Late at night, the Circus fleet arrived at the port of Thousand Streams Island.
The port dispatchers were stunned when they saw the two ships returning from the deep sea.
Scarface and the others couldn't wait to disembark.
They cheered excitedly as they ran towards the city.
It's truly remarkable that they managed to come back alive.
"Good night."
After greeting Qin Ze, the Fairy disembarked and disappeared into the vast night.
Qin Ze said to everyone, "You should all return to Sea Capital tonight."
The spoils of war urgently need to be stored.
Captain Hook waved his hand impatiently. "How are we supposed to get off if you don't get off the ship?"
Qin Ze rolled his eyes.
After he left, the fleet set sail again.
Qin Ze's room was on the tenth floor, right next to Xia Huai'an's.
In the dead of night, to avoid waking others, Qin Ze's dog sneakily climbed out of the window.
The windowsill was high, and I didn't pay attention to the distance when I landed, so I fell flat on my backside with a "thud".
The clone on the bed scoffed mercilessly, "Truly a precious item."
Qin Ze snorted and recalled his clone.
He took a quick shower to wash away the smell of the sea.
Just as I was about to lie down, I suddenly heard a "thud" from next door, like someone had fallen on their bottom.
Qin Ze quickly knocked on the door of the next room.
"Sister Huai'an, are you alright?"
A moment later, Xia Huai'an opened the door, still wearing the same pajamas as during the day, looking listless.
"It's nothing, I just slipped and fell because of the wind."
Qin Ze glanced into the bedroom.
The window was half open.
The sea breeze at night lifted the window curtains, causing them to sway gently.
The blankets on the bed were pushed to one side, and under the blankets, Qin Ze seemed to see a splash of red?
"Go to sleep. The weather will be nice tomorrow morning, so we'll head back to Sea Capital," Xia Huai'an said.
Qin Ze nodded.
They said goodnight to each other, and he returned to his room.
Xia Huai'an gave him a strange feeling.
His expression was stiff and unnatural, as if he were overworked.
Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh.
Both men and women must learn to exercise restraint.
Even late at night, the key chat group remains very active, thanks to the presence of the "Dragon King" Fairy.
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Back to Thousand Streams Island! Guess what I got this time? Beast Tamer, don't tell me yet!]
[ Beast Tamer:...]
[ On the Slacking on the Sidelines: You've already finished the continental marathon so quickly! I suggest you Human Race in the next Myriad Races Games.]
[ Passerby A: What does this have to do with Beast Tamer?]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Of course, this was a joint operation between Qin Ze and me.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: Huh? Qin Ze isn't on the island?]
[ Passerby A: Is Little Deer with Qin Ze too?]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: We came to the island to do a mission, but we're temporarily staying here because of the typhoon. Qin Ze has been in seclusion in his room since the night before last, and he hasn't even touched the food that was brought to his door.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I was wondering why he suddenly started cultivating, turns out he secretly slipped out of Thousand Streams Island ]
Qin Ze could sense Lu Tongtong's resentment between the lines.
[ Fairies Don't Poop: We've gone off-topic. Guess what I got this time?]
[ Passerby A: A sea monster?]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: low]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: the defense, I guess it's based on the defense]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: →_→]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Could it be the Source of the World?]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: That's right! It's the Source of the World!]
The chat group fell silent instantly.
The next second, everything exploded.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Holy crap! What did I miss?!]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: I can't understand it, but I'm deeply impressed]
[ Passerby A: Oh, this...]
The Fairy then gave a general account of what had happened, omitting the Circus and only mentioning that she and Qin Ze had joined forces to take down the shipping company manager and obtain the Source of the World.
[ Fairies Don't Poop: @Beast Tamer, I'll find someone to withdraw the money tomorrow. I'll pay the handling fee myself, and then transfer it to you after the withdrawal.]
[ Beast Tamer: That won't do, let's split it in half!]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Then let's split it in half]
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
I was just being polite, but why couldn't you have insisted a little longer?
The Fairy didn't reveal the identity of the Beast Tamer's Troupe Leader, which surprised Qin Ze; she actually took the initiative to keep it a secret.
The group then started talking about sea mammals.
Apart from the Fairy, no one else clearly knew about the connection between the sea monster and the Source of the World.
The Fairy then repeated what she had said to Qin Ze on the ship to the others.
Everyone reacted with a sense of "unparalleled" astonishment.
Qin Ze hadn't gotten much rest during the past two days at sea.
Lying on the soft bed, I fell asleep soon after.
The next day, the weather was sunny.
Xia Huai'an notified Qin Ze and the others to return to Sea Capital.
Sitting on the cruise ship, the professional team all felt a sense of joy.
Huai Xu stretched and yawned. "Finally, the sun is out. If it rained again, I would have grown mushrooms."
The fat man nodded. "Who says otherwise?"
The journey is long.
A professional team is in a fully equipped suite.
Three fat guys playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Qin Ze stood by the window, gazing at the calm, azure sea.
During this time, Qin Ze noticed that Lu Tongtong was always secretly looking at him.
Every time he turned around, the little girl would swiftly turn her face away.
What a strange girl.
The Circus fleet arrived at Sea Capital Port early in the morning.
It seems the Fairy had notified the Law Enforcement Department in advance.
A team of Law Enforcement had been waiting for some time.
The shipping company's crew members were all taken away.
As for the boat, the leading Law Enforcement Team said it was up to the Captain Hook and his men to handle.
Although he hadn't originally planned to pay it back, Captain Hook's mouth still stretched to his ears when he heard the news.
A number of hunting boats were preparing to set sail from the port.
When the crew members of the other fishing boats saw the keel and the carcass of the bulb fish being towed behind the armed ship, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Numerous marine mammal buyers flocked to the area, eager to purchase the bulb fish and other marine mammals.
The Circus kept the dragon bones and light bulb fish bones for themselves.
The fish meat and other marine carcasses were packaged together and sold to these buyers.
When they saw the eight zeros in the account balance, all the clones clamored to go and have some fun.
The majority of its value comes from the bulb fish.
After all, it was the first Level Nine sea monster to be hunted down, making it extremely valuable commercially.
Captain Hook waved his hand and declared that he would build a naval fleet, which would at least include an aircraft carrier.
This was to highlight his identity as a real Captain and the commander of the Circus navy.
The suggestion was rejected without warning by Qin Ze.
"New for three days, old for three days, and patched up for another three days."
"Isn't it a waste to give you a new ship?"
"Fix the hole that the armed ship hit on its way back. If this ship sinks in the future, you'll have to figure out what to do yourself."
The above are Qin Ze's original words.
The shivering, cold-blooded Captain Hook could only weakly retort with, "Pretty, isn't she?"
The professional team returned to Sea Capital at noon.
The group immediately set off to hand over the mission.
After delivering Professor Xu's materials, everyone received ten merit points.
Although it can't compare to a level 5 mission, every little bit helps, especially since it's such a cost-effective errand-running mission.
The professional team was thinking of completing two more tasks and accumulating merit points before the Hundred Schools Competition started.
Unfortunately, plans can never keep up with changes.
The unexpected turn of events caught the professional team completely off guard.
Martial law has been declared in Sea Capital.
