Hello and Welcome back to my blog!
Welcome to another episode of Dave the Diver.
DAVE THE DIVER is a casual, single-player adventure RPG featuring deep-sea exploration and fishing during the day and sushi restaurant management at night. Join Dave and his quirky friends as they seek to uncover the secrets of the mysterious Blue Hole. Source - Steam
In the last episode, we hired two new staff members, one for serving duty and the other for kitchen. We also found the signs of Ancient Sea People Civilization when we blew up an underwater entrance hiding the Sea People Record Chamber. That was the biggest discovery we made and also got an artefact from the ocean that seems to give us some extra oxygen or underwater breathing for a while.
But all of this didn't go well with a notorious organisation who wanted to stop us and warned us of further exploration.
The game gives you multiple quests, and we had a VIP customer visit a day ago who wanted us to surprise him with a unique dish. He is a sushi critic, and impressing him will give us a good following on the Cooksta app. So, Banjo, the Chef, gave us the task of fetching Jellyfish and other ingredients.
Dr. Bacon, the researcher on this ancient civilization, came back to us with his findings. He found that a strong signal was coming from the depths but to go there we needed a powerful headlamp. It is quite dark there. But the deliveries in this place have stopped so we dialled our resource guy, Duff. He would give us one if we found an item for him from the ocean... it got lost on one of the cargo ships.
We found the pink box that got lost but a tentacle suddenly appeared and took it to the depths underneath an old rusty shipwreck. We need a Gas cutter to cut open the door and get to it.
Duff will give us the Cutter once we are back on the surface. For now. On my way up, I grabbed as many fish as I could for the sushi restaurant.
On this dive we found a sniper rifle, it deals a lot of damage but only has 3 bullets. If we find it two more times, its blueprint will be added and we can forge it with Duff's help.
I sold a couple of items to get enough money to buy an upgrade for Cargo Box, more space means more ingredients for my sushi restaurant per dive. 42 Kg of stuff is not a small deal per dive.
The next dive we saw the Pink dolphin again. This time not just the pink one but the other one was in trouble too. A group of Pirates were trying to capture them. Dave had to fight with these three pirates underwater. Luckily for me, I had a gun and some extra bullets lying conveniently on the ocean floor.
After a couple of hits to each of those, they retreated leaving the dolphins alone. Dolphins were happy with us and gave us a 'Rusty Dolphin Necklace'. I won't question how they got this necklace.
But this charm gave us a boost that increased dash speed to 30%. It is really helpful in dodging those hungry sharks.
I reached the place where I had to use that headlamp. But we had to retrieve that pink box for Duff before he gave us the lamp.
But our bagpack was already full so I didn't go for that quest right now. You wouldn't want to risk losing everything that you gathered in this dive...right?
Back at the sushi restaurant, it was time for the VIP visit. Banjo prepared the Jellyfish sushi for him. But that guy wasn't impressed with this idea. Let's see how he reacts after eating it though.
You can see from his reaction, he was swept away by the taste of it. Just like anime, they overdid it but that's okay lol.
By his own words, he could taste the sea! That has to be the best compliment I have seen someone give to a sushi...hehe.
But even after this praise he only gave us 80 points. Not because of the taste of the food but because this restaurant lacks some other amenities. He gifted us a refrigerator so now we can serve some cold beer too. And a 1000 Gold with 50 Likes on our Cooksta page. That's good.
And look at the amount of money we make today. We crossed 1300 for the first time. The new recipes are coming in handy. The profit was more than double on the last day. This means we can upgrade our equipment more.
Also, we have enough likes for Silver Rank now!
We seem to be getting popular on the social media site as well. This VIP had a lot of followers and some of them followed us too. I didn't realise these vip visits have these many perks associated with them. It almost looks like a side quest that is completely optional but gives a lot of rewards and is worth doing. I will not miss any VIP visits from now on.
