I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 117 - 112: Treasure Map
Upon seeing this line of information, Rogel thought for a moment and temporarily canceled the auto-exploration, projecting the view seen by the Deep Sea Blood Touch onto the screen.
At this time, the Deep Sea Blood Touch had already reached the deeper sea area, where there was practically no light.
However, relying on the Deep Sea Blood Touch’s powerful perception, Rogel could still see the scene clearly.
This cave appeared on a small underwater stone hill.
Rogel wanted to control the Deep Sea Blood Touch to enter, but suddenly encountered an awkward problem.
The Deep Sea Blood Touch now had a body length of three meters; in comparison, this cave was really too small.
...It couldn’t get in.
But Rogel wasn’t willing to give up.
He thought about it and had the Deep Sea Blood Touch try to pry open the cave entrance directly.
Fortunately, the Deep Sea Blood Touch was strong enough to accomplish this.
So, with both the Giant Claw and Bone Blade in use, and its tentacles assisting from the side, Rogel finally managed to open the originally narrow cave.
The space inside was a little more open, and now the Deep Sea Blood Touch could enter.
"It’s just not very convenient to turn around."
However, this didn’t matter, as the tentacles of the Deep Sea Blood Touch allowed it to maneuver forward and backward flexibly.
Seeing that it could enter the cave, Rogel reactivated the auto-exploration.
Exploring caves was mentally draining, so it was better to leave it to auto-exploration.
[The Deep Sea Blood Touch has entered the cave.]
[This cave isn’t big, there’s only one path, and it seems to have been dug out by some creature.]
[After exploring for a while, the Deep Sea Blood Touch reached the end of the cave.]
[The Deep Sea Blood Touch discovered the remains of a strange creature holding an Iron Box.]
[The Deep Sea Blood Touch carefully searched around but couldn’t find a key.]
A strange creature holding an Iron Box?
What the heck?
Rogel was a bit curious and too lazy to look for the key, so he let the Deep Sea Blood Touch go ahead and open the Iron Box.
[The Iron Box was tightly locked.]
[The Deep Sea Blood Touch attempted to dismantle it violently.]
[The Deep Sea Blood Touch used Ultimate Breathless Touch, successfully creating an opening in the Iron Box.]
[The Deep Sea Blood Touch expanded this opening.]
[You obtained the items from the Iron Box.]
Fortunately, this Iron Box wasn’t like the Treasure Chest inside the cave that couldn’t be broken no matter what.
[During the dismantling of the Iron Box, something inside seemed to be shattered.]
[You obtained Gold Coins ×23.]
[You obtained a Treasure Map of the Giant Claw Sea Area.]
[You obtained Broken Potion Bottle ×3.]
What???
The potion got shattered?
Rogel spat out a mouthful of old blood; it felt like heartache.
The original plan was to save trouble by letting the Deep Sea Blood Touch dismantle it directly, but now the contents got ruined.
Feels like a billion-dollar loss, damn!
No, reload!
Rogel chose to reload.
After a series of repeated operations, Rogel found the Iron Box again.
This time, learning from his lesson, he didn’t attempt to dismantle it violently, but instead stored the Iron Box away and teleported to the Underwater Cave.
Later, Rogel’s game character, wearing only underwear, teleported to the Underwater Cave to retrieve the Iron Box.
Using the Key’s teleportation function, Rogel successfully retrieved the Iron Box.
"Take care when dismantling it."
Rogel, wearing a pair of shorts, ran to the forge, picked up tools, and started tapping on the Iron Box.
After a series of operations, Rogel finally obtained the contents undamaged.
[You obtained Gold Coins ×23.]
[You obtained a Treasure Map of the Giant Claw Sea Area.]
[You obtained three bottles of potions with unknown effects.]
[Mysticism lv5 provided you with some related information; it seems to be a potion with a beneficial effect.]
"Give it a try."
For this kind of potion, Rogel only needed to try it to know the effect.
After saving a file, he controlled the game character to drink the potion.
[You consumed a potion with unknown effects.]
[You temporarily gain the skill—Underwater Breathing lv5.]
[You can now breathe underwater, remaining time 30 minutes.]
After loading the file, Rogel stored it away.
The Underwater Breathing effect was undoubtedly very practical.
These three bottles of Underwater Breathing Potion could be extremely useful at some point in the future.
[Treasure Map of the Giant Claw Sea Area]
[Type: Item]
[Effect: According to the blurry hints on it, you might be able to find the treasure.]
[Explanation: Or it might be just a big pile of crap.]
Why does this explanation have a whiff?
Rogel’s mouth twitched, and he opened the Treasure Map to have a look.
After taking a look, Rogel frowned.
What, what, what is this? Is this the work of an abstract artist?
If the explanation didn’t say it was a Treasure Map, I would have thought it was some doodle from a wastebasket.
Who the hell can understand these round and abstract things?!
Wait?
Round?
Just about to give up trying to interpret it, Rogel suddenly recalled a critical point.
If these abstract round things were regarded as a kind of creature...
Then wouldn’t these two wavy lines beside them just be a rift valley?
Rogel was taken aback.
This thing seems to point exactly to the place mentioned in that travelogue?!
"Hiss..."
Rogel rubbed his chin, feeling the matter was not simple.
Even though he figured out a bit now, it’s still too abstract!
It’s really hard to understand!
"If this messy doodle is Bali Island, then this direction is..."
Rogel frowned.
Subsequently, he switched to True Perspective, specifically checking out Bali Island from the ship’s bow.
But for now, he could only get a rough idea.
"Forget it, I’ll stroll around the island tomorrow, get a sense of its shape, and then I can figure out which direction this thing is pointing to."
Aboard the Gelin, Rogel simply couldn’t get a clear view.
Rogel had no choice but to look again tomorrow.
However, he didn’t immediately choose to sleep, instead allowing the Deep Sea Blood Touch to continue exploring.
...
Meanwhile, on a lonely island in another sea area.
"Cough cough cough!"
After a bout of severe coughing, Aitar awoke from unconsciousness.
Looking at the surroundings, his expression was a bit dazed.
"Awake?"
At this moment, a man’s voice came from beside him.
This person, disheveled and with very long hair, greatly resembled a wild man.
The clothes seemed to be made of some kind of fur.
He sat beside a blazing campfire, roasting fish skewered with wooden sticks.
"Here."
The man handed the fish towards Aitar.
"Who needs your fish?"
Aitar immediately frowned and replied.
But after saying this, he felt the urge to slap himself twice.
Hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and chuckled.
"Suit yourself then."
After a while of silence, Aitar still came near the fire, picking up the fish.
He decided not to speak anymore.
The man didn’t speak either, merely quietly picked up another fish to roast.
Aitar then endeavored to recall the encounter before waking up.
A moving Reef Mountain, monstrous waves overturning his small boat...
