But today, the sea hare's mind was not on those white bodies. Even though he had already seen those white bodies over the past three months, even if he closed his eyes, he could still distinguish the differences between each one.
Today, his mind was very strange. It was as if he had suddenly grown up and started to think about his future. Future? What would the journey be like? Where would the danger come from? What kind of place was Zhongzhou? He had been on the Roc for years. Even if there were white bodies to see, what practical problems could it solve?
What puzzled him even more was that when he looked into the distance from the observation deck, he really wanted to know what was at the end of the sea. What was high up in the sky?
And so on. Strange thoughts like these surprised him. There was also a trace of fear in his surprise.
Am I possessed by some kind of monster?
It seems like my life is no longer as muddle-headed as before.
The sea hare was thinking about his own thoughts. He withdrew his gaze from the sea and turned to look at the ship. They had not entered the Ghost Sea yet, so he did not need to concentrate. Moreover, after this peeping, he began to change. He no longer put all of his thoughts on the observation deck, which he thought was incomparably sacred.
It was just to trick him into working. It was all bullshit to coax a child.
With such a thought in mind, he looked at the various people on board in a different light. Before, he had only divided the people on board into two classes, those who were worth peeping at, and those who were not. But now he had a new idea. Those who were busy on deck, and those who were resting in the cabins, were given a different meaning in his mind.
Looking at them, he could see some abnormalities.
In this world, there were superpowers. It was not cultivation, but something that seemed to be innate. Some people had it, while others did not. If one had this kind of Force, then one's chances in life would be far greater than those who did not. This was because Force could directly affect one's strength, stamina, speed, and other basic physical attributes, and even the level of intelligence.
Of course, how to train and improve one's Force was not something that a low-level person like him could figure out.
He looked down from the observation tower and found that he could actually see who had origin power and who didn't.
He had never heard of such a thing in his monotonous and ordinary life. Something like origin power wouldn't protrude out on its own. Just like how a person's fighting spirit would turn into a horse, a person with greater strength could be born with origin power or a naturally strong physique.
There must be a way to distinguish the difference in this world, but he, the sea rabbit, had never come into contact with such a profound thing. Therefore, he found it very strange that he could see whether others had the Force or not.
But when he woke up, there were too many strange things, so it didn't matter. He just felt like he had changed into a different person.
From what he could sense, there were almost a hundred people on the Great Roc, but only a dozen or so had origin power. This ratio was considered normal in this world, but what wasn't normal was the composition!
It wasn't strange for the captain, the Sea Widow, to be an origin power user. Someone who could lead a ship for over a decade and make a name for himself couldn't be an ordinary person.
The dance troupe from the Crescent Archipelago had a total of nine people, and all of them were origin power users! This was a little inconceivable! What was the purpose of such a group going to the Central State? Weren't they afraid of being targeted by the Emperor?
The first mate, Red Beard, was an origin power user. The boatswain was also an origin power user. There were also two passengers whose names were unknown, but that was probably it … no, there was one more, and he was also an origin power user!
A total of fifteen people, that was the sum of all the origin power users on the Great Roc. It couldn't be said that they were the rulers who decided the fate of this voyage, but at least they were the main controllers, including the sea rabbit!
What did the appearance of these origin power users represent? He was now confused. If it were in the muddle-headed and mediocre days before, he wouldn't even think about these things. As long as he could eat his fill and see his white hair every day, nothing else mattered. But now it was different. He seemed to have suddenly become a person who knew how to think.
Who am I? What am I doing here? When he had this kind of thought, he had already realized that this was probably his last time going out to sea. Although this kind of experience was very meaningful, a person's life couldn't be repeated like this again and again. What was worse than repetition was that this kind of repetition was full of danger!
Being a lookout was really too boring. When the sea was calm, the job of a lookout was the most boring job in the world. One couldn't always keep one's eyes on the sea level. If one looked for too long, it would be easy to form hallucinations. Therefore, the job of a lookout had to learn to relax from time to time, especially the eyes.
The sea rabbit took out a short spear from the back of his waist. It was a triangular shape, about a foot long, and was the standard weapon of the crew. When traveling on the sea, very few people were equipped with spears and broadswords. Most of them were long-range crossbows and short range stabs. Other weapons couldn't be used at all on a ship that was swaying violently. It was too narrow, and it was shaking all the time.
Because this short spear had not been used for too long, and because it had been soaked in seawater, it had long been rusted. Originally, it was just an ordinary item on the ship. Coupled with the carelessness of the owner, it was purely a decoration.
In the past, he never thought that he would ever need to use such a thing. But now, he no longer thought that way. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to do it. He quickly slid down from the watchtower and made his way into the ship's kitchen. Before the cook could react, he picked up half a potato and a whetstone and climbed back up to the watchtower while the cook scolded him.
On the ship, half a piece of potato was much more expensive than meat. It was said that if one ate it often, they wouldn't have night blindness.
When he returned to the lookout, his eyes swept across the sea. Under his hawk-like gaze, he didn't find anything unusual. There shouldn't be any abnormalities in this sea.
He began to sharpen his short spear. He was surprised to find that his movements were skillful and experienced. It should be known that any skill needed to be learned, including sharpening a kitchen knife. If the knife was not sharpened properly, it would be ruined. But when he was sharpening this more complicated triangular spear, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all. It was as if he was born to know this kind of weapon.
On the lookout, no one could see his movements. Of course, the sound blended into the background of the sea. It couldn't even be compared to the cries of the seabirds circling the ship.
Sharpening like this, looking at the sea surface, sharpening again, thinking about the things on his mind … Before the sky turned dark, he finally finished sharpening the short spear. Because of the material, it didn't look very shiny. But he knew that this kind of sharpness was enough for him to stab anywhere he wanted.
His fingers rotated, and the short spear obediently turned into a thorny flower in his hand. A very familiar feeling welled up in his heart.
What's wrong with me? Could it be that I've awakened some kind of skill? I've never heard that the force could be used like this.
