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

Noon in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.

The sun was high in the sky, and the waves seemed to be lapping the beach with a more rhythmic force than usual.

—The lord specifically instructed me before he left:

Patrol!

Nowadays, cave dwellers no longer stay in their caves during the day and only dare to come out when it gets cool in the evening, just like in the past.

Because the lord wiped out the Naga snakes.

So all you have to do is hide during the dead of winter and not let those hairy creatures in the snow mountains find you!

They donned snakeskin vests, wielded fine bone spears, and in groups of three or five, they somehow managed to convincingly portray themselves as monster patrol soldiers on the beach.

Patrol Captain A-Qiang—a name he made up on the spot—suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Huh?"

There seems to be a grayish-brown thing lying across that pile of seaweed!

Ah-Qiang tilted his head and leaned closer like a crab to take a look.

Two legs, no scales, no hair on its face...

Isn't this a 'human' who looks similar to the Descendant?

"There's a living one! A human!"

Several cavemen swarmed around him, some poking the man's waist with the butt of their spears, others touching his forehead with their claws.

The rough claws left several white marks on the boy's head, and it quickly withdrew them guiltily.

"Alive! Hot as fire! Go get the leader!"

After a while.

The newly upgraded Dala Bengba rushed over.

It was dressed impeccably now, not only wearing a three-piece suit made of naga leather (which it thought made Nathan look very stylish), but also carrying a strangely shaped notebook—

That was the treasure book it asked Nathan to make for it!

Dala Bengba squatted down, then stretched out his thick fingers and pinched the freckled boy's philtrum hard.

"ah--!"

She actually woke up!

Esther was awakened by the pain.

He struggled to open his eyes, his sunburned skin stinging. After a long while, the double vision finally cleared, and what came into view was Dala Bengba's wrinkled face.

"Monster!"

Dala Bengba was yelled at so hard he leaned back and grimaced, then pulled out a wooden sign with obvious disgust.

Seeing that the monster in front of him didn't move, Esther's rationality slowly returned.

He saw it clearly.

The wooden sign the monster was holding up had two square characters carved on it; these were two of the few Chinese characters he recognized:

Dragon Kingdom

He has arrived in the territory of Renyi, the Dragon Kingdom contestant who is like a god!

The boy's eyes lit up instantly.

"My name is Esting, a contestant from Australia! I mean no harm, really!"

They didn't care whether Dala Bengba could understand it or not.

His survival instinct made him blurt out, pointing urgently to the southern sea:

"I have two more companions, Luigi from Maple Leaf and Park Yeon-jin from South Korea... Please, please save them!"

He only remembers swimming until dawn, reaching his physical limit, and now he doesn't know how long he's been unconscious...

"We are very useful; we listen to righteous words, truly!"

After the water was drained, Esting's head lolled to the side, and he fainted again.

"...Benevolence and righteousness?"

This is the lord's name.

A dozen cavemen stared longingly at Dala Bengba. A-Qiang leaned over and whispered:

"Chief, what did he say?"

How would it know?!

Dala Bengba's eyes widened, but as the lord's steward, it had to demonstrate a composure and wisdom beyond that of the cave dwellers!

So it solemnly opened the little notebook (the 'dictionary' left by Nathan).

One page...

"Save them" means that we need their help;

"No malicious intent" means not an enemy;

Two pages...

"Useful" means there are good things!

"Two" represents 2...

"profound!"

It let out a loud and short exclamation, as if struck by a lightning bolt of wisdom, and suddenly understood!

"This human said he's not an enemy, and he has two gifts for us to collect ourselves!"

The cave dwellers were filled with awe and reverence.

"As expected of the leader, he even understands this..."

"Yeah yeah!"

"These humans are too kind, bringing things from so far away!"

Dala Bengba straightened his back again. "Carry him back, use some herbal medicine to keep him alive, the rest of you drag the raft out and come out to sea with me!"

Several cavemen lifted Esting up.

Meanwhile, Dala Bengba stood with his hands behind his back on the shore, gazing at the sea...

The divine book left by Nathan is truly amazing!

......

The deck of the [Deep Sea Shadow] at this moment.

"Ah Qiu!"

Nathan inexplicably felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.

"I wonder which beautiful lady is still so hung up on me..."

He rubbed his nose.

Put away the notebook where I just drew a "steel fish".

"Splash—"

Bare-chested, Ivan emerged from the sea and leaped onto the deck. He shook his wet hair like a big dog, then shook his head at Renyi:

"No way, boss, this is on a completely different level from the Tranquil Sea."

Previously, in the tranquil sea, some places had a depth of 1,500 meters, but in this area...

It's like a bottomless pit down there.

He has descended to his current limit of about 4,000 meters, but he can only sense that there is still a very, very long way to go below.

"It's okay." Ren Yi wasn't surprised.

Since a special creature of the 'Gundam' level has appeared here, the environment is naturally not the same as the beginner area.

He turned to Klaus, who was gathering the materials that had just been separated, and asked him.

"So, how about it? Are those [Lunar Titanium Alloy (β)] and [Superconducting Metal Fibers] usable?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Klaus directly shared the panel with Anyone.

The energy conductivity of those superconducting metal fibers, combined with the previously collected mutated mosquito mouthparts, created a constantly changing mesh on his panel.

Lightweight, flexible, and deformable...

It's clear that if it were to succeed, it would be an extremely effective and deadly trap.

But Klaus's face fell and he sighed:

"The quantity is too small. Five units of superconducting metal fiber are not enough to build a net that is even one meter long."

He then picked up a half-meter square piece of moon-white metal and tapped it lightly with his knuckles.

【Lunar Titanium Alloy (β)】

"This thing is ridiculously strong and tough, but it's as light as foam."

Klaus held up the metal plate with wide amazement. "If we used this to add an extension module to [Deep Sea Shadow]..."

"Conservatively estimating the compressive strength without significantly increasing the weight..."

He made a peace sign—

"Double it!"

A glint of light flashed in Ren Yi's eyes.

Currently, the Deep Sea Shadow's diving depth is 1,000 meters. If it doubles, that's 3,000 meters... As the ship evolves further, it's not impossible for it to dive to 6,000 meters!

Then I'll run into the monster horde and unleash [Flare]...

ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

Just thinking about it is delightful.

However, Klaus poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Similarly... it's still far from enough. This tiny bit is barely enough to patch up."

Renyi wasn't disappointed; at least she had a direction to strive for.

The appearance of that "Gundam Fish" was definitely not an accident. Perhaps this sea area holds the remnants of a "mechanical ascension" civilization?

They need to search for clues in the deeper parts of the ocean, or...

To lure more prey up.

His gaze fell casually on the small pile of metal:

"Not enough for the ship..."

Klaus, standing next to him, instinctively replied, "Yes, that's too little."

"...What if it's for human use?"

You look at me, I look at you.

Next second,

Both men turned their gazes to the other side, to a burly man rinsing off the salt with fresh water.
