Bizarre Voyage: Summoning The Fourth Crisis
Chapter 67: Landlubber FrogmanShortly after the announcement was posted, the players erupted into a heated discussion.
"A Bloodline option? What’s this new thing? I wanna get in the game and see sooooo badly!"
"Case closed, guys. It’s Frogman. The specific Effect is as follows..."
"Huh? No Attribute bonuses? And it locks you into a fixed development path? Seems kinda trashy..."
"The poster above is a dumbass. If you can go underwater, the Frogman Bloodline is more than enough to make up for its shortcomings. We haven’t even finished exploring the coastal waters around Candle Island yet. Who knows what goodies the devs have hidden in there?"
"HAHAHAHAHA! You guys are all here discussing a game that doesn’t exist! Sitting and Forgetting Dao! It’s all Sitting and Forgetting Dao! You can’t fool me! The super-realistic open-world combat game, Spirit Candle—it doesn’t exist!"
"Well, there goes another one."
"..."
Naturally, this also sparked a discussion in Li Miao’s group chat.
Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "Damn, Spirit Candle pulled a huge update while we were offline. @Poems and the Faraway Place, Faraway, what do you think?"
Battle Bliss: "That’s a fine for the bad pun!"
Poems and the Faraway Place: "I’ll log on in a bit to test it."
My hamster’s name is Guagua: "Frogman? Does that mean you can shoot your tongue out to grab people? Like in anime?"
Never Air Force Fisherman: "That’s not the point. The most important thing is that it lets you go underwater!"
My hamster’s name is Guagua: "Huh? Why?"
Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "Because you can go straight into the water and catch fish, right, Brother Yu?"
Battle Bliss: "Bold of you! Who are you dissing?!"
Never Air Force Fisherman: "...Let’s have a friendly spar when we get online (smiley face) @Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam"
Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "No way, Brother Yu! I wasn’t saying you can’t catch any fish! (cold sweat)"
Battle Bliss: "But you just said it, didn’t you?"
Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "..."
...
Meanwhile, Crafty Frog and the other players with the Frogman Bloodline arrived at a slightly elevated stretch of coast, with the churning sea below.
In addition, Shore, Bu Long, and other players who were there for the spectacle quickly followed.
"Are they really going in?"
"Aren’t we Candle Spirits easily dissolved by water? Maybe this Frogman Talent only works near a Spirit Fire Raft? I feel like they’re gonna be goners the moment they go in..."
"Eh, what’s there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is dying once. Our friends who die all the time know it’s nothing to be scared of."
"Can you even call yourself a Candle Spirit Warrior if you haven’t died a few times?"
"Go for it, bro! We’re the Candle Spirits hand-picked by the Candlekeepers, pioneers who light up the darkness! Don’t bring shame to the name!"
"Yeah! Show some spirit!"
The players, who loved nothing more than stirring up trouble, started egging them on.
"Hah!"
As if encouraged, a tall and burly Frogman player felt a surge of adrenaline. With a loud shout, he walked toward the edge of the coast and started warming up.
Seeing this, another Frogman player hurried to follow suit.
"Yeah!"
"Attaboy!"
"That’s the spirit! A real man!"
Witnessing the scene, the crowd gave them a thumbs-up and nodded in approval.
"Oh, come on. It’s not like Tian Wenjing is in the ocean."
Crafty Frog couldn’t help but laugh. He shouted back at the crowd before following the others.
Hearing his comment, the group of players burst into roaring laughter.
Of course, jokes were jokes. No matter what the other players said, they had to get into the sea and test out the Effect of this Frogman Bloodline for themselves.
"Here I go."
After taking a breath, Crafty Frog took a running start of five or six steps and dove headfirst into the sea.
"Alright! Me too!"
The other player, greatly encouraged, immediately followed and leaped in.
Only the first player was still in the middle of his warm-up...
SPLASH! SPLASH!
As two splashes echoed, the players behind them were a bit puzzled.
"Hey, buddy, what are you doing? Jump!"
"Well..." The big, tall player heard them and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I... I don’t actually know how to swim."
The crowd of players collectively facepalmed.
’A landlubber choosing to be a Frogman? Are you kidding me?’
’That’s like a colorblind person trying to get a driver’s license, or a deaf-mute trying to rap, isn’t it?’
"Guys!" Just then, Crafty Frog’s voice came from the sea, exceptionally excited. "You can really swim directly in the ocean! And you can dive!"
Hearing this, the players rushed to the shore and saw Crafty Frog and the other player excitedly swimming around in the sea.
It was just... their posture...
"Holy crap, they’re really doing the breaststroke..."
Shore felt like he was looking at two giant, man-shaped toads.
"Haha, come on in, bro! This thing seems to come with a built-in swimming Skill!" the player next to Crafty Frog shouted.
Hearing that, the landlubber player finally mustered his courage and jumped in with a SPLASH.
And then the crowd witnessed three toads swimming in the sea...
WHOOSH!
A wave crashed over, and the landlubber player got a huge mouthful of seawater.
Crafty Frog, however, took a breath and dove straight down.
He then discovered a transparent membrane immediately covering his eyes, allowing him to see the scene below clearly even in the ocean.
The sandy seabed, a few exposed rocks, kelp and seaweed, small shellfish, and some unidentifiable fish—he could see it all with perfect clarity.
He couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, "Holy shit, a nictitating membrane too? The level of detail is insane. This is fucking awesome..."
"Bro, see if there’s anything good down there!" the faint shouts of other players came from above.
Crafty Frog was naturally curious about this too, so he pulled the other two players along to search the seabed.
However, aside from some larger shellfish, they found basically nothing of value.
The landlubber player and the other guy were having the time of their lives, gleefully using their Long Spears to corner and chase a small fish...
Seeing this, Crafty Frog smiled and shook his head. He was starting to run out of breath.
’Ten minutes...’
After checking the time, he began to slowly ascend.
SPLASH!
The water erupted, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Crafty Frog walked slowly toward the shore, Long Spear in hand.
"Holy crap..."
"Sea King?"
"What Sea King? That’s clearly the Tidal Sea Spirit—"
"Slippery little fish~! HAHAHAHA!"
Because the scene strongly resembled a certain famous movie moment, the crowd couldn’t help but roar with laughter.
"How was it? Find any treasure or anything?" Shore came closer and asked curiously.
"Nope." Crafty Frog shrugged, but he opened his hand to show the shellfish he had collected. "But I can confirm that the Spirit Candle dev team definitely made Ocean content, and it’s very rich."
"Just because there’s no treasure here doesn’t mean there isn’t any elsewhere."
"Damn!" Shore was a little envious. The thought of them being able to just grab treasure from the sea made him so jealous he felt his soul was leaving his body. "Damn it, why do you guys get to play with such cool stuff the moment you log on!"
