Chapter 29: The big bosses gather on the horror cruise ship.
Gu Rong was led by the king to the banquet.
Prominent nobles, ministers, and celebrities were all present at the banquet, chatting and exchanging pleasantries while holding their wine glasses, sitting at the tables in groups of three or five, or dancing gracefully on the dance floor.
The band was playing the famous song Por Una Cabeza, and the scene was very lively.
It was already late at night outside. The Pharaoh was sailing on the rainy sea, heading towards the deep sea den.
Those who didn't know would think they were here for vacation, rather than going to the deep sea ghost den to fight against the lowly creatures and take back the second prince and the soul ring.
As soon as Louis XIII appeared holding Gu Rong's hand, everyone looked over at them.
The violinist's hand trembled and a note was broken.
Suddenly, the music stopped and the scene was silent.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the king and the little prince.
Everyone's attention was mainly focused on the little prince, who seldom appeared in public. Even when he did, he was always wearing a feather mask, covering himself tightly.
But at this moment, the little prince appeared in front of everyone without any cover.
I have to say, the little prince is fair and tender, chubby, and has big eyes that sparkle like glass. He is so adorable!
But why did the little prince come out? What was His Majesty thinking?
No one could figure it out, nor did they dare to think about it, so they kept silent.
The king laughed and said, "Rongrong has been cooped up in the house. He might get suffocated. Let's take him out for some fresh air. Everyone, please feel free to do as you please. There's no need to be restrained."
Unfortunately, except for Xiao Lin, the other four nobles who Gu Rong pretended to be the little prince and were talking to for the mission were all present.
Their eyes twitched when they heard the king's words.
The little prince was clearly running around the boat and playing just now. How could he have gotten sick from being cooped up in the house?
But whatever the king said was the truth, and they dared not object.
As soon as the king finished speaking, the band started playing again and the scene became lively again.
But everyone was very cautious and could not really act freely.
Gu Rong didn't care much, and looked at the captain with his big eyes: "Who is the captain?"
006: [Little host, the captain hasn't arrived yet, but he's on his way.]
Gu Rong said "Oh" and stopped caring. His eyes were quickly attracted by the delicious cakes on the scene.
006: [……]
The king wanted to discuss government affairs with his ministers, so he asked several ministers to take Gu Rong around.
Just as the ministers of the death penalty faction were about to take Gu Rong, the ministers of the generous reward faction got there first. Not only were they quick to interrupt, but their hands were also quick, and they immediately took the little prince in their arms.
Death-granting faction: “…”
Damn it!
Gu Rong didn't care who was holding him. He pointed at the small cake on the table with his little hand and said, "Rong Rong wants to eat some cake!"
Death Sentence: "Your Highness, your diet has specific requirements. If you eat, you will probably have diarrhea. It is better not to eat."
As he said this, he ordered a subordinate next to him to bring the little prince's dinner.
Gu Rong hugged his little arms and decided to use the "Hanged Little Ghost" identity card to secretly eat the cake.
Gu Rong was sitting at a dining table, with four powerful ministers watching him intently. For a moment, no one dared to come forward.
The four nobles who had been tasked with Gu Rong before had racked their brains but were unable to figure out the code words. Now, after hesitating for a long time, they pretended to pass by and whispered the code words.
The first noble: "Hehehe~"
Gu Rong, with a tablecloth tied around his neck, was eating cheese with a spoon. Upon hearing this, his ears moved and he responded in a tender voice, "Ga ga ga~"
When the man heard it, his eyes widened and he said, "Oh shit, it really is a code word!"
Look, the little prince actually responded!
The four ministers who were in charge of Gu Rong at the table, and the two ministers who were in favor of the death penalty faction, had already known about the secret code. They were planning to verify it and then find a suitable time to inform His Majesty the King. When they heard it, they thought to themselves that as expected, the little prince had indeed secretly run out to spread the secret code.
But what does this codeword mean?
Another noble came over and whispered, "Ah, buy some discs~~"
Gu Rong was only focused on eating, and replied perfunctorily: "Haha~"
other side:"……"
No, why does this codeword keep changing?
It would have been fine if they hadn't tried it, but once they tried it, everyone became even more confused.
006 said: [Little host, pay attention! There are quite a few players here, and they are all top-tier players.]
Gu Rong turned his little head.
006 said: [Little host, to your left, there are two young ladies wearing flower-studded hats who occasionally glance over here. One is Wu Yao, and the other is Xia Wan. They are both ranked in the top 200 players in the server, and their identities in the dungeon are noble ladies.]
As soon as Gu Rong looked over, the two female players waved and greeted her with a smile, with a friendly attitude and an extremely calm expression.
Gu Rong also tilted her snow-white face and smiled back at the other person.
Wu Yao and Xia Wan's eyes suddenly lit up and they smiled like aunties.
006 said: [Little host, to your right is a Miao boy with a head full of dreadlocks and venomous snakes at his feet. His name is Xie Lingjiu. He is the highest-ranked player in this dungeon, even higher than Mu Xingye, and ranks 59th in the server. His identity in the dungeon is a wizard from the Xinghai Continent.]
Gu Rong ate his meal in big mouthfuls, glanced at the black snake coiled on the ground spitting out its tongue, and pointed with his little finger.
Then, his eyes glanced directly at Xie Lingjiu's head.
As he glanced around, he raised his little hand to touch his wig, then looked at Xie Lingjiu's dreadlocks, blinking his big eyes with a look of surprise.
Xie Lingjiu was very perceptive. He noticed Gu Rong's gaze and turned to look over.
Their eyes met.
Gu Rong tilted his little head and pulled up a small piece of his wig, seeming to be envious of the other person's braid.
Xie Lingjiu: “…”
absurd.
006 said: [Little host, there are two players among the waiters, and one in the band.]
Gu Rong doesn’t have a live broadcast room now. What he doesn’t know is that as soon as he appeared at the banquet, many aunts flocked into the live broadcast rooms of other players and began to give them inhumane and indiscriminate rewards.
After all, these big players were knowledgeable and had given a lot of rewards in the past, but they were still surprised for a moment by the overwhelming amount of rewards.
This little NPC... is very popular.
The other unknown players were surprised and delighted. Oh my god, the NPC Zaizai really lived up to its reputation. The aunts of this Zaizai really all had a lot of stupid points.
[So many big-name players? Has this dungeon entered a big-name den?!]
[Muxing Wild Shark Cubs' livestream is generating so much hype, it's clear they're planning something big! They're probably all here to join in the fun.]
Wu Yao and Xia Wan are probably here to join in the fun. As for Xie Lingjiu, he and Mu Xingye have always been at odds, the kind who would kill each other the moment they meet. Need I explain more, right?
——The suspected spoiler barrage is only open to the audience——
Just then, there was a commotion and everyone looked towards the entrance.
The Captain and Mr. Mori arrived.
Captain Alpha of the Pharaoh is an old general over fifty years old, with a white beard, a strong body, a weather-beaten face, and a very kind look.
The Pharaoh was originally a battleship, and Alpha had only ever been at the helm of battleships.
This was his last time at the helm of a voyage, after which he would retire.
As for Mr. Mori, he is the designer of the "Pharaoh".
The Pharaoh battleship, originally named "Black Goat of the Forest", was a tribute from Jameson, the greatest genius designer of the Star Ocean Continent, to General Nicholas, the "never defeated" of the Star Ocean Continent.
Nicholas's nickname is "Black Goat", and the logo of the Black Goat is still engraved on the hull of the Pharaoh.
Jameson has both legs amputated and is in a wheelchair.
The young man pushing him was wearing a well-tailored suit. He was handsome and had a cold, fair complexion. There was a familiar half-smile on his thin, crimson lips. He had an aura that was indifferent and difficult to approach. It was Lin Xuezhuo.
As soon as Gu Rong saw Lin Xuezhuo, he exclaimed and stared at him.
How did Doctor Uncle become Doctor Brother?
At this time, Lin Xuezhuo's identity is no longer Dr. Lin in "Mental Hospital". His clothes and appearance are younger and more in line with his real age.
Gu Rong was a little unsure whether the person in front of him was the doctor.
Until Lin Xuezhuo looked over from afar, nodded and smiled at him.
Gu Rong's eyes lit up, and he confirmed that this was the doctor uncle, and his little face was excited.
006 said: [My dear host, the identity of this copy of Dr. Lin is Jameson's direct disciple, and is expected to inherit Jameson's legacy and mantle. His status is also very noble.]
[Ahhhh, Boss Lin makes a brilliant appearance, applause!! [Reward points]]
[Why does Boss Lin always do so well? He always gets a good script and plays an NPC with a high status!]
[Hahaha, I suspect that if Jameson wasn't too old, Lin would have directly replaced Jameson instead of being his student.]
Although Boss Lin had just gone through a dungeon, everyone who had seen it knew that he was a reserve boss. Besides his fame, he was a boss. Furthermore, his strength was unknown, making it difficult for anyone to deal with him.
[Hehe, seeing Boss Lin, I feel relieved. Who dares to abuse my little one?!]
…
Jameson spends almost all his time in his room and rarely shows up because of his mobility problems.
Only when he heard that the little prince was coming to the party did he let Lin Xuezhuo push him over.
Captain Alpha also came for the little prince.
Unlike the death-ordered minister who intercepted the "Little Prince's code", the captain had received a secret report and learned about Gu Rong's three code words.
He couldn't guess what the three code words meant. The key point was that the code words the two people got were slightly different.
One person is "jiejiejie" and the other is "ga gaga gaga".
As soon as his subordinates reported that the little prince had arrived at the party, he followed him.
Everyone was surprised and shocked to see that not only the little prince showed up tonight, but also the captain and Jameson.
What happened today? What happened?
006: [Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward points: 10,000. Captain Alpha's favorability increased by 50%.]
006: [……]
It’s normal that the Little Prince’s task is too simple and the points are low. This is basically a free point question!

Xiao Lin stopped Mu Xingye and Zhao Minghai from using Gu Rong as bait to catch sharks.
Mu Xingye and Zhao Minghai were demoted to the fifth-class people.
Although Mu Xingye was not convinced, Xiao Lin was a high-ranking NPC, and there was no need to offend him unless necessary.
He could have killed Xiao Lin, but there were so many people at the scene and it was impossible for him to kill them all. He didn't want to become a wanted criminal on the first day.
Mu Xingye finally sneered, threw the cub on the fishing rod to Xiao Lin, and walked away with a sinister smile, indicating that the matter was not over yet.
There's no rush anyway. The dungeon has just started and he still has plenty of time to play with the little brat.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao both breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were ready to be cannon fodder, but even if they were cannon fodder, they might not be able to save Rongrong.
As soon as Gu Rong was in Xiao Lin's arms, she fell asleep under the control of the system. In the eyes of several people, she was frightened and fainted.
Xiao Lin was stunned, looking at the soft little ball in his arms. It was obvious that he was carved from the same mold as the little prince. It was definitely a cub!
I didn't expect that Zizi was really on the boat. The little prince would say those words to him. I guess he had seen Zizi before.
But the news that Zaizai is on the boat must be kept secret for the time being.
Xiao Lin handed the unconscious Gu Rong to Zhuang Yuchen with a smile, without revealing that he knew Gu Rong.
Zhuang Yu took Gu Rong and held her in his arms: "Thank you, Colonel Xiao."
Xiao Lin had a serious face and never smiled. At this moment, he looked at the two of them expressionlessly, then looked at Gu Rong in Zhuang Yu's arms, then turned around and left with his subordinates.
Shen Hanxiao touched his chin and thought: "Something is wrong. This Colonel Xiao looks quite high-ranking and must have seen the little prince. Wouldn't it be strange for him to see this little ghost who looks exactly like the little prince?"
Zhuang Yu pondered and said, "Something is indeed wrong, but let's send Rongrong back first."
Shen Hanxiao nodded.
The two of them could only send Gu Rong back to the lower class cabin first.
As soon as he returned to the lower class cabin, Old John was looking for his cub in a hurry.
As soon as Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao appeared, holding Gu Rong, Old John rushed forward angrily, snatched Gu Rong away, and scolded him, "How dare you run downstairs to steal the cub? Do you really think we lowly people are easy to bully?"
Zaizai's uncles and aunts also rushed forward, waving their fists at Zhuang Yuchen with a smile.
Shen Hanxiao waved his hands and explained: "Don't get me wrong, we are here to deliver the cub! Are you Grandpa John?"
Zhuang Yu said, "Rong... let me explain. Zizi accidentally got lost outside, and we just brought him back."
Old John held the sleeping cub in his arms, clearly unconvinced: "The cub was sleeping in the house, how could he get lost outside?"
Gu Rong, who was in the idle state, opened his eyes fuzzily and explained: "Big brother, little brother, hello, I won't steal my cubs!"
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao spread their hands innocently.
Old John looked at the two men's attire and thought they were third-class citizens. He snorted and thought that even if they were not thieves, there was no need to have any dealings with them.
He carried Gu Rong back to the house and slammed the door shut, isolating Zhuang Yuchen with a smile outside.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Banquet scene.
King Louis XIII took Gu Rong by the hand and introduced Captain Alpha and Jameson to him.
Everyone was secretly observing the situation here. The Captain and Mr. Sen were both former subordinates of General Nicholas. Why would His Majesty the King take the initiative to introduce them to the little prince?
Captain Alpha and Jameson both looked at Gu Rong, with complex and incomprehensible emotions surging in their eyes.
Looking at Gu Rong, they thought of General Nicholas. Gu Rong was simply a smaller version of General Nicholas.
Gu Rong secretly glanced at Lin Xuezhuo, her little face full of joy.
Lin Xuezhuo looked up and down at Gu Rong's outfit, his gaze paused for a moment on his light golden curly hair, and raised his eyebrows.
Someone suggested, "It's rare for the little prince to show up. Why not take this opportunity to invite His Royal Highness to perform on stage? This will boost our morale as we head into the deep sea to fight the lowly creatures!"
The king did not agree immediately, but lowered his head, looked at the little ball in his hand, and squeezed his chubby little hand that was like a stress-relieving toy.
Gu Rong tilted his head back, looked at the king with a cute face, and said, "I can dance to the 'Happiness Clapping Song'."
king:"……"
Gu Rong was only two years old. Before the end of the world, he had not yet gone to kindergarten, but he had been skipping the early childhood education song "Happy Clapping Song" in front of the TV.
After a moment of silence, everyone applauded and welcomed the little prince to perform on stage.
Gu Rong was not at all nervous. Just as he was about to run onto the stage, Captain Alpha personally carried him onto the stage.
Everyone sighed.
The king's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened slightly.
Gu Rong said softly, "Thank you, Captain Grandpa!"
The first time I saw him, I actually knew he was called "Captain Grandpa".
This touched the old captain so much that he choked up and said, "You're welcome, good boy."
The 50% favorability is really not a lie. The old captain was deeply shocked just because the kid said "Captain Grandpa" and he wanted to pass the Pharaoh to him.
The band played the melody of "Happy Clapping Song". Gu Rong stood on the stage and began to clapping his hands, spinning in circles, and stomping his feet as the music started, with the rhythm being just right.
You know what, she dances very well, very cute and kawaii.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing, and some even burst out laughing.
When I heard the laughter, I couldn't hold it back anymore, and the laughter got louder and louder.
Gu Rong was clapping her hands when she frowned, stamped her feet, and said angrily, "If you laugh again, I won't dance!"
Although he is young, he doesn't like others making fun of him.
Everyone immediately stopped laughing. They had originally just thought the little prince was adorable, but as he was performing on the stage and they were laughing below, it really looked like they were making fun of him.
However, the little prince is not intimidating, but even more adorable.
But no one dared to laugh out loud anymore, mainly because they were afraid that if they laughed the little prince would really stop dancing.
