The male supporting character was actually myself.

Deepsea Star also has mechs, but they are the trump cards of various forces and will not be used easily.

After all, this thing is like burning money once it's turned on.

Without major battles, no one would dare to drive a mech around the streets.

Therefore, although it attracted the attention of many people, they were all curious and afraid and dared not go forward to disturb Jiang Chen.

He was happy to have some peace and quiet, and used the communication headset to direct: "Let's go buy tickets for the most bustling western route. I've placed a tracking device on Lin Fan, he can't escape my grasp!"

"Alright!" Tang Xiaoqi brandished the dagger with full confidence.

Just thinking about the terror that big liar felt when he saw me chasing after him in my mech makes me feel incredibly satisfied!

With the plot guiding him, Jiang Chen didn't need to find any advanced equipment to explore black holes or anything like that.

He had only two requirements: first, it had to be big enough; second, it had to be fast!

With his financial power, Jiang Chen successfully chartered a cruise ship within ten minutes and headed straight for the western route.

After sailing on the vast ocean for a week, the main system suddenly issued a mission.

[Mission: Rescue Lin Fan and personally help him clear obstacles. Reward: 5 one-time-use A-grade items; 5 points]

"Huh? The protagonist is in danger?" As soon as Xiaobai heard the mission announcement, he immediately perked up. "Host, quickly tell the captain to stop!"

Oh no, I mean drive slower.

We'll wait until the protagonist is seriously injured and about to die before we go over there, hehe, and after completing the mission, we'll throw him into the sea.

"We don't even need to lift a finger; wouldn't it be great if the protagonist just got their game over?"

Jiang Chen, who was fishing on the deck, glanced at it through his sunglasses and said, "Little White, you've changed a bit too quickly."

It turned into a black-hearted cat so quickly.

The idea is good, but it's too naive. You're oversimplifying the protagonist's plot armor; how could the protagonist die so easily?

So let's keep moving forward at this pace, and we still need to do the tasks diligently and actively.

Otherwise, given Lin Fan's critical condition, he wouldn't be able to wait that long, and the script would arrange for him to be rescued in another way.

"Wouldn't that mean we'd miss out on a great opportunity to complete quests?"

"Oh." Xiao Bai scratched his ear, feeling like he was still just coasting along, eating and drinking his way to victory. Then, thinking about it, he couldn't help but mutter, "Speaking of which, this lousy protagonist is really weak..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's why we cannon fodder supporting characters are needed to make things stand out."

Don't forget that he's a thief who steals other people's destinies.

The protagonist in the original story who succeeded through his own hard work is not him at all!

Without that kind of ability, one can only resort to opportunism.

After sailing along the course for more than two hours, the captain suddenly shouted excitedly over the loudspeaker: "Boss Xia, we've hit the jackpot!"

There's an open black hole ahead!

I've scouted it out; the space down there is enormous, there's definitely treasure! Looks like two ships have already gone down; would you like to go check it out?

Jiang Chen put away his fishing rod and called to Xiao Bai, "Let's go do a quest!"

It was sunset, and part of the orange sun sank into the sea, turning the surface red.

The rippling blue waves and the slightly damp sea breeze made people feel comfortable and relaxed.

It was the first time Tang Xiaoqi had ever seen the ocean. The child, who lived in the desert, had never imagined that there could be so much water in the world! So even after watching for a week, he still felt that he couldn't get enough.

At this moment, she was neatly groomed, and her short hair, fair skin, and black combat uniform made her look very cool.

Upon hearing the call, Tang Xiaoqi ran towards the ghost face, activated his mecha, and prepared to enter the black hole.

The captain had already prepared a large ship for the wealthy customer, and the mecha, though not large, could fit inside.

Upon arrival at the destination, a dilapidated large ship was seen moored in the distance; not far away was a small luxury cruise ship equipped with numerous advanced weapons.

To their right, the sea surface rotates counter-clockwise, forming a giant funnel shape. At the very center is a massive black hole, like some monster opening its gaping maw, trying to swallow everything whole!

Chapter 8 The Facehugger in the Black Hole

"Don't be afraid, Boss Xia, we are all very experienced!" There were five people in the group, all of them dark-skinned and burly natives.

Perhaps due to environmental factors, their heads resemble fish somewhat, with large, bulging eyes; they have gills behind their ears that allow them to breathe freely in the water; and their hands and feet develop a transparent web when they touch the water, making them very agile in the water.

"We can just go into this black hole with the current. The process might make us feel a little dizzy, but we will try our best to keep the boat steady and slow it down."

"Getting up here will be a bit difficult; we'll have to go against the current. Your mech will have to help out, otherwise it's too heavy, and the five of us might have a hard time."

The guide gave us a heads-up as we prepared to board the large ship.

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

The group and the mecha then boarded the ship, and the guide directed the other four people to go into the water and push the ship forward.

As soon as they approached the whirlpool, the large ship was involuntarily drawn in. Fortunately, the five of them were experienced, and with the added weight of the mechs, the ship steadily and slowly followed the whirlpool downwards!

"Wow... amazing!" Tang Xiaoqi sat in the mecha, looking up at the scene before him, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter this sentence.

Jiang Chen also found it quite amazing.

The whirlpool on the surface of the sea is funnel-shaped; once inside the whirlpool, you'll find that the part below the water is an even larger inverted funnel shape! The slowly rotating seawater is divided into layers, somewhat like terraced fields in the water.

The large boat, controlled by four people, continued to drift downstream with the current.

"Amazing structure." Jiang Chen turned on his flashlight, illuminating the dark underwater world.

The layers of blue seawater became crystal clear when illuminated by the light, and even the fish in the distance could be seen clearly!

"Boss Xia, you're really lucky to be in a black hole for the first time." The guide chuckled, splashing water with his hand. "Such a huge black hole, even the Treasure Sea only produces a few such things a year. There must be a lot of stuff down there!"

However, such large black holes are prone to containing strange and unusual things, so Boss Xia must remember that nothing is more precious than life.

If things look bad, we need to run away immediately; it's not worth risking our lives here.

“Okay…” Jiang Chen had just replied when he suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the sound of the flowing sea!

The guide glanced down and could only vaguely see the lights flickering; he had no idea what was going on.

"This is not good!" Even in the water, the experienced men could still draw their guns.

Jiang Chen had seen this kind of gun on the spaceship, but he didn't know how it worked. It could shoot out something like a laser to kill the target, and it was a fairly common weapon with good lethality.

They went faster as they went down, and soon the people below spotted them.

"Get out of here! Don't come down!" A girl standing on a strangely shaped rock more than two meters high shouted, waving a light source. "It's too dangerous here!"

With just a glance, Jiang Chen easily identified it.

That was Xiao Lianxue, a genius girl from the Xiao family, one of the main star's harem members.

In the story, it was here that she "bumped into" the protagonist, Lin Fan.

After eliminating all the threats, the cannon fodder supporting characters, who acted as tools, gathered in front of a huge stone gate.

Lin Fan successfully gained the recognition of the inheritance by showing off, opened the stone gate to obtain the ship girl, and his majestic appearance made Xiao Lianxue secretly fall in love with him, laying the groundwork for their future flirtatious relationship.

At this point, she was clearly not yet affected by the protagonist's halo, and her love-obsessed personality had not yet emerged.

Fearing the people above wouldn't believe her, Xiao Lianxue quickly moved the light source to illuminate the groups of strange, writhing creatures on the ground, shouting, "These things have already killed so many of us! Please don't..."

Before the words were finished, a strange creature the size of a washbasin with many hairy, long claws suddenly jumped up and almost leaped onto the rock.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen instinctively drew his gun and fired, his swift action leaving the other planet's inhabitants speechless.

"No..." Xiao Lianxue hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was too late.

The strange creatures that had been hit and shattered into three or four pieces were trembling incessantly. After a few seconds, they each got up and became new individuals, baring their teeth and claws and moving even faster!

Xiao Lianxue's voice was filled with despair, "I really didn't lie to you!"

There weren't many of these monsters at first, but as we fought them, they multiplied and multiplied, and even musket fire couldn't kill them.

Their secretions are highly corrosive; anyone bitten will either die or be maimed.

You'd better leave while there's still time!

If you have the chance... please pass a message to the Xiao family on the main star, and tell them that I...

The thought that he was just taking a break from his training to have some fun, only to end up dying here, was unbearable.

Even the genius girl Xiao Lianxue was filled with regret and almost cried.

She was only seventeen years old, in the prime of her youth, the pride of her family and the apple of her parents' eye. It was truly unbearable for her to die here silently!

“Although I’ve never seen this thing before, I can definitely kill it as long as it’s alive.” During the brief exchange, Jiang Chen’s boat had already approached the lowest stone ground. “After you moor your boat here, guard it well and try to keep a distance from other boats.”

The hairy monsters were drawn to them and wouldn't notice this side for the time being.

Xiaoqi, wait for my instructions. Be ready to retreat at any time if the situation becomes unfavorable.

Give me the knife.

After giving a brief order, he took the long sword from the mech and jumped to the ground amidst Xiaobai's screams.

"Host, it's too dangerous!" It was so scared that its fur turned even whiter. It jumped up and lay on Jiang Chen's head, hugging him tightly and not daring to let go. "I need to stay away from those monsters, waaaah... Let's let the protagonist fend for himself, can we just not do this mission?"

I'm so scared, meow...

Xiao Lianxue and her three remaining followers were extremely nervous.

They had thought someone could deliver a message to the family for them, but who knew this guy would actually court death!

If it were really that easy to deal with, would our well-equipped group have been forced into this situation?

Judging from the mecha he was carrying, it was only the most basic model, which means his strength was very average. How could he be so arrogant?

"Little Bai, the protagonist Xia Jiangchen in the original story fought his way through." Jiangchen swung his long sword a few times, producing a slight whistling sound. "If he could do it, so can I!"

The little white kitten curled up into a ball, trembling all over, lying in its nest, not even having the courage to look at those monsters.

At the same time, shouts and screams came from a distance, clearly from the main characters and the people on the dilapidated ship who had disembarked earlier than Xiao Lianxue and the others.

"Squeak!" A hairy-legged monster on the edge spotted Jiang Chen approaching and jumped up to pounce on him.

He noticed that the monster's target was his handsome face, probably belonging to the facehugger type.

"Shh!"
