Chapter 352
Rhodes Island, This Ship.
The Doctor, Amiya, and the others disembarked from the deck, preparing to head to Sistag City.
Eve was very active, and Hemo stayed by her side to prevent her from suddenly hurting someone and causing a bad outcome.
Before parting, Amiya asked:
"Doctor Kal'tsit, are you going?"
"I guess you're not interested in the answer, after all, it's been a long, long time since you last went to the beach."
Seeing the Doctor's speechless expression, Amiya quickly deciphered the Kai language and promptly interrupted, saying:
"Alright, Doctor Kal'tsit. You go ahead with your work, we'll be going now."
Before setting off, they encountered Rhodes Island operator Skyfire and Provence near their This Ship and greeted them:
"The Doctor, where are you going to have fun?"
"I'm taking Eve out for a stroll, what about you guys?"
"The Doctor, we're going to check out the foot of the Sistag volcano to see if we can find anything."
Amiya immediately realized the problem and asked:
"Is it because the data from the volcano detection is different from the data sent by Ifrit?"
"Maybe."
Provence could not confirm this, explaining:
"No, the Doctor. It's just that Skyfire suddenly decided to go to the volcano for an on-site investigation. As Catastrophe Messenger, we have a habit of traveling around to assess risks, so you don't need to worry about us."
"Okay, then you guys be careful."
Skyfire and Provence waved goodbye to the Doctor and Amiya:
Bye-bye, see you later.
July 31, 11:18 AM
Perhaps it's influenced by the upcoming Obsidian Music Festival tomorrow, or perhaps Sistag's musical atmosphere is simply already quite rich.
After Shi Lei and his group left the hotel, they could see people playing pianos outdoors on the street. Others placed their hats in front of them and elegantly played the violin and guitar.
In contrast, it's not so unusual to see travelers dancing to the music.
The group, armed with tourist guidebooks, followed the route map from Second Avenue to the nearest beach.
There are many travelers here, of all races.
Using his Psychic Power, Shi Lei discovered that three children had crushed potato chips and added something extra. He suspected these mischievous kids wanted to feed them to seagulls to cause widespread "sky droppings," so he punished them remotely.
The children were spanked hard, but they didn't know who did it, and they ran crying to their mother.
Sunlight spills across the coastline, stretching out to the distant horizon. From the street level, it resembles a patchwork of golden sea. The fine sand, like flowing sand, shimmers with a subtle glow.
Shi Lei and the others walked towards the beach. The sand under their feet was not uncomfortable, so it didn't matter if they didn't wear shoes.
The waves surged ashore, yet they did not submerge the sandcastles. It was as if the beautiful memories left by visitors here had been successfully preserved, untouched by the Erosion of time.
As the eleven people walked towards the beach, many tourists noticed them.
Dragon, Lupo, and the red-haired and white-haired Sarkaz. Four stunningly beautiful women with incredibly hot figures surrounded a man. Passersby were filled with envy and jealousy, their teeth clenching with jealousy.
Shi Lei and the others strolled on the beach and eventually found a secluded spot.
He didn't buy a parasol or a beach chair, but instead took them out of the bag in a rather elaborate manner. He wanted to avoid being recognized by passersby and startling them into silence.
After the parasols and beach chairs were installed, Texas took out a small bottle and handed it to him:
"Shi Lei, could you help me apply sunscreen? I can't reach my back because I'm using my other hand."
Mudrock also brought sunscreen, and seeing this, she certainly wouldn't let her get there first, so she moved closer:
"Sir, could you please help me apply some sunscreen? I can't reach my back, I need your help."
Xi was secretly annoyed when she saw this.
Because she hadn't bought any sunscreen, she asked Shi Lei to help her apply it, which created the concept of physical contact.
Since that's the case, then let's not apply any more paint:
"If you can't touch your backs, can't you help each other apply sunscreen?"
Shi Lei thought that made sense and agreed:
"Yes, you can just paint on each other. Let's play until 12:30, then we'll go get something to eat."

Seeing Xi's mischief, they made the two of them smear each other with paint. Texas and Mudrock were speechless but helpless.
Shi Lei sat on a beach chair and asked the group:
Do you have any recommended entertainment options?
Exusiai crossed her arms over her chest and spoke:
Beach volleyball?
Shi Lei shook his head, feeling that it was not suitable at the moment:
"It's almost noon, let's play beach volleyball this afternoon. Otherwise, it would be really disappointing to be interrupted halfway through the game to go eat."
Texas had been preparing for this trip to Sistag for over a month. She pretended to think for a moment, then offered her suggestion:
"How about we play Blindfolded Watermelon Smashing?"
"Shoot a watermelon?"
Shi Lei looked around, somewhat puzzled:
"This game is only for one person, but there are eleven of us here."
"So what? We're about to have lunch anyway, so we'll just have to take as many as we can."
He thought Texas made sense and agreed after consulting with others.
However, watermelons must be purchased from vendors in Sistag. They cannot be replaced with Rock Constructs, Pure Gold, or iron orbs.
The Sarkaz mercenary V, quick-witted as ever, volunteered to find a nearby shop to buy watermelons. He returned shortly after, carrying five watermelons back to the scene.
Shi Lei laid a thin layer of Rock Constructs above the beach to prevent watermelon juice from splashing everywhere later. He also put Jade Shield on everyone to prevent them from being accidentally injured.
"So, who wants to go first?"
Everyone looked at each other, as if they had hot dogs stuffed in their mouths, and remained silent.
In the end, Exusiai, with her hands covering her chest, revealed the answer that everyone had in mind:
"Of course it's you."
Seeing everyone's gazes fixed on him, Shi Lei stopped refusing. With a flick of his right hand, he conjured a black iron mask with extremely strong light-blocking properties and put it on his face.
"Come on, you guys set out the watermelons."
In fact, he could use his diffused Psychic Power to precisely pinpoint the watermelon's location, thus ensuring a direct hit and smashing it to pieces.
Yes, but it's not necessary.
The purpose of this trip to Sistag was simply to relax and have fun, so there's no need to worry too much about winning or losing.
Shi Lei withdrew his externally projected Psychic Scan and signaled to everyone that he was ready.
After V arranged the watermelons, Texas, Mudrock, and Yu took turns reporting the watermelon locations to him.
"A little to the left."
"Shi Lei, move a little to the left."
"Don't give me that wrong number, it's too far to the left."
"A little to the right, and a little forward."
"Take two steps forward, yes, this is it!"
Shi Lei is no longer an ordinary person, and he knows to hold back when playing these kinds of recreational games.
Based on the directions given by the three women, he pointed forward and gently waved his hand!
"Smack!"
As the watermelon shattered, everyone present cheered.
"Yay, I got it!"
"Shi Lei, you're amazing!"
Shi Lei took off his mask and, sure enough, saw that the watermelon was smashed beyond recognition. If the Koreans from his previous world saw this, they would definitely scold him for wasting such a precious resource.
"Who's next? Lisa?"
"OK!"
Lisa took the black iron rod and put on the mask that adjusted to fit her face in real time. Under the guidance of her older siblings, she swung the rod and hit the watermelon three times before finally succeeding.
Then Mudrock, Miss Nian, and Texas took turns playing, and the scene looked very harmonious.
Surtr wasn't interested in smashing watermelons, nor did she really want to participate. Perhaps only chilled watermelon juice could win over her desire for something icy cold.
V discovered they weren't enough watermelons along the En route, so he secretly left the group to buy some. By the time Exusiai and the four Sarkaz had successfully smashed their watermelons, it was already noon.
Seeing the tourists leaving the beach one after another, Shi Lei and the others prepared to follow.
Luckily, we used Rock Constructs to pave the ground, so even if there were watermelon chunks everywhere, we could just gather them up and pack them up to take away.
However, Shi Lei didn't walk too fast, because there were fewer tourists at this time, which was the perfect time to enjoy the scenery.
Waves lapped rhythmically against the beach, creating a sound as beautiful as heavenly music.
The pristine white waves, set against the backdrop of the blue sky, are exceptionally magnificent. They bring a refreshing and salty scent to the beach. As the waves recede, they leave behind white foam, a sight that soothes the soul.
What are we having for lunch?
"I don't know, let's see what food they have."
The group returned to the street and found many takoyaki carts and seafood vendors at the intersection.
To be honest, Shi Lei now possesses the body of a demon god. His digestive system is as strong as steel. Even if he eats a lot of seafood, he shouldn't have any allergic reactions.
But this is something he instinctively resists, and he is unwilling to try it regardless of whether he is allergic to it.
Shi Lei walked down the charming street of Sistag when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
"Hello, Mister Zhongli."
He turned around at the sound and saw Ifrit, who was lively and energetic, as well as Hemo, Amiya, and the Doctor.
"What a coincidence, we've run into you again."
Shi Lei meant that he had met you guys before in Kazimierz, and now he had the audacity to run into you again on vacation.
The Doctor immediately understood and explained:
"Ifrit wanted to go out and have fun, and since there was a music festival going on here, I brought her over to check it out."
July 31, 0:30 pm
At the foot of Sistag volcano, in an undeveloped area.
Skyfire pushed aside the thick vines and complained:
"Provence, can't I just set this on fire and burn it all away? Look at yourself, these branches and vines are really getting in the way. If we want to get deeper into the volcano, we have to clear these obstacles."
Upon hearing this, Provence stopped in her tracks:
