Chapter 5 Yellow Needle_3

The steamboats were at the stern, so getting them wouldn't be hard.

Everyone would participate in the crack instance, and there were also escape ships.

The escape plan wasn't just a dream, but a realistic and feasible plan.

However, this plan required a timing, a moment when everyone was in chaos.

Seeing Chen Qi deep in thought, Little Raven thought he was scared.

Not everyone was like pirates, lured by treasure and losing their reverence for life.

Little Raven comforted him:

"Don't worry, although the crack is dangerous, the Black Whale Group rewards crew members who participate in the major operations.

This journey to the crack is one such major operation.

The Black Whale Pirate Group has profound resources. If you have half a year of experience, you have a chance to get an Occupation Card and become a Transcendent."

"After the journey to the crack, if you can keep working with the Sawshark for a few more jobs to accumulate six months of experience,

by then, I can help you apply for a Cup Phase 'Doctor Apprentice' Occupation Card. If you're lucky enough, becoming a Second-tier professional isn't a fantasy."

"Cup Phase 'Doctor Apprentice' Occupation Card..."

Chen Qi propped his chin in thought.

Occupation Cards came from the cracks, just like potions, and were essential items for becoming Transcendent.

Each Occupation Card had an attribute of Nature Form.

In the setting of the New Sun World, there were thirteen Nature Forms, representing different forces and symbols, like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, important attributes of extraordinary power.

For example, the Cup Phase of the 'Doctor Apprentice' Occupation Card represented evolution, flesh, life, eternity, and other symbols.

As a veteran player, Chen Qi remembered the abilities of nearly a hundred Transcendent professions.

The 'Doctor Apprentice,' a First Order Occupation Card, could grant basic Disease Resistance and basic self-healing physique as two passive abilities, increase learning comprehension of medical knowledge, and included a basic Spiritual Healing Technique.

Little Raven, imitating the tone of the Black-eyed Captain, continued:

"Whether in the Black Whale Group or elsewhere, doctors are scarce and respected positions.

This crack is very important. If we can find the Hunter's treasure in this mission, it will be a great achievement!

If we find the treasure, I'd even say, as long as you can come out of this crack alive, even if you don't take on dangerous voyages afterward,

you endure for six months, and you'll get the precious 'Doctor Apprentice' Occupation Card!"

Six months...Chen Qi furrowed his brow and asked a question:

"Sister Raven, can I really survive six months?"

Little Raven's mouth instantly felt as if it was stuffed and she fell silent.

Indeed, as a new pirate, how easy was it to survive six months in the pirate group?

Not to mention the increasingly dangerous voyages of the Black Whale Pirate Group, with the Kingdom's Navy cracking down more severely due to its title of the Pirate Emperor.

Chen Qi already had his answer in mind.

Sorry, but he had no interest in the healer profession right now! What a trash profession!

If it were a peaceful era and he didn't have the Deep Sea Affinity talent, he might really consider becoming a ship doctor.

But according to the game background, the world-destroying powers were returning, and the Black Whale Group had gone completely mad in the pursuit of ancient powers...

Little Raven herself turned into a monster and died for trying to stop the Black Whale Group's massacre.

If he really followed Little Raven to become a ship doctor, worked hard at medicine, and continued on this path...

Maybe not long after, he'd reach the ending of this world, and after working hard in the Black Whale Group, end up dying at their hands just like Little Raven.

Studying medicine couldn't save the world, nor save himself.

Not to mention, this Transcendent profession would take a full six months to acquire.

Staying in the Black Whale Group was not a wise choice.

The atmosphere between the two became a bit subtle. Approaching the crack, neither of them was sure to survive.

Night had already deepened, and Little Raven shook her head:

"Don't worry, you are already a member of the Black Whale Group. There won't be any problems tomorrow. Sleep early, I still have some work to do.

There aren't any spare crew cabins, sleep where you are; there's a blanket by the bookshelf."

"Okay..."

Chen Qi's eyelids drooped.

After fighting the Black Bull and suffering long-term malnutrition, his whole body was extremely tired.

What a brand new world, maybe not so bad...

Chen Qi lay down, covered himself with the blanket, and fatigue allowed him to momentarily forget the chaotic information in his mind.

He last saw Little Raven sit at the desk before he slowly closed his eyes.

His breathing gradually became steady, and he seemed to hear the sounds of pirate clamor and waves in his ears.

Although there was still plenty of work left, Little Raven didn't put pen to paper for a long time.

Chen Qi's last question had pierced her thoughts like a sword, making her uneasy.

She self-deprecatingly reminded herself that she was just an insignificant ship doctor on a pirate ship, a failure who couldn't get into medical school.

Not to mention him, could she herself really survive for half a year?

Little Raven listened to the sound of waves and slumped onto the desk.

In the vast ocean waves, how many could truly control their destiny?

Troubled, she slowly closed her tired eyes and fell asleep.

In the gentle sound of the ocean waves, the two slept soundly, very soundly...

Until a new day arrived, and the sunlight once again shone on the deck of the Sawshark.

The sound of waves crashing against the ship slowly woke Chen Qi, and he heard the voices of pirates nearby.

The footsteps on the deck grew more frequent, and the pirates' voices became more excited.

The crack had arrived...
