Chapter 4 Rewards_2

"If you do a good job in the next few days, I'll give you a special reward."

A reward! Chen Qi was instantly energized.

With other pirates, there were hardly any extra rewards.

Saying this, Little Crow used a key to open a door inside the ship doctor's room.

Behind the door, there were glass jars filled with Sea Beasts.

At a glance, there were at least forty such glass jars!

"By tonight, if you can extract from more than three, I'll add meat to your dinner.

If you can finish extracting from five jars, I'll give you a life-saving medicine.

If your learning and hands-on abilities are strong, and you can do more than ten, I'll give you an amazing medicine.

The value of this medicine is such that even if you work hard for a year, you might not be able to afford it."

"What if it's more than fifteen?"

"Twenty, that's my personal level."

Little Crow scoffed with a snort and a cold laugh.

More than fifteen, what a joke!

Extracting medicinal materials from the body of a Sea Beast might sound simple, but it actually tests one's patience and technique a lot. Even Little Crow, a veteran ship doctor, probably could only manage twenty by tonight.

"Don't set your goals too high at the start, aim for realism, keep your patience."

Little Crow picked up a medicine chest,

"Alright, I'm going to check the sanitation on the ship and distribute medicines.

Remember, when dealing with Sea Beasts, don't lose patience, patience is key.

Remember, every single one of these Sea Beasts is extremely precious, very precious, precious enough to make you work an extra ten years."

After giving these instructions, Little Crow left the ship doctor's room, leaving Chen Qi alone.

"Phew..."

Once the other person had left, Chen Qi sat down in the chair and flipped through the "Sea Beast Medicinal Materials Collection Guide."

In the book, there were numerous cases of severe injury due to failure.

The Otherworld was tough too, with people dying for the sake of extracting medicinal materials, as well as damned mortgages to learn about...

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, in five minutes, I've totally got it."

Chen Qi closed the book, his mind having fully understood how to extract medicinal materials from Sea Beasts.

Right now his newbie panel was too weak; he needed to develop it for a while.

Little Crow was a doctor with many potent medicines. If he could get these medicine rewards, it would be a considerable help in his later actions.

Before planning his escape, it was best to behave obediently.

Chen Qi walked into the room where the Sea Beast jars were stored, put on gloves, and began work!

In theory, since he possessed Deep Sea Affinity, Sea Beasts wouldn't attack him, making this job of extracting materials child's play.

However, the specific effects of Deep Sea Affinity still needed more validation.

Firstly, Chen Qi took a fancy to a black octopus the size of a human head.

He slowly extended his hand into the jar, dipped it into the water, and reached under the octopus's head into its mouth.

Then, he lifted his middle and index fingers, carefully plucking off grainy special medicinal materials from the octopus's body.

According to the book, every step was important.

Slowly, with patience...

Suddenly, the octopus's tentacles and suckers fiercely contracted, gripping his wrist.

Damn, a mistake!

His mind understood, but his hands did not!

At this moment, the tentacles of this deep sea monster forcefully writhed, emitting an indescribable strange sound, like a deep cry or a mournful tune.

What was it trying to convey to him?

Was it fear, hostility, assimilation, or an introduction to their god?

Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

Even with the talent for Deep Sea Affinity, he did not understand the language of deep sea monsters.

He could only rely on a kind of intuition, his body's intuition, to feel the information from this ancient creature.

Feel, slowly feel...

As long as he took his time, he could understand this Sea Beast's terrifying language!

Chen Qi relaxed his body and focused his attention on his hand.

Finally, in an instant!

Chen Qi grasped the meaning of that ancient creature's language:

"Ah, that feels good, more, more~"

Damn!

The moment he felt it, Chen Qi's heart went cold, and he couldn't help but curse, then quickly grasped the material and pulled his hand out of the jar.

His face showed terror, his pupils constricted, looking at the terrifying octopus Sea Beast in the jar.

What the hell had he just sensed! Was that the kind of message a deep sea monster should be sending to humans? What about its dignity as a monster!

Had his earlier mistake touched the Sea Beast's sweet spot?

Wait, what part of the Sea Beast had he just touched?

Chen Qi shook his head, preferring not to think too deeply about it; he definitely wasn't any sort of deep sea creature enthusiast.

Regardless, he had extracted the material, and his understanding of Deep Sea Affinity had increased.

This also proved that his Deep Sea Affinity talent was indeed powerful!

Bang!

Just then, the door to the ship doctor's room was flung open, and Little Crow's little head slowly peeked in, looking towards the still-shaken Chen Qi.

She had just passed by and heard the Sea Beast's sound, as well as Chen Qi's retreating noise.

Some Sea Beasts' cries hold a kind of Magic Power that can make people feel fear.

Clearly, Chen Qi must have gotten scared.

For an average person, perhaps Sea Beasts were still too terrifying, Little Crow thought as she shook her head gently.

At this rate, forget about more than five by tonight, it was questionable if he could even manage three.

And there was even the possibility of developing a deep sea creature phobia!

How was he going to continue being her assistant in the future!

It wasn't easy to train a good assistant, Little Crow thought with a sigh, and comforting said,

"Keep calm, take it slow, there's still plenty of time until tonight."
