In Rogel’s sight, a budding blue and white flower appeared delicate and dripping with dew.
The flower wasn’t anything special.
But its position was wrong.
If Rogel remembered correctly, yesterday when Lina was tending the flowers, she specifically left some buds that hadn’t matured aside.
Judging from the surrounding buds, this flower seemed to have bloomed overnight from an immature bud.
Thinking of this, Rogel glanced at Iya beside him.
Seeing Rogel suddenly looking at her, Iya scratched her head, confusion in her eyes.
["Eeyaa eeyaa?"]
No need to think, it could only be Iya’s doing.
Could it be that Big Orange could ripen flowers?
Retracting his gaze, Rogel pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
["Iya, come with me for a moment."]
Rogel waved to her and walked off in a direction.
Although Iya didn’t know what Rogel was saying, she could understand his gestures.
So, she flapped her little wings and followed Rogel.
Arriving at the planting pot of the Exotic Grape Species, Rogel turned to look at Iya, eagerly pointing at the Exotic Grape Species in the soil.
["Can you ripen this?"]
After listening.
Iya looked puzzled.
What are you talking about?
Seeing this, Rogel felt a bit of a headache.
He brought Iya to the side of the previous blue and white flower, pointed to the flower, and then to the Exotic Grape Species.
["Ripen, ripen the seeds!"]
["Eeyaa..."]
Iya shook her head, still not understanding.
["Ripen! Bloom! Grow tall! Mature!"]
["Eeyaa..."]
Still, she didn’t understand.
["Eeyaa eeyaa eeyaa eeyaa!"]
In his hurry, Rogel tried to use the Gardener Elf’s language.
Huh?
Hearing Rogel babbling eeyaa, Iya’s face turned strange, looking at him like a fool.
Birds flying over my head without a bowl I won’t eat?
What was he saying, at least three grammatical errors in one sentence, and a weird accent.
This Master Carpenter must be a fool...
Seeing Iya’s reaction, Rogel’s eye twitched.
But he did not give up.
After a string of gestures and expressions, Iya finally roughly understood what Rogel meant.
Oh... the Master Carpenter wants this seed in the soil to grow quickly.
Iya suddenly realized.
Then she shook her head at Rogel, spread her little hands, looking helpless.
Although the Gardener Elf has the ability to accelerate plant growth, her power hasn’t recovered yet. To use her ability again, she needs to wait a while longer.
But Rogel didn’t know that.
Seeing Iya’s expression, he thought she couldn’t accelerate the growth of the special plant Exotic Grape Species, feeling a bit frustrated.
It seems it can only grow slowly on its own.
...
After sleeping for a night, the Dark Sea Hunter’s size increased again, reaching over a meter.
However, the level did not increase.
After checking the changes of the Dark Sea Hunter, Rogel did not continue exploring the cave.
Instead, he transported the Dark Sea Hunter to the sea near the Gelin and took out some things from the Hunger Pouch.
Then, using the Key, he placed several new large boxes at the cave entrance, distributing some recently acquired items.
Now Rogel had quite a lot of materials, and it was impossible to fit them all in the Item Inventory.
So, the area in front of the cave entrance became Rogel’s storage room after using the Key for teleportation.
After finishing, Rogel went to the deck and activated the True Perspective.
Landing on the big ship, watching the vast ocean with its rolling waves and seagulls in the sky was indeed a pleasing sight.
Rogel brought out a small bench, sat on it, and took out the Threaded Fishing Rod.
Today he didn’t plan to continue exploring the cave.
Firstly, he needed to stay up late, and secondly, because the Gelin was about to reach a large island in the Harmony Sea Area, and he needed to watch the direction at all times.
Besides, exploring the cave for so long had been a bit tiring.
He decided to fish and cook some delicious food to relax a bit.
Later, he’d do some blacksmithing to improve the Blacksmithing Skills experience.
Life was enjoyable.
Rogel cast the fishing hook, lying on the chair he made, with hands behind his head and legs crossed on the railing.
Quietly waiting for a fish to bite.
Actually, Rogel’s actions were a bit outrageous.
After all, the Gelin was still sailing.
Typically, sea fishing requires the ship to stop, or at least it can’t go too fast.
If not, are you waiting for the fish to come eat your moving hook?
However, the Fishing Master’s effect would tell you that fish indeed would eat a moving hook, and would even run a marathon to compete for it...
Plop plop plop...
Another big fish was caught, flopping around non-stop.
Glancing at the nearly full fish bucket, Rogel frowned.
He picked out a few he wanted to eat and dumped the rest back into the sea.
Catching too many to finish eating only results in death, so it’s better to release them.
After putting the bucket in the kitchen, Rogel instructed the Dark Sea Hunter to follow the Gelin and watch the direction.
He himself ran into the forge room.
Lighting up the furnace, Rogel took out the blueprint collection Chad gave him.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to make a knife first.
First, checking the auto forge option.
Upon choosing auto forge, Rogel could still view his actions in first-person True Perspective.
However, at this point, his body would seem to have an invisible force guiding him.
Rogel had full sensory experiences, and could reclaim control at any moment.
["Forging target: Ordinary Iron Blade."]
["Required materials: Raw Iron ×3, Superior Wood ×1."]
["Success probability: 65%."]
["Auto forging in progress..."]
Clang clang clang...
Sizzling...
Rogel watched the auto forging process while keeping an eye on the perspective of the Dark Sea Hunter.
Gradually, Rogel grew intrigued.
The feeling of raw materials gradually forming into something in his hands felt truly amazing.
If this was recorded and posted online, it would definitely be a deceleration zone for netizens.
Estimating it might rival hoof repair or car washing.
Some time later, a game prompt interrupted Rogel’s immersive experience.
["Forging successful, you have obtained Iron Blade ×1."]
["Blacksmithing Skills experience increased."]
Rogel looked at the iron blade in his hand, recalling the auto forging process earlier.
The auto forging process may be dull and mechanical, but it was stable and methodical, with a higher chance of success than manual forging by Rogel.
However, Chad once told Rogel.
When forging, if you suddenly feel inspired or particularly skillful, you might forge weapons or equipment far superior to your usual skill level.
Unusual performance doesn’t need much explanation.
You never know what quality the next sword you forge will be.
Perhaps that’s the charm of the forging craft.
"Alright, let me see the quality of this iron blade."
Rogel held up the iron blade in his hand.
["Iron Blade (nameable)"]
["Type: Weapon"]
["Quality: White"]
["Attack Power: 8"]
["Explanation: An unremarkable iron blade."]
"..."
Rogel scratched his head and put down the iron blade.
Alright, although this knife is quite average, it’s still worth remembering.
