Chapter 46: Setting Sail

Dizzy.....

Upon waking again, Lu Ming had already returned to the manor, his clothes had been changed, in a haze, he saw two figures standing by the bed.

"Family Head..." Chang Qinglan picked up the water cup beside the table, filled it, but not a drop spilled: "You've slept for a while, have some water first."

Lu Ming rubbed his eyes and took the water cup.

【Or a tragic experience, the girl sees her own shadow…】

【Longing for the boy who emerged from tragedy, wanting to protect him forever, just keep protecting…】

【But, gradually, it became the same…】

【Knowing the meaning of staying together for life, knowing that feeling called 'love'】

【"Since forever protecting, then the one beside also..."】

【"Family Head already..., only... beside him."】

【Character: Chang Qinglan】

【Favorability: 100 (maximum)】

Favorability reached 100%, Lu Ming drank the water in the cup, his peripheral vision watching Chang Qinglan.

He kept staring, but his face remained calm.

【Character: Chang Qinglan】

【Survival Index: 89】

……………

【Player: Lu Ming】

【Survival Index: 52】

Lu Ming discovered that Chang Qinglan's survival index, together with..., also rose; he originally thought his own survival index would only decrease, but it would increase, and now he sees...

His gaze, the barrage still rolling.

【Seems to have discovered S Player's weakness (evil laugh. jpg)】

【S Player's drunken video, privately given.】

【One gulp down, one gulp down!】

【Don't say more, later home will close the livestream...】

【........】

Lu Ming saw the girl behind Chang Qinglan, her eyes red, as if she had just cried, yet she still pretended to be fine.

Chang Qinglan had just explained, the girl already spoke first: "I know I was wrong, Mu be good, Mu apologize..."

Mu lowered his head, looking like he was sobbing: "... Hope you... drive Mu away..."

Lu Ming glanced at Chang Qinglan, quickly understanding what had happened to his faint.

"Mu will eat plain food, Mu will pour tea and water, do housework..." Mu continued speaking, however, Lu Ming's gaze shifted away.

Although knowing, the child saying that matter is still early, but Chang Qinglan has no other way, hoping Mu can understand his situation, also hoping the Family Head can accept Mu.

"Wait a while first." Lu Ming said.

Mu nodded, but his face showed no happiness, as if something weighed on his eyes.

Lu Ming didn't really like the child, but using the increase in Chang Qinglan's favorability also gave him an idea; just let him stay at the manor.

Chang Qinglan appeared very happy, took Mu to change into a new set of clothes; perhaps the size differed, but Chang Qinglan's clothes on Mu unexpectedly still fit fairly well.

The most regrettable thing for Lu Ming was that he actually wasted an evening; originally he wanted to take advantage of the sea to look at some precautions.

【Instance: Sea Bulwark】

【Instance: Stage 4】

【This instance's fourth, weather clear, no clouds for thousands of miles, sea surface calm and windless, suitable for sailing; please players go see more sea?】

Lu Ming's vehicle at the port, nearest to the coastal mouth, could clearly smell the sea's fishy odor; ships were docked at the port, standing tall, ten vessels.

Lu Ming first saw the so-called warships of the world; although he had some mental preparation, there were still some surprises; some warships blocked the sunlight that should have shone on the port; each warship's mortar was neat and uniform.

On Earth, types of warships, Lu Ming had only seen them online; when they truly appeared before his eyes, that majestic momentum made him hold his breath.

"Let go, join the fleet!"

When attention was on the warships, Lu Ming heard petty quarreling sounds, looked toward the source; a person in military uniform was holding up a male student.

"No joke? How could you let Lu Ming's son's ship?!" the person in military uniform shouted sternly.

"Then... let's go see the Family Head; he will surely agree!" Yan Cheng hadn't given up, two li away, everywhere inquiring about the Chang Clan Family Head's movements, also tried to directly go to the manor to find S Player, but even that road segment was inaccessible.

Rumor has it that recently the Chang Clan's fleet is temporarily returning to port; it's said the Chang Clan Family Head personally went to sea to clear out pirates.

This is true; the port gathered a crowd of onlookers; residential buildings near the port also had many people craning their necks, yet they hadn't seen the formation yet.

"The Chang Clan is serious now; looking at the formation, they probably recalled all the fleets on external patrol."

"Just to fight pirates?" the crowd, a youth felt doubtful about the uncle's words.

"Of course it's not that simple," the uncle lowered his voice: "I heard the higher-ups plan to sideline the Chang Clan, and the Chang Clan also plans to outright turn against them!"

"What?!"

"Can it be fake? Don't just look at the warships inside; the Chang Clan also has a few destroyers outside the port!"

Regarding the complex situation of the three families, the most worried and afraid are still the ordinary civilians; war will inevitably affect them; few think the Chang Clan's new Family Head is young and hot-headed.

"Let go."

Still struggling, Yan Cheng heard a familiar voice.

"Family Head!" the person in military uniform immediately saluted Lu Ming, then turned and saluted the little girl beside Lu Ming.

"Go back to your post first." The young girl said calmly.

"S Player, finally we meet again!" After that, Yan Cheng brushed the dust off his pants and gave Lu Ming a bitter smile that said 'it's hard'.

Lu Ming's impression only lasted a short while, and the guys on the street shouted.

"Again..." Chang Qinglan's face flashed a barely detectable killing intent: "Family Head, very doubtful,..."

Seeing the young girl who was almost two heads shorter than himself approach, perhaps sensing the killing intent emanating from her body, Yan Cheng stepped back a few steps, and looked at Lu Ming with a pleading look: "S Player, really no malice..."

Chang Qinglan felt her shoulder sink slightly, turned her head, Lu Ming's hand was resting on her shoulder, she nodded, and stepped back to stand beside Lu Ming.

"Nothing else to do?" Lu Ming asked.

The implication was: No side quests?

Yan Cheng, being slow, quickly understood as well, and replied: "It's hard, I didn't manage it, so I was thinking of finding something to see what I could help with..."

【Alright, another leg-hugger...】

【If you want to join, just say it straight.】

【S Player feels very safe; if so, one would also choose to seek him.】
