Navigator: I Have a Legendary Exploration Log

Once Chalice made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

What if this guy dies before I can do anything? Wouldn't that be a waste of a considerable amount of legendary points?

The injury caused by the harpoon earlier was rapidly worsening.

Food connoisseurs are also accumulating "slaughter experience".

Chalice could see the bigmouth fish's vitality more clearly now.

Although these veins, which represent the vitality of this behemoth, are gradually weakening, their trajectory has begun to take shape.

The tough, bluish-black skin of the bigmouth fish now resembled a translucent membrane, revealing the intricate network of veins, blood vessels, and even bones beneath the skin, all as clearly as a skilled butcher dissecting an ox.

Chalice's eyes narrowed, and he twisted his waist and swung his arms!

call out--

With his full effort, the harpoon streaked through the air with a sharp whooshing sound, cutting through the salty, bloody, and damp air!

The attack missed the bigmouth fish's head.

Cheryl's target was behind the gill slits of the bigmouth fish, a dark red cartilaginous slit that opened and closed with its faint breathing.

That wasn't the fish's weakest point, but it was a vital spot that could reach directly to the central nervous system.

The harpoon pierced straight into the gap, directly damaging the bigmouth fish's central nervous system!

The enormous maw, which was already powerless to open and tear, suddenly froze, and a muffled, strange hiss came from its throat.

Its massive body convulsed violently a few times, and its thick tail fin slammed against the deck twice.

Then he completely collapsed.

Dark red blood gushed out from the harpoon.

In a short time.

The deck was deathly silent.

All that remained were the howling sea breeze and the low rumble of the turbines.

"Well done!"

Wirtz was the first to break the silence.

He held the shotgun upright with one hand, while excitedly waving his fist with the other.

The sailors, as if waking from a dream, erupted in deafening cheers.

"My God! The captain actually killed that monster with just two harpoons!?"

"Long live the captain!"

"Wow! I'm rich!"

"Captain, may I continue to follow you? If you don't mind, from now on, the Homecoming will be my home..."

……

Chalice also breathed a rare sigh of relief.

He flipped through the illusory diary in his mind.

[Exploration: First encounter with the extraordinary creature, the Bigmouth Fish, and the corresponding materials obtained - 10 Legendary Points]

[Battle: Commanded the crew to capture the Bigmouth Fish without any casualties, excellent performance; personally killed the Bigmouth Fish - 20 Legendary Points]

A Bigmouth Fish, 30 Legendary Points.

This doesn't even include the association's compensation upon completion of the mission.

All that Chalice himself paid were the crew's wages and fuel; as for losses like bait...

It's practically negligible!

all in all.

This is a huge profit!

Is this the power of an extraordinary being after transformation?

Chalice raised his hand, gazing at his slender fingers that seemed unchanged.

You only know how terrifying a sudden surge in physical fitness can be once you experience it yourself!

Putting aside everything else.

If Chillis were still an ordinary person, poor Eddie would either have fallen headfirst into the sea or had half his body eaten away by a giant mouth fish.

Without someone as extraordinary as myself in charge.

Once a bigmouthed fish jumps onto the deck, it's no longer a home delivery.

With that huge mouth chewing away, it's very likely that it will taste the saltiness of all the living creatures on the deck.

It's really hard to say who will hunt whom...

however……

The only difference is the addition of Chalice, a newly promoted Extraordinary.

A tiny variable caused this enormous and extraordinary creature to die a very frustrating death.

This is the power of the extraordinary!

A satisfied and delighted smile curved at the corners of Chalice's lips.

With this precise kill, his understanding of the Gourmet Sequence has become much deeper.

Chalice could even see from the life veins that the phlogiston and extraordinary properties contained in this big-mouthed fish had not been lost much.

Authentic and original!

It's definitely worth a good price!

"It's been a while since we caught a big one... First Mate! Have someone bring out the water tanks we used when we first started fishing!"

"We'll make a fortune transporting this bigmouthed fish back home! We can't let it just lie there bleeding on the deck! Blood is money!" Chalice shouted.

"Understood! Eddie! Follow me!"

Wirtz assigned men and they got to work immediately.

The deck was bustling with activity once again.

Chalice walked up the gangway and returned to the bridge amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the sailors.

The journey home went smoothly...

……

The port on Simon Island remains busy.

Moreover, it was evening, and the captains of fishing boats generally did not spend the night at sea.

The sounds of ships entering the harbor and the shouts of dockworkers rose and fell, announcing that the busiest time of day on Simon Island was about to begin.

As the Homecoming slowly docked, the sailors used thick, stiff hemp ropes to unload the ferocious, nearly three-meter-long fish, immediately drawing the attention of everyone around.

"My God! That's... a giant-mouthed fish!? Are you kidding me! They actually caught an extraordinary creature?"

"This wound! A fatal blow! Oh...it's fantastic! Not a scratch on the skin, this bigmouthed fish is of excellent quality!"

"Who is that person? Is this ship called the Homecoming? Who is the captain?!"

"Look at that black hair... I know, it's the one who was..."

"Shh! Are you out of your mind?! This captain and the governor are no pushovers. You can't afford to mess with either of them!"

……

Amidst the envious and amazed whispers of the crowd, Cherries led Wirtz strode toward the dock workers who were receiving goods.

After presenting the badge and mission documents, Cheryl's request was given priority.

Seeing such a perfectly preserved bigmouthed fish, even the seasoned staff of the Navigators' Association couldn't help but take a second look at Cherries.

His tone became increasingly kind, and he smiled much more often.

Chalice had observed all these changes.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is what people are like...

When I first arrived at Simon Island, I was penniless and knew nothing, not even how to understand the language.

If Sartre hadn't kindly taken him in, he probably would have been struggling to even find food in the trash, fighting with stray dogs on the street.

No one could have predicted it.

Less than three years.

That once unhealthy and naive young man not only became a captain, but also an extraordinary individual.

The hardships and bitterness of those times now seem like nothing more than the trials and tribulations of life...

……

"Captain Cherries, it's so good to see you again so soon!"

Susanna verified the voucher issued by the dock.

"The largemouth fish was caught intact, without any extra wounds or large areas of damage..."

She exclaimed sincerely, "Your efficiency and skill are truly amazing! May I ask how old you are?"

"The youngest in the grade..."

After a moment's thought, Chalice replied, "I think I'm twenty! I've been so busy these past few years, I've almost forgotten..."

"Wow...you're really amazing!"

Susanna said softly, "Perhaps you should relax a bit. Being too tense isn't a good thing."

"Please wait a moment, I'll process your settlement and promotion formalities immediately. As far as I know... you have a good chance of becoming the youngest Black Iron Captain on Simon Island!"

These words were spoken.

The surrounding staff and the extraordinary captain all cast curious glances their way.

No matter where.

Strength is always the best passport.

The youngest captain of the Black Iron Ship, the significance behind him is enough to attract their attention.

Chalice noticed the attention he was receiving.

Most of these gazes were friendly, and a few quick-thinking captains even smiled and nodded at him.

In response, Chalice did not adopt a haughty attitude but politely responded to these captains who showed goodwill.

We're all just trying to make a living at sea, so we might need to help each other out someday.

Only a fool would make enemies for no reason, without any grudge or resentment.

soon.

Susanna then trotted back in her high heels, her beautiful face beaming with joy.

"Captain Cherries! I have two pieces of good news!"
