"Oh? Other [Navigators]?"

Who is it?

After hearing Jian Qinghan's voice from outside the cabin, Zheng Hao opened the cabin door and looked up. He could see that next to the [Demon Ship], Yang Fan's [Ice Storm] was docked.

At this moment, Yang Fan stood on the deck of the [Ice Storm] and gave him an extremely sunny smile.

"Zheng Hao!"

"If I win this match!"

"We've agreed to venture into even bigger seas! What do you say?!"

"......"

"What kind of oath of friendship is that in shonen anime?"

Seeing the other person's smiling face, Zheng Hao immediately shook his head and was about to crawl back into the Captain's Cabin.

Suddenly!

Seeing him about to leave, Yang Fan's expression changed. He took a few steps closer, warily looking around, and pointed to a large ship girl in the distance. "Oh, right! Zheng Hao! I have something else to tell you..."

"What?"

Raising an eyebrow, Zheng Hao stopped what he was doing as he entered the boat.

"Before I came, I saw Zhou Hang and that He Chao talking about something..."

"Something feels off!"

"You and Zhou Hang don't get along, so you should watch out for that He Chao!"

Yang Fan looked at Zheng Hao with concern, which surprised Zheng Hao.

Good heavens!

Is this what it means to steal the benefits from the main characters' friends?

Yang Fan, who was originally there to encourage Zhou Hang, is now tipping him off?

"He Chao?"

"I remember he was a navigator who awakened the [B-rank talent] 'Rigidity', right?"

What does he want to do?

Frowning, Zheng Hao seemed lost in thought.

Yang Fan, however, didn't seem to care much. He pointed to Jian Qinghan on the nail plate and said, "Hey, why are you thinking so much? If I'm not mistaken, this should be the [Purple and Green Sword Ship] from your mother's side, right?"

"If you drive her on the field, you won't have to worry about so many things."

"no!"

Zheng Hao immediately shook his head and rejected Yang Fan's suggestion.

Mo Yurou must be his [first ship girl]. This is not only a promise from a man, but also an opportunity for her unlimited growth.

If you change your decisions every time you encounter a problem, what kind of navigator are you?

"Tsk..."

"You stubborn mule, I've done my best to help you anyway!"

"I won't let you win in the competition!"

With an air of being both a good rival and a good friend, Yang Fan stared at Zheng Hao for a long time before silently entering the driver's seat.

"Put-put-put!"

Just then, a familiar [D-class ship girl] also sailed over.

Turn your head and look!

It was none other than the [Exam Ship Girl] piloted by Zhou Hang.

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

At this moment, he had already opened the cabin door and was looking at Jian Qinghan, who stood proudly on the deck, with a look of vigilance and greed.

He had no idea what Yang Fan had just said to Zheng Hao; he just smiled knowingly.

"Yo~"

"Haven't seen you for a few days, and Young Master Zheng has already acquired an S-class ship girl?"

"As expected of the Zheng family! They have real strength!"

"Unlike us from humble backgrounds, who have to rack our brains just to get into the captain's cabin of some ship girls!"

There was a hint of sour sarcasm in his tone.

Zheng Hao smiled, completely unconcerned. He merely watched as Zhou Hang warily glanced at Jian Qinghan, a smirk playing on his lips: "Young Master Zhou, what do you want to say? Just say it!"

Haha~

"Easy! Young Master Zheng, do you dare to compete with me fairly and squarely at the First Sea Gathering using an E-rank ship girl?"

"oh?"

"Are you afraid I'll use an S-rank ship girl?"

"You! Just tell me if you dare or not?!"

Seemingly having his spine struck, Zhou Hang's face darkened.

He's scared!

He was genuinely afraid that Zheng Hao would use [S-class ship girls]!

According to his plan, Yun Yang's [S-rank ship girl] and Yang Fan's [A-rank ship girl], combined with their talents, will definitely secure a top-three spot.

They got the top two spots, so it didn't matter to me.

As the old servant has already said: the rewards for the first two places are nothing special, but the reward for the third place is a "growth-level" propeller component in the warehouse of the [Shan Hai Academy].

If he gets third place, he can then pursue Liu Ruyan!

He still has a chance to turn things around!

but...

The variable here lies with Zheng Hao!

If he were still driving Mo Yurou, I would definitely have a chance to compete with him for third place.

Can!

If this guy were to pilot an S-rank ship girl, what would he even be able to compete with?!

The top three spots are definitely going to be taken by those three!

"hehe..."

"You want me to not use [S-rank ship girls]?"

"sure!"

"Just tell me, what's the bet between us?"

Faced with Zhou Hang's provocation, Zheng Hao smiled indifferently.

Since I only aim for third place, I didn't plan to use the [Purple and Green Sword Ship].

Since Zhou Hang is here to provoke us, we can't let this go without taking some wool from this little fat sheep!

"you!"

"What else do you want to bet?"

As if still haunted by the previous incident of "stealing his aunt," Zhou Hang looked at Zheng Hao warily. Zheng Hao smiled slightly: "I remember... you brought an old servant out of the Zhou family, right?"

"I feel like I'm missing a lackey..."

"you!!!"

"you!!!"

"You even want to steal my servants and butler?"

"Tsk... Don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'robbery'? Didn't I just ask you to gamble with me to get it?"
