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

The temperature is changing.

The water pressure is also changing.

However, for Xiao Jiu, seawater was no different from slightly viscous air, and the temperature was just like being in an air-conditioned room.

As a qualified, dependent...invisible sub-landlord—

Xiao Jiu felt obligated to take care of those fragile little humans up there.

Ok.

The main reason is that their cooked food is delicious, and their massage techniques are also quite good!

Swim past this level, and there's delicious food down below.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in its beady eyes. It vaguely remembered that a long, long time ago, a white creature brought it to rummage through the refrigerator.

That crazy creature likes to dance on the edge of the trench while grabbing its tentacles!

"Down, further down..."

Its round body sank gently into the sea.

There was a strong undercurrent below, and every now and then a few strangely shaped fish swam by, but Xiao Jiu didn't notice any of them.

—Either too small or too little meat—

It wants to find one with lots of meat and that looks appetizing!

Continue.

"collapse--"

Xiao Jiu looked down and saw that the thin line tied to her body was taut; the fishing line from [Pudu] wasn't long enough.

It's in the way!

With a deft flick of its tentacles, it broke free from its restraints and plunged headfirst into the trench, leaving only a loose, empty thread floating in the sea.

On the sea.

He calmly and confidently held onto the [Salvation] [item].

Klaus crouched anxiously to the side:

"I'm saying... Little Jiu is so small, I hope nothing bad will happen to her..."

Oh, right...

This meddlesome guy doesn't even know that Xiao Jiu is the good neighbor.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Instead of worrying about it, worry about the people it's targeting."

Viewers with a God's-eye view were delighted:

[Hahaha, Klaus is really like a mother hen, worrying herself sick and blues.]

[Regarding the incident of the ship's pets going out to sea to hunt for the captain]

[Why do I feel like it's arbitrary on CPU Klaus?]

Is it possible that the expert is telling the truth...?

Suddenly.

As soon as the weight in one's hand lightens, the taut fishing line droops softly.

He quickly turned the winch to retrieve the fishing line, but the end of the line pulled from the sea was empty, and the slipknot had come undone.

Just when Klaus thought that Xiao Jiu had met with misfortune and was about to observe a three-second moment of silence.

"puff!"

A familiar blue shadow burst out of the water, leaping spiritedly into Ren Yi's arms—

"Chirp! Chirp chirp..."

"Human! That thing in the fridge is different from the one I've seen before!"

It raised a tentacle, and surprisingly, a small piece of metal was wrapped around it!

"Um?"

【Lunar Titanium Alloy (β)】

[Review: A piece of junk from the moon, a treasure from Earth. Its toughness can withstand the initial sarcasm and ridicule from a dumped ex-girlfriend and a rich second-generation heir. PS: There's no moon here; who knows where it came from.]

"This texture... a natural fracture surface left by high-frequency quenching?!" Klaus's eyes lit up.

"Could there be an arms factory down there?"

"...It's also possible that a dedicated welder lived there."

What really bothers me is that comment in the review, "There's no moon at all."

Indeed, the moon was never seen in the "Ocean Era," and I wonder if this has any connection to the truth.

"grumble!"

"Stop chatting! That guy's coming up!"

Xiao Jiu shoved the metal into Renyi's hand, and the tentacle gestured excitedly.

This little guy...

Is he trying to take credit?

I casually pinched Xiao Jiu's tentacles, and the little thing comfortably sprawled out like an octopus cake, then jumped up and gestured as if it had been electrocuted.

"...You mean, very, very big..."

Xiao Jiu nodded frantically, then pointed to himself and made a gesture of being chased and beaten.

"Did we mess with something big?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sea below seemed to be grabbed from below, and [Deep Sea Shadow] was pushed more than ten meters away by the surging waves.

"What is that?!"

Ivan gripped the gunwale to steady himself and looked warily out to sea.

A deep blue light shone through the dark sea...

It's getting brighter and brighter, and closer and closer.

Crash—!

The sea broke open, and the creature that appeared did not leap out of the water like the previous monsters, but instead... rose vertically in a solemn and imposing manner!

The seawater cascades down its surface like a waterfall, revealing its magnificent yet icy true form!

It was a strange fish that was about ten meters long.

But the word "fish" is no longer sufficient to describe its existence...

Its body was covered with pieces of dark blue metallic armor.

A ghostly blue light flowed through the gaps between the shells. The head was streamlined, without eyes or a mouth, and the corresponding part resembled a robot face with protruding teeth.

It doesn't have arms or legs, but it does have fins extending from both sides—

Rather than fins...

Rather, they are more like two pairs of folded, mechanical-looking short wings!

The entire organism... no, I should say the entire creation, is like... an underwater mech that appears on television.

They seem to have an aura of silence about them when they appear.

Even Nathan was speechless.

Klaus's mouth was half-open, his Adam's apple bobbing for a long time before he finally managed to utter two words:

"......Gundam?!"

[Holy crap!!! Is this a fish?! You call this a fish?!]

[...Isn't this more exciting than Boruto?!]

[This...it's like a fish-themed Gundam!]

[Expert: Hey! Just snagged a limited edition figure.]

That ship... Taiwan...

The fish didn't seem to be coming for them; its upper body stood upright in the sea, its head turning around like a robot's, as if searching for something.

"It seems to be looking for something?" Aurora breathed very softly, afraid of attracting the creature's attention.

He glanced down at his good neighbor, who was curled up in his arms.

"Hey, is it looking for you?"

Xiao Jiu was as timid as a glutinous rice cake. Upon hearing this, she immediately stirred her tentacles, trying to slip into Renyi's sleeve and hide.

"Smack."

"Clang...thump."

The sound of that cold, metallic piece of metal hitting the deck was incredibly crisp. It bounced twice at Random's feet and then stopped.

For an instant.

All eyes (including the fish) turned to look.

They then noticed that a small piece was missing from the bridge of the fish's head—a spot resembling the bridge of a nose.

Ren Yi stared intently at the gradually lighting up mecha fish opposite him, while casually bending down and pinching the [Lunar Titanium Alloy (β)] with two fingers.

"Xiao Jiu".

"It's wrong to take other people's things without permission."

"It's especially impolite to pick someone's nose off, you know?"

He gently picked up Xiao Jiu and placed it, along with the metal block, into the petrified Klaus's hand:

"The brat is ignorant, but it already knows it was wrong."

Xiao Jiu sat up in shock, pointing at herself with her finger and making a "Chirp?" sound.

"So..." He patted Klaus's stiff shoulder again, "Klaus will help you put it back."

Klaus abruptly turned his head, his eyes widening: "?"
