Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

In the morning, in front of the harbor of Moonstone City, a gentle breeze blew, carrying a faint scent of sea salt.

On the harbor, fishing boats were docked neatly, their sails gently fluttering in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

The small houseboat slowly sailed into the harbor from the distant blue horizon.

"Finally arrived."

Chen Qi patted the Flower Witch on the shoulder:

"Flower Witch, we've arrived, time to wake up."

He hadn't expected that the Flower Witch could sleep on the boat for over twenty-four hours straight!

And she slept very deeply!

Poor Deep Sea Water Elf No. 1 was pressed under the witch's collarbone and hadn't moved for a whole day, with the Flower Witch's drool on its body.

"We're here?"

The Flower Witch opened her drowsy eyes and stretched:

"Did I sleep for a whole day?"

"Yes, and you slept very deeply."

Did I snore or drool? My elegant and mysterious image!

The Flower Witch was startled, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

As an elegant witch, she had to maintain her image.

She immediately got up, put on her cloak, covering her face and the white arms and legs adorned with flowers.

Although her sleeping posture was a bit unsightly, ever since arriving at Witch Sea, this was the first time she had slept so comfortably.

The Flower Witch asked softly: "Ahem, I didn't talk in my sleep, did I?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment: "You seemed to talk about something related to your teacher and elegance."

Luckily, my elegant and mysterious image should be intact… The Flower Witch walked towards the door of the cabin.

Chen Qi smiled and said: "Goodbye for now, Flower Witch…"

The Flower Witch was going to search for herbs, and with his current First Order strength, he couldn't help much.

Besides, Chen Qi also had many of his own matters to attend to.

The small houseboat was about to dock, and it was time for them to part ways.

The Flower Witch adjusted her attire and asked softly: "Mr. Chef, how do I find you in the future?"

Considering her need for free meals and his journalist status, among other reasons.

The persistently stubborn Flower Witch decided to get a contact method.

She had to admit, Chen Qi had helped her a lot.

If it wasn't for Chen Qi, she wouldn't have easily gotten the Dragon's Breath Grass or escaped from the trio's grasp.

Chen Qi answered: "At this harbor, I'll be operating the dining boat in the evenings; if I'm not here, you can ask the old man at the newsstand in the Third Civilian District."

"Understood."

She straightened her back, her hands like holding a long court dress, and bowed gracefully:

"Thank you again. Without your help, I might have had to deal with the troublesome Blood Blade Pirate Group."

The noble bowing etiquette for expressing gratitude was unexpectedly standard.

Wait, dealing with the Blood Blade Pirate Group… Chen Qi suddenly thought of something.

He remembered, in the mid-game, the Blood Blade Pirate Group and the Flower Witch knew each other.

They fought against the Black Whale Group together.

Undoubtedly, the Blood Blade Pirate Group didn't know the Flower Witch now.

The Blood Blade Pirate Group and the Flower Witch must have met on Flower Island.

Chen Qi was startled, he seemed to have disrupted the encounter between the Flower Witch and the Blood Blade Pirate Group.

Many things in this world were already moving in a completely unknown direction.

Chen Qi threw down the anchor, docking the small houseboat:

"By the way, Flower Witch, you'd better change your outfit, or you might be targeted by a certain blonde… cutie."

Besides the Black Whale Group, there were also miracle reporters wanting to find the Flower Witch.

"Hmm… see you! May we both be well when we meet again!"

The Flower Witch jumped off the small houseboat, waving goodbye.

After the Flower Witch left, Chen Qi looked at the empty small houseboat and the seven bouncing Deep Sea Water Elves.

A bit quiet… He held a Water Elf, counting the gains from his backpack card.

This voyage yielded considerable gains.

Since setting out to sea, his achievements were quite impressive, even including the complete destruction of the Steamship of the Black Rabbit Gang.

However, this largely depended on sea beasts like the Nearshore Dominator, not his own strength.

In the hunting ground, he also relied on teaming up with the Beasts of the Water.

Chen Qi shook his head.

If this continued, he would become a kept man by sea beasts.

The real key was his own strength.

Chen Qi sat at the table, took out paper and pen, and wrote down a simple plan for what was next.

Firstly, he needed to take care of the White Tree's land, sweeping all the Ghost Fire Fish in the near sea area of Moonstone City, leaving none behind, capturing them all!

At the same time, he planned to place black clams inside, establishing a preliminary sea beast breeding ground.

The Transcendent path was extremely money-consuming, and the income from Ghost Fire Fish and black clams was crucial.

Secondly, he would spend money to purchase Qi Power type skills, sensing, meditation methods, and a series of Skill Cards, practicing to enhance his overall combat power.

Skill Cards were extremely expensive in the black market, requiring a large amount of money.

Thirdly, was the matter of promotion. He now had full attributes, and digesting the Chef occupation was only a matter of time.

It was time to decide on his unique Nature Form and prepare the Occupation Card.

The first two points were not difficult…

Chen Qi focused on the third point.

Advancing to Second Order Transcendent meant he had to determine his unique Nature Form.

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Now, he was not in the game, and couldn't choose his path recklessly.

Popular entertainment modes among players like Floral Appearance-Enchanting Demon Flow, Hammer Phase-Giant Flow, and Cup Phase-Exotic Beast Flow couldn't be chosen.

If he chose casually, his final fate would be becoming ashes in history.

Nature Form represented the direction of the heart.

If the chosen occupation didn't follow his inner choice, in the future, he was likely to step into the path of madness.

In this world filled with elements of destruction, Chen Qi had a strong desire for exploration and a thirst for power.

Only by becoming stronger could he survive and go further.

Only under the light of the lamp could he see the road ahead and view the higher world.

Therefore, he had two ideas.

One was the lamp; the other was the blade.

The lamp symbolized hope, light, exploration, and leadership, while the blade represented glory and power, and conquest.

"Lamp…"

Chen Qi said subconsciously, looking towards the boundless sea.

To his surprise, his inspiration talent was also a lamp talent!

Because of that, his inspiration was different from others.

Chen Qi's heart leaned more towards the lamp. The path of the blade had a very high probability of leading to madness, easily turning him into a lunatic.

One of the six major sections of the New Sun, the Black Blood Empire, was a section filled with lunatics.

To survive in this about-to-be-destroyed world meant he had to keep exploring and discovering the secrets of the world.

But whether it was the blade or the lamp, without joining a Transcendent organization, obtaining Second Order Occupation Cards from these two professions was very difficult.

The Shell Country mastered shells and hammers, and their friendly neighbor, the White Tower Federation, mastered books and lamps.

Although the White Tower Federation mastered the lamp, its backing origin hunter organization, the "Lighthouse," had very limited influence in this world.

Unlike other origin hunter organizations, the "Lighthouse" didn't have a large number of subordinate organizations.

This meant he couldn't join a lamp Transcendent organization, work hard within it, and obtain a Second Order Occupation Card that way.

He could only rely on the Crack Tide.

But lamp cracks were rarer compared to other cracks.

Moreover, not every time you cleared a crack, an Occupation Card would drop.

Targeting a Second Order lamp Occupation Card was harder than he imagined.

Due to their scarcity, these Occupation Cards easily fell into the hands of other Transcendents.

Losing hair… Chen Qi's head hurt a bit.

This meant he had to be the first source of information on lamp cracks.

Information could come from the newspaper office. Read new adventures at mvl

In addition to that, the Hunter Association could provide information; he needed to find an opportunity to apply for a Hunter's Certificate.

Furthermore, to advance to the Second Order, he also needed to do a lot of cooking to quickly upgrade his Chef skills.

Advancing too quickly could lead to malformation.

Coincidentally, his restaurant boat's business hours were from 7 PM to 10 PM every day.

Chen Qi's eyelids drooped, he stopped writing, and put away his chaotic thoughts.

He had been busy for a while and needed some sleep.

Chen Qi closed the cabin door, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and drifted into a dream.

When he woke up, it would be evening, and he would head to his home, White Tree's land, to give the Ghost Fire Fish a surprise.
