First Member of the Seafaring Squad

After leaving the lab, Beibei, who had essentially been used as a tool, thought for a moment and then asked, "Captain Zhou, do you... still have any Extreme Ice Divine Crystal?"

Zhou Huan looked at Beibei and gave him a sincere smile, "Yes, Senior Bei, do you want to buy one? I think your Tang Sect's All-Terrain Self-Propelled Soul Tool Cannon Platform is pretty good. How about fifty Extreme Ice Divine Crystal for one?"

Upon hearing this, Beibei's eye twitched. "... No, no need. With this batch of Extreme Ice Divine Crystal, Master Xuan should have enough for his research for a long time."

In his heart, he thought to himself, "What a joke! The entire Tang Sect only has sixty-one All-Terrain Self-Propelled Soul Tool Cannon Platform right now. Trading one for fifty Extreme Ice Divine Crystal?"

Perhaps the value of an All-Terrain Self-Propelled Soul Tool Cannon Platform is less than that of fifty Extreme Ice Divine Crystal.

However, for a sect leader, sometimes the value of things cannot be calculated in this way.

Because a single All-Terrain Self-Propelled Soul Tool Cannon Platform is a powerful combat force; but fifty Extreme Ice Divine Crystal might just be experimental materials for Xuan Ziwen.

This isn't a question of whether Beibei is short-sighted or not, but rather that managers and researchers occupy different positions, hence their different directions of thinking.

Seeing that Beibei had no intention of exchanging for the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal, Zhou Huan did not force her.

Anyway, he only wants to get an All-Terrain Self-Propelled Soul Tool Cannon Platform as a toy, just for novelty. This thing doesn't actually help his current strength.

Zhou Huan did not stay at the Tang Sect for long and soon left.

Before leaving, Zhou Huan casually asked Beibei about Huo Gua's situation and found out that the kid wasn't in the Tang Sect anymore. Apparently, he had gone out to train, and Beibei didn't know where he had gone.

Zhou Huan thought that perhaps Electrolux had made some arrangements.

Furthermore, because Zhou Huan interfered in the Beast Tide, Huo Gua never even saw Di Tian, so the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda will not happen, at least not now.

In fact, Zhou Huan didn't care whether or not Spirit Pagoda would be built, because in his view, the establishment of such a thing would actually accelerate the extinction of Soul Beast.

According to the original plan, Huo Gua's original intention was to allow Soul Beast on the verge of death to accompany human Soul Master in their cultivation, thereby seeking a sliver of opportunity to become gods.

But Zhou Huan knew that, in reality, apart from Huo Gua, it was impossible for anyone to become Deity with Soul Spirit within at least 20,000 years.

Let alone becoming Deity, even breaking through to the god level is extremely unlikely.

Therefore, the Soul Spirit is actually just a pie in the sky used to lure Soul Beast.

Which Soul Beast that becomes Soul Spirit hasn't lived for tens of thousands of years?

Then he killed himself, becoming Soul Spirit that could only live for one or two hundred years, at most three hundred years?

Because it's impossible for all Soul Beast that become Soul Spirit to be on the verge of death; in fact, such a situation is extremely rare.

Therefore, in most cases, becoming Soul Spirit actually shortens the lifespan of Soul Beast.

Therefore, Zhou Huan felt that the Spirit Pagoda was dispensable; he would not deliberately hinder its creation, nor would he guide its establishment.

The reason Zhou Huan took this opportunity to inquire about Huo Gua's whereabouts was to see where the Son of Destiny, guided by Electrolux, would go and whether he could escape the chessboard.

But Huo Gua has only been back for a few days, and he's already run off again.

This left Zhou Huan somewhat confused.

However, Zhou Huan was just thinking casually; Huo Gua, the protagonist with such a tragic fate, had to walk his own path.

After leaving the Tang Sect and standing on the bustling streets of Shrek City, Zhou Huan was suddenly filled with emotion. It had been almost nineteen years since he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.

Even now, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I still find it hard to believe.

But whenever Zhou Huan sees Zhang Lexuan, Xiao Xiao, Wang Qingya, Wen Xiaoshuai, and others, she feels that it all is incredibly real.

But in these nearly nineteen years of his life, Zhou Huan felt as if he had lived a whole lifetime.

The main problem is that so much happens here.

When you're weak, you're afraid that you might get killed one day if you're not careful. At this time, Douluo is not a society governed by the rule of law.

Even now, countless Deity still stand overhead.

Although Zhou Huan didn't think he was that important to the Deity, he just didn't like the feeling of being potentially killed at any moment.

Whether you call it needless worry or simply being cautious, Zhou Huan always wanted to control his own destiny.

Especially seeing Huo Gua, this tragic Son of Destiny, serves as a stark warning from the opposite perspective.

"Bite!"

Huh? Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, his first thought being, "Damn, I got a system?"

The next second, Zhou Huan saw a three or four-year-old girl holding a bell fall to the ground, and the sound was coming from the little bell in her hand.

Instantly, Zhou Huan breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't a system visit after all.

Don't ask Zhou Huan why he breathed a sigh of relief. As a veteran online novel reader, he has seen all sorts of bizarre and varied million-dollar systems, but at least half of them are scams.

Zhou Huan, now a Super Douluo, certainly doesn't want to be tricked by some damn system.

Just as Zhou Huan's imagination was running wild, a blonde girl helped up the little girl who had just fallen, and with the gentle demeanor of a big sister, comforted her, "Little sister, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

"Woo-wah~ woo-wah~"

The little girl cried even louder when she heard the comforting words.

Just then, a middle-aged woman, still wearing an apron, strode over imposingly, grabbed the little girl, and glared at the blonde girl. "You're such a grown woman, how dare you bully a child!"

The blonde girl was stunned for three seconds. "..."

The older woman ignored the blonde girl and instead wiped away the little girl's tears. "Don't cry, little one. I'll give you candy when we get back, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl stopped crying abruptly, then smiled. As the older woman turned her around while holding her, she even made a face at the blonde girl.

The blonde girl was stunned for another three seconds. "..."

Zhou Huan, who witnessed the entire scene, immediately burst into laughter.

Hearing the maniacal laughter, the blonde girl's face turned ashen as she strode towards Zhou Huan, angrily shouting, "Are you crazy?! What are you laughing at?!"

Then, Zhou Huan laughed even louder, laughing for a full minute before finally suppressing her laughter and saying, "I'm telling you, Ye Toutie, if that idiotic expression you made just now had been filmed, it could have become the most popular internet meme."

This blonde girl who did a good deed but was criticized by an older woman and mocked by a child—isn't that Ye Guyi, Ye Toutie?

Ye Guyi, of course, couldn't understand Zhou Huan's "nonsense" at all, but she didn't intend to ask what Zhou Huan meant. Instead, she said, "I call this being kind-hearted, unlike you who just stood there quietly watching when a child fell down."

Zhou Huan shook her head and said, "You wouldn't understand."

Ye Guyi didn't intend to understand, and then asked, "Are you so free? Shopping alone?"

Zhou Huan rolled his eyes speechlessly. "I'm not sick. What's a grown man doing shopping in the middle of the day? I just went to the Tang Sect and am heading back to the academy. By the way, how are things at Earth Dragon Gate?"

Ye Guyi sighed softly and said, "Life is comfortable and carefree, but it's a bit too boring. Every day, besides sparring with Qiuqiu, it's just sparring with Qiuqiu. That's why I came out for a stroll."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Guyi suddenly said, "How about you take me to kill Evil Soul Master when you have time?"

Zhou Huan: "... I think you're the one who's sick."

Ye Guyi: "..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan continued, "I'll be going out to sea in a few months. Would you be interested in coming?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "Okay, okay." She hadn't considered that going to sea was actually a very dangerous thing.

Zhou Huan looked at Ye Toutie, speechless for a moment. After chatting for a few more minutes, he said goodbye, "Alright, I'll come find you at the Earth Dragon Gate later. I'm going back to the academy now."

Watching Zhou Huan's departing figure, Ye Guyi called out again, "Remember to come find me! I'll be waiting for you!"

Zhou Huan almost stumbled and fell flat on her face, mainly because the girl's words and tone were too easy to misunderstand.

Actually, Zhou Huan's invitation to Ye Guyi to go out to sea together wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had originally planned to go to Dragon Valley with Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Xiao to run dungeons.

Having multiple Ye Toutie doesn't seem to matter much now, since the Ye Toutie is tough enough to withstand strong winds and waves at sea.

Let's form a small sea voyage team to Dragon Valley and fleece the Dragon Clan... uh, no, fleece the dragons? That's not quite right either. Anyway, we'll just go to a dungeon and let our friends get some benefits.
