Lin Chuqing found it odd that her grandfather was calling her so suddenly.

She casually replied, "Uncle Wang who sells fruit next door. Besides him, I can't think of anyone else."

After all, she really had no idea who else her grandfather might have in his social circle.

Hearing his granddaughter's unreliable answer, Old Man Lin didn't play coy. Instead, he chuckled and said, "That young man who came to do community service here before. You know, Su Wen, the college student who gave a lecture with Little Jiang a few days ago."

"!"

Hearing that, her tone instantly shifted into that of a sweet, darling granddaughter: "Grandpa, what did Su Wen want with you?"

Hearing his granddaughter's tone for the first time, even the old fox Lin Yunwen was speechless.

He really wanted to give Su Wen some fake information about the relic, so the young man could suffer a bit: "He's a Transcendent, preparing to enter a relic, and he's just giving me a heads-up before he goes."

Hearing this, Lin Chuqing finally made up her mind: "Aseia Life Technology's 'Aurora' mixture… I remember we have a quota at home. I'm going to awaken."

Hearing this, Old Man Lin's tone became more serious: "You little rascal, Transcendent no longer enjoy special privileges since the Westminster Equality Act was passed. On the contrary, they may encounter more dangers.

This will affect the possibilities for your entire future.

Besides, weren't you not interested in Transcendent advancement?"

"But after watching the movie released by Azure and learning about the Night Watcher Rhine's actions, I've changed my mind about Transcendent."

"Rhine, huh? Never mind you young people, even I, an old man, would like to see him in person.

I wonder which district produced such an outstanding talent."

Old Man Lin ultimately suppressed the matter: "Let's wait a little longer. You young people are easily impulsive, and the future situation is still unclear.

If you can still stick to this idea in six months, I won't stop you."

On the other side.

Su Wen returned home.

He had completed the reporting procedure and obtained Lin Yunwen's official stamp of approval.

In fifteen days, he would be able to take a direct flight to the Samoa Islands.

Moreover, the round-trip travel, including the relic exploration, could all be reimbursed at public expense.

Three days later.

Just as the 'Detroit Leis Angton Building Collapse' incident was being further exposed by Caroline, with more and more inside information, and Su Wen was having a great time following the trending topics.

The countdown in front of him started counting down without warning.

The new game had arrived.

[There are 15 natural days remaining until the 'Player's' scheduled death time] [Timer started] [Do you want to start the game?]

Su Wen looked at the countdown.

Now that he thought about it, his life was probably more likely to be in danger because of this 'crappy game'.

Rather than because of any relic exploration.

But he had no choice.

Besides, since these things really had a huge impact on the future timeline, there was no reason to refuse.

Su Wen pressed the confirm button.

The computer screen duly displayed the content of this game:

[Gravekeeper of the Sea Isle] [Game Type: Action Adventure] [Real-World Time Span: Thirteen Days] [Game Difficulty: Medium] [Game Background: Time: Early Origin Era, Location: Pacific Polynesian Region – Samoa Islands – Savai'i Main Island. The Tidal Sect seeks to please the Deep Abyss – the 41st Demon God, Focalor. They chose to initiate a 'Sacrifice' ritual at the Storm Cliff Relic at a time when the Order Keepers were far from the Savai'i Island area. Due to the special nature of the sacrifice target. The Abyss Demon – 'Storm Griffin Focalor' bestowed a 'Blessing' according to the contents of the sacrifice. The Abyss Border solidified. The waters of the First Island Chain were rendered impassable due to storm-induced rifts. Furthermore, the Storm Cliff Relic in the Polynesian region was transformed from a low-level relic into a crimson-red danger zone due to the spread of mental corruption from the Abyss Border. It wasn't until Origin Year 6 that the Lorenz Riel Academy of the Pacific Islands chose to send Transcendent individuals. After paying a massive price based on the lives of thirty-two Tier 3 Navigators and one Tier 4 Storm Anchor. The Doomsday Great Wall successfully closed the Border Gate linking to the Deep Abyss. This event is a sequel to the large-scale event chain 'Deep Sea Ruins – Homeward Voyage – Hurricane Ewiniar'. It may cause significant interference in future 'Song of Atlantisti' exploration, And trigger a widespread dangerous event: 'Storm Extinction'.] [Game Objectives:] [One Star: Eliminate Tidal Sect members and protect the sacrificed individuals] [Two Stars: Completely terminate the 'Deep Sea' sacrifice ritual] [Three Stars: Hidden Objective] [Note: Completing the minimum rating will prevent the player's death in reality.] [Trial Ability: 'Lamplighter': 1. You can converse with the dead. 2. By consuming Spiritual Energy to project the epic relic: 'Branlyte's Lantern'. You can gain the will and power of the departed for three minutes. (Hint: To gain the power of the departed, you must earn their approval.) (Note: Inherit their legacy; some have never truly left. Perhaps after the trial, you may gain some clues about the real 'Branlyte's Lantern'.]

The next second.

Su Wen found himself in a slightly bumpy cruise ship lounge on his screen.

Warm sunlight streamed into the cabin through round, oak-framed windows.

Making the scene feel somewhat cozy.

A recorded announcement played over the ship's intercom:

"Esteemed passengers, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

The Collin cruise ship will arrive at its destination for this voyage, Apia, the capital of Samoa Islands-Upolu Island.

You may choose whether or not to participate in shore excursions.

Additionally, This is a Collin announcer wishing all distinguished guests a pleasant night, enjoying the gentle sea breeze of the Pacific Ocean."

After listening to the ship's announcement.

Su Wen's computer screen also entered operable mode.

He looked around, and it was clear that he was in a well-appointed lounge.

But this time, the game presented a lot of information.

He didn't continue playing immediately.

Instead, he calmly pondered for five minutes:

"The aftermath of the Ewiniar event… so, after leaving the Deep Sea Ruins and starting the return voyage..."

"The disaster encountered by the Voyager was probably not accidental."

As for the game and reality having the same destination, the Samoa Islands...

He didn't know if he should consider himself unlucky or fortunate.

However, after building Lighthouse 43 and saving Professor Jiang, Jiang Menghan's father, Su Wen simply considered it a stroke of luck.

He smiled gently, casually opened a can of soda, and prepared to clear this game with an enjoyable mindset.

Just like the previous starts, the first thing Su Wen did in the game was to appraise the ship:

[Appraisal: Giant cruise ship 'Collin' under the name of the multinational merchant group, Fals. Currently, the ship's sailing condition is good, with no yawing. ] [Hint: Due to a crew member on the ship possessing the 'Enlightenment Extraordinary Characteristic: Scan Shielding'] [Chief Player's rank is too low, the effect of the 'Appraisal Skill' is reduced.]

On the table was also a deep blue ship ticket with a gold-gilded border:

[Voyage Information: Vladivostok - Samoa Islands] [Passenger Cabin Information: B17_Substandard Cabin] [Warm Reminder: This ticket allows you to attend the ferry dinner]

After looking at the time on the clock hanging in the cabin, Su Wen analyzed:

"It's 4:03 PM now, there's still some time before the dinner.

So, the time allotted should be for collecting information on the ferry passengers."

He put on the black windbreaker hanging in the entrance of the rest cabin and calmly said:

"It's time to go out and take a look."
