"Yes, everything that was supposed to come has come."
Looking at the dazzling array of props, Kevin directly took out the coin slot
and stuffed the contents of the safe into the space in the piggy bank.
His inventory was already filled with materials collected during exploration.
There was only room left in the piggy bank.
If Lily were here, there would be no problem fitting these things in.
It was a pity that she wasn't suitable for going out to explore, so she was better off as a shop assistant.
The props in the safety box included a locator and a prototype map.
The locator could be charged to point to the location of the next laboratory.
However, the accuracy wasn't high, and energy needed to be consumed for frequent positioning to gradually approach the correct location.
Prototype diagrams could be used to unlock some basic Gaden technology equipment.
Kevin already had an "encrypted prototype map (asteroid)" in his hand.
However, the prototype image required a decryption computer to decipher.
The "Encrypted Prototype Map (The Sinking Sea)" that had just been taken out of the safe didn't need to be cracked.
As soon as he got started, Kevin had already acquired the corresponding knowledge.
[You have unlocked the formula for "Decryption Computer"]
[You have unlocked the recipes for "Gauss Dagger," "Pulse Pistol," "Star Eater Control Component," "Taser," and "Shadow Chaser"]
The decryption computer was an essential tool for cracking subsequent prototypes.
The weapons that were unlocked later corresponded to the warrior, mage, summoner, shooter, and thief professions, respectively.
Although the recipes for these weapons had been unlocked, "Sky Blue Ingots" were required to make these Jaden weapons.
This was a mineral that only generated on the Sky Island, and it couldn't be collected at this time.
It could only be mined after defeating the "Hive" or "Mind of the Hive."
"At least there's a goal to move forward."
After packing up all the things, Kevin looked at Enju, who was leaning on the window and looking out.
"It's almost time to leave... Enju, what are you looking at?"
"This place feels like an oceanarium."
Enju said with some reluctance.
Looking out from inside the laboratory, it was a beautiful picture.
The prismatic fragments inside the crystal cave emitted light, dyeing the seawater a bright blue.
The gentle ghost jellyfish and aquatic rays floated freely by.
From time to time, slow-moving prism-back turtles moved slowly with lazy steps.
They wouldn't be hostile to passing "visitors" unless actively attacked.
"If you want to watch it, you can watch it for a while longer."
Kevin said, not minding at all.
If he hadn't brought his fishing rod, he could have dug a hole in the laboratory floor to go fishing.
The best thing about fishing in Terraria was that you would rarely come back empty-handed, and you could catch all kinds of strange and bizarre treasures.
Hearing Kevin's words, Enju nodded and looked at the sea view in front of her again.
But she was constantly thinking about Kevin in her heart.
Due to the high erosion rate of enterovirus, she never had the chance to become an initiator.
Today, when she heard that someone wanted her to be a police partner, she felt half happy and half scared.
According to some news she had heard before, even if you became a starter, you would only be used as a consumable.
Not only must they fully obey the promoter, but they must also fight against dangerous Gastrea.
Once the virus was injected by protozoa, the erosion rate would become too high and out of control.
At that time, they would have to be "forced to deal with"... that is, executed.
Faced with such an assignment, Enju naturally had no hope for her future life.
But judging from today's interactions... maybe she had met a good master.
No, it should be "brother."
"...?"
Suddenly, Enju rubbed his eyes and said in surprise.
"Brother Kevin, a huge thing suddenly appeared!"
"Where?!"
Kevin, who was sorting out his inventory, shuddered and hurried to the glass wall of the laboratory.
At the location Enju pointed to, a huge clam the size of a van, emitting blue light, was slowly opening its shell.
"Giant Clam!"
"I didn't expect it to come to my door!"
Seeing the giant clam in front of him, Kevin immediately took out the super thermal ion cannon.
"Enju, prepare to fight... is that okay?"
"I'll do my best, brother!"
Having finally gotten the chance to prove herself, Enju quickly entered combat mode.
Her weapon was the Sahara Twin Blades given to her by Kevin.
This weapon required a flexible stance to be effective.
As a carrier of the "rabbit"-like Gastrea gene, Enju's mobility was unquestionable.
"It will continue to summon small monsters, and you have to take care of those little clams."
Before diving into the seawater, Kevin gave instructions at the door of the laboratory.
"As for this big guy, I'll deal with it."
"Always keep an eye on the top of your head, it might suddenly attack you."
The challenge difficulty of the Giant Clam wasn't high. After all, it wasn't a particularly powerful enemy, just a mini-boss.
It only had two attack methods. One was to close its shell, gaining high defense and summoning monsters simultaneously.
The other was to suddenly teleport to the top of the enemy's head and launch an attack like a mountain falling on them.
Both of these attacks were easy to handle.
The most difficult part of the entire challenge was actually finding the location of this mini-boss.
The tranquility and peace of the Sunken Sea were shattered by the laser emitted by the super thermal ion cannon.
Kevin was now wearing the Victory Tide suit, although he had lost the magic bonus of the jungle armor.
However, he had increased his magic power to 200 points through magic crystals.
Even if the 60-point magic limit was gone, it wouldn't be a big deal.
On the contrary, the underwater mobility provided by the Victory Tide suit was more important at this time.
Enraged by the continuous attacks, the magic pearl inside the giant clam emitted bursts of light.
This was the source of its power and the last rays of light from the ancient ocean nation of Ilmeris.
In an instant, a large number of bubbles fell from above Kevin's head.
This was the prelude to the giant clam's attack that was about to come crashing down on him!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
The corners of Kevin's mouth rose slightly, and a ferocious shield appeared in his hand without him noticing.
This shield was shaped like an eyeball, but with a gaping mouth in the middle!
[Cthulhu Shield (Rainbow): Provides 2 defense, gains the "Sprint" ability, and avoids damage while sprinting]
This was one of the trophies for defeating the Eye of Cthulhu, and it was the most important reward!
Even if he didn't want any other drops, Kevin had to keep this accessory!
Because its effect was so good—it had an invincible time sprint ability, it was simply a magical skill for single combat!
With the help of sprinting, Kevin instantly moved several meters away from his current position.
The giant clam's huge body fell down with a loud bang, stirring up the silt and nutrient-rich sand on the seabed.
The next moment, two phase laser balls pierced through the dusty waters and exploded inside the giant clam.
Enju on the side was also working hard to clean up the monsters that appeared with the giant clam.
If left alone, the little clams would open their shells and fire a barrage of bullets at Kevin.
Because of Enju's contract skills, Kevin specially equipped her with his cloud bottle, giving her the ability to double jump.
The attack with the double jump bonus was quite powerful, and it could almost kill a monster directly every time!
With Enju's help, Kevin didn't need to worry about being harassed by monsters and could concentrate on depleting the giant clam's health.
In less than 5 minutes, the giant clam was killed by Kevin, and the magical light on its body gradually dimmed.
A lot of materials fell out of its shell, among which there were one or two props, which were quite conspicuous.
Kevin swam over and put all the items in front of him into the piggy bank.
Although the inventory that had just been organized was now in a mess again, this was also a happy trouble.
"Come to think of it, I remember that after killing the giant clam, an NPC called 'Sea King' would come out from it..."
Just when Kevin was confused, several prompts suddenly popped up in front of him.
[You have unlocked the "Sea King" function!]
[This role cannot be assigned and can only be performed by you]
Kevin had always been the one who assigned duties to contractors.
He didn't expect that he would have a job?
...
Why did the role of "Sea King" sound like a scumbag?
