264: Fortune and wealth are sought in danger

Chapter 264: Seeking Fortune in Danger

Lu Ran looked at Nanasheng curiously.

He asked, "How do you know so much about this place?"

Nanasheng pointed her finger at the sea faintly visible outside the city.

She said, "Opposite is Sakura. This is one of the coastal areas closest to Sakura. The place where you once sniped the Sakura infiltrators and obtained the Koi Spirit was also one of those areas."

Lu Ran then remembered that he had dealt with those Onmyoji who had infiltrated Dragon Xia on the coast back then.

But it wasn't here.

This was normal.

Before the world was digitized, due to Dragon Xia's terrain, there was more than one coastal area closest to Sakura.

And now.

With the world digitized, Global area expanded, and the terrain also underwent significant changes.

"When those Onmyoji infiltrated Dragon Xia, you knew about it too?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"Of course I knew. I was the one who sent them to infiltrate Dragon Xia to kill you," Nanasheng nodded and said.

Pfft~

Lu Ran had considered this possibility, but he didn't expect Nanasheng to be so honest!

"You're quite honest," Lu Ran said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Before you, I dare not lie, and my thoughts are connected to Yamata no Orochi. My thoughts cannot be hidden from you. Yamata no Orochi is watching me, strictly carrying out your orders," Nanasheng said truthfully.

This was good.

This meant that Nanasheng dared not lie to Lu Ran at all.

Even if she did lie, Yamata no Orochi would discover it immediately and inform Lu Ran.

So that meant, from the time Yamata no Orochi was subdued until now, Yamata no Orochi had not reminded Lu Ran, which meant Nanasheng had not lied to Lu Ran.

Putting everything else aside, Lu Ran was quite satisfied with Nanasheng's current self-awareness.

"Yamata no Orochi is just one thing. With you around, Sakura will disappear sooner or later. You Dragon Xia have an old saying, 'A good bird chooses its tree to perch.' I don't want to die, I want to live," Nanasheng continued.

Lu Ran glanced at Nanasheng.

He said, "It's still uncertain whether I'll kill you, but you're doing pretty well right now. Keep it up."

As they talked, the group exited the main city.

They headed straight through the wilderness towards the coast.

This was within the Tian Chui Territory, and it was the main city closest to the coast, and to the so-called Luan Region.

Before long, they arrived at the seaside.

Looking at the boundless sea before her, Qin Wuyao was extremely excited, her eyes constantly scanning, not even knowing where to look.

There were also some professional players leveling up in the wilderness by the sea.

But no one ventured deep into the sea.

After all, the sea was too dangerous, and the efficiency of killing monsters was low, so there was no need to go in.

Lu Ran and the others passed by these professional players, who only glanced at them a few times before ignoring them.

They continued to farm some amphibious monsters by the sea.

Although these monsters were amphibious, they were very slow, and the efficiency of killing them was high. They could be easily killed by kiting and using skills.

This was a common method of farming monsters in coastal areas.

No wonder there were so many people by the sea.

Although the sea was very dangerous, on the shore, it didn't matter; there was no danger at all.

After Song Chao arrived here, he also diligently began to correct his position according to his skills.

Not long after.

Song Chao pointed to a coastal hill extending forward and said, "This is the direction. Entering the sea from here leads to the Luan Region. The materials you're looking for are inside, but the specific way to obtain them is still unclear. However, it doesn't matter. I know the exact coordinates and have shared them with you. We'll go and see."

Lu Ran was quite satisfied with Song Chao's efficiency.

He nodded.

The group continued to walk forward.

They followed the extending hill and climbed over it.

Standing at a high point, they could clearly see.

This hill was like a stick, extending from the coast into the sea.

Of course, although it looked like a stick, it was actually a peninsula with a narrow terrain, and its area was not small.

There were some obvious human settlements among them.

But these were not main cities planned after the world was digitized, but rather spontaneously established by human professional players.

So there was no teleportation array.

Lu Ran and the others did not stop at these human settlements.

Instead, they rushed to the seaside without stopping.

"Actually, if it were convenient, I could just fly over and find the materials, but we're not in a hurry. Let's check the situation first. If there's no way to go out to sea together, then I'll take Song Chao and Si Luoluo," Lu Ran mused.

In that case, they could just fly over.

Both Si Luoluo and Lu Ran could take Song Chao flying.

This guy couldn't be left behind; he was Lu Ran's compass for finding materials.

However, in that case, there would be no way to take Qin Wuyao out to see the world.

And Lu Ran was not at ease leaving Qin Wuyao here.

"Then there should be no other way. Human professional players dare not step into the sea. Entering the sea is very dangerous and meaningless," Nanasheng mused.

Sakura was a small island nation, with many coastal areas.

Nanasheng grew up by the sea, so she knew a lot about the characteristics of the sea, or rather, the Forbidden Sea.

But this time.

Nanasheng miscalculated.

At the end of the peninsula, there was actually a dock?

And from the looks of it, this dock was newly built.

Some life professional architects were still wandering nearby.

At the same time, Lu Ran also saw a ship!

A large ship, not small in scale, and seemingly equipped with many functions and offensive capabilities!

Of course, this ship was also new.

Many professional players were running around.

Lu Ran watched in amazement.

"What are these people doing? Building a ship? Are they going out to sea?" Lu Ran muttered in confusion.

"That shouldn't be the case, unless they have specific tasks to complete at sea. Otherwise, there's no need to enter the sea, and the Luan Region is ahead, which is an undeveloped area. It's too risky," Nanasheng was also puzzled.

Lu Ran and the others directly approached.

There were also some supervisors on the dock, arranging for workers to load equipment and other things onto the ship.

Lu Ran curiously approached a supervisor.

He asked, "Brother, what's this ship for? Are you going out to sea?"

The supervisor glanced at Lu Ran and the others.

He casually said, "Nonsense, what's a ship for if not to go out to sea? A toy?"

His words were impolite.

But not overly so.

Immediately after.

The supervisor continued, "You guys, you're from out of town, aren't you?"

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Yes, we came to the seaside to have some fun."

"Having fun is fine, but if you want to go out to sea, I advise you to hold back. The rewards for those going on this ship are generous, but the danger is definitely there. It's a nine-deaths-one-life situation, and the chances of returning are not high," the construction worker said directly.

Oh?

Lu Ran's eyes, instead, lit up. He asked, "Are you really going out to sea?"

"Yes, really going out to sea. What, do you really dare to go?" The supervisor looked at Lu Ran suspiciously.

"Just for fun, it's no big deal. How do I sign up?" Lu Ran chuckled, not saying anything more.

"Hey, sign up for what? If you want to go, gather here in three hours and board the ship directly. Someone on board will tell you what to do later," the supervisor just casually advised. Seeing Lu Ran and the others insist, he didn't bother to persuade them further and just told them when the ship would depart.

If you want to go, if you want to seek death, no one will stop you.

Fortune favors the bold!

It's just a pity.

The girls around Lu Ran, each one more beautiful than the last, going out to die like this would be a waste.
