Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Pirate World.
Zhao Feng gradually woke up to consciousness, feeling a barrier between his memories and foreign ones that began to flow into his mind. However, strangely, they did not affect him in any possible way.
He could say that he was Zhao Feng, and the new memories belonged to a man who lived for 22 years in this world.
Patrick, 22 years old, is a regular fisherman on Baterilla Island in the South Blue, one of the four seas.
"So, this is the simulation? I feel like I've been transmigrated again."
The vast blue sky was the same color and density as the sea below, which was playing with his small wooden boat.
After getting used to his current identity, he looked around.
In front of him, the simulation interface had returned to normal.
[Simulation world: Pirate world.]
[Mission: Create a name for yourself, or die trying.]
[Progress: 0%.]
The great thing was that he could exit the simulation whenever he wanted and return to his own world. At the same time, no matter how much time he spent here, in the real world barely a second would have passed.
Now, Zhao Feng wasn't worried about the safety of his body, naturally.
No one would like to wake up and find themselves buried in a grave and already forgotten. If many years passed, even his skeleton would not remain.
"Now, what can I bring with me back to my world that could help me on my journey?"
He had realized that he was currently at sea, a few miles from this fisherman's island Patrick, called Baterilla.
Suddenly, the head of the net hanging a few ropes on the boat began to shake more violently, indicating that it was completely filled.
Instinctively, he ran and pulled the small net, and after some struggle, he managed to put it in the basin.
There were many fish, from small to large, all caught in his net.
"Today's catch is not bad... Well, it's good to get some money from this catch as a start."
After filling the bucket with fish, Patrick turned his boat around and returned home, relying on his memories.
Days and weeks passed, and Zhao Feng lived like Patrick, but from time to time he disappeared from the crowd's eyes and trained his body harshly using the training method that Zhao Feng used to practice.
In less than a day, he entered the 1st rank of the Martial Pathway!
He didn't know that even in his character's body in the simulation world, his body was constantly changing and evolving, thanks to his left eye which he brought with him and still occasionally emitted a warm buzz.
...
"Sigh~ I can't believe how weak this man is, 22 years old, he should be a fourth-ranked martial arts master by now! Well, this world isn't supposed to have martial arts masters according to the martial arts system of my world."
Zhao Feng sighed in frustration at Patrick's weakness, but despite that, he didn't stop using the only technique he knew for training and improvement... He felt himself getting better almost every moment, which was being stimulated by his left eye that he brought with him to this body.
He discovered that any abilities related to his soul he could bring with him to the simulation worlds. And his left eye had fully merged with his soul.
...
He lifted his fists and struck the towering tree trunk in front of him with the wind in his grip, continuing to practice the Flaming Metal Fists, the unique martial art of the Zhao Sect, the only one he knew that could enhance his pity-inspiring strength as Patrick.
Fortunately, after trying it, he discovered that even in this world, he could cultivate using Flaming Metal Fists!
And that's what made him sigh with great relief. Since that day, he has been focusing on his cultivation, ignoring fishing when he breakthrough into the 1st rank two days ago!
Yes, three days have passed since the simulation began. On the first day, he was so weak that he would feel severe pain if he clenched his fist on the trunk of the tree behind his house.
But now, this tree was on the verge of tearing apart from the intensity of his successive blows.
His understanding of Flaming Metal Fists was great and amazing, so he had no problem mastering it as Patrick. Then came the extreme excitement when he discovered that the talent of this body was terrifying in every sense of the word!
He didn't know that Patrick's talent was only a few levels higher than his own, but it was his spiritual eye that transformed him into a talented monster.
"Although I use just a core martial art, the lowest rank of martial arts, with the talent of this body, I am confident of achieving the third rank in three months!" shouted Zhao Feng.
Normal martial arts were divided into 5 categories: Core, Low, Middle, High, and Peak. Normally, the higher the rank of martial art, the higher the damage dealt by it would be, and the better it would be for cultivation.
Unfortunately, Zhao Feng only had martial art at the Core level.
Throughout the day, Zhao Feng continued to train, striking his fists harshly against the large trees and rocks, pushing himself further as his fists became stronger.
It was said that if he fully mastered the Flaming Metal Fists, his fists would become as strong as metal to the point that they would ignite flames upon impact.
Unfortunately, a Core level art prevented ordinary humans from reaching that level using it. Before Zhao Feng obtained his spiritual eye, before Frenky took control of his body, he remained stuck at the 1st rank for about a year, despite training with this core art all the time.
That's why even after Frenky took over and gained a high IQ and wide knowledge, he still felt that Patrick was incredibly talented and could move up to the 1st rank by relying solely on this core martial art and his strong body as a Pirate World resident.
"Well, I'm just kidding. It's obvious how amazing my cheat is! The Eye of the God King! Haha!" said Zhao Feng, striking the tree until the night sky fell.
His vitality was beyond calculation.
...
The next day, Zhao Feng woke up refreshed.
It was good that he lived alone in this wonderful wooden house, away from the eyes of people, as he had no family.
When he woke up in the simulation, he discovered that Patrick was an orphan, as both his parents died in a pirate attack on a neighboring island. He managed to escape and reach this island called Baterilla, where he found an empty house in the forest and used it as a shelter. He also became a hunter to make a living, continuing in this state for 6 years until Zhao Feng arrived.
This means that if Zhao Feng had not obtained his body, he would have remained an ordinary person in the background and died normally like most of the inhabitants of this world.
"A wonderful new morning~"
After taking a refreshing bath and drinking his morning coffee, he picked up his axe and left the house.
Suddenly, he saw a seagull wearing a white hat and carrying a red bag and a few newspapers on its legs.
The bird landed on a nearby tree trunk and pointed to the newspaper and the red bag on its chest.
"A delivery bird? Finally, a reliable source for getting the information I want!"
Zhao Feng took out some berries that he earned from selling fish in the village and threw them toward the seagull's bag and grabbed the newspaper.
The first thing that shocked Zhao Feng was the big headline in the newspaper.
{Red-Haired Shanks Ascends to the Fourth Throne and Completes the Four Emperors!}
