The Immortal Player

Chapter 84: ~Transformation 1: Mountain Wolf~

Upon opening the book to the page of his selected skill to mass produce, He stared and watched at the video that played on the top left of the page. After minutes of watching the repetitive video, Pedro closed his eyes as he replays the video in his mind.

"Imagine... Imagine... Imagine how I was able to transform... but this time... as a... wolf... Imagine!" He murmured to himself as he frowned resulting from trying to imagine what he watched the best he could do.

After seconds, he opened his eyes that shined a dim blue light. He grasped the Pen-Knife as his hands started to write on its own. It took him two minutes until his hands stopped 'writing' on its own. At the same time, the paper glows brighter than how it did in the first skill he was able to make.

"This... If my hunch is right... I had successfully crafted this silver-rated skill!"

Pedro took a closer look at the paper despite its slight blinding light.

...

...

"Dang! This system is really brutal. It won't even give me the chance to place a flavor text to my masterpiece!" Pedro chuckled as he placed the skill he made to his inventory bag. His eyes shined of gold the moment his gaze landed into the Nearis Paper.

"With this amount of Nearis Paper... I am rich!" He smirked as he did not dare waste any second, and grabbed another piece of Nearis Paper to start making another copy of the same skill.

...

Somewhere in the ship, Recruit Ome and the other NPC crew with him started a conversation regarding Pedro.

"Why do all of those who became the Captain of this ship is unfathomable?"

"I don't know. All I know is that their goal is to protect and give help to humans! For me, that's enough reason to follow them." Recruit Ome interjected with a serious look.

"Well... That's true. But remember, we are not some kind of supers like they are!"

"That's why we must do all that we can to support them."

"Brother Ome is right. Let Captain and the higher ranks deal with the harder problems. Let's focus on doing what we can. At that point, at least, we can help ease the burdens they carry."

"So that they can save and protect more people!"

"We! So we can save and protect more people!" Recruit Ome corrected with a smile on his face. The other NPC crew look back at him astounded, however, seconds later, they smiled as they shifted their glance back forward.

"Right! WE!" The NPC crew, including Recruit Ome, walked out of the hallway full of energy. Ready to do give all they can, starting with delivering as much Nearis Paper they can bring.

...

After almost an hour...

"Hah! Hah! Hah!" Pedro exhaled heavily as he was about to finish making another skill.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Recruit Ome and his team knocked at the door of Pedro's room. The Papers were already pilled up in the hallway, outside Pedro's room. Hence, recruit Ome can only try knocking again and again at Pedro's door.

"Brother Ome, You think Captain is alright?"

"Relax Brother Crab, It may not look like it but... there is this different vibe from Captain. He may not be as strong as the previous Captain of the ship, but there is, definitely, something different on him."

"You mean the weird talking trees of the legends that are on board in the ship?"

"Uhm..." Ome nodded once and smirked. "That's why... He's, definitely, someone unique and unpredictable!"

Inside the room...

"Tch... Did my luck run dry? After a grueling hour of making skills... I was only able to successfully make three ~Transformation 1: Mountain Wolf~!" Pedro leaned back to the sofa as he sighed of relief.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Oh... I was too focused on making skills, that I wasn't even able to notice them." Pedro wore a wryly smile as he stood from the sofa and started walking towards the door.

Creak!

"Captain!" Ome and the others who seemed exhausted after knocking for sometime jumped in astonishment as the door opened.

"What? Oh..." Pedro also took a step back in astonishment. He wore a grim look as he glances left to right in the hallway. 'Since when we had this many Nearis Paper? No~No~No... I am not even confident that I can use all of these in one month!'

"Captain? Your orders?" Ome gulped as he steeled himself and asked Pedro who was still in a daze.

"Oh... right! Bring as much as you can in my room." Pedro pointed to his room as the NPC crew stretched for a bit, as a sign that they are about to start.

"Right away Captain!" Ome saluted as he glanced at the other recruits as if saying 'Let's get to work guys!'.

The Crew started bringing up the papers inside his room. Pedro stood outside as he checked his player interface.

"6:57 PM, hmm..." Pedro rubbed his chin and frown like someone who was doing a problem-solving. 'If my memory is right, the auction will start at 8:00 PM, GMT + 8. And, based on the announcement, we can auction items but it must be registered thirty minutes before the start of the auction.'

"Hmm... Considering the amount of time I have left, Asking help from Killer Smile and selling these skills might not be a good idea!" Pedro shook his head. Ome and his gang often glance to Pedro who had a grim look since they arrived.

"Ugh... What else can I do? All I can do is hope that the three skills would make me earn at least 3 gold coins. And, combining that with I have, I have an amount of at least 14 gold coins that I can use to buy some stuff in the auction!" Pedro walked back to the kitchen as he was still staring at the auction notification.

"These guys sure work hard might as well give them some snacks before they leave!" Pedro smirked as he brought out some ingredients and started cooking.

'Once, one wise man said... Rewards would drive someone, be it work or be it traits like loyalty. And... Food is one of those so-called "rewards"! In the real world, or this world...' It may look like Pedro was a kind boss outside, but deep inside... he smiled like the devil.
