another sea fish clone to explore the seabed.
And I started fishing on the island.
At present, with the fourth-level fishing skill and the bonus of talent, Rogge rarely catches junk.
At the very least, they are all sea fish.
Occasionally you might even catch some more expensive fish.
[You caught: Sea fish x 1. ]
[You caught: White Squid x 1. ]
…
Time passes slowly.
The underwater treasure that Roger was expecting still did not appear.
Even the skeletons that contained hidden items were not seen.
This made Roger a little depressed.
But he also knew that this situation was very normal.
In the Hefeng waters, many people have the habit of fishing or even diving.
If there are any particularly valuable treasures, they are most likely in the deep sea.
But Rogge's current game character can't dive too deep.
Unless you have a special biological clone.
Plurk.
Just as Roger was thinking, the float on the fishing rod moved.
The little man was familiar with letting out the line, reeling in the rod, and finally lifting the rod.
Roger didn't care at first.
But what he didn't expect was that the goods were actually shipped this time!
[The "Fishing Master" talent effect is triggered! ]
[You caught a special item: Magic Potion - Intern.]
[Fishing skill experience increased, current level lv6. ]
