We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

An ancient and mysterious wave rolled in from an unexplorable place, washing away Shane's body and soul.

All the fatigue caused by the previous bloody battles dissipated like smoke under the baptism of this secret power.

Instead, there was a surging sense of power, as if all the strength in the body could not be used up.

Even the soul seemed to have undergone a sublimation and became different from before.

Never felt so good!

Shane opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the dim kitchen.

"Is this what a first-level [captain] feels like?"

His heart was filled with excitement, and he looked at the panel expectantly.

At this time, a lot of information washed past like a waterfall.

[You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! 】

【Your personal attributes have increased! 】

[The talent "Captain's Majesty" has been changed! 】

[Description: While keeping the original effect unchanged, add the following effects——]

[Effect 1: The captain's majesty envelopes the entire ship. When you are on the ship, the morale of all crew members will be greatly improved. 】

[The morale gain is manifested in the form of immunity to pain to a certain extent, increased mental resistance, and a small increase in speed and strength. 】

[Effect 2: When you are on the ship, all aspects of the ship's performance will be slightly improved. 】

[The improvement rate shall not exceed 10% of the original attributes. 】

【I am the ship! 】

…

[Unlock talent: Communicate with ship soul! 】

[Quality: precious]

[Description: Effect 1. You can capture the emotions and words of the ship spirit and convey your thoughts to it. 】

[Communication with it is helpful to enhance feelings and improve the efficiency of obtaining ship soul experience. 】

[When the ship soul grows to a certain level, perhaps a mysterious transformation will occur, right? 】

[Effect 2: When necessary, you can summon the protection of the ship spirit, and all attributes will be blessed. The improvement value depends on the attributes of the ship itself. 】

[Note: This effect can be superimposed with "Captain's Majesty" and can only be used once a day. 】

[This is our exciting combo! 】

…

…

"These effects...are all pretty good."

After reading the descriptions of these talents, Xia En gave his own evaluation.

The two new effects added to [Captain's Prestige] look simple and unpretentious, but they are very suitable for the profession of [Captain].

Provides buffs to the crew and ship respectively.

This effect is equivalent to giving a "morale increase" BUFF to all crew members.

For ordinary captains, it is very practical and can increase the combat power of the entire ship to a higher level.

After all, morale is still very important in naval battles of this era.

The reason why many pirates are fierce in combat is because they are not afraid of death, highlighting the word "reckless".

However, due to the small number of Shane's crew, this effect seems a bit useless.

In comparison, its second effect is more useful.

Increasing the attributes of the ship is equivalent to increasing Xia En's attributes.

In addition, its triggering condition can be triggered on the ship, and it can almost be regarded as a permanent buff state.

As for the new talent of [Communication with Ship Soul]...

Xia En was a little surprised.

Just like what is said on the panel, after being able to communicate with the ship soul, it will undoubtedly strengthen the bond between oneself and Xiao Hei and speed up the training.

After the ship soul level is increased, you may be able to unlock some new abilities.

And its other effect is even more powerful.

Summon the ship soul for blessing, and it can also be superimposed with [Captain’s Majesty].

To put it simply, it is to double Xia En's already abnormal attributes!

Double bonus, simple and crude, but easy to use!

Although it can only be used once a day, its effect is worthy of this limitation.

"It feels like an extreme state such as overclocking and overloading. It's normal to have some limitations."

Xia En thought secretly and couldn't help complaining: "It seems that I am going further and further down the road of numerical weirdness."

However, there is nothing wrong with being a numerical monster.

Wouldn't it be nice to just crush them with absolute strength?

Even if you have thousands of secret techniques and countless moves, I just want to ask you, do you have the numerical value to defeat me?

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Xia En first touched the wall of the cabin with his hand, calmed down, and carefully felt the soul contained in it.

Soon, a voice came timidly from a confused consciousness.

【Owner……】

The voice was very childish, like a newborn baby.

It was also the same sound that Xia En heard after taking [Secret Spirit Pearl] before.

"Xiao Hei, it's me!"

Xia En said gently: "From today on, I can hear your heart."

"If you have anything you want to say, you can tell me. Don't hide it in your heart. This is my obligation as a captain!"

【Owner! 】

Xiao Hei's tone was obviously high, showing his joy.

【Owner! Owner! 】

But perhaps because it is too immature, it seems to only say the word "master" and keeps calling it like its mother.

Shane understands this.

The newborn ship soul is like a blank piece of paper. Only when it truly grows up can it truly communicate.

It's like raising a child, you have to do it step by step, don't rush it.

After chatting casually with Xiao Hei for a few more words.

Xia En pushed open the kitchen door and ran into a tall figure in armor.

Not far away, Joey was undressing and leaning against the wall, curled up into a small ball, as if he had fallen asleep.

Seeing this scene, Xia En felt warm in his heart.

Obviously, the two of them have been waiting here since they found out that they entered the [Promotion Ritual].

at this time.

An noticed the movement behind her and turned around quickly.

But seeing Xia En at this time, An couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, and she actually felt a little frightened.

In terms of appearance alone, Xia En is not much different from before.

It's just that the body under the clothes has become stronger and stronger.

What really alarmed An An was the change in his temperament.

Those beautiful eyes are much deeper.

The gaze cast from it seems to come from the unseen deep sea or the vast starry sky, with indescribable darkness and majesty.

It was as if there was a mysterious atmosphere that did not belong to this world, lingering around the captain.

Just looking at him like this, some whispers sounded in An's ears.

"One promotion can lead to such a big transformation..."

An's heart was full of awe: "As expected of the captain!"

He bowed his head respectfully, took out a pen and paper and wrote.

[Sir, congratulations on your successful promotion! 】

Xia En smiled and said: "Good luck."

“Besides, it’s a bit of an unexpected surprise.”

As Xia En opened his mouth, the indescribable and weird temperament in him finally subsided like a tide, which also made An feel a little relieved.

If you have to face the captain in that state all the time, the pressure will not be great.

On the other side, Joey also woke up leisurely and said in surprise: "Mr. Captain, have you been promoted successfully? That's great!"

She was completely unaware of the change in Xia En's temperament. She just felt that Mr. Captain was more powerful than before, so she said with a smile.

"By the way, it took you so long to get promoted. You must be hungry, right? I'll go cook for you right now!"
