"Awesome!"
Rogel excitedly punched the air.
He didn't expect to get something, and it even looked like an artifact related to extraordinary power.
The springtime for fishermen!
Rogel quickly took out this treasure for a careful inspection.
[Magic Potion - Intern]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Quality: Purple]
[Usage Requirements: Character Level 1-10, Body 3, Spirit 3, Faith 3.]
[Effect: Elevates the user's tier to Extraordinary, slightly increases all attributes, enhances learning ability, provides extra attribute points upon level-up, and has a small chance of acquiring special skills.]
[Explanation: The most basic sequence magic potion, mild and stable in effect, with high production difficulty and extremely high sequence compatibility, but still has a certain mutated probability.]
A magic potion with extraordinary power!
Purple quality!
And he already met all the usage requirements.
Even if he dies on the spot or something unknown happens, he can reload the game, so why worry?
"Gulp gulp."
Without hesitation, Rogel's avatar downed it in one go.
For such a rare treasure, any second of hesitation would be a disrespect to the burst of good luck he had today.
No need to say more, let's do it, brothers.
[Ugh...]
After drinking the magic potion, Rogel's avatar immediately clutched his stomach and dry heaved.
Rogel felt his heart skip a beat watching this.
Oh no, don't puke, don't puke!
This thing is a treasure; even if it tastes like crap, you have to swallow it!
Rogel would feel heartache over every single drop wasted.
[You used an Extraordinary Magic Potion.]
[The potion is merging with your body...]
[Fusion successful!]
[Character tier has changed to Extraordinary, you can now advance to a maximum level of 30.]
[Character attributes increased.]
[You acquired new special skills.]
[Your Talent of Hei's Soul has been enhanced, allowing you to have two clones now.]
[Congratulations on becoming an Extraordinary, you can now switch to the character's perspective to operate the game independently.]
On the phone screen, the game text kept refreshing until it finally slowed to a stop.
At the same time, Rogel felt a magical force flushing through his entire body.
"Is this the power of the game character?"
Clenching his fist, he felt that abundant strength, so different from before, and was thrilled.
He could confirm that his body was indeed enhanced alongside the game character.
"Unbelievable..."
Besides the physical enhancement, Rogel also sensed that he could summon a mysterious power at any time.
After calming his excitement, Rogel opened his character panel.
[Title: Rogel]
[Level: 1]
[Body: 8]
[Spirit: 8]
[Faith: 8]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Special Skills: Knowledge Comprehension Lv1, Fog Flash Lv1.]
[Life Skills: Fishing Lv6, Sailing Lv1, Mysticism Lv1, Cooking Lv1, Swimming Lv1...]
[Talents: Fishing Master, Hei's Soul, Mystic.]
It's like trading an old gun for a cannon, brothers!
All three attribute values have been comprehensively improved, the tier elevated to Extraordinary, and two special skills acquired!
Rogel clicked on the skill explanation.
[Knowledge Comprehension Lv1: Your progress in learning extraordinary skills and mysterious knowledge is greatly increased, and you can actively consume Spiritual Value for acceleration.]
[Fog Flash Lv1: Consumes 5 points of Spirit or Faith, allows the body to temporarily fog and flash over a small distance.]
It's like a cow being shocked by electricity, ridiculously awesome!
Rogel was ecstatic.
He was incredibly satisfied with these two skills!
The Fog Flash for mobility, whether for attack or escape, is extremely useful.
Apart from its high consumption, it has no significant drawbacks.
With his current attributes, he could use this skill twice.
If Spiritual Value and Faith Value could be mixed to pay, he'd get an extra use.
The Knowledge Comprehension skill is also excellent.
Rogel was still a newbie in this world, with lots of knowledge and skills to absorb and learn.
This skill would certainly speed up his progress significantly.
Even more exciting was the enhancement of his clone talent.
"That's right."
"It seems I can use the skills of the game character too."
Rogel instantly got excited again.
After putting down the phone, Rogel stood by the bed, took a deep breath.
Then, he raised his right hand, and with a thought,
In an instant, his body turned into a human-shaped gray mist.
Immediately, the gray mist flew swiftly to the doorway, into the living room, recondensed into human form.
Rogel looked at his body and limbs, then slowly grinned, ultimately breaking into uncontrollable gales of laughter.
"And the most important thing..."
Rogel paused, closed his eyes, and silently recited the perspective switch in his mind.
Next moment.
Whoa!
The sound of waves lapping against rocks entered his ears.
Seabirds in the sky chirped crisply, the slightly salty sea breeze brushing across his face.
Rogel opened his eyes, looked at his hands, and the small boat beside Reef Island.
He could actually directly operate the game from his own perspective!
And the whole pixelated game world, along with his perspective change, turned into an extremely real world in front of him!
"..."
For a moment, Rogel was too stunned to speak.
After a long while, Rogel rubbed his face, then exited the real-person perspective.
The game character was still on that Reef Island holding a fishing rod.
The clone over there still didn't have any new findings.
After calming down, Rogel continued fishing.
Although he stumbled into becoming an Extraordinary by accident, he still wanted to buy a big ship or upgrade his small boat into a big one.
As he fished, Rogel couldn't help but ponder.
Now that he possessed such supernatural power, how should he approach his future life?
Should he act recklessly as a superhero?
Rogel shook his head; he had no interest in that.
No reason, just didn't want to.
After all, in his current life, even without such extraordinary power, he could live comfortably.
What about being a hero saving the world?
... Even if he was bored to death, Rogel wouldn't do such a thing; he'd rather just relax and laze around.
Living carefree and at ease is enough; why exert oneself?
In short, just go about life as usual, living freely is what matters.
After these thoughts, Rogel leisurely resumed fishing.
...
As the afternoon approached, Rogel had caught a basket full of fish, and the clone had yet to find any special treasure.
Rogel returned to Sea Serpent Island town, sold the fish at a general store, bought some tobacco and alcohol, and headed to Boatman Felix's shipyard.
Felix was still puffing on a cigarette, laboring at the shipyard side.
Seeing Rogel bring tobacco and alcohol, he took them unceremoniously, without even a word of thanks.
[You have many things to learn; just watch from the side first.]
Rogel controlled his avatar to stand beside Felix, quietly observing his movements.
[You are learning the skill: Artisan.]
[By observing Boatman Felix's work, you gained some study progress.]
[Current progress 1/100.]
Seeing this, Rogel's eyes lit up.
As expected, he could learn skills from these game characters.
There's just the troublesome study progress.
The special skill Knowledge Comprehension only applies to extraordinary skills and mysterious knowledge, not artisan skills.
But Rogel was patient.
Before acquiring a ship large enough to support long voyages, he wouldn't leave the Harmony Sea Area; it's too perilous to navigate the vast sea on a small boat.
Whether Felix was inherently responsible as a mentor or if Rogel's gifts had an effect, Felix's given learning progress wasn't slow.
As night approached, Rogel had garnered a total of thirteen points of learning progress today.
At today's pace, it would take Rogel six to seven more days to learn the artisan skill.
