Chapter 493: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire
Everything went as Gothe expected,
It has been more than two years since he awakened the [Adaptive] expertise. He gradually went from being confused at the beginning, to passive adaptation to active development now, and has gradually become more comfortable in the use of [Adaptive].
This is a typical late-stage specialty.
When first awakened, [Adaptive] does not provide any gain, and even in the first year, its effect is extremely limited.
· In addition, the adaptation speed is relatively slow, and it does not seem to be worthy of the title of super specialty at all.
But now, through [Adaptive], he has obtained six physical evolutions.
With six layers of blessing, the strength of [Adaptive] is not only super strong, but also definitely exceeds the level of first-level expertise.
The substantial increase in the adaptation speed further enhances the applicability of [Adaptive].
The most important thing is that even though this intensity is already considerable, for [Adaptive], everything is just the beginning.
As long as it is developed carefully, how much benefit will [Adaptive] bring to Gaode after a hundred years? What about a thousand years from now?
As soon as I thought about it, I felt that the future was “boundless”.
Perhaps.... Is the strength of [Adaptive] still higher than that of super expertise?
While enduring the mental sting caused by the blue flames, Gothe's thoughts were wandering.
In his perception, the severe pain caused by the blue flames had begun to gradually ease.
It had been like this for half an hour, and the severe pain in his soul had completely disappeared.
But this does not mean that his mental damage has been completely recovered.
Even physical injuries cannot heal themselves in just half an hour, let alone mental injuries.
I am too anxious to eat hot tofu.
Gaode is not ready to “fly into the flame” again until the mental damage is completely recovered.
Otherwise, it would be very bad if you cause damage to your own roots because of your eagerness for success.
The soul is no better than the body and is an absolute forbidden area.
Under normal circumstances, the human body does not have the ability of the soul to heal itself. That is, once the soul is damaged, it will be permanently damaged.
It can also be seen from this that Sarah's third-ring specialty that can restore mental injuries is so strong that it is at least a first-level specialty,
and may even reach the level of a super specialty.
The mental damage caused by the blue flames will take some time to recover, and if you do not directly touch the blue flames and watch the fire from a distance, the tolerance to the blue flames that can be improved is relatively limited.
Gothe no longer fearlessly tested the edge of the blue flame, and simply went home.
He got up early and didn't leave for too long, so when he returned to the Fire Knife, he happened to catch the "morning rush hour".
Everyone is enjoying their breakfast.
With [Magic Berry Technique+], Gao Deda could use gem sweet berries to meet his nutritional and caloric needs, but in the end he still chose to go to a restaurant to eat.
After all, in this kind of place, eating fish at the same table with others is far less noticeable than swallowing berries alone.
Breakfast on the "pirate ship" is as simple as the pirate's creed: grilled fish with charred skin piled on the iron plate; boiled shellfish in the pottery pot, the oyster shells are half open, the clam meat is slightly curled up in the boiling water, and the conch has been cracked open at the tail to reveal the spiral-shaped tender meat.
These are all things that don’t need to be seasoned. You can pop them into your mouth after peeling off the shell, bringing with them the original fishy sweetness of the sea.
As for the staple food, because of the existence of Blue Flame, the land area on the Blue Flame Islands is very precious. It is too expensive to use it as cultivated land, so there is no such thing as staple food.
The only things that can occasionally be seen on the dining table are emergency food plundered from merchant ships: such as pickled cheese and dry peas that can be stored for a long time. Drinking water is all wine.
This is because under normal circumstances, the drinking water on board ships easily deteriorates and smells, and soon develops a smell, becomes covered with green algae, and is extremely cost-effective to store.
Furthermore, when you really need drinking water, a [Water Making Technique] can solve the problem. There is no need to store purified water.
But the spell [Wine Making] does not exist, so the drinking water carried by many ships is mainly wine.
Gaud took out a sea bream with charred skin and tender meat from the iron plate. The skin was still stained with burnt sea salt particles, and then he chose a table with space and sat down.
He had just sat down for a while when the security guard wandered in.
He took the food he needed and sat down next to Gothe carelessly. At the same time, he slapped a full wine bag in front of Gothe.
"Want some?" The guard raised his eyebrows and tapped the wine bag with his knuckles,
The bag was made of shark, and it glowed with a dark red luster after being soaked in red seaweed juice.
Gao Dejing glanced at Baozai and then nodded.
The security guard chuckled, took out another wine bag, bit off the cork with his teeth, pointed the mouth of the bag towards his mouth, and suddenly pulled his arms together - the light golden rum suddenly shot into his mouth like a thin arrow, and his Adam's apple began to roll.
After taking a big gulp of wine, Bao Zai let out a satisfied hiss and said, "The people here are not as particular about drinking as you. They don't follow the rules of high wine glasses. Just raise your hand and drink. It saves trouble."
The wine bags of the Blue Flame Islands are generally made of fish or sea animal vesicles, which are soaked and dried with the juice of a kind of red seaweed. They are tough, light and leak-proof. They are then used to hold wine. Not only are they very durable, they also have a huge capacity. One wine bag can hold nearly two liters of wine.
The method of drinking is also very unique, just like what Baozai just demonstrated, it is by squeezing.
It looks simple, but novices often don’t dare to squeeze hard, causing the trajectory of the wine to be shot out of the mouth. As a result, half the bag of wine is poured on the chest, causing others to burst into laughter.
Gao De imitated Bao Zai and opened the wine bag, squeezed hard into his mouth, and drank half of the wine bag in one breath before stopping.
The type of drink is classic rum. The taste is not good, but not bad either.
He said: "It is said that the [Spell Bottle] is probably still sleeping in a corner of the island, so I thought about looking for it, maybe I will find it." He said seriously: "Because I have always been very lucky."
Bao Zai naturally didn’t think that Gothe could find the [Spell Bottle] that so many people have been dreaming about for so many years, but in front of him, he still smiled and asked with great emotional intelligence: "Then you found it?"
"Then I wish you good luck, but remember to stay away from Lan Yan." Baozai said with a smile,
At this time, another big man walked into the restaurant carelessly, with a proud face.
· People who were eating in the restaurant saw the big man coming in and greeted him one after another. Even the security guard called out his name: "Kane, you are back so soon. Have you won the reward mission?"
The big man waved his hand, "Simple, what is Valentine called Night Falcon? It is said to cast spells very fast, but it turns out that it is still not as fast as my magic gun."
Then, he noticed the strange face next to the security guard, "Who is this? The new guy that the boss just brought in?"
"I'm not a newcomer, I was asked by the boss to help."
Hearing what Baozai said, Kane's eyes suddenly changed, with a hint of suspicion in his inspection, "You are so young,
Help?"
Even for a newcomer, Gothe's appearance looked a bit too young.
But this is none of his business.
But if it is to help, it has something to do with him. It should be said that it has something to do with most of the gold coin hunters.
Most of them are people who have a blood feud with Davy Jones and want revenge.
For such an important and dangerous matter, the foreign aid invited by the boss is actually such a young mage?
Is it reliable?
Suspicion is suspicion, but Sarah's prestige is unquestionable. If you doubt the foreign aid invited by Sarah in person, you are doubting Sarah.
So Kane hid his doubts in his heart, took a piece of grilled fish from the iron plate on the side, filled his two wine bags with wine,
With a snap, he sat down opposite Gothe.
"I just came back. It's our first time to meet each other. Let's have a drink?" He pushed a wine bag in front of Gothe.
Gothe picked up the wine bag and uncorked it without saying a word.
In just a moment, he drained the rum from the wine bag, and then let out a long, comfortable breath.
The smell of alcohol mixed with hot air spurted out of his nose, but his eyes were very clear.
Including the half bag of rum handed over by the security guard that he drank earlier, this is almost more than three liters of rum.
Such a huge amount immediately made the other bounty hunters who witnessed everything look in awe.
Although there is no direct relationship between alcohol consumption and strength or one's own ability, they still feel that Gaode suddenly seems much more reliable.
Having had enough wine and food, Gaode returned to the cabin with nothing to do. After thinking about it, he gave himself another [Comfortable Sleep+] and fell into a deep sleep again.
"During the period of comfortable sleep, the natural recovery speed of the subject's injuries will be doubled."
This is the spell effect of [Comfortable Sleep+]. Under normal circumstances, the natural recovery speed of this injury will be doubled only for the physical body.
The reason is as mentioned before, the human body does not have the ability of the soul to heal itself.
That is to say, the initial value of the mental injury recovery speed is 0. Let alone doubling it, if it is doubled a hundred times, it will still be 0.
But things are different now. With the adaptation of [Adaptive], Gaode's mental injury recovery speed has exceeded 0, so he should be able to get the buff of [Comfortable Sleep+].
As soon as the idea came up, Gaode immediately started experimenting.
When I woke up again, it was already noon.
The first thing after waking up is to use the ability of [precise perception] to sense your current state.
【Suffering from the attack of Abaddon's blue flame energy, your spirit is damaged...Your mental injury recovery ability is increased by 3. 2%...】
First of all, in this half-day, the mental injury recovery ability has increased from 1.6% when he first came back to 3.2%.
Another gratifying point is that, just as he thought, the [Comfortable Sleep+] buff has successfully worked, and the mental damage caused by the blue flame has basically been recovered.
With this feeling of joy, Gothe left the ship again and landed on Ash Island.
Because the preparations were made during breakfast, many of the bounty hunters on the Fire Knife knew that "Gothe" was going to try their luck on Gray Island.
They must not be optimistic about Gaode, and they don’t think he can find the [Spell Bottle] at all.
But if you don’t try this kind of thing yourself, you will always be dissatisfied, so they all understand Gothe’s mentality and are no longer curious about Gothe’s behavior of going straight to Ash Island.
After landing on the island, Gothe came to where he was in the morning, facing the burning blue flame, and once again carefully reached out his hand.
But this time, it was no longer a one-touch separation, but a full two or three seconds of contact....
Afterwards, after resting in place for nearly an hour, and waiting for the pain from the depths of his soul to subside, Gothe summoned Boeing and returned to the Fire Knife.
The start date of the All Souls' Day Auction is from the 1st to the 7th of the Dark Moon.
There are still three days left before the auction starts.
During these three days, Gothe repeated his actions calmly:
Landed on Ember Island, faced the blue flames, and then after recovering, returned to the Fire Knife, using [Comfortable Sleep+] to speed up the soul's self-healing.
After the mental damage is almost completely recovered, the above actions will be repeated again, day and night.
Hand in direct contact with the blue flame again and again, Gaode's blue flame energy tolerance is growing rapidly.
14. 5% - 15. 7% - 17. 8% - 20. 1% - 26. 7% -
46.7%....
The level of Abaddon's blue flame energy is too high, even five-ring mages have to avoid it, which shows its strength.
So even though Gaode's blue flame tolerance increases rapidly, the blue flame can still bring him great stimulation and maintain rapid growth. At most, he needs to slightly extend the contact time with the blue flame.
While Blue Flame's energy tolerance is rapidly increasing, his mental injury recovery ability is also improving simultaneously.
The improvement in mental injury recovery ability means that Gaode can return to his peak state faster, and then challenge the blue flames more frequently. The more frequently he challenges the blue flames, the faster the blue flame energy tolerance of Gaode will increase.
In this virtuous cycle, although the adaptation speed of mental injury recovery ability has inevitably slowed down, the improvement speed of blue flame energy tolerance has accelerated a lot contrary to convention.
On the third day, the last day before the Autumn Autumn Auction, Gaode, whose blue flame energy tolerance exceeded 50%, was able to be in contact with the blue flame for more than three minutes without changing his face.
Hence, he stepped into the area covered by blue flames for the first time and tentatively began to search for the [Spell Bottle].
——This was not only the excuse he used to cover up his constant running to Gray Island, but it was also his true thoughts.
An extraordinary strange object that can make even the pirate king's heart flutter. It is impossible for him, a second-level mage, not to be moved by it.
The blue flame that restricts others becomes a "good fire" in his eyes.
If it weren’t for the blue flame, how could this [Spell Bottle] get his turn? Someone had already turned the gray island upside down and found it.
Unsurprisingly, his tentative, small-scale search yielded no gratifying results.
If you want to find [Spell Bottle], you must search all over the place.
Of course, for Gothe, this is just a matter of time.
As long as the [Spell Bottle] is indeed still on Ember Island, it will fall into his hands sooner or later.
But Gaode had to temporarily stop adapting and hunting for treasure.
Because, the real purpose of his trip was that the All Souls Day auction was about to begin.
