Opportunities are earned, never given to you by others.
Zheng Hao has a deep understanding of this.
Whether it was the Blue Star of the past or the Demon Sea Star of today, if you don't actively strive for things, you'll never know how many opportunities and chances to turn your life around you will miss.
Currently, this examiner from the Merchant Shipping Alliance is certain that he has found the right candidate.
but...
Zheng Hao doesn't think so!
Why is the protagonist the perfect choice, but I am not?
"Rat-a-tat-tat~"
The black "Devil" ship drew ever closer to the examiner. Zheng Hao stood on the deck of the "Devil" ship, his eyes meeting the examiner's gaze, showing no respect or humility whatsoever.
"oh?"
"I know you..."
"Zheng Hao, the young master of the Zheng family? Right?"
Upon seeing that it was Zheng Hao, the examiner's expression changed, and he revealed a rare smile.
I've heard about what happened to you...
"And I've seen your match records too!"
"To be honest, your ship handling skills are indeed outstanding, but... I haven't seen any way you could navigate the reef area without using [ship girls] or [talents]..."
"and..."
"You won the competition last time... actually, it was also thanks to the [ship girl's] abilities, right?"
His sharp gaze scrutinized the [Devil Ship].
The examiners, being from the Merchant Shipping Alliance, were surprisingly shrewd.
"Huh?"
"You noticed?"
"It doesn't matter if they can tell. I'm confident I can get through the [Reef Area], and that's without using any [Talent] or [Ship Girl] abilities!"
With his hands in his pockets, Zheng Hao's expression remained calm.
He's not some down-on-his-luck kid. When talking to these spies from the Merchant Shipping Alliance, he should act like a member of the Zheng family.
"Tsk..."
"Young Master Zheng... I don't understand..."
"Actually, with your wealth, you could easily get a Silver Card by going to the Merchant Shipping Alliance, right?"
"Tell me, what's the point of you making me stay?"
The examiner looked at Zheng Hao with amusement, and Zheng Hao's lips curled into a slight smile: "It's simple! I don't want a [Silver Card], I want a [Gold Card]!!!"
"What?!"
"How...how do you know all this?!"
Upon hearing this, the examiner's expression changed drastically!
【Merchant Alliance Gold Card】.
This policy was only implemented this year.
The recipient of the [Gold Card] must meet one condition: all assessment items must be completed within 10 seconds, 10 seconds, and 60 seconds! This must be achieved without using [Talent] or the abilities of the [Ship Girl]!
I wonder about this kind of assessment...
Who can pass this?!
certainly!
Only those who reach this level deserve to hold a Gold Card!
The Gold Card grants the user the privilege of a 10% discount when participating in Merchant Guild auctions. It also grants priority in selecting participating Ship Girls when participating in the Merchant Ship Alliance's Black Ship Race.
This is the Merchant Shipping Alliance's way of taking care of and rewarding "special talents".
but...
Only the top management of the Merchant Shipping Alliance knew about this.
How did Zheng Hao find out?
The examiner's scrutinizing gaze swept over Zheng Hao, whose expression remained calm: "Where did I find out...you have no right to ask?"
"One sentence!"
"I'll show you that you made the right decision to stay today!"
With his chin held high in arrogance, Zheng Hao exuded the swagger of a perfect spoiled rich kid.
"you!"
"Okay...okay, okay!"
"Young Master Zheng, I hope... you won't disappoint me! And please don't make a fool of yourself during the assessment!"
Since Zheng Hao had already said so, the examiner's expression changed repeatedly, and he decided not to leave. Why not observe another assessment and, if he could find a more suitable candidate, why not?
"Suddenly!"
"Suddenly!"
"Suddenly!"
The pitch-black "Demon" sailed headlong into the "Rapid Current Zone." The examiner stood quietly to the side, starting to time the flow with a stopwatch: "Remember, Young Master Zheng, you can't use your 'Talent'!"
"My eyes can tell at a glance whether you've used your talent or not!"
As the examiner's voice came, Zheng Hao calmly walked into the captain's cabin.
Nestled in the arms of the floating Mo Yurou, Zheng Hao smiled and touched the watch on Mo Yurou's chest, then reached for the [Speed Up] button on Mo Yurou's thigh.
*Smack!*
It feels so smooth and delicate when you touch it...
Zheng Hao asked in surprise, "Yu Rou, has your skin improved recently?"
"Huh? Is there?"
"They say that when a ship girl has a navigator, her complexion improves. Is that the reason?"
"Oh, this..."
Lifting the silk gauze skirt, Zheng Hao smiled and said, "Do you still remember where I started?"
"Remember!"
"Increase the propeller speed directly, but don't launch the ship!"
"right..."
"Fill it up!!!"
"Snap~"
With a forceful slap, Mo Yurou pressed the "speed up" button, and the girl's long, white legs bounced and trembled.
"Um...be gentle..."
"Rat-a-tat-tat~"
Outside the "Devil Ship," layers of waves inexplicably exploded on the seabed.
The examiner narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene.
"Was it that strange launching method from that [wild boat race]?"
"Holy crap! It's here! It's here! Young Master Zheng's sky-high [launch start]!"
