Navigator: I Have a Legendary Exploration Log

The clerk behind the counter didn't ask any further questions.

After lingering on that gloomy, handsome face for a couple of seconds, she decisively smiled and gestured for Cheryl to come with her.

"Bullshit... Why don't I have dedicated service?!"

A man waiting to handle his business nearby watched the two leave, muttering discontentedly, "Just because he's pretty boy doesn't mean he's so popular?"

Hey! Man!

A blond youth laughed and said, "You'd better keep your voice down. Take your useless brain out of your shoe heel and use it again. Think carefully about what kind of people hang out on the second floor."

"What do you mean!?"

"Nothing else, buddy, I just don't want your blood to splatter on me, and I don't want to incur the wrath of that extraordinary person."

"Oh... damn it! He's so young, yet he's already achieved so much..."

"Not only is he an extraordinary individual, but he's also wearing a captain's badge. Buddy, you'd better pray that gentleman didn't hear you..."

"Oh God..."

……

The second floor of the Navigators' Association.

Compared to the noisy and bustling hall with hundreds of people at any time

It's noticeably quieter here.

There are probably only fifty or so people.

Half of them are staff members, who are scattered around the sofas providing one-on-one service to guests.

"Please wait a moment, the clerk who will assist you is on his way."

Before leaving, the clerk tossed his hair and subtly winked at Chalice.

The latter ignored this and simply picked up the coffee that had been prepared on the coffee table.

The clerk, who had hoped to curry favor with the young lady, left disappointed.

But soon.

A familiar figure appeared in front of Cherris.

"Oh my god! It's you?!"

Susanna's surprise seemed genuine.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Susanna, but let's get down to business!"

Chalice's directness only made Susanna's smile even brighter.

"Okay. You're going upstairs because you've become an Extraordinary One and want a better treatment, right?"

"That's right."

"That's amazing!"

Susanna exclaimed, "There are only a handful of extraordinary individuals as young as you on the entire Simon Island, and more importantly, you're a captain with a very promising future!"

"That's too kind."

Instead of boasting about himself, Chalice went straight to the point.

"Miss Susanna, I've heard that a Tier 1 Extraordinary Captain can advance to a Black Iron Navigator. Is this rule still in effect?"

"certainly!"

Susanna immediately switched to a serious explanation mode.

"The association classifies navigators into different levels in order to better serve everyone and assign tasks to the right people, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents caused by large differences in skill levels."

"The maximum level for a mortal captain is Bronze, but as long as one is extraordinary, they can basically be promoted to Iron navigator without any unexpected events."

"However, two conditions must be met to be promoted: first, the association must confirm the authenticity of the extraordinary individual; second, a black iron level mission must be completed, any type will do."

"Once you complete the above two steps, you can immediately submit your promotion application. The association's approval will be available within one day, and the process will not waste too much of your time."

Chalice asked a few more questions about the details, and after a moment's thought, he readily agreed.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today! I can verify my extraordinary abilities and accept the mission right now."

"What you said is truly philosophical."

Susanna casually offered a compliment.

"Please follow me. Verifying extraordinary abilities isn't complicated, but it's best not to do it in public!"

Chalis followed Susanna toward the end of the second floor.

The pleasant scent of perfume wafted into Susanna's nostrils as she moved, her hair swaying slightly with each step.

His extraordinary achievements and heightened senses allowed Cherries to experience even richer and more complex aromas.

But compared to the day I returned to Hong Kong.

Now his senses are stronger, but his heart remains completely unmoved.

It wasn't just the complex effect of the decline in all desires except for appetite, but also because Cheryl sensed the subtle spirituality emanating from Susanna.

This first-order scribe of the legal hierarchy, whose strength was not apparent at first glance, now seems to possess a much stronger spirituality than I do upon closer observation…

It seems this young woman is quite remarkable as well...

Chalice suppressed his curiosity and did not rashly pry into other people's privacy.

soon.

The two arrived at an empty office.

Inside, there was only one set of desk and chair, where an elderly man with a neat beard and wearing a monocle sat.

He was engrossed in reading ancient books, his notebook filled with cobalt blue ink notes.

"A newcomer?"

The old man looked up, took off his monocle, pinched his brow, and asked, "Want to test your spirituality?"

"Yes, Professor Herons, this is Mr. Cherries, also an experienced bronze captain."

Susanna respectfully introduced herself, "I've come to complete the prerequisite verification for becoming a Bronze Navigator. Do you have some free time now?"

"Young lady, you are very polite, but you should probably use fewer formalities next time."

Helens's white beard trembled slightly. "I came to Simon Island to find some peace and quiet. I don't want to meet anyone, and you don't need to introduce me to anyone. I'm tired of hearing that nonsense in the Gran Islands."

"Excuse me, so now..."

Susanna remained expressionless, but readily changed her communication style.

"Young man, show us!"

Helens did not show any displeasure and gave his instructions concisely.

"Focus your mind and activate your spirituality."

He showed no extra emotion from beginning to end.

Chalice remained silent, observing the charismatic and seemingly influential old man.

Get straight to the point when you see the other person.

Without wasting words, Chalice entered a meditative state directly according to the method Sartre had taught him, and his spirituality gradually flourished.

Helens listened quietly for a moment, then signaled to the young man that he could stop.

"The spirituality is in its nascent stage, but it is pure and has not yet eroded. It is not an extraordinary person through forbidden paths."

He calmly glanced at Cherries.

"You pass."

Chalice nodded. "Thank you, Professor."

Having said that, he prepared to say goodbye to Susanna and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, Helens called out to him.

"Young man, your spirituality lacks the order and solemnity typically found in those who follow a path of order; it seems to be more of a chaotic path, doesn't it?"

Chalice raised an eyebrow, but did not deny it.

"Yes, Professor Helens, I follow the gourmet sequence of the desire pathway."

"As expected... you... never mind!"

Herons seemed intrigued. "I'm interested in some research on the pathways of desire, and we might be able to collaborate on some topics, but... come find me again when you've become a Black Iron Navigator!"

"I look forward to the opportunity to learn more from you."

Chalice gave a reply neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then left the office led by Susanna, whose eyes were visibly brighter.

"Good heavens! Mr. Chalis, Professor Herons is a senior researcher at Glen University, and he actually took a liking to you!?"

"I don't like anticipating the outcome."

Chalice merely curled the corners of his lips, without any ecstatic fantasies about the future.

"Now that my extraordinary aptitude has been verified, can I accept the mission?"

"Of course! The types of missions the association prepares for navigators have remained largely unchanged, mostly consisting of three categories: precision fishing, expedited transport, and targeted exploration. Which one would you like to choose?"

"Let's use precision fishing!"

After a moment's thought, Chalice replied, "Could you help me choose a Black Iron-level mission that can be completed near the coast? I want to finish it as soon as possible and advance my rank as soon as possible."

"No problem! I'll check for you right away..."

……

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

Cherries is a man of action.

I checked the status of the Returning Home ship in the morning, verified its qualifications and accepted the mission in the afternoon, and then started preparing to set sail in the afternoon.

The Homecoming Ship had already been repaired, and the extraordinary technicians only helped to find a few old "hidden damages".

After all, the Homecoming was just an ordinary ship.

It was not built with any extraordinary materials, nor was it equipped with any ship devices made of supernatural artifacts.

The technicians just did a routine check; there wasn't much room for modification.

"Captain, why are you back so soon?"

"Get ready to go out to sea."

"So rushed? Oh right, the engine room crew just arrived, and we're still setting up their work environment!"

"This isn't a transport trip, we're just going fishing."

Chalice quickly calculated.

"Perfect, let's get them used to each other. We don't need to recruit too many sailors. The missions are near the coast; we can go in the afternoon and come back in the evening."

"Understood! I'll go get help right away!"
