After finishing his work for the day, Roy went to town to buy some fruit and dinner before returning to Old Nelson's cabin.
Old Nelson still let Roy go to sleep in the cabin and gave him a book.
[Keep this safe.]
Roy took it and discovered that it was a book about fish.
It seems that old Nelson has already spoke with his granddaughter, Lina.
Furthermore, Roy discovered that there was a new small bed in the room.
Yesterday, Roy slept on a makeshift bed on the floor, but today he has a bed to sleep in.
Roy deliberately switched to a live view to take a look at old Nelson.
Nothing special, just an ordinary old man, but his face was very serious, and he always looked stern.
No one could tell from this little old man's appearance that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
After Roy fell asleep, old Nelson quietly watched him for a moment, as if he were considering something.
After a while, he looked away and stared quietly at the ceiling.

After finishing his game for the day, Roy went downstairs for a meal and browsed the comments on his work.
"Two chapters, do you know how I read those two chapters!"
"Damn, who's going to read this little bit?"
"If the readers next door see this, they'll think we're looking down on you. So, update ten more chapters, ten chapters for each of us!"
"Difficult to update? just stop updating then! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"
"…"
Roy was used to it, gave the comment a like, and continued eating.
Bonus chapter?
4K is already the limit of human capability, okay?
After finishing his meal, Roy took a shower, then answered a phone call from a friend before falling peacefully asleep.
The gameplay time for Mysterious Sea is based entirely on that of a single-player game.
The exact length of a day is not fixed, because time seems to slow down when Roy controls the character to have conversations.
However, one day of free time should be enough for Roy to spend two days in the Mysterious Sea.
The next day.
After finishing his writing, Roy went for a morning run, something he rarely does.
He wanted to see just how much his physical abilities had been enhanced by the game.
"Ten kilometers."
Roy glanced at the mileage on his phone.
He ran these 10 kilometers continuously without stopping, and he hasn't even broken a sweat yet.
It's important to understand that humans are animals known for their endurance.
But even people who regularly run long distances cannot run 10 kilometers as easily as he did.
…Good heavens, I really became a super human!
It's worth mentioning that Roy also encountered a tall, slender woman with short black hair who was also jogging along the way.
Judging from her slender and sexy curves and full, rounded figure, she must be a great beauty inside.
It's easy to tell from her movements and gait that she often goes for morning runs.
Roy's eyes lit up, and a bold idea popped into his head.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and hurried to catch up.
"Hey!"
"On Your Left".
Then, with a whoosh, he swept past the girl.
"Um?"
The short-haired girl stared at the rapidly receding figure, her face full of question marks.
Then she realized what was happening.
"Damn, that guy actually dared to surpass me!
This is the first time someone has surpassed me!
You little brat, just you wait!
I accept your challenge!"
The short-haired girl frowned, then sped up and caught up.
A little while later.
"Huff… huff…"
After a while, she braced herself on her knees, panting heavily, and watched in despair as the figure receded into the distance…
"Why can he last so long?"
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
The short-haired girl asked Roy for his contact information so she could share her thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Roy's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, you can't just randomly perform Superman on the street.
Thinking of this, Roy sped up again, quickly shaking off the short-haired girl.
He didn't want to get a girlfriend this soon, as he only just discovered the supernatural. Getting a girl will only hinder him now.
"…"
(0_0:)
The short-haired girl's lips twitched as she watched the retreating figure disappear without turning back.
After running a lot, Roy had a better understanding of his physical abilities, so he ran home again.
'Now that I've gained supernatural powers, will I encounter other supernatural forces in the real world?'
'Will someone come looking for me for tea later?'
'It seems like many novels in this genre are like this…'
'So, am I written into the book?'
On the way, Roy couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, and in the end, he laughed at his own ideas.
I wish it could actually be written into a book, preferably as the male protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel where he enjoys the story from beginning to end.
By the way, I wouldn't mind having more beautiful leading ladies.
However, imagination is imagination, and reality is reality.
Along the way, Roy encountered no supernatural forces whatsoever, and he didn't even see an old lady who needed help crossing the street.
I'm home.
Roy hummed a little tune contentedly as he lay back down on the bed, picked up his phone, and began another day of his seafaring adventure.
"Meow~"
After petting the cat's head, Roy set sail again with his small boat.
He still spend my afternoons learning skills in the game.
For now, Serpent Island is Roy's temporary base. He goes out to sea to fish and earn money in the morning, and goes to Felix's place to learn skills in the afternoon.
However, Roy encountered a minor setback today.
[You accidentally caught a sea viper, and it landed on your small boat.]
[Auto Battle/Manual Battle]
"You tiny poisonous insect, how dare you be so arrogant! Watch me subdue you!"
Roy snorted and decisively chose to fight manually.
The next moment, the scene before Roy's eyes changed, and he found himself in a small boat at sea.
A fierce battle is about to break out.
You have been bitten by a sea viper.
[You are poisoned, losing 10 health points per minute for 600 seconds.]
"I'll die!"
Roy winced in pain, quickly ripped the sea viper off his leg, and then pulled out a dagger to chop off its head.
Roy switched back to the camera view, somewhat annoyed.
It's truly shameful that a superhuman like himself was bitten by an ordinary sea snake.
Roy's current health has reached 800 points, and the sea viper's poison is not fatal.
However, this state of poisoning seems to have other negative effects as well.
The game interface appeared slightly shaky and blurry, indicating that the game character was experiencing dizziness.
After thinking it over, Roy decided not to go back to town to find a doctor.
First, it costs money, and second, going out to sea takes a lot of time. Anyway, it only takes about ten minutes to get through.
However, the dizziness caused by the poison is still quite annoying, and the swaying left and right greatly affects Roy's operation.
That wretched snake!
No, I shouldn't have killed that sea viper.
It should be used as a clone, made to work for you.
Thinking about this, Roy felt somewhat depressed.
A few minutes later, Roy arrived at the rocky island from yesterday.
However, seemingly due to something like the high tide last night, he discovered something new on the rocky island.
[You found one hard-shell crab.]
[You have found one Red-striped Octopus.]
[You found 3 pieces of seaweed.]
[You found 1 gold coin.]
[…]
Roy's eyes lit up. He was lucky today; there were even a gold coin buried in the sand.
This is no different from getting ten thousand dollar for free.
