Navigator: I Have a Legendary Exploration Log

Chapter 30 Divination Results

The second floor.

After handing over the task, Cheryl counted the reward and gave the clerk behind the counter a polite smile.

have to say.

Judging solely from the perspective of compensation.

One Black Iron quest is equivalent to three Bronze quests.

The difficulty of the mission did not change fundamentally for Charys.

It's still about transporting goods.

It's simply a matter of the different importance of the goods.

If Chalice were still a Bronze-level Navigator, the Bloodhand Gang would definitely not have asked him to deliver weapons.

This is how strength is transformed and monetized.

They didn't rush to leave.

The financial situation of the Maro Island branch of the Navigators' Association is much better than that of its branch on Simon Island.

In addition to the more spacious second floor, there are also snacks and desserts available for self-service.

Cheryl didn't really enjoy life much before.

Now that he's a food connoisseur, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to get free snacks.

Chalice leisurely picked up a plate of crispy fried dried fish, along with a few pieces of tiramisu and red velvet cake.

Sit in a corner and enjoy your meal.

of course.

Why would Cheryl stay just for the food?

While good food was certainly a factor, a plausible reason could cover up his legitimate stay in the Navigators' Association.

Cherissa chewed slowly, savoring the increasingly fragrant dried fish.

His eyes glazed over again.

[Divination: How can I reliably and cheaply obtain the subsequent potion recipes for the Gourmet Sequence? (Consumes 30 Legendary Points to know three possibilities)]

After he changed the question, the answer also changed.

After Chalice advanced to the Extraordinary level, the results of divination were no longer confined to simple words.

A series of abstract, oil painting-like scenes began to unfold.

The visual texture is like rough stone slabs, and the characters are as simple yet expressive as line drawings, allowing Cheryl to see his own image at a glance.

Say something.

Kind of cute.

Chalice focused his mind, and the scene began to unfold.

Act one.

Chalice submitted an application directly to the Navigators' Guild to purchase the subsequent potion recipes for the Gourmet Series.

Simple and straightforward.

But it was very effective.

After assessing his past experience and conduct, the Navigators' Association granted him "open access to purchase," but on the condition that Cherry officially become a core captain of the Navigators' Association.

Although the subsequent formula was guaranteed, and they also found a powerful backer comparable to the Church of the Righteous God.

But the price is the loss of a certain degree of freedom.

Moreover, potion recipes and potion ingredients are not free.

Act Two.

Chalice learned about the Navigators' Guild's daily trading post in the hall.

it's here.

People bid and offer rewards for what they want.

Less than three days after Chalice submitted his request for the next recipe in the Gourmet Sequence, someone accepted the bounty.

They relied on the Navigators' Association for communication and coordination.

The two did not meet in person, but the deal was struck.

Chalice spent a lot of money to get the real thing.

Act III.

Cherry overheard some of the captains talking and learned about the small trade fairs that were held regularly at 13 Baker Street.

Compared to the daily transactions organized by the Navigators' Association.

Such more private transactions have even fewer bottom lines.

Many illicit items and intelligence that cannot be circulated openly can be obtained here.

The premise is that you don't make a mistake.

After all, there's no way to return it.

……

Chalice, who was now chewing the dried fish into shreds, took a sip of fragrant black tea.

Three options.

Every choice has its advantages and disadvantages.

For example, one could exchange joining the Navigators' Association for the recipe.

This is certainly the most stable, safest, and least likely to go wrong option.

But Charys doesn't want to lose his freedom.

Not even the slightest bit.

There is no reason why.

Besides, he doesn't necessarily need to get the formula right now.

When we get back to Simon Island, we can ask old Sutter.

This old guy has been around for so many years, his connections and networks are far more extensive than I imagined...

……

As for the pros and cons of the latter two options.

Chalice didn't have any particular thoughts.

As long as you have the initiative, that's fine.

So he... wants them all!

Whether it's an official trading platform or a private trading event.

In any case, it only counts if Chalice himself generates gold coins.

We arrived at the back of the Navigators' Association.

A simply decorated trading hall came into view.

After anonymously handing over the bounty for the [Gourmet Sequence Tier 2 Recipe] to the registration staff, Chalice began to stroll leisurely through the trading hall, browsing the various bounty notices and consigned items.

Colorful reward posters were nailed to the corkboard.

Some had only one sheet, while others had a stack.

This distinguishes between individual tasks and group tasks.

After considering the price, rank, and level of risk, the documents are roughly divided into three colors: red, yellow, and blue.

[Bounty: Venomous Stinging Ray]

"Ideally, it should be a whole, living specimen; at the very least, it must be a complete poison needle... And the reward... thirty gold coins!?"

Chalice examined the bounty poster with great interest.

"I've heard of stingrays... These things don't usually stay in shallow waters. You have to spend a lot of money to prepare special bait, and you still have to rely on luck to lure one or two up."

"But luring them to the side of the ship isn't the end of the story. When catching them, you have to be careful not to get stung by the poisonous barbs and kill them... It's a real skill, no wonder they charge thirty gold coins..."

The bounty poster suggests that the Black Iron Navigator accept the task.

This was presumably intended as a warning to some ordinary captains.

To prevent greed from clouding judgment and causing people to overlook the risks of the bounty, thus losing their lives in vain...

After thinking for a moment, Chalice reached out and took a bounty poster off the nail.

This task.

It depends on the situation.

If you come across it, you might be able to do it.

Anyway, getting a bounty poster doesn't cost any money.

after that.

After wandering around for a while, Cheryl arrived at the consignment section.

The glass cabinet displays all sorts of strange or bizarre objects, or things that aren't even objects at all.

I looked at them one by one.

Some of the things Cherries really wanted, but they were short of money.

Some of Chalice's ideas were incomprehensible, but he was deeply moved.

while walking.

Chalis suddenly stopped in front of a display case.

Inside the glass case was a gold chain pocket watch with a slightly rusted surface and an old-fashioned design.

The watch cover was not closed tightly.

Cherries can see the dial inside.

The second hand of the pocket watch was spinning erratically without warning, making it look like an ordinary pocket watch that had been broken.

But its presence here is clearly not ordinary.

There is information next to the booth.

This pocket watch can enhance the wearer's spiritual awareness, and when imbued with spirituality, the hands will veer towards the source of danger.

The watch is said to bring increasing misfortune to its wearer from time to time, and long-term wear will make the wearer timid and fearful, even the slightest breeze will cause them to feel anxious and uneasy.

Removing it will prevent further misfortune, but it cannot undo any existing misfortune.

The wearer can remove the curse by pouring blood onto the watch face.

"It feels pretty good..."

Chalice was somewhat tempted.

But he didn't make any impulsive purchases.

After all, even the best artifacts are just extras; one's own strength is the only true measure of success.

to be honest.

too expensive.

Chalice needed to save his money for potion recipes, so he could only admire the pocket watch that could sense danger for now...

When preparing to leave.

Chalice saw that his bounty had appeared on a stack of blue receipts.

Moreover, several people were stopping to browse the newly announced bounty.
