Early morning.
As soon as Kana woke up, he felt changes in his body.
He opened his attribute panel.
[Character: Kana Safro Sat]
[Level: 2]
[Status: Normal]
[Blood Volume: 16/16]
[Magic Power: 6/12]
[Constitution: 8]
[Agility: 6]
[Spirit: 6]
[Evaluation: You can already be called a knight.]
Constitution had increased by one point again. Extreme training plus fighting can bring great effects in a short period.
However, it is also related to how poor the original attributes were.
Of course, average people couldn't possibly achieve this.
The level also successfully reached Level Two.
Back then, he was emotionally stirred, triggering the power of the Stone of Creation to datafy, and the datafied blueprint was naturally based on the game he played.
Then, according to reality, the Stone of Creation automatically modified it.
The level in "Stone of Creation" isn't high; in the 1.0 "Blood Calamity" version, the maximum limit was only level 5.
Although having a max level of 5 in the first version of an online game seems strange, it was the first fully virtual game after all.
It's said that this made it appear more realistic and enhanced immersion.
The reward for leveling up each level is 5 attribute points.
In reality, compared to his timid period just after crossing over, he indeed improved by a total of 5 attribute points, successfully reaching Level Two.
Retracting the attribute panel, Kana jumped directly off the bed.
Quickly got ready.
By the time he arrived in the courtyard, the day was bright, but the sun hadn't yet risen.
After breakfast, he took Alyris and Bobo, and, on the way, met Blake as they walked towards the riverbank.
"Where are Rein and Kecha?" Kana asked.
"They went back to the front line and delivered your letter, Your Highness, as well."
Kana nodded, it seemed that the Blood Race should already be organizing the army.
They took a fishing boat across the river and headed straight for the Fishman Village.
Before even reaching the village entrance, they saw the Fishman Prophet already waiting there.
"You brought good news," the Fishman Prophet said in a calm but affirming tone.
"Are you a Fishman Prophet? And you don't seem to be a pure Fishman," Bobo looked at the Fishman Prophet curiously.
The Fishman Prophet looked at her, "White mouse, you are different from those black mice."
"Of course, Bobo is a scholar."
The Fishman Prophet nodded, "I am a hybrid of Fishman and Magic Frog."
After speaking, the Fishman Prophet turned his dull gaze to Kana.
Meanwhile, Bobo stayed in place, pondering this statement.
"Magic Frog and Fishman, how do they hybridize?" she murmured.
The world is truly miraculous.
Kana directly responded, "We've dealt with those mice and completed your task."
"Indeed good news, thank you, human friends, you will now be friends of the Blue Spot Tribe."
After saying that, he started rummaging in the cloth bag carried by the tall Fishman beside him.
"Hmm? Why is it missing?"
He mumbled while rummaging.
"You're not looking for the task reward, are you?" Kana couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the half stone slab."
"Um, you already gave it to me yesterday."
So it wasn't an advance payment yesterday, he just forgot?
"Is-is that so? That's... that's the reward you promised to help us.
Now I have to give you, the reward for helping us," the Fishman Prophet seemed reluctant to admit his poor memory, stubbornly explaining.
He took something from the cloth bag and handed it to Kana.
Kana looked at the item in his hand; it was a bracelet made of shells, pearls, and fish bones.
The texture was rough and very unattractive, like a child's plaything.
No, it wasn't even as good as a child's plaything.
"This represents the friendship of the Fishmen, a proof of friendship. Yes, that's right," the Fishman Prophet ascribed meaning to the ugly bracelet.
Facing everyone's curious looks, the Fishman Prophet stamped his coral staff to change the subject, "Ahem, we've prepared a banquet to welcome friends, would you like to come?"
Kana hurriedly shook his head, "No, no."
At Kana's refusal, the Fishman Prophet appeared visibly disappointed.
Alyris and Bobo also appeared visibly disappointed.
Interaction with Fishmen is simple and direct, without any need for twists and turns.
"I want to know the exact underwater location of the relic," Kana asked.
"No problem, human friend, please follow me," the Fishman Prophet slowly turned around.
You could tell the Fishman Prophet wasn't young anymore.
He walked leisurely.
So, they could only follow slowly behind.
Taking advantage of this moment, Kana infused magic power into the bracelet in his hand for datafication.
[Blue Spot Bracelet]
[Bracelet—Pearl Chain—Ordinary]
[Attributes: Nature, Fragile]
[Special Effect: Friend of the Fish People, Swimming in the Water]
[Friend of the Fish People: When worn by Kana—the Fishmen will not attack (Favorability +)]
[Swimming in the Water: When the wearer is in the water—Agility increases]
[Evaluation: From the Fishman Tribe—the proof of friendship of the Blue Spot.
May our friendship last forever! Want to eat stewed fish, friend?]
Sure enough, the source of special effects is more of a meaning, and this can be basically confirmed.
Although it looks a bit ugly, these two special effects are very useful under specific conditions.
"This is it,"
They had arrived at the riverbank not far from the Fishman Village.
"Dive down here, about five Fishman heights deep, and you'll see an entrance. The stone slab was taken from inside."
Looking at where the Fishman Prophet pointed.
Kana turned to look at everyone.
Alyris, mindful of Kana's reminders, didn't wear armor when coming out, just brought a weapon.
Blake was dressed in Knight Full Body Armor. Obviously, if he had to go underwater, it would take some effort.
Kana directly said, "Blake, you stay on the shore and wait for us, in case anything happens, you'll be prepared."
Blake nodded at this, having no objections.
Then Kana looked at Bobo.
Bobo hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "Bobo won't go underwater; it will wet Bobo's fur, and that would be hard to clean."
That's perfect.
"Then you two stay on the shore and keep watch, Alyris, let's dive down,"
As he spoke, Kana put the bracelet on his wrist.
The two of them and a mouse watched as this happened, their expressions somewhat peculiar.
Kana smiled and said, "This is a proof of friendship."
"Indeed, friends!" the Fishman Prophet was visibly delighted, his tone rising.
Getting ready, Kana jumped directly into the water.
Alyris followed closely.
As soon as he entered the water, Kana felt a sense of being at home, as if he didn't know when he became so good at swimming.
He swam downward.
A few meters wasn't deep, he brushed against the soil by the bank downward and soon saw it.
But the entrance wasn't obvious, various aquatic plants swaying to obscure it.
Alyris gestured, then dived in first, Kana following closely behind.
They swam about six or seven meters in.
"Phew!"
Kana poked his head out of the water.
In front was pitch black, with a damp and musty odor; this was clearly a cavern.
Splashing noises, Alyris climbed ashore like this, in the pitch-blackness.
"Your Highness, hurry up."
"It's too dark, I can't see."
"Dark?" Alyris looked confused.
Kana immediately realized, "You can see, can't you? You don't think it's dark here?"
"Yes, I can see Your Highness, it's just a bit dim," Alyris also realized, looking around. Finding there was no light source, but she could see.
"I can see? Why?"
"It should be from mastering Blood Magic, having Dark Vision, don't be alarmed, it's normal," Kana said, extending a hand for Alyris to pull him out of the water.
