"......"

"......"

Quiet!

The scene was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Nima, take the corner by disassembling the [Boat Girl] directly, and use the smallest and thinnest version to take the corner?

This must be a trick that only a master could come up with, right?

"Holy crap..."

"disintegration?"

"Damn, he's going to make a killing with this ice ship!"

"Incredible... Absolutely incredible..."

"I've never seen a corner like this before!"

"......"

After a period of silence, a heated discussion broke out on the [Ship Alliance] forum.

Even the examiners, who had seen their share of ups and downs, looked at Yang Fan with admiration.

It's not uncommon to pass exams using [Talent], but few people can truly master the art of using [Talent] and [Ship Girl] traits in creative ways...

"hiss..."

"This guy's exaggerating a bit..."

Unlike the others, Zheng Hao was more concerned about the appearance of the captain's cabin that the Ice Storm had just revealed.

It seems that Yang Fan was riding on the girl's back, holding onto her pigtails to "sail" the boat.

This is different from the driving mode where the "Devil" was pressing down on Mo Yurou, facing her head.

"perhaps..."

"Each [ship girl] has a different driving mode?"

As he was speculating, Yang Fan had already looked toward the final assessment point: the [Reef Area].

【Reef Area】: As the name suggests, this is the area in the Black Sea where reefs are not visible.

The seawater here is so dark due to pollution, reefs, and other reasons that it's impossible to see what's underneath.

The lower part of the ship sinks into the Black Sea. If, without careful attention, it strikes a sharp reef, causing the lower part of the hull to crack and seawater to seep in... then the navigator's voyage will be in grave danger!

"Cough cough~"

"Now, let's begin the last exam!"

"【Reef Area】Water Crossing Test!"

"We all know that the sea is ever-changing, and the sea areas have all sorts of appearances. The [Reef Area] is an area that almost every [Ship Girl] has to navigate!"

"When facing it, we [Navigators] need to navigate carefully, distinguish between collisions in the area, and assist the [Ship Girl] to leave the [Reef Area] as quickly as possible!"

"This assessment requires seafarers to possess exceptional insight and judgment!"

"Candidates, please lead the [Boat Girl] away from the [Reef Area] within 3 minutes!"

The examiner's voice echoed across the sea.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The sea breeze blows across the dark reef area, lifting layers of black water.

This time, Yang Fan didn't rush to set sail; it seemed he was genuinely observing the situation beneath the surface of the sea.

Meanwhile, on the [Ship Union] platform, a group of examinees craned their necks, nervously looking towards the sea.

This assessment can be considered the most difficult of all the assessments.

Even if you have a talent, apart from talents like Metallization that strengthen the ship's hull, who would dare to recklessly charge into the Reef Zone?

"As expected, it has to be the [Reef Area]..."

"See? Even Young Master Yang has to think twice!"

"God help me, I hope I can avoid the hidden reefs during my assessment later!"

"Haha~ You'll probably fail the first two questions!"

"......"

Quiet whispers arose as Zheng Hao stared thoughtfully at the sea, his eyes flickering, as if he had already come up with a solution.

"Zheng Hao..."

"The first two items shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"What's your plan for this [reef area]?"

Mo Yurou also looked worriedly at the black sea. Zheng Hao smiled and made a side flip gesture: "It's simple, just reduce the collision area!"

"ah?"

"Reduce the collision area?"

"If the bottom of the boat is too big and it's easy to collide with reefs, wouldn't it be better to make the bottom of the boat a corner of the side?"

"Is...is this even possible?"

"Maybe you could give it a try~"

Zheng Hao blinked, keeping everyone in suspense.

His gaze gradually moved beyond the sea and landed on a ship called "Ship Alliance" on the opposite side.

On the ship, Zhou Hang's figure gradually appeared, his eyes narrowed as he observed the movements in the Black Sea.

"Oh~"

"He really came!"

His gaze sharpened!

Zheng Hao knew that Zhou Hang would definitely come to assess him today.

To go to the [First Sea Gathering], he had to take an assessment, and the examiners for this assessment were actually from the [Merchant Ship Alliance].

They will discover some outstanding navigators to provide high-quality drivers for some death races.

Zhou Hang will use his sailing skills here to win the favor of the examiners, laying the groundwork for his future participation in the [Merchant Ship Black Race].

As for the Merchant Shipping Alliance...

Coincidentally, there was a ship that Zheng Hao was determined to get: a "ship girl"!

"It seems..."

"I'll have to show a little bit of my underwear later..."

"I want that examiner to put me on the shortlist of qualified candidates too..."

His fingers tapped incessantly on the gunwale.

"Click~"

"Click~"

Suddenly!

Within the long-silent Reef Zone, the sound of ice cracking echoed!

"【Ice Storm】!"

"Transform!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

The once-rotating propeller suddenly turned into ice and fell into the sea. The ice vapor at the bottom of the 【Ice Storm】 surged and slowly flattened from the slender, pointed shape into a smooth, square ice surface.

A pointed ship, shaped like a long, rectangular sheet of paper, lay out on the sea.
