Is this the power of capital?
"To create an eco-island at sea?"
Bai Huanhuan stared wide-eyed at the residents moving freely on the island, her face full of envy.
"Hmph..."
"You may see their lives as ordinary, but you should know this: this island was jointly built by a powerful family. Those who live here are either members of that powerful family, or... renowned navigators..."
"It's called the 'Wind and Water Residential Area,' but it's actually more of an island for the wealthy..."
Jian Qinghan's words shattered everyone's hopes.
Zheng Hao shrugged, and as soon as the ship docked, he was the first to jump onto the island's pier.
"Thump~"
Just as I jumped down and got my footing, I felt a slight sway under my feet.
Just standing here, your body will sway slightly with the "island" and enter that hazy, tipsy state after drinking.
"Tsk..."
Even capital can't withstand the storms...
After getting used to their balance for a while, the five [Boat Girls] behind them successively boarded the island, all of them swaying and looking surprised.
"stop!"
"Who are you people?!"
"Tap tap tap~"
Before Zheng Hao could explore the island, several armed guards approached the pier. They were dressed in uniforms similar to those of foreign royal guards, wearing top hats and uniform black fur boots.
It has to be said that even the security forces on this island exude an air of luxury.
The guards, guns raised, glanced at Zheng Hao's attire and the number of "boat girls" behind him, seemingly casually.
After only a few glances, the leading guard immediately lowered his weapon and revealed a fawning expression: "Young master... what brings you to [Wind Domain]?"
"Contest!"
"I'm here to participate in the [Wind, Water, Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Team Competition]!"
"Oh~"
"In that case, please come with me to the registration area! We will give you a five-day temporary stay. Within five days, as long as you find teammates and register your match information in the match lobby, then... you will be able to obtain a one-month stay in our [Wind Water Area]."
"Please come with me!"
The lead guard bowed repeatedly to Zheng Hao and pointed in a certain direction. The other guards immediately made way for him, filled with trepidation.
Those who survive here all have some sense of observation.
Someone who owns such a huge cruise ship and has five female escorts—does he lack money? Is someone like that someone you should mess with?
Even in another world, the principle of treating people differently based on their status applies.
"Tsk..."
"I remember, if it were the original storyline, Zhou Hang would be stuck here and unable to get in... It was only because Jiang Yao used the power of the [Pharmacist Ship Family] that he was able to get onto the island..."
"What rich man's island!?"
He scoffed inwardly.
As we entered the island, the number of people on the roads gradually increased.
Some corresponding family symbols also appeared on the surrounding houses and buildings.
For example, next to the central [Competition Registration Hall], in front of the gatehouse of a two-story building, there's a flag with a lion design. Below the design, the words "Family of Beasts" are written in a foreign language...
For example, several layers away from the two-story buildings, there was another three-story building with the flag of "King of the Far Mountains" flying on it.
On this island, there might be houses, all belonging to a certain family or a famous navigator.
No wonder it's said that the [Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain - Team Competition] is a competition that every large clan flocks to.
Can it not be?
This is an upper-class circle; who wouldn't want to be number one in it?
"Young master...please!"
The armed man respectfully pointed to the [Competition Registration Hall], which was completely empty.
Yes!
There was no one there!
"Huh... what's this?"
Zheng Hao hesitated for a moment, and the armed man smiled and said, "Is this your first time on the island, young master?"
"right!"
"You may not know this, but most of the participants are from large families. They don't need to register! They just need to show their family flag, and the system will automatically register their competition information."
"Oh, so that means there won't be any minor players in this match?"
"Well..."
"Well, it's hard to say... If someone has achieved outstanding results in other regions, the nobles of the [Wind Water Region] would actually welcome them to participate in the competition, to add some excitement..."
"Yeah?"
"Hey~ This brings us to the story of the Three Kings!"
"Hmm? Have the Three Kings been here too?"
"Hey~"
"You don't know?"
"Back in the day, during the 'Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain' competition, nobody expected that three wild kids who popped out of nowhere would actually take the top three spots!!!"
"Do you know how shocked the higher-ups were back then?"
The mere mention of the "Three Kings" would ignite a sudden sparkle in the eyes of even the most shrewd and calculating defense personnel.
"hiss..."
"Then... does the Cloud Dragon King also have assets on this island?"
Zheng Hao asked suspiciously, and the guard raised his head: "Of course! Back then, the [Cloud Dragon King] won first place in that competition with his [Fire Cloud Ship] and his miraculous [Fire Cloud Domain]!"
"First place in the [Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain] Team Competition! Third place in the [World Championship Preliminaries]! Sixth place in the [World Championship]!"
"It's just a pity..."
"If it weren't for that [Sea Cave Exploration Competition]... perhaps the [Cloud Dragon King] wouldn't have disappeared..."
Seemingly a devoted fan being talked about his idol, the guard, with eyes sparkling, recounted the history of the "Cloud Dragon King" with great familiarity.
"Why?"
"Old Deng has these secrets too..."
Zheng Hao listened with great interest, his thoughts finally settling on the [Sea Cave Exploration Competition].
"【Sea Cave Exploration Competition】?"
What happened to this match?
"Well...very few people know about this, and I don't know either..."
The guards shook their heads. After a moment's thought, Zheng Hao didn't look at the [Registration Hall] again. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Please take me to the [Cloud Dragon King's] estate."
"Huh? [Cloud Dragon King] hasn't participated in a competition for quite some time now..."
Even if you go, you won't be able to see him!
The defense personnel were clearly taken aback by what they heard.
Zhou Suxin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but mutter, hands on her hips, "Do you know who he is?"
"Well..."
"May I ask your surname, sir?"
Upon being asked this, the security personnel looked at Zheng Hao respectfully. Zheng Hao smiled calmly: "My surname is Zheng, son of the [Cloud Dragon King], Zheng Hao!!!"
