I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 96: Return

PM.

After lunch, Rogel, having been dragged into conversation by his elders and friends, finally lay on his bed.

He wasn’t planning to return today.

The rental was quite far from his hometown, and he didn’t drive here.

He’d book a ticket back tomorrow.

As soon as Rogel lay down, ready to dive into the Mysterious Sea, his mom’s voice rang out.

"Xiao Luo, come over and check the washing machine. It seems to be broken."

Rogel’s eye twitched at her words.

To be honest, he really suspected his mom had some kind of superpower.

Every time he started to play a game, something would pop up.

He had just been sitting in the living room for quite a while without hearing a call.

Rogel got up, feeling a bit down.

...

The next day, Rogel returned early to his rental and continued his ocean adventure.

The second level of Harmony Cave.

The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry rode their war horses between the Dead Abandoned, swinging the Sharp Bone Spear, taking down enemies in swaths.

Following behind them, Rogel quickly dealt the final blows and extracted the spines of the Dead Abandoned.

[You have killed a Dead Abandoned Cavalry, gaining combat experience.]

[You have killed an Undertaker Laborer, gaining combat experience.]

[You have killed a Swift Young Bone, gained combat experience, level up!]

[...]

Boom!

With a huge crash, the last enemy on the Road of Abandoned Bones fell.

Confirming there was no danger around, Rogel began to clean the battlefield.

The experience from nearly a hundred monsters directly boosted Rogel’s level by four.

The spoils were also very generous.

Three Warrior’s Residual Spirits, two Traveler’s Residual Spirits, several Dead Abandoned’s weapons and equipment, and bone fragments piled up into a small mountain.

The materials gained were also noteworthy.

[Soul Powder]

[Type: Material]

[Quality: Purple]

[Quantity: 1]

[Explanation: Can be used for token upgrading.]

Soul Powder was obtained after Rogel killed a floating Dead Abandoned skull.

It seemed to be a material for token upgrading, but Rogel currently had no plans for upgrading tokens.

Perhaps a blueprint or something similar is needed?

[Ordinary Forging Stone]

[Type: Special Artifact]

[Quality: White]

[Usage Requirements: Blacksmith Lv3.]

[Special Effect: Placing the Forging Stone on ordinary weapons or equipment may grant an enhancement effect, improving equipment Attributes (Forging Stone quality affects success rate).]

[Explanation: The rarer your equipment, the stronger the effect, but the lower the success probability of enhancement.]

This was dropped by the Undertaker Laborer, with three obtained.

It was the first time Rogel saw the shadow of a Forging Stone.

He originally thought the game didn’t have a weapon enhancement system.

[Extraordinary Forging Stone]

[Type: Special Artifact]

[Quality: Green]

[Usage Requirements: Blacksmith Lv8, Mysticism Lv2.]

[Special Effect: Placing the Forging Stone on extraordinary weapons or equipment may grant an enhancement effect, improving equipment Attributes, and after reaching a certain enhancement level, may grant additional special effects.]

[Explanation: No one will dislike having too many Forging Stones, perhaps you should learn mining from the Undertaker Laborer.]

The Extraordinary Forging Stone was quite rare, with only one in hand.

"Too bad these monsters don’t refresh like in ordinary games."

As a result, the Forging Stones in Rogel’s possession became even more precious.

Subsequently, Rogel began assigning Attributes.

Four levels, a total of eight Attribute Points, evenly distributed between Body and Spirit.

With three Warrior’s Residual Spirits, Rogel applied two to Skeleton Stripping.

[Skeleton Stripping Lv3→Skeleton Stripping Lv5.]

He kept the remaining one as backup.

Two Traveler’s Residual Spirits went to Mysticism.

[Mysticism Lv3→Mysticism Lv5.]

Mysticism skills are still very useful.

Rogel still had one Traveler’s Residual Spirit kept unused from before.

[Title: Rogel]

[Level: 14]

[Body: 18]

[Spirit: 18+1)]

[Faith: 10]

[Tier: Extraordinary]

[Special Skills: Fog Flash Lv5, Knowledge Comprehension Lv1, Skeleton Stripping Lv5, Bone Control Skill Lv1, Bone Spirit Feeding Lv1, Skeleton Manipulation Lv1, Fighting Lv1.]

[Life Skills: Fishing Lv8, Mysticism Lv5, Blacksmith Lv5, Sailing Lv3, Artisan Lv2, Cooking Lv1, Planting Lv2...]

With the previous enhancements in skill levels and Attribute Points, Rogel’s strength had significantly improved again.

However, Rogel’s current focus was not on his information panel.

He was instead excitedly crouching in front of a pile of Dead Abandoned spinal bones.

[You have acquired one hundred human spinal bones!]

[Shell’s Will completed!]

[You can now equip Shell Remains: Eight-legged Warrior.]

Rogel withdrew the shell remains of the Eight-legged Warrior from his Item Inventory and chose to equip it.

At this time, a CG cutscene appeared in the game.

The shell remains of the Eight-legged Warrior slowly floated up from Rogel’s hand.

Then, it emitted a purple glow and flew toward the character’s chest in the game.

After merging into his body, the game character suddenly clutched his chest in pain.

A moment later, he recovered to normal.

[You equipped the Skeleton Centipede: Eight-legged Warrior’s shell remains.]

[The shell remains are bound to you and can be removed, but others cannot use them.]

[The shell remains cannot be upgraded or enhanced.]

[Please select one skill or talent from the shell remains to retain.]

[1, Broken Bone Cloak (consumes stamina or Spiritual Value, forms or attracts bone fragments to form a cloak, with average defense)]

[2, Eight-legged Warrior (consumes 500 Life Value, transforms into the Eight-legged Warrior form, greatly enhancing body strength)]

No need to think about it, it’s definitely the second option.

[Shell remains retained the talent—"Eight-legged Warrior."]

After making the choice.

Rogel pondered a question while rubbing his chin.

The shell remains could give him a shell appearance, so would he get the appearance of the Eight-legged Warrior or the original form of the Skeleton Centipede?

He decided to give it a try.

With a thought, the power of the shell remains was activated.

Then the body of the game character twisted and stretched like clay before shrinking.

Finally, it turned into a Skeleton Centipede.

"..."

"...Well, it’s not useless."

The small size of a Skeleton Centipede might come in handy in certain situations.

Luckily, he didn’t choose the Broken Bone Cloak, as the Skeleton Centipede without the Eight-legged Warrior form was just a monster bug.

Next, let’s try transforming into the Eight-legged Warrior!

After looking around the room, Rogel had an impulse, put down his phone, and drew the curtains.

Then he took a deep breath and excitedly summoned that power.

After spending 500 Life Value, a life-like bone fluid suddenly gushed from his spine at his back, spreading to various parts of his body from behind.

At the same time, his body size shot up rapidly.

Finally, the bone fluid solidified, and Rogel transformed from a human into a fierce monster, the Eight-legged Warrior.

Several jointed limbs extended from his back, with sharp spikes, dangerous and fierce.

"Wow, awesome!"

Seeing himself in the mirror, Rogel’s eyes lit up.

While others were still playing with fake transformation devices, he, Rogel, was already playing with the real thing.
