"That won't work..."

"I refuse to believe it!"

"Why can Liu Ruyan install this thing, but Mo Yurou can't?"

"Yu Rou? Yu Rou?"

"How about I try again?"

Holding up the [Shattered Star], Zheng Hao shamelessly begged again.

"don't want!"

"The infusion tubes are deformed!"

"Well..."

The other person lay on the bed, turned to the side, and showed no intention of opening the "guide port" again. Helpless, Zheng Hao could only scratch his head and unfold the [Shattered Star] scroll.

The outline of the black ship on the scroll actually looks somewhat similar to the "Devil Ship".

If you look closely...

In a daze, Zheng Hao saw a woman with red hair leaning against the bow of the boat, smiling at him.

"Why?"

I instinctively reached out my hand.

With a "buzz," the hand actually followed the woman's smiling face and reached inside the drawing!

Holy crap!!!

Zheng Hao cried out in surprise, and then his hand inexplicably trembled.

Because... because he actually felt the outline of a pair of shoes inside the blueprint.

"Buzz~"

After the pair of "shoes" were taken out, the blueprints immediately twisted and shattered, turning into clumps of black powder that dissipated on the table.

In Zheng Hao's hand, there appeared a pair of very old and tall black high heels.

The high heels are made entirely of black leather and adorned with many sparkling small diamonds, making them look very luxurious.

"this..."

Zheng Hao was stunned when he saw this thing.

"Those black high heels? Could they be the real 'Star Shattering' shoes?"

While he was puzzled, he held the two high heels and looked at Mo Yurou's bare little feet.

"Yu Rou?"

"......"

The other person didn't speak, and Zheng Hao tried to put a high heel on Mo Yurou's foot.

Unexpected!

Just like magnets attracting each other, once the instep and the shoe upper came into contact, the straps of the black high heels somehow bound themselves to the snow-white instep.

"Hmm..."

"Zheng Hao... what are you doing..."

Before she could even utter the word "ma," Mo Yurou looked at the heavy high heels on her feet and was momentarily stunned!

"Why..."

"What...what is this?"

"Yu Rou... don't move, let me check your attributes..."

Grabbing Mo Yurou's jade-like foot, Zheng Haoqie's black ring displayed a line of text: [Shattered Star Binding Successful, Permanently Increases Propeller Speed ​​by 1 Point!]

"Holy crap..."

"This thing really is a shoe?"

Zheng Hao didn't understand, but he expressed great amazement.

Is this what they call "growth-level items"?

Will we see an upgraded version of the "sail" in the future, which is actually a bikini or a school swimsuit?

"......"

With her mind racing, Zheng Hao was about to say something when Mo Yurou's face flushed slightly as he grabbed her foot.

"Zheng Hao..."

"Actually... what happened just now wasn't your fault..."

"It's my fault... If I had modified it a bit more before, if the guide tube had been thicker... perhaps..."

"That's not your problem! Being rough is no good!"

"But..."

"It's alright! Those high heels were actually [Shattered Star]... I don't know why... but you definitely received an attribute boost..."

"ah?"

"Then...then does that mean I can't take it off whenever I want from now on?"

"this..."

Her slender legs were crossed under the black veil, and the black high heels made Mo Yurou's legs look exceptionally long, thin and fair.

"Well..."

"Actually, it's okay if you don't take it off..."

"ah?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing... Since this isn't for competitions, I guess I don't have to wear it, right?"

"By the way... Yu Rou, we'll probably be leaving the [Mountain and Sea Domain] soon. I need to use the [Magic Points] I got from this competition to boost your stats! Close your eyes!"

"Oh, okay..."

Slumped on the boat, Mo Yurou closed her eyes and could feel the contract ring pressing against her chest.

"Buzz~"

Immediately, the panel for the [Demon Ship] popped up.

Zheng Hao scanned the panel data and immediately squandered all thirty [Magic Points]!

"Let's leave the propeller speed aside for now and focus on improving the other stats!"

"30 points, averaging 5 points per item!"

As soon as her mind focused on it, Mo Yurou felt her chest being pressed down, and countless tadpole-like essences of energy surged into her "guide tube," causing her whole body to heat up instantly.

【Devil's Ship】

Propeller speed: 54 (-3) (+1)

Lateral stability: 50 (-2)

[Sail Mist Wind Capacity: 50 (+6)]

Hardness: 50 (+10)

Anchor stability: 50 (-2)

[Range: 50 (-3)]

[Overall Ranking of Ship Girl: D+]

Upon seeing the new panel, Zheng Hao's face lit up with delight.

"really!"

"This intensity has reached level D+!"

"If all the stats could be pushed to the 55-60 range... maybe the rating could reach C-..."

"However, at the current rate of improvement... [Demon Ship] will reach C-rank after the next match... or even higher!"

Excitedly slapping the panel, Zheng Hao was completely unaware of Mo Yurou's somewhat infatuated gaze.

"Thump~"

She hugged Zheng Hao tightly, exhaling a warm breath.
