What?
Did it break the inner demons of the 'chosen ones'?
What's the meaning?
If it weren't for him, would all the "Chosen Ones" be unable to defeat Merlin Armin? And then, would they all be tormented by their inner demons, only to defeat Merlin Armin after they've grown to a certain level?
And myself!
By breaking their inner demons ahead of time, it can be considered as stealing their opportunities and luck?
"Goodness..."
"It seems this Merlin Amin is no ordinary person..."
"If she can become the inner demon of all the chosen ones, what other tricks might she have up her sleeve?"
"......"
"First place!"
As my thoughts wandered, a staff member came up carrying a tray. On the tray were the familiar [Magic Point Box], a savings card, and a dazzling gold medal.
"First place! Here is your prize for this competition: a 100-point Magic Point Box and a reward of 20 million Magic Sea Coins."
"Also, this is the medal reward for being the [Rookie of the Year]!"
"Wearing this, you can skip the [World Championship Preliminary Round] and directly participate in the [World Championship Official Round] in all future competitions! Of course, you can also choose to skip the [Giant City Ruins Adventure Race] since you are the [Newcomer King]!"
As the staff member spoke, he raised the medal.
Zheng Hao bent down slightly, and the medal engraved with the title of "Newcomer King" was pinned to his chest. The golden medal reflected countless camouflage patterns of past "Newcomer King - Boat Girl" champions, gleaming in the sunlight.
Zheng Hao and Mo Yurou are also prominently featured in these camouflage paintings.
"Whoa..."
"This design is quite interesting..."
Zheng Hao couldn't help but joke, and the official smiled: "If you win the grand finals, you and all your ship girls will be permanently enshrined in the Hall of Fame with data and photos..."
"To date, there are photos of eight champions in the Hall of Fame..."
"I think you have a chance too!"
"Wow, what's this Pokémon Hall of Fame?"
Sighing inwardly, Zheng Hao noticed Mo Yurou staring intently at the medal, so he simply took it off and pinned it on her, making her giggle uncontrollably...
"So, we'll skip the second place winner since they didn't attend the awards ceremony!"
"Third place, here are your [Magic Points] and rewards!"
"Since you have completed the competition, you can choose to participate in or skip the subsequent [Giant City Ruins Competition]!"
"Please, everyone, keep up the good work!"
After the officials handed over the [Magic Point Ball] and [Savings Card] to Hai Wuliang, the peaceful [Award Ceremony] came to an end.
"Put-put-put—"
The family speedboat, which had been circling and taking photos in mid-air, seemed to want to contact Zheng Hao and was about to land...
Can...
Seeing the Quinn family's speedboat land, the other families' speedboats decisively chose to leave.
"Zheng Hao!"
"You just wait, in the upcoming official race, I'll show you who the real king of the track is!"
Hai Wuliang uttered a harsh remark to Zheng Hao, then immediately turned and left.
Haiyi smiled helplessly and patted Zheng Hao on the shoulder with practiced ease: "OI! Rookie King, let's work together again in the future!"
"OK!"
"I'm outta here. This reward... why does it feel so chilling again?"
He muttered to himself as he followed Hai Wuliang onto the Collins family's motorboat.
Zhou Zhong didn't leave with them on the speedboat. After getting off the podium with Zheng Hao, he casually asked, "By the way, Zheng Hao, you...you're not going to participate in the Giant City Ruins Race later, are you?"
"Let's participate!"
Why not participate?
Zheng Hao nodded indifferently, while Zhou Zhong grinned knowingly, "I knew it! You madman, you'd go to any competition! The [Giant City Ruins Competition] has a mortality rate as high as 72%!"
"The old hands from previous competitions all participate, partly for the prize money, and partly as scapegoats cultivated by powerful families to ensure their rankings are lost..."
"The only benefit of this race's ranking is that it will provide a corresponding starting position in the subsequent [official races]..."
"Apart from that, the [Giant City Ruins Race] is practically a death game!"
"If you can skip it, why participate in it at all?"
Zhou Zhong couldn't understand Zheng Hao. With such strong "ship skills," even without a starting position, his starting speed should be quite good, right?
But... Zheng Hao also had his own reasons.
[Shattered Star - Sinking Anchor] He has to go in this match.
As for the probability of death?
Now that he has the two talents, [Dice of Fate] and [Collapse], Zheng Hao doesn't think he's that unlucky, right?
"I...have my own ideas..."
"Thanks, bro!"
See you in the official tournament!
After exchanging a polite remark, the Quinn family's speedboat had already landed in the distance. Zhou Zhong shook his head helplessly and waved his hand: "Anyway! Be careful, the navigators participating in the [Adventure Race] are all old hands!"
That's all I wanted to say...
"Da da da—"
The two parted ways above the clouds. Zheng Hao followed Rum onto the speedboat and remained silent.
The map of the [Giant City Ruins] was already open in my mind!
