[Welcome back Brother Lu!]
…
The water-red creature enclosed in the glass bottle appears to be only one centimeter in size——excluding the long limbs—— it looks like a spider at first glance, but is more narrow and elongated than a spider.
The legs are more numerous and longer, with ten pairs of thin and long limbs distributed on each side, which are three times as long as the body. The color of the whole body is a bright light red.
This thing has a flat body, as thin as a cicada’s wings, and its whole body is covered with shallow fur. No wonder it can sneak into the combat uniform without being discovered.
After the creature was enclosed in the glass bottle, it did not die due to being separated from the water environment and pressure changes, and even crawled slowly along the glass bottle.
It was seen that its abdomen and legs left a shallow layer of mucus on the glass bottle it crawled over. Not long after the mucus covered the glass cover, it seemed to have been heated by high temperature, and it cracked with a sudden crisp sound.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji’s expressions changed slightly when they saw this.
The cause of the band-like blisters on his arm was found.
“What is this? It’s not dead, it’s still alive and well…” Qi Feng said, and quickly covered it with other things, for fear that this thing would climb onto the operation panel and directly corrode and heat the operation panel.
Lu Liran couldn’t tell what it was. He frowned and stared at the obviously troublesome existence, thinking of throwing it out of the cabin.
At this time——
“Congratulations to the host for completing the challenge mission: The life force under the deep sea!”
“Mission Difficulty: ★★★”
“Mission restriction: System assistance cannot be used”
“Mission Completion Reward 1: Open the portal function (can be upgraded): cross-planet transmission, not interfered by external factors, unconditional transmission, limited to one use per week, can carry 2 people, each use requires a deduction of 15 million popularity per person.”
“Mission completion reward 2: Portal x1 (durability 0/5, can be purchased, can be recast) —— can be placed and opened anywhere, and the scene behind the door can be set by the host. Note: The portal can also be used to transfer within a single planet without distance restrictions. The use is limited to once a day, and three million popularity per person must be deducted for each use.”
“Mission completion reward 3: Open the research contribution subsystem! The host can redeem valuable props, character points, etc. through research contributions!”
“Host, host! Everyone is back! Congratulations to the host for discovering a new creature in the deep sea. The amphibious aconite sea worm proves that organisms have the ability to survive under strong pressure and strong differences, and the research contribution is +1!”
The energetic and exciting voice of the system sounded in Lu Liran’s mind.
Lu Liran’s face darkened and he didn’t want to pay attention to it.
They also set up challenge tasks to trick him.
Although the task rewards are indeed rich.
“Host, host, anti-venom serum is ineffective. The mucus of amphibious aconite sea worm is weakly corrosive and high-temperature effect, the system has already strengthened the host’s physique, cleaned and repaired it!” When the system saw this, it immediately added eagerly to show it kindness.
Amphibious aconite sea worm? Is this what it is?
Lu Liran looked at his forearm. Sure enough, as the system said, some of the terrible blisters on his forearm had dried up and they just needed to wait for the wounds to scab and fade away.
No wonder he didn’t even feel any pain before. Perhaps it wasn’t just because his body’s endurance reached its limit, causing his perception to be dull, but because the system was at work.
Ke Ji didn’t expect that the somewhat ferocious band-shaped blisters would heal so quickly. Seeing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Liran.
Lu Liran cleared his throat: “Okay, it’s okay.”
After he finished speaking, he put down his rolled-up sleeves to cover the skin on his forearm so as not to be noticed by Qi Feng.
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.

He raised his eyes to look at Lu Liran and asked him the only thing he cared about: “Are you sure everything is okay?”
“Yeah.” Lu Liran nodded.
He looked at the aconite sea worm that was covered in the box. In just a few minutes, the box was corroded and a crack was opened, and the creature could be seen slowly climbing up the box, showing no signs of panic at breaking into a strange environment.
The system immediately provided a biological collection ball. Lu Liran looked at the description of the thing——
[Creature Collection Ball Small] Any creature can be placed, and the strong resistant metal shell can prevent any creature from escaping.
The aconite sea worm was put into the collection ball. The transparent glass cover allowed you to clearly see every move of the little worm. It looked a bit like a specimen display when placed on the side.
“Won’t this little ball crack again?” Qi Feng frowned worriedly, “Why do I feel like this creature has gotten a little bigger?”
“No.” Lu Liran replied.
When Qi Feng heard what Lu Liran said, she no longer had any doubts. She remembered that Deputy Captain Lu was a bounty hunter before. It was estimated that the previous bounty lists included the requirement to collect living bodies. In this case, the collector that Deputy Captain Lu took out must be fine.
Lu Liran subconsciously glanced at the aconite sea worm in the device. It seemed to be a lot bigger than before.
“Don’t worry, host. As long as it is locked in the collector, it will not grow indefinitely!” The system explained in a low voice in Lu Liran’s mind, “This is a biological change that occurs in order to adapt to the differences in the deep-sea environment. The interior of the collector will simulate its living environment, so organisms will no longer undergo such changes.”
Lu Liran responded in his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a small unexpected episode, Qi Feng and Lu Liran operated the submarine to surface. The floating speed must be strictly controlled within a low speed to avoid aggravating decompression syndrome symptoms.
“It is expected that the submarine will surface in three hours.” Qi Feng checked the instrument readings.
She frowned slightly, unbuckled her seatbelt and said to Lu Liran: “The energy consumption reading dropped a little abnormally. I’ll go check it out.”
Lu Liran nodded after hearing this and took over Qi Feng’s driving.
He noticed the blue energy consumption warning on the driving panel and asked the system in his mind: “How much popularity can be redeemed now?”
“The host’s last live broadcast had a peak popularity of 10.2 million, which has been redeemed! It can currently be redeemed for a popularity of 19.2 million.” The system replied.
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up, he actually broke 10 million! Perhaps this live broadcast directly attracted the attention of the entire Desolate Star. If it weren’t for the damage to the drone caused by the eruption of an undersea volcano, the number of live broadcasts might have been even higher.
“Nearly 20 million popularity…can I rent another submarine?” Lu Liran asked immediately.
Since this submarine has malfunctioned, replace it with another one.
It’s only 7.5 million a day, he can afford it.
“No, submarines are super military machines. In order to avoid destroying the balance, they can only help the host exchange for one ship per day.” The system said.
When Lu Liran heard this, it made sense after thinking about it, so he settled for the next best thing: “Then it’s possible to repair this submarine ship, right? Didn’t you say that the system produces a quality guarantee?”
“However, it does not include violent use of props, natural disasters, etc. are also not covered by insurance…” The system whispered.
Lu Liran’s face turned dark.
It’s like trying to find an insurance company and being rejected in every possible way.
“Is it good for you if the host dies?” Lu Liran asked coldly.
The system shuddered at the threat, and immediately said: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, the system products have quality assurance and will definitely be able to safely send the host to the safe zone!”
Lu Liran snorted coldly.
“Um…the damaged drone camera ball has been automatically reissued to the host. Do you want the host to continue the live broadcast?” The system whispered in a cowardly voice.
Lu Liran frowned, he thought for a while and agreed.
They are now under the sea at a depth of 9,000 meters. It’s impossible for ordinary civilian signals to contact Jin Fei. They can only release safety signals through the live camera ball produced by the system.
The drone was released.
Nearly three hours have passed since the live broadcast room went black.
Even so, the live broadcast room, which originally had tens of millions of people online, now still has more than one million viewers squatting, waiting for a result.
The dark live broadcast room suddenly flashed, and a familiar voice sounded:
“Hello everyone, I am Lu Liran, a wilderness survival expert.”
Ke Ji looked at Lu Liran and saw a small drone camera ball hovering in front of Lu Liran’s eyes. He smiled slightly, then quickly guessed Lu Liran’s intention, and moved in front of the camera.
Lu Liran turned his head and looked at Ke Ji, who was very close at hand. The string of words he originally wanted to say was finally reduced to just five words——
He looked at the camera: “We are still alive.”
[I’m not dreaming, aaaaahhhhhhh, the anchor is still alive!!—— ChineseBurger gifted the anchor 1x Sukiyaki pot]
[Wuwuwuwuwu, good as long as you’re alive!! Mom asked me why I cried like a wild dog in front of the screen]
[Great, great, I knew Brother Lu and the others would be able to save the day! It happens every time!]
[A man with a halo!—— YuziShao gifted the anchor 1x White truffle]
[I go, you can even survive an undersea volcanic eruption! This is amazing!]
[I remember that I took a picture of the Commander’s super mecha before the drone broke down?! Is it because of this?]
[!! I almost forgot!]
[The anchor is the commander himself?! Damn it]
[No wonder Brother Lu reacts so strongly to comments that slander His Excellency, Commander…]
[No, if Brother Lu is the commander, how could the energy fluctuation monitoring not detect it? They even almost awarded Brother Lu an honorary citizen! There’s no way this kind of mishap could have happened!?]
[That’s right…no matter what! Welcome back Brother Lu!!—— Salmon gifted the anchor 1x Buddha Jumping over the wall]
[Welcome back Brother Lu!]
Lu Liran looked at Ke Ji. He was not sure whether Ke Ji planned to disclose his identity, but even if he wanted to disclose his identity, it shouldn’t be here.
So he said nothing and pretended not to have seen it.
“We are very lucky.” Lu Liran said, turning the drone lens to the scene outside the cockpit.
Even hundreds of meters away, the magnificent rosette formed by the fiery red lava underneath is still clearly visible.
“This volcanic submarine eruption only formed mild lava waterfalls and rivers. Its eruption was as powerful as the energy released by a small magnitude three earthquake, so we escaped.”
[Holy crap…is this what it looks like after an undersea volcano erupts!?]
[Good, so beautiful…]
[I always thought that after an undersea volcano erupts, it will condense directly into rock! I didn’t expect that it would turn into a lava river and waterfall, which is so spectacular!!]
[It’s really beautiful…]
“Our companions found us.” Lu Liran continued, and the camera turned to the two deep-diving suits behind them, sweeping across Ke Ji’s broken mask, and added, “When the combat suit is about to reach its limit, they successfully found us.”
The audience in the live broadcast room instantly came back to their senses from the extremely rare sight of the underwater lava waterfall, and gasped, almost forgetting the danger hidden behind this beautiful and majestic scenery.
Although they did not see the scene at that time, just seeing the broken diving mask was enough for them to imagine the emergency at that time.
Even more so.
Human imagination is always very rich.
[Companion? Ah, is it our Desolate Star Fleet!]
[…although they shouldn’t be…looking at the previous situation, the main fleet itself can’t even protect itself. Hasn’t it been allowed to float a long time ago?]
[Yes… the submarine now looks like the one when Brother Lu came down before]
[So is it the Lady Captain? The young lady is awesome!]
[Hey, where’s the captain sister?]
“She was conducting a submarine inspection, and the energy consumption meter reading showed abnormal consumption. I hope it won’t be a big problem.” Lu Liran said.
He didn’t say anything more to prevent the audience in the live broadcast room from making more guesses and causing unnecessary panic.
——Mainly because he didn’t want Jin Fei and the little boy to worry too much.
He changed the subject and pointed to the biological collector placed on the table: “This is probably the little creature that got into my combat uniform just before the volcano erupted. It is an aborigine living in the deep sea at a depth of 10,300 meters.”
The drone lens cooperated to give a zoomed-in close-up——
They can clearly see this seaworm crawling easily in the small collector without any abnormality.
[Oh…there are so many legs, I can’t do it, ugh]
[I can only say that the color is pretty nice, but I can’t do it!!]
[Holy shit, shit, shit, shit. Is this a new discovery?!]
In the institute, a few young people who were still hanging in the live broadcast room saw this and hurriedly connected to their colleagues and the old director who had left:
“Aaahhhh, everyone come to the live broadcast room! Mr. Lu is still alive!”
“Director! Not only is Mr. Lu still alive! He also brought back living biological samples!”
“It’s a creature I’ve never seen before! A creature that’s not even mentioned in books!”
In the huge research institute, only a few rooms had lights on, but within a minute, the whole building was buzzing with excitement and lights were brightly lit.
The old director was stunned for a second after receiving the student’s connection, and then quickly boarded Lu Liran’s live broadcast room.
He saw the man in the live broadcast room looking at the camera, his hair was still wet, his voice was calm, and there was no trace of excitement on him at all. Obviously what he brought was a piece of explosive news——
“It looks like a water spider. Not only did it not die after we accidentally brought it into the submarine, but it is still alive and well.” Lu Liran said, “As we all know, the pressure difference inside and outside the submarine is huge, and it is absolutely impossible for humans to do so. Survive unprotected in both environments at the same time, but it did it.”
“Perhaps we are the first to discover the existence of this kind of creature. Its discovery will bring unknown wealthy contributions to the future direction of undersea equipment research.”
The old director’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and he wished he could directly put it on the light screen—— This is incredible, Mr. Xiao Lu!
Just such a discovery contribution alone is enough to give the discoverer a gold medal of immunity in the Desolate Star! Eating and drinking is not a problem!
What’s more, the other party is fully aware of the significance of the discovery of this creature! This is not only a breakthrough in biology, but also a breakthrough in military research!
Lu Liran makes the most of the spider: you bite me, I bite you, now you’re a research project and money maker. Hahahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
truly taking advantage of the situation ah brother Lu! 🤣 🤣 🤣
