"This medicine is?"
Chen Qi looked surprised.
An displayed a happy smile:
"I exchanged a Snow Flower Herb for this with a young pharmacist at the Seal No.3 Mobile Dock. She's a very talented pharmacist, although she has no flags, her medicines are quite good.
Chen Qi, the medicine I just poured into your mouth was made by her."
Such affordable young pharmacists are rare on the high seas.
A pharmacist with the scent of flowers, isn't that the Flower Witch? She's also at the Seal No.3 Mobile Dock...Chen Qi sniffed and hurriedly asked:
"Where is this pharmacist?"
An thought for a while and answered:
"She said she's going to make a legendary potion; for the sake of ingredients, she's already headed to Vine Island in the Sea of Calamity."
"Is that so..."
Chen Qi turned his head to look out the window.
Advancing from Third Rank to Fourth Rank, one needs not just an Occupation Card, but must also complete tasks for the Legendary profession card.
And the Flower Witch is exactly striving for promotion. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
Although the Deep Blue Fire is very important, at this moment, for Fen, her promotion is even more so.
Behind her, after all, is the immense Black Whale Group.
Hopefully, Fen's efforts would go smoothly...Chen Qi thought silently.
Finally, An also followed Chen Qi's gaze, glanced outside the window, and then left the White Tower Hunter.
...
...
The bright daylight dimmed, and the gloomy seawater brushed relentlessly against the hull of the Snake Father.
Chen Qi and the six Water Elves, the Mechanic Ma Li, and the Mage Alor from the White Tower Hunters spent half an hour cleaning up the battle scars on the Snake Father, and repairing the damage caused by the battle.
"Waa waa waa! (Keep it up! Push through!)"
The Water Elves wielding cloths were especially industrious, as their master had just been knocked out by a woman, yet their master didn't resist.
They must work hard to lift their master's spirits.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the Snake Father soon looked as though it hadn't encountered any attacks.
After finishing the cleaning, Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, squatted down, and chatted with the Water Elves:
"My little darlings, are you ready to set sail?"
"Waa waa waa! (Ready! Captain!)"
"We are ready!"
Just as they responded, Melanie and the glasses-clad Alor, who happened to walk by, also raised their hands and said enthusiastically.
Until they saw the Water Elves at Chen Qi's feet.
So he wasn't talking to us... Melanie blushed, coughed twice, and asked quietly:
"What do we do next, Lamp Keeper?"
Chen Qi smiled:
"Next, as long as we keep the Snake Father moving forward, for a short time, we shouldn't alert the Sea God Pirate Group or the Bonfire Hunter Group. Once we reach the Sea of Calamity, we can consider abandoning the Snake Father.
Therefore, for safety, it's best if we proceed with three ships scattered; I will give you coordinates, and we'll converge in the interior of the Sea of Calamity."
"Okay, praise the Sea Goddess, may the Sea Goddess bless us! Hmm, on the Witch Sea, I should perhaps thank the great Book Witch too!"
Melanie drew a symbol of the Book of Knowledge over her heart, praying for their smooth journey along with the Sea Goddess.
After discussing their plan, they immediately started the engines and set course toward the Sea of Calamity.
Chen Qi then outlined a simple route, assigning the captain's duties to Water Elf No. 3, and assigned Water Elf No. 1, who possessed strong illusion abilities, as a bodyguard to protect the Ghost Ship by conjuring illusions.
Now, Water Elves No. 1 and No. 3 had the capability to stand alone.
Boom boom boom!
The engines of the three ships roared to life, instantly churning powerful torrents that pushed the ships through the waves, leaving behind deep trails in the tranquil sea.
And the Snake Father was not to be outdone. It cut through the surging waves like a sharp blade, charging straight into the area known as the Sea of Calamity—the Forbidden Land.
The Sea of Calamity was also a favorite instance among players; although it featured many sea beasts and disasters, it also held numerous B-rank rifts after Smile Moon.
Chen Qi, standing on the bow of the Snake Father, navigated the ship forward for two hours as its helmsman.
Melanie watched behind him, monitoring the situation around.
The spectacle-hunting Alor continued to review for his examination at the Bei Country Royal University, which would occur over three months later.
The other five White Tower Hunters split responsibilities: three of them piloted the White Tower Hunter, while the other two stayed in the cabin—one operating the cannon, the other managing the shield.
All of them wore disguises; Chen Qi donned the cloak from the Snake Father.
Boom! A thunderous storm roared from the sky!
Now, they had successfully entered the domain of the Sea of Calamity!
Indeed, steering a ship at such an open bow, feeling the storm—now that's thrilling... Chen Qi reveled like an experienced captain enjoying the storm.
To the present Chen Qi, a regular storm was no different from a drizzle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The storm never ceased, the giant waves were immense, seeming like the most primal, untamed forces of nature converging to challenge any audacious soul who dared to set foot here.
As rain constantly hit Chen Qi's face and the ship rocked, he couldn't help but feel exhilarated and increased the speed of the Snake Father:
"Come on! Let the storm be even more fierce!!"
"Oh my..."
Melanie, who initially served as the captain, couldn't help but wonder if she should have let this apprentice captain take the helm.
