Navigator: I Have a Legendary Exploration Log

Chapter 107 Second-Tier Abilities

The body, which had been drained by the leap in life level, was restored to its original state under the nourishment of this Bloodthorn Fruit.

Chalice was amazed by the changes within himself.

In the past...

At level one, the effect of Bloodthorn Fruit is quite straightforward.

But Chalice is now at Tier 2.

Bloodthorn fruit is surprisingly effective.

There is only one reason —

That means Chalice's absorption efficiency has increased.

This is precisely the core competency of a connoisseur!

Chalice can taste food and obtain more and purer nutrients and energy. This almost brutal "life transfer" can help him greatly accelerate his recovery and the healing of his injuries.

As long as there is enough food, Chalice can eat while fighting without fear of getting injured.

This undoubtedly enhances Chalice's endurance.

What is the most feared thing when sailing at sea?

The worst-case scenario is that personnel or vessels are in poor condition and have to return to port.

The ship's doctor is now being held concurrently by Rumlow, which is barely sufficient.

It wasn't that his medical skills were particularly good, but rather that the medical conditions on the Homecoming were practically nonexistent.

Make bricks without straw.

Even the most skilled ship's doctor cannot perform surgery with bare hands.

Encountering some difficult and complicated diseases, serious illnesses and injuries.

There's nothing we can do; we can only wait to die.

The vessel's function also determines the captain's voyage range.

Although the Homecoming now possesses firepower, the lack of functional compartments such as the medical bay certainly makes it unsuitable as an exploration vessel.

Because it cannot achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency.

Therefore, they can only travel between islands at most, and cannot go to the unknown distance without hesitation.

But now Chalice isn't short of money.

The conversion of the medical pods can also be put on the agenda.

However, finding a ship's doctor is also a headache.

Fortunately, at least Chalice himself possesses a near-infinite regenerative ability, so he doesn't have to worry about being dragged down to death by his injuries.

Besides the most essential "tasting".

All of the gourmet's extraordinary abilities were fully enhanced after reaching the second tier.

Especially Chalis's keen eye for detail, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox.

Now, when he sees a target, he can immediately come up with various ideas on how to "operate" on it.

Not necessarily accurate.

But with just a little contact, Chalice can discern the target's weaknesses, and even the effects of old injuries cannot escape his notice.

Improving physical fitness involves more than just increasing strength, agility, and endurance.

Chalice can savor the spirit and characteristics of food, and his resistance to negative effects such as toxicity is greatly enhanced.

Some lower-level toxins are even ineffective against him!

Direct immunity!

The key point is that this resistance is also effective against pollution.

This gave Chalice more confidence in facing the unknown dark force.

Although I don't know who the other party is or what tricks they're playing—

However, judging from the Corpse Shark and the Bone, the mastermind behind the attack on Cherris is not particularly powerful.

Now, Chalice has not only advanced to the second tier, but also possesses a strong resistance sufficient to be immune to a portion of pollution.

Moreover, this resistance can be enhanced.

By trying small amounts slowly, Cheryl can gradually desensitize himself through the pain.

This gradually cultivates resistance to certain toxins or pollutants.

Connoisseur — Connoisseur —

Give Chalice enough time to properly appreciate his abilities so that his overall strength can reach its most perfect level.

Crackling sounds filled the air as Cheris clenched his fist.

He explained his improvement in detail to Jack.

There's nothing to hide.

Although the abilities of extraordinary individuals vary from person to person, such differences are not common.

Moreover, most of them exist at higher levels, and only extraordinary individuals themselves can have a sufficient impact on the changes after advancement.

The abilities of low-sequence extraordinary individuals are mostly similar.

After listening to Cheryl's story, Jack nodded.

"A very comprehensive enhancement. Appraisal is the core ability of your sequence, with amazing recovery and endurance, plus precise strikes against enemies, and resistances that can be trained and strengthened —"

Jack counted on his fingers and concluded: "The combination of a connoisseur's three main abilities is enough to give you a considerable advantage in protracted battles and complex environments."

"Most second-tier extraordinary individuals do not possess active abilities, but even if they do, they are not very strong."

"Especially, you still need weapons for attacks. I know you are very good at using firearms, and you also have two offensive artifacts with you."

"Looking at all the second-tier extraordinary individuals, your combat strength is not weak—in fact, it could be said to be very strong!"

"However—your abilities also have flaws."

Jack changed the subject, emphasizing, "Whether it's 'tasting' or developing resistance, you need plenty of high-quality food."

"If you want to maintain your advantage in a protracted battle, you need to ensure you have sufficient food reserves. You've worked in fishing before, and you were a captain, so you're unlikely to lack food when you're at sea."

"But there are no absolutes in the mysterious sea. You'd better bring enough food. In case you encounter an extreme environment where supplies are scarce or fishing is difficult, having enough food will at least prevent your abilities from becoming completely useless."

Listen to Jack's teachings.

Chalice nodded slightly.

Jack's words made a lot of sense, and he took them to heart.

As a seasoned Tier 3 Extraordinary, his vision and experience are indeed his strengths.

Many truths that Cheryl needed time to understand were now directly revealed by Jack, saving her the trouble of figuring them out herself.

These pieces of experience are sometimes knowledge that money can't buy.

"Thank you, Mr. Jack."

"These reminders are very important to me," Chalice said sincerely.

Jack waved his hand with satisfaction, "It's the best result that you were promoted smoothly—go back and adapt well, get used to your new body and spirit."

"With your experience and achievements, you are already at the level of a silver-class navigator."

Now that you've become a Tier 2 Extraordinary, and you've met the basic requirements, I'll immediately write a promotion report for you!

"Besides, after what happened with the evil god statue, I doubt those guys would dare to object!"

Chalice, of course, would not be modest.

This is the result he risked his life for.

Humility is a good quality.

But often—

Excessive humility can appear hypocritical and may cause you to miss out on readily available opportunities.

Not to mention that Jack took the initiative to propose it, so Cheryl has absolutely no reason to refuse.

Silver-class navigators signify higher authority and better treatment.

When it comes to interests, we must fight for them!

"I'll go write your promotion report right away. Go find that guy Sartre!"

Jack laughed, "You're on the same level as him now. I really want to see what kind of expression that old guy has."

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Cheryl smiled as she tidied up the clutter, and Jack casually broke the pure, spiritual atmosphere with a flick of his wrist, and the two left the room.

I just got back upstairs.

Chalice saw a little girl in tattered clothes standing at the door of Jack's office, and Susanna standing next to her looking anxious.

Upon seeing Chalice, the little girl with dry, yellow hair sniffed, but still mustered her courage and walked up, clutching the hem of her skirt.

"Captain, please save my mother!"
