Chapter 50

After analyzing Kateryna's innate talents, it was then her professional talent as a Master Appraiser that came into focus. The key to exposing Renoir's skill book, the divine skill that changed my fate, was due to this talent. She liked to fiddle with her telescope, and the small actions with the skill book were undoubtedly a professional habit of this talent.

The normal pirate's professional talent is actually "Treasure Intuition." (Pirates have five sub-skills, which are also five professional talents: ship handling expertise, naval combat expertise, pirate training, ship tracking, and treasure intuition.)

Her talent as a Master Appraiser, which surpasses basic talents, is known as a specialized professional talent. For example, the current market valuation of a Master of Hell's Gate hero in the Japanese region is 6 million. The ordinary demon hero's professional talent is Hell's Gate, and Master of Hell's Gate is a more advanced form, more specialized. The result of specialization is a significant difference in market value.

A hero with a specialized professional talent is definitely a good hero.

While the Master of Hell's Gate is a specialized professional talent, it is actually placed in the innate talent category. This means that when a player creates a character, draws a card, and even before they change their profession, the new character already has it. Similarly, the "Knightly Model" hero, valued at 3 million dollars, is also a higher form of the shared professional talent "Blessing Ritual" for Knight Priests, and it is also a specialized professional talent, placed in the innate talent category.

This setting indicates that the hero is born to do this job.

What does this mean? It means that under normal circumstances, Kateryna's Master Appraiser talent should also be placed in the innate talent category. However, this talent is now placed in her professional talent category.

Isn't this the effect of my Navigator's divine scroll? Converting innate talents into professional talents, and then having an additional innate talent slot, which means Kateryna is actually a dual-talent hero!

The more I analyzed this, the more excited I became! I looked at Kateryna with even more fervor! For a dual-talent hero to be an epic hero is really a bit of a waste, but she is still young, hahaha!

However, when it came to her appraisal talent, I suddenly noticed that the telescope in her bag was called "Precision Craftsman's Telescope."

I checked the equipment and was immediately stunned.

— Precision Craftsman's Telescope: Increases hero's vision by 50%. A famous craftsman's masterpiece, the price of selling this treasure increases by 300%.

Damn, this is definitely the gift I gave her, right? A Master Appraiser can discover hidden treasures, but to appraise the same treasure in such a unique way?

I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Honey, why is your telescope different?"

Kateryna was surprised, "Of course it's different. There are no two identical leaves in the world, right?"

Indeed! To ordinary players, leaves look the same, but the world through the eyes of a Master Appraiser is indeed different. Master Appraisers are truly profound.

Kateryna smiled, "Captain, think about it. There are so many valuable paintings and statues, and their reproductions and forgeries are numerous. If you can't tell the difference, you'll be deceived. This is the case of fakes passing as genuine. There's another situation where genuine items are disguised to prevent theft or robbery. Merchants often do this. This is the hardest to uncover."

I raised an eyebrow, "Genuine items disguised as ordinary items? How ordinary?"

Kateryna giggled, "It can be very varied. Legend has it that some treasures can be disguised as items with no attributes, indistinguishable from ordinary daily items. I've heard that the alchemists of the Silver Federation are experts at this. So Uncle Balak decided to move all the small and large items from the ship, making his shop look like a general store, which is very interesting and was my favorite place to play as a child." (Note: The Silver Federation is a neutral faction, also known as the Mage Academy City, and players cannot directly choose it.)

I couldn't help but nod repeatedly. It seems the world of treasures in the game is very deep. Being a pirate is actually a very artistic job.

Thinking about items disguised as ordinary items, I suddenly remembered the very artistic and ancient flute I found in the Navigator's legacy pack. Could it have some profound meaning?

I quickly took out the flute from my bag, "Honey, take a look. This is someone's legacy. Is there anything special about it?"

"Oh?" Kateryna took the flute and her eyes lit up again!

There's hope!

Sure enough, Kateryna began to focus entirely on the flute, her expression excited and tense.

Haha! It definitely has some profound meaning! Great! What a great hero! My precious, hahaha!

Now, with this character being a Navigator, a Master, and a dual-identity appraiser, it's definitely a money-printing machine! If the game's prices are as volatile as the speculation, earning a few million in a year or two is no problem. At the very least, a few million is guaranteed.

I decided, I won't mention selling the character anymore! Being wanted by the entire server, so what? Does that brat really think he's the boss just because he has money? That's delusional arrogance, and it needs to be treated! If I meet him, I'll beat him to the point where he has to beg on the streets.

Finally, Kateryna took a long breath, "Captain, this is definitely a treasure. It's likely a hunter's tool for summoning falcons, and it's probably from the Elven Kingdom. I can't tell anything else."

I was overjoyed, "No problem, no problem! As long as it's a treasure, that's fine, honey! You've worked hard!" A treasure that even a hero who can expose skill books can't identify is definitely A-level or higher. There are many appraisers among NPCs, and I can pay them to handle it.

Kateryna giggled, "Captain, where are we going now?"

I was taken aback, "Where are we now?"

Kateryna smiled, "The Emerald Sea, not far from the Elven Kingdom of Faloran."

I laughed, "Great! Let's go to the Elven Kingdom and find someone to appraise this treasure!"

Kateryna smiled, "I've heard that goods from the Elven Kingdom can make a lot of money when sold in the Human Kingdom."

I nodded eagerly, "Right, right, right. The first shipment will start from the Elven Kingdom, hahaha!"

Kateryna giggled, "No wonder you're the captain. I'll steer the ship, and you'll handle the sails, okay?"

I chuckled, "No problem, of course. Handling the sails is a man's job, of course." But, honey, shouldn't you take off that wet clothes? After being in the rain all night, you should get some sun, right?

The Soaring sailed toward its destination.

With some free time, I took out the hard-earned golden paper, held it to my nose, and inhaled deeply, as if smelling the sweat from her chest, ah~

— System Notice: Your innate talent "Storm Sailing" is a rare navigation talent that meets the conditions for using the Navigator's Wisdom Scroll. Do you want to convert your innate talent into a Navigator's professional talent?

— Confirm!

The paper flashed with golden light and turned into golden dust, disappearing.

— System Notice: Congratulations! You have used 1 skill point to obtain the Navigator's professional talent "Storm Sailing."

— Storm Sailing: Increases the safety of the hero's fleet when sailing in severe storms. The effect improves with the level of the Navigator's skill. (Note: The prerequisite is that the hero must have a large galleon with good wave resistance and better ship types. Large galleons require the hero to have a certain reputation to qualify for purchase at the shipyard.)

Finally, it's no longer a wild talent. Compared to before, it now has an effect that improves with the professional level! The feeling of being part of an organization is indeed very different, hahaha! Hahaha!

— System Notice: You have converted your innate talent into a professional talent. You now have the opportunity to choose a new innate talent from one of the skills you have mastered.

Indeed! I have dual talents! Hahaha! Hahaha!

But which skill should I choose as my new talent? The most advanced skill I have is "Intelligence Analysis," right? No, no, no, why am I in a hurry? I'm already a Master, how far is it to becoming a God? I'll wait until I learn a God-level skill, then I'll be a God-level hero, a God-level master, hahaha!
