"What happened?!"

"All the ship girls stopped at the finish line in the first zone?"

"wrong!"

"The Möbius Ring has moved, and the Seaweed has moved too!"

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

"Will the champion of the first division be chosen from among them?!"

The speedboat, hovering high in the sky, now hovered directly above the clouds above the [transfer station]. Plum branches stretched their necks from above, constantly looking down and passionately providing commentary.

"just..."

"It must be some kind of talent or shipkeeping skill that has caused all the ship girls to freeze in a daze?"

Li Mao pondered, looking thoughtfully at the other "boat girls" who hadn't yet made a move.

Upon closer inspection, apart from the [Möbius Ring] and the [Seaweed], the remaining four [ship girls] show absolutely no sign of moving!

"oh?"

"Li Mao, you think so too?"

"This scene reminds me of the Thunder Clan's [War Thunder]... Isn't the [static field] they release designed to cause ships within a certain range to become unbalanced and chaotic?"

"But there wasn't any lightning just now, was there?"

"That's true~"

"Perhaps it's some other skill?"

"Speaking of the Thunder family, this year... because of last year's World Championship qualification bonus, they can skip the preliminary rounds. Perhaps... we'll see them at the Giant City Ruins Tournament..."

"etc!"

"The Devil Ship! The Devil Ship has moved too!"

As the two chatted idly, the seemingly stagnant "Devil" suddenly jerked its stern, launching itself out of the water in a catapult-like motion...

......

"Zheng Hao?!"

"Zheng Hao!!!"

Meanwhile, in the "Captain's Cabin" of the [Devil], a group of ship girls had already surrounded Zheng Hao, who was losing consciousness.

Mo Yurou held Zheng Hao in her arms, her expression gradually changing from excitement to tension.

"Zheng Hao! Are you alright?"

"Zheng Hao...you...you're scaring me!"

Little Boat Girl had no idea about any "round table meeting," but with tears welling up in her eyes, she thought Zheng Hao had some kind of health problem.

"us..."

Should we call a doctor?

"How about... how about we stop the match?"

Bai Huanhuan was clearly the most flustered one in the crowd, and she raised her phone to dial a number.

[Analyzing the Tassius database...]

Zheng Hao is currently in stable condition, but his condition is suspected to be due to psychological interference...

Luo Lin took two steps forward, glanced at Zheng Hao's condition, and her expression gradually calmed down: "Don't panic! He's being mentally interfered with... His opponent probably wants to temporarily eliminate Zheng Hao..."

"after all..."

"Without his [Demon Ship], there's naturally no threat..."

Rowling spoke casually, her words filled with the disdain of a high-level "ship girl" for a low-level one.

To be honest.

She was a little annoyed.

Why is Mo Yurou chosen as Zheng Hao's [first ship girl]?

Just because she was the first to know Zheng Hao?

Now that the opponent has pulled this tactic, what can they do without Zheng Hao's [Devil Ship]?

She looked at Mo Yurou with a scrutinizing gaze, "Hurry up and get to the transfer station. Maybe with some luck, you can make it into the top five and get the [Magnet] on board, so you don't fall too far behind..."

He spoke with absolute certainty.

Can...

To Luo Lin's surprise, upon hearing that Zheng Hao was alright, Mo Yurou breathed a sigh of relief and silently hugged Zheng Hao tightly.

"Don't worry..."

"I remember everything you told me..."

"This is just our starting point, not our destination..."

"After so many times, I've learned so much from you... The [Demon] you've cared for can now stand on its own! I'll let everyone know... I'm worthy of you!"

"Because... I'm your [first ship girl]!!!"

"Boom!"

"Rumble—"

Inside the once-silent captain's cabin, the temperature suddenly and rapidly increased.

Luo Lin looked at Mo Yurou with a strange expression.

At this moment...

She seemed to see Zheng Hao!

Yes!

The silhouette of the "Little Boat Girl" in the black gauze dress at this moment inexplicably resembles Zheng Hao!

"【Launch Launch Start】!!!"

"Boom—"

Perfect!

With near-perfect temperature control and a speed approaching 200 RPM, the small boat surged forward like a monster!

"this..."

"So skilled?!"

Seeing this perfect maneuver, not only Luo Lin, but also Bai Huanhuan, Jian Qinghan, and Yan Rou were all taken aback! Watching Mo Yurou's autopilot was reminiscent of watching Zheng Hao!

......

"Oh? Your little boat girl has moved too..."

"I really don't understand you, why did you refuse [Number Two]?"

"Think about it carefully. If [Number Two] were in the game right now, who could beat you?!"

In the roundtable discussion, Klein coldly observed the current situation.

He wasn't confident in himself, but he had absolute confidence in his assessment of "Number One" and the "chip"!

With perfect numbers and perfect big data analysis, how could he possibly lose?

"I remember..."

"I gave Tascius Kale a piece of advice back then..."

"I'm going to say the same thing to you now!"
