Hope God's Blessing! The Flying Hope!

Whether it's the wasteland or Earth, in a zero-sum game market, it's always the timid who starve and the bold who thrive.

If it were Su Mo when he first arrived in the wasteland, even with the console open, he wouldn't dare to make such arbitrary choices to receive a blessing from a true god.

For the survivors living in the wasteland, they survived 63 days.

But for Su Mo, these were 153 days since he left Earth! In the group competition ruins, although Su Mo and the madmen of the Academy of Sciences were so busy every day that time lost some of its meaning.

But in the final battle that mobilized millions of creatures, Su Mo participated fully, commanded fully, and received the entire reward.

The Ascension Challenge was set up by the Ocean God.

Those who manage to overcome this challenge will generally experience significant personal growth.

Without a doubt, Su Mo has grown!

His ambition is like a plant seed sown in winter; it only needs the right time, only spring, to sprout and grow into a towering tree.

"Ocean God Bro, give us some support! It would be best if you could give the Hope a navigation skill, or a skill that can save its life!"

The Hope's current attack power is more than sufficient, at least for other marine creatures. Further increases would not have an immediate effect.

On the contrary, the only active skill so far is a rather useless charge.

With the demand established and the second reward in the distribution process underway, Su Mo silently prayed and stared wide-eyed at the ocean outside the porthole.

Every half hour, the sky changes color as the tide shifts between tsunami and calm.

At this moment, because the tsunami phase had not yet ended, the entire sky outside looked extremely gloomy, with a chilling apocalyptic yellow hue.

In the first second, the sea outside the porthole was still rippling, like noodles, causing the Hope to rise and fall.

In the fifth second, whether it was an illusion or not, the churning sea seemed to be closer in Su Mo's line of sight.

Ten seconds later, seeing the sea surface had moved another three to five meters closer, Su Mo was certain it wasn't his imagination; the Hope was sinking! "Holy crap, what is that? Did it give the Hope some kind of gravity manipulation ability? Increase its tonnage?"

Inside the cockpit, due to the anomaly of the Hope, Gonggong had already initiated the ship-wide alarm, and the four little ones who were in the cockpit also rushed out.

Compared to Su Mo in the Captain's Cabin the third floor, the four children standing on the Main Deck could better sense the current state of the Hope.

Previously, when the Hope was sailing on the sea, it was due to buoyancy.

After taking on water, the part of the vessel that floats on the surface of the water is basically kept at a depth of about 17 meters. Even in the current turbulent deep sea area, it can be firmly controlled at a depth of 15 meters or more.

But at that moment, upon hearing Gonggong's warning through the earpiece that there were only eight meters left, Su Mo suddenly stood up, his fingers resting on the earpiece, ready for any emergency.

At the thirtieth second, the bow of the Hope was only five meters above the sea surface.

At the forty-fifth second, the bow of the Hope was only two meters away from the sponge!

Even from the third floor, the view is still breathtaking!

The sky was overcast, and the rolling waves of the entire sea seemed to be right in front of us. The waves that had previously not reached the deck and the Captain's Cabin now only needed a small tumble to come crashing down, carrying torrents of seawater that pounded against the portholes.

At the current rate of sinking, in just fifteen seconds, the Main Deck of the Hope will sink directly into the sea, leaving only the part above the deck exposed.

In another half minute, even the Captain's Cabin will be flooded, and the entire ship will be completely submerged, becoming a "submarine".

"Stay calm, I'm controlling the Hope, don't panic!"

"Moore, quickly take Oreo and Big and Little Spark back to the cockpit and close the Watertight Door!"

As Moore frantically ran around on the deck, with Big and Little Spark flying everywhere, only Oreo nodded calmly.

Suppressing his unease, Su Mo quickly pressed the button on his earpiece and shouted.

If the only way to achieve this capability is to sink the Hope completely into the sea and be baptized.

Therefore, as long as it does not exceed one minute, the damage to the Hope is completely within an acceptable range.

Thinking this, and seeing the sea surface a meter closer, Su Mo simply rushed out of the Captain's Cabin and ran down the stairs.

With the title of Fifth Order: Ocean General, even though there are still raging tsunamis on the sea, it feels as warm and welcoming as coming home to Su Mo.

Just as the Hope was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, Su Mo decided to go down with it! "Come on, let's take a bath together!"

With a shout, he grabbed the Warship Flag hidden below the Main Deck and looked at the bow, which was almost level with the sea.

Su Mo held up the flag with one hand, his eyes seeming to pulsate with thunder.

At that moment, the Warship Flag, with the Su Character" printed on the front and "Hope" on the back, seemed to sense the call from Su Mo's heart. In an instant, it shone with Golden Light! Thump! Thump! Each time the bow of the ship struck the sea heavily, it caused a splash of water.

This time, seeing the bow of the ship about to sink with the sea, Su Mo simply closed his eyes and waited for the seawater to come.

However, he kept his eyes closed for three to five seconds.

When Su Mo suddenly realized what was happening and opened his eyes, the Hope, whose Main Deck had already sunk below the surface of the sea, showed no signs of taking on water.

A protective shield shimmering with a faint Golden Light slowly emanated from the Warship Flag bearing the word "Hope," enveloping the entire Hope!

The next second, thud! Before Su Mo could react, the entire ship suddenly sank, plunging directly into the water! "Holy crap, holy crap! The Hope is taking on water?!"

The sea surface was filled with rolling waves, and although there were currents flowing beneath the surface, it felt like entering another world compared to the surface.

One after another, the Treasure Fish hurriedly fled, curiously passing by the sunken Hope and eyeing the bewildered Su Mo standing at the bow.

A group of unidentifiable fish creatures, mixed among the Treasure Fish, extended goodwill to Su Mo, Ocean General, across the void.

Several curious jellyfish creatures lay on the golden membrane formed by the Warship Flag, wriggling contentedly as they breathed in and out.

Instead of showing the slightest fear at the "giant" that appeared underwater, all the marine life affectionately sucked it up, accompanying the Hope as it slowly moved forward.

"???"

He glanced at the Warship Flag in his hand, then at the creature following beside the Hope.

Su Mo looked up at the water and then stood at the bow of the boat, gazing down for a few seconds.

My eyes told Su Mo that the Hope had now become an "open-top" submarine, looking incredibly cool underwater, and the fish were cheering for me.

But his brain told Su Mo, "Holy crap, bro, run! The ship's already submerged! It's going to sink in a heartbeat!"

Feeling conflicted, Su Mo was stunned.

But at that moment, Moore excitedly flung open the Watertight Door to the cockpit behind him!

Whoosh... Boom! "Wow! Master, the Hope can swim too? Oh my, that was terrifying!"

"If I had known the Hope was this powerful, I wouldn't have been worried at all. I should have gone for a swim in the sea yesterday!"

"Oh dear, these fish actually want to come aboard the Hope! Come on in, Moore promises he won't eat you!"

Having received compulsory education and comprehensive training in scientific perspectives, this scene had an unparalleled impact on Su Mo.

It's a scene you can only imagine in movies, games, or dreams.

But what is it that the magical Hope cannot do for Moore?

[Congratulations, player Su Mo! Your vehicle, the Hope, has successfully received the blessing of the Ocean God and gained new active abilities.]

[Do you want to view the current Hope account's attributes?]

In the end, it was the game's notification sound that pulled Su Mo out of his daze.

Controlling his slightly numb consciousness, he focused his mental energy on the "Yes" option that popped up on the Game Panel.

The next second, a long-awaited panel of the Hope popped up completely.

[Affix: Flight - Hope (Sub-Legendary Class)]

[Description]: Legend has it that every ship blessed by the gods possesses unique abilities. These abilities may not be your trump card for conquering the ocean, but they will give your ship its own "legend." This is a powerful ship Ocean God's Blessing god. It appears and disappears mysteriously, sometimes "soaring" on the seabed, dancing with fish and shrimp, and playing with sea beasts; other times "hunting" on the surface of the sea, annihilating any enemy who overestimates its strength.

If you see it at sea or on the seabed, it means its captain is in a good mood. You might try extending a friendly lunch invitation to the captain. But if you see it slowly rising from the seabed, run away immediately, or you will suffer all the "wrath" of the Flying Hope! [Basic Ship Attributes]: Length 84.3 meters, Beam 12.9 meters, Height 21 meters, Draft 4.8 meters, Full Load Displacement 6900 tons, Diving Depth (Normal: 45 meters; Maximum: 60 meters) [Ship Durability]: 36000/36000 [Speed]: Cruising (Surface: 33 knots; Submerged: 40 knots), Maximum (Surface: 45 knots; Submerged: 55 knots) [Rare Shipboard Facilities]: Civilian Type II - All- Material Conversion Engine, R33 - Vertical Launching Missile Module, Hope Flag

[Special Abilities]: Charge (Epic Affix): Consumes 1% of the ship's durability to launch a five-minute charge in a designated target direction (speed: 100 knots). Upon colliding with the first unit, the accumulated energy is released, and the ship's speed returns to normal (can only be used once per natural day). Hedgehog (Epic Affix): When the enemy attacks the ship's hull, the hull will generate a fluctuating frequency of energy reflection, ignoring physical attacks below energy level 50, and has a very high probability of causing a counter-damage effect on the enemy (passive skill, cannot be upgraded).

Wave Breaker (Epic Attribute): The ship's perfectly streamlined shape gives it the ability to break through the waves. When sailing on calm seas, the ship's speed is increased by a fixed 8%, but this ability will be adjusted to a certain extent depending on the severity of the sea environment, with a maximum speed bonus of 80% (passive skill, cannot be upgraded).

Comfort (Epic Attribute): The blessing of the Ocean God grants this ship an incredible affinity with the sea. When the external waves are less than level 6, the creatures inside the ship will not feel any shaking by default. When the external waves are greater than level 6 but less than level 12, the shaking impact is reduced by 80%. When the external waves are greater than level 12, the shaking impact is reduced by 50% (Passive skill, cannot be upgraded).

Potential (Sub-Legendary Attribute): Upgrading the hull will provide more bonuses to the Hope's attributes (Passive Skill, Cannot be Upgraded).

Newborn (Sub-Legendary Rank): As the ocean overlord recognized by the Ocean God, the "Hope" will be nourished by seawater when sailing in the ocean. It can recover 20% of its durability every natural day, and this recovery can be stored up to 100% (passive skill, cannot be upgraded).

Hope (Legendary Affix): As a Sub-Legendary ship driven by Ocean General, the Hope has the ability to form a fleet. Once a fleet centered on the Hope is successfully formed, and certain conditions are met, the ability will be triggered, granting all ships in the fleet a 60% attribute bonus to the Hope (Trigger method: unknown). Flight (Legendary Affix): This is a powerful ship Ocean God's Blessing. Within the Ocean God's permission, the entire ship can freely "fly" underwater (Usage time: 180 minutes/day; Current remaining time: 169 minutes).
