“An ocean explorer, what is that?”
Lin Xuan stood in the administrative office hall. At this moment, the hall was filled with people coming and going. There were much part-time administrative staff who had returned from their work and were working overtime.
“As the name implies, it is to explore the sea. Its main responsibility is to draw a map of the sea and search for resources, including but not limited to devil fruit, all kinds of dungeon native fruits, freshwater resources, sea animals, dungeon native humans, and metal mines. As long as there is value, it can be converted into individual contribution points!”
A young lady at the counter answered Lin Xuan’s question with a smile.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment. It was true that the Red Earth continent was very big, but because of the monsoon from the past few years, it was now barren. Without soil, it would be very difficult to grow crops, moreover, the creatures that used to live on the Red Earth continent were basically extinct. If he wanted to obtain new people and new resources, he could only continue to explore the outside world.
The problem is transportation.
Was it by boat?
Wooden boats, iron boats, or stone boats?
Lin Xuan’s face was filled with doubt, but the lady at the counter was not flustered at all. She took out a shell. “This is a shell found in a place on the Red Earth continent. It has incredible abilities. As long as you blow at the shell, it can give off a large driving force. We call it the impact shell!”
How could it be found on the Red Earth continent? However, using this thing seemed to be able to create a small boat for people to sail in, and sounded much more convenient.
“Do you have a finished product? Let me take a look!”
“Of course, this way please.”
The young lady brought Lin Xuan into the exhibition hall at the side. There were already quite a number of people watching the skateboarding performance of a boy in the middle of the pool.
Wakeboarding?
It did seem pretty cool. All it needed was a small piece of thin red rock and a few impact shells. A simple water skateboard would be done. Impact shells could provide the power to move the skateboard forward, moreover, with a few impact shells acting at the same time, the speed of travel looked impressive.
It was no wonder that the ocean explorer was introduced. It turned out that they had solved the problem of maritime traffic. Although there were still many other problems, it could only be said that time was not on our side. The longer the natural disaster raged on, the fewer native humans would survive the instance dungeon outside, it might be completely gone by the time they perfect everything.
If the ultimate goal of the evil void soul world dungeon was to protect the native humans and explore other worlds, the ultimate goal of the endless sea king world dungeon was to create a human civilization that could adapt to the current environment and lead them to defeat sea kings and return humans to the top of the world!
After watching the performance for a while, Lin Xuan became interested as he asked the lady to sign him up. Besides transportation, the other major problem in the endless sea king world dungeon was directions!
Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up as he had not imagined that Taixia Country had discovered the eternal pointer!
In this way, the factors of exploring outside the world were almost eliminated. Even if there was any accidents, as long as they knew where they were and in which direction they should go, they could swim back even if it was pitch black!
“I found this in the ruins. It took me less than half a year for the researchers in Taixia Country to know the function and the essence of this thing. It could be mass-produced now.”
The young lady replied with a proud look.
“That’s enough. I basically have no more questions. Could you help me register as an ocean explorer?”
“I’m sorry, I have to check your qualifications first. As you know, the current situation has to satisfy the living needs of the residents of the underground city. Additionally, this profession can only be a part-time job… your net gain of the registered hunter today is… 10 tons?!”
She looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief and then continued to confirm other situations, “Unit eighteen, Captain Li Yunqiang and Ran Changan are seriously injured. In addition, due to the ample harvest, the organization has agreed to unit eighteen’s three-day holiday. The holiday will start today!”
Soon, the young lady raised her head and smiled sweetly, “Lin Xuan, you are definitely qualified to be a part-time ocean explorer. The date of your part-time job has been approved. From tomorrow onwards, please return three days later! Now, please follow me to collect the corresponding exploration equipment!”
There were not many people at a newly formed ocean explorer office. Firstly, there were fewer hunters who met the requirements. Secondly, not many people knew about the new combat classes.
After throwing a glance at Lin Xuan, an old guard entered the room and took out a full set of exploration equipment, a surfboard, a special diving suit, an eternal pointer, a sharp stone spear, a waterproof sheepskin scroll that was exclusive for drawing maps underwater, and many more.
“Before you go out to sea, you can practice your surfing skills. Don’t lose the surfboard. The impact shell on the surfboard has not been totally configured yet. If you lose one, you will have to pay the fee.”
“I got it.”
Lin Xuan nodded. The Production fee here didn’t mean that Taixia Country couldn’t make it; it just couldn’t be mass-produced in this instance dungeon with the current conditions they were in.
Besides equipment, there were some emergency courses that he had to learn like surfing skills, eternal pointer observation skills, nautical chart drawing skills, simple herbal identification skills, and so on.
They were not particularly specialized in it. Nautical chart drawing only taught them how to accurately record positions. As for ocean currents and wind direction, these were not things that explorers needed to master right now. Of course, they had to learn them practically in the future.
With Lin Xuan’s level of control over his body, surfing on a skateboard was simply too easy. Even if he did not use the impact shell, he could easily drift on the surface of the sea. Not to mention, the feeling of surfing felt soothing to him.
After using an entire night to learn these little things, Lin Xuan prepared to go out to sea the next day to explore. The main reason was to see how the world was doing!
Early the next morning, Fu Ziyu, Li Yunqiang, and the other two came over to send Lin Xuan off, “It’s obvious that you’re more capable than you look. On the sea, remember to be careful and come back alive. If you can’t come back because of a series of special circumstances, don’t be anxious. We can still think of a way to get to you.”
Lin Xuan smiled. “Understood! I’m more afraid of death than anyone else. See you all in three days!”
With that, he quickly headed towards the sea under the powerful impact of the impact shell!
