Chapter 926: Active Ability (1/2)
”The explanation to each item will appear when you tap it,” the octopus said as it watched Krune follow its advice.
With that, he tapped on the first item, reading its description aloud, ”Passive (Underwater Breathing): Allows the user to breathe underwater freely.”
”Fair enough.” Krune nodded in satisfaction, though it was obvious from the name alone. He then tapped on the second item in the list, reading its description, ”Water Essence: A concentrated essence of the healing substance present in the ocean waters. Consuming one would be able to heal most injuries, even regenerating lost body parts. If one is at death's door, consuming two would be enough to recover to an optimal state.”
”This is great…” Krune then thought about something as he looked at the octopus, soon asking, ”Based on what this is saying, then even if I were to lose a limb or two, as long as I immerse myself in the ocean waters, I'll regrow them?”
”Yes.” The octopus splashed the water as it nodded. ”But that would take a couple of years at the very least since the healing property is too scarce in the water. As for this Water Essence, it takes us about a year to condense one. With that, it's incredibly precious. That's why it's prized as such.”
Krune then asked the octopus regarding the method used to condense it. Unsurprisingly, the octopus went silent, expressing its intention to not tell him. He then sighed in response to the sight before reading out the details of the third item, ”Motor Fish: It's a special type of fish that is artificially bred to ensure it remains loyal to its owner for all its life. Its specialty is its rowing and pulling capacity. It would be caged in a cage of bone and can be either attached to a boat or ridden on directly. It would allow you to travel at great speeds in this ocean layer.”
”Just the thing I need, but…” Krune frowned as he continued, ”It's too expensive.”
It cost 7 Godly Points. For every Godly Point, Krune had to kill a tremendously powerful fish. So, spending that much just to obtain a fish that would help in moving about seemed like a waste of his hard work. Besides, without any set destination in mind, obtaining the Motor Fish seemed useless.
Krune then read the description of the fourth item. ”Bone Arsenal: weapons, armor, and tools required for your survival, all made from the bones of a powerful fish. A boat is also included.”
”Fair enough, but I don't need it.” Thinking that he could just make one, Krune looked at the description of the fifth item as he continued to read it, ”Ticket to Primary Landmass: It will transport the user to an island with a radius of 50 kilometers. The island would be filled with monsters and would be ruled by five Kings. Killing each King would result in a passive ability. There are 10 other monsters. Killing each one would yield a Godly Point. Duration of stay in the Primary Landmass is 1 year. Ripping the ticket during the stay would return the user to the Checkpoint Turtle.”
After seeing it, Krune was interested in visiting it. It was a sure-fire method of obtaining Godly Points and passive abilities. After all, even though he had obtained two of them, those were purely coincidental. He didn't have a guarantee of stumbling upon such opponents again.
After all, the ocean layer was just too vast. After a month afloat, he hadn't ever come across another human. So, if he wished to meet up with his friends or even leave this place, obtaining more abilities and Godly Points was a must.
Besides, there was a clear goal before him. As he could afford it, if Krune didn't choose it, he would be a fool. Intending to first look through all the treasures, Krune didn't buy it immediately, looking at the sixth item.
He read its description, ”Ticket to Secondary Landmass: It will transport the user to an island with a radius of 150 kilometers. The island would be filled with monsters and would be ruled by 15 Kings. Killing each King would result in a passive ability. There are 30 other monsters. Killing each one would yield a Godly Point. Duration of stay in the Secondary Landmass is 1 year. Ripping the ticket during the stay would return the user to the Checkpoint Turtle.”
He then looked at the seventh item as he continued to read it aloud, ”Ticket to Tertiary Landmass: It will transport the user to an island with a radius of 500 kilometers. The island would be filled with monsters and would be ruled by 50 Kings. Killing each King would result in a passive ability. There are 100 other monsters. Killing each one would yield a Godly Point. It is also governed by a Supreme Monster. Killing it would yield an active ability. Duration of stay in the Tertiary Landmass is 1 year. Ripping the ticket during the stay would return the user to the Checkpoint Turtle.”
”An active ability…?” Krune realized his conjecture was right as he looked at the octopus and asked, ”We can obtain active abilities as well?”
”Only from the Tertiary Landmass,” the octopus nodded as it replied. ”Obtaining an active ability will make you feel like a King in this layer. Though, obtaining it is easier said than done. Also…”
It looked at Krune, speaking solemnly as it continued, ”One person can have five passive abilities at most. If you obtain the sixth, you will have to overwrite it on one of your existing passive abilities or choose not to obtain it. That option will appear on your tablet at that time.”
”I see, so five is the limit.” Krune nodded, asking, ”Then, what about the active ability? When I obtain it, do I have to forgo one of my Passives?”
”No.” The octopus shook its head, splashing some of the water due to its size as it replied, ”You can have only one active ability. It is independent of the number of passive abilities you possess.”
”Fair enough.” Krune nodded, not glancing at the Tertiary Landmass Ticket anymore since it cost 50 Godly Points. He didn't have that much on his hand now. Moreover, he wasn't prepared enough. He only planned to head there once he was geared up completely.
