VCRMM: Chapter 366

“Brother Mu, what should we do now? Should we chase it?”

Yufeng Zhuimeng looked at the magic submarine that quickly disappeared from view and asked hesitantly.

Lin Mu didn’t answer, but subconsciously swam in the direction where the submarine disappeared. As a result, a tentacle reached out and wrapped around him.

The giant octopus said as he gnawed on the sea beast, “You have to take me to the territory of the sea elves. We have agreed on that.”

The voice was still that of a naive boy, but to Lin Mu, it no longer sounded cute at all.

Nevertheless, even if there was no magic ship, wasn’t there still an octopus monster?

Since it wasn’t His Majesty Snow’s contracted pet, it meant they still had a chance!

He recovered immediately.

“That’s right,” Lin Mu said with a smile. “Then Senior Nage, are you ready to set off?”

The magic submarine shuttled across the seabed and soon left the farthest sea area that players had explored so far. The number of sea beasts encountered was increasing and became even more dense.

In addition, the luminous stones inlaid on the hull made it as conspicuous as a large light bulb in the dark seabed, attracting countless light-seeking sea beasts. Gradually, the ship was put in a dangerous situation.

Mike hadn’t expected this.

In his core memory, underwater stealth was very safe and he rarely encountered aggressive underwater creatures.

When encountering magic submarines made by humans, marine creatures would stay away. This was different from these unknown beasts, who all attacked the submarine as if they smelled something bloody.

Only the exterior of this magic ship was made of self-repairing alchemical materials. Except for the control room, the interior was still a mess, not to mention the weapons and equipment.

Mike reappeared and wanted to report the situation to his new master.

But just as he finished speaking, he felt a terrible pressure. Then the group of sea beasts outside, who were about to attack the submarine, turned their heads and scrambled to get away.

“……”

Mike saw the look given by Marshal Si Sheng and silently disappeared.

Xu Sili smiled and walked out of the control room.

The interior of the cabin had changed. The things that couldn’t be repaired were sorted out by Mike and moved to the storage room. At this moment, the cabin looked empty.

Then Mike reappeared and led them to the storage room for valuables.

After the previous owner of the magic ship abandoned the ship, he took away most of the good things, leaving behind only some goods, silver, jewelry, and…

Two full boxes of books.

These books were stored in alchemy boxes. They not only had a certain anti-corrosion function, but also isolated them from seawater.

They were still very intact when they reappeared in the sunlight. It was just like they were a hundred years ago without much damage.

Xu Sili couldn’t help being surprised. Knowledge was the most valuable, and books were undoubtedly one of the best carriers of knowledge.

He even found a lot of theoretical books on the sound element and related notes in these two boxes of books. These were all useful when reaching advanced levels and were more complete than the library of the Elementalist Academy.

“The previous master was a sound elementalist and a famous musician.”

Mike explained, “These notes were all written by him. The people who listened to his songs came from all over the world.”

His expression was filled with obvious pride when he said this.

Xu Sili nodded.

He knew that sound elementalists were very valuable, even in the most prosperous era a hundred years ago.

He heard from Elder Huo that it was very difficult to invite a sound elementalist to play a piece of music at that time. The tickets for almost every performance were fought over.

Looking at the two boxes of books in front of him, Xu Sili simply couldn’t put them down.

He simply picked up a book and started reading.

On the other hand, Si Sheng was very considerate. He took out tables and chairs, and also laid out tea and snacks.

The two of them sat in the cabin, reading books and eating snacks. They enjoyed the quiet and peaceful time together.

Mike had already returned to the control room, controlling the submarine to circle around the seabed and collect sea data. By the time he controlled the submarine to rush out of the sea, it was already early morning of the next day.

The submarine transformed into a ship again and floated quietly on the sea.

On the horizon, the sun slowly rose and filled the sky with rosy clouds.

Xu Sili and Si Sheng moved to the deck.

The sea wasn’t calm. Huge sea interstellar beasts leaped out of the sea and preyed on the strange beasts flying in the sky, and even larger flying interstellar beasts also fed on the strange beasts.

However, these strange beasts that preyed on each other consciously stayed away from their magic ship, leaving a large empty space around it.

Xu Sili stood at the bow and stared into the distance, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

The sunrise glow fell on him. The sea breeze blew up his long silver hair, and the look in Xu Sili’s eyes made him more excited than any other scenery.

He reached out and hugged the young man from behind, kissing him tenderly on the top of his head.

Xu Sili leaned back in his arms, absorbing the warmth coming from him and squinting comfortably.

The sea breeze in the early morning was chilly. Winter was approaching, making it feel even colder. However, with Si Sheng as a heater, he didn’t need to worry about getting cold.

The sea view in front of him wasn’t beautiful. it could even be called brutal, but this was the first time Xu Sili had seen the sun rise over the sea since coming to this world. He was still very happy.

He also believed that the Roland Empire would completely retake this sea in the future, restoring the maritime splendor of a hundred years ago.

After sailing on the sea for a while, the magic ship transformed into a submarine again and swam towards the land of the sea elves.

Today, the area of the sea elves’ territory had expanded dozens of times compared to the beginning. It was infinitely close to the time a hundred years ago when the natural disaster hadn’t occurred yet.

Originally, there was only a lonely sea tree. Now there were not only houses, amusement parks and other buildings, but also many plants that had been transplanted.

The floating lanterns in the sky provided sufficient light for the entire underwater city day and night. Everything looked vibrant and full of vitality.

By the time they returned here, Lin Mu and Yufeng Zhuimeng had already arrived there with the giant octopus.

Due to being notified in advance, Nage’s arrival didn’t cause any attacks. However, he was unable to enter the protective barrier and could only wander around.

In order to increase favorability, Lin Mu also invited Grumpy Little Rabbit over.

There was a possibility that the giant octopus would be contracted by the little rabbit, but the little rabbit had now joined their mercenary group. It was good to keep the money in the family as long as it wasn’t snatched away by other mercenary groups.

Nage was so happy that he was very generous to Lin Mu and the other man for introducing sea elf friends to him. He even took out two pearls from large shells and gave them to the duo.

After returning to the territory of the sea elves, Lin Mu discovered that this pearl was a good thing. Not only was it a rare material that could improve the attributes of equipment, but it also allowed them to breathe under the sea!

As long as they held the pearl in their mouths, they could breathe in the sea even without the underwater breathing potion and the blessing of the sea tree.

This way, they could explore more distant seas.

From Nage, they learned that the original Roland Empire had several fleets. These fleets were also on the sea when the natural disaster occurred.

This meant there must be other shipwrecks that could be found on the seabed!

Lin Mu had already distributed the pearls and mobilized the members of the mercenary group to go out and search for them. As long as they could find one, they would be able to obtain it.

If they could find some special items, they could even go to His Majesty Snow and maybe get some rewards in return.

So when Xu Sili saw Nage again, the octopus had already become friends with the sea elves under the care of Little Rabbit.

Look at how happy he was. He was so happy that bubbles were popping out of his head.

However, Nage didn’t sign a contract with Little Rabbit in the end. He voluntarily became the guardian beast of the sea elves, lived near the tribe of the sea elves, and patrolled for the sea elves every day.

It was enough as long as the beautiful sea elves could talk to him and play with him every day.

For this purpose, Lin Mu specially built a movable nest for him, so that he could crawl into it when he wanted to sleep and could be carried around when he wanted.

He didn’t sign a contract, but he gained Nage’s friendship and could ask Nage for help if he needed anything in the future.

Xu Sili got such great benefits, and he couldn’t pretend he didn’t know anything. In the end, he still gave Lin Mu and Yufeng Zhuimeng some benefits.

In addition to a large amount of reputation and some equipment rewards, there was also the priority right to rent the Yangfan.

The sea was still too dangerous now. He couldn’t send the NPC army out, and the Yangfan belonged to the sea. Mike probably wouldn’t be happy staying in port.

Renting the Yangfan to players was a win-win situation for all parties.

However, before it was officially leased, the Yangfan was handed over to Teacher Aina.

Teacher Aina was overjoyed. At present, what was most lacking in making magic ships was a material for the hull that was strong, self-repairable and could be enchanted.

She simply dismantled some parts from the Yangfan and quickly copied a second magic ship.

Except for the lack of a control core, the ship was exactly the same as the Yangfan.

However, she used artificial intelligence to replace the control core. It wasn’t as good as Mike in many aspects, but it could be barely used.

In terms of navigation function, it was more than ten times better than Mike because it was connected to the satellite.

After successfully copying one ship, the rest was easy.

It only took two months for Teacher Aina and her alchemy team to successfully build ten ships.

With the addition of the Yangfan, the Roland Empire once again had a fleet of eleven magic ships!

The Age of Exploration in Starry Sky Age had finally begun!

The game team took the opportunity to launch related activities, which directly ignited the players’ enthusiasm for participating in sailing. There were even mercenary groups that launched guild wars in the form of naval battles.

After all, there was no need to worry about causing any damage on the sea. Even if the ship was destroyed, it could be repaired automatically.

This form of warfare was also very interesting and had attracted countless combat players since its launch. But due to the limitation on the number of ships, large-scale naval battles couldn’t be launched for the time being.

“The boss asked us to go back and participate in a naval battle.”

In the distant starry sky, two ‘corpses’ lay on a quietly floating meteorite.

One of them suddenly said these words to his companion.

The two corpses were naturally the duo who died in space during the battle of Roland and didn’t resurrect. Instead, they chose to drift in space to see if there were any boundaries in the map of Starry Sky Age.

They had been floating in space for several months. They proved through their own experience that the map of Starry Sky Age was really huge and had no boundaries!
