"Zheng...Zheng Hao?!"

"......"

Upon hearing that voice, Jiang Yao felt inexplicably dazed.

Based on my intuition, none of the "boat girls" actually felt any aversion towards Zheng Hao.

Even if she was Zhou Hang's mentor!

After all, no ship girl could help but admire a navigator who is so skilled at sailing.

This reflects the [Boat Girl's] own desire for racing glory.

Because of her stance, Jiang Yao suppressed the restlessness in her heart for a long time.

Even now, she suppressed the dazed feeling in her heart and calmly asked, "What do you want with me? Don't you know I'm Zhou Hang's mentor?!"

"Tsk..."

"What are you saying? So what if you're Zhou Hang's mentor? Zhou Hang's aunt is now working for the Zheng family!"

"you..."

"What exactly is the purpose of this phone call?!"

"It's very simple..."

"I know you want the [Alpha Endurance Potion], I... can give it to you!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yao's expression immediately hardened, and her heart skipped a beat.

but...

After the initial shock, her expression gradually turned cold.

"Speak..."

What are your requirements?

"Good, good, good! It's so comfortable talking to smart people! I only have two requirements!"

"you say!"

"First, tell me the details of the [Swamp Area Adventure Race]!"

"Secondly... after you obtain the potion, you must leave Zhou Hang and go to the Zheng Family in the Mountain and Sea Region. My Zheng Family will give you absolute support and assist you in researching the new potion! Once the research is successful, the Zheng Family will help you promote the potion, making your name resound throughout every sea region!"

"Of course... the sales commission for this medicine is 60/40! The Zheng family gets 60%, and you get 40%!"

What do you think...?

On the other end of the phone, Zheng Hao's voice was languid.

He seemed completely unafraid that Jiang Yao would hang up and refuse, the light tapping of his fingers echoing through the phone.

"you..."

"you..."

"......"

Jiang Yao pursed her lips and hesitated.

Wasn't her purpose in helping Zhou Hang simply to obtain the [Alpha Endurance Potion]?

However, in the past, she wanted both personal gain and favors.

Now that the benefits are right in front of her, it would be a lie to say she's not tempted!

"Hello..."

"Pharmacist Jiang, there's no need to work so hard in life! Think about it, if you and the Zheng family join forces and develop the medicine, won't those old men from the [Pharmacist Ship Family] regret mistreating you?"

"Go to the Zheng family, and I guarantee that they will treat you like a treasure!"

"But... look at yourself now?"

"Your apprentice is having a tough time in the competition, how much worry do you have to worry about? You're a ship repairman from the Ship Repair Tower Association... Do you think you should waste your life on someone who always fails?"

"Besides..."

"How does this loser treat you?"

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Zheng Hao's sudden words completely shook Jiang Yao's resolve.

You don't need to degrade yourself...

What do you think?

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

The sea breeze carried the man's persuasive voice, and Jiang Yao's expression grew even more confused.

yes!

Faced with a possibility that no longer exists, what is Zhou Hang persisting in?

Why wouldn't she take the easy path right in front of her?

Why continue to support Zhou Hang?

I'm smitten!

I'm definitely tempted!

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

Swallowing hard, Jiang Yao composed herself and said, "The first condition is nothing... I can tell you now! It's about... about the respect that a [ship girl] has for a [navigator]."

"oh?"

"I didn't expect you to be so generous..."

"That's the area of ​​[Swamp Domain - Swaying Spider Forest]."

"It's said that due to the unique terrain of the sea trees there, a sea forest has formed. In that forest, the air is filled with spider webs and poisonous mist. Because it's a swamp, the movement speed is very slow, and once you enter it, you are very likely to be ambushed by mutated sea spiders!"

"Of course...this isn't the worst of it!"

"I heard that the nearly 10,000-square-meter sea forest has identical scenery, making it difficult to determine where you are and extremely easy to get lost. Most of the videotapes show the [navigator] who sailed in there, and no matter how hard they try, they can't figure it out..."

Jiang Yao recalled the information about the [Shaking Spider Forest] and recounted what had happened there, as if it were a common Taoist practice.

"I see..."

"What about the original navigator who successfully left? Didn't he leave behind any videotapes?"

Zheng Hao's suspicious voice came through, and Jiang Yao shook her head decisively.

"That guy was the first to come out, and he brought a huge amount of resin with him. He immediately arranged a marriage with the [Pharmacist Ship Family]. As for the recording, he seemed to have some confidence, and he turned off the recording source within an hour of entering."

"The family asked him about the secret to leaving the Shaking Spider Forest, but he always gave vague answers, as if he wanted to use this to get rid of the Medicine Ship Family."

"However, because of the marriage alliance, there is no concern that he will be able to leave, so the matter has been shelved."

"I just never expected that this guy would actually die..."

"The secret of the Shaking Spider Forest has thus been completely sealed away..."

"I see..."

"......"
