"Um?"

"So this is a step from the [D] rank ship girl category towards [C] rank?"

Zheng Hao was not surprised by the changes in Mo Yurou's data.

As the ship girl with the strongest potential among the [Demon Starfish], Mo Yurou's characteristic is that each attribute gains +5 in a single competition. However, this time, the collective +6 is likely due to the bonus from plundering Zhou Hang's destiny luck.

"Perhaps the 50 Magic Points from first place can help Mo Yurou address her weaknesses..."

"No...we still need to leave some [hardness] for Bai Huanhuan to improve..."

With a flicker in his eyes, Zheng Hao glanced at Bai Huanhuan.

The other person was applying [Glacier Glide Potion] to their body, just like applying sunscreen.

"hiss..."

"Now I finally understand why Dad never gave me [Magic Points]..."

"That's because he doesn't even have enough to spend on himself!"

Upon careful consideration...

As the second generation of the "Cloud Dragon King," if he wants to raise an "S-class ship girl," why doesn't he just ask his father for "magic points"?

but!

It's not that simple at all.

How many ship girls does a navigator need to support?

Even if it's his own son, the old man doesn't have any extra "magic points" to give him...

Self-reliance and raising one's own "ship girls" is the unspoken rule of this world.

"Waaaaah..."

"Zheng Hao, I... I shouldn't have made a fuss about letting you win a prize..."

"But every time I get into that state, I can't control myself..."

"I..."

"I......"

The light in her arms looked like a wronged little deer, crying and clinging tightly to her.

Zheng Hao patted Mo Yurou's head helplessly: "Okay...it has nothing to do with you. I just didn't expect Zhou Hang to pull this stunt...it's alright now..."

"......"

"that..."

"Contestant #27, if you don't start your boat soon, the fourth contestant who came later will be setting sail..."

It seems the referees simply couldn't stomach the dog food anymore.

He pointed to Yang Fan, who was already changing into a "boat girl," and looked speechless.

Good grief, are you taking advantage of me because I didn't bring my [Boat Girl] today?

"Well..."

"Excuse me..."

"Bai Huanhuan, how is she?"

Turning his head to look at Bai Huanhuan in the corner, he saw that she had already applied the [Glacier Glide Potion], and her skin was dazzlingly white.

"Okay, all done~"

"The hull has been deployed!"

"clear!"

After the white skeletal torso shone brightly, a large skeletal ship appeared out of nowhere on the glacier.

Unlike last time, this time the entire skeleton of the [Disaster] was covered with a thin layer of frost, with a bluish ice layer covering the white bones.

Upon closer inspection, a faint red glow can be seen shimmering within the skeleton.

That's the amplification effect of [Glacier Glide Potion] and [Banshee's Veil (Physical Immunity)].

"alright..."

"Yu Rou... Jian Qinghan, you two go to the finish line and wait for me!"

"Bai Huanhuan's boat can't carry many people, I'll finish the race as soon as possible!"

Zheng Hao patted Mo Yurou's back lightly, then strode out of the Captain's Cabin, skillfully jumped onto the skeleton of the Disaster Ship, and followed the snowflakes into the Bone Ball - Chassis.

"But..."

"Zheng Hao..."

"you..."

Mo Yurou was clearly still a little worried, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed.

"Snap~"

Suddenly!

A pair of large hands suddenly patted her shoulders, and a steady voice came: "Don't worry... he can still sail a boat even when he's blind. What can possibly stump him in the upcoming races?"

"Why?"

"Sister Qinghan?"

Looking back, Jian Qinghan's face was also covered in blood.

However, she remained silent throughout, her gaze fixed on the slowly departing [Disaster].

I think...

"He won't lose..."

He will end the Zhou family's reign as number one!

An unprecedentedly confident voice echoed in the captain's cabin. Mo Yurou stared blankly at Jian Qinghan, her face full of suspicion: "You... what happened between you?"

"How...how could you trust Zheng Hao so much?"

"nothing..."

Jian Qinghan gazed into the distance, his fingers hidden behind his back, expertly intertwining: [I just...I just admire his shipkeeping skills].

......

"Da da da~"

"Da da da~"

Dark clouds filled the sky, and raindrops continued to fall.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Unlike conventional ships that rely on propellers to start their hulls at sea.

By relying on "gliding" to reduce friction under the hull, Zheng Hao always felt a sense of security as if he hadn't "slowed down".

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The cold wind and snow lashed against the bony mast, causing the sails to billow.

Despite the fact that the [Disaster] only had a sail with a wind capacity of [89], after only a short while of sailing on the ice, the white skeleton that protruded in front of it displayed a value of [103]!

"Holy crap..."

"I'm starting to understand why fewer people are participating..."

"rain..."

"The rain accelerated the gliding, making the boat even more uncontrollable!"

"At least we're still at the glacier [transition point] now. Once we get to the second zone, accelerating on the ice track, if we don't navigate the corners smoothly, we'll probably crash into the wall on the spot..."
