Sunnyshies: I just noticed (シ. .)シ, although it’s late, Thank you for the KoFi Ashratherose!!
“It has been detected that there are relevant tasks that can be accepted. The host can choose…” “Not taking it.”
…
Lu Liran heard the voice on the other end of the TV and looked up suddenly.
A huge wave of hundreds of meters appeared on the screen, and two ancient giant octopuses appeared on the sea. They cuddled very close to each other, and their tentacles were tightly entwined.
The dark blue octopus tentacles were waving and hitting the sea surface, and fluorescent halos were attached to the tentacles, looming in the splashing waves.
A giant whale is on the other side of the two giant octopuses. It dived into the sea from time to time, its giant tail as wide as a banana leaf, hit the waves, and its blowholes spewed out smoke that was ten meters high.
These three huge and rare giant creatures actually appeared in front of everyone at the same time.
They swim around the Blue Hole, and the huge waves look like child’s play against their figures.
“The gathering of giant ancient creatures means that the ecological environment in which they have lived for a long time has changed. This change may be short-term or long-term. If it is long-term, then humans must be prepared to coexist and share the same land with them. Preparation for the sea area…”
The voice of the expert professor on the TV was cold and restrained. When his voice fell into Lu Liran’s ears, he immediately understood something.
Ke Ji and the others went deep into the Blue Hole and wanted to uproot the main nest of the devil vine. There was bound to be a lot of noise, and that’s what startled these behemoths living in the true depths of the seabed to run out.
Sure enough, the host then asked: “Before this phenomenon occurred, strict prevention and control had been implemented in the waters near the Blue Hole, and ships and airships were strictly prohibited from approaching. Is this related to this?”
Lu Liran frowned and stared at the host who asked the question with an unkind expression.
“This is something you should ask the relevant departments, rather than a punny Paleontology expert.” The young professor, sitting next by, sneered and pushed the microphone, “That’s all for providing my professional advice. Goodbye.”
After the man finished speaking, he stood up and left the recording room.
The host looked grim and had no choice but to forcefully smooth things over.
Lu Liran breathed out. He stopped watching TV and decisively contacted Qi Feng.
“Mr. Lu? What’s wrong?” Qi Feng was a little surprised to receive Lu Liran’s communication request.
“Have the commander contacted you in the past few days?” Lu Liran asked, “It has been two days since the expected return date. Did he encounter any trouble?”
Qi Feng and Qi Bai’s faces changed slightly when they heard this. After looking at each other, Qi Feng pursed her lips and said: “Mr. Lu, we have been trying to get in touch with the commander, but we have only been able to contact the submarine fleet once.”
“The signal at that time was weak, and we could only vaguely intercept…” Qi Feng coughed dryly, “I got a few pieces of information——”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Qi Bai touched the tip of his nose, saying that they managed to get contact, but in fact, he hacked into the submarine fleet’s system and intercepted it.
Hl Mfcu mbcalcefv: “C reywjglcf lc atf reywjglcf oiffa kjr jaajmxfv ys jc ecxcbkc mgfjaegf jcv kjr rfglberis vjwjufv jcv fzqibvfv.”
“Ycf bo atf jaajmx reywjglcfr atja Llr Szmfiifcms atf Jbwwjcvfg kjr bc tjr ibra mbcajma klat atf wjlc oiffa, yea atf nlaji rlucr bo jii qfgrbccfi jybjgv atf reywjglcf gfwjlc cbgwji.”
“They found traces of the devil vine.”
Lu Liran suddenly clenched his fists and asked: “When was this news intercepted?”
“One day ago.” Qi Feng said.
Lu Liran nodded slightly when he heard this. After being silent for a few seconds, he asked Qi Feng: “Do you have any submarines or the like in your armament?”
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: “Military equipment such as submarines are strictly controlled by The Desolate Star. We don’t have our own private equipment. Are you planning to enter the Blue Hole?”
Lu Liran responded. Since Qi Feng didn’t have a submarine, he could only ask the system.
He responded to Qi Feng perfunctorily, and at the same time asked the system in his mind.
“What a coincidence, the transportation category is exactly the one added after this upgrade!” The system immediately brought up the pages of various submarines for Lu Liran and asked: “What does the host want to redeem? Physical exchange, popularity exchange?”
Lu Liran paused and asked the system: “How much popularity value does it take to redeem it?”
“The lowest price for a submarine that can be traded requires 180 million popularity.” The system said.
Lu Liran: “…do you think I can afford it?”
The system whispered guiltily: “If you can’t afford it, you can pay in installments or get a loan from the system.”
Lu Liran narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The system changed the topic: “Of course, you can also look at the frequency of use of the host. If it is only used for a short period of time, the system can launch a rental service for the host! It only requires five million points a day!”
Lu Liran twitched his lips. It was indeed a system that needed to be threatened. A day without a beating would make it turn over the roof tiles.
He checked his current redeemable cumulative popularity and found that it totaled 15.14 million, which could be rented for at least three days. In addition, if it were to be broadcast, the number of people he would attract every time he started broadcasting would be at least two million.
Lu Liran estimated that if he only rented one submarine, he could last at least four days.
“Mr. Lu really plans to go to the Blue Hole?!” Qi Feng opened her mouth in surprise, “The Blue Hole is too dangerous. Even the military of the Desolate Star has withdrawn the military defense control of the sea near the Blue Hole. It is because of the unusual conditions in the sea area in the past two days that it would be too risky for you to go.”
“That’s right, and His Excellency the Commander hasn’t sent a distress signal so far, so he shouldn’t be in any trouble.” Qi Bai said as well.
Qi Feng advised: “Besides, there is no ship that is willing to take the risk to take you to the waters near the Blue Hole now, and you don’t have a submarine, so there is no way you can go deep into the depths of the seabed that His Excellency Commander and the others have dived into.”
Lu Liran paused after hearing this. The submarine at the bottom of the sea was solved, but the ship on the surface was a new problem.
“The system is willing to provide services to the host!” The system jumped out in time, “Produced by the system, free shipping. The rental price is two million per day.”
Lu Liran paused. As a result, his popularity level was a little tight, but it was not unbearable.
He looked at Qi Feng and said: “Can you obtain the real-time depth and latitude and longitude coordinates of the submarine fleet?”
Qi Bai nodded: “I can.”
Qi Feng pursed her lips. It was obvious that Lu Liran had not given up the idea of going to the Blue Hole.
“I have solved the problem of the ship and the submarine.” Lu Liran said, as he raised his head slightly. As for the distress signal mentioned by the Qi siblings, he did not think it was an insurance measure.
If Ke Ji encounters a problem that cannot be solved, then even sending a distress signal to the Qi siblings will not be of much use.
To put it in other words, the most likely reason why Ke Ji did not come back two days overdue without sending out any signals was because Ke Ji believed that the Qi siblings could not help him.
Qi Feng saw that she could not persuade Lu Liran, so she had to say: “Then I will go with Mr. Lu.”
“A submarine must be operated by at least two people. I have a submarine driving qualification certificate.” Qi Feng said.
Lu Liran frowned slightly: “Have you thought it through?”
“Yes, Mr. Lu, I may not be able to help the commander with anything on my own, but if it is you, being your assistant should be able to get twice the result with half the effort.” Qi Feng said.
Lu Liran said nothing more after hearing this, he nodded slightly and said: “Then get ready, we will set off early tomorrow morning.”
“Copy that, Vice Captain Lu.” Qi Feng said.
Lu Liran hung up the call, he turned his head and saw Jin Fei and his little boy craning their necks from behind the sofa to look over.
He paused and said: “I want to go to the Blue Hole.”
Jin Fei guessed it, but still couldn’t help but worry: “Then it’s time to bring more equipment this time, right?”
Lu Liran smiled and nodded: “Yes.”
“Papa, are you going to save the beautiful uncle?” The child, Lu Ziqian, put his chin on the sofa cushion, blinked his steel blue eyes exactly like Ke Ji, and asked his Papa in a sweet voice.
Lu Liran responded, he picked up his little cub, then pressed the tip of their nose and forehead together, and whispered: “I don’t know what happened to the beautiful uncle under the sea. Papa will bring him back. The cub will watch from the live broadcast, okay?”
“Zai-Zai will miss Papa.” The child squeezed his face into his Papa’s neck, “Zai-Zai will blow the conch, and Papa will come back, okay?”
“Good, but the cub can only blow when he wants Papa the most. You can only blow once, if you blow more, it won’t work.” Lu Liran smiled and coaxed in a low voice, “Papa will appear in front of the cub immediately when he hears it.”
“I also want the beautiful uncle.” The cub said immediately.
Lu Liran paused, thinking that the system would not allow him to bring one more person.
“Isn’t having Papa enough?” Lu Liran pinched the little guy’s white and tender cheeks, “Quite greedy.”
The child, Lu Ziqian, then thought about it and realized that being greedy didn’t work anymore, and immediately grabbed Lu Liran’s finger nervously and whispered: “Then don’t take the beautiful uncle ba.”
Lu Liran pursed his lips and smiled.
“Yeah, but don’t tell the beautiful uncle, otherwise he will be sad.” Lu Liran also whispered.
“Good.” The little boy said seriously.
After Lu Liran coaxed the little guy, he turned to Jin Fei and said: “I will set off early tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, it will take about four or five days.”
“Okay, young master.” Jin Fei responded, “Young master, don’t worry and leave it to me.”
“Uh-huh, Uncle Jin and I will be good.” The child responded quickly and patted Jin Fei on the shoulder. His little adult look made Lu Liran laugh.
Lu Liran took a look at the ships and submarines that could be rented, and finally settled on it——
The ship he chose is a missile-type one-ton special metal ship that is said to be able to withstand ten-level waves and winds. The daily rental fee is 2.5 million popularity, or can be also exchanged by material object.
The submarine selected is the latest model, which has excellent hiding performance and is indestructible. It can withstand the pressure of 100,000 tons, even encountering a giant octopus is not something to be afraid of. The daily rental fee is 7 million popularity, or can be also exchanged by material object.
“The host’s ship will dock at the port at six o’clock tomorrow morning and will be used until six o’clock the next day. If it needs to be extended, the host must redeem it in advance to avoid everyone falling into the sea.” The system said, “The submarine will be redeemed when the host needs it. All you need to do is notify everyone half an hour in advance.”
Lu Liran twitched his lips. According to his estimate, if he set off early tomorrow morning, he should be able to reach the nearby sea area at four or five o’clock that afternoon. A twenty-four-hour rental time is enough.
He sent the time and place to Qi Feng, and then started preparing what he would bring with him for this trip.
He must bring a diving watch produced by the system. In addition, he also purchased some oxygen bottles and underwater diving suits.
“It has been detected that there are relevant tasks that can be accepted, and the host can choose…” The system beeped in Lu Liran’s mind.
“Not taking it.” Lu Liran refused.
