Chapter 1161

Just as the crowd was still in shock and doubt, the self-proclaimed captain turned his gaze toward Lin Cheng and the others.

"Are you getting on the ship or not? If you are, hurry up — I'm about to set off."

"You—..."

Miss Qianhui seemed about to question the man's identity, but Lin Cheng covered her mouth first and whispered something in her ear along the lines of "you've got too much screen time," reminding her of their purpose.

"We're boarding, of course we're boarding! How do I prove it? Want me to throw this lackey into the sea?"

As he spoke, Lin Cheng's icy gaze flicked toward the two martial artists who had earlier blocked him from boarding; in an instant, a bone-deep chill ran through those two martial artists.

"No need. Your strength far surpasses theirs — let them board."

The captain's last words were directed at those two martial artists, and with that, the captain turned around and boarded the ship himself.

"Yes, Captain." Since the captain had said so, those two martial artists naturally let Lin Cheng's group of three pass.

"Quite sensible."

Lin Cheng said nothing more and led Miss Qianhui and General Ji Xia straight onto the ship.

As for the passengers who had been rooting for them but couldn't board, they now cursed them without the slightest mercy.

Human nature — that's just how it is.

Once aboard, Lin Cheng noticed that this giant ship seemed to be full of martial artists — not only were the passengers martial artists, even the crew were almost all first or second rank martial artists; there wasn't a single ordinary person among them.

This ship is rather interesting.

Passengers who had boarded were quickly led to the rest area by dedicated crew members, and Lin Cheng's group was no exception.

It wasn't long before a second-rank crew member led them to the rest area, telling them about various parts of the ship along the way.

"The whole journey will last two and a half days. During that time, guests may rest in their rooms or roam the ship... except for a few off-limits places, such as the captain's quarters and the bridge — everything else is at your leisure. The giant ship has five decks in total. The first deck is where the crew lives; guests are forbidden from entering so as not to disturb the crew's rest. The second deck is where you guests stay; there will be a crew member on duty at the end of the corridor, so don't worry about not finding someone. The third deck is the dining hall — there's someone there even at night, so you don't need to worry about going hungry. The fourth deck is the entertainment area, with a casino and a song-and-dance theater — the ship's entertainment zone. The fifth deck is not open yet; it's said that Young Master will be holding an arena event, and there should be news tonight."

Though the explanation was very detailed, the crew member's face remained expressionless, and Lin Cheng, bringing up the rear, couldn't detect this.

"By the way, buddy, what's the background of that Young Master?" Upon reaching the second-deck passenger rest area, Lin Cheng asked while swiftly slipping a gold coin into the other's hand, trying to force it on him — but the crew member didn't even look at it and refused outright.

"Young Master is Young Master. He told us to call him Young Master. He's on very close terms with the captain; beyond that, I don't know anything else." Though he didn't take the gold coin, the crew member still told Lin Cheng.
