I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 43: Let’s See Who Has More Patience
Woo—
The winged shrimp opened its gruesome, fluffy mouthparts, letting out a low growl, charging towards Rogel like a heavy truck.
Seeing this, Rogel remained calm and quickly launched another attack on one of the Winged Shrimp Guards.
This time, however, the Winged Shrimp Guard was prepared, raising its hard pincers to block the attack.
Another winged shrimp seized the opportunity and lunged at Rogel.
In response, Rogel stayed calm, his six tentacles flailing rapidly as he swiftly swam in one direction.
The winged shrimp and the two Winged Shrimp Guards, seeing this, angrily chased after him.
Rogel slipped into the stone barrier ahead without a hitch.
Bam! Bam!
The two Winged Shrimp Guards following closely behind slammed hard into the stone barrier.
They also tried to imitate Rogel by passing through the gaps in the barrier.
However, being twice as large as the Dark Sea Hunter and covered in a hard shell, the Winged Shrimp Guard could only stick its head in, its gruesome mouthparts snapping open and shut.
Without hesitation, Rogel decisively stabbed the Serrated Bone Blade into the Winged Shrimp Guard’s mouth.
[Your Clone Dark Sea Hunter has killed a Winged Shrimp Guard, gaining Combat Experience.]
The other Winged Shrimp Guard, seeing this, quickly retreated, glaring at Rogel.
After killing another Winged Shrimp Guard, Rogel swiftly retreated.
Thud!
A loud crash echoed as the winged shrimp’s heavy body crashed into the barrier.
The entire area shook, and numerous tiny bubbles rose in the surrounding seawater.
But it was futile.
Rogel remained unshaken behind the barrier, completely at ease.
Come on, come on, kill me.
The Dark Sea Hunter’s scarlet eyes fixated on the winged shrimp, provocatively taunting it.
Bam!
The winged shrimp, enraged, pounded the barrier with its huge pincers.
The sturdy barrier did not budge.
The only remaining Winged Shrimp Guard on the side let out a low, intimidating growl.
Rogel remained indifferent, quietly watching their performance.
After a while, Rogel chuckled, patted his behind, and turned to swim away.
The winged shrimp was unwilling, but had no way to retaliate.
The Winged Shrimp Guard, seeing this, could only turn around and prepare to leave.
Yet, just as they were about to head back to the bottom, a ghostly figure reappeared beside the Winged Shrimp Guard.
In an instant, six tentacles entangled it, followed by a Bone Clamp clamping it on the left and a Bone Blade stabbing out from the right.
[Your Clone Dark Sea Hunter has killed a Winged Shrimp Guard, gained Combat Experience, and leveled up.]
[You found Firm Shrimp Pincer Meat ×1.]
[You found Shrimp Line ×1.]
After killing the last Winged Shrimp Guard, not only did the Dark Sea Hunter level up, but two items were also picked up.
Quickly taking the drops, Rogel swam back towards the barrier without looking back.
Because the winged shrimp had already noticed his actions.
Woo—
Seeing the last Winged Shrimp Guard ambushed and killed by Rogel, the winged shrimp was utterly enraged.
Whoosh!
Its shell split with two cracks on its back, and two translucent wings suddenly spread out, revealing the pink tender flesh underneath.
With its wings spread, the winged shrimp’s speed greatly increased, turning from a truck into a fighter jet, rapidly rushing towards Rogel with the water currents.
However, Rogel had already retreated behind the barrier by this time.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The winged shrimp, in a furious rage, violently slammed against the stone barrier, causing the entire passageway to tremble under its terrifying strength.
Meanwhile, Rogel squinted his eyes, thoughtfully observing the tender flesh beneath the winged shrimp’s wings.
No wonder it hadn’t spread its wings immediately...
Rogel retreated further, slowly disappearing into the shadows of the passageway.
A while later...
Rogel returned.
Through the cracks in the stone barrier, Rogel cautiously observed the inside.
The three Winged Shrimp Guard carcasses had sunk to the bottom.
The winged shrimp, however, was nowhere in sight.
Rogel immediately became alert.
Though the winged shrimp wasn’t very agile, it was terrifyingly powerful.
It also seemed quite intelligent.
Rogel wouldn’t be foolish enough to go in and collect corpses at this time.
He carefully peeked his head out.
He immediately felt his breath catch and quickly pulled back.
In the next moment, a giant pincer crashed down sharply.
Thud!
Flapping its wings, the winged shrimp approached the stone barrier again, glaring at Rogel, releasing angry cries.
Seeing this, Rogel wiped away some sweat.
"Oh, you little brat! You’ve got patience.
All right then, let’s see who has more patience."
Rogel controlled the Dark Sea Hunter to hide in the shadows.
Then he returned his attention to his body.
Having almost finished his tasks on the ship, Rogel headed straight to the ship’s side, grabbed a small bench, sat down, and pulled out the Threaded Fishing Rod from the Item Inventory.
Plop.
The bobber floated on the sea.
Fishing!
Let’s see who has more patience.
As long as that big shrimp doesn’t eat the three corpses, there’s surely a chance to return and collect them.
Perhaps then, the Dark Sea Hunter might even gather enough energy for another Metamorphosis.
Rogel sat on the small bench, humming a tune, and crossed his legs.
...
[Obtained Item: Black Tiger Fish ×1.]
[Obtained Item: Large Lobster ×1.]
[Fishing Skill Level increased, current level lv7.]
Another lobster!
Rogel raised an eyebrow, took out the large lobster, and gave it two solid slaps before placing it in the bucket beside him.
By this time, the game had transitioned into evening. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
After fishing all afternoon, that winged shrimp was still standing guard!
It seemed truly enraged to the extreme.
However, it hadn’t eaten the three Winged Shrimp Guard carcasses, so Rogel was willing to wait it out.
Glancing at the bucket next to him, Rogel nodded in satisfaction.
Although there wasn’t anything particularly special caught, the haul was still plentiful.
The Threaded Fishing Rod was reliable, at least, significantly enhancing the rarity of the seafood caught.
Rogel put away the fishing rod, picked up the bucket, and walked into the kitchen.
Lina was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen at that time.
Noticing Rogel coming in, Lina looked surprised.
[Weren’t you fishing?]
Rogel lifted the bucket in his hand and gave it a little shake.
[!]
An exclamation mark appeared over Lina’s head.
[Such a big lobster, you’re really lucky.]
Rogel chuckled.
[Let me handle it. Tonight, we’re having a lobster feast!]
[Sure, go ahead.]
Lina smiled, stepping back to make room for Rogel.
Rogel stepped forward, set a big pot of water to boil, and began preparing the large lobster.
Lobsters are quite fresh on their own, so Rogel planned to simply boil it, then serve with dipping sauce.
It wasn’t a difficult Cooking task, and Rogel had cooking experience from preparing meals on his own before.
Before long, a plate of steaming boiled lobster was freshly cooked.
Rogel arranged the other seafood and made a pot of seafood soup.
[Cooking Skill Experience increased, current level lv1.]
After preparing the dipping sauce, he brought it out together.
[Dinner’s ready!]
The night sky was adorned with stars.
On the Gelin at night, a small table was laden with a sumptuous feast.
Rogel and Lina indulged in the delicious food.
Big Orange meowed by their side, eventually begging for a piece of the lobster meat.
