Ficool

Chapter 9 - Level 5 Medium Ship

[The Absolute Compass (Orange) talent might seem to be only usable for finding and locating things, but such thinking was too shortsighted.]

[At least, anyone with a brain would exploit it to the point that it could be used for a yes or no question regarding whether something existed in that world or not.]

[While you were bored in the past eight days during your voyage to find your fairy fruit, you had tested your Absolute Compass talent before.]

[You started by asking to let the compass find "The One", which caused the Absolute Compass's magnetic needle to spin rapidly, unable to locate their existence.]

[But when you asked it to locate mermaids, the Absolute Compass's magnetic needle pointed west from where you were at that time. In other words, mermaids existed in this world.]

[However, when you asked it to locate fairies, its magnetic needle also spun rapidly, which either meant that fairies didn't exist in this world, or they couldn't be located by the Absolute Compass due to not existing in the same world layer.]

[For example, fairies could possibly exist in this world, but in another world layer, like the difference between the physical world and a hypothetical "fairy realm".]

[In that case, while they'd both be in the same world, they wouldn't be in the same world layer, so the Absolute Compass couldn't locate them.]

[With that in mind, after you asked the Absolute Compass for the location where you can acquire the method to obtain a different power system aside from the fairy fruit, it soon responded as its magnetic needle pointed southeast.]

["That's interesting. So this world doesn't just have fairy fruits but also another power system. I mean, that's highly possible considering that fairy fruits are rare and unique to the point that only one fruit existed for each fairy fruit."]

[In other words, even if you want to, you couldn't find another Water Sprite Fruit, which was the fairy fruit that King King had eaten. It wasn't merely a conjecture as you had tested with your Absolute Compass, and it really couldn't find any.]

[After getting direction from the Absolute Compass, you have another voyage even after finding your fairy fruit.]

["Even King King hasn't informed me of the existence of another power system. So it's either he knew but didn't tell me, or he truly hadn't obtained any information from his innate talent."]

[Whether King King was hiding something from you or not wasn't important. After all, the two of you were merely allies, but aren't sworn brothers or something.]

[And if you ever need to find him to make use of his innate talent, your Absolute Compass (Orange) talent can dox not only him but other survivors.]

[So if they dared to offend you in the chat group and scheme against you, you dared to meet them offline.]

[Leaving the island, you boarded your Level 4 Advanced Small Boat and rowed your oars, heading southeast.]

[Even while staying in your boat, you weren't idle as you trained your usage of your Metal Chain Fairy Fruit.]

[Not only that, you often check the regional chat group if there's any new material or even a blueprint to trade for.]

[As you voyage at sea, heading southeast, two weeks have passed by, and it has been 22 days since the Global Ocean Survival started.]

[During the past two weeks, you managed to finally acquire materials from trading that allowed you to upgrade your Level 4 Advanced Small Boat into a Level 5 Medium Ship.]

[Not only did a Level 5 Medium Boat have more space, but the medium ship no longer needed to be rowed.]

[A sail rose along the mast, and a marine engine rumbled to life beneath the deck, allowing it to move with nothing more than a turn of the helm.]

[Unlike the advanced small boat, the medium ship now had a cabin, a cramped but enclosed space that finally allowed him to rest without exposure to the elements.]

[It has inconvenienced you before when sleeping on the boat due to being awakened by rain or the cold breeze at night. Now, you can finally rest peacefully as you already gotten used to the slight swaying of the ship due to the ocean waves.]

[Moreover, you were lucky enough to obtain the blueprint for an Autopilot Module from the regional chat group's trading market, which you immediately used and integrated into your ship.]

[Fortunately, the Autopilot Module could be connected to a navigation interface for setting a destination, and in that regard, you used your Absolute Compass as that interface.]

[The Absolute Compass might be soul-bound and could only be seen by you, but that's its default appearance, as you could choose to let it manifest in the real world.]

[Moreover, during the past two weeks, King King informed you that the Fairy Fruit Alliance had managed to take down a 50-meter-tall sea monster that looked like a Kraken.]

[Of course, even with all the members of that alliance being fairy fruit users, there were still casualties since not all fairy fruits are powerful.]

[Moreover, fairy fruit users who aren't Hybrid-Type often have weak physical bodies, so one hit from that 50-meter-tall sea monster would kill them.]

[As one of the high-ranking members of the Fairy Fruit Alliance, King King had previously invited you to partake in that hunt, but you had declined his offer.]

[After all, you were still after the method to acquire a different power system, which you had guessed to be a method to strengthen the physical body.]

[You knew that most fairy fruit users have weak physical bodies, so it's only natural that the other power system this Global Ocean Survival World possessed was related to strengthening the physical body.]

[As you voyaged into the open ocean, you took out a telescope you obtained from trading and saw an island.]

[However, when you were only halfway near the island, the Absolute Compass's magnetic needle pointed away from the island.]

[You tried moving in other directions and finally, you realized that the place the Absolute Compass was pointing towards was deep underwater!]
