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

Chapter 34 One Finger
"A dining boat?"

An's eyes lit up.

Sea-going dining boats are a unique industry in the Witch Sea.

Some cracks will be born on remote seas, attracting countless voyages.

At this time, if there were a fragrant dining boat next to the crack, it would attract many people.

You can make a lot of money without risking entering the rift.

The tide of cracks has arrived, and the cracks in the sea will become more and more numerous!

This is indeed a path to wealth.

Of course, without sufficient strength, it's easy for others to dine and dash.

An Min took a small sip of wine:
"So, you're also planning to join the tide?"

An could tell that Chen Qi wasn't the kind of person who could settle down as a chef.

The sea-going restaurant was merely one reason for him to venture into the cracked waves.

Like many pirates, they often disguised themselves as merchants, whale hunters, or explorers.

"Ah."

Chen Qi nodded.

He has advanced to the first tier, but with his current strength, he may not be able to defeat a first-tier superhuman with good equipment and awareness.

There is still much room for improvement in his abilities.

Maro Town is a great starting village that can provide him with a lot of help.

However, if you stay in the starting village, your progress will be slow.

Moreover, he now possesses the treasure map of the deep-sea hunters, as well as deep-sea affinity.

The dangerous waves would actually make him feel safer.

Chen Qi took a sip of wine:
"Yes, there should be many opportunities in the outside world, and I want to go and explore."

An arrived with spirit:
"Oh? There are quite a few people in Maro Town who are also preparing to go to sea. Aren't you interested in joining a group with them? For example, Little Maro, he's... um... quite well equipped."

Chen Qi glanced at the dizzy little Marlo.

Although it was somewhat rude, the other person seemed like a terrible teammate no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, if someone saw him peacefully coexisting with sea monsters like the Black Ship Sea Dragon, they would probably immediately label him as having the blood of an ancient god.

"Hmm... I'm not interested for now. Opening a restaurant at sea is a small business, so I won't be joining a group."

"Is that so! You actually dared to go to the sea of ​​rift tides alone, you're quite brave."

An drank a small glass of wine, her face flushed, and she was slightly drunk.

Mayor Maro downed his drink in one gulp, then lowered his head and patted his drunken son, little Maro.

"Yes, it's not an easy thing to climb to a higher level in the Rift Tide. My precious son always encounters strange things every time he goes out to sea."

The crack tide is not simply about increasing the number of cracks; the entire ocean will become extremely dangerous, and ancient creatures will revive in the deep sea.

The Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom cruise ship, which was attacked by a black monster not long ago, is the best example.

On that cruise ship of the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom, there were many experts who were third-level superhumans, but none of them were able to escape the disaster!

Even setting aside the black monster, many fishermen on Maro Island have recently spotted a terrifying near-shore predator.

Some people were chased by a black skeleton while returning home at night, and the black monster disappeared only when they saw the lighthouse.

Because of their fear of these monsters, many fishermen have already begun to move away.

Mayor Maro finished the last skewer of grilled squid and glanced at the time.

It's already this late, and he still hasn't gone home!

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and his hand holding the wine trembled slightly.

"Thank you, it was a very delicious dinner."

It's late at night, and my wife is still waiting for me at home. As the head of the household, I need to go home early. The nights have been a bit unsettling lately; she'll be scared if I'm not there.

Mayor Maro hurriedly carried his drunken son off the boat.

An blushed and said nothing, but quietly looked at Chen Qi.

Then, she leaned on the table, raised her flushed face, and suddenly spoke:

"To be honest, Kei, although I don't know why, I feel that you might be more suited to be a hunter than a chef."

Although Ann is the tavern owner's daughter, she doesn't seem to be very good at drinking.

"Yeah."

Chen Qi took a sip of wine.

How can a chef not be a hunter?

On player forums, the chef has a powerful title reminiscent of Monster Hunter.

When others see a monster, their first reaction is likely to be that they can't beat it, but a chef's first reaction is to ask if it's edible.

In the eyes of many chefs, many dangerous monsters are nothing more than ingredients.

"Oh, and don't forget, the path to becoming a mage is always open for you. Of course, getting a Tier 2 class card from above isn't an easy task."

She shook her head and patted her flushed face to keep herself alert.

Deep down, she actually hoped that Chen Qi would encounter some minor troubles after setting sail.

Then he slunk back, crying and telling her that he shouldn't have been so brave. Then, at her suggestion, he chose the principles of the book and embarked on the path of a mage!
The other person's personality is not suitable for following the orthodox path of a mage.

But perhaps one could become a professional knowledge hunter unique to the White Tower Federation, or even enter the legendary Thirteen Hunter Associations [White Tower].

However, newcomers to the sea always encounter a lot of troubles.

But I'm afraid the trouble will be too great and it will wipe out Chenqi people.

I wish him a safe journey.

Finally, Ann shook her head, stood up, and said goodbye.
Do you have a destination at sea? When do you plan to set sail?

"The destination at sea..." Chen Qi pondered.

His destinations are either the treasures of deep-sea hunters or dangerous areas teeming with sea monsters!

He thought for a moment, then said:
"I plan to go to Moonstone City to gather some information first. If all goes well, I can set sail tomorrow."

"tomorrow!"

An was startled.

She touched her chin, then gave a mysterious look:

"Your bounty should arrive by tomorrow night. Perfect timing, I'll apply for something for you, it should be done by tomorrow night." "?"

"See you tomorrow."

……

……

After they left.

Chen Qi tidied up the small houseboat.

Afterward, he paced around the small houseboat for a while, and after confirming that no one was around, he took out the treasure map from his backpack.

The treasure map of the deep-sea hunter!

He had already digested the hunter's embers; now, this treasure map was his most precious possession.

The Deepsea Hunter is a legend of the Witch Sea, and the treasures he left behind are enough to change the life of an ordinary superhuman.

And who knows, there might even be the legendary Tier 4 class card, Deep Sea Hunter, inside!
Of course, he's only at Tier 1 now, so Tier 4 class cards aren't something he's considering.

This treasure map is crucial for rapid development.

Chen Qi opened the ancient parchment scroll and examined it carefully.

The information about the deep-sea hunter's treasure only indicates the location, not the contents of the treasure. Instead, it uses images to summarize the contents of the treasure.

Chen Qi examined it carefully.

I wonder if there's a suitable place for the Deep Sea Hunter on his treasure map.

Suddenly, Chen Qi's eyes lit up.

He found that in front of each treasure location, there was a blurry drawing of a human organ.

He scanned from top to bottom.

Is that protrusion a finger?

Are those round things eyes?

Is that a hand?

Are these legs?
This thing is crooked and twisted, could it be a brain?

As Chen Qi scanned the information from top to bottom, he discovered that each piece of treasure information was preceded by an extremely abstract drawing of human organs.

Could the treasure of the deep-sea hunter actually contain his remains?
Chen Qi's expression turned serious as he immediately considered various possibilities.

Could it be that by collecting all these treasures and combining them, one can summon a brand new deep-sea hunter?

"no no……"

Chen Qi quickly dismissed this guess.

Before the information on this treasure map, several treasure information items marked with brains appeared.

If this is indeed the remains of a deep-sea hunter, then what is pieced together is a monster with multiple brains.

Moreover, based on the legendary descriptions of deep-sea hunters, they don't seem like people with multiple brains at all.

Besides that, there are many hands. Does the Deep Sea Hunter have many hands? It can't be a tentacle monster, can it?

So, what do these patterns mean?

Chen Qi fell into deep thought.

Having no other option, he had to look at the parchment scroll again.

On the back of the parchment scroll, there are illegible words.

Chen Qi stared wide-eyed, examining the scene closely.

The above content seems to be an explanation of these organ patterns!

Chen Qi hurriedly checked the explanations of these messages.

【

Fingers: I can take care of the sea monster next to this treasure with just one finger.

Eyes: The sea creature beside this treasure, my deep eyes, stare at it, and it will die.

Hand: The sea monster next to this treasure is a bit too powerful; this hunter has to use his hands.

Legs: A true deep-sea monster; there's no other way but to use legs too.

Body: A terrifying foe. Even I would have to use the full power of my body to get the treasure from a monster of this level.

Brain: Damn it, damn it, we'll have to use our brains to defeat this terrifying ancient monster.

】

what?
After reading it in the morning, Chen Qi frowned, just like the old man on the subway.

What the hell?
Do these human figures correspond to the difficulty of obtaining the treasure?

The deep-sea hunters categorized the treasures on this site into multiple levels based on the parts of the human body they were traversed.

Having run so many dungeons, Chenqi has seen them use hearts, stars, letters, and length to indicate difficulty.

This is the first time I've seen someone use organs to describe the difficulty of a dungeon.

Perhaps the deep-sea hunter has developed some mental issues during his long hunting career.

After venting my frustrations in the morning, I scanned the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure map again:

"Alright, at least I know what these patterns mean now..."

With his current strength, he cannot venture into very deep waters.

Even the easiest 'finger' puzzles are mostly set in remote sea areas.

Chen Qi looked at each piece of treasure information, trying to find a destination he could go to now.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Near Moonstone City, there is a rift, within which lies the treasure of the deep-sea hunters!
Before the information about the treasure, there was a circle drawn, which should be a description of the treasure, but it's unclear what it is.

And the difficulty is the simplest: a finger!
The rift near Moonstone City is a pretty good target!

It just so happens that he also needs to make a trip to Moonstone City to sell the spices on the ship, as well as Iron Hand's mechanical arm.

At the same time, as a large city, Moonstone City also has special weapon shops, and he also needs to go there to purchase many things.

However, he still had one small question.

Chen Qi closed his eyes, tapped his forehead with his index finger, and asked himself:
"Am I as strong as a single finger of a Deepsea Hunter?"
