Chapter 246: This Month's Big Lie Adventure

The deep night silently passed, and the faint morning light quietly arrived.

Weatheria Island, filled with a dreamy atmosphere, greeted another fresh and peaceful morning.

Love, dressed as a maid, pulled open the heavy, layered curtains, letting the refreshing morning air flow into the bedroom.

Then.

The little fox turned around, looked around the room, squinted her eyes, and smirked.

The next moment, she slightly bent her legs, tiptoed, and like an excellent hunter, pounced onto the still warm velvet bed, burying her head deeply between the pillows, rubbing her little face incessantly.

"Love?"

Adrian poked his head out of the bathroom, looking at the little fox bouncing around on the bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah! Adrian-sama!"

Love suddenly lifted her head, her eyes wide open, and exclaimed.

"Why are you still in the room?"

"Isn't it normal for me to be in my own room?"

Adrian walked over speechlessly, grabbed the little fox by the back of her neck like a misbehaving pet cat, and carried her out of the room.

"And you, instead of preparing breakfast, what are you doing in my room?"

Standing in the hallway outside the room, Love stuck out her tongue. "Actually, I already prepared breakfast and came to call you."

So you pounced on the bed to call someone for breakfast?

You mischievous little fox, your true intentions are showing!

Adrian reached out and poked Love's forehead hard. "A truly proper lady wouldn't use such a method, little fox!"

Breakfast was still very sumptuous.

Love's cooking skills were continually improving.

Love was determined to be a good little cook for life!

After breakfast.

At the edge of the small, peaceful sky island.

Adrian stood silently, checking the panel information, with a gentle breeze ruffling his black hair.

Just now, he completed the upgrade task for the archaeologist profession.

Upon acquiring the new profession "Appraiser," he also gained a new skill "Appraisal."

He invested the accumulated experience points into upgrading the "Appraiser."

[Your new profession "Appraiser" has been upgraded to LV10 (MAX), stamina slightly increased, intelligence +40, 30 free attribute points obtained, 10 skill points obtained!]

[Detected that the secondary profession "Appraiser" has been upgraded to max level!]

[You have triggered the profession upgrade task "archaeologist"!]

[Task requirement: Come into contact with three pieces of ancient historical text and read the recorded messages.]

[Task reward: Upgrade "Appraiser" to "archaeologist," skill "Divination"!]

{Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!}

[Divination - Skill: By interpreting revelations, you can learn whether a specific action in the near future will have good or bad results. For very vague questions, divination might not be successful at all.]

[Note: The results of divination are not completely reliable.]

{Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!}

Looking at the panel prompt, Adrian couldn't help but touch his chin, his brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.

"The upgrade path for the archaeologist profession is interesting… just for the third level, it requires attempting to contact the tightly guarded ancient historical texts."

"For ordinary scholars, trying to find the whereabouts of ancient historical texts in this vast ocean is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"But for me, it's manageable… three pieces of historical texts, I brought one from Ohara, there's one recorded under the golden bell base on the sky island, and the last one, whether it's in Alabasta or the Sea Forest of Fishman Island, I can easily obtain. Completing this task isn't too difficult."

"But if the third level 'Archaeologist' requires contact with historical texts, then in the future, it might require contact with 'Red Poneglyphs,' or even discovering the ancient weapons? That sounds very troublesome."

"As for the 'Divination' skill..."

"Why do I feel a bit uneasy?"

"Is this an 'Archaeologist' or a 'Fortune Teller'?"

"Speaking of which, if I master the divination skill, could I possibly earn a title like 'Half-Immortal'? That sounds quite interesting, especially since Ho Half-Immortal's Straw Man left such a deep impression..."

"Today, my chance of successfully defeating Kaido is 998 out of 1000."

"This chance isn't very high; there's still a high risk of failure. I need to continue increasing my strength, adding more cards to my hand, and getting more helpers, aiming to make Kaido cry with just a couple of punches!"

"The key word here is stability!"

Seeing that the person he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet, Adrian thought for a moment, took out the image of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from his bosom, and quietly started this month's Big Lie Adventure.

[You used the skill "Golden's Bizarre Adventure" on the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit Image"!]

[You obtained the following information...]

As the light and shadows shifted before his eyes, Adrian quickly obtained a piece of information about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"Pitch black..."

"This time, they didn't even hang a moon for me!"

Looking at the "Big Talker" buff hanging over him again, Adrian felt he would have to practice a week's "Silent Meditation."

During these months of studying ancient knowledge on Weatheria Island, Adrian had used the "Golden's Bizarre Adventure" skill more than once but still found nothing.

The anticipated battle scenes with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit appeared twice but were all static JPGs.

Adrian vaguely guessed that this might be related to holding only the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit Image."

If it were the actual "Rumble-Rumble Fruit," it should be much better—

What nonsense!

If he had the actual Rumble-Rumble Fruit, who would still use this unreliable, broken skill!

However, with more frequent use, he gathered more and more information fragments.

Adrian trusted the panel.

As a result, he also trusted the "Golden's Bizarre Adventure" skill, at least believing it wouldn't provide false information.

Just like this time, the forced "pitch black" scene obtained by using the skill.

A more plausible guess is that the current Rumble-Rumble Fruit might be in some sealed state, like being stored in a treasure chest.

"Anyway, to get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I can only piece the fragments together bit by bit..."

"It's a bit like playing a jigsaw puzzle."

"I just don't know when I'll be able to gather all the information and find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

At this moment, Enel finally ran over.

After a few months, this originally tall and thin boy with big ears from Birka had become much more energetic, with a significant transformation in his overall strength.

"Master—"

"Jump down."

"?!"

Enel suddenly stopped, looked at Adrian, then at the edge of the small sky island not far away, and forced a miserable expression.

"You're tricking me aga—ah!"

Before he finished his sentence, the long-eared thief was kicked cleanly off the edge by Adrian.

"You've rested long enough on Weatheria Island; it's time to go down and stretch your muscles!"
