Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Arya hissed at Kino, like an enraged kitten.

A playful smile crept across Kino's face as he asked, "There's something else I need to ask. Would you like to make a fortune?"

Upon hearing this, Roya immediately became interested. He spent 500 gold coins to buy the Eye of the Hurricane, still owing Aria 96 gold coins.

He now has only three hundred ordinary gold coins and a dozen or so ancient gold coins left.

The subsequent ship modifications would be another significant expense, so he immediately asked, "How will we make the money?"

"There are too many people and too many eyes around here, follow me." Kino turned and walked towards the outer edge of the crowd.

Roya and Sophia immediately followed, and Aria followed closely behind.

The four of them found an outdoor table and chairs and sat down.

Kino glanced at Aria, not caring, and immediately lowered his voice: "My informant recently spotted a big fish. If we can take him down, the profit will be at least this much."

Kino held up one finger.

"More than one hundred gold coins?" Aria tilted her head.

"It's over a thousand," Kino corrected.

Arya's eyes widened, and she once again wore the expression of an ignorant country bumpkin.

In contrast, Roya and Sophia remained extremely calm, having already guessed what was going on in their minds.

"It's Evil Eye Potter, isn't it?" Roya said bluntly.

"Tsk, how did you know?" Kino looked annoyed; he had wanted Roya to guess who the target was.

"Just a guess," Roya shrugged.

The Evil Eye Pirates have a total bounty on their pirates, with a bounty of one thousand gold coins just for their heads. If their pirate ship is also captured, the total profit will definitely be two thousand gold coins.

Kino glanced at Aria, then said with a sigh of relief, "That makes sense. News of the Eye of the Hurricane being stolen and Evil Eye Potter's pursuit of the treasure has already spread throughout Gourmet Island."

Aria was puzzled. What did it mean that the news of the Eye of the Hurricane being stolen had spread throughout the entire Gourmet Island?

Sophia had no choice but to move closer to her and quietly explain the whole story.

Upon learning that the Eye of the Hurricane she had stolen had attracted the attention of a ruthless pirate gang with a bounty of nearly a thousand gold coins, Aria's face turned pale instantly, filled with self-reproach.

She looked at Roya and said seriously, "Roya, how about you return the Eye of the Hurricane to me, and I'll refund your gold coins? Although I've spent some of it these past two days, I can slowly work to pay off the rest..."

"The Eye of the Hurricane is in your hands?" Kino looked at Roya in surprise.

Roya first nodded to Kino, indicating that he had obtained the Eye of the Hurricane treasure.

Then he turned to reassure Aria: "Don't worry, it's just a mere Evil Eye Pirate Crew, nothing to fear."

Roya's voice was full of confidence; he wasn't afraid at all unless the one coming was a bronze-level superhuman.

But Aria was still full of worries. The pirate gang with a total bounty of one thousand gold coins must be fierce, brutal, and have no bottom line.

Seeing this, Roya seized the opportunity to extend an invitation: "If you're worried, you can come with us. Coincidentally, my ship is short a full-time chef."

"Huh? Become a chef on the ship? But I don't want to leave Gourmet Island so soon..." Aria looked troubled.

"We won't be setting sail for now; we'll have to wait until the food carnival is completely over," Roya explained with a smile.

"Alright, I'll think about it carefully during this time." Aria nodded seriously.

Kino tapped the table to remind himself he was still there, then looked at Roya: "So, what do you think of my suggestion? Should we take action and catch this big fish?"

"Okay, you've found traces of Evil Eye Potter?" Roya nodded in agreement.

Rather than passively waiting to be targeted and ambushed, it's better to take the initiative.

Including Kino and Aria, our side has a total of five Iron-level combatants, which can easily crush the opponent.

"Not yet. My informants have only spotted the second mate of the Evil Eye Pirates. It will take some more time to pinpoint Evil Eye Potter." Kino shrugged.

"I'll let you know as soon as I confirm their exact location." With that, Kino got up and left.

The three remaining had different expressions: Roya remained calm and had great faith in Ah Dai and Misha's abilities.

Sophia frowned briefly in worry, but quickly cheered up and smiled.

Arya lowered her head in deep thought, her mind heavy with worries.

The three returned to the food street plaza, and as soon as they got close, they heard cheers from the crowd.

Today's culinary competition has come to an end, with the Yellow Croaker Eight Treasure Soup defeating the Yellow Croaker Stuffed with Hundred Flowers to win the championship.

After winning the competition prize, the halfling chef of Bigfoot Restaurant immediately promoted his restaurant, attracting a large number of customers.

Luo Ya and his two companions stopped watching and headed straight for the Wave Bar.

Old Jack had sobered up and was resting in the bar.

Luo Ya and he agreed that after lunch, they would go to the dock together to inspect the ships and discuss the modifications.

The three ordered a large bowl of the restaurant owner's signature dish: spicy stir-fried squid rolls.

The scalding hot red oil, carrying a rich aroma of pepper, wafts towards you, steaming and exuding a fresh and delicious fragrance.

Luo Ya picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks and used them to pick up a thick, curled squid roll.

The glossy, reddish-brown squid meat has slightly curled edges, with tiny bits of chili embedded in the veins, making it incredibly tempting.

He took a light sniff, and the domineering yet mellow spicy aroma went straight into his nasal cavity, causing him to raise his eyebrows slightly.

The moment you bite down, the firm and chewy meat bursts with juicy goodness, and the spicy and numbing flavor instantly sweeps across your tongue.

Luo Ya frowned slightly, subconsciously pursed his lips and took a breath, but his eyes revealed a great deal of pleasure.

After the brief spiciness subsides, the unique deep-sea sweetness of the squid unfolds layer by layer.

He relaxed his brows and eyes, chewed slowly, his cheeks puffed out slightly, becoming more and more addicted to the food.

He picked up several pieces of food in succession, his lips unconsciously curving upwards, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He casually raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the tip of his nose.

"Wow, this is delicious! No wonder it's a recipe worth ten gold coins." Roya exclaimed sincerely.

Sophia's cheeks were bulging as she nodded in agreement, her face also covered in sweat.

Arya was fine; she wasn't covered in sweat, but she still looked satisfied.

After lunch, Aria and Sophia returned to the hotel to rest.

Roya and Old Jack headed to the dock together.

Upon learning that Roya intended to embed a speed-enhancing artifact into the ship's rudder, Old Jack immediately shook his head repeatedly.

"You overestimate me! I'm just an ordinary retired shipwright, not a shipbuilding master. I have no ability to perfectly integrate the treasure with the ship."

Old Jack, who wanted a drink, clicked his tongue and continued, "I can only help you reinforce the hull and barely activate part of the treasure's effect. If you want a perfect fit and to fully unleash the treasure's power, you can go to the Hard Man's Shipyard on Blacksmith Island and find my teacher, Master Hans."

Upon hearing this, Roya pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to have Old Jack reinforce the hull of the Velvet first.

Even if only a portion of the treasure's power can be activated, it's better than doing nothing.
