The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning.

Of course, it's to fill our stomachs.

Chalice got another free lavish buffet.

This time, the head chef came out of the kitchen and gently persuaded Cherries to have a slightly "more substantial" meal, instead of just eating fried eggs, and to leave some for the captains who sleep in.

In this regard.

Cheryl readily accepted the advice and then tried her best to prepare all the dishes.

Arrived at Mason Law Firm.

The door was locked.

After waiting for about half an hour, Mason, dressed in a suit and tie and displaying his exceptional intelligence, finally arrived at the law firm.

"Chilis, you're right on time!"

"I like to fulfill my obligations ahead of schedule."

Chalice responded with a smile.

"This will leave a good impression on the client, and the probability of continuing to cooperate in the future will be greatly increased."

"Good habit!"

Mason opened the door and ushered Cherries into the law firm.

"Because I already have a very good impression of you!"

He placed his briefcase on the desk and took out a set of keys from it.

After finding the one he needed, Mason bent down and unscrewed a locked drawer.

"Here! This is the information you requested, clues about the ingredients for the [Appraiser] potion. Unfortunately, readily available materials are not easy to obtain, since the demand for materials from the Chaotic Path is far less than that from the Order Path. However, these clues are free."

"If you want me to get the materials for you, that will cost extra."

"Let me check the clues first."

Instead of immediately agreeing or declining, Chalice took the documents and looked through them.

"Ambergris, peppermint leaves, natural spring water, nutmeg powder... these auxiliary ingredients are alright..."

"The key lies in the three main ingredients: the pituitary gland of the unicorn seahorse, the tentacles of the black-striped octopus, and the mature fruit of the bloodthorn tree—each one more difficult to obtain than the last!"

Chalice frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Mason is quite reliable; the materials don't deviate from the formula I obtained myself."

"But if I were to buy all these things, it would definitely cost a fortune, and I simply can't afford them right now!"

"If we can source the main materials ourselves, the cost of auxiliary materials won't be a big problem..."

After making up my mind.

He nodded to Mason. "Please help me find these auxiliary materials! I'll find the main materials myself!"

"Okay, I'll contact the seller for you first."

Mason readily agreed, saying, "However, you can also prepay some money, so I can buy it for you directly when I find a suitable price."

Upon hearing this...

Chalice pulled open his trench coat with his right hand, about to touch the check that hadn't even warmed up yet, when he paused and thought for a moment.

He didn't rush to pay.

"Let's look for it first! We'll talk about it when I get back!"

"it is good."

Mason didn't ask Cherries where he was going.

He's served many clients seeking transaction information, and the only reason he's survived to this day is because he knows not to be too curious...

……

Leave the law firm.

Chalice went to the Navigators' Association.

He doesn't like to place all his hopes on a single source, just like he would use divination to verify a recipe after obtaining it.

As usual, I went to the corner.

Chalis closed his eyes to rest, and the self that belonged to the diary began to emerge in his mind.

[Divination: Which of these three materials—unicorn seahorse pituitary gland, black-striped octopus tentacles, and ripe bloodthorn fruit—is easiest for me to obtain? Where can I find them? (Consumes 30 Legendary Points)]

The issue was adjusted several times.

This is the most "cost-effective" sentence structure.

Abstract images, reminiscent of oil paintings, surge forth like a tide, with colors layered and lines intertwined; everything begins to flow even before it takes shape.

In the picture, the miniature "Chiris" begins to stride towards various possible futures with stick figure-like legs.

He ran to the bulletin board where the Navigators' Association issued its mission notices, passed through layers of illusory figures, and stopped in front of a brand-new document.

[Investigation of the missing island]

The mission type is surprisingly an exploration mission!

On relatively peaceful islands like Simon Island and Maro Island, 99% of the captains are fishing captains or exploration captains; exploration captains are rarely seen here.

Because there are no more unknown sea areas to explore in the surrounding area.

Captains of exploratory ships who occasionally pass by are often warmly welcomed by the people.

After all, in an era when ordinary people weren't well-informed, exploration ships from afar often brought some strange and interesting stories.

Human curiosity about the unknown surpasses even the most monotonous vices like alcoholism, gambling, and indulgence...

The stick figure "Chalis" jumped suddenly.

He was instantly absorbed into that mission briefing.

He began to fall from the sky, as if in a dream, without any sound, even the air currents that should have been turbulent passing by his ears remained silent.

As it falls.

The island, the size of a black dot below, rapidly zooms in.

The jagged black rocks rise up like the spine of a giant beast, and countless scarlet shrubs meander through the crevices of the rocks.

In an instant!

The downward trend of "Chiris" suddenly slowed down!

He seemed to be moving in slow motion.

Fruits of varying sizes came into view, their crimson color resembling congealed blood, their skins faintly gleaming with a waxy sheen.

Bloodthorn fruit!

Chalice's heart raced involuntarily.

And then the next second.

Snapped--

He fell heavily onto the rock as he plummeted, and out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of countless blood-red thorny branches suddenly reaching out.

Chalis, smashed into a puddle, fell into darkness.

The brightly lit and bustling Navigators' Association.

in the corner.

Chalice's eyes widened suddenly.

"call……"

He asked the waiter for a free cup of coffee, using the bitterness to suppress the lingering shock.

The answer given by the divination was very direct.

Bloodthorn fruit is currently the easiest main material to obtain, and the way to get it is through the tasks posted on the bulletin board.

After calming himself down, Chalice finished his coffee in a few gulps and got up to go to the taskbar.

however.

When he arrived at the location he remembered, he was surprised to find that the spot where the sign "Investigate the Missing Island" should have been posted was empty.

Are you kidding me?

It's one thing to be vague and unclear, but at least give me the correct interpretation during a divination!

Before he could even frown and think further...

A staff member, carrying a stack of task briefings, pushed through the crowd and began posting tasks for available spaces.

In front of Chalice, she tiptoed and posted a quest titled "Investigate the Missing Island" in that familiar spot.

The unusual exploration mission immediately caught the attention of the onlookers, the captain.

Amidst the bustling crowd.

Cherries was stunned.

He belatedly realized that divination could actually offer a brief glimpse into the future!

Although this future has already happened.

There must have been some kind of accident or loss of contact on this island for the Navigators' Association to take notice and issue a special mission inviting the captain to investigate.

But the future that is about to happen is still the future!

Chalice stopped thinking about it.

Amidst the many curious yet wary discussions, he silently stepped forward, tore off a mission document, stuffed it into his pocket, and left.

Leaving behind rows of bewildered faces...

Since the divination indicates that this island is currently the easiest place for me to obtain materials, there's no need to hesitate any longer...

However, Chalice needed to make preparations before setting off.

After all, this was his first exploration mission!
