Chapter 63: A Trap Reward?
Chapter 63: A Trap Reward?
While 'fishing' Kentaro looked up in the sky...
"Senior! Someone's watching us! Should I hunt it down?" Kentaro grasped his sword tightly as he stared at the bird with killing intent.
"Don't! It might be someone from the gods' continent! We don't want to upset anyone from there! Just keep your defenses up always! The moment it strikes, we counter-attack!" Madame Soledad instructed as Pedro heard their conversation. He took the Faithpursuer Katana from his Inventory bag and grasped it tightly with his other hand.
"Kid! Don't use your eyes unless I say so! Those 'temporarily hired' crews were too weak to resist your skill! ... and it would be troublesome if they lost consciousness in the middle of an emergency!" Madame Soledad glance to Pedro as if saying 'DON'T YOU DARE!'.
"Uhm!" He nodded in response as he felt scared from her dark aura.
'Dang! When will I be able to resist her control skill!?'
...
Bag! Bag!
sssh!
"That's enough for now!" Minutes later, the ship slowly rose after Madame Soledad made two strong taps with her foot.
"Go Cook so we could eat before we arrive!" Madame Soledad's aura returned normal as they walk towards the CBCR. Pedro, on the other hand, walked towards the entrance to the ship nearest to the rooms.
"Time to cook!" He grinned as he descends in the stairs to the ship.
...
While cooking, Pedro checked the notifications in his interface. He first checked the Legacy enhancement he gained.

"Unknown!" Pedro could only shake his head.
"It can't be helped! Legacy enhancements were meant to be attained at level fifty after all." He decided to set the legacy enhancement aside and checked the next notification in the queue.
[Congratulation on being the first player to gain a Legacy Enhancement! Would you like to announce your name to the world? Yes or No?]
"No!"
[Sever Announcement!]

'Eh... Trap Reward! So... among these two rewards, one is more valuable than the other! This two reward seems the same but... I am certain... one of them is more valuable than the other! Hmm...' He scratched his head as he reminisces his past experiences of 'Trap Rewards'.
He had one experience where the choices were either a "Gold weapon" or a "Silver-rated weapon". Full of glee, He immediately chose the "Gold weapon". Upon getting the weapon, he regretted his choice immediately because the reward was a golden knife which was a 'bronze-rated weapon'.
'He! You won't trick me again! My Legacy Enhancement has a skill that is locked! If I chose the random Legacy Enhancement... I would gain a legacy enhancement skill, no doubt about that... but... it could also be Locked! Hence...'
"I choose the "Generate an 'experience-based' Legacy Enhancement Skill x1"!" He smirked as he awaits the system's response.

"Haha! If this was the trap... I'm fine with it! At least... I didn't get another 'Locked' Legacy Enhancement Skill!" He chuckled as he moved to his 'Earth Communication tab'.

Son! We'll contact you once in a while... It is really busy out here! The company has been busy all day long, thanks to someone! ... While your mom... She is taking care of your 'plan' with our relatives while being your 'guard' in the hospital! Make sure to thank her when you see her!
Oh... I and your mother decided to play the game 'Bearth Online' so we could see you! Besides... We're just tagging along with your 'Secret... Girlfriend'! It's a good opportunity to know our 'future daughter in law'! Haha!
We love you!
...
"Dad! She's is not my GIRLFRIEND! Well... It's not that I don't like her! It's just that... It's not good to assume things up!" Pedro shouted and then blushed as he remembers Sabrina's cute smile.
Plak!
"Ouch! Ouch!" Pedro accidentally pushed the pot and it fell into the ground. The boiling sauce spilled into Pedro's pants that made him jump.
...
Somewhere in a Beach Forest...
Fwoosh!
Wog! Wog! Wog! Boog!
"What's the matter, Kag?" A young girl with green hair and golden bright eyes caressed the giant Eagle's mouth like it was just a dog. The 'Beach Forest' was filled by momentary silence as they speak to each other telepathically.
'What's the matter? You looked anxious!' The girl continued to pet the Eagle.
'Oh, Great Goddess! Forgive my sudden intrusion! I saw something from afar and rushed immediately to report!'
'It was fine! It was fine! So... what did you see?'
'Humans!'
"HUMANS?" The little girl was astounded as one of the trees behind her moved. Its roots were uprooted as it became its two feet. Its branch bent as it became its two arms. And somewhere along the upper half of the trunk was it's eyes and mouth.
"So... We have visitors! When... will these... puny... humans... learn... THEIR LESSON!" The tree angrily uttered and its saliva splattered everywhere as the girl looked at it with a frown.
"Quiet, Tan! Do not forget that I am here!" The girl scolded
"Oh, Great Goddess, Forgive this lowly creature for my foolish acts!" The tree kneeled and bowed in absolute sincerity.
"I'll let you off the hook this time!" The girl shifted back her gaze to the eagle and telepathically communicated with it. 'How long, till they reach us?'
'In approximately four hours, your majesty!'
'Very well! Let them dock! I'll handle with them! It has been a long time since I last played with humans!' The girl grinned as she stopped petting the Eagle.
"Listen! Don't touch the humans! I'll handle them!" She warned the trees that glance to her and nodded in response.
'Keep an eye on them! Report to me if you notice something unusual!' The girl caressed the bird one last time as the Eagle nodded in response and flew towards the ocean.
Wog! Wog! Wog! *Screech!
"I hope these humans will provide me with some entertainment!" She began to skip towards the forest while humming a happy tune.
