The sound from the microphone gradually faded away, and both of them remained silent for a while.

After a long while, Zheng Hao took the initiative to extend the invitation.

"Pharmacist Jiang, I truly believe you don't need to waste your time on Zhou Hang..."

"Be kinder to yourself. Think about the days when you were pampered by everyone in the Zheng family, and you devoted yourself wholeheartedly to researching potions. Now think about what kind of life you're living now?"

That's all I wanted to say!

"If you've got the idea, come find me at [Azure Domain - Ship Girl Care Shop]!"

"I will stay here for three more days, and my words will remain valid for those three days!"

"Beep~"

"Beep beep beep..."

The call was disconnected.

But Jiang Yao stood on the deck, phone in hand, in a daze for a long time.

"Knock knock knock~"

When the door to the captain's cabin was pushed open, Liu Ruyan and Zhou Hang looked at him anxiously: "Master! How's the matter you asked about? I... I feel really unwell right now!"

"That's right! Jiang Yao! Zhou Hang ended up like this because he helped you steal the potion! If you don't help him, do you have any conscience?!"

"Master! You'll definitely help me, right?!"

"......"

Under the intense gaze of two people who were "morally blackmailing" him to the extreme, Jiang Yao was still quite hesitant.

Okay!

Now I'm not hesitating at all!

She looked at the sea with a gloomy expression, where a [Pharmacist Ship] was rapidly projected onto the waves.

With a loud "boom!"

The [Pharmacist Ship] burst through the waves and surged straight toward the [Boat Girl Maintenance Shop].

"Hey! Master! Master! Where are you going?"

"I'm your only disciple! You can't just abandon me!"

"Jiang Yao! You're abandoning Zhou Hang, how can you face him?!"

There were voices both playing the "bad cop" and the "good cop" at the back of the boat.

But at this moment!

Jiang Yao's cold voice suddenly rang out!

Don't try to morally blackmail me!

"I take on apprentices because I need them to help me with my work! And what about you? After taking on an apprentice, did you even bother to make a single potion? You spent my money and spent all your time being all lovey-dovey with Liu Ruyan!"

"I'm paying you to work, not to enjoy yourself!"

"That's fine!"

"Didn't I say during the match that I couldn't make contact? What do you take your teacher for?! Didn't I say that if I lost, I could buy medicine?! You insisted on shortening your lifespan, and then you blame me?"

"It's a favor that I helped you contact the [Pharmacist Ship Family], but whether or not they help you is my duty!"

"Zhou Hang! From today onwards!"

"Our master-disciple relationship has come to an end!!!"

"Boom!"

The Medicine Ship, riding the waves, gradually disappeared into the sea.

Zhou Hang and Liu Ruyan stared in disbelief as the [Pharmacist Ship] sailed away!

......

At the same time.

After finishing his call, Zheng Hao leaned against the side of the ship.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my ear.

[Congratulations on successfully severing the master-disciple relationship between Zhou Hang and Jiang Yao!]

[You have successfully recruited Jiang Yao into the Zheng family's camp, stripping the protagonist of two strands of his destiny!]

Your ship girl "Magnet" has +1 potential!

[Attention! Zhou Hang, the Chosen One, has only two strands of destiny's fortune remaining, which will be obtained upon defeating him!]

A new Chosen One has been born!

As a series of messages came in, Zheng Hao's lips curled up, and he had a strange feeling that "President Liben" was trying to win over the "virtuous wife" of an incompetent employee.

"Depend on..."

"Is it really that simple, just a few words from me?"

"As expected... the villain's 'NTR' is the strongest!"
