I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 266 - 185: Extraordinary Trait Manifestation (2-in-1)

Chapter 266: Chapter 185: Extraordinary Trait Manifestation (2-in-1)

[You possess the bloodline power of a pure-blooded Giant Dragon. Even though this bloodline isn’t strong, it’s enough to elevate you to the next Tier.]

Rogel frowned upon hearing this.

[What does that mean?]

[Creatures without Extraordinary Bloodlines indeed need to consume Magic Potions to advance because they need to acquire new Extraordinary Bloodlines to merge with their own.]

[But you already possess the Extraordinary Bloodline of a pure-blooded Giant Dragon; the Tier won’t be an obstacle for you.]

[Moreover, even though your bloodline is sparse, it’s extremely pure and perfectly integrated with you.]

[This state... I’ve never seen it in other creatures, otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you kin before.]

[You’re now like a young dragon; as long as your strength is sufficient, your Tier should automatically elevate, unless you’ve reached the growth limit like an old Giant Dragon.]

Uvie Muzhe said.

From its tone, it was not hard to discern its immense curiosity about Rogel’s condition.

Rogel couldn’t help but ponder.

Indeed, the essence of most Extraordinary is to absorb and merge with Extraordinary Bloodlines, and some even embark on self-exploration or seek through Faith.

Although he wasn’t sure to which category the core power of the Intern’s Potion belonged, the Giant Dragon Bloodline within him was genuine.

Logically speaking, already possessing the pure-blooded Giant Dragon’s bloodline and having perfectly merged, he should be advancing rapidly.

However, Rogel remained stagnant like regular Extraordinary beings, which was precisely why Uvie Muzhe was puzzled.

After thinking for a while, Rogel could only attribute it to the game.

Perhaps this body only perfectly fused with the Giant Dragon Bloodline due to the game’s effects.

It might very well be just a facade.

Of course, there might be other reasons as well.

In any case, Rogel certainly couldn’t elevate his Tier as effortlessly as a young Giant Dragon.

[Where does your bloodline come from?]

Uvie Muzhe inquired.

In front of the screen, Rogel contemplated for a moment.

Uvie Muzhe clearly wasn’t a naive and honest Giant Dragon, and Rogel hadn’t reached the level of trust to bare his soul to it.

But he still wanted to obtain some information from Uvie Muzhe.

So he vaguely replied.

[From a Sea Treasure.]

[Sea Treasure?]

Uvie Muzhe pondered for a moment.

[You’re referring to the Extraordinary Trait Manifestation, right.]

These words surprised Rogel.

What on earth is an Extraordinary Trait Manifestation?

Before Rogel could respond, Uvie Muzhe chuckled.

[True, the original term is a bit of a mouthful, so it’s not a problem if you call it that.]

Seeing Rogel looking puzzled, Uvie Muzhe patiently began to explain.

[Sea Treasures... generally are items formed by powerful Extraordinary Creatures due to certain special reasons like death or slumber.]

[Because they originate from powerful Extraordinary Creatures, they possess mysterious and unpredictable functions.]

[Is it like your current state then?]

Rogel asked curiously.

[More or less.]

Uvie Muzhe agreed.

[However, it’s important to note that Sea Treasures are essentially unmanageable Extraordinary Traits. Due to their inherent balance, they carry significant costs alongside their powerful functions.]

[But this Illusory Black Stone was actively formed by me, so I’ve influenced its cost to some extent, and you must pay Spiritual Power to me during its use.]

Hearing this, Rogel understood.

It seems he might have misunderstood Uvie Muzhe; this item has a cost, and if not for Uvie Muzhe’s influence, the cost might be greater.

But...

Speaking of which, Rogel couldn’t help thinking of the Exotic Grape Species.

The Exotic Grape Species... seemingly had no cost?

With such a powerful function of the Giant Dragon Grapes, it surely attests to its magical nature.

This is a genuine Sea Treasure, but could its cost merely be the irritation upon seeing other fruits?

[Do Sea Treasures necessarily have costs?]

Rogel furrowed his brow.

[You’re correct.]

Uvie Muzhe confirmed.

Then, based on Rogel’s reaction and reply, it seemed to have guessed something and chuckled.

[It appears you aren’t completely aware of this.]

[Think about it, how many things exist in the world without any cost?]

Rogel pondered for a moment, then seriously responded while looking at the Illusory Black Stone.

[The Giant Dragon’s might.]

[...]

Uvie Muzhe was momentarily at a loss for words.

Damn, that is indeed true.

In terms of creatures that are mighty by nature, Giant Dragons are certainly among them.

[The world isn’t entirely fair.]

[But you just need to remember that Sea Treasures inevitably have costs.]

Uvie Muzhe diverted the topic and advised.

[If you truly obtained the Giant Dragon Bloodline from a Sea Treasure, then it’s not surprising you’re experiencing this.]

[Nonetheless, you’d better pay attention to the matter of costs.]

[Perhaps it’s already affecting you.]

Costs...

At this, Rogel exhaled.

This is not something he needed to worry about.

The cost of obtaining the Exotic Grape Species was likely the cause-and-effect relationship with Doyle Devis.

At this point, he couldn’t help but find it somewhat troublesome.

Of course, not because of Doyle Devis’s matter.

But because he realized the game’s information isn’t omnipotent.

It couldn’t detail every bit of information exhaustively.

Like the potential cost of the Sea Treasure, for instance.

However, such information about [cost] is so crucial that Rogel felt it should be recorded as more important than the nonsensical explanations.

Could it be that some costs are too abstract to describe, or are there other reasons?

[I understand, thank you for the reminder.]

Rogel set aside his doubts and replied.

Upon hearing Rogel’s response, Uvie Muzhe didn’t express courtesy but instead broached another topic.

[I can’t maintain an alert state for long.]

[This time I woke up just to check your state.]

[Your Tier is too low...]

Uvie Muzhe sighed inwardly.

If Rogel ended up in someone else’s hands due to a lack of strength, it would be troublesome for Uvie Muzhe.

[You previously mentioned that you needed some kind of Magic Potion to advance, right?]

[Tell me your specific needs.]

Initially, Rogel was puzzled by what it said, but he quickly realized Uvie Muzhe’s intention.

This was a Giant Dragon capable of wielding [Illusion and Reality]!

He had already experienced the power of Illusion and Reality.

He’d also tried using this power to alter items in his spare time.

But he wasn’t strong enough yet.

However, what he couldn’t do didn’t mean Uvie Muzhe couldn’t!

Thus, this was basically Uvie Muzhe saying...

Whatever you need, I can create it for you.

With this in mind, Rogel felt a surge of emotion and began to seriously consider the problem.

Given the opportunity to advance, it was best to choose from the three potions he considered before: [Secret Master], [Spellcaster], and [Imitator].

The Secret Master focused on Magic, the Spellcaster emphasized spirit and body, while the Imitator’s information was vague and deeply mysterious.

First, he excluded the Imitator.

Rogel didn’t share the typical novel protagonist’s habit of delving into the unknown—a move that, in the Mysterious World, was almost suicidal.

That left [Secret Master] and [Spellcaster].

Both Apostle Sequences seemed promising to Rogel, but initially, he leaned towards the [Spellcaster].

After all, as the Spellcaster’s spirit-and-body approach aligned with Rogel’s current direction, it probably had subsequent Sequences.

But the situation had changed.

Rogel had gained the Giant Dragon Bloodline; the body itself couldn’t be weak.

Additionally, the appearance of the Enlightenment Prayer gave Rogel the possibility of developing his Sequence.

Thus, the balance between Secret Master and Spellcaster in Rogel’s mind was restored.

This triggered his slight difficulty in decision-making.

’It’s still a bit of a dilemma... Which one should I choose?’
