National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The wooden doors on both sides of the corridor blend seamlessly with the interior walls of the cabin.

Ivan reached out and knocked on the nearest door, making a dull "bang bang" sound.

Since entering this deadly game,

They endured constant crowding and dampness, with no privacy or dignity whatsoever.

Now, beneath my feet is a dry, flat floor.

They pushed open the first door, revealing a space of about seven or eight square meters inside. There was no furniture, only four walls and a floor, but for them, a relatively safe and enclosed space that could block the view of others was already a luxury.

"!" Ivan was the first to rush in, excitedly banging on the wall.

"Can I have this room? It's closest to the stairs, so I can rush out immediately!"

Turn your gaze to anyone else and let them decide for themselves.

Aurora chose the room across from Ivan's.

Her idea was simple: if someone was injured, she would rush out immediately.

Klaus inspected each room like he was conducting a house check, his brow furrowing and relaxing intermittently, seemingly discovering something.

"Mr. Sato,"

Seeing that he couldn't make a decision anytime soon, let's first settle things with Jiro Sato.

"Your room is the observation room upstairs."

It means living right under the Night's Watch's nose, and since only Ren can control the steering wheel now, they're not afraid of him having any ulterior motives.

Jiro Sato bowed quickly:

"Hi, thank you, Mr. Renyi."

His current treatment has exceeded his expectations, and is even better than what he experienced while adrift at sea.

He knew very well that he had no right to be picky.

There are a total of 7 doors in the corridor.

Ivan and Aurora each took one room, leaving five rooms remaining.

"This is......"

Klaus pushed open a door in the middle of the corridor. The space inside was twice the size of the other rooms, and the floor was lower, so it was probably used as a storage room.

And on the door opposite it, there was a small water droplet painted on it.

It even has a separate bathroom!

Although the space is only half the size of a room, it is fully equipped with a washbasin, toilet, and shower stall, and looks neat and beautiful.

"!"

Klaus looked like he was about to pounce on the showerhead, pull it off, and give it a kiss.

Although the 'shower head' still looks like a wriggling anemone, Klaus swears he doesn't mind at all now!

"Thank you Hanscat, thank you Dragon Kingdom, thank you Renyi and all of humanity..."

He closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

[Hahahaha, Klaus's gone mad! This is the first time I've ever seen someone pray while looking into a toilet!]

Klaus has been wanting to take a freshwater bath for a long time =.=

[Just directly thanking anyone? That's hilarious! Their faith has crumbled so quickly!]

[Haven't you noticed? He's lost all his composure now; he used to at least complain about it.]

"Don't rush to thank me," Renyi said, leaning against the doorway, offering a kind reminder.

"It's just a showroom; there's not enough fresh water."

ψ(╰_╯)

Klaus's blissful expression betrayed his arbitrarily cruel nature.

"Hehe..." Ivan laughed out loud without any attempt to hide it.

"But at least it's something to look forward to."

He casually pulled Klaus out, pointing to the empty room next door.

"Engineer, it looks like your workload is about to increase again."

"I'm not a carpenter!"

Klaus complained as usual, then honestly walked to the room next to the storage room, his eyes scanning the room's size and structure.

"I live here...it's convenient for me to get the materials..."

Based on his understanding of him, Klaus should have already begun to construct a three-dimensional model in his mind.

Without disturbing anyone, he took out all the messy stones, bones, and biological materials from the system warehouse and piled them into the storage room.

He's been wanting to clear out his inventory for a long time!

Previously, there were too many different kinds of items, and I had to look carefully for a long time every time I wanted to find something on the panel.

It's already late at night.

But everyone was so caught up in the joy of having a new "home" that no one felt sleepy.

Klaus went into work mode and locked himself in the storage room, while Renyi led Sato Jiro up the stairs back to the observation room above the deck.

...or rather, the driver's cab.

The new cab is much more spacious, and the transparent shell gives it an extremely wide field of vision with almost no blind spots.

Xiao Jiu lay flat on the purple rudder.

Like a melted rice cake,

Its colors kept changing and shifting with the light flowing inside the crystal, as if it were having a great time.

Seeing that anyone was coming over,

Xiao Jiu raised one of its tentacles and shook it, as if to say hello.

He casually reached out and touched its cool, smooth head, then placed his hand on the steering wheel.

"Heading, due north."

With a gentle sway of its serpentine tail, the much larger hull of the 【Deep Sea Shadow】turned as nimbly as when it was ten meters long.

This is much more convenient than the previous manual steering wheel!

Renyi, satisfied, took Wilson, the sleeping blue-eyed creature, and the stranger's skull from the corner storage box and placed them exactly as they were on the windowsill in front of the control panel.

It's like placing dolls or plants at your workstation.

Pleasant to watch!

He opened the system panel to see how many evolution points he had left after the evolution.

As my gaze swept over the vehicle's status, I suddenly noticed that...

The mutation progress bar, stuck at 87%, started to slowly climb again without him noticing.

94%...

95%...

Was it because the ship's hull had evolved to LV3, finally enabling it to digest the massive residual energy of that ancient behemoth?

Renyi stared intently at the blue progress bar, watching it climb slowly and steadily upwards.

98%...

99%...

[Mutation complete.]

[Mutation: Flesh and blood symbiosis. Passive ability, please explore on your own.]

[Comment: Neither sickness nor health, poverty nor wealth can separate you, not even death (or dismemberment). PS: I forgot to tell you, in a divorce (dismemberment), you can't take any of your property (materials).]

My eyelid twitched randomly.

This damn system has truly locked him and a ship together, and even included a prenuptial agreement.

Moreover, the state of resonance with the ship during the whale explosion last time

He coughed up blood after the ship was hit, so it seems this anomaly has both advantages and disadvantages.

"Figure it out on your own...?"

He closed his eyes, letting his consciousness sink once more into the shadowy depths of the sea.

If the previous resonance was his external observation of the ship's inner workings;

Now, he is the house itself.

He could feel the cold seawater caressing every inch of the ship's hull, the smooth sensation was crystal clear.

You can hear Ivan's thunderous snoring and Aurora's prayers;

You can also see Klaus scratching his head in the storage room, looking at a pile of unfamiliar materials.

With any thought, concentrate your mind.

The floor behind me began to ripple like the surface of water.

Several white threads, like tree roots breaking through the soil, intertwined and climbed, quickly weaving the prototype of a sofa chair.

Immediately afterwards, dark red tissue began to attach to the constructed sofa and chair frame.

The same flexible skin as the hull perfectly encases it.

A high-backed sofa chair "grew" out of the floor, its base seamlessly integrated with the floor and control panel, as if it had always been there.

He leaned back casually, and a section of the ship's hull gently supported him.

He adjusted to a comfortable sitting position, and a silent smile appeared on his lips.

It's time to try out the new features.

He issued the command through his mind:

"Dive."

The starlight on the rudder suddenly accelerated, and the massive body of the Deep Sea Shadow moved accordingly, silently cutting into the dark sea.

The sea surface was completely still, without even a ripple, as if it were just a shadow blending into the night.
