With Chen Ping's intervention, the subsequent waves posed no danger whatsoever, and they smoothly passed through the storm zone and arrived at normal sea areas.
Cheng Long and the others looked at the emerging sunlight with excitement on their faces.
Did they succeed?
"Yay! We really survived this time!"
"Haha, the storm is over! We're still alive!"
"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"
All the crew members shouted excitedly.
Cheng Long looked at them with relief, and then thanked Chen Ping, saying, "Brother Chen Ping, if it weren't for you, we would really be buried there."
"We don't know how to repay your great kindness."
Chen Ping: "No need, consider this my fare. Well, if you really want to thank me, then let's go full speed ahead and get to the Honglong Islands as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Long nodded: "I see, um, I understand."
"Then I shall take my leave."
Chen Ping nodded, and then he saw Cheng Long walk towards the energy device. Well, the crew members were now preparing to take out his high-level energy stone and replace it with a low-level one.
......
For the remainder of the journey, the ship will travel at its maximum speed, heading rapidly towards the Honglong Islands.
After consuming more than a dozen high-grade energy stones, they finally arrived at the waters surrounding the Red Dragon Islands.
The crew looked at the half-empty container with a heavy heart. Alas, there was nothing they could do; it was Brother Cheng's own decision.
Half an hour later, their ship successfully entered the port.
Cheng Long was about to notify Chen Ping when he discovered that Chen Ping had already left. As expected of a god-level being, he was completely unaware of anything.
Shaking his head, Cheng Long led his crew to unload all the supplies from the ship.
......
Chen Ping, who had left, was now strolling through the streets. He took a quick scan and discovered that there seemed to be a mid-level god in Gru's palace on the central island. He wondered if it was Gru.
There was nothing he could do; he didn't know Gru, and Saiyabes hadn't brought him along when she went to see him.
Therefore, Chen Ping had no idea what Gru looked like.
I counted them, hmm? There aren't many deserted islands in the Honglong Islands, only 17. The rest of the islands are full of life, with lush vegetation and animals, including exotic beasts.
Chen Ping disappeared from the street and appeared on an island.
Then I inquired about the price, and holy crap! 2.4 million ancient gold coins? Even robbery doesn't bring in money this quickly!
Chen Ping decisively abandoned those islands and decided to take over the 17 deserted islands directly.
Well, although it's a deserted island, there's still some greenery on it, unlike the Flaming Mountain Islands, which are truly barren.
The 17 deserted islands cost Chen Ping 23 million gold coins.
Damn it, Chen Ping angrily sank all 17 deserted islands, successfully obtaining 17 island treasure chests and 128 island fragments.
Having achieved his goal, Chen Ping immediately prepared to go and see if the intermediate god on the central island was Gru.
Chen Ping walked in smoothly, and the guards around him completely ignored him, letting him stroll around in front of them.
Chen Ping arrived at the location of the intermediate divine aura without any problems. He then sneaked in and saw the protagonist of this story.
Hmm, it doesn't seem to be Gru, but someone from the Reibo family?
After all, the members of the Lei Bo family all carry a kind of, well, thunderous scent. Their physique seems to be somewhat special. Although it's not a special physique, their faith in the thunder element is quite high.
After realizing it wasn't Gru, Chen Ping left immediately.
In a restaurant, Chen Ping sat in a corner on the second floor. After ordering a few dishes, he opened the nautical chart and slowly began to look at it.
Hmm, during a chaotic battle, where do ordinary civilians hide?
Chen Ping looked around and found that the central island, which was the central sea area under the rule of Saiyabes, seemed to be the safest, and it was also the closest sea area to them, since it was in the center.
So, it seems that Chen Dali, Wen Xin, and others might also head to the central sea area?
"Sir, your food is here."
"Everything is served, please enjoy!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping put away the nautical chart and looked at the dishes on the table. Hmm, four dishes and a soup, it looked pretty good.
The color, aroma, and flavor are all there, but I don't know how the taste will be.
First, let's have a bowl of soup. Looking at it, it's fish soup with various seasonings. Chen Ping doesn't recognize any of the ingredients except for tofu.
Try it.
After a few bites, hmm, another piece of fish, hmm, tofu, and some other random things, which he didn't recognize.
It's alright, a light and refreshing taste, but the texture of the fish is quite good. Hmm, nothing special.
Next up are four dishes: a chicken dish, a seafood dish, a spiritual plant dish, and a spiritual fruit dessert.
These five dishes weren't cheap; they cost him a total of 1,000 gold coins, and those were system gold coins, meaning each dish cost an average of 200 gold coins.
After trying them all, Chen Ping couldn't help but frown. Hmm, no, it's not worth the price.
Chen Ping took a sip of water and muttered, "If I had to give it a score out of ten, I'd give it a maximum of five, and that's only because the ingredients are fresh enough."
Chen Ping shook his head in disappointment; this was even worse than what he could make himself.
"Oh, right, go buy some seasonings. Seasonings are bound to be different in each region."
That works. Chen Ping left the restaurant directly to see where he could buy seasonings.
......
"Boss! Come quick, table seven ordered food, but they've only taken one bite each."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the restaurant owner immediately went over and saw the dishes on the table. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Go and call the head chef."
Head Chef: "Boss, what did you call me for?"
Restaurant owner: "Look at yourself, who cooked this whole table of food? The guests only took one bite."
The head chef took one look and exclaimed, "Holy crap, who's being so wasteful?"
After glancing at the owner and then at the dishes, the head chef finally couldn't resist picking up his chopsticks and taking a bite.
Head Chef: "Hmm, the taste is fine. Isn't it the same as before?"
The restaurant owner also tasted it and nodded: "Indeed, there's nothing wrong with the taste or the ingredients. So tell me, why did the customer only take one bite?"
Head Chef: "Uh, well, maybe it's the customer's own problem? Perhaps the customer doesn't like bland food?"
"After all, the dishes here are mostly light and refreshing."
Restaurant owner: "Hmm, that makes sense. Okay, since it's the customer's problem, then it's fine. Take these dishes away."
After saying that, he left.
Chen Ping, who was looking for seasonings, had no idea that the problem was that the dish was bad, but the blame was being placed on him.
