Are You Interested in Having a Child with Me?
"Extraordinary Perception: You have detected that there are no living creatures on the ' Lost Island ' at this moment."
Gazing at the mysterious island not far away.
Roger tried hard to search his memory for relevant information.
He vaguely remembered that there was a side quest on Lost Island with a generous reward.
But he didn't know the specifics.
After all, he's just a casual gamer who watches videos to complete games.
After the boat was settled.
Roger left the Earl with only Diana.
By this time, Diana's appearance had already undergone a dramatic transformation.
From her battle form, which was over six meters tall, she transformed into a petite girl who was a head shorter than an average person.
The black flames on her body gradually died down.
It turned into an outfit that looked just like a maid's uniform.
Aside from the white horns on her forehead that couldn't be concealed, she looked no different from a normal human girl.
Regarding this image.
Roger was quite appreciative and gave her an encouraging glance a couple more times.
A moment later.
The two landed on the east side of the Lost Island.
They successfully crossed the deserted beach.
Walk along the gently ascending rocky path.
Not long after.
Roger then arrived near the group of quaint buildings he had seen earlier from the lookout tower.
Hint: You have discovered the ' Old Site of the Eastern Forefathers '
In the glow of dawn.
Roger and Diana walked side by side on the main avenue in the center of the old site.
On both sides are rows of tall and magnificent ancient buildings.
In Roger's eyes.
The architectural style here bears a striking resemblance to that of Tarun.
In the legends of the indigenous people.
"Eastern ancestors" does not refer to the ancestors of the East Continent.
It specifically refers to the ancient times of the Quinan Star.
A mysterious settlement where people live and practice asceticism at sea.
In this vast old site.
Roger discovered a series of rare sites, including temples, monasteries, courtyards, villages, and ancestral halls.
All indications suggest that...
A civilization similar to Taren once existed on the Lost Island.
This is further supported by the fact that the book "Seven Points Spirit Bomb" that he obtained from Tenkai Saburo clearly states "Xianpeng Island".
Roger speculated that Lost Island and Xianpeng Island likely belonged to the same martial arts civilization.
But after all the changes of time...
The traces of this civilization on Kuytun are now very faint.
Even with Extraordinary Perception.
Roger was also unable to recall what this place looked like back then.
After completing one lap.
Roger gained nothing.
But he was not discouraged, and instead wandered around on his own.
This stroll lasted all day.
Diana quietly stayed by his side.
Until nightfall.
In the center of the island.
Near the ruins of a temple.
Roger stood on the highest eaves, looking down below.
In the fading light of the setting sun.
A series of Chinese-style buildings, their surfaces weathered and Corrosion, yet resilient as pine trees on the inside, came into his view.
The next moment.
Roger finally grasped the inspiration that had been teasing him all day!
"Hint: You have entered a state of enlightenment."
"Aha! Your Small Capturing Hands Technique have reached the 'Masterful' stage."
"Enlightenment: Your Qi Master level has been raised to LV7"
"Enlightenment: Your Qi Master level has been raised to LV9"
"Enlightenment: You have obtained the ' Lost Island's Inheritance Imprint '."
"The Lost Island's Inheritance Imprint: This mark contains clues to the advancement of the ascended profession ' Qi Refiner '."
I came to my senses.
The last rays of the setting sun receded like a waterfall cascading backward.
Instead, there was a pitch-black night sky and an unchanging expanse of stars.
Roger quietly felt his breathing and pulse for a while.
Only then did I focus my attention on taking stock of the gains from the 'epiphany'.
First, there's the improvement of "Small Capturing Hands Technique".
In the lineage passed down by the Clear Spring Sect Leader, this skill is the true essence, while the Floating Cloud Palm is merely a bonus.
But in actual combat...
Roger always felt that his Small Capturing Hands Technique were not effective enough.
Now we've finally reached the stage of gaining entry into the inner sanctum.
He was eager to see what the wonders of this unique skill were.
Secondly, there's the level of the Qi Master.
The improvement in this area is actually the smallest.
It's mainly compared to Sea Slug.
The increase in Qi brought about by the advancement of Qi Master level is not that significant.
The third one is more anticipated.
Roger had assumed that a group of Martial Artist once lived on Lost Island.
Unexpectedly, the other party's style changed.
He directly became a "Qi Refiner".
He was very interested in this opportunity! After all, it was called "ascension".
It's actually just another name for "upgrading".
This is similar to ether and elements; they are essentially the same thing.
Upgrading to a higher profession is an even more powerful advancement than becoming a super-powerful profession!
And in the mark Roger received.
Aside from the scales related to "Qi Refiner".
The most important thing is a tattered nautical chart and a set of coordinates.
Roger hadn't quite grasped this way of interpreting coordinates yet.
From the nautical charts...
That coordinate is roughly in the southeastern sea area of Lost Island.
It doesn't seem to be very far away.
"Once this deal is finalized, I definitely have to go check it out!"
Roger solemnly wrote down the imprint in his mind on paper.
Then store it properly.
That concludes the discussion.
Roger and Diana simply stayed at the temple.
Although Lost Island is located at sea.
However, it is minimally affected by sea breezes and climate.
Roger suspected that a similar Mountain Protection Array existed here.
But the arrangement is more ingenious.
He didn't realize it.
And while waiting for someone.
Roger practiced with Diana every day.
I mainly wanted to see the variations in the Small Capturing Hands Technique.
After a few days.
The performance of this martial art remained mediocre.
Although Diana cooperated and was captured by him repeatedly.
But her acting was too fake.
Roger suspected that if he used his Small Capturing Hands Technique in actual combat, he would be beaten to a pulp.
"To capture someone, you must get close."
"Since you can get close, why not just cut him down with a single strike?"
"Could it be that the Floating Cloud Palm is the true form?"
Roger was completely baffled.
Later on...
He felt an urge to retreat into seclusion and gain enlightenment.
But time did not stop flowing despite his confusion.
Four days later.
A fishing boat came from the west.
Four people disembarked from the fishing boat.
They landed on the western beach.
Finally, they entered the ancient site of the Lost Island.
Roger calmly jumped down from the eaves.
The main characters of "The Raging Sea Blood Vortex".
Arrive!
"Brandon, Copper Hand Dwarf, Devilman, Green Hat Hero..."
In the shadows.
Roger repeatedly confirmed the number of people in the main group.
Final confirmation.
No players!
Only the indigenous democratic group, jokingly referred to by players as the "Mining Four Bros."
This discovery relieved him.
Immediately.
He felt somewhat disappointed.
But in any case.
The storyline of Raging Sea Blood Vortex has fully begun.
He wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Managing the main characters' progress is very important.
At present.
Roger followed along, recalling the meager amount of information he had gathered.
Compared to other games or literary works.
The main character lineup in the expansion pack "Raging Sea Blood Vortex" appears extremely unbalanced.
Initially, when the lineup was announced...
Players couldn't believe they were teaming up with four warriors! That's right.
The four-man group, including Brandon, are all warriors!
The only difference is their race: Brandon himself is a human warrior.
Eyre, equipped with a bronze prosthetic arm, is a dwarf warrior.
Francis, who holds the title of "Snake Slayer," is a demon warrior.
Caine draws attention because of her striking green clothes and hat, is a Half-Elf warrior.
Even more deadly is...
They are all male.
From a gameplay perspective, this combination is very strange, but there is room for improvement.
Because in the previous game, the setting was that, apart from the protagonist Brandon, players could recruit other professionals to fill the positions of the remaining three.
But there are no players right now! This directly leads to the impending scenario of 'four tough guys venturing into the sea'.
Roger had no idea what they were thinking.
Are we really just going to go all the way with a melee attack? Although the mage class in Quenan isn't particularly outstanding, there are plenty of priests out there.
Moreover, given the protagonist Brandon's lecherous character.
Is it too much to ask to have a priest with plenty of healing power?
Something unusual must be going wrong.
This thought came to mind.
Roger simply let go of all his preconceived notions.
Carefully follow Brandon and his group deeper into the interior of the Lost Island.
What happened next was exactly as Roger remembered.
Brandon and his group came in pursuit of a wounded "Sea Wolf Raider".
That evening.
They found the monster that had slaughtered the villagers in a cave on the eastern shore.
They also extracted the location of the Temple of the Sea Wolf God from his mouth.
And in this process.
They were attacked by a group of tough-skinned sea monsters.
They were struggling to cut the branches.
Roger then brought Diana along and helped them take down the group of high-level sea monsters.
then.
At Brandon's enthusiastic invitation.
He successfully joined the main characters' group as a Martial Artist searching for the "ancestral sites".
Immediately afterwards.
They then set sail again.
The group was traveling on a fishing boat driven by Brandon's ex-wife's father.
Heading south.
During the contact between the two parties.
Roger could sense that Brandon trusted him completely.
However, the other three all showed varying degrees of suspicion and probing regarding his appearance.
In fact.
This is the normal reaction a person should have.
"Will we get into trouble following the main characters?"
"Can this kind of heartless guy really save the world?"
On the fishing boat.
Roger watched Brandon's greasy back as he flirted with a female sailor.
I couldn't help but shake my head inwardly.
One day later.
The fishing boat sailed along the Mist Coast into unfamiliar waters.
We've arrived here.
The seawater became very pale and clear.
It resembles streams and lakes.
On the distant sea.
Strange and enormous snail shells floated on the surface.
Under the snail shell.
They were groups of milky-white, sea worm-like creatures.
The fishing boat quietly sailed past a snail shell.
The creatures immediately surrounded the ship and began ramming it violently!
In a short time.
The whole ship was making a "bang bang bang" sound!
on deck.
Roger gripped the gunwale tightly with both hands, struggling to suppress the overwhelming joy in his heart.
On the data panel.
Hint: You have discovered a large number of Magic Conch.
"Extraordinary Perception: You have detected a large number of Sunlight Jellyfish living inside the Magic Conch."
"Hint: You have discovered a freshwater Sea Slug farm."
"Insight: You realize that the fishing boat is being attacked by Sea Slug larvae."
"We have to retreat!"
"My ship can't withstand this kind of confrontation!"
on deck.
Brandon's ex-father-in-law shouted at the top of his lungs.
As they were talking.
Then a 'thump' sound came from the side!
That's Brandon jumping into the sea!
"I'm going to chase those guys away!"
He responded loudly.
Roger saw this.
I was just about to jump down after him.
But at this moment...
A powerful surge of emotion welled up within him!...
"Sixth Sense: You sense that the Sea Serpent Queen is watching you."
"Prompt: The Sea Serpent Queen is inviting you into her Divinely Favored Space. Do you agree?"
at the same time.
A voice devoid of any emotion rang in his ear:
"Are you interested in having my child?"
"My Devout Believer?"
