"Zheng Hao?"
"You've come to the Azure Domain too?!"
Upon hearing this, the gaunt man stopped in his tracks and looked at Zheng Hao with a look of surprise and delight.
Yang Fan was looking at Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao was also looking at Yang Fan.
I've lost weight!
Yang Fan has lost countless pounds!
If Yang Fan used to be a muscular, handsome young man with a certain athletic appeal... then now he's just a skinny dog! A completely drained, skinny stick...
Good heavens!
This is the consequence of over-maintenance.
The "ship girl" is well-maintained, but the "navigator" is ruined.
"Well..."
"I'm here to participate in the relay race..."
"You...weren't you also here to prepare for the relay race? What are you doing here?"
Looking towards Yang Fan's room with a puzzled expression, he saw [Binglan] and another red-haired girl's heads peeking out from the doorway. The two girls were staring intently at Yang Fan, sending a chill down his spine.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Brother Zheng! You've come at the right time. Let's discuss the strategy for the upcoming match!"
"Um... [Binglan]... [Huozhu], you two get some rest and wait for me to come back!"
Hurriedly pulling Zheng Hao along, Yang Fan seemed to be escaping from a den of demons, rushing towards the corridor outside on the fourth floor.
Behind him, the two boat girls, their faces full of disdain, slammed the door shut.
"Phew~~~"
"Finally, I can rest..."
Leaning against the stair railing on the fourth floor, Yang Fan looked relieved.
Zheng Hao remained silent.
He originally thought that Yang Fan had been drained by [Binglan], but he didn't expect that Yang Fan would actually "have his cake and eat it too" and play it really big!
Serves them right for being completely drained!
"Hello..."
"While close-range interaction with [Boat Girls] is a necessary means of maintaining relationships, and common sense, I advise you to exercise restraint. Otherwise... what if you end up commanding four or five [Boat Girls]..."
"You may die young..."
Zheng Hao gave Yang Fan a serious piece of advice, showing that he still considered Yang Fan a friend.
"Hmph..."
"Good brother, men really know how to understand men..."
"However... there's a saying that goes, how can you gain a thorough understanding of someone's mind and body without in-depth communication?"
"I feel... I've vaguely grasped the secret of [man and ship as one]..."
"Just! Just give me three more nights!"
Yang Fan clenched his fist, his calves still trembling, but his face showed unwavering determination.
"You really want to become one with the boat?"
"I don't even want to point it out!"
"Take it easy... Don't become an incompetent husband before you even reach the 'Two-Star Navigator' level..."
He patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, and the other man smiled, but with a mischievous grin: "You don't understand! There's a real reason behind the 'wolf fang negative distance' here!"
"After several days of hard work, the stats of both of my [Boat Girls] have increased by one point!"
"Especially... the ship girls' [bump resistance] and [hardness]..."
"Zheng Hao, not to be rude, but why don't you give it a try? With your physique, increasing your [ship girl's] [hardness] a little bit each night is definitely not a problem..."
"Well..."
"I don't think I lack that bit of [hardness]..."
"......"
The two chatted intermittently.
During this time, Yang Fan's door kept opening, and two boat girls looked at him with resentful eyes. Zheng Hao couldn't stand their gazes any longer and immediately tried to leave.
"I said... I won't bother you anymore..."
"I..."
"Please, bro! Bro! I'm begging you! Let's talk for another minute!"
As soon as he said it, Yang Fan looked bitter and grabbed Zheng Hao's arm.
Zheng Hao gave a sarcastic remark.
"how?"
"Aren't you still trying to master the technique of 'man and boat as one'?"
"Well..."
"I'll understand it later! I'll understand it later!"
"By the way... Zheng Hao, do you want to team up with me for the relay race? You drive the first half, and you'll definitely leave everyone behind. Then I'll take the Glacier Relay, and I can use the Ice Storm to perfectly take the second half of the race!"
"If we cooperate, let's not even talk about first place, we'll definitely be in the top three, right?"
"The top three in the [First Sea Tournament] plus the top three in the [Azure Domain Relay Race] are enough to apply for the [Two-Star Navigator] certificate!"
As if he had thought of something, Yang Fan suddenly looked at Zheng Hao with hope.
Zheng Hao's eyes flickered; he was actually somewhat tempted.
Yang Fan's [Ice Storm] is indeed a perfect fit for the second half of the competition, and it truly lives up to its reputation as the exclusive [ship girl] of [Azure Domain].
With him there, we've secured a top-three finish.
Can...
If you want to get the [Shattered Star - Impact-Resistant Component], the third-place reward isn't very good.
He remembered it clearly: at this stage, Zhou Hang's master, Jiang Yao, needed the "Alpha Endurance Potion" from the first place in the relay race.
They're also vying for first place!
I must make sure my own bag is number one, because it's meant to block Zhou Hang's luck!
If I can secure first place, I can use the "Alpha Endurance Potion" and Zhou Hang as leverage, and the other party might help me get into the Zhou family's warehouse.
"Hmm..."
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Hao shook his head.
I'm sorry...
"I can't team up..."
"Huh? Do you have any teammates yet?"
"No!"
