Chapter 6: Chapter 4 Rewards_2
"If you do a good job these next few days, I'll give you a special reward."
Reward! Chen Qi was instantly energized.
Under other pirates, there wouldn't usually be any extra rewards.
With that said, the little crow used a key to open a door inside the ship's medical room.
Behind the door were glass jars containing sea beasts.
At a glance, there were at least forty such glass jars!
"If you can extract from more than three by tonight, I'll add meat to your dinner.
If you can extract medicinal materials from five jars, I'll give you a life-saving potion.
If your learning and practical skills are strong and you can do more than ten, I'll give you a super awesome potion.
The value of this potion, even if you worked hard for a year, you might not be able to afford it."
"What if it's more than fifteen?"
"Twenty is the level I personally achieve," the little crow hummed with a sneer.
More than fifteen, what a joke!
Extracting medicinal materials from the body of a sea beast sounds simple, but it's a real test of patience and technique, and even for the little crow, who had many years of medical experience and gave it his all, he could probably only manage to extract from twenty by tonight.
"Don't set your goals too high at the start, aim for practicality, keep patient."
The little crow picked up a medicine box,
"Alright, I'm going to check the hygiene on the ship and distribute medications.
Remember, when dealing with sea beasts, don't lose your patience, patience is the key.
You must remember, each and every one of these sea beasts is extremely precious, very precious, worth you working an extra ten years."
After giving his instructions, the little crow left the medical room, leaving Chen Qi alone.
"Phew..."
Once the other person left, Chen Qi sat in the chair, flipping through the "Sea Beast Medicinal Materials Collection Guide."
The book detailed numerous cases of severe injuries from failed attempts.
It's not easy in this other world either, with people dying in the attempt to extract medicinal materials, mortgage debts looming, and the need to learn...
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, it took me five minutes, and now I fully understand it."
Chen Qi closed the book; his mind had completely grasped how to extract the medicinal materials from sea beasts.
Now his newbie panel was too weak; he had to grow it for a while.
The little crow was a doctor and had many powerful potions; if he could get those potion rewards, it would be of great help for his future actions.
Better to behave obediently before planning his escape.
Chen Qi walked into the storage room filled with sea beast jars, put on gloves, and began to work!
Theoretically, with his Deep Sea Affinity, sea beasts wouldn't attack him, and the task of extracting medicinal materials should be easy for him.
However, the specific effects of Deep Sea Affinity still required further verification.
First, Chen Qi fancied a black octopus the size of a human head.
He slowly extended his hand into the jar, dipped it into the water, and reached into the mouth beneath the octopus' head.
Then he raised his middle finger and index finger, carefully plucking off the granular special medicinal materials from the octopus' body.
Each step was important, as stated in the book.
Slowly, with patience...
Suddenly, the octopus' tentacles and suction cups forcefully tightened, entangling his wrist.
Damn it, a mistake!
His mind understood, but his hand didn't!
At that moment, the tentacles of the deep-sea monster exerted a violent force, emitting an indescribable strange sound, like a low cry or a mournful tune.
What was it trying to convey?
Fear, hostility, assimilation, or introducing me to their god?
Chen Qi broke into a cold sweat.
Although he had the Deep Sea Affinity talent, he didn't understand the language of deep-sea creatures.
He could only rely on a kind of intuition, the intuition of his body, to feel this ancient biological information.
Feel, slowly feel...
As long as you take it slowly, you can understand the terrible language of this sea beast!
Chen Qi relaxed his body and focused his attention on his hand.
Finally, in an instant!
Chen Qi felt the meaning of the ancient creature's language:
"Ah, that feels good, do it again, again~"
Fuck!
In that moment of realization, Chen Qi's heart turned cold, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly before suddenly grabbing the medicinal material and yanking his hand out of the jar.
With a look of terror and his pupils contracted, he stared at the ominous octopus sea beast in the jar.
What had he just felt! Is this the kind of message a deep-sea monster should communicate to a human! Where's its monster dignity?
Did his just now erringly touch the sea beast's comfortable spot?
Wait, what part of the sea beast did he touch just now?
Chen Qi shook his head, not wanting to think too hard; he wasn't some deep-sea creature enthusiast.
Regardless, he had extracted the medicinal material, and his understanding of the Deep Sea Affinity talent had increased.
This also proved, his Deep Sea Affinity talent was indeed strong!
Bang!
Just then, the door of the medical room was suddenly pushed open, and the little crow's head slowly peeked in, looking at the still shaken Chen Qi.
She had just passed by and heard the sound of the sea beast and Chen Qi moving backward.
The voice of some sea beasts possessed a strange magic that could induce a feeling of fear in people.
Chen Qi's reaction clearly indicated that he had been scared.
Perhaps sea beasts were still too terrifying for ordinary people, the little crow thought, shaking her head slightly.
At this rate, it was questionable whether he could even do three by tonight, not to mention more than five.
He might even develop a phobia of deep-sea creatures!
How was she supposed to train him to be her assistant in the future!
Raising a good assistant is no easy task, thought the little crow with a sigh, trying to reassure:
"Keep calm, take it slowly, there's plenty of time before evening."
