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

Ivan's laughter cracked just now, sounding like a goose.

Even now, seeing Klaus's face still makes me want to laugh a couple of times.

"Hahahaha—boss..."

"Who says a mascot almost gets our engineer killed the moment it appears? Hahaha!"

Klaus's face darkened, but he couldn't refute this, which made him very angry!

"Where we're from, we'd call this 'consecration'."

To put it seriously,

He beckoned to Klaus, "Nod your head so I can see."

Although Klaus was full of resentment, he still subconsciously lowered his head obediently.

"No broken skin, it's not a big problem."

He casually turned his face slightly to the left and right, and diagnosed him in a calm tone.

"Just think of it as a natural facial spa treatment to promote blood circulation and beautify your skin."

"puff--"

Ivan finally calmed down.

Upon hearing this, he laughed so hard he squatted down on the ground.

Klaus glared at Ivan.

[Hahahahahahahahaha!]

[While others endure wind and sun to survive, we have octopus cupping therapy ヾ(･ω･`｡)]

[That's not an octopus kiss mark, that's clearly a face full of peach blossoms!]

[What does "a face full of peach blossoms" mean? Haha, that's too good to be true!]

Blood circulation, beauty and skin care...

That's a double blow.

But what to do? He couldn't get angry at the boss, so he lowered his head and stared dead at the culprit.

Baby octopus.

The little octopus curled up its nine soft tentacles and looked back innocently with its tiny black bean-like eyes (●´▽｀●).

"alright,"

He poked the octopus's soft head casually. "Now that it's on the ship, it needs a name."

Hearing that his name was being chosen, Ivan perked up.

"How about calling it 'The Mask' or 'The Terminator'?"

"..."

Klaus conveyed his disdain for the two highly targeted proposals with his eyes.

"If you ask me, it would be better to call it 'Teppanyaki' or 'Wasabi'..."

He gritted his teeth.

"Constantly remind it of its ultimate destiny!"

[Hilarious, Old Ke is planning to eat this as a late-night snack.]

[Calculate the area of ​​the little octopus's psychological trauma.]

[Mascot (✖) Reserve Food (✔) (≡・ x ・≡)]

"I think... none of them are very creative."

He rested his chin on his hand, his thoughtful gaze falling on the little creature that was trying to climb up his arm.

"He has nine legs..."

Ivan looked at him expectantly.

Klaus secretly thought that if it had a powerful and imposing name, it would make him seem less unlucky for almost suffocating.

Even the live stream chat has become much quieter.

Most of them are using epic names like "Son of the Sea", "Touch of the Abyss", and "Davy Jones".

"Moreover, it chased after our ship and delivered itself to our doorstep..."

"Let's call it..."

Klaus had a bad feeling.

"Nine yuan and ninety cents with free shipping."

The mark on Klaus's face seemed even redder... or rather, his face turned red and the mark turned purple.

"Pfft—hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Ivan burst into a deafening burst of laughter, falling backward onto the deck like a fish out of water.

"Nine... Hahahaha... I can't take it anymore... Boss... Hiccup!"

[......]

[? ? ? ? ]

[I fucking thought it was Kraken! Turns out it's Pinduoduo?!]

[That's so damn apt! Nine legs, and free shipping to your door!]

[Coffin Guy's thought process... truly amazing!]

The new customer, whose order was named "9.9 Yuan with Free Shipping," completely failed to grasp the cheap connotations of the name.

But from the exaggerated reactions of the two humans beside it, it also realized the 'malice' from another world behind the name.

He no longer puts the ball in his hands.

Instead, it unfolded with a "whoosh," like a dandelion with its feathers standing on end, its nine tentacles sticking up and dancing wildly, restless and helpless.

Two tentacles lashed out at any arm.

It then extended two more tentacles, one pointing at Ivan, who was laughing uncontrollably on the ground, a silent accusation.

Seeing this, Klaus touched his face, a smug smile creeping onto his lips.

"What should we do, boss?" he asked, looking down at the little octopus.

"It seems that Nine Yuan Nine doesn't like the name you gave it (ㆀ˘･з･˘)."

The little octopus paused in its waving of tentacles, its beady eyes staring at Klaus, their color slowly shifting from relaxed blue to purple.

[Why does it suddenly seem like we're getting into some kind of slang and banter...?]

[Translation: Boss, look, it doesn't like you (doge emoji)]

[9.9 Yuan: I'll remember you, Hans the Cat!]

[This is reverse bullying じò ぴé]

What goes around comes around...

"Seriously..."

After laughing enough, Ivan became serious. "Boss, isn't this kid a little too smart?"

She can get angry, she can act cute, and she even knows how to accuse and belittle others?

That's at least as smart as a child's!

"Take a look for yourselves."

Ivan and Klaus exchanged a glance, then simultaneously reached out and touched the little octopus's body.

[Special creature: ???]

[Comment: Its intelligence may surpass that of a certain gentleman on board who wishes to remain anonymous. PS: Perhaps two.]

"That's not me Ծ‸ Ծ"

Ivan spoke with righteous indignation; he was an elite soldier of the Russian Bear!

"It's definitely not me o(=•ェ•=)m"

Klaus wasn't ashamed at all; he was the youngest engineer at a major global company!

If you act arbitrarily, you won't feel like yourself anymore.

He held the baby octopus up. "What do you think? How's the name?"

The little octopus slowly raised its two tentacles and crossed them in front of it to form an X.

[It...it refused!]

[Octopus: I don't want this name! It's too corny and doesn't suit my noble temperament!]

[Help! This little thing is practically a spirit!]

"Oh well......"

"Let's put the name issue aside for now, I'll just call you Xiao Jiu for now."

It seems they have accepted this temporary nickname.

This time, the little octopus returned to its adorable and silly appearance, hooking onto any shoulder with its tentacles, its eight legs draped over its back, and the remaining one swaying back and forth in front like a kitten's tail.

"Maybe it really will bring us good luck."

Klaus was no longer angry and remarked with emotion as he watched the scene unfold.

"Gurgle..."

Ivan rubbed his belly, which was showing through his abs from laughing.

"I'm getting hungry from laughing so much, I'll go start a fire," he said, patting the ash off his hands.

"Um."

Randomly glanced at Xiao Jiu, then picked up the "Pudu" (a type of Buddhist prayer scroll) beside him.

"It's a good opportunity to test if our new mascot works. I'm looking for something new."

He took out a piece of sea wolf fish meat, hung it on the hook, walked to the side of the boat, and cast out the fishing line.

have to say,

This new Lv3 fishing rod feels much smoother than before.

"Klaus, the marks on your face match the sails perfectly," Ivan teased as he chopped wood.

"If you say another word, all the weapons we'll be using will be wasted!"

Klaus threatened coldly.

Ivan immediately made a gesture of zipping up his mouth to indicate surrender.

No one noticed that shortly after the fishing line was casually cast, Xiao Jiu's color subtly changed, and a flowing halo appeared.

Those cute, bean-like eyes gazed intently at the sea behind the ship.
