"You're here..."

"Another stroke of great luck..."

Listening to the system's voice in his ear, Zheng Hao remained calm, wondering how long it would take to drain Zhou Hang dry.

"perhaps..."

"If I collect most of the parts for [Shattered Star] first, he'll be finished?"

"......"

"Cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, a cough broke his train of thought.

"Miscellaneous...miscellaneous fish..."

"My skills...my skills aren't bad, are they?"

With a slightly flushed face, Zhou Suxin staggered and leaned against the armrest next to Zheng Hao. Her cheerleader uniform was already covered in scabs, and she looked at Zheng Hao with excitement and admiration.

"That's amazing..."

"I never expected that you would showcase all the techniques you hadn't learned before during the competition. Even the 'Blade Overtake,' which I've never taught you, you executed flawlessly on your first try..."

"You are a... truly amazing [ship girl]!"

Zheng Hao looked solemnly at Zhou Suxin and smiled slightly at her.

"That..."

"Those small fry..."

"You said it yourself~ So I can join your fleet now, right? You should know... I've never begged anyone before... You should kneel down now and say to me: Thank you, Second Miss..."

Zhou Suxin was proud and concerned about saving face.

Zheng Hao looked at her, shook his head helplessly, but still walked towards Zhou Suxin, bowed slightly, and forced an exaggerated smile: "Thank you, Miss! Please... you must join my team!"

"you..."

"you!"

It seemed unexpected that Zheng Hao would actually cooperate with him this time.

Zhou Suxin's eyes inexplicably reddened, and she gripped his hand tightly: "I...I do..."

"ha?"

"What the heck is this touching scene that's almost like a marriage proposal?"

Zheng Haogang wanted to make a comment.

With a "plop".

Zhou Suxin's body went limp and she collapsed into his arms.

"Hello?"

"Hello!?"

He patted Zhou Suxin's shoulder, his blue and red eyelashes drooping, seemingly showing some pain and weakness.

"Puff puff puff~"

far away.

Yu Wen had already driven the [Energy Storage] away from the scene, scanning the area from afar. Zhou Zhong and Zhou Yuanshan, carrying a small boat, were heading this way.

"Zheng Hao!"

"My sister must have overexerted herself!"

"Hold her for now, we'll find a ship mechanic to come and do maintenance and repairs right away..."

After Zhou Zhong rushed onto the [Magnet] in a few strides, he glanced at Zhou Suxin with some heartache.

He hurriedly dialed the phone...

immediately!

This guy looked at Zheng Hao with the stern expression of an older brother on his sister's wedding day: "If you ever dare to treat my sister badly in the future, I'll definitely find a boat to run you over!"

"Well..."

"What I'm saying is, do you think it's not easy for me to drive a boat?"

Zheng Hao shrugged helplessly.

"Kid..."

"You're Zheng Yunlong's son, right?"

Suddenly!

Zhou Yuanshan, who had been silent all along, also looked at Zheng Hao with a deep gaze.

"oh?"

"【Prince of the Distant Mountains】, do you know my father?"

Zheng Hao was somewhat surprised.

According to the plot, the current head of the Zhou family will not appear much in the later stages, and he will basically be sidelined by Zhou Hang.

how?

Does he still have a relationship with Zheng Yunlong?

"Hmph..."

"Your father was once the [Cloud Dragon King]! One of the three kings who emerged from obscurity in the world championships back then... It's just a pity... they've all vanished without a trace now..."

"ha?"

"There's also this [hidden plot]?"

"What?"

"Oh no! There's such a thing..."

"Um..."

"I see his shadow in you... I respect Su Xin's choice to go with you. I hope that one day, you can lead her to shine on the world stage..."

That's all I wanted to say...

"She's with you...at least, I saw her smile..."

Zhou Yuanshan suddenly seemed to have aged several years. He stared blankly at Zheng Hao for a while, then patted him on the shoulder and took Zhou Suxin from his arms: "Suxin, rest at home for now... Once her injuries have healed enough... I'll have her come to you!"

"oh..."

He watched blankly as Zhou Yuanshan carried Zhou Suxin off the boat.

"Zheng Hao..."

"I'll see you off..."

Zhou Zhongyi pointed to the distance of the [Magnet], where a gray ship hull had appeared at some point.

This ship is also a small vessel.

It is only 5.3 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and the mast is 4.2 meters high.

The hull looked like a folded piece of gray paper, entirely gray, and appeared quite frail.

but...

When Zheng Hao and Zhou Zhong jumped onto the ship, Zheng Hao noticed something unusual about it.

It's very hard!

Extremely hard!

It looks like it's made of paper, but if you put even a little pressure on your feet, your soles will feel numb and painful when you walk.

"Your ship?"

Looking at the small gray boat, Zhou Zhong smiled and said, "This is my secret weapon, the [Dark Night Ship]..."

"Normally she wouldn't easily show her face, but after seeing you command the [Blade Overtake], she offered to see you off... Ship girls still have a lot of respect for capable [Navigators]!"
