Navigator: I have a double six-story house

[Talent Awakening Completed]

【Talent Name: Gluttony (Crippled)】

[Effect 1: Increases experience points provided by food by 200%]

[Effect 2: Any food is digested quickly and completely, without waiting.]

[Effect 3: You will forever lose the feeling of fullness; hunger will forever surround you until it consumes you]

Su Qing stared at the system panel in front of her, reading the three lines of text over and over again.

Effect 1: Double experience points.

In other words, his experience of eating one serving of food will be equivalent to that of two servings for others.

The second effect is even more exaggerated.

Normally, in the Age of Exploration, what limits the upgrades of captains and crew is not only the amount of food, but also their stomachs.

Even if you are already extraordinary, there is still a limit to how much food you can eat.

Legend has it that there was a legendary captain who had a huge appetite before the Age of Exploration. He relied on his large appetite to quickly eat and level up, eventually becoming a legendary captain.

If Su Qing remembered correctly, this legendary captain's name was something like Liang.

Su Qing is even more outrageous now; he has no limit and can completely digest everything.

Thirdly, you will forever lose the feeling of fullness.

Su Qing felt that this was purely a negative effect, but given the two previous severe effects, it wasn't unacceptable.

The feelings he had experienced in the dungeon a few days ago surged through his body, and Su Qing frowned slightly.

It's nothing special.

"How is it? What were the results?"

Wang Yao leaned in so close that his face was almost touching Su Qing's.

Su Qing didn't hide anything and shared her talent panel with the crew.

This is a built-in feature of the system; members on the same ship can view each other's publicly available information.

Selena has never used this feature.

After reading it, Wang Yao remained silent for a moment.

Then he grabbed Su Qing's shoulder, his eyes filled with a complex mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Talent!"

"Su Zai, you've unleashed your talent!"

His voice suddenly rose eight octaves, becoming somewhat shrill.

"Do you even know what a talented captain means?"

"One in ten thousand!"

"I've read so many posts on the forums, and I've only ever heard of this thing; I've never actually met anyone who knows a talented captain!"

Su Qing felt a little uneasy under Wang Yao's intense gaze and reached out to push him away.

"Don't be like this, we're not a good match."

He paused for a moment after he finished speaking.

The food I just ate has completely disappeared; my stomach feels empty, as if I haven't eaten anything at all.

The third effect came rather quickly.

However, there was no feeling of weakness from hunger, so it seems that it was just hunger and wouldn't affect attributes.

This hunger is a kind of sensory deficiency, which is a bit annoying, but Su Qing can still tolerate it.

Selena jumped off the barrel and walked up to Su Qing with a shrewd smile typical of businesswomen.

"Captain, do you still think those seeds are garbage?"

Su Qing narrowed her eyes, recalling those strange seeds.

Hamburger seeds, pizza seeds, steak seeds...

A large quantity of food seeds, his plantation, and the effects of gluttony...

"Could it be...?"

"That's right, just like I said, it's all fate's arrangement."

Selena smiled slightly.

Su Qing felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if an invisible hand had arranged everything.

He hates being "ordered around".

We are still very weak, and there's nothing we can do about it.

But when he has the power, he will definitely tear apart this disgusting "fate".

Su Qing slowly exhaled.

"Whatever, I'm making a real profit now."

"That's right."

Selena clapped her hands.

"Captain, your level can now take off!"

"Plant these seeds, and while others will get three meals a day, the captain will get thirty, and his experience will skyrocket."

When Wang Yao heard his experience points increase rapidly, his eyes instantly turned red.

"And what about me?"

"I also eat thirty meals a day?"

"You don't have any talent, senior," Selena said in the gentlest tone, revealing the cruelest truth. "If you keep eating like this, you'll just turn into a pig and die from overeating."

Wang Yao clutched his chest, as if something had shattered.

Su Qing was not blinded by this seemingly impressive talent.

He rubbed his chin, feeling something was off, and asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Double experience plus unlimited food, that sounds really impressive."

"But, it can't be as serious as you say, can it?"

He thought of Lin An, and the fleet behind Lin An that was willing to go to any lengths to invade the beginner dungeon.

"Is this level of strength even worth fighting over?"

Selena looked at him, her eyes filled with admiration for the captain.

"The captain is indeed astute."

She held up two fingers.

"First, Captain's current talent is incomplete."

"This talent can become even stronger as more Gluttony Fragments are acquired."

"Secondly, the benefits aren't just about giving someone a talent."

Selena had a smile on her face, and Su Qing began to wonder what other benefits this gluttony could provide besides talent.

"What else?"

Selena opened her mouth, about to explain.

At that moment, the Sunny suddenly experienced a violent tremor.

Su Qing swayed slightly, barely managing to stand up straight, while Wang Yao, caught off guard, tripped and fell on his backside.

"What's going on?!"

Su Qing looked up and saw that the nameless island they had just left was sinking to the port side.

It melts at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a sugar cube thrown into coffee.

The sea began to churn, and waves surged in from all directions, causing the Sunny to bob violently in the waves.

Selena didn't answer Su Qing's question immediately. Instead, she jogged over and grabbed the rudder with both hands.

Her movements were extremely clean and efficient, and the hem of her pink dress fluttered in the wind.

"Captain!"

She shouted, her tone not panicked, but excited.

"The third benefit is this!"

Su Qing steadied herself and walked to the side of the ship.

The color of the seawater is changing.

The originally clear, light blue sea surface is now spreading outwards in concentric circles, revealing a deep indigo blue, as if the depth of the entire sea area has increased tenfold in an instant.

The clouds in the sky began to swirl, not with the oppressive feeling of a storm, but with a grander, more expansive sensation, as if the world itself was rearranging itself.

A system notification popped up.

[Route change detected]

[Current Route: Beginner Route (Public) → ???]

[Reason: The user who bound the Gluttony Fragment triggered the exclusive flight path]

Su Qing stared at the question mark, her pupils contracting slightly.

"Exclusive flight route?"

While keeping the ship steady, Selena turned back and shouted to him, "Captains who possess the Gluttony Shard will be guided onto a course that is unique to them!"

Su Qing stared at the question mark, her pupils contracting slightly.

"Exclusive flight route?"

Selena steadied the helm and shouted back at him, "Captains who possess the Gluttony Shard will be guided onto a course that is uniquely their own!"

"The instances, resources, and opportunities along this route are all tailor-made for fragment holders!"

"certainly......"

She changed the subject, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Danger is also tailor-made for you."

Wang Yao got up from the ground, leaned on the mast, and looked at the churning sea and the changing sky, his lips twitching.

"Is it too late to leave now?"

No one answered him, because everyone knew the answer.

That's too late.
