Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 293 - 245: Each Strives in Their Own Way

Another male player nodded, eyes full of admiration for the so-called expert he mentioned.

"What do you guys think, what level is the expert’s ability? I feel like it can’t be just rare, rare isn’t this strong."

He then lowered his voice and curiously asked the two people beside him.

"It should be extraordinary level, or maybe even the legendary epic layer..."

Another person thought for a moment and replied.

"He’s back! The expert is back!"

Then someone’s voice rang out, because what they had been expecting finally appeared on the sea below.

It was a gigantic shark, but this shark didn’t look fierce. Its eyes were filled with a human-like agility. As it swam near the ship, it suddenly leaped out of the water towards the deck. But don’t think this big guy was going to attack or bring food. Mid-air, before it hit the deck, it started to rapidly shapeshift. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a big shark into a long-haired, bearded human. Who else could it be but the player lying flat at the start of the game?

"Expert! Did you gain anything today?"

Discovering that the very person they were discussing had arrived, the three players immediately went up to him, eyes filled with anticipation.

"A lot of gains."

The long-haired, bearded player, who was a shark just a moment ago, immediately replied, with a hint of excitement in his eyes as well.

"I got reliable information from a giant octopus in the sea. It once saw a magical island in a region of the Storm Sea. I deduce that it should be the Forbidden Fruit Island. However, according to the information it provided, that island is not easy to land on and has quite powerful guardians."

The player referred to as an expert narrated, showing a few traces of seriousness in his expression.

"Oh my, expert, you are so strong. Plus, with our assistance, how could we not handle any guardians? If you can’t do it, I dare say no one else in this quest can!"

The female player, one of the three standing in front of him, immediately responded. Her words sounded like flattery, but her expression didn’t seem insincere at all.

"Yeah! Expert, all you need to do then is transform into the gorilla form, and you can surely pound those guardians into meat patties with just a few punches!"

"If you can’t handle it, then surely no one can clear this quest!"

The other two players immediately echoed, their words filled with admiration for this player.

"Seems that way..."

Amidst the trio’s flattering, a certain long-haired, bearded individual resembling an artist nodded slowly. He wasn’t lost in their praise, but rather, he carefully thought it over and concluded that he might indeed be the strongest among these players, just like in previous quests.

"Ah... you guys don’t know that being powerful comes with many troubles... I always have to solve the problems at the end of each quest. I can’t even slack off a little, and I’m often intentionally targeted by the quest... Ah, life, it’s truly lonely as snow, unbearably cold at the top!"

His words were quite heartfelt, adding a unique charm to his casually charming artist demeanor.

"Expert, we’re counting on you to lead us through the quest! Don’t abandon us!"

"Expert, just tell us! How do you want us to assist you? If you say go east, I won’t go west!"

"Expert... if you feel lonely, you can find me to chat at night."

...

The three players clinging to the expert’s leg continued to surround him, drowning him in words of praise, fearing that any bit of discontent would lead him to lay flat again.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the Great Horn Shark, which Wang Zhifan was on, had approached the edge of the Storm Sea. They could feel the surrounding waves becoming increasingly tumultuous, and the rocking and jolting of the ship grew much more intense than before.

"Captain, based on our observations and deductions, we should officially enter the Storm Sea in no more than two days."

At this moment, in the swaying captain’s cabin of the ship, Wang Zhifan remained his usual self, reclining diagonally on a chair covered with an exquisite fur mat. A dark-skinned middle-aged sailor entered to report the latest situation to him.

"Keep going, reach the Storm Sea as soon as possible."

Upon hearing the report, Wang Zhifan immediately opened his eyes and replied.

"Yes, sir."

The dark-skinned sailor responded promptly and swiftly turned to leave.

But just as he stepped out of the captain’s cabin, Wang Zhifan, who was lying on the chair, suddenly called after him.

"Wait, something’s up! Stop the ship first! Wait for my next instructions to set off!"

He said as he got up from the recliner and walked towards the doorway of the captain’s cabin, heading out to the rain-sprayed and rocking deck.

"Something’s up? Okay... I’ll have them drop anchor."

The dark-skinned middle-aged sailor, caught off guard by this sudden development, didn’t quite understand, but didn’t dare question Wang Zhifan’s command, and rushed out without asking.

"Is it because we’re close to the Storm Sea... why are the troubles increasing the further we go?"

In just a few seconds, Wang Zhifan had already left the captain’s cabin and stepped onto the deck, stepping on the rocking deck pushed back and forth by the waves as if walking on solid ground. His body remained stable, and the constantly falling rain couldn’t touch him at all, all deflected by the biological force field enveloping his clothes.

As he pondered in his mind, he reached the ship’s side, seeing that although the turbulent sea appeared generally unremarkable, his powerful perception ability told him an uninvited guest had appeared beneath the sea surface, and it was a rather large uninvited guest.

"Judging by the shape, it should be a large whale? Its aura is quite strong, and it feels significant hostility towards the Great Horn Shark. I wonder if it’s the so-called Sea God Envoy... it shouldn’t be that coincidental."

Completely releasing his perception ability, Wang Zhifan had almost entirely sensed the situation of the underwater entity before it even surfaced. He suspected it might be some kind of sea monster, possibly the Sea God Envoy mentioned in the intel he acquired, but that’s merely speculation.

He then began to think about how to handle this unfriendly yet potentially valuable entity, wanting to attempt communication. However, the massive presence hidden in the water had no intention of giving him the chance, as he soon saw a large shadow under the surface suddenly lunge towards the Great Horn Shark!

"How rude?"

Facing this sudden turn of events, Wang Zhifan naturally wouldn’t just let it happen, as that result would be near disastrous for the ship. He immediately unleashed his powerful ice powers, enveloping the sea’s surface in a chilling frost.

In an instant, the previously turbulent waves froze, and the surrounding sea seemed to enter a deep winter just in a blink. A thick layer of ice extended from the sea surface to the depths underneath, immobilizing the enormous creature due to its exposure to powerful ice source power, its entire body rapidly freezing.

"Places with water are undoubtedly advantageous for me to use the ice source power. Freezing such a large area doesn’t consume much energy."

After exerting his power, Wang Zhifan found that he still had plenty of remaining strength. He then increased the pressure, manipulating the already formed ice to move, forcibly lifting the massive underwater creature out of the sea.

He saw that it was indeed a whale-like creature with a sharp horn on its head, perhaps it could be named the Great Horn Whale. This fearsome entity was firmly controlled in his grasp, but not injured or killed.

"Can you understand what I’m saying?"

Wang Zhifan then tried to communicate with this huge sea monster. However, he had to give up quickly because the other side, despite his efforts, showed no intelligent response, acting entirely like a beast.

"Oh well, even a fool has its uses."

Feeling somewhat disappointed, he didn’t immediately end the sea monster, but instead pulled out a goblet-like item from his personal space, proceeding with the next operation.
