While Everyone Panicked, I Upgraded My Raft

Chapter 120: Chapter 114: Skill: Regeneration and Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles

Meanwhile, Rowan Rhodes also invited the Seagull Family and the Big Turtles to enjoy the feast with her.

Earlier, when she was fighting the Abyssal Octopus, the Seagull Family and the Big Turtles had wanted to help, but Rowan had refused. Given the Abyssal Octopus’s massive size, they would have been wiped out in an instant if they intervened, especially since the monster was entirely covered in poison.

Even though she had Antidotes, there was no need to waste them. However, they did deserve credit for helping chase down the Abyssal Octopus later on.

Staring at the table laden with delicious food, the eyes of Seabird One, the Big Turtles, and the others seemed to light up.

”There’s so much good food! Our master is the best!” Seabird One cheered.

”Master is awesome,” Seabird Two chimed in.

”I love Master the most!” Seabird Three chirped.

”That’s a lot of food indeed. You’ve spent too much,” Father Gull said.

”And we didn’t even help much!” Mother Gull added.

”Master, when can we start eating?” the Big Turtle asked.

Listening to the various voices ringing in her ears, the corners of Rowan’s mouth curled up unconsciously. She was constantly burning stamina just to hear them speak, since understanding their language required the use of a Skill.

However, to Rowan, this was not only a way to train her Skill, but also a chance to have companions to chat with. The lively chirping and chatter made the entire raft feel much more bustling and warm.

”We can eat right now! Dig in and try a bit of everything,” Rowan said straightforwardly. ”This was prepared for all of us. After we finish eating, we’ll clean up the raft together.”

”Mhm!”

Receiving Rowan’s permission, Seabird One and the rest didn’t hold back, immediately going after their favorite dishes. However, they were well-mannered enough to take what they wanted and put it in their own bowls before eating.

Garlic lobster, tossed Sea Jellyfish, fried Fish Meat, steamed fish, steamed prawns... It was an absolute seafood feast.

”Delicious, this is so delicious.”

”I didn’t expect fish could be cooked to taste this good.”

”I’m so happy.”

”Awoo, yummy, yummy.”

”You should try the garlic lobster.”

”Okay.”

Rowan’s ears were filled with the happy discussions of the seagulls and the Big Turtles. She also sampled the dishes one by one.

In addition to the seafood feast purchased from the Trading Hall, she brought out quite a few fruits and drinks. Right at this moment, Skye Schuyler sent over the cooked Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles.

[Skye Schuyler: This octopus tentacle has a Healing Effect!!!!]

[Skye Schuyler: I split one tentacle into 10 portions of Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles.]

[Skye Schuyler: After cooking this tentacle, my Level went up!]

[Skye Schuyler: Boss! Please don’t forget about me in the future when you have such good stuff.]

[Skye Schuyler: Usual rules, I kept one portion for myself!]

Reading Skye’s messages, Rowan was quite surprised. ”It actually yielded a Healing Effect?” she thought. It seemed this Abyssal Octopus boss was truly extraordinary.

Rowan immediately accepted the nine portions of Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles. She kept one portion out and stored the rest in her inventory. She wanted to test the Effect of these Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles for herself.

Upon taking it out, Rowan noticed that the dish even had an item description.

[Delicacy: Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles]

[Effect: Healing]

Despite the protection of her Mask, Antidote, and Equipment, the corrosive wounds on Rowan’s body were still present. The reason she hadn’t treated them yet was that she wanted to test the Effect of Skill: Regeneration. However, before testing it, she had planned to recover her condition slightly to better estimate its efficacy.

Unexpectedly, she now had another experimental item on hand. It was the perfect opportunity to test them both out together.

The seagulls and the Big Turtles also noticed the new dish Rowan brought out.

”This is the meat from that big guy.”

”It has a special Effect.”

”Leave it for Master to eat, we won’t have any.”

”Master, eat it quickly. You’ll get better once you eat it.”

Obviously, the Seagull and Big Turtle possessed a special ability to identify food with unique Effects. This instinct was carved into their very genes. Therefore, when the Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles appeared, none of them reached for it; instead, they urged Rowan to eat it right away.

They were well aware of the wounds on Rowan’s body. Since she hadn’t treated them and chose to eat with them first, they knew she definitely had her own plans. More importantly, they could sense that her overall condition was still quite good.

Hearing their soft, caring words, the corners of Rowan’s mouth curled into a smile. She then began to taste the dish.

The moment it entered her mouth, what Rowan paid attention to first was the taste of the octopus tentacles. Clearly, Skye possessed exceptional culinary skills, making the food extraordinarily delicious. Not only was it crisp and refreshing, but it also had a delightful chewiness to it.

Aside from the great taste, the most important thing was the Effect. Rowan felt her Life Value immediately recover by two points. At the same time, a wound on her arm showed signs of shrinking.

It actually worked. This kind of Healing didn’t just mend physical wounds; it also neutralized the toxicity lingering in them.

Rowan figured this had something to do with the Abyssal Octopus’s traits—its tentacles could regenerate. Therefore, after killing it, she not only obtained Skill: Regeneration, but the harvested octopus tentacles also carried a corresponding Effect.

Having confirmed the Effect, Rowan continued eating. By the time she finished the plate, the wounds on both of her hands were mostly healed. As for the injuries on her torso, they still remained.

Rowan drew a conclusion: the Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles were useful, but their Effect was limited and followed a specific priority, healing minor wounds first. Furthermore, the potency was capped; once the Effect ran its course, the healing stopped. Still, as a culinary delicacy, it was simply perfect.

After finishing the Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles, Rowan’s focus shifted to her Skill: Regeneration. Having just consumed the special dish and been comforted by the hearty feast, her Life Value had now reached its maximum. It was the perfect time to activate her Skill.

Rowan immediately selected the Regeneration Skill. Upon activating it, she could feel the dull, aching wounds on her body slowly mending themselves. As the wounds healed, her Life Value dropped correspondingly. However, the overall Effect was much better compared to the Blast Fried Octopus Tentacles.

Most importantly, Skill: Regeneration had room to grow. Once it reached a higher Level, the Regeneration Effect would only become stronger. This was yet another powerful weapon in her arsenal to survive the Sea Survival Game.
