Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

"Jealous? I don't know what kind of jealousy it is."

“Wei Yanwu of Longmen is a member of the royal family, my nun. Think about it carefully. Which monarch would allow a capable brother to guard such a remote city with his own private army?”

Lotin already had a general understanding of Terra's communication methods and the governance capabilities developed on this basis. The infrastructure difficulties caused by natural disasters resulted in slow information transmission speed, which in turn led to Terra's land-based nations having very weak control over the grassroots level, far inferior to Lotin's hometown.

"If Wei Yanwu's past actions were viewed by a less magnanimous emperor, he would have been punished long ago."

Laurentina, who was playing in the water, immediately understood what Lotin wanted to express. It seems that this monarch of the land people is indeed complex and unpredictable.

"However, since Wei Yanwu has also helped me smooth things over with Jianxi, I should keep my promise."

After careful consideration, Luo Ting realized that Ya's remaining consciousness had been completely appeased by him, and it was now obediently staying in the [Scroll of Mountains and Seas] waiting for the remnant soul of the year to be imprisoned and beaten.

Wouldn't that make a group of people seem a bit redundant?

"The Mountain and Sea Clan. These fanatical followers of the Year Beast, who have been kept in the dark all along, are pawns being played, bandits among bandits."

"It's time for them to leave."

This banditry has plagued the Yumen border for over twenty years. Now that they need to leave, we might as well do them a favor.

Yan Kingdom is a vast country. Traveling from the water-rich south to the windswept north, even using the gliding technique that Luo Ting can only use under this skin, which relies on manipulating the ground and water, still takes a few days.

However, you can first teleport to the nearest major city with a Rhodes Island office.

"Fool—I mean, Your Highness, how much longer are we going to stay in this dilapidated temple?"

W's back started to ache from sleeping on a stone slab bed without a mattress for several days. The originally dilapidated temple was indeed restored in an instant by Loting, who made it even more extravagant in W's eyes, but the interior and furniture remained empty.

Unlike those two Agorians, she couldn't spend all day in the water, at least she didn't have to suffer like this.

However, after the formal signing of the alliance, the people of Yan will be responsible for tidying up the interior here.

"Mercenaries who have lived on the edge of a knife have also begun to have requirements for the beds they sleep in."

"Are they already starting to slack off?"

Laurentina, who was lying on the shore, looked at W meaningfully.

W thought about it again and realized that it was true. In Kazdel, she was able to stay in a private lounge. Although she was locked up in Rhodes Island, she was able to sleep on a soft bed. In Lungmen, she even stayed with Lottin in an unused villa introduced by Wei Yanwu.

She hadn't lived that kind of life of sleeping on a tattered rag for a long time. A Sarkaz mercenary was even starting to feel unfamiliar with the smell of gunpowder.

"Now that Kazdel is being rebuilt, I'd like to improve my sleeping conditions. Is that a problem?"

"Can we call it negligence when it comes to reasonable demands? And it's not negligence when it comes to keeping up with the times..."

W blushed, unwilling to admit that she could actually show such a "soft" side.

"Hehe, that depends on how much fun you can bring to him."

Laurentina's eyes turned somewhat menacing, as if she were threatening someone. Laurentina had taught herself Sarkaz while waiting for the Carrion King's triumphant return in Kazdel, out of boredom. While not fluent, it was sufficient for dealing with Sarkaz of W's cultural level.

"Just you wait, you dead shark, I'll make you regret what you've done today."

"If we switched roles, I'd show you what cruelty truly is!"

W thought to himself, "So what if she arrived a little early? And what kind of spokesperson or mouthpiece is she? One day, she'll make that Agorian furious with his impotence."

If the goal is to infuriate the other party with impotence, wouldn't the best way be to appease Luo Ting and gain his greater approval?

But even so, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Thinking about this, W suddenly felt like she was trapped.

"Ha, we have to choose one."

What W herself didn't realize was that she had completely lost interest in thinking about running away.

Since there's no way to escape it, why not take it a little easier? Unconsciously, W's mindset has changed to this.

"Heh, since you're so eager to leave, then pack your things and get ready to go."

Laurentina leaped out of the water; the fabric of the clothes prepared for the Agorians wouldn't make their wet clothes too embarrassing.

"Where to go?"

"Would you know the location if I told you?"

"Let's go to Shangshu first; that lousy chess player plays his games there."

Luo Ting had previously stated that he would not let the matter of "Wang's" actions pass by so easily.

"Crush his pieces one by one, dismantle his chessboard."

"Perhaps this terrible chess player really thinks I'd play chess with him."

Lotin temporarily deactivated the gigantification, because the base size of this skin was already larger, so its normal size was 8 to 10 meters. The weight difference caused by Laurentina and Skadi sitting on either side no longer affected its gait.

Chapter 191: Young Men Should Not Enter Shangshu

After a few days of rest, Loting used [Teleport] to teleport to the Rhodes Island office in Shangshu.

Rhodes Island's office in Shangshu was really just a very small office. Rhodes Island didn't have much business there, so this teleportation caused the ceiling to collapse due to the pressure.

The Rhodes Island field operative on duty was already terrified by the strange tales circulating in Shangshu recently. When he saw such a huge bronze sculpture suddenly appear in his office, he was genuinely startled.

"It seems to be true! They say some supernatural artifacts have come to life and are causing trouble and injuring people, with spearheads, sword tips, and now even a bronze soldier!"

This Rhodes Island field operator is a local, so he is quite familiar with the strange and interesting stories of various places in Shangshu.

"This is terrible. We need to find a Taoist master to take a look. This is too eerie."

A local employee, working the night shift alone, was eating hot pot bought from a chain store in a nearby shopping mall, humming a tune while watching a popular Yan Kingdom TV series, when he never expected that a strange bronze soldier would suddenly appear in his small office.

Then the unfinished hot pot was contaminated by stones falling from the ceiling.

Wait, are the Agor and Sarkaz who appeared with him alive?

Luo Ting looked up awkwardly at the ceiling he had broken, then made a trampling motion to repair it as if it were new, even making the room feel much taller.

"I apologize for any inconvenience caused."

While killing those unusual enemies in the painted world, Loting and his nuns and hunters obtained many gold items similar to ingots, a type of item that only appeared in Yan Kingdom.

Since the original storyline did not mention whether gold coins circulated in Yan Kingdom, Luo Ting was also unsure whether they could be directly circulated.

However, it's not a big problem. Even though the shape is wrong, it is still a genuine pure gold product, and its value is hard to shake. It is enough to serve as a small apology to the innocent Rhodes Island duty officer.

After saying that, Luo Ting tore open the door, smashed open the wall, and left the small office. Before leaving, Luo Ting casually repaired the wall.

That gold ingot is more than enough to repair the door and buy another serving of maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot).

For Luo Ting, this was the most embarrassing teleportation ever, even more so than the one that caused Wei Yanwu's dragon bubbles to explode all over the place.

However, this Rhodes Island field operator was hesitant to use the remnant of the paranormal event and only used it much later, which is another matter.

Yingfeng Road.

The scene on the street felt strangely familiar to Luo Ting. The antique style of the buildings, combined with the highly modernized infrastructure, reminded him of the tourist streets he had visited before his time travel.

Given the current domestic environment in Yan, this place might actually be considered a tourist attraction.

"The lousy chess player's plan here is to bring the three sisters of the Sui family together at Zhejiang Peak in Shangshu."

"Preventing the sisters from getting together can certainly prevent problems before they arise, but doing so would be too easy on that lousy chess player."

"Only by failing at the last minute can he truly experience the bitterness of resentment."

After all, for Luo Ting now, dealing with three incarnations of the year is not as simple as crushing a small snake in a field.

Although Ya wasn't at its peak at the time, it was still nourished by the "Scroll of Mountains and Seas," making it incomparable to its dying state in the original story. Yet, even in this state, Ya couldn't exchange more than a few blows with the gigantic Luo Ting.

If the true form of Ya is like this, what is the mere incarnation of the year?

Even though Luo Ting was deliberately concealing his aura, he was still "flaunting himself in public." However, most passersby seemed to only regard him as a source stone construct of a certain civil engineering master for the time being.

"As for the Ministry of Rites that is active here, they are not a threat. They are actually peace-loving people who lack a sense of crisis when it comes to giant beasts. These people are probably eager to make contact with me first."

Therefore, Luo Ting could even go up the mountain to wait first. However, judging from the state of the city, his plan had not yet begun, so Luo Ting did not need to worry or be in a hurry. It was not a bad idea to go and meet with the people from the Ministry of Rites first.

"What the heck? I don't remember ever making a statue of Gonggong?"

The bubbling casserole releases a highly stimulating aroma, and the fragrance of oil spreads as the broth boils. The spicy, numbing, and savory flavor is the highest praise for the local cuisine of Sichuan.

The one enjoying this delicacy was a woman with red arms, wearing a white lab coat, but underneath she was dressed in a red corset and work shorts, as if she were working in a high-temperature metallurgical environment.

His expression was languid, yet his handsome features were undeniable. He casually held the folding fan in his hand, giving him a very relaxed air.

Her attention was no longer on the old, chewy pieces of scythe-armed beast meat in the pot, but rather on the bronze soldier that stood out from the crowd. She had made a batch of metal soldiers before for filming, but she had never actually made a metal soldier like Gonggong.

The details of this statue are quite intricate, and the overall effect is lifelike. It must have been made by a famous general. However, the object moves on its own. In her opinion, could it be that her elder sister's things have an influence?

So she stood up and waved at Loting, hoping to get his attention.

"Silly boy—I mean, Your Highness, who is that woman?"

W also realized that although the officials were terrified of Luo Ting, the younger generation of Yan people were not so sensitive to him.

"Could this also be an official from the Yan Kingdom?"

W thought, "Who could be some high-ranking official or nobleman eating at such a shabby little street-side shop?"

"To eat this, you have to go to a small, well-established street-side shop to be a true connoisseur."

Before he traveled through time, Luo Ting had only occasionally indulged in hot pot and skewers at restaurants near his community.

"However, these are not officials from the Yan Kingdom."

He's just a street urchin; calling him a bad movie director is just a fig leaf. But there's nothing wrong with such a carefree life.

"Nautilus, who is that?"

Skadi looked at Lotin with concern. Since entering Yan Kingdom, no one had greeted Lotin so kindly and warmly except for the woman in front of her who was eating some kind of stew.

"Sui Jia Lao Jiu, an idle and unemployed vagrant."

Lotin answered Skadi calmly, noting that he had been paying extra attention to Skadi's mental state lately.

After all, once these matters in Yan Country are resolved, the next step will be to face the large group directly, and he doesn't want Skadi to have too much trouble then.

"Like that extraordinary painter, he probably knows me too."

"It looks just like it. Isn't this a statue of Gonggong? There aren't many craftsmen left who can still sculpt this."

"Ladies, I wonder who was behind activating this terracotta warrior?"

She was quite interested in these technologies, and even tried to hack into Lungmen's central database to gain knowledge of modern Originium industry technology.

"Or perhaps, it was this ghost lady who floats around who possessed him and did this?"

Like Xi, she can see Theresa in her spirit form.

"Sui family's ninth son, I mean, is there any possibility, is there any possibility?"

"Am I 'Gonggong' myself?"

"Didn't your sister tell you?"

It seems that the relationship between these two sworn sisters is not very harmonious. However, in Luo Ting's opinion, the main responsibility should lie with the ninth sister of the Sui family, "Nian".

Otherwise, Xi wouldn't have seen Luo Ting under the default skin and assumed that he was someone Nian had made to tease her.

"That little girl still won't talk to me. Well, I've chased her all the way to my older sister's place."

Nian was not surprised that the person in front of him was "Gonggong" himself. This overly playful agent was indifferent to many things to a point of carefree indifference.

She even looked at Loting and laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"If you really come back, won't those old monsters in the court be kept running around like crazy again?"

It seems that, although to varying degrees, most of the Sui family's brothers and sisters are not particularly fond of those people in the imperial court.

"What brings you here, old man? Your temple has long been abandoned."

This was the first time Luo Ting had been called "old man," and it felt rather strange.

"Since the temple is abandoned anyway, why don't you come and play with some trendy things with me? I'll make you some offerings."

He covered his lips slightly with his fan and said mysteriously.

With such an outgoing and rambling manner, who else in the Sui family could be but the ninth son?

Strictly speaking, the beast that was born in the same year as Gonggong was indeed an old acquaintance.

But why would she need to say that herself? This person only has this one hobby: "frequently filming audio-visual products that Rhodes Island operators generally don't like."
