After analyzing Katerina's special ability, he looked at her occupation special ability next, Master Appraiser. It was a legendary skill that unlocked Renoir's Skill Book and changed Da Fei's fate. She liked fiddling with binoculars and Skill Books. Those must be the habits that came with this special ability.
The occupation special ability of Pirates was usually "Treasure Intuition". (The five sub-skills of the Pirate occupation, which are also the five occupation special abilities: Sailing Mastery, Naval Combat Mastery, Pirate Training, Ship Tracking, Treasure Intuition)
Her Master Appraiser, which was based upon her special ability, was also an occupation special ability mastery. Take, for example, the Japanese Hell Gate Master Hero who had a market value of 6 million. An ordinary Demon Hero's occupation special ability was Hell Gate. Hell Gate Master was the highest level of Hell Gate. Mastery increased the market value by a substantial amount.
A Hero who had an occupation special ability mastery was definitely a good Hero.
Although Hell Gate Master was an occupation special ability mastery, it was, in actual fact, classified as an inborn special ability. That meant a player would have it once they created their beginner character before they changed occupations. Similarly, the "Knight Icon" Hero worth 3 million US dollars was a more advanced form of the Knight or Priest's occupation special ability, "Blessing Ceremony". It was also an occupation special ability mastery which was classified as an inborn special ability.
This meant the Hero was born with skills for this occupation.
What did this mean? It was proof that under normal circumstances, Katerina's Master Appraiser should also be an inborn special ability. However, this special ability was now part of her occupation special ability.
Wasn't this the effect of his Voyager Godly Scroll? It turned an inborn special ability into an occupational special ability, which freed up a new inborn special ability slot. That meant, Katerina was actually a double special ability Hero!
Da Fei was even more excited when he analyzed this! He looked at Katerina in an even more fanatical light! It was a shame that a double special ability Hero was just an Epic Hero. But she was still young. Wahahaha!
However, as soon as he paid attention to her Appraiser special ability, Da Fei suddenly realized that the binoculars in her bag were named "Precise Craftsman's Binoculars". Ah?
Da Fei took a look at the equipment and was stunned.
—Precise Craftsman's Binoculars: Increase Hero's vision by +50%. A masterpiece by a Master Craftsman. Selling price increased by 300%.
What the heck, wasn't this the gift he gave her? A Master Appraiser could not only find hidden treasures, but he could also appraise items differently from others?
Da Fei could not help but ask, "Darling, why are your binoculars different?"
Katerina replied in surprise, "Of course it's different. Have there ever been two leaves which are identical in this world?"
So that was it! In the eyes of ordinary players, there was no difference in the leaves. But in a Master Appraiser's eyes, it was different. A Master Appraiser was really more cultured.
Katerina laughed again. "Think about it, Captain. There are so many valuable famous paintings and famous statues, and there are so many imitations and forgeries of them. Won't you get cheated if you cannot differentiate between real and fake? You could pass a fake off for the real thing. You could also disguise an original as a very ordinary item in order to prevent it from being stolen. This is what businessmen often do. This kind of disguise is also the hardest to see through."
Da Fei frowned. "Disguise the real thing? Disguise it as an ordinary item? Ordinary like how?"
Katerina said with a smile, "There is a myriad of ways. There are legends that some treasures can be disguised as having no attributes at all, which makes them completely like ordinary daily items. I heard that the Silver Federation alchemists are masters at it. That's why Uncle Barak simply decided to move everything out from his ship and ended up making his shop look like a supermarket. It's a very interesting place, and it's also my favorite place to play when I was a kid." (Note: Silver Federation, neutral force, also known as the Wizard College City. Players are not allowed to choose them)
Da Fei nodded involuntarily. It seemed that the study of treasure in the game was very detailed and complicated. The Pirates actually had to have quite a bit of culture and knowledge.
The thought that treasures could be disguised as ordinary things without any special attributes at all reminded Da Fei of the very simple and unadorned flute he found in the seafarer's old bag. Might it be more than it seemed?
Da Fei quickly took the flute out of the bag. "Darling, this was left behind by someone. Take a look and see if there's anything special about it."
"Oh?" Katerina took a look at the flute and her eyes glowed again!
Something was up!
Sure enough, Katerina focused all her attention on examining the flute, her expression excited and nervous.
Haha! There is definitely something out of the ordinary! Well done! Well done, Hero! My sweetheart, wahahaha!
His title was now Voyager, Grand Master, and he had a Master Appraisal sub-hero with two identities. He was a money-printing machine! If the value of items in the game was really as scarily high as hyped, there would be no problem for him to make a lot of money in the next year or two. He could make at least millions of dollars.
He had decided he would not talk about selling his account again! So what if everyone on the server was after him? That spoiled kid really thought that he could be everyone's boss because he had more money? He was a delusional megalomaniac. He ought to be treated! They had better not cross paths, or Da Fei, the Grand Master would beat him till he had to beg in the streets.
Finally, Katerina let out a long-drawn breath. "Captain, this must be a treasure. It should be a hunter tool for summoning falcons. Most of them are produced by the Elves. That's all I know."
Da Fei was overjoyed. "It's okay! It's okay as long as you know it's a treasure. Darling has worked hard!" Even the Appraiser Hero who identified the Skill Book could not identify this treasure. It must be at least Grade A and above, right? There were many NPC Appraisers. He would pay them to do it when the time came.
Katerina smiled delicately. "Captain, where shall we go now?"
Da Fei was startled. "Where are we now?"
Katerina smiled and said, "Jade Sea. We're not far from the Elven Kingdom, Faroland."
Da Fei laughed and said, "Okay! Let's go to the Elven Kingdom and find someone to identify this treasure at the same time!"
Katerina laughed. "I heard that goods of the Elven Kingdom are worth a lot of money when shipped to the Human Kingdom."
Da Fei nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes. Our first trade run will start from the Elven Kingdom. Wahahaha!"
Katerina said with a coy smile, "You're indeed the Captain. In that case, I will take the helm. Captain, you will have to handle the sails then?"
Da Fei smiled and said, "No problem, I should be doing it. The menial task of handling the sail should be done by a man."
But Darling, we have been in the rain the entire night. You should take off your wet clothes and sunbath first, right?
SV Fly started sailing towards their destination.
When he finally had time, Da Fei took out the hard-won golden paper, put it under his nose, and took a deep breath. It seemed as though he smelled the sweat from between his darling's bosom. Ah~~
—System Message: Your inborn special ability "Storm Voyager'' is a rare Nautical Special Ability. It fulfills the conditions needed to use the Voyager's Wisdom Scroll. Do you want to convert the inborn special ability to Voyager occupation special ability?
—Yes!
The paper flashed golden, disintegrated into gold scraps, and disappeared.
—System Message: Congratulations! You used one Skill Point and obtained Voyager occupation special ability "Storm Voyager".
—Storm Voyager: The safety of the hero's fleet increases when sailing in a severe storm. Its effect increases with the increase of the Voyager Skills level. (Note: The prerequisite is that the hero needs to have a large Galleon with good wave-resistance. The hero needs to meet a certain level of reputation in order to be eligible to purchase the large Galleon at the shipyard.)
Finally, it was no longer a random special ability. Compared to before, it finally had an effect that increased with the occupation level! Finally belonging in an empire was quite different. Haha! Wahahaha!
—System Message: You have converted your inborn special ability into an occupation special ability. Now, you have the opportunity to choose a new inborn special ability. You can choose a skill from any skill you already possess to become your new special ability.
That was it! He now had two special abilities! Wahahaha!
What should he choose as his special ability? His current advanced skill was "Intelligence Analysis", should he choose that? No, no, he was already a Grand Master, would Godly-level be far? He would decide after he had learned some Godly Skills later. He would be the ultimate Grand Master, wahahaha!
