I have a big sailing game.

Watching Aital run away, the owner of the fishing tackle shop was silent for a moment and sighed.

Seeing this, Rogge looked thoughtful.

He didn't take the young Aita's words to heart.

Although the bear looked a bit annoying, Rogge didn't care about such a trivial matter.

Moreover, he seemed to have an unusual relationship with the owner of the fishing tackle shop.

Not long after, the owner of the fishing tackle shop turned around, came to Rogge, and forced a smile.

[Mr. Rogge, I hope you don’t take Atal’s words to heart. He is not bad in nature, but...]

The owner of the fishing tackle shop hesitated to speak.

[The young man who was killed by the pirates before was called Matt? 】

Rogge heard the quarrel between the two clearly just now, and he guessed it after a little thought.

The owner of the fishing tackle shop smiled bitterly when he heard this.

[Yes, that child is Aita's eldest brother, and Aita often follows him. 】

After saying that, the owner of the fishing tackle shop sighed.

[The child Aita was an orphan and was found on a small boat. 】

[I wonder how cruel his parents are to abandon a newborn child at sea. 】

[The person who discovered him was an old drunkard in the town. Although this guy was not very good in character, he raised Aita for a while. 】

[But the old drunkard died within a few years, leaving him alone. 】

[One day when I was fishing, I saw this kid hiding under a rotten board, so I gave him some food, and then the kid came here often. 】

It seems that after the old drunkard passed away, it was the owner of the fishing tackle shop who took care of Atal.

He is indeed a kind person.

Rogge smiled in his heart.

[…I don’t know if he learned bad things from the old drunkard. He has a bad mouth. He always likes to sarcastically mock others and expose their scars, so the children in the town don’t play with him. 】

[This kid is becoming more and more withdrawn. 】

[When the pirates came before, Matt died at the hands of a pirate gun, and Aita was very sad. 】

[He thinks you should come earlier...]

At this point, the owner of the fishing gear shop became a little angry again and banged the table.

[This guy, I never taught him to be a white-eyed wolf! 】

Hearing this, Rogge just smiled.

He doesn't care, or even get angry about it.

If you do bad things, some people will despise you; if you do good things, some people will think you are not good enough.

Even if you do nothing, you may get angry just for standing there.

So nothing in the world can be perfect, you just need to have a clear conscience.

[Forget it, let’s not talk about this kid. 】

[Come on, Roger, let me show you my fishing rod. This is the fishing rod I bought on Goldsmiths Island. The quality is first-class. 】

【and this……】

Boss Jack stopped thinking about Atal and began to introduce the fishing rod to Rogge enthusiastically.

Rogge just listened to it as a short story and quickly turned his attention to the fishing rod in front of him.

These fishing rods are very good, much better than the ordinary fishing rods Roger bought before.

The quality is always green, and the names also carry prefixes such as "exquisite" and "special".

It can be seen that Old Jack really took out all his treasured fishing rods.

But just that, Rogge didn't think it was enough.

After looking over it, Roger finally found the relatively best fishing rod.

[Special threaded fishing rod]

[Type: props]

[Quality: blue]

[Explanation: The fishing rod made by a highly skilled craftsman uses special materials and is extremely tough, and can even withstand the pulling force of wild beasts. 】

This fishing rod is the fishing rod purchased from Goldsmiths Island that Old Jack mentioned at the beginning. It is the only one with blue quality.

Seeing that Rogge had taken a liking to the fishing rod, Old Jack showed a real expression.

He guessed that Rogge would definitely choose this fishing rod.

[You have a good eye and you found the most special fishing rod at a glance. 】

[…When you say special, do you mean the threads on this fishing rod? 】

Roger teased.

Old Jack paused after hearing this, then touched the back of his head and laughed.

Indeed, even if you only look at the appearance, threaded fishing rods are the most special among them.

[By the way, Mr. Jack, have you mentioned Goldsmiths Island before? What is that place? 】

Roger was a little curious.

Regarding Rogge's question, Old Jack carefully considered his words before speaking.

[That is the arena of craftsmen and blacksmiths in the five sea areas, where the masters of superb skills are all. 】

[It is also a place rich in weapons and equipment. 】

[Perhaps you should go take a look after your voyage. There will definitely be something that interests you there. 】

There's definitely no way to sleep on this island.

Just listening to Old Jack's description, Roger seemed to have heard the sounds of "clang, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."

【I am indeed very interested. 】

[I just want this fishing rod. How much does it cost? 】

Roger asked as he picked up the threaded fishing rod.

When Jack heard this, he put away his smile and looked serious.

[This fishing rod is not for sale. 】

[But I plan to give him to you now. 】

[The first is to thank you for your kindness to Sea Serpent Island, and the second is to apologize for Aita's rude behavior. 】

[I hope you can accept it. 】

After Rogge listened, he thought for a moment and nodded.

[Okay, then I'll accept it. 】

After saying that, Rogge picked up another fruit from the fruit plate next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.

[Get another apple, that’s enough. 】

[Fishing rods are not included. 】

[See you later, old fisherman. 】

After saying that, Rogge turned around with a smile and walked out of the fishing tackle shop.

In the fruit plate on the table, several gold coins made a crisp sound.

When Old Jack saw this, he immediately became anxious. He quickly picked up the gold coins from the fruit plate and chased him out.

When they arrived at the door of the fishing gear store, they found that Roger had already disappeared without a trace.

……

After putting the fishing rod into the inventory, Roger returned to his cabin.

The dark sea worms had already eaten away the minced meat that Rogge had thrown in.

At this time, a strong feeling of fullness is followed by drowsiness.

Dark sea nymphs need to sleep to quickly digest these foods and turn them into nutrients for transformation.

The dark seafly swayed its body and pressed its abdomen against the wall of the barrel. The four soft tentacles on both sides swayed slowly.

【Meow~】

Daju was meowing next to him, seeming to be quite interested in this thing.

"Don't eat my clone."

Seeing this, Rogge quickly took a lid and covered it.

He was full of expectations for this little bug, which was only one or two centimeters in size.

Even now it's just a little bug.

But one day, it will grow into a giant of the deep sea.

After placing the dark sea worm, Rogge came to Felik.

[After observing and helping boatman Felik in his work, you have improved your learning progress by two points. 】

[After observing and helping boatman Felik in his work, you have improved your learning progress by two points. 】

【…】

[The learning progress is full, congratulations on learning the skill - Craftsman lv1. 】

Holy shit, I finally learned my first skill!

It's not easy!

Roger burst into tears.
