So, what do we do now?

Gu Xi rubbed her forehead in frustration, feeling a throbbing sensation in her head.

However, the little chubby balls had no idea what the captain was worried about; they just became curious when they saw that she wasn't doing anything.

"Human, why are you not leaving?"

Let's go!

Several chubby little balls kept urging them on.

Gu Xi was surrounded by several chubby little balls. If she could, she really wanted to throw them into the seawater to soak and clear their heads.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and this idea remained just a thought.

For once, Gu Xi patiently explained to the little chubby balls, "The boat is frozen and can't move now."

"Huh? We can't leave? Isn't it enough to just defrost the ice?"

Is that all?

Is that all?

Gu Xi listened to them repeating themselves like a broken record, as soon as they started, the other little chubby balls would take turns saying the same thing, which she found quite speechless.

If she could thaw, she wouldn't be standing here!

At this moment, Lingling became clever. It seemed to sense Gu Xi's unspeakable suffering, so it stepped forward.

"We froze this ice ourselves, so let's take responsibility for thawing it."

Gu Xi felt relieved upon hearing this. Finally, a member of the deep-sea race had spoken a human word. Indeed, the first little chubby ball was a treasure.

The other chubby little balls chattered on and on, but in the end they all agreed to work together to thaw the ice blocks by the boat.

The Abyss Scale Clan's spiritual power is adept at controlling ice. They can freeze ice surfaces and also thaw them, but this thawing method is much more troublesome than freezing the sea surface.

After they made their decision, Gu Xi saw several chubby little balls jump onto the ice one by one, and then their duck feet started to slide quickly.

"What are they doing?" Gu Xi asked the octopus watching the show with her.

"Chirp chirp!" (I don't know.)

The man and the fish stared at the ice surface. Soon, the duck feet dug several holes in the upper layer of the ice, and then the little chubby balls jumped into the holes, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Suddenly, Gu Xi felt a massive spiritual force overflow from the cave and cover the ice surface. Immediately afterward, the ice that had frozen the ship began to melt.

In no time, the ice around the ship melted into water.

Although the surface had turned into water, Gu Xi still didn't know what the situation was like underneath the ship, so he sent the Radiant Rays to investigate the underwater ice layer.

Soon, the light rays reported that although there was still a thick layer of ice underwater, the current water depth no longer affected navigation.

Now that the problem was solved, Gu Xi called all the little fat balls onto the ship and then instructed the octopus to use the enhanced fire elemental cannon to start the ship.

The fire elemental cannon fired, and wherever the extreme heat energy passed, it began to turn into water.

The Future set sail again, and the little chubby balls started skating on the ship once more.

Now that all the problems have been solved, Gu Xi only needs to wait for Luman to send over the new clothes so she can increase the little chubby balls' favorability.

And so, a group of chubby little balls celebrated the 63rd day of the maritime calendar while eating, drinking, and having fun on the Gu Xi boat.

When Gu Xi laid out the little skirts one by one in front of the chubby kids, their eyes lit up immediately.

"New fish skin!"

"I want to buy this."

"I want this one, it has pearls."

...

The 10 dresses were snatched up by the chubby little ones in no time. Of course, the required amount of gold coins was not reduced at all.

Gu Xi secretly checked the fish-raising system's favorability rating and found that the favorability ratings of all the fish had been raised to over 60, but it was very difficult to increase them after reaching 60.

Seeing this, Gu Xi closed the fish-raising system with some regret.

Gu Xi: It seems this is the only way we can go this time.
