Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 21 Novice Mentor An

She realized I was a spiritual awakener... Chen Qi felt his heart beating faster.

Once an ordinary person embarks on the path of transcendence, they will emanate a special spiritual energy field.

Ultimately, however, he was merely a spiritually awakened individual, not a true superhuman, and the aura he exuded was extremely weak.

In contrast to his weak aura was the other party's spiritual energy aura.

Although the other party was clearly a delicate-looking girl, in his eyes she was like a towering white tiger!

He was completely different from the superhumans he had encountered before, such as Little Raven and Captain Blackeye.

Such a strong spiritual pressure!
Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Sniff, sniff, sniff!
Then, An looked Chen Qi up and down and asked curiously:
Have you awakened spiritually?

"Ah."

Chen Qi nodded.

Ann turned around and asked Mayor Maro,

“Mayor Maro, didn’t you tell me that there are only six spiritual awakeners in the town?”

Moreover, he's about my age, and to have achieved spiritual awakening at that age is quite remarkable.

Is this a compliment...? Chen Qi silently ate a peanut.

The moment the other person saw him, their face seemed to show a faint joy, without any malice.

"There are only six..."

Mayor Maro looked puzzled and glanced at Chen Qi.

Although he was stingy, as the mayor, he knew everyone in town, including all their messes.

Black hair, young, and looked like he had just been caught in a downpour.

Isn't this Qi, who went to work in Moonstone City a few days ago because of illness?

"start!"

Mayor Maro blurted out, looking Chen Qi up and down again.
"You're back. Are you cured?"

His marine mammal disease has been suppressed due to his affinity for the deep sea.

He'd been recognized... Chen Qi read through the original owner's memories, trying to familiarize himself with these people as much as possible:
"No, but it's temporarily under control. However, a significant amount of money is needed to cure the illness..."

“Oh, this is a miracle, a miracle…”

Mayor Maro nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Having returned from a big city, there's no doubt he must have experienced a lot of bad things, so it's best not to press him for details.

Mayor Maro suppressed his doubts, then spoke in a gruff voice:

Have you awakened your spirituality?!

This is a good thing, after all, our archipelago desperately needs courageous superhumans!

After speaking, Mayor Maro immediately introduced Chen Qi to An, a young man with high spiritual intelligence who had contracted a marine mammal disease.

How did I suddenly become the center of attention...? Chen Qi was a little troubled and picked up another handful of peanuts to eat.

"I see."

After listening, An extended her hand and introduced herself to Chen Qi.

"Qi, hello."

I am Ann, the newly appointed mentor in Maro Town, responsible for helping and nurturing all the young people in the area with extraordinary potential.

Beginner mentor...

Upon hearing this word, Chen Qi's mind was suddenly flooded with emotions, and he finally remembered the other person's identity!

A novice mentor, simply put, is a role similar to a priest, village chief, or guide in many games.

This stems from the unique system of the Bei Kingdom Academy.

Every year, the Academy of Bei selects a group of outstanding students and arranges for them to go to remote areas of Bei to serve as mentors for novice students, training young people in those remote areas.

They will assign tasks to ordinary people with potential, reward them with money and extraordinary resources, and even reward them with extraordinary career cards!
At the same time, they are also responsible for maintaining basic order in these remote areas.

For players, the novice mentor is a mentor in the literal sense, and is also the NPC that many new players encounter most often during the early stages of the game.

To date, many professional guides on the forum have come from these beginner mentors.

Players have compiled a leaderboard of newbie mentors for the Witch Sea board by organizing the data.

The man in front of you, An, is a renowned novice mentor!

Chen Qi took another look at the other person.

An, a graduate of the Royal University of Belial, is a mage who wields immense destructive power.

It has two nicknames.

Because of his young age, he became a third-tier superhuman, and his strength progressed at an extremely fast pace, developing even faster than the players!
In addition, she often treated troublesome pirates and nobles who mocked her like dogs.

Therefore, he was nicknamed An Aotian.

Because of her dedication and patience as a mentor for new students, she also has an even more imposing nickname—

Mom!
Of course, Chenqi prefers to use a more common nickname, Teacher An.

Ann brushed her white hair behind her ear and said again,
"Your spiritual energy field is much stronger than that of ordinary people, which proves that you have the talent to become an extraordinary being."

If you want to embark on the path to extraordinary achievements, I can offer you some guidance.

Of course, if you need help.

Ann reached out her hand to him.

The role of a mentor is not merely to cultivate extraordinary individuals.

In a relatively remote place like Maro Town, it can be said that anything related to the extraordinary and mysterious is connected to this extraordinary mentor.

Chen Qi has a fairly good understanding of New Sun's extraordinary career system.

But if he wants to obtain information about the rift, the easiest way is to ask this novice mentor for help.

Chen Qi extended his hand and said:

"I do want to embark on the path of the extraordinary, and I need some guidance."

The crowd was somewhat surprised by what they saw. They hadn't expected that Chen Qi hadn't died and had even become a spiritually awakened person with considerable talent.

At this moment, Ann's father, the tavern owner with a flushed face, said loudly:

"Alright, An, this is your celebration, not the time to talk about work or listen to some old geezer rambling on."

You know, everyone wants to hear about what happened to you in the capital.

As he spoke, the tavern owner glared fiercely at Mayor Maro!
"Now, it's not some self-important big shot making unrealistic demands."

Mayor Maro lowered his head, feeling as if he had shrunk considerably. An gave a wry smile, then said to Chen Qi:
"Let's talk after this celebration is over."

"Ah."

Chen Qi agreed.

After Ann left, Mayor Maro, looking dejected, sighed repeatedly and looked depressed.

Suddenly, Mayor Marlowe's eyes lit up, and he scratched his already thinning head:
"Qi, you're back. It seems you ran into trouble in Moonstone City."

But don't worry, you've come back at just the right time!

"why?"

Chen Qi deliberately feigned a puzzled expression.

According to his speculation, the reason why Ann, as an extraordinary being, came to Maro Town to serve as a mentor was a decision made by the high-ranking officials of the Bei Kingdom.

With the tide approaching the crack, the high-ranking officials in the Bei Kingdom responsible for monitoring the crack's condition must have also noticed the anomaly.

Therefore, they sent out some superhumans in advance to prevent the situation from worsening.

Of course, the Kingdom of Bei probably hasn't fully confirmed the arrival of the rift tide yet.

Once they are confirmed, there will be more and more 'newbie mentors' on these coastal islands.

Mayor Maro stroked his mustache:

"You may not know this, but several new cracks have recently appeared in our Moonstone Islands."

A brand new, unknown rift! Chen Qi immediately pressed for an answer:
"Crack, Mayor Maro, do you know the specifics?"

"I don't know, after all, I'm old, and I'm no longer at an age where I can take risks."

Judging from your mentor's reaction, you have quite a bit of talent.

If you're lucky enough, perhaps in a few weeks you'll become a first-order transcendent, just like my son.

You're about the same age, so you can support each other when the time comes.
After all, you know the rift is too dangerous; one wrong move and you're dead. We're not like those nobles in the city who were given extraordinary professional cards while they were being breastfed..."

Mayor Maro spoke at length.

Even Mayor Maro doesn't know, it seems I can only ask the novice mentor... Chen Qi thought to himself, taking a sip of wine.

Mayor Maro sat down next to Chen Qi and poured himself a glass of wine:

"Sigh... Not every young person can be like An, possessing talent from a young age..."

It's also possible that, like you and my child, someone with talent might unfortunately contract an illness.

I hope that when you return this time, you will soon become an extraordinary person and earn enough money to treat your illness.

If you really need money, you can borrow it from me.

Mayor Maro clinked glasses with Chen Qi, while continuing to talk about his troubles.

On the one hand, he wanted his child to become a strong person as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he was afraid that his child would die tragically in the crack.

After saying that, Mayor Maro wanted to have a few more drinks with Chen Qi, but before he could drink, he collapsed drunk on the front desk.

It collapsed already? That's so lame...

"I haven't had enough to eat yet!" Chen Qi suddenly noticed two newspapers lying where Mayor Maro had collapsed drunk.

In a world without the internet, newspapers are the fastest way for ordinary people to learn about the world.

Chen Qi picked up the newspaper. At the very top of the newspaper were the four large characters 'White Dove Times', and below the headline were the four large golden characters 'Peru Rahn'.

The White Dove Times is a newspaper known for its timeliness; their goal is to report major events in the Witch Sea as soon as possible.

Judging from the date in the bottom left corner, it's a newspaper that was just published yesterday.

"The witch has allegedly appeared and massacred the Black Rabbit Gang. Is this true or false?"

"According to insiders, the Black Whale Pirates have discovered a legendary treasure map during their major operation."

As of yesterday, fifty large ships belonging to the Black Whale Gang have been spotted setting sail.

What kind of treasure could possibly drive the Black Whale Gang so crazy? Stay tuned for the White Dove Newspaper's top reporter, Peilu, to unravel the mystery tomorrow.

The Black Whale Group... Chen Qi pondered.

Now, Captain Blackeye is probably still looking for him.

He was sold to the Black Whale Pirate Crew's Sawshark by human traffickers.

The human trafficking ring that kidnapped him rarely cared where the slaves came from.

In other words, the Sawshark doesn't know his origins yet, and it will take some effort to find him.

Chen Qi closed the newspaper, still needing to remain as vigilant as possible.

The second newspaper was the Witch Times, which was published by the same company as the White Dove Times, but the content was quite different.

The Witch Times aims to depict human love, hate, and passion in an artistic way.

Meanwhile, their editor-in-chief also likes to use her paintbrush to vividly and boldly depict the undulating curves of the protagonists in the news stories.

Simply put, it's melodramatic and borderline.

Chen Qi frowned as he watched and ate.

Two hours of eating and drinking for free flew by...

……

"Whoo~"

Chen Qi patted his full stomach. This meal was probably the most he had eaten since he came into this world.

Before they knew it, many people had become completely drunk and lay on the ground like rag dolls.

Only a few people remain conscious.

thump!
"Aren't you drunk?"

An rolled up his trouser leg and, like a cat, leaped across the muddy ground where Mayor Maro was located, arriving in front of Chen Qi.

Chen Qi said:

"No, I didn't drink much, I just ate a lot."

"I'm not good at drinking either."

She let out a long breath, her bright blue eyes looking at Chen Qi.

"It's finally over. Let's talk. The smell of alcohol in here is too strong. Can we come to my room?"

Regarding your path to extraordinary achievement, I have a pretty good extraordinary career recommendation for you.

"A recommendation for extraordinary professions?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Qi's eyes. He got up and followed the other person.
