We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 4 First Time [Submarine Voyage]

This careful consideration greatly surprised Xia En.

The original owner's physical condition was actually just that of an ordinary adult male, with nothing special about it.

However, at this moment, an extraordinary power was flowing through his body.

This power made Shane's physique more well-proportioned and robust.

You can even feel the clear muscle lines when you touch it.

Xia En clenched his fist, feeling an inexhaustible strength within him, and swung it with great force.

Not only that, my skin has also become more delicate and resilient, quite different from before.

"...Could it be that..."

Xia En raised an eyebrow, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and made a slight cut on the back of his hand, leaving only a white mark.

"Firepower, speed, sturdiness..."

"Could they correspond to my strength, speed, and defense respectively?"

Xia En's eyes lit up, and he looked extremely excited.

Although the conversion ratio between the two is still unknown, Xia En estimates that his current physical condition has exceeded the limits of ordinary humans and entered the category of a secret path practitioner!

Moreover, the current Black Swan still has a lot of room for improvement!

If we equipped it with more cannons, replaced the sails with steam turbines, and reinforced the hull with steel...

How much will my combat power soar then?
Furthermore, Xia En remembered that in the sailing games of his previous life, there wasn't just one ship that could be bound to...

"The future is promising, the future is promising!"

Xia En murmured excitedly to himself, his anticipation growing stronger.

The legendary talent 【Captain's Majesty】 is already very strong.

What surprises will the legendary "Deep Sea Diving" bring him?

At this moment, Shane's hands left the helm, but the Black Swan continued to move steadily along its previous course.

He simply left Joey on the deck and went back to the captain's cabin himself.

The captain's cabin remained exactly as I remembered it, with almost no decorations. Everything that could be sold had been taken and sold by the original owner, so it appeared somewhat simple and shabby.

A life-sized mirror is fixed to the wall on the left.

Xia En turned her head and saw her reflection in the mirror.

Her light golden hair was exceptionally smooth, her eyes were the azure blue of the sea, and her beautiful features were more like handsome than dashing, with an even slightly delicate air about her.

He was clearly still just a pretty boy with a youthful appearance.

"hiss……"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Shane suddenly understood why Duke Nova had taken a liking to him.

Isn't this just a classic rich woman magnet?

Is this the succubus bloodline?

Xia En was inexplicably curious about what the original owner's ancestors had done to succubi.
"So good-looking, no wonder I am!"

After admiring his own beauty in the mirror, Shane walked to the nautical table.

There were many papers scattered on the table, including nautical charts of the area, details of the compensation goods, and files of sailors such as Renate and Jason, with key information circled in quill pen.

It's clear that although the original owner was young, he was also working hard to learn how to be a qualified captain.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very lucky.

Xia En sighed, sat down at the nautical table, and lightly tapped the [Deep Sea Diving] option on the panel with his mind.

The projection will be based on the ship's current position.

[Shall we begin submersible navigation?]

"Yes."

The moment Xia En silently recited the mantra, everything went black before his eyes.

Then, my consciousness was enveloped by something gentle and intimate, an indescribable sense of peace and comfort, as if I were in my mother's arms.

Xia En suddenly realized: "This is the protection of the ship's spirit?"

Then, his consciousness continued to sink, and sink even lower. Countless, thin strands of light were peeling away from his body, replacing them with profound darkness.

I don't know how much time has passed; it might be a second, or it might be a year.

When Shane opened his eyes again, he found himself underwater.

Surrounded by clear seawater, it felt like being inside a huge, sparkling sapphire.

Looking up, the sunlight shining into the sea scatters into spherical halos, magnificent and beautiful.

"Wow……"

Xia En let out a low gasp of amazement.

He had never dived while on Earth; he had only seen similar scenes in documentaries and other media.

It must be said that the impact of seeing something with your own eyes is completely different from that of video footage.

The most amazing thing is that, even though he was in the sea, Shane did not feel any difficulty breathing.

Water pressure and water temperature are as if they are isolated from the outside by a thin film.

They move freely, even more smoothly than on land.

"What an amazing feeling."

Xia En carefully observed his current state and found that his entire body was somewhat illusory, appearing chaotic and blurry in the seawater.

If someone were observing from a distance, they would probably only see a strange black shadow.

"Now it's become a ghost in the deep sea."

Shane also discovered that he still possessed the perception of his original body in the captain's cabin, as if he were multitasking.

With a thought, one can switch back to the main body, and can also exit the [Submerged] state at any time.

Having become familiar with underwater movement patterns, Shane lowered his head and looked down into the deeper waters.

This area is still near the coast, and the water depth is not exaggerated. You can vaguely see a few dilapidated underwater ruins.

These near-shore ruins have usually been looted countless times by various salvage ships, so there probably aren't many good things inside.

But it's a good target for a first dive.

As Xia En pondered this, he quickly descended.

Moments later, he reached the seabed.

The ruins consist of several submerged houses, their wooden doors and windows covered in green mold, giving them an old appearance.

Just as Shane was about to go inside to search, a shark suddenly emerged from the window of the house next door!
This shark is entirely gray-black, with a body length of up to two meters. Its snout is long and sword-shaped, with sharp serrations on both sides.

Xia En's heart skipped a beat.

Based on his limited knowledge of biology, he recognized it as a saw shark, a type of shark known for its ferocity.

Moreover, this sawshark seems a bit too big!
Sawsharks typically only reach a length of about one meter, and it's virtually impossible for them to grow to two meters.

Upon sensing Shane's arrival, the sawshark twisted its body, its sharp, saw-like snout cutting through the water, and swam swiftly towards him.

Seeing this, Xia En panicked for a moment.

But then I thought, since this is just a projection, what's there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Shane simply took the initiative to face the sawshark, mustered all his strength, and punched it in the head.

boom!
A muffled thud came from the water.

The sawshark's skull was smashed so hard it caved in, and blood splattered everywhere. It twitched twice in the seawater and then became completely still.

what?
That's it?

Xia En was quite surprised. He thought it would be a tough fight, but he was defeated with a single punch.

He underestimated the attribute bonuses provided by [Captain's Majesty].

Cartilaginous fish like sawsharks don't have much defense to begin with, and they were caught off guard by his powerful punch.

It was as if I had been violently struck by the Black Swan, and I was directly transported to another world.

At the same time, several lines of information also appeared.
