Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

Steward Mudu wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly retorted, "That's not how it works. Sailors can betray you. Can you guarantee your men's loyalty forever? But with this treasure, it's different. It won't betray you."

"Just hire more employees, why would you give them all your gold coins at once?" Sophia shrugged.

"Uh, what if the sailors band together to raise prices?" the manager pressed on, unwilling to give up.

"Then just fire them. If they don't want to do it, there are plenty of others who will." Sophia waved her hand, displaying the demeanor of a capitalist.

"Alright, alright, you've convinced me. How much money can you offer?" Manager Mudu sighed helplessly.

"Three hundred gold coins," Sophia said after thinking for a moment.

"What?!" Steward Mudu's eyes widened instantly, his face flushed red, and he raised his voice like a rooster whose tail had been stepped on, "This is impossible! Even if I don't need it, offering it to a noble lord, selling it to a scholar, or selling it to a wizard would cost more than this!"

Sophia held up two fingers and retorted clearly, "First, offering it to a noble lord would at most earn you a nominal title of nobility, with no real power or benefits. Otherwise, you would have sent it away long ago."

"Secondly, although wizards and scholars collect secret treasures, they have discerning eyes, and money doesn't come from thin air. They will definitely try to lower the price, and the final price will only be lower than mine."

Manager Mudu's angry expression vanished, replaced by a helpless look. "Alright, three hundred gold coins it is. Sometimes I wonder if Ms. Sophia is taking the merchant route instead of the doctor route."

Just as Sophia said, if this treasure could be sold, it would have been sold long ago.

Either they were pressured to accept a lower price, or they simply weren't interested.

Holding onto this treasure will lead to cash flow problems, so it's best to sell it sooner rather than later.

You can still make a profit of 300 gold coins; it's just a matter of how much.

Luo Ya took out his money bag, counted out three hundred gold coins and handed them over, then took the active rope.

The moment he touched it, a tingling sensation spread through his palm, as one end of the rope gently rubbed against his hand, as if it were incredibly intelligent.

"Hehe, would you two like to take a look at any other items? We have quite a few enchanted equipment and rare items." After accepting the gold coins, Steward Mudu once again showed a kind smile on his face.

Luo Ya turned to ask Sophia, but seeing her gently shake her head, he lost interest in strolling around after spending a large sum of gold coins. He glanced around casually and prepared to leave.

Manager Mudu, all smiles, saw the two off the merchant ship and watched them until they were out of sight.

After the two men had walked away, a guard quickly stepped forward and whispered in their ear, "Uncle, that young man is a pirate wanted by the navy."

As he spoke, he handed over a wanted poster featuring Roya's likeness.

"Oh! A bounty of three hundred gold coins on the Qingfeng Sea? He's quite the pirate with potential!" Manager Mudu exclaimed in amazement after glancing at the bounty poster.

"Uh, Uncle, you've got it wrong. That's three hundred copper coins," the guard said helplessly.

"what?"

It was only then that Steward Mudu realized that the currency following the number 300 was not gold coins, but copper coins.

Manager Mudu was immediately dumbfounded. "Is the Navy trying to humiliate him? A formally recognized superhuman only has a bounty of three hundred copper coins?!"

"Uncle, you're not mistaken, are you?" Upon hearing this, the guard looked surprised. The other party was actually a formal superhuman!?

Even on their ship, there were only about five people who were officially considered superhuman.

"Hmph, I've mastered the secret art of perception; ordinary superhumans can't escape my senses." Manager Mudu said unhappily, then warned, "Tell the tribespeople who are disembarking later not to offend him, since he's a formal superhuman."

"Okay." The guard nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved that he had asked his uncle first; otherwise, if he had acted on the pretext of a 300-copper-coin bounty, he would have likely met a terrible end.

After feeling relieved, the young guard couldn't help but curse the navy in his heart. The navy in the Qingfeng Sea was the most cunning. They actually put a bounty of 300 copper coins on a formal superhuman. Did they think there were too many bounty hunters at sea?

……

Meanwhile, Roya was completely unaware of what happened after he left.

He casually wrapped the active rope around his body and walked back to his residence side by side with Sophia.

Just as Sophia was about to return to the clinic, Roya suddenly called out to her.

His expression was solemn, and his tone was exceptionally firm: "Sophia, I promise you, if I become a legend in the future, I will avenge you."

Luo Ya firmly believed that he could become a legendary powerhouse and would definitely avenge Sophia.

Sophia trembled slightly, but did not turn around. She reached out and pushed open the clinic door, leaving behind only a crisp yet awkward sentence: "Idiot, who asked you to meddle in other people's business?"

The door slammed shut, leaving Roya looking completely bewildered.

He scratched his head, secretly thinking to himself that he had thought Sophia would be moved and blush as she rushed into his arms, but sure enough, the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Shh~"

The active rope gently brushed against Roya's palm, seemingly comforting him.

……

Pushing open the door and returning inside, Luo Ya removed the active rope from his body and placed it on the table.

The active rope was full of energy. After curiously observing the surroundings, it began to slowly slither around the room like a long python, exploring the surroundings.

After a brief inspection of the room, it lost its novelty and obediently returned to the table, coiling itself into a neat ball that looked no different from an ordinary thick rope, with nothing special about it.

Luo Ya withdrew his gaze and found this treasure quite intriguing.

He shook his head, ate a little something, and then excitedly opened the dungeon panel.

Early in the morning, he missed his dungeon run because of the Snake ship incident.

The dungeon list still only has one option: "Purify Poison Lizard Island".

Unfortunately, the Gypsy Serpent did not generate a copy.

He had taken out his Star Compass and glanced at it; the compass needle was darting around erratically, indicating that there were no dungeon entrances near White Sand Island.

[Instance generated successfully. Summoned creatures: Skeleton Warrior (Level 11), Mutant White Bear (Level 11)]

……

Luo Ya's vision went dark, and then returned to normal.

The view in front of him changed from the living room to the sea.

He still appears as a semi-transparent spirit, but with a new twist: he can now choose to reside in either Adai's or Misha's perspective.

The scene unfolding before him at that moment was beyond his comprehension.

He had just visited the Giant Lizard Island not long ago. Although there are giant lizards there, the vegetation is lush and the scenery is very beautiful.

However, what lay before him was a desolate island, with the land in front of the mudflats being a bubbling swamp, and a faint purple poisonous mist drifting in the wind.

The steep cliffs in the center of the island were shrouded in an extremely dense purple mist.

He never imagined that Poison Lizard Island would be like this thirty years ago.

While Roya was gazing at the surrounding scenery, the skeleton warriors Adai and Misha had already approached the giant lizard monster wandering on the beach.

[Giant Lizard, Level 6, 160% Health]

[Giant Lizard, Level 7, 180% Health]

[Giant Lizard, Level 8, 200% Health]

In reality, the monitor lizard is an ordinary lizard, but in the dungeon it becomes an apprentice-level monster.

Level 6 monitor lizards are medium-sized, measuring three meters in length; Level 7 monitor lizards are large-sized, measuring four meters in length; and Level 8 monitor lizards are extra-large-sized, measuring five meters in length.

As expected of a monitor lizard?
