"how?"

"Do you think my sister isn't good enough for you?"

Upon mentioning his younger sister, Zhou Suxin, Zhou Zhong's expression immediately changed.

The initial dejection and disappointment suddenly turned into a cold and serious demeanor.

"Well..."

"Do you see any of the boat girls around me suffering?"

Zheng Hao smiled helplessly.

Zhou Zhong glanced at Mo Yurou and Bai Huanhuan for a while, both of whom were well-fed and delicate by Zheng Hao. He then nodded, "Come with me... I just heard you say you're also planning to participate in the [Two-Star Navigator] assessment?"

The ship's hull unfolds.

This time, the group boarded the Magnet ship of Magnet Snow and headed towards the Zhou family's sea area.

The afterglow of the sunset and the sea breeze rushed towards us.

Zheng Hao leaned against the ship's railing, his expression calm: "Wasn't it said that only two-star navigators could participate in the [Major Competitions]? Since my goal is the [World Championships], I definitely have to go for the assessment..."

"The [Two-Star Navigator] qualification exam...?"

"That might be a bit difficult, but for you... it shouldn't be too hard!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhong merely glanced at Zheng Hao and offered no further explanation.

Zheng Hao, however, became interested.

"Hey Zhou, how did you pass the test back then?"

"Easy! I used the [Dark Night] to spot the shadow of the exam venue and passed in no time!"

"Damn! It's hanging on the wall!"

"Never mind, I didn't ask..."

"By the way, have you received your [Samsung Navigator] certificate yet?"

"It was almost there, but now it's gone, isn't it?"

As they were talking, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Zhou Zhong suddenly looked at Zheng Hao with a gloomy expression, and Zheng Hao scratched his head awkwardly.

The certificate assessment in the world of 【Magic Star】 is actually somewhat similar to the "Penguin Racer" setting of the previous world of Earth.

To participate in large-scale competitions, you must obtain a Two-Star Navigator certificate. However, once you have a Two-Star Navigator certificate, you can no longer participate in smaller competitions.

The official rules don't allow you to smurf in the newbie zone, just like in a racing game where you can't go to the newbie channel even if you have an "advanced driving license".

The 【Samsung Navigator】is the threshold for entering the 【World Championship】.

It is said that to become a 【Three-Star Navigator】, one needs to be in the top three of the 【Small】, 【Medium】, and 【Large】 competitions, or be first in three 【Medium】 competitions, plus two 【Ship Girls】 to apply.

As for the titles of "Four-Star Navigator" and "Five-Star Navigator," they are basically honorary titles.

Only navigators who distinguish themselves in the World Championships and Expeditions will be awarded equivalent certificates by the Shipping Association.

Zheng Hao's father, Zheng Yunlong, has a "Four-Star Navigator" certificate on his bedside table.

This was once something that "the original owner, Zheng Hao" was very proud of.

When Zheng Hao thought of Zheng Yunlong, he inexplicably thought of the story of the Three Kings.

To ease the awkwardness.

He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhou Zhong: "By the way... your father just said that I should give [Sea King] a good beating, what? [Mountain King] and [Sea King] have a grudge?"

"this..."

"It's not exactly a secret..."

"The Three Kings... you already know that they are people who made a name for themselves in the World Championship from three small sea areas. So let me ask you, what do you think those big families will do when a 'Distinguished Navigator' with no one to rely on makes a name for himself on the big stage?"

Zhou Zhong made a casual joke, and Zheng Hao's expression changed!

"Will they extend an olive branch?"

"That's right!"

"To be honest, the rise of the Three Kings was also inseparable from those families. The Cloud Dragon King, with his pride, didn't bother to pledge allegiance to a powerful family, but the Purple and Green Sword Family still had a ship girl willing to follow him..."

"My father, [King of the Far Mountain], was the same; he won over the [Magnet Family] with his personal charm."

"While our two families' rise over the years has been partly due to the assistance of powerful clans, at least we've risen independently. [Pluto] is different..."

As he said this, a hint of disdain was clearly visible in Zhou Zhong's eyes.

"oh?"

"Has Pluto completely sided with the powerful families?"

Zheng Hao guessed, and Zhou Zhong nodded.

"Yes..."

"That guy became a lackey of the [Spring Ship Family]. He voluntarily changed his surname from Hai to Collins. He even had his own child, barely an adult, used as a tool by the Collins Family just to get cooperation with [SS-class] ship girls..."

"Therefore, my father looked down on him very much..."

"hiss..."

"I never knew there was such a story behind this..."

"Did he choose to live off someone else? Being a kept man isn't so bad..."

Zheng Hao shrugged, unconcerned.

Eating and using the food of rich women, isn't that wonderful?

Glancing at Zhou Zhong, Zheng Hao looked intentionally or unintentionally at [Dark Night], who looked like a "night owl," and said, "Well, didn't you also choose to join a big family?"

"Heh~"

Don't compare me to Poseidon!

"I only went to cooperate with the Dark Night family to do various auxiliary work for the sake of Dark Night. In the Dark Night family, they at least treat me like the son of the King of Far Mountain!"

"At best, I was just making an equal exchange with the powerful families."

"But... if you saw Poseidon's child, you'd know what true frustration really means..."

Is that so?
