Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 3 Cracks
female?
Chen Qi turned his head, blinked, and was slightly startled.

Someone actually offered to take him!

Before him stood a black-haired woman wearing a half-raven mask and dressed in a black apothecary's robe.

The ship's only doctor, and one of the few educated people, was known by most people as Little Crow, as they did not know her real name.

Even from the half of her fair face that was exposed, it was still clear that she was a young woman, a stark contrast to the bloodthirsty pirate crew before her.

Chen Qi's gaze involuntarily fell on the ship's doctor, his pupils shrinking slightly!

He knows the other person!
To be precise, it means browsing the other person's profile in popular videos.

As a transmigrator from another world of games, I've finally encountered a character I recognize!

This is a very popular game character in Japan and China.

He is a crazy pirate doctor who is obsessed with studying deep-sea creatures. He has an insane love for deep-sea creatures, but he also has a second identity beneath his crazy behavior.

That was an undercover agent planted by the authorities within the Black Whale Pirate Crew.

She secretly sent out information about the Black Whale Pirates, sabotaging many of their operations and saving many lives.

In the mid-game, in order to stop the Black Whale Pirates' massacre of the city, she injected herself with a lethal mutation potion, transforming into a banshee. Amidst her desperate cries, she defeated thousands of pirates and nearly a hundred players who participated in the city defense battle.

With her stunningly beautiful face distorted before her death and her unique story, she became quite famous among players, giving rise to many fan creations.

Many Witch Sea players joined the evil forces, spamming "Resurrect!" under the official videos, wanting to revive the deceased Miss Raven and change her fate.

Of course, with Chen Qi's current strength, he can't even control his own destiny, let alone change the destiny of others.

Although he was able to defeat Black Bull, in the end, he was just an ordinary person who had not yet stepped into the path of the extraordinary, and could only leave his fate to be controlled by others.

But this is also quite good news. If he can work under Little Raven, at least his life will be much safer than under other fierce pirates.

Captain Blackeye stood up and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke:
"You want this person? Has the last helper died again, little crow? This is the seventh one already."

Seven people died... Chen Qi felt like he had been slapped in the face. Working under this ship's doctor didn't seem very safe after all.

The little crow crouched down, its face, fragrant with medicine, leaning closer, its red eyes sweeping across his face:

"Yes, I have repeatedly instructed him, but he still made a mistake in handling the medicinal materials. I need a new assistant, someone who can read and learn quickly."

Captain Black Eyes asked:
"Can you read, kid?"

"Ah."

Chen Qi nodded confidently; like the ship's doctor, he was also educated.

Captain Blackeye pondered for a moment, then patted Chen Qi on the shoulder:

"Alright, kid, work hard with Little Crow."

Our Black Whale Pirate Crew never mistreats those with ability. If you join us, you'll earn ten times more money than you did working hard before!
"Once we return, I'll give you ten gold coins. Then everyone who looked down on you will be kneeling and licking your shoes."

Ten gold coins! That's enough to buy a decent small house in a big city!
"That's quite a big promise, Captain," Chen Qi could only feign delight and nod.

From now on, he will be an assistant to the ship's doctor.

The little crow turned around:
"Come with me to the ship's medical room; you have a mission today."

"Yes, little... crow... big sister."

Chen Qi followed, because of the forum, he had almost called the other person "Little Crow".

Although the player sees the other party as a cute yet cunning Miss Raven, she is now their undisputed boss, someone they can't defy.

If the other party says one, he absolutely cannot say two!
The ship's medical room is located on the second deck of the ship and is a fairly large, separate cabin.

His original 'living' place was a slave quarters, where more than fifty people were crammed together, the air stuffy and foul.

The ship's medical room in front of us was the size of three slave quarters.

The room was filled with a faint, mixed smell of herbs and disinfectant.

Light filters through frosted glass windows and copper chandeliers, casting dappled shadows on wooden wainscoting and copper medical instruments.

On the wooden platform to the left, there are seven glass jars containing sea creatures.

Chen Qi excitedly scanned the room before him. His starting point was an absolute blank slate, with only a tiny house in his original owner's hometown, Maro Town.

How wonderful it would be if he could have a room like that in another world too.

The little crow entered the ship's infirmary, and after confirming that the door was closed, whispered:

"Take off your clothes!"

"???"

Chen Qi blinked, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

Take it off?

I had heard on the forum that the Witch Sea region in the game was a place of outstanding people and simple folk customs, but I never expected it to be so powerful!
He had never been ordered around like this before and was momentarily stunned.

Without giving Chen Qi time to think, the little crow spoke again in a commanding tone:

"Take it off."

"OK……"

Although he was very unwilling, he had no power to resist and had to endure it for a while.

Only when he becomes strong enough can he turn the tables!

Chen Qi immediately took off his shirt, which was stained with blood and sweat, revealing his upper body.

His body after transmigrating could not be described as robust; in the world, there are countless people with such ordinary bodies.

Aside from the azure 'tattoo' on his back, due to the sea monster infecting his spine, a blue pattern resembling a spider or tentacles could be clearly seen on his back.

The little crow bent down, its gaze focused and sharp, staring at the pattern behind Chen Qi.

"As expected, you've been infected by a special sea beast. This sea beast doesn't suck blood, doesn't damage subcutaneous tissue, and doesn't have the unique aura of sea beasts. It's surprisingly gentle..."

Just as Chen Qi and Black Bull were dueling, Little Crow noticed his back. As a ship's doctor specializing in deep-sea creatures, she had developed a terrifying fascination with them!
Most sea creatures are highly aggressive towards humans, and even she, who has seen a lot, had never seen such a special sea creature before!

The sea beast's quiet demeanor seemed to have merged with Chen Qi!
"Hoo, hoo... How amazing. It's a pity there are no machines on this ship to safely examine your spine deep inside your body."

This sea creature might just be able to write a paper that resonates throughout the medical community!
And it seems quite cute!
The little crow trembled slightly, her face flushed red, and even her tone became incredibly excited. She unconsciously reached out and slowly touched it:

"Ah, ah~"

“Crow…Big Sister…”

Sister Crow, calm down!

Chen Qi reminded him, as he could clearly feel the scorching breath of the little crow behind him.

The other party's fascination and obsession with sea monsters had exceeded his expectations!

Deep-sea control, how terrifying!
If he didn't warn them, the other person might reach into his body and pull his spine out alive in the next second!

Although she looks delicate, she is a genuine superhuman!
"Cough, cough..."

Upon hearing the reminder, the little crow coughed twice and adjusted its mask.

"Change your clothes later, then take a good shower. Oh, and find a secluded place to change, preferably without being seen by outsiders. There are guys in that group who like your type."

She immediately adopted the demeanor of a professional ship's doctor and took out a set of clean clothes from a cabinet.

Cotton coats, shirts, trousers, and non-slip boots and gloves.

"Thank you, Sister Crow."

Chen Qi smelled strongly of blood and sweat, and his tattered clothes definitely needed to be changed.

He took the clothes, touched them, and found the workmanship to be quite good.

Ok?
There was a hard object under the clothes!
Chen Qi took out the hard object, and the blue, illusory text reappeared before his eyes.

Collector:
Description: A brass steam pistol, made using a special process, with twice the penetrating power of a regular pistol.

A pistol? Why are you giving this to me?

Chen Qi's mouth opened slightly, startled by this sudden surprise.

This thing is much better than a scimitar!
In the Witch Sea, pistols are not rare, but this pistol is made with a special process, and its higher penetrating power gives it the ability to deal with monsters.

Although this weapon doesn't have any extraordinary elements, it's very famous on player forums. Made by Iron Hammer Armory, it's definitely a must-have for pioneering new areas!
In a pay-to-win game, you'd have to spend at least 648 yuan to get it as a gift!
"Why, Sister Crow?"

Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat and looked at the little crow.

You should know that the value of this gun could probably buy five slaves like him!
Seeing the other's panicked expression, the little crow revealed a pleased smile:

"You are my henchman, and I don't want another henchman to die so easily. Besides, you have great medical value."

In short, this is for your survival; you'll need it immediately.

The little crow picked up its notebook and pen, drew the back it had just seen, and smiled with fascination.

"We'll be using... guns soon?"

Chen Qi tilted his head, looking completely bewildered.

The little crow placed its finger on its chin:

"Don't you know? I remember now, you were a slave before, and you had no idea where the Sawshark was headed."

"Isn't the Sawshark's destination a big city?"

The Sawshark housed a large number of slaves, so Chen Qi subconsciously believed that their target was a certain city.

Men like him are highly likely to be sold to some perverted, wealthy female businesswomen! Experience the allure of a cunning and wealthy woman!
The little crow picked up a list of medicines from the table:
"No, the Sawshark's next destination is not a city, but a rift, a dangerous rift located in the deep sea."

The other party calmly stated a terrifying fact.

"crack!"

A simple word instantly made Chen Qi's heart pound.

In the setting of New Sun, rifts are channels connecting to other worlds. Within rifts, there are extraordinary powers, technologies, and resources.

The entire New Sun World was able to survive in a world without the sun precisely because of the power of the rift.

The extraordinary items, powers, and technologies within are treasures sought after by countless people.

Of course, the rarer and more extraordinary the item, the more dangerous it is.

Risks and opportunities coexist!
For most ordinary people, cracks are places that change their destiny.

For players, the fastest way to become stronger in the early stages is to go to a rift and obtain extraordinary resources!

Given the rarity of his talent, will this crisis end so quickly...?

Chen Qi lowered his head and stroked the beautiful Collector in his hand.

His intuition told him that the rift the Sawshark was heading towards was no simple beginner rift.

The danger of the cracks will bring fear and chaos, and in the midst of fear and chaos, it will be the perfect opportunity for him to escape.

An opportunity to escape the Black Whale Gang!

Chen Qi's heart was beating faster and faster, and he couldn't help but look out the window of the ship's medical room.

Black waves rolled and the increasing fog began to engulf the Sawshark.

They brought so many slaves to the rift in the sea...

The survival rate of the cracks is probably not very high going forward.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

Extraordinary achievements, and the freedom that rightfully belonged to him, might be right before his eyes.
