Chapter 1087 - Perfect From All Angles

The waves slapped the wooden boat, rocking it violently. Everyone on the boat stared, shocked, at the giant piece of metal that appeared out of nowhere.

Mag was a little dumbfounded too. The thing that was above water was the submarine that the system showed him a picture of previously. However, compared to the picture, the gigantic thing in front of him, standing at a good 30 meters tall, with its surface glimmering with a high-class metallic gray, was obviously more awe-inspiring.

Its streamlined appearance won all the bulky submersibles of the past hands down. It even felt a little like alien technology.

However, this… appears a little familiar?

“Wow! It’s huge!” Amy exclaimed.

“Boss, how did you bring it over?” Yabemiya exclaimed curiously.

“I borrowed a space magic ring before we came,” Mag replied patronizingly. This wave of showing off was a lack of consideration on his part. He’d better keep a low profile.

Luckily, the submarine caught everyone’s attention, so no one really took note of what Mag said.

Mag felt his pocket become heavy. He reached in and felt a controller the size of a cell phone. The system had sent the operational method into his brain straight away.

“Alright, we can go in now.” Mag pressed a button, and a door appeared on the water-droplet-shaped submarine. A transparent bridge extended from the door over to the wooden boat.

“Off I go!” Amy was the first to jump on the transparent glass bridge, and she quickly ran towards the submarine.

The other women also stepped onto the transparent glass bridge and walked towards the submarine.

This metallic ball looked very high-class. Even its hanging ladder was made of crystals.

Very quickly, only Mag and Ugly Duckling, which was lying on the boat, refusing to move, were left on the wooden boat.

Mag glanced at the glass bridge and put on a calm expression, but his legs were already trembling.

He was already starting to regret it. Why did he have to agree to such an unreasonable request? Wasn’t that akin to pushing himself towards a fire pit?

After taking a look at that glass bridge, and then at the crashing waves below the bridge, he felt as though his legs were filled with lead, refusing to listen to his command.

“Ugly Duckling, you’re so timid, come over quickly, don’t let Father wait for you!” Amy said with disdain as she stood at the door of the submarine with her arms akimbo.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling meowed pitifully. It looked at Mag and still refused to move.

Mag blushed when he heard Amy. He looked at Ugly Duckling, and felt as though he could empathize with it.

No, I cannot let Amy think that I am very timid! Mag told himself. He took in a deep breath, bent down, and picked Ugly Duckling up. After that, he took a step forward onto the glass bridge.

The glass bridge swayed a little, and Mag subconsciously glanced down. Below the glass bridge was the tumultuous waves. He suddenly felt dizzy.

Meanwhile, Ugly Duckling, which was in his arms, was already staring blankly into the sky.

Oh no! Mag exclaimed inside. He quickly closed his eyes and sprinted towards the submarine with Ugly Duckling in his arms.

When it felt about right, Mag opened his eyes again and almost knocked into the women standing at the submarine door. He stopped in time, laughed awkwardly at them, and said, “Let’s all go in, the wind is strong outside.”

After the women turned and walked into the submarine, Mag held the side of the door and panted for a while. Then, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead without anyone noticing before straightening back up, and walked towards the interior of the submarine.

The interior of the submarine was unexpectedly spacious. There were two seats in the cockpit, and other than the six chairs fixed to the floor, there was still some space for activity.

The interior of the submarine was mainly in silver, and the cool lighting gave the entire interior a science-fiction feel to it.

Mag looked around. This had completely matched his fantasy about alien technology when he was in middle school. He could not help but exclaim inside, “System, not bad.”

“If the host likes it, the system can let you have it with a discount of 1 copper coin which includes lifetime maintenance,” the system replied very quickly.

“It’s alright, I’m fine with just renting it,” Mag said with a chuckle. No matter how good this submarine was, he would barely use it 250 times in his lifetime. Why would he spend 25 million on it? He wasn’t a pea-brain.

Once the door of the submarine closed, the silver submarine wall gradually became transparent, even the floor. One could see perfectly from all angles in the submarine with a very wide view.

“Wow! This is great!” Amy exclaimed softly as she leaned over to look out into the sea.

“Impressive! You can actually see everything outside! The view would definitely be better once we go underwater.”

All the women found this even more magical than magic. Now, they saw Mag in a different light. So other than being good at cooking, Boss is actually so impressive when it comes to tinkering with such things.

When the floor suddenly became transparent, Mag’s legs went jelly and he almost fell down. Luckily, he held a chair to steady himself, and sat on it.

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling also let out a sharp cry. It jumped into Amy’s embrace and hid its head in its paws.

“Host, look, this is the system’s personalized design. In the submarine, one can look out into the underwater world perfectly from all angles. The light can shine out 1000 meters into the distance, so it really is the best for underwater exploration and touring. Are you sure you’re not going to consider it?” The system continued to boast.

“That’s such an exaggeration…” Mag rolled his eyes. He looked down carefully at the surging waves underneath him, and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Since he was already in the submarine, there was no turning back. They had to go underwater now.

Besides, Mag was also a little curious about the kind of place the merfolk lived in. Also, what kind of creature was the Nether Shark? To solve these questions, the simplest way was to go underwater and take a look.

“System, go to the border of Lantisde closest to the Nether Sharks. I want to take a look and see what exactly Nether Sharks are,” Mag said inwardly. Immediately, a destination appeared on the control panel—Verell.

Mag turned around to say, “Alright, everyone, return to your seats. We’re getting ready to set off.”

Amy ran over with Ugly Duckling in her arms and sat beside Mag in the co-pilot seat. The safety belt buckled up automatically.

After he was sure that everyone was in their seats, Mag pressed the start button in front.

The submarine swayed a little, and dove right into the water.

…

Verell Town.

Early this morning, the news of the Nether Shark’s invasion quickly spread to Verell. The people living in the town had received orders to pack their things and wait for the order to retreat to Ivo City.

“Dewell, this is great, we can finally go to the capital! Besides, we don’t have to hand the Crescent Fish over to Uncle Bulters. We can have it on the way there.” In a run-down little house, a young lady, Kelly, grabbed Dewell’s hand as she smiled excitedly.

“In the past when the Nether Sharks invaded, we merely went to Bulloch City to hide for a while. Why are we retreating to Ivo City this time? It seems a little abnormal.” Dewell was still puzzled.

Just then, a shrill conch sound blasted from outside the town.
