......

Two minutes later.

"Master...Master...this way please, Steward Zhou has been waiting for you for a long time..."

Led by servants, Zheng Hao carried Bai Huanhuan all the way to a luxurious VIP room.

Inside the VIP room, Zhou Sheng had already brewed tea and was forcing an awkward smile as he looked at Zheng Hao: "Young Master Zheng... I didn't expect... you actually came!"

"And...you really want to participate in the Black Ship Race?"

Even now, Zhou Sheng still wonders if Zheng Hao is joking.

Zhou Sheng guessed that when he asked for the Gold Card, he wanted a 20% discount. He never imagined he'd actually come to participate in the Black Ship Race, and specifically, to pilot that Death Ship Girl?!

There's no need for that!

There's really no need for that!

Zheng Hao has neither a lack of money nor a lack of technical skills, so what is he after in participating in the "Black Ship Race"?

"I'm really going!"

"You can register me now!"

"Also, I'm going to pilot the [Disaster]!"

He placed the girl in his arms on the bed in the room, and she looked at him with a strange expression.

Zheng Hao remained calm.

"You..."

"Young Master Zheng, I always thought you were joking. You're going to pilot the [Disaster Ship]? This..."

"What, it's not allowed?"

"It's not that it's impossible... it's just her... she's killed six navigators... you know that, right? If something happens to her, even if she sells herself, it won't appease Patriarch Zheng's wrath, will it?"

Zhou Sheng carefully considered his tone and tentatively looked at Zheng Hao.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Hao slammed his hand on the table, "It's alright! I'll sign a waiver stating that I have nothing to do with you! Is that... alright?"

"this..."

"Since you've already brought it up..."

"That's fine then..."

"However... [Disaster] has already appeared on today's auction list as material... I can't very well withdraw it... How about you switch to a [Ship Girl] to participate in the competition?"

Zhou Sheng scratched his head; he was so embarrassed he could practically dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

He remembered that he had requested that the [Disaster] be placed in the decomposition warehouse first.

I just glanced at the auction list, how did it get on the list?

He scratched his head, unable to understand how such a mistake could have occurred at the auction.

But Zheng Hao, standing to the side, had a shifty expression.

"really..."

"According to the original plot, the [Disaster] would be auctioned off as material! But Zhou Hang had just become Jiang Yao's apprentice, and Jiang Yao bought the [Disaster] for him to use as a test subject!"

"Through these back and forth, Zhou Hang discovered the secret of the [Disaster]!"

"Finally, because he couldn't select [Shark Tooth] in the 'Ship Girl Pool,' he could only take [Disaster] to the 'Black Ship Race,' where he unexpectedly shone brightly..."

"The plot... hasn't changed because I used the [Gold Card] to leave behind the [Disaster]?"

"Damn it, Zhou Hang's luck is still strong!"

After a moment of silence, Zheng Hao slammed his fist on the table!

"no!"

"I only want her! I've decided on her!"

"Your auction house broke your promise to me first, and now you've put the Disaster Ship up for auction! Manager Zhou, you should at least offer something in return!!"
