"It has to be him again..."
"If it were anyone else using a low-tier ship girl in the competition, I'd think they'd gone mad! But with Zheng Hao, I just think he's pulled out the [Demon Ship], and he'll be much more serious about this match..."
Among the crowd of "ship girls" watching, on the huge cruise ship that symbolized the "Shipping Association," Yun Yang was also watching the situation in the arena, his expression constantly shifting.
"Depend on!"
"Zheng Hao is really treating the finals like a practice match! He's treating practice matches like child's play, isn't he?"
Yang Fan laughed and cursed.
There were many familiar faces on the entire [Ships Alliance] cruise ship.
Residual heat, energy storage, lightning, electric surge, and even Mo Qingyuan, the president of the boat association, were all on board, jointly supervising the competition.
"That Zheng Hao guy..."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Not far from the [Ship Union], Haiyi, aboard the [Ghost], gazed intently at the competition venue.
Next door to him was the Royal Power, which was not even participating this time.
Croatian Mingken looked at Haiyi with a joking expression and greeted him casually, "Oh! [Second Son of the Underworld King], I didn't expect you weren't participating in the competition either?"
"I thought that all the big families were crazy people who didn't care about the consequences!"
"Well... it seems there's still one normal person among us..."
As if he had found a like-minded partner, Ming Ken looked directly at Hai Yi with a rather appreciative expression. Hai Yi's face darkened: "You... also rejected that thing, right?"
"Hi--"
"That thing looks really weird! My princess, I can't even bear to let her do the laundry, do you think I'd be happy to inject her with someone else's serum?"
"What are the consequences of injecting that stuff? Who knows? Who can guarantee that the [Boat Girl] won't get hurt?"
Ming Ken gave a mocking smile, but gently touched the hull of the [Royal Power].
Is that what you think?
"Then you did it right..."
"I...I also really dislike that stuff..."
A hint of hesitation flickered in her deep blue eyes.
In fact, the system notification was still flashing before Haiyi's eyes: [Please check in at 'Death Wheel - Track 3' for generous rewards!]
Can...
Haiyi chose to turn a blind eye.
He had seen the future with his "Eye of Foresight," even if only for a brief moment.
He saw the Ghost's body mutate and it was in excruciating pain after he injected the serum. At that moment, he could only watch the Ghost convulse, completely helpless.
Without the injection of the [serum], he and [Ghost] would almost certainly be crushed by their opponents on the field!
He doesn't want any kind of "future"!
So be it!
He withdrew from the competition!
Although I don't know what that cheap guy was thinking, for him, the [system reward] was not as important as the [ghost].
"Haiyi..."
"You look adorable even when you're looking worried..."
A pair of slender hands suddenly hugged him from behind. This time, Haiyi didn't struggle; he also hugged [Ghost's] hands back. [Ghost's] hands visibly trembled!
but...
After a slight tremor, the two hugged even tighter...
......
"Dear viewers! Dear viewers!"
"Welcome to the newly launched [World Speed Race], [Death Wheel]!"
"The 'Wheel of Death' is the newest racing track built by the 'Ship Federation.' What kind of magic does it possess?"
Let's wait and see!
"This competition will be broadcast live entirely from a mysterious personal hull perspective. Details of the racecourse will also be kept secret from the navigators and spectators!"
"I am Xu Kun, the host of this match. Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the start of the match together!"
"3...2..."
On the soaring speedboat, Xu Kun stirred up the competition atmosphere, raising the microphone and shouting loudly.
"1!!!"
Almost the instant everyone shouted "1" in unison!
"Puff puff puff—"
The eight ship girls that had been anchored in front of the whirlpool all lowered their anchors and let their ships drift naturally into the whirlpool.
There was no launch start as I had imagined, nor was there any scene of everyone scrambling to get ahead.
Yes!
Faced with the unknown conditions underwater, no one dared to be the first to rush down and become the first to venture out.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Beneath the twisting whirlpool, the eight ships spun with the waves. When they were finally sucked into the mouth of the whirlpool, they were like eight leaf blades, constantly twisting and turning in the whirlpool. With a "whoosh," they were pulled to the bottom of the sea!
"Thud—"
"Thud—"
at the same time!
As the eight ships disappeared, eight shared perspectives of the ship girls instantly appeared on the [Ship Alliance Cruise Ship].
"Buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—"
Almost all of the [ship girl's perspective] shows a series of black images projected onto the sea surface after a high-frequency shaking.
"Pop—"
"Pop—"
"Pop—"
Beneath the pitch-black seawater, nothing could be seen at all; only the faint image of bubbling bubbles could be discerned!
"Holy crap? It's really a smear contest in the dark?"
"I don't understand. How can there be a competition if no one can see it?"
"Nonsense! The navigator will have to figure out the track himself!"
"No! The key issue is that if no one can see anything... what kind of traps are there in this race? If people run around blindly, wouldn't that be incredibly dangerous?! And... this is underwater! Everyone has to be careful about oxygen levels! This race is a bit too extreme!"
