Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 238 Messenger, Diviner, and Lamp Keeper

The gentle sunlight streamed through the windows, comfortably bathing everyone in its warmth.

This small room was instantly filled with a bunch of materials... Jin Li introduced them one by one:
"Salamander tail, unicorn horn, mud beast liquid, sea dragon scales, X-type potion... These are all good stuff I've recently acquired, excellent for making rare potions. Flower Witch, take a look, is there anything you'd like to buy? I can sell you everything at the lowest price!"

This price is four-fifths of the black market price!

Rare material! The Flower Witch was deeply moved by what she heard.

Sure enough, she wouldn't lower the price... Chen Qi glanced at Jin Li.

As a superhuman, Jinli strictly adheres to her only principle: the Beacon.

Every person who adheres to the principles of nature will receive additional special bonuses.

As a legendary businesswoman, she must maintain a strong desire to make money at all times in order to retain the bonus from the extraordinary being.

The bonus from the Criterion of the Superhumans allows you to identify treasures and reduce shop prices within rifts.

Even if the recipient is the Flower Witch, Jinli will not give things away for nothing.

For legendary extraordinary individuals, career missions and uniqueness are of paramount importance.

Of course, selling things at low prices is already a very rare thing for this unscrupulous merchant.

Jin Li habitually began her sales pitch:
"This mud beast liquid can be used to make a special potion that dissolves clothes! Only 100,000 shells! This is a cat potion! It can give you the habits of a cat! 200,000 shells! This fire lizard tail can be used to make a flesh-restoring potion! Only a small million shells! You can get it! Miss Fen!"

The Flower Witch frowned as she faced the sales pitch:
"You have a salamander's tail! I've always wanted one, but unfortunately, I can't buy it."

Jin Li asked in confusion:
"why?"

The Flower Witch raised her head and said:
"I have no money."

Jin Li paused for a moment, then immediately rubbed her hands together as usual:

"It's alright, Miss Witch. I also offer loan services. With just a tiny bit of your soul, you can exchange it for one million shell coins..."

"No wonder he's a ruthless merchant that everyone hates, even his own leader wouldn't let him go..." Chen Qi couldn't help but complain as he glanced at the miscellaneous materials Jin Li had brought out.

The lizard tail contains an X-drug that reduces the rate of mutated cells, making it a rather useful tool for performing flesh-and-blood mutation surgery.

In addition, there is the Tear of the Bone Dragon. If you can find the Skeleton General's Skull Powder, you can commission the Flower Witch Fen to make a potion that strengthens the entire skeleton and greatly improves endurance in combat.

However, these things are all too complicated... Chen Qi shook his head.

The Flower Witch took out her potion and exchanged it with Jinli in exchange for some materials.

Then, Jin Li excitedly took out a nautical chart:
"By the way, Miss Witch! This is the new map he drew after the Rift Tide, which was created by our ship's slave... no! Our beloved Captain Palu, who has been searching for information about the Witch's Trial Grounds."

You can take a look; don't worry, there are no fees!

"Oh!"

Fen excitedly took the map from Jinli and unfolded it.

Jinli's map... Chen Qi curiously leaned closer to Fen's head.

Unlike ordinary nautical charts, this nautical chart places greater emphasis on marking resources and spheres of influence.

Four trial sites were marked.

These are the cup, blade, flower, and scale signs.

Among them, the Blade Phase and the Flower Phase are both located in special sea areas, but the witch relics in these two places have already been taken away by Finn.

Besides these, there are cup shapes and scale shapes—

One of these locations is the base of the Sea God Pirate Crew, and the other is the headquarters of the Navy in Moonstone City.

"Why...in these two places?"

The Flower Witch stared wide-eyed and asked in confusion.

Jin Li answered silently:

"According to our captain's information, the Cup Relic has become a sacred object of the Sea God Pirate Crew, while the Scale Relic was collected and sealed by the Navy ten years ago."

Jin Li's meaning is very simple.

The remaining relics! We'll have to steal them!

Finn rubbed his forehead. Neither the Sea God Pirates nor the Navy were forces they could afford to offend.

Wait a minute—Chen Qi stared at the nautical chart, a glint of light flashing in his eyes:
"Fen, can I borrow this map?"

Chen Qi's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed as he scanned the nautical chart at an extremely fast pace.

This sea map marks many rare resources and special locations.

Looking at these locations, a flood of ideas surged forth.

A drifting ship of books, a lost lighthouse ship, the Sea God's Order, a Black Blade warship—

As the Laughing Moon approaches, numerous foreign forces have entered the Witch Sea's territory.

Currently, as someone who is dedicated to the art of lamp-making, Chen Qi's next career will undoubtedly also be related to lamp-making.

He had three relatively conventional options.

First is the [Messenger], a third-tier Lantern Shell Appearance class. In addition to moderate Lantern Flower Appearance and Movement Skill Appearance, this class also has extremely strong mobility.

This profession has two 'delivery boxes', and can deliver items from one box to the other, no matter how far apart they are.

Additionally, as a professional in the shell-collecting profession, one will also open a small shop.

In addition, this profession has also gained a basic grasp of the ability of "space travel" and can study advanced auxiliary abilities such as "weather forecasting" and "space jump".

The job is to deliver letters, and the reward is Spirit Points, plus special Messenger Coins.

The more difficult the destination, the higher the reward.

This profession is also a legendary profession, a legitimate subordinate profession to the Calamity Messenger and the Great Reporter.

In the meteorological bureau and the White Dove newspaper in the country of Bei, being a messenger is the most common and also the most competitive profession.

In addition, the White Dove Newspaper also has a special profession of photographer, who can use a camera to capture ghosts and immobilize others.

However, this job is impossible to obtain without joining the White Dove newspaper.

Second, the Diviner, a third-tier profession of Lucky Book Divination, gains moderate Lucky Book Divination comprehension, and with increased comprehension, inspiration is comprehensively enhanced.

This profession comes with a simple 'Tarot' divination method. In addition, you can learn pendulum, astrology, numerology, and so on.

In combat, diviners can create many special spells that apply buffs, and some exceptionally gifted diviners can even cast powerful meteor spells at the third tier.

The profession's task is divination, with a major divination performed once a week. Based on the subject and result of the major divination, the profession will gain a special 'divination inspiration', which can be used to enhance skills and unleash divine intervention.

The highest-ranking legendary profession in this field is the Astrologer.

Third, the third-tier Lamp Balance profession, the Lamp Keeper, can obtain a medium level of Lamp Balance comprehension.

This class will gain a very special 'lighting spell', as well as night vision and strong darkness tolerance.

This skill can enhance light sources within a 50-meter radius, evolving them into a powerful 'holy light'.

Within the illuminated area, all hostile creatures will receive a Weakness buff. Additionally, the light will deal terrifying true damage to all dark creatures. Furthermore, they will gain 'Day/Night Reversal,' meaning they are less active during the day and more easily aroused at night, and will also receive a special buff that increases all their attributes.

Generally speaking, the elderly people at the lighthouses on each island are often those in that profession.

The job is to keep the light, which simply means to light a lamp in a dangerous area and ensure that the light does not go out before dawn.

The more dangerous the danger zone, the greater the reward. When the rewards are sufficient, you will also receive additional 'Inspiration of the Lamp', which can enhance the learning speed of skill cards.

The highest-ranking legendary profession in this class is the Lighthouse Keeper.

Besides these, there are arsonists in the form of lamplight and ascetics in the form of lamplight and ice...

However, even if one successfully obtains these professions without joining a supernatural organization, it is difficult to develop them.

Messenger, fortune teller, lamplighter... Chen Qi's fingers silently moved to various locations on this sea chart.

These three professions can be obtained with a certain probability, without joining an extraordinary organization.

The best way to obtain a Messenger is through kidnapping or robbery. As long as you can kidnap someone from the Weather Bureau or the White Dove Newspaper and get a job card, it's not too difficult.

For example, Peru from the White Dove newspaper would be the perfect kidnapping target.

The diviner, on the other hand, relies on the Book Ship that roams the border between the Witch Sea and the Book Sea.

The Book Ship comes from the White Tower Federation and is an exploration ship used by the White Tower Federation to enter the Witch Sea.

As long as you're willing to become a spy for the Kingdom of Bei, agree to help the White Tower Federation, gather information on the Kingdom of Bei's naval bases and the Trial Grounds, and obtain a Diviner's Profession Card, it's not too difficult.

The acquisition of a lighthouse keeper depends on the lighthouse keeper.

When a maddened Tier 3 superhuman dies, they will drop certain special materials.

Although these materials may cause a slight distortion in class cards, they are the best materials for crafting Tier 3 class cards!
Chen Qi placed his finger on the sea area controlled by the Sea God Pirate Crew.

During the battle between the Bloodblade Pirates and the Black Whale Pirates, the Sea God Pirates secretly traveled to various sea areas and seized many islands.

According to the information he had, there was a very high probability that the lighthouse keepers on these Poseidon pirate islands were insane third-order light phase superhumans!
In other words, as long as you can defeat a maddened lamplighter and hand over the lamplighter's materials to a card maker, he can obtain a lamplighter's lamplight profession card.

Hmm, which one should I choose... Chen Qi fell into thought for a moment.

At that moment, Fen secretly asked:
"What are you thinking?"

Chen Qi answered with great difficulty:
"I'm contemplating the three-tiered path of my lamplight—"

If he is a messenger and wants to grow stronger, he needs a lot of movement skill cards. Ideally, like the reporter from the White Dove Newspaper, he should have a flying mount.

However, as a price to pay for his ability to escape, his combat abilities will be significantly weakened.

If he were a fortune teller, he would have to frantically increase his favorability with the White Tower Federation and become a super spy in order to obtain the subsequent Book of Fortune Telling skill cards.

However, the White Tower Federation's exploration ships are no ordinary vessels; they are an extremely dangerous organization.

His legendary hunter group, the Knowledge Hunters, possesses the ability to impart knowledge and even alter common human understanding.

If you're not careful, they might tamper with your memories and turn you into a tool for their exploration of the Witch's Sea.

If one is a lamplighter, it means that one's day and night are reversed, and the time spent active in the dark is greatly increased.

At the same time, the Lantern Keeper is a special profession that attracts monsters and is prone to suffering from the curse of the night.

If he chooses the lamplighter, the danger of his adventure will increase significantly.

In addition, the skill build for the Lantern Keeper requires many special Scale skills, and the difficulty of acquiring these Scale skills is also a problem.

The messenger is too weak, the diviner relies on others; indeed, the lamplighter is better...

Moreover, I also have a lantern specifically for the lamplighter.

After much deliberation, Chen Qi wandered between three places: the route of the White Dove Newspaper, the Tower of Books, and the Sea God Pirate Crew.

Finally, it slowly came to a stop at the base of the Sea God Pirates.

Combat intensity is his primary concern right now.

In the Laughing Moon environment, the dangers of the night increase, and the lightkeepers who can operate in the dark are undoubtedly a very powerful profession.

Suddenly, Chen Qi was surprised to find a deep blue flame marking the waters under the jurisdiction of the Sea God Pirates.

"Blue flames..."

Chen Qi was taken aback.

Deep blue fire is a special flame that can only be born in the crack tides!

A frenzied, furious, and powerful extraordinary flame!
The Ember Touch and Ember Hand on his body were both forged from this item!
Chen Qi immediately asked:

"Jinli, what does this blue flame mark mean? Is the Sea God Pirate Crew digging for Deep Blue Flame again?"

Deep blue fire? What's that? Jin Li looked puzzled.
"The Poseidon Pirates attacked the Bonfire Energy Company's ships and looted all of the Bonfire Energy Company's equipment. Then they started digging in that area."

"My intuition tells me that the blue flame is exceptionally rare and a priceless treasure!"

Deep blue fire... Chen Qi and Fendu were extremely excited.

This is definitely not just a good thing! This is the strongest flame capable of forging forbidden weapons!
The Sea God Pirates began digging, which means they have found a vein of deep-sea fire!

"Good stuff..." Chen Qi thought to himself, and couldn't help but turn his attention to the territory of the Sea God Pirates.

Deep blue fire, plus a Tier 3 Lamp class card!
Even just one item would be enough for him to make a trip to the Sea God Pirates.

Chen Qi looked around to make sure there were no eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall, then raised an eyebrow and said:
"Fen, Jinli, next, I'm going to the waters of the Sea God Pirates."

"???"

The moment the words were spoken, Jin Li and Fen couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

What's going on? Why did this man suddenly decide to head to the Sea God Pirate Crew's base after talking about the Deep Blue Flame?
Could it be for me? Fen looked up excitedly, blushing, and said:

"Well, you don't need to go to the Sea God Pirates for the witch's relics. We can take it slow..."

Jin Li coughed twice, reminding him:

"Mr. Hunter, that's the base of the Sea God Pirates. With the support of the Black Whale Gang, there are countless mutated sea monsters and countless twisted shadows in that place!"

Moreover, those fanatical Poseidon cultists are even more ferocious than the most vicious pirate groups!

Jin Li gave a cold laugh.

If the Black Whale Pirates were ruthless plunderers, then the Sea God Pirates were insane.

Even a wealthy merchant like Jin Li was afraid to enter the Sea God Pirate Gang's base.

With Chen Qi's current strength, venturing alone into the territory of the Sea God Pirates would be tantamount to suicide.

Jin Li tried her best to dissuade the Black Hunter.

"..."

Chen Qi was silent for a moment, then the tentacles on his clothes twitched. He leaned back and said with a smile:

"Don't you guys think I'm a pretty good match for the Sea God Pirates?"
