The male supporting character was actually myself.

The room was empty and dark, with the sea breeze whistling in through the window.

He got up, walked to the window, and looked out. There were no mermaids, no sea fairy, and no blue whale princess. There was only a murky, dark sea and a gloomy sky. The sea wind howled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. It looked like another heavy rain was about to fall.

"What a pity, it was just a dream." Jiang Yuan closed the window and drew the curtains, his interest waning.

Lying back on the warm, comfortable bed, Adriana's beauty and graceful figure floated before his eyes, her every smile and gesture haunting him and making him feel restless and agitated.

I should have chosen to keep her back then!

You won't get stuck on something and rashly lose the sign-in system; you'll also gain a loyal companion.

Having someone to sleep with and having helpers working shifts to drive the yacht...

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life; after entering the chaotic burial sea, he never saw a mermaid again.

Hopefully, the treasures hidden deep in the ocean will bring some surprises, and maybe it will allow me to become the overlord of the sea! Then, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to swallow up that bastard Jiang Chen's alliance?

Filled with wonderful anticipation for the treasure, Jiang Yuan quickly drifted off to sleep again.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the window, and soon a torrential downpour began.

"what!!!"

A sharp scream suddenly rang out, then fell silent as if it had been cut off.

Nightsha collapsed onto the wool carpet, convulsing all over.

"Huff, huff..." She gasped for breath, her face flushed from the rapid heartbeat, her eyes unfocused, and a trace of something glistening in the light at the corner of her mouth.

"Captain... I... I really can't say it..." Nightsha's legs were still trembling slightly unconsciously, and her voice was weak.

Jiang Chen grinned mischievously, "Looks like I'll have to keep 'torturing' you before you'll confess!"

"No, Captain, I can't take it anymore." Nightshade shook her head weakly, panting, "I really can't go on, I'll break down if I keep going... I give up! Don't, don't ask me anymore, now is not the time to be honest..."

The little white cat lay in the small room specially prepared for it by its host. Looking out the window at the rapidly receding, churning seawater, it saw dark clouds and lightning ahead. It was so frightened that it quickly curled up in the blanket and muttered softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The ship girl is steering us at full speed. We'll be safe even if we encounter a storm."

I believe they are professionals!

"I'm such a great support system! Summoning ship girls to help the host is fantastic!"

"Cats are so clever and quick-witted!"

After praising itself for a while, the fluffy little dumpling found a comfortable position and fell soundly asleep.

The next morning, when Jiang Chen got out of bed, he found that the sky outside the window was covered with dark clouds, and the sky was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to fall.

"Going any deeper into this environment would probably be dangerous." He opened the alliance page and posted an announcement, indicating that he was going to search for treasure, but it seemed that things wouldn't go very smoothly.

For everyone's safety, he appointed Li Xiaoqian as the vice leader, temporarily replacing him to lead everyone to wait on the perimeter.

Zhang Lin and the other officers were all equipped with firearms on their ships; in addition, the Alliance's protective shield was extremely sturdy, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.

Hearing that the trip was dangerous, many loyal followers wanted to go with him, but Jiang Chen persuaded them not to.

In case of real danger, be able to protect yourself in a critical moment;

If we bring other ships in, we might not be able to manage them all.

"Alliance Leader, please be extremely careful!"

"Take care, Alliance Leader! We're waiting for your return!"

"May our leader achieve a resounding victory!"

"May the Alliance Leader have a safe journey and return in triumph!"

……

On the vast fleet of ships, the crowd shouted as they watched the leader's superyacht sail into the increasingly stormy seas shrouded in dark clouds, soon disappearing into the light mist.

"Another tedious and boring day, but we're getting closer and closer to the treasure!" As night fell again, Jiang Yuan rubbed his stiff neck and looked at the map, where only half the journey remained. He didn't feel much more relaxed.

The further they sailed, the worse the environment became. He looked out the window with great concern at the stormy weather, and even worried that if no one was there to help him keep watch at night, the ship might be blown off course by the storm.

If we continue onward, we might encounter another tornado!

Jiang Yuan prayed that nothing would go wrong while he was resting at night, and simply carried his bedding to the small bed in the driver's cab to lie down and doze off.

In case anything happens, I can take control of the ship immediately.

"Captain... um!" Amy's small face scrunched up slightly, almost pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Her long hair hung down on the railing, swaying back and forth.

My hands were slightly white from gripping the railing so tightly.

Her bent-over body swayed slightly, her small mouth parted slightly as she breathed rapidly, "The storm... oh, it's huge! Captain, should we continue?"

"If you feel you can't hold on any longer, I'll stop."

“No, no need to stop…” Amy gasped, beads of sweat forming on her nose. “It’s perfect for ship girls. I’m just worried about Captain.”

Jiang Chen felt the ship rocking up and down, and his body swayed back and forth and side to side. "Don't worry."

I've said it before, it's my turn to protect you in this world.

"No matter what happens, just stay on the ship. Leave the rest to me."

The storm outside the window grew increasingly violent, with the sea wind howling and large raindrops pounding against the glass, drowning out the sounds, whether gentle or urgent.

Only two or three lights illuminated the entire superyacht.

Edith was engrossed in reading a book in the cockpit while simultaneously controlling the yacht to move forward at full speed.

Mandy was busy in the kitchen preparing delicious dishes that would restore her strength and energy;

In Jiang Chen's luxurious master bedroom, the lights were soft, and through the rainwater sliding down the clean, bright, and large floor-to-ceiling windows, two figures could be vaguely seen.

Amidst wind and rain, and the mingling of water and milk (that won't do either)...

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Script Has Been Lay Down

"This damn weather!" Jiang Yuan cursed, rubbing his eyes as he carefully examined the route markings on the treasure map.

Fortunately, the treasure map is very "intelligent" and can automatically plan routes like navigation software.

Otherwise, with such heavy rain and streams of water washing over the cockpit windows, making it almost impossible to see outside, and the compass constantly shaking due to the impact, one might easily lose one's way in the storm.

He looked up at the clock on the wall; it was 1:10 a.m.

I hadn't been asleep for long when I was woken up by a violent jolt.

Fortunately, he woke up in time; otherwise, he wouldn't have realized that the storm had blown the boat off course. He quickly steered the yacht back to the correct course and sailed against the current.

Several hours later, as dawn broke, Jiang Yuan was exhausted and sleepy.

"Finally, I can rest! Anyway, Jiang Chen has to carry so many burdens from the alliance and can't move fast. If he can't catch up, the treasure will definitely be mine. I'd better go get some sleep..."

He yawned, checked again to make sure the direction the yacht was drifting downstream was consistent with the route indicated by the treasure map, then stretched and lay back down on the small bed to rest.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chen was already sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast.

Apart from Amy, who was still sleeping, the other ship girls were chatting and eating noisily.

"Captain, at the current speed, we should be able to reach the location of the treasure by tomorrow morning," Christine reported earnestly after taking over the command. "But our detection instruments are currently restricted, and we can only observe the surrounding area. We don't know what's going on deep inside."

Mandy forked a large meat roll for him and took credit for the little sea otter who was wolfing down the sea urchin, saying, "Luckily, Yinyin helps us explore the foggy areas from time to time, so we don't have to worry about running aground or hitting an island."

"Yes, Yinyin has done a great job!" Jiang Chen nodded in approval. "Give it extra food, and it can eat whatever it wants."

"Aww!" The pure white little sea otter's eyes narrowed into crescent moons with joy.

The little white cat, munching on dried fish, translated, "It says its favorite food is sea urchin, and the host has provided plenty."

"After approaching the storm's radius near the treasure location, we haven't found any more drifting supplies, and we probably won't be receiving any more supplies recently," Xueye reported while eating a vegetable roll.

Fei also added, "The compass keeps malfunctioning, as if there's some kind of signal interference."

"I have prepared all the weapons and we are ready to fire at any time. Captain, please rest assured!" Nightsha said confidently.

Edith, after her shift ended, suggested, "These are not problems."

We are invincible ship girls, what's so difficult about controlling a small yacht?

It can easily handle even tornadoes.

Let's discuss our entertainment later; I want to play cards!

Mandy's eyes lit up and she raised her hand, saying, "Me too!"

"Let's play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) between the three of us," Christine said, puffing out her chest with a mischievous grin. "The kind where the loser has to take off their clothes!"

Fei glanced at it, reached out and touched it, smiling slyly, "Hmm, that's a good suggestion. Edith, win her everything!"

Edith gave her a reassuring look.

"Captain, let's play mahjong together!" Xueye pulled Yemisa and Fei along, looking at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.

So while the protagonist Jiang Yuan was struggling, exhausted and sleepy as he sailed his yacht alone through the storm, Jiang Chen and the ship girls were having a great time, eating, drinking, resting, and playing.

During the day, the girls play ball and do indoor sports, having a wonderful time.

At night, the girls playfully touch balls and engage in other forms of interaction, experiencing immense joy.

"Finally, I can rest." Jiang Yuan, who had been working for more than ten hours straight, was exhausted and yawned to relax a little.

Previously, due to the bad weather, he could only rest for a short while occasionally, and now he is already at his limit.

As they sailed into the edge of the treasure area, they had already passed through the storm circle that could capsize the ship at any moment and entered the inner area.

Apart from the thick fog with extremely low visibility and various strange rocks, broken ships and rotten masts standing silently in the sea, creating a terrifying and tense atmosphere, there was nothing else.

Jiang Yuan moored the boat next to a tall, desolate island and carefully surveyed the surroundings.

The seawater seemed to have stopped flowing.

The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of a heartbeat.

He surveyed the island that was near the shore; the island was barren, with only strangely shaped, jagged rocks.

"Just a short nap, just a little while." Unable to stay awake any longer, Jiang Yuan collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep fully clothed. Before drifting off, he was still thinking about how to quickly recover his energy.

Further ahead lies the location of the treasure, which may very well conceal immense danger!

Without sufficient and full energy, one should not easily take the first step.
