I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

W wrinkled her delicate nose, tossed a bottle of soda at Bai Chen, popped one open for herself, took a sip, and crossed her legs, saying:

"Only old guys like that lousy tea. I like soda. Soda is what young people drink! If you want to coax me next time, prepare some soda. Oh, and it has to be ice-cold. I won't drink it if it's not ice-cold."

043 I said I'm your little lover~

W, carrying an iced cola, spread her arms and leaned back on the sofa, her posture anything but ladylike.

She was never exactly a well-behaved girl.

"By the way, I've used up all the money you gave me."

W casually tossed a list onto the coffee table: "Bought a decent Sarkazor, bought a bunch of new stuff for my guys, and some medicine."

She shrugged nonchalantly, "It's all gone in a flash. Money is a very useful thing."

Bai Chen showed no reaction whatsoever, making no attempt to retrieve the list.

"Don't you even look at what I bought?"

"Need not."

"Oh, what a rich guy."

W's tone became even more vicious, and he said with a sneer, "Sooner or later, he'll be swindled out of all his money by a woman."

"It sounds like this is actually spending money in the right place."

Bai Chen held the can of soda, a smile spreading across his face.

"Tsk~ How about you give me all your money? Rather than being swindled out of everything by another woman, you might as well give it to me to spend. Oh, no, I should put it more nicely, let's call it supporting my career."

W shook her small feet, which were encased in the new sneakers, and her attitude worsened. She lowered her gaze slightly and looked at the newly bought sneakers. "Oh~ these are also new sneakers, a collaboration model. I spent a lot of money in one go."

"The style is nice."

Bai Chen simply nodded slightly.

"Hey! Can't you at least show some appreciation? Tell me why I'm wasting money on these things?"

W took another swig of cola.

"I really like your ability to spend money?"

Bai Chen's smile deepened. He didn't think W had wasted the money at all; when he gave her the money, he told her not to come back if she didn't spend it all.

He needs to find a way to spend the money printed by the printing press; otherwise, it's just a pile of waste paper.

W, who is familiar with the black market, is well-suited for this task of spending money.

W slightly toned down the manic expression on his face, turned his head to the side, and said casually:

"A large batch of weapons, outside the city, will be picked up by the landship as it sails out; a batch of discarded goods from Ursus."

"Oh."

Bai Chen had an indifferent expression on his face.

"Can't you make any other expressions?"

W narrowed his golden-orange eyes, "For example, someone might ask me with a surprised look where I bought the item, and whether I'll actually be able to receive it."

"I believe you."

Bai Chen took a sip of the soda she gave him.

"Tsk~ He's the kind of guy who'll die at the hands of a woman sooner or later."

W's slightly softened tone turned harsh again, "By the way, I'm out of money. Can someone with money give me some more?"

“It’s not a few million or tens of millions of dollars. You can ask Niyan for it. For larger sums, contact the contact number I gave you. It takes some effort to transfer those kinds of money.”

W's expression grew increasingly grim, and he repeatedly sneered at Bai Chen.

During this time, she had become familiar with the people around this lecherous man: a playful big white rabbit and a soft, gentle, pointy-eared Sarkaz.

The relationship between the big white rabbit and this guy is complicated; the pointy-eared Sarkaz seems to be his mistress.

"You're so comfortable letting this weird woman manage your money? Why don't you give me some?"

W curled his lip in disdain, seemingly looking down on Bai Chen's behavior of so easily handing over money to others.

Such an incredibly stupid act would have resulted in him being betrayed countless times and dying many times in Kazdel today... Well, this guy is unlikely to die.

She had never seen such powerful magic, not even in the royal court. Even someone like Ascalon probably wouldn't last a single round against this guy.

Thinking of this, W suddenly felt a nameless anger.

If this guy had fully supported His Highness's ideals and stayed by His Highness's side, perhaps none of this tragedy would have happened.

His Highness will be alright, and Kazdel will not have fallen to this state.

"How much do you want?"

"Several million, ten million!"

W answered almost through gritted teeth.

"Call that number, and she'll make the arrangements for you. Hmm~ In a while, you can also look for Kashina; you should know that someone has boarded the ship."

Bai Chen's tone was completely calm and without any ripples.

A few million, ten million... how much is that? When he graduated, the first phase of the construction project he worked on was worth over a billion.

Back then he didn't have any money, but now he's printed so much money he doesn't know what to do with it.

"An Ursus history teacher? Ha~ You're getting better and better at making things worse."

W gave a cold laugh. "Oh, I called the number you gave me. The person who answered claimed to be some kind of noble maid, and then the call was transferred to someone who called herself a noble lady from the Early Dew family."

A playful look suddenly appeared on her face, and her tone revealed her madness with a hint of amusement, "I told her I'm your new mistress, and I'm short of money right now, so she should hurry up and give me the money. Otherwise, haha~ I'll do something outrageous."

Bai Chen nodded, stared at W for a while, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

W immediately sat up straight on the sofa as if he'd been stepped on, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow at her and deliberately asked in a low voice, "My little sweetheart~ what did Zao Lu say to you?"

W adopted a fierce and menacing expression, and said through gritted teeth:

"She said 50 Lungmen Dollars isn't even enough to buy a piano, so there's no need to look for her. Just look for that pointy-eared Sarkaz."

She even asked me how my thing was, whether it was really great. She said she's having her coming-of-age ceremony soon and is waiting for me to come back for the party. Later, we'll party together, and we'll all have soaring high together.

She took a deep breath and sneered repeatedly, "Hey! Did you turn her brain into mush a long time ago? So much so that her head is all white mush?"

"Do not."

Bai Chen smiled and shook his head. "I just made her ordinary, repetitive life as a noble lady more interesting."

"Heh~"

W responded with a disdainful sneer.

The two talked for a while, and the topic soon turned to the Sarkaz and Kazdel.

"Speaking of which, Miss W, would you be interested in going out with me to do something small?"

"what?"

"Go and get some things that others are unwilling to sell."

Bai Chen's smile faded. "I'll need the help of your mercenaries."

W narrowed his orange-red eyes, a hint of wariness creeping into his expression. "You can't buy that with all that money? If there's anything, just solve it with money."

"It's possible, but the problem is that it would also require someone to steal it. The land-based ship is about to leave port, and we don't have that much time to waste."

"Where to go, what to take, and also, my mercenaries and I are paid for any extra work. Sarkaz mercenaries don't work for free."

W crossed her hands and looked at Bai Chen with a calm expression.

"The National Library in the Mobile City contains documents and books by Ursus scholars studying the history of Kazdel and Sarkaz."

Bai Chen put down his soda and met W's gaze, saying, "The Sarkaz also need the history of the Sarkaz."

044 W is definitely a beautiful girl~

Bai Chen's decision to take W to loot the national library in this mobile city was entirely impulsive.

The immortal little black snake even bears the main responsibility for this.

Otherwise, someone like Bai Chen, who has been sleeping soundly in the humanities for so long, might not even remember that he went to loot the Sarkaz and Kazdel documents.

During the boastful conversation just now, the little black snake kept bragging about the power of Ursus.

They boast that Ursus is a great nation with a history of over a thousand years, and that the cultural heritage of Ursus has never been interrupted during this time. Even after a thousand years, the great Ursus remains strong and is still the most powerful nation on this land.

So powerful that even now, in its confusion and bewilderment, it can still deliver a devastating blow to any country on this land.

This boast was so loud and clear that it was very annoying to listen to, but Bai Chen just couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Because this seems to be the objective reality on this land full of beautiful girls.

Ursus remains powerful.

Even with his poor knowledge of history, he couldn't recall whether there had ever been a nation in Earth's history that, after thousands of years, hadn't completely corrupted and was still able to easily defeat most other nations.

That's not important. What's important is that the little black snake's words reminded him of the role of national and ethnic history.

He felt this thing was perfect for winning people's hearts!

For him right now, history and culture are more practical than things like the Demon King, Theresa, or Theresis. He needs some sense of identity to reunite the Sarkaz.

It's such a waste that Sarkaz are so powerful, and so many Sarkaz are scattered all over the place, only to do dirty work for such a small amount of money every day.

Wouldn't it be better to work with him on big projects and big undertakings?

If he gets a bite of meat, his brothers get a sip of soup.

Bai Chen pulled W into the carriage, and they drove away from the landship. They went to scout the location first, and once they had confirmed the situation, they would call the Sarkaz brothers out to work.

"Documents about the Sarkaz and Kazdel?"

W crossed his arms. "What do you need those things for?"

"history."

Bai Chen hesitated for a moment, then remembered what his teachers had said, and said with a mysterious and proud expression: "Without history, there is no future. The Sarkaz need their own history. Even if it may be full of sorrow."
