Chapter 579 - 577: Lars
The time goes back to a few hours earlier.
On the Sulu Sea, a large fishing boat was rapidly heading northeast.
The beautiful Yan Tong sat at the bow of the boat, lightly covering her nose with her delicate hand to block the fishy smell from the fishing boat.
Her every move attracted the attention of the men on the boat.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the vast sea, Yan Tong felt quite gloomy and couldn’t help but sigh.
Just now, somehow, Zhang Songkang managed to persuade her to join this exploration activity.
Joining was joining.
She originally thought Zhang Songkang and the others would arrange a small yacht, or at worse, a speedboat!
But what was the result?
They arranged such a big and broken, smelly fishing boat.
If she had known it would be like this, she might as well have been lying in the sunroom of the hotel, enjoying a sunbath.
"Miss Yan, are you okay?"
At this moment, Zhang Songkang came over with two cups of juice.
Seeing him approaching, Yan Tong quickly wiped the gloom off her face and instead showed a beautiful and captivating smile.
Then she replied with a light smile, "I’m fine, just feeling a little seasick on this fishing boat for the first time!"
"Glad you’re okay!"
Hearing this, Zhang Songkang smiled and handed her the juice.
Yan Tong took the juice and was just about to drink it when she noticed some stains on the cup.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, completely extinguishing her desire to drink.
However, Yan Tong did not embarrass Zhang Songkang; she merely turned her head to look at the right side of the boat.
Over there, seven or eight men and women of various ages and genders were engaged in conversation.
There were excited smiles on their faces, toasting each other with beer.
Their laughter, full of excitement, drifted into Yan Tong’s ears with the sea breeze.
"Are they also here for the exploration activity?"
Yan Tong suddenly asked.
"Yes, they are like us, all going to explore that small island."
Zhang Songkang replied with a smile.
Among the laughing crowd, a young Caucasian man, about twenty-two or twenty-three, walked over to the boat’s bow with a beer bottle.
"Beautiful lady, may I offer you a drink?"
The young Caucasian man’s eyes were full of enthusiasm, as if they could melt a person.
"Sorry, I’m allergic to alcohol!"
Yan Tong was already accustomed to such pick-up lines.
She gave an apologetic yet gentle smile, dissipating all dissatisfaction the young Caucasian man felt.
"That’s really a shame!"
The young Caucasian man shook his head helplessly and returned to the crowd.
Seeing him fail, the others laughed even more joyously.
"You all saw that? At least I tried!"
"Unlike you cowards who don’t even have the courage to hit on someone!"
The young Caucasian man didn’t mind their ridicule; instead, he winked at several equally young boys next to him.
"Thomas, that barely counts as hitting on someone!"
"Yeah, you said just two sentences and came back, thinking you could take our money?"
"I wonder if the man next to her is her boyfriend?"
"Probably not, they don’t look very close."
"Great, that means I still have a chance, right?"
"I advise you to be more careful!"
"They might not be in a relationship, but they boarded the boat together; their relationship isn’t ordinary!"
The young boys occasionally glanced toward the bow, whispering to each other.
Their discussion made two young girls nearby quite displeased.
"Hey, handsome guys, there are two beauties standing right next to you!"
"Yeah, aren’t we worth your compliments?"
The two young girls spoke up complainingly.
"Come on, Daisy! With your figure like a steel board, what is there for us to compliment?"
The young Caucasian shrugged disdainfully.
"Hahaha..."
His words elicited boisterous laughter from the others nearby.
"Thomas, I’m going to kill you!"
The young girl named "Daisy" roared angrily.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we should talk about the main thing now!"
At this time, the oldest person in the crowd suddenly spoke up.
Even though he was the oldest, it was only compared to the others.
In reality, he looked about thirty-five or thirty-six, with dark skin and typical mixed-race features.
"At your command, Captain Lars!"
"Who else but you is the leader of our exploration activity this time?"
The young Caucasian Thomas shrugged.
"Haha! I appreciate the title, but I’m not the captain yet!"
"Once I discover something good in that Blood-colored Divine Temple, it won’t be long before I become the captain."
Lars laughed heartily in response.
"How long until we reach that Divine Temple?"
The steel board girl Daisy asked.
"At our current speed, it’ll be about two more hours!"
Lars, clearly experienced, gave a roughly accurate estimate after a brief calculation.
"Lars, are you sure there will be treasure in that Divine Temple?"
A young man with yellow skin chimed in with a question.
"Absolutely!"
Lars nodded with great confidence, his voice full of assurance: "Do you know, there’s an ancient and mighty deity worshipped in that temple!"
"As long as you worship the statue and please the deity, they will fulfill your every wish!"
"But unfortunately, this temple does not always exist."
"Every once in a while, the temple will appear somewhere in the world, for two days, then disappear..."
Hearing his tale, the young men and women showed expressions of longing.
"But..."
The young Caucasian Thomas scratched his head and said, "Lars, don’t you think this story is a bit far-fetched?"
"Fulfilling any wish? That’s too exaggerated!"
"My friend, it’s not exaggerated!"
Despite being questioned, Lars showed no signs of anger.
He continued to smile, using an unhurried tone, "The world has already changed, hasn’t it?"
"First, Minma saw the emergence of vampire monsters, defeating the human coalition."
"Then another terrifying monster appeared in the north of Talan."
"If it weren’t for the Eagle Country military taking timely action, dropping a super bomb to kill that monster, the entire Sheng Mei could have been destroyed by the monster!"
"More importantly, Extraordinary Ability Users have now appeared!"
"The Dragon Country man named ’Tie Xiong’ became the world’s first Extraordinary Ability User, possessing unparalleled superpowers!"
"Opportunities are for those who are prepared; don’t you want to become an Extraordinary Ability User like Tie Xiong?"
With these words, the young people present were all stirred up.
In each of their eyes, there shone a light called desire...
