The crowd was still pondering why Tang Rao remained indifferent as the boat drifted away until Wu Suowei arrived after a long journey, making everything clear.
Since the boat was designed and manufactured by Wu Suowei, he naturally had control over its movement.
Seeing the boat floating on the sea, Wu Suowei quickly steered it back to the shore.
"I told you this boat performs well, but you just wouldn't believe it. Look, it's been so far out there without any sea beasts attacking, proving that its quality is reliable and won't cause any issue anywhere."
Wu Suowei guided the boat to the shore and jumped on board first to set an example for Tang Rao.
"Here I am standing, so what are you afraid of? Just get on."
"Of course, I'm scared. You're quite old, and if you die, you die. But I'm still young and don't want to die yet."
Quite old, Wu Suowei?
Seriously, was he joking? Wu Suowei always felt quite youthful.
"Why do I feel like you really want to die? As my mentor, you actually want to trick me into navigating this little boat through the storm; I never thought of it."
A boat that trembles with just a light breeze, how could it be fine?
"Dear disciple, what you say makes your mentor's heart ache."
Wu Suowei clutched his chest, "Your mentor just wants your boat to stand out from the others. Everyone competes for the biggest boat, which is unwise. There's no innovation at all! Just think, your boat is the only one that can sail underwater, how impressive is that."
Wu Suowei has been playing Illusion City so much that he can use words like 'impressive' fluently, making Tang Rao increasingly feel he's had quite a significant influence on the people of the Divine Realm. Since Illusion City entered the Divine Realm, many have used it to connect with each other, enriching their spirits. Meanwhile, Tang Rao, through Illusion City, can control the thoughts of most people and even brainwash them at a deeper level.
"Mentor, I'll ask one last time, is this boat reliable? If it's not, I'll spend money to rent another boat. We don't lack money, but we lack life. I won't risk my life, and don't you joke about it either."
Tang Rao could rent a boat or simply not go for now. His requirement is simple: as long as he can stay alive, that is the most important thing.
"It's really safe. Otherwise, you can get on first. If it's unsafe, you can haunt me as a ghost, okay?"
Wu Suowei really didn't know what to say to make Tang Rao believe him, so he decisively made a solemn vow to add credibility to his words.
"Wow, I've never seen a mentor as unreliable as you. Once in a millennium, I'll go with you for a trip, anyway, I have a tough life. Even if I fall into the sea, I surely can keep my life."
No matter how unlucky Tang Rao might be, he can still keep his life, and thinking of this, Tang Rao finally felt reassured.
"Does it have to be so exaggerated? I'm a genius Artifact Refiner, others come begging on their knees, and here you are, acting as if my creations are worthless."
If it were someone else, Wu Suowei would have packed up and left long ago. But it's Tang Rao, someone he chose himself.
"What do you mean I'm acting as if your creations are worthless? It's obvious that your stuff is no good."
If Tang Rao thinks the stuff is worthless, then why is he jumping onto the boat?
"Are you guys scared or not? If you're scared, stay home and wait for me."
Tang Rao looked at the girls on the shore, expecting them to pretend to be scared, but to his surprise, each one jumped onto the deck without even thinking.
Isn't that too loyal?
If Tang Rao were asked if he'd come along, he surely would have chosen to decline.
A boat without safety guarantees and on its maiden voyage, there's no way Tang Rao would use himself as a guinea pig.
"So straightforward, aren't you afraid of death?"
Once the women were all on deck, Tang Rao's first question was this.
"Of course we're afraid, terribly afraid. But we've all died once, what's the big deal about dying another time? Once or twice, who cares?"
Wang Han had been with Tang Rao for so long, her feelings for him couldn't be summed up in a word or two.
What's the best way to show Wang Han's intentions towards Tang Rao? Perhaps just like now, proving with action.
"Let's go, set off first. I've been through reincarnation so many times, mentor, you better pray that I'm all right because if something happens, you won't end well either."
Wu Suowei couldn't be threatened by Tang Rao; he's seen so much in life. Besides, could he possibly doubt something he made himself?
All six of them boarded the boat, and just as Tang Rao lay down on a deck chair to sunbathe, he suddenly noticed a misty substance rising on all sides of the small boat. It looked like mist, yet upon approaching, you could see the outside clearly.
"It's a smoke screen to protect the boat. We can see outside from inside, but the sea beasts can't see in. Unless manually controlled, this mist won't dissipate, and it's waterproof."
Is just one smoke screen that amazing?
"Look, our boat is more stable than the one next door. The neighbor's boat is almost being overturned by the waves, yet ours is perfectly fine."
As Wu Suowei operated the boat, he also compared it to the neighboring vessel. In direct comparison, you have to admit, the difference was significant.
"It's just okay, I guess."
Tang Rao didn't verbally praise Wu Suowei, though inside, he was thrilled.
Never mind that the boat doesn't look impressive, using it feels extraordinary.
Luckily, he hadn't completely despised it; otherwise, losing a Divine Artifact, he wouldn't have forgiven himself.
"If this is just okay, then I need to show you what true strength looks like."
Who knows what he pressed on the control panel, but the small boat suddenly began sinking underwater.
Tang Rao was so scared he almost wet himself!
Was Wu Suowei bored with nothing else to do, so he decided to invent something weird?
Tang Rao closed his eyes, imagining whether they'd be devoured by sea beasts, with not even a bone left, just as the whole boat crashed around, controlled by Wu Suowei at the bottom of the sea.
"Wow, the view underneath is gorgeous!"
Rao Linger held her face in her hands and couldn't help but marvel at the beautiful underwater scenery.
"See, I wasn't wrong, was I? In the entire Divine Realm, only my boat can traverse underwater and coexist peacefully with sea beasts. Look at how friendly the sea beasts are to the people on our boat."
Wu Suowei even pretended to wave at the sea beasts outside, trying to make friends with them.
