"God-Rank..."
"God-Rank!!! It's really God-Rank!"
Lu Chen woke up abruptly, an indescribable ecstasy surging in his heart.
He hurriedly opened Little Gu Ji's detailed panel.
【Pet Name: North Sea Kraken (God-Rank) (Master - Lu Chen)】
【Level: 1 (0/10000) (Infant stage, no direct combat ability for now)】
【Strength: ?】
【Agility: ?】
【Constitution: ?】
【Perception: ?】
【Talent: Abyssal Grasp (SSS-Rank) - North Sea Kraken infants can grasp all things in the world to feed back to the parent body or its Master. After reaching adulthood, this talent will evolve into Lord of the Abyss】
【Skill 1: Not yet Awakened】
【Skill 2: Not yet Awakened...】
【Overall Combat Power Evaluation: Cannot evaluate. (Although North Sea Kraken infants have no direct combat ability, their help to the host is worth more than a thousand armies. Those who use it will know.)】
"Little Gu Ji, you're amazing!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but lift Gu Ji high up.
As expected of a God-Rank, its inherent talent is actually SSS-Rank!
You know, even in the Tianyu Encyclopedia, the highest level of talent currently recorded is only S-Rank.
Obviously, heaven's oracle believes that SSS-Rank talents are currently beyond their reach.
"Gu Ji Gu Ji~"
Little Gu Ji also happily swayed its tentacles.
"Hmm... I need to give you a name. Your body is round and soft and squishy, just like a Little dumpling, how about calling you Little dumpling!"
Lu Chen grinned, showing his teeth.
"Gu Ji!"
Little dumpling also copied Lu Chen's grin in a similar fashion, looking absolutely adorable.
"But, Little dumpling, what are the specific effects of your talent? The description is vague..."
Lu Chen stroked his chin, deep in thought for a moment.
"Grasping all things in the world, it sounds quite powerful, but I'll have to try it to know exactly how to use it."
He planned to find something later to let Little dumpling try its new skill.
At this moment, Lu Chen remembered the others.
He wondered how they were doing. He opened the chat channel, which was already buzzing with activity.
"Haha, I Awakened D-Rank Ice Manipulation! Now I can make the surrounding seawater freeze with a wave of my hand, it's so cool!"
"I'm okay too, E-Rank Strength Enhancement. I feel like I could kill a cow with one punch now."
"Hehehe, what I Awakened is E-Rank Clairvoyance. Those beautiful ladies have really nice figures, I can't take it, I can't take it, I'm getting a nosebleed..."
"Upstairs, you Awakened a talent just to do this?"
Of course, where there is joy, there is also sorrow.
"Wuwu, why are all your talents so practical, but I Awakened F-Rank Enhanced Smell? What's the use of this!"
"Upstairs, at least your talent can be useful in certain situations. What about me? F-Rank Enhanced Touch! Can anyone tell me what this talent can do? Am I supposed to wait until it's dark to grope around in the dark?"
"I want to cry too, what I Awakened is F-Rank Enhanced Vision, and the result is just curing my nearsightedness..."
Although everyone's talents were different, at least they all gained something.
Lu Chen sifted through the messages, looking for content he was interested in.
"I remember heaven's oracle said that ships can also Awaken talents. Why isn't anyone mentioning this?"
Lu Chen pondered inwardly.
In his opinion, strengthening the ship might be more important than personal talents.
After all, they were currently on the sea, and a powerful warship was the foundation for their survival.
So, Lu Chen sent a message in the chat channel: "Has anyone's ship Awakened a talent? I want to see."
This message immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"That's right, we've been busy talking about our own talents. Has anyone's ship Awakened a talent?"
"Now that you mention it, I'm curious too. Can ships also Awaken talents? What would they be like?"
"Whose ship has Awakened a talent? Come out and let us see!"
At this moment, a profile picture belonging to Zhou Xiang flickered.
"Everyone, my ship has Awakened a talent,"
Saying this, Zhou Xiang directly posted his ship's attributes in the chat channel.
【Newbie Wooden Ship (Special Ship) (Captain - Zhou Xiang)】
【Level: Primary】
【Crew: 1/4】
【Durability: 100】
【Speed: Low (Paddling)】
【Defense: None】
【Talent: Ecological Symbiosis (D-Rank) - The ship can establish a symbiotic relationship with surrounding marine life, attracting marine creatures to assist in navigation, such as dolphins for guidance and birds for warning.】
"Wow, it's a special ship that has Awakened a talent! And a D-Rank talent!"
"Doesn't this talent allow the Captain to indirectly control marine life? That's awesome!"
"Great Master Zhou Xiang, please let me cling to your leg! Are you still short of crew members on your ship?"
【Announcement: The Talent Awakening ceremony in Newbie Sea Area 1000 has been completed】
【Special ships that Awakened D-Rank talent - 3】
【Special ships that Awakened C-Rank talent - 1】
【Evolutionists who Awakened F-Rank talent - 749】
【Evolutionists who Awakened E-Rank talent - 207】
【Evolutionists who Awakened D-Rank talent - 41】
【Evolutionists who Awakened C-Rank talent - 2】
【Evolutionists who failed to Awaken - 1】
As expected, Awakening high-level talents is extremely difficult.
Among the 1000 people in the entire Newbie Sea Area, only two successfully Awakened C-Rank talent.
However, what surprised Lu Chen was that,
there were only 4 special ships that Awakened talents.
You know, there were a total of 43 people who Awakened talents of D-Rank or above.
In comparison, one can see the preciousness of special ships with skills.
Immediately after, heaven's oracle's voice sounded again.
【Announcement: All Evolutionists have undergone their respective transformations. The ocean survival game has officially begun!】
【Game Content: All Evolutionists must sail out of the Newbie Sea Area within ten days. The first person to successfully sail out will receive generous rewards. After ten days, the Newbie Sea Area will be filled with poisonous gas, and Evolutionists who have not sailed out will be poisoned to death.】
【Friendly Reminder: Outside the Newbie Sea Area, fierce winds and huge waves rage. Only by upgrading the Newbie Wooden Ship to a Single-masted sailing ships can you safely pass through.】
heaven's oracle's emotionless voice instantly chilled everyone's hearts, which had just been warmed by Awakening their talents.
"Wh... what does that mean? Does that mean if I stay here for ten days, I'll die?"
"Probably... yes..."
"I'm close to the edge of the protective shield. I saw with my own eyes that there are sharks swimming everywhere outside. If we go out, we'll definitely be torn to shreds by them!"
"This damned heaven's oracle, telling us to go out and collect resources, should at least give us a decent weapon for self-defense!"
As if hearing the people's complaints, heaven's oracle's voice sounded again.
【Now randomly distributing weapons...】
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a spatial flicker, a sailor's cutlass glinting with cold light appeared in front of Lu Chen.
【Sailor's Cutlass (No Grade): A roughly made cutlass, the most commonly used weapon by sailors at sea】
Looking at the cutlass in front of him, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
With this, he could try Little dumpling's talent.
"Little dumpling, activate Abyssal Grasp!"
"Gu Ji~"
Little dumpling obediently responded, and its two pink tentacles slowly extended, wrapping around the sailor's cutlass.
Immediately after, a shocking scene occurred!
The sailor's cutlass seemed to be corroded by some mysterious force, rapidly decaying at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pile of scrap metal.
"Gu Ji Gu Ji~"
Little dumpling's other tentacle excitedly wrapped around Lu Chen's hand, as if transmitting some kind of energy.
【Ding! Received feedback from North Sea Kraken's talent, your Constitution increased by 2 points】
"Holy crap, this works too!"
Lu Chen clearly felt the surging vitality within him and a significant improvement in his physical condition, leaving him utterly shocked.
At this moment, he realized the terror of a God-Rank pet.
Little dumpling could actually absorb and convert the energy from various substances to strengthen Lu Chen!
"Wait, if Little dumpling can absorb beneficial substances, can it also get rid of harmful substances or impurities?"
A flash of inspiration struck Lu Chen's mind, and he suddenly thought of a bold experiment.
He looked at the small wooden boat beneath him.
【Newbie Wooden Ship (Captain - Lu Chen)】
【Level: Primary】
【Crew: 1/4】
【Durability: 100】
【Speed: Low (Paddling)】
【Defense: None】
"Little dumpling, try to see if you can absorb all the impurities and decay from this wooden boat and see what happens."
Lu Chen's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he gave the command to Little dumpling.
"Gu Ji Gu Ji~"
Little dumpling happily responded, then extended a tentacle and gently placed it on the boat's plank.
The scene that followed left Lu Chen dumbfounded.
The originally rough and dilapidated small wooden boat, under the touch of Little dumpling's tentacle, actually became smooth and tough at a visible speed, as if it had been reforged.
【Abyssal Grasp successful! Impurities and decay in the Newbie Wooden Boat have been completely removed, upgrading it to a Reinforced Newbie Wooden Boat!】
【Reinforced Newbie Wooden Ship (Captain - Lu Chen)】
【Level: Primary】
【Crew: 1/4】
【Durability: 150】
【Speed: Low (Paddling)】
【Defense: Low (Light Armor)】
