Chapter 745 - A Theory About the Sea

Chapter 745: A Theory About the Sea

Chen Qi contacted the Warrior’s Department right away. Sure enough, the Stick Nation had already made a move. Teams began appearing frequently in that area of sea and there were even masters present. The gate was surrounded and they began building a fortress.

Such skill was beyond Ye Lingchen’s capabilities.

The ocean was different from land, and the difficulty of deploying one’s defense was on completely different levels. The investment was more than several times higher, because after all, human beings were terrestrial creatures and it was completely unrealistic to build a building on the ocean.

In Chen Qi’s original words, “Hehe, the people of Stick Nation are too naïve. How could they possibly build a defensive system in the ocean? This is the first of Hell’s Gates to appear in the ocean!”

Regarding Ye Lingchen’s proposal, Chen Qi gave no specific reply and only said that he would try his best. He immediately went back to arrange the necessary matters.

Whatever the answer, Ye Lingchen would never give up Miracle Island. It was no longer a question of money, and after Chen Qi left, he directly asked the construction team to hurry up.

As for Ye Lingchen, he looked at the boundless sea for a long time with an indescribable look in his eyes.

There was a possibility that Chen Qi, Ye Lingchen, the Warrior’s Department, and even the entire world was deliberately avoiding.

That was the likelihood for a permanent Hell’s Gate to appear in the ocean!

As far as the current discovery was concerned, there must have been records of Hell’s Gates appearing in the ocean. For example, a certain marine creature might mutate into a sea monster and cause a great sensation, but such a gate was only temporary. What about a permanent one?

That question was terrifying to answer!

At that point, the appearance of that gate in the ocean has undoubtedly brought that issue to the forefront.

One must be cognizant of the fact that land masses formed only a small part of Earth. Most of Earth’s surface area was covered by seas. If there were that many Hell’s Gates on land, the possibility of it appearing in the ocean was entirely likely!

However, it was impossible for humans to explore every corner of the ocean. In light of that, could a certain gate appear in the ocean without the knowledge of humans?

If that were the case, could it be possible that the gates had appeared very early on already? Could some part of the ocean have been occupied by the Void Realm, and was simply waiting for a command to destroy earth?

It was dreadful to think about!

Ye Lingchen began palpitating slightly.

He could only pray that the Void Realm’s creatures were afraid of water and therefore could not come in contact with the ocean.

“Old tortoise, please rest well. I’ll definitely cure you,” Ye Lingchen patted Old Tortoise, who responded by rubbing Ye Lingchen’s body before submerging underwater.

” Little Green, Little Gray, and Little White! You’ll all be shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting Miracle Island in the future. We’ll double your training intensity! You must practice the posture and breathing method I taught you. Do you understand?” Ye Lingchen said solemnly.

On that occasion, they nodded solemnly instead of complaining. Old Tortoise’s injury had a clear and massive impact on them terribly.

Later, Ye Lingchen returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He entered the system interface!

The only way to improve his strength in a short period of time was to rely on the lucky draw. The system was his biggest ace, and the reason for Ye Lingchen’s confidence.

At that point, the popularity value in the system had exceeded 26 million!

Ye Lingchen’s eyes then landed on the knowledge interface, specifically that of basic knowledge!

With such a large number of books sent by the Warrior’s Department, many of Ye Lingchen’s skills have reached 100%. His Chinese Medicine, Technology, Physics, Camouflage, etc. had also reached 100%.

Ye Lingchen’s fixed his gaze on Chinese Medicine. That skill was extremely important to Ye Lingchen and he might be able to find a way to cure Old Tortoise.

It was time to upgrade that knowledge. With the addition of more knowledge, he would find it much easier to make appropriate decisions in the face of complex situations.

There were already eight advanced knowledges. Parkour (Advanced), Animal Taming (Advanced), Eight Extremities Brute Training (Advanced), Arhat Fist Force (Advanced), Formation (Advanced), Wood Spirit Constitution (Advanced), Transfiguration (Advanced), and Cat Language (Advanced).

As for the intermediate knowledge, there were five: Dog Language (Intermediate), Aura Divination (Intermediate), Dragon-Catcher Hand (Intermediate), Gastronomy (Intermediate), and Cultivation (Intermediate).

Nine items were left in basic knowledge: Refining: Defense (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution (Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula (Basic), Poison Immunity (Basic), Bug Language (Basic), Touch of Death (Basic).

For 100% proficiency knowledge, there was Heart-Crushing Palm, Soaring Wind Kick, Biology, Chemistry, Calligraphy, Drawing, Ball Games, Western Medicine, Deutsche, Russian…

It had been a while since he upgraded his basic level, so it was time to make up for lost time. One draw cost 100,000, so with a popularity value of more than 26 million points, he could upgrade more than two hundred basic knowledge, although all his basic knowledge added together was not nearly as much as that.

In that case… it was time to begin!

He hoped that he would be lucky enough to skip all the language ones, and better yet, get Chinese Medicine at the first go.

‘God bless me and make sure it is not language!’

Ye Lingchen prayed silently, then gulped before proceeding to start!

The yellow glow flicked across many basic knowledge quickly. It was so fast that Ye Lingchen’s heart began beating wildly too, and because there was too much knowledge, Ye Lingchen’s eyes began seeing a blur.

‘Chinese Medicine! Please let it be Chinese medicine!’

Ye Lingchen roared in his heart.

Finally, the speed of the glow slowed down considerably and Ye Lingchen’s eyes gradually focused on it.

Ding!

A soft sound was followed by the glow finally freezing on the top of the Deutsche!

‘F*CK, language again?’

Ye Lingchen’s face was a little stiff. It was not as he expected at all! Why did he have to be so unlucky?

After the light flashed—

Deutsche finally became a new skill: Fish Language.

Fish Language (Basic): Now you can understand fish language.

‘F*CKKKKKKKKKKK!’

‘Was it because I went to sea today and the system deliberately messed with me to give me Fish Language?’

Ye Lingchen’s expression became slightly bitter, but he immediately stopped to think about how that seemingly useless skill could help him.

He might as well make lemonade when life threw him lemons. Whether it was useful or not, it was important that he utilized it to its fullest.

First of all, Miracle Island was an island and there were countless times where he would have to deal with fish. Any change in the ocean was of grave importance to him, and it might even be the case that he could hear it from the fish’s mouth. Secondly, the presence of Hell’s Gates or sea monsters in the ocean was not something he could explore by himself, but since there were endless fish in the ocean, they could possibly help him in that respect.

Moreover, once Fish Language upgraded, he could even communicate with fish and train them. They could then help him to explore the ocean or guard Miracle Island.

From that perspective… Fish Language was quite a practical skill!
