54: Section 54

Su Ming gave a playful smile.

Go!

If the dog won't go, I will!

The destination is the seafaring restaurant, Baratie!

Ge Men is not only going, but going openly and with a swagger!

Without another word.

Su Ming vanished directly.

After a brief return to the Super God Main World for less than ten minutes, Su Ming abruptly reappeared on the deck.

He was wearing an exquisite and elegant black suit!

With fine stitching and a slim fit, it made Su Ming look as graceful as a noble young master.

On his chest was a brooch shining with magical radiance, featuring an openwork design of a pair of pure white wings—one outspread and one folded—resembling a sailing ship yet exuding an air of elegant nobility.

And a majestic, steady Lieutenant's greatcoat!

The faintly flowing magic circuits adorned it like a sea-of-clouds cloak woven from captured white clouds by a god!

On the back, the two ink-colored characters for 'Justice' were written in a sweeping, dragon-like calligraphy; every stroke contained the charm of the universe, and every line displayed the elegance of a renowned scholar!

Clearing his throat, Su Ming immediately ordered:

"Midnight, replan our route. We're making a detour to Baratie!"

"Yes, Master!"

Jie jie jie!—

Smoker the White Hunter, is it?

The Navy, is it?

You even dare to set an ambush midway, wanting to annihilate me, a so-called rebel!

With a flick of his greatcoat, Su Ming immediately stepped out of the captain's quarters.

There was a hint of cheerfulness in his stride.

This outfit of Ge Men's was made from Azeroth's transcendent spider silk, handcrafted by the Angel Moyi, and then infused with transcendence using the Creation Skill and other transcendent materials!

Wearing this out, even a Navy Admiral would feel a head shorter in front of Su Ming. Hehe, when the time comes, who the true Navy orthodox is... it'll be hard to say!

Of course.

Su Ming wasn't doing this entirely out of a prankster's mindset.

He had no choice.

Su Ming was also forced by necessity.

How else was he supposed to gain Legend Rank?

If you don't show off and build momentum, where is the Legend Rank going to come from?

In the Azeroth instance world, Su Ming suffered a great loss. If the Bronze Dragon hadn't given him a hand at the end, Su Ming's reputation rating wouldn't have even reached D-rank!

But...

A mere dimensional strike of style points wasn't enough!

If you're going to stir up trouble, stir it up big!

He had to aim for shattering other people's worldviews!

Therefore.

"Ge Men isn't sleeping tonight! Dammit, even if I'm exhausted to death, I'm going to craft that ghost ship!"

Bait the hook, cast the line!

Fighting through until dawn tonight!

However...

How did the Navy know the route of the midnight rose?

Was it the News Coo again?

...

Inside the Northern Shelter of Feireze in the Super God Main World.

Watching the heroic figure of the youth gradually disappear into the white light.

Zhixin said with a heart full of complex emotions:

"The child has grown up..."

Moyi: "..."

Rubbing her brow in annoyance—keep it simple, keep the way of talking simple...

Sighing, Moyi consoled her:

"He's still young and knows he needs to establish a good outward image; that's a sign of growth. Besides... Su Ming just wants to earn reputation, not build a harem!"

Zhixin's pretty face flushed, and her gaze drifted slightly, clearly having her little thoughts exposed by Moyi.

Yet she still stubbornly insisted:

"That's what I meant, Sister Moyi. Where is your mind wandering?"

Ah, right, right, right!

Rolling her eyes, Moyi was almost driven to laughter by the frustration:

"Just keep being stubborn then. I really can't figure out what's going on in that little head of yours all day long!"

"What happened to that vow to find the bravest male god in the entire universe?"

"How is that little fellow Su Ming brave? Don't argue with me. I don't know who it is that's been messing with the Gene-matching system every other minute these past few days."

Having her little secret exposed to her face, Zhixin's ears turned red.

The key was...

She really was messing with the Gene-matching system!

But when it came to Su Ming, Zhixin still stubbornly defended him:

"Sister Moyi, don't talk nonsense. Su Ming is very brave... Every New World is a massive collection of unknowns, yet Su Ming can overcome all difficulties and open a New World every month to face those unknown risks... Is he not brave?"

Moyi was stumped.

Put that way... Moyi really couldn't refute it.

Never mind that Su Ming knew the general plot; between knowing and obtaining, there was still the matter of 'doing'!

It was just like how everyone knew that in the era of God-making, knowledge was power!

The knowledge was right there, but from ancient times to the present, there has only been one Heavenly Base King. The position of the Right-Wing Angel was also right there, but in the end, wasn't it only little Zhixin who gained Queen Keisha's recognition?

From this perspective, Su Ming really was the bravest person in the entire Known Universe... but the problem was... he seemed to be the only one who could travel through worlds!

Zhixin...

You certainly know how to dodge the main point!

"By the way, Sister Moyi, can Su Ming hold out against the Navy's encirclement?"

"Don't worry, it's in the bag!"

"You're that certain?"

"Nonsense! Didn't you see how many Mushroom bombs he has hidden in his backpack!"

...

The next morning.

In high spirits, Su Ming put away the mysterious fishing rod, thoroughly satisfied with last night's harvest.

Sea fishing had lasted for most of the night.

He had gained another seventy or eighty Souls of the Drowned. One could only say that the risks of going to sea were far more than just other pirates and Sea Kings, and even more than the Navy.

The true risk was precisely the fickle ocean!

No one could say for sure how many dreams and souls this ocean had buried.

In addition.

He had also gathered quite a bit of Breath of the Dead during the process.

Killing large sea beasts.

Hunting Sea Kings.

Hunting pirates.

All of these could yield Breath of the Dead.

What he couldn't get from sea fishing was thoughtfully provided by a pirate ship he encountered last night, filling Su Ming's gap.

Materials ready.

Timing perfect.

It was the best moment for the ghost ship to be born!

Chapter 61: The Birth of the Bone ghost ship

The first step in the birth of the ghost ship, twilight hunter!

Sinking the ship!

Don't misunderstand, 'sinking the ship' here is a verb!

First, he turned off the Midnight AI, and then he scuttled the bottom of the midnight rose.

Seawater flooded in.

Su Ming, however, used a Blink and teleported to a reef several kilometers away.

Yes.

Su Ming chose to sink the midnight rose into the sea.

Artificially creating a shipwreck, a ghost vessel about to return from the dead!

Firstly, Su Ming was used to Midnight's automatic navigation function.

Secondly, the better the performance of the sunken ship, the more the resulting ghost ship would naturally inherit its original performance and be even more powerful on top of it!

Only...

What would an undead-ified artificial intelligence eventually look like?

He was so looking forward to it!

Rubbing hands like a fly.JPG!

As the waterline continued to rise, the midnight rose gradually tilted and then irreversibly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Another hour passed.

When the whirlpool on the sea surface gradually calmed down.

Su Ming, standing on the reef, finally unfolded the blueprint with great anticipation.

At first, nothing happened.

But soon.

A large number of bubbles gradually began to tumble and surge to the surface.

A gloomy and deathly atmosphere spread, and a massive shadow, as if lifted by an invisible mighty force, continued to float upward.

On the sea surface.

A large amount of seawater was pushed up, bulging into a gradually fermenting arc.
