Look at That Fishman-Doesn't He Look Like a Lightning Rod?

Meow~

Ambiguous sounds came from inside the cabin.

Xu Nan flipped through the book with one hand while vigorously kneading the treasure chest with the other.

There was no way around it; this Ghoul Loli was just too special. If Xu Nan hadn't had the training manual, he probably would have been startled by her sudden transformation into a Chalk Cat.

That's right, Xu Nan is currently holding the Chalk Cat's neck with one hand and kneading it, and it's not hard to tell from her expression that she is enjoying it very much.

The Chalk Cat is said to be a divine creature that roams north of the Nether Sea and has close ties with ghouls and evil spirits. However, in many parts of the Pro World, people regard it as a divine creature, believing that it emerges from the mud unsullied.

It now seems that the working people of the Pro World had a misconception.

The Chalk Cat and the Ghoul Loli are clearly the same creature.

Although Xu Nan wasn't entirely sure, the fact before him was this: the creature in front of him was switching between two extremely unstable states— Chalk Cat and Ghoul Loli!

The Chalk Cat is very active and will frantically scratch at treasure chests, making infuriating noises. Xu Nan has to use one hand to massage her neck to soothe her.

But the Ghoul Loli was very quiet. As Xu Nan touched her, he suddenly felt that the creature in the treasure chest had become much softer, especially the round, soft lump of flesh that he was kneading...

Oops, Xu Nan glanced at it and withdrew her hand without making a sound. It turned out she had pinched her cheek.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time this had happened. At first, Xu Nan would blush, but now he was indifferent to it. His eyes no longer couldn't help but steal glances at certain places. After all, the long hair of the Ghoul Loli always covered the vital parts perfectly, which both aroused endless imagination and prevented the 404 crisis.

That's brilliant.

As Xu Nan put his finger into the Ghoul Loli's mouth, feeling the force of her sucking, he flipped through a book—don't misunderstand, Xu Nan isn't a pervert, this is the best way he's figured out to calm down the two types of treasure chest creatures.

Xu Nan couldn't very well let the trainees know about this situation before he knew exactly what had happened, could he?

Others will misunderstand.

If everyone thinks Xu Nan is so perverted as to raise a little girl in a treasure chest, how will they look at him?

After all, one must be a role model for others!

"Although the book mentions this situation, it doesn't explain it in detail. Ghouls are a very special race, different from the undead and also different from their close relatives, evil spirits. And Chalk Cat are completely different creatures."

"Did the Treasure Chest God send this thing to mess with me? Why is my face so dark? Is it some kind of ghoul or ashes?"

Xu Nan searched through the entire manual but couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the appearance of the Chalk Cat.

She looked very hungry. Xu Nan could feel the force of her sucking on her fingers, but without teeth, she definitely couldn't chew food.

Xu Nan prepared a can of formula for her and tried to feed her with a bottle. But as soon as she swallowed the formula, she turned into Chalk Cat and vomited up a lot of milk.

The milky white liquid on the ground was an eyesore.

What's even stranger is that she refused to leave the treasure chest no matter what.

Xu Nan examined the silver-white treasure chest and realized that it seemed to be different from the other treasure chests.

There were too many talismans and spells on the surface, and they even seemed to have a touch of divinity.

Yes, it smells like Ash Box.

Don't get me wrong, Xu Nan didn't secretly taste Tiamat's remains; he was just more sensitive to that taste.

"Could it be that the Treasure Chest God is messing with me?"

Xu Nan closed the treasure chest with some frustration. The only thing that comforted him was that there was no sound coming from inside when he closed the lid.

It was as if the Chalk Cat and the Ghoul Loli were just Xu Nan's hallucinations.

"Hopefully no one else will see this..."

Xu Nan sighed heavily.

Then someone next to me raised a hand and said, "I saw it."

Lulu flew out timidly.

Xu Nan rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I hope no third person sees this."

Lulu was very understanding. "Is Lord Xu Nan troubled by this mimic? No problem, Lulu can help you cover it up."

She then pulled out a miniature staff, chanted a few words, and suddenly, the treasure chest shrank at a visible speed, becoming about the size of Xu Nan's thumb.

Xu Nan was overjoyed.

Lulu even added a grass chain to the treasure chest, Xu Nan casually hung around his neck.

The Fairy Nymph is indeed a born mage, which is very convenient.

Xu Nan praised it, then suddenly felt a little regretful that he had confirmed his previous magical pet too early.

Lulu imagined herself to be much more capable, but unfortunately, a warlock can only have one magical pet, Xu Nan couldn't sign a contract with her and enjoy more conveniences.

As for that idiot Tom, Xu Nan just chuckled.

In the dungeon, a girl dressed in a panda skin running around suddenly stopped and sneezed:

"Who is cursing me?"

"Damn, I finally reached level six and can now master the human Transformation Technique! Now that I'm born as a human, I can no longer steal things from shopping malls."

"But to celebrate, we still need to go shopping. Hmm, let's use Xu Nan's card!"

Following the new map in the instructor's handbook, the cruise ship silently sailed out of the area of First Sun Lake.

Today, Five Yang Lake has expanded many times over. Standing at the highest point, Xu Nan could see that when the shadow of the Lake Heart Island disappeared into the distance, he felt a sense of sailing.

The students below also became busy, since this area seemed to be within the Bluescale Fish's territory.

Not long after, anxious voices came from below!

"Report—!"

"Teacher! Tang Haibao has been speared away by a fishman!"

Xu Nan looked closely and saw that the cruise ship had indeed stopped moving. On the lake, two furtive shadows were walking on the water, and an innocent seal was being held by two harpoons, pitifully running into the distant mist!

Fortunately, they were discovered in time. The two Blue Scale Fishmen were stunned by Xu Nan's two precise Arcane Missile, thus saving Tang Haibao from danger.

"Everyone, we've already fallen into the Fishmen's clutches. Don't be careless; these Fishmen aren't Fallen Frogman."

Xu Nan's expression was serious, and the trainees became even more solemn. The fishmen, with their advantageous terrain, appeared and disappeared unpredictably in Five Yang Lake, causing headaches even for formal members of the Thousand Rays Society, let alone the Training Camp members.

The Blue Scale Fishmen are the weakest of the Five-Colored Fishmen, but to eliminate them, it would still require a large number of Training Camp members, including a group led by Jiang Yuanchi.

As Xu Nan was lost in thought, the scene in the water ahead suddenly changed, as if the water had lost all its vitality.

The cruise ship slowly sailed in and soon came to a stop.

Xu Nan's heart skipped a beat. He was just about to use the level six spell [Arcane Eye] to scout the situation ahead when the clamor came from below again!

"Report—!"

"Teacher! Tang Haibao is floating motionless on the water!"

Xu Nan had everyone fish him out, but the boy looked dejected and seemed completely unaware of what had happened.

Logically, there were no fishmen nearby when he fainted.

Xu Nan was just racking his brains for a solution when the shouts started again from below!

"Report—!"

"Teacher! Tang Haibao..."

Xu Nan was furious. "What happened to Tang Haibao this time? Was he captured by a monster?"

The boys below were startled and rubbed their hands together, looking somewhat aggrieved. "... Tang Haibao refuses to go into the water for anything!"

Xu Nan jumped off the mast. There was nothing he could do, and he couldn't entirely blame the kids. Although he looked cool standing there, it was indeed a bit troublesome for them to contact him.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Xu Nan glanced at the humanoid Tang Haibao, who was shivering in a bath towel. Tang Haibao looked aggrieved, then suddenly had a bright idea. With a bang, he transformed into a Shiba Inu and ran around happily on the deck. "I can't swim!"

While Xu Nan found it amusing, she didn't want to make things difficult for the child, since this body of water did indeed seem somewhat eerie.

"Alright, get ready for battle. I'll take the helm myself!"

Xu Nan, full of vigor, jumped off the mast again.

In the distance, a dark cloud is slowly approaching.

But Xu Nan wasn't afraid. He began to chant a level six spell—Summon Wind Spirit!

Summoning the four elemental spirits from the elemental planes is one of the essential spells for both home and travel.

Before long, a large, burly Wind Spirit arrogantly appeared beside Xu Nan. The sails that were originally just decorations on the cruise ship now truly became the driving force for its progress!

Driven by the Wind Spirit, the cruise ship, like the Black Pearl, rushed into the waters ahead with unstoppable momentum!

According to the instructor's manual, after breaking through the waters ahead, we arrived at Thousand Sand Island, which is currently occupied by the Thousand Rays Society. The other three practical course instructors and their teams are stationed here!

Standing on the mast, Xu Nan was filled with excitement and ordered full speed ahead!

In that instant, he felt like Jack Sparrow from the Galle Pirates!

In an instant, the cruise ship was soaring high, and the dark clouds in the distance drew ever closer.

At that moment, anxious shouts came from below:

"Report—!"

"Teacher! Tang Haibao is recalling the feeling of being knocked unconscious!"

"He was stunned by the electric shock!"

The wind was strong, Xu Nan couldn't hear clearly. He leaned against the mast with one hand, making a gesture of listening intently.

What are you?

The man roared at the top of his lungs, "He... he was electrocuted!"

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the night-like lake surface and splitting Xu Nan, who was standing on the mast posing arrogantly, Wind Spirit into two unchanging beams of white light!

The lighthouse on Thousand Sand Island in the distance.

A girl cheered excitedly. "Teacher! Look at that fishman, he looks like a lightning rod!"

With a dazed look in his eyes, Teacher Jiang nodded. "Pass on my order: increase the intensity of the lightning strike."

"The fishmen can all sail boats now; they've progressed too fast."

Half an hour later, the cruise ship struggled and stubbornly made its way through the minefield, finally crashing into the beach.

Most of the trainees stayed safely inside the cabin.

Xu Nan, covered in charred soot, smelled the flesh of his own body and watched the lightning resistance increase by 1 flashing in the system, feeling neither sorrow nor joy.

"I just want to know, who gave the order to fire?"

Xu Nan looked calmly at the group of Training Camp participants and asked.

"Hey, Fish Tripe Junior, is this the latest smoky eye makeup?"

A familiar voice came from over.

"I just saw a group of murlocs attacking from your direction. Did you intercept them halfway?"

...!
