A damp sea breeze carrying the salty smell swept over us, and the fluorescent stripes on our kayak pants flickered in the moonlight.

"Luckily you stocked up on this inflatable boat in advance, otherwise we wouldn't know how to get out of the vehicle..." Chu Zhiqin patted her chest with great relief, then looked at the tires at the back of the RV.

"I was just taking precautions, I never expected things to develop to this point." Xi Xi inspected the car while reaching for the car repair toolbox next to her.

This is the repair kit she just obtained after spending half a day drawing it with the help of a magic pen. Although it cannot repair the major damage to the car body, it is more than enough to change a tire.

"However, I forgot about the air pump. Luckily, I drew an air pump when I was building the inflatable tent in the Mirage instance, otherwise I wouldn't have enough uses for the Divine Brush again..."

In the deep darkness of the night, the vast sea appeared as black as ink, inspiring fear. Fortunately, Chu Zhiqin had already prepared a thermos of blue mushroom soup, illuminating the surroundings brightly and clearly.

Xi Xiyi carefully examined the vehicle's condition with her cold, azure light. Thank goodness, apart from some minor corrosion marks on the outer surface, there were almost no other problems.

Chu Zhiqin had always been particularly fond of cars, and seeing the scratches on the RV's exterior caused by erosion, she couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable distress.

"It's a bit ugly, but as long as the functionality isn't compromised, it's fine." At this critical juncture, Xi Xi didn't care much about the car's appearance. She lowered her head and looked at the rubber shoes on her feet. The coating on the shoes shimmered like mother-of-pearl when it came into contact with water.

Xi Xi was wearing those "Wave-Treading Rubber Shoes," which Yu Bo had copied from the "Blessing with a Clever Pen" incident.

[Item Description: Specially designed waterproof rubber shoes. Allows walking and running on water (except for non-Newtonian liquids)]

"I'll get off the boat and take a look," Xi Xi said, tentatively stepping out with one foot.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid. After all, we were in a vast ocean with unknown depths, and a misstep could lead to a fate worse than death.

She felt as if her toes were made of silk soaked in liquid nitrogen, and she could feel the dense flow of water washing over the soles of her boots with each toe.

"Hiss..." she muttered softly, the sea breeze slightly salty, patting the back of her neck.

Chu Zhiqin was clearly worried as well. She quickly grabbed Xi Xi's hand to give her balance and said, "Be careful, take it slow!"

As my first foot landed completely on the sea surface, a cool, smooth sensation spread through my arch. Silver-blue light patterns on the exploded from the point of impact, radiating spiderweb-like energy bands along the water's surface.

Xi Xi subconsciously pulled in her stomach, but her knees began to tremble due to excessive tension. After all, the sea was not flat, solid land; she could clearly feel the direction of the waves rising and falling beneath her feet, and the swaying sensation made it difficult for her to maintain her balance.

Taking a deep breath, Xi Xi put both feet on the kayak and then slowly began to try to shift her weight.

She stomped her feet a few times, feeling the rhythm of the fluid support. The moment the soles of her boots touched the water, a hexagonal honeycomb structure immediately appeared, and the buoyancy of the seawater suddenly became tangible, as if she had stepped into a lump of semi-solidified mercury.

"Grab this!" Chu Zhiqin pulled out an incredibly sturdy crash chain from the repair kit. Although the chain looked somewhat old, it radiated a reassuring metallic sheen.

Xi Xi reached out one hand and gripped the cold, solid chain tightly. At the same time, she used her other hand to hold onto the car body, carefully moving forward little by little.

Upon reaching her destination, she tentatively turned around, and the soles of her boots immediately stirred up circular ripples, the spray breaking into phosphorescent particles under the moonlight.

“Look at this tire tread—” Xi Xi bent down to examine the leaking tire. The fine cracks on the rubber surface resembled a dried-up riverbed. “We still need to change it as soon as possible. If we wait another half hour, we’ll be performing a water ballet on the Pacific Ocean.”

Although amphibious vehicles don't need tires, they are still one of the supporting structures. If water gets in, it will inevitably cause the vehicle to tilt.

Xi Xi fully mastered the "Wave-Riding Rubber Shoes" during her seventh trip around the RV. She gradually learned to trigger emergency braking by lightly touching the water with the back of her foot, and even figured out a trick to save energy by using the inertia of the waves.

Feeling quite pleased with herself, she deftly threw the safety chain back into the kayak, causing Chu Zhiqin to exclaim in concern.

Xi Xi waved helplessly to her mother, then took the tools and spare tire handed to her from the kayak.

The new tires, which Xi Xi had just drawn with her magic brush, still smelled of rubber. When the Dongli-made jack rose, Xi's mother's hand, gripping the repair kit, trembled slightly.

"Won't this steel frame deform the car body?" She looked at the corrugated steel chassis casting a spiderweb-like shadow in the seawater. This was the first time she had ever seen such a high-tech, unsupported structure.

Changing a tire on this unfathomable sea—in every sense of the word, Xi Xi is arguably the best in the entire server…

"It's alright, the product manual says it can withstand the water pressure at a depth of 1,000 meters in the deep sea." Xi Xi hooked her foot over the anti-slip mat. She had read the "instruction manual" several times before getting out of the car, so she was confident. "Is there a recurve wrench in the repair kit? Hand it to me!"

Although Chu Zhiqin was very good at crocheting, she knew nothing about repair equipment. She hurriedly rummaged through the repair kit and quickly handed it to Xi Xi. Then she looked around anxiously.

In the stillness of the night, with the moon high in the sky, the vast sea stretches out in a desolate and chilling atmosphere, which can be quite unsettling.

A barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in Chu Zhiqin's eyes. She kept a close eye on everything around her, afraid that some unexpected event might interrupt Xi Xi's repair work.

Time ticked by, and Xi Xi finally tightened the last bolt. Chu Zhiqin, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into place.

Xi Xi was already used to walking on the water and had no desire to get on the boat. So, ignoring Chu Zhiqin's nagging, she grabbed the towing chain and turned around to pull the kayak back.

Just then, on the vast, boundless sea in the distance, something mysterious seemed to be floating silently. The bright moonlight poured down, making the sea surface shimmer, but the thing sometimes hid in the darkness, and sometimes appeared and disappeared under the gentle caress of the moonlight, exuding an indescribable eerie atmosphere.

Almost instinctively, Xi Xi quickly turned to the side and tightly shielded her mother behind her, her surf shoes creating circular ripples on the water's surface.

Looking closely, one could vaguely see a black outline rising and falling with the waves amidst the surging tides.

Chu Zhiqin's heart tightened suddenly, and she involuntarily gripped the kayak's handle, her voice trembling slightly as she exclaimed, "This...is that a fluorescent dorsal fin? Could it be a shark!?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi was taken aback for a moment, then realized something was amiss: "A shark moving in parallel?"

Her face stiffened, and she frowned—the thing had flipped over, and the pale moonlight revealed a human arm.
