"Eh?!" Pedro's eyes seemed like it was about to pop out from its sockets. His astonishment was so great that it made him staring speechless to the interface for almost a minute.

But the system was not yet finished, as the light started to appear on the sky ahead of them. Pedro's level kept rising. However, after reaching level 30, he was only able to rise two levels only, after a minute. It was clear that the experiences that the birds provide became small compared to the experience Pedro needed after reaching level 30.

'I can ask Killer Smile to move the ship around but... Since I got into level 35, It would need 3 minutes just to reach level 36. And as the level increases, the amount of EXP doubles. Also, this was only possible with the exp multiplier amulet. Else, I would have still been in level 20s.' Pedro thought to himself as the ship finally got out of the area filled with the Flocoloso birds.

"Eh? Why is the ship turning to the right?" Pedro noticed the sudden change in the direction of the ship. He looked back to the Central Bridge and Control Room of the ship, only to notice that Mathew and Talia had also lost their consciousness.

"Oh!" Pedro blinked and his eyes returned to normal. The NPC crew, Mathew, and Talia started to regain their consciousness. They were all dazed to what had happened. However, their worried hearts rejoiced upon seeing the clear sky and their captain standing strong on the deck of the ship.

"What had happened, Brother Mathew?" Talia asked while robbing her head just like how she does when she wakes up in the morning.

"I... I don't know. I can only recall the birds falling from the sky, like rain!" Mathew held his head with one hand, after being able to stop the moving of the ship to the right.

"In any case, we can ask Expert Brother for what had happened. Seeing him standing like that as if nothing had happened, he may know the cause of it." Mathew continued. Talia simply nodded in response.

Back in the deck.

"It seems like you have grown stronger in just minutes," Faunia smirked as the little girl started walking back to the control room door from the deck. "You're current strength increased to 1/16th of that of a god."

"1/16th?"

"Yes, Human. Well... It's a different story when you're on 'that' mode." Faunia referred to the demonic mode of Pedro. However, Faunia didn't know that entering demonic mode had a huge drawback. It had a long cooldown and makes the user into 'sleep mode' for two days after its duration.

Pedro forced a smile in response. Of course, Faunia didn't know about the cooldown and the after effect, and he had no plans of telling it to her.

With the help of the NPC crew, the ship headed back to its track. Since Mathew and Talia were helping in the control and navigation of the ship, other NPC crew, together with the treants who came out from their hidding spot, cleaned the ship.

The corpse of the birds was sent to Pedro to be stored on the inventory bags they got from players, earlier. They were able to collect a mind-blowing amount of approximately 3000 dead birds. While all the blood was sucked by Pedro's Pen~Knife.

The Pen~Knife was shining bright red and releases a heavy and strong magical energy. Pedro became curious hence he checked its data in his interface.

...

"Sigh... The evolution from gold-rated to Legendary-rated is still far despite the blood from thousands of birds. At this rate, I can only keep hoping for Faunia's help incase we encounter gods or someone stronger than me." Pedro shooked his head.

Now that his HP is at 800, he can no longer rely on his undying cycle. Choosing to level up at this point was not a wrong decision. One day, he would need to level up from level 1. The risks were higher if he'd level up at a slow pace, and around people and monster whos levels and strength were far greater than his own.

"Once I returned to the Aquari Continent, clearing dungeons would be with ease. I can solo them or even Speed clear it with Faunia. In any case, It would still take time before other players discover or even be able to clear them."

"As of now, I should focus on gathering Trustworthy and Talented NPCs on the supposed NPC only recruitment event."

Pedro stared at the far distant, where land started to appear. It was a port made with woods, bricks, and a limestone looking material, that emits a weak glow.

"We're almost there, Captain!" An NPC Crew notified as he pointed towards the direction of the port.

"That's... The ship, Felippe!" Pedro saw the ship of the former Kentaro. Seeing that there was a space beside it, Pedro smiled and pointed to that direction. "Dock in that area!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Let's see what kind of organization is BHO?" Pedro placed his hands in his pockets as he stares with excitement towards the port and the buildings behind it. The buildings were made of bricks that ran around the port like a wall.
