I Have Great Voyage Game

Chapter 8



On Your Left

After finishing work for the day, Roger went to town to buy some fruits and dinner before returning to Old Nielsen’s cabin. Old Nielsen still allowed Roger to sleep in the cabin and handed him a book.

“Keep this,” he said.

Roger took the book and realized it was a book about fish. It seemed that Old Nielsen had already talked to his granddaughter, Lina. Roger also noticed that there was a new small bed in the room. Yesterday, he slept on the floor, but today he had a bed to sleep on. He glanced at Old Nielsen, who appeared to be an ordinary old man with a serious expression on his face. One would never guess that behind his stern appearance, he had a warm heart.

After Roger fell asleep, Old Nielsen quietly watched him for a moment, seemingly contemplating something. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and stared silently at the ceiling…

After finishing the game for the day, Roger went downstairs to have dinner and read the comments on his work.

“Two chapters? Do you know how I read these two chapters?!”

“Oh my god, is this even enough for anyone to read?”

“If other readers see this, they’ll think we’re looking down on them. Let’s release ten chapters each!”

“It’s difficult to release more? Then don’t release at all! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”

“… ” Roger was used to it and gave the comment a like before continuing his meal.

More chapters? 4k is already the limit for humans, okay?

After finishing his meal, Roger took a shower and answered a friend’s phone call before peacefully falling asleep.

The game time in the Mysterious Sea followed the rules of a single-player game. The specific length of a day was not fixed because time seemed to slow down when Roger controlled his character to have conversations. However, Roger’s free time in a day should be enough to spend two days in the Mysterious Sea.

The next day, after finishing writing, Roger unusually went for a morning run. He wanted to see how much his physical fitness had been enhanced by the game.

“Ten kilometers,” Roger glanced at the distance on his phone. He had run the entire ten kilometers without stopping, and he wasn’t even sweating much. It’s worth mentioning that humans are naturally endurance-based creatures. But even for those who regularly engage in long-distance running, it would be impossible to finish ten kilometers with such ease.

…Wow, I’ve become Captain America.

It’s worth mentioning that Roger encountered a black-haired, slender girl during his run. From her graceful and alluring curves, she seemed to be a beautiful woman. It was evident from her movements and stride that she was a regular runner.

Roger’s eyes lit up, and a bold idea popped into his mind. With that in mind, he increased his speed and quickly caught up.

“Hey!”

“On your left.”

Then, he whooshed past the girl.

“Hmm?”

(ω)?

The girl with short hair looked at the rapidly retreating figure in front of her, her face filled with question marks. Then, she quickly realized.

Oh my god, he dared to overtake me!

This is the first time someone has overtaken me!

And he did it from the side!

And he overtook me so swiftly!

Well, kid, you better wait for me!

I accept your challenge!

With a furrowed brow, the girl with short hair accelerated and followed closely behind.

After a while.

“Huff… Huff…”

After a while, she leaned on her knees, panting heavily, despairingly watching the figure in front of her getting farther and farther away…

Why can he endure like this?

“Hey! Wait!”

The girl with short hair spoke up, wanting to ask Roger for his contact information and inquire about his experience.

Roger’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the voice.

Uh-oh, is she looking for trouble?

I’m being too paranoid.

It seems I can’t just go around showing off my superpowers on the street.

With that thought, Roger increased his speed once again, quickly leaving the girl with short hair behind.

“…”

(0_0:)

The girl with short hair looked at the figure that didn’t even turn around, her mouth twitching.

Once he arrived there, Roger probably had a better understanding of his physical fitness, so he ran back home.

“By the way, now that I’ve gained supernatural powers, will I encounter other supernatural powers in the real world?”

“Will someone come looking for me later?”

“It seems many novels in this genre are like that…”

“Did I get written into a book?”

On the way, Roger couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander, and in the end, he chuckled at his own ideas.

It would be great if I really got written into a book, especially as the protagonist of a satisfying power fantasy from start to finish.

Oh, and a few beautiful heroines wouldn’t hurt, I don’t mind having more.

But imagination is just imagination, and reality is reality.

On his way, Roger didn’t encounter any supernatural powers, not even an old lady who needed help crossing the street.

Back home.

Roger laid back on the bed, humming a little tune, and picked up his phone to start another day of sailing.

“Meow~”

After giving the cat a scratch behind the ears, Roger set sail with his little boat once again.

As usual, he allocated the time for learning skills in the game to the afternoon.

Sea Serpent Island was now Roger’s temporary base. He would go fishing in the morning to earn money and then head to Felix’s place to learn skills in the afternoon.

However, today Roger encountered a little trouble.

[You accidentally caught a sea serpent while fishing, and it fell onto your boat.]

[Auto battle/Manual battle]

“You little venomous creature, how dare you be so arrogant! Watch me defeat you!”

Roger snorted coldly and decisively chose manual battle.

In the next moment, the scenery before Roger’s eyes changed, and he found himself in the small boat on the sea.

An intense battle was about to begin.

[You were bitten by the sea serpent.]

[You are now poisoned, losing 10 health points per minute for a duration of 600 seconds.]

“Ouch!”

Roger winced in pain, quickly pulling the sea serpent off his leg, and then took out his dagger to chop off its head.

Roger felt a bit frustrated as he switched back to his perspective. He, a transcendent being, was actually bitten by a regular sea serpent. How embarrassing.

Roger’s current health points had reached 800, so the poisoning effect from the sea serpent wasn’t fatal. However, it seemed that the poisoning had other negative effects. The game interface started to shake slightly and become blurry, indicating that the character was experiencing dizziness.

After some thought, Roger decided not to go back to town to find a doctor. It would cost money and take time to sail back. Besides, he just needed to wait for about ten minutes for the poison to wear off.

However, the dizziness caused by the poisoning was quite annoying. It made it difficult for Roger to control his character, as everything was swaying back and forth.

Curse that snake! Wait, I shouldn’t have killed that sea serpent earlier. I should have used it as a minion and let it work for me.

Thinking about this, Roger felt a bit frustrated.

A few minutes later, Roger arrived at the rocky island from yesterday. However, it seemed that due to the high tide last night, he discovered some new things on the rocky island.

[You found a Hardshell Crab x1.]
[You found a Red Striped Octopus x1.]
[You found Seaweed x3.]
[You found a Gold Coin x1.]
[…]

Roger’s eyes lit up. Today was his lucky day. He even found a buried gold coin in the sand. It was like picking up ten thousand dollars for free.
