Lu Ran curiously looked at Nanami.
He asked, "How do you know so much about this place?"
Nanami pointed to the faintly visible ocean outside the city.
She said, "On the other side is Japan, one of the coastal areas closest to Japan. The place where you once killed Japanese infiltrators and obtained the Carp Spirit is also one of those areas."
Only then did Lu Ran remember that it was also by the seaside that he dealt with those Yin Yang Masters who infiltrated Longxia.
It's just that it wasn't here.
That's quite normal.
Before the world became data-driven, Longxia, due to its geography, had multiple coastal areas that were the closest to Japan.
And now.
With the world data-driven, the global area expanded, and the geography changed significantly.
"Did you also know about those Yin Yang Masters infiltrating Longxia?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
"Of course I knew. I was the one who sent them to infiltrate Longxia to kill you," Nanami nodded and said.
Poof~
Lu Ran had thought about this possibility, but he didn't expect Nanami to be so straightforward!
"You're quite honest," Lu Ran said, half laughing, half crying.
"In front of you, I dare not lie. Besides, my thoughts are connected to Yamata no Orochi. My ideas can't be hidden from you. Yamata no Orochi watches me, strictly executing your orders," Nanami said honestly.
That's reassuring.
This also means that Nanami doesn't dare lie to Lu Ran at all.
Even if she tried to lie, Yamata no Orochi would discover it immediately and inform Lu Ran.
This means that since Yamata no Orochi was captured, it has never warned Lu Ran about Nanami lying to him.
Regardless, Nanami's current awareness makes Lu Ran quite satisfied.
"Yamata no Orochi is just one part. With you around, Japan will eventually disappear. You Chinese have a saying: a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost. I don't want to die; I want to live," Nanami continued.
Lu Ran glanced at Nanami.
He said, "It's not certain whether you'll be killed, but your current performance is not bad. Keep it up."
The group continued talking as they left the Main City.
Directly heading towards the sea through the wild.
This area falls within the Celestial Domain range and is the Main City closest to the sea and the so-called Chaotic Domain.
Before long, they reached the seaside.
Looking at the vast ocean before them, Qin Wuyao was extremely excited, her eyes constantly scanning, not even knowing where to look.
There were also some Professionals at the seaside leveling up in the wild.
But none dared venture deep into the sea.
After all, the ocean is extremely dangerous, monster slaying efficiency is low, and there's no real need to go in.
Lu Ran and the others passed by these Professionals who just glanced at them and then ignored them.
They continued to grind on some amphibious monsters by the seaside.
Although these monsters were amphibious, they were slow, making them easy to kill with high efficiency, easily taken out with skills from a distance.
It's a common method of monster grinding used in coastal areas.
It's no wonder so many people are at the seaside.
Though the sea is extremely dangerous, on the shore, there's nothing dangerous at all.
Since Song Chao arrived here, he was diligent, constantly adjusting his position according to his skills.
Soon enough.
Song Chao pointed to a coastal hill extending outwards and said, "That's the direction. From here into the sea is the Chaotic Domain; the materials you're looking for are inside, but the exact method of obtaining them is unclear. But it doesn't matter; I know the exact coordinate location and have shared it with you. We'll check it out and know then."
Lu Ran was quite pleased with Song Chao's efficiency.
He nodded.
The group continued walking forward.
Climbed over the extending hill.
Standing high up, it was clear to see.
The hill seemed like a stick, extending from the seaside into the sea.
Of course, although it looked like a stick, it's actually a peninsula with a narrow, long shape, and quite a large area.
Some buildings obviously meant for human habitation could be seen.
They weren't Main Cities planned after the world data transformation but were built by human Professionals.
So, there's no Teleportation Array.
Lu Ran and the others did not stop at these human gathering places.
Instead, they hurried straight to the seaside.
"Actually, if it were convenient, we could just fly over, find the materials, but we're not in a hurry. Let's see the situation first. If there's no way to go out to sea together, I can just take Song Chao and Sillor," Lu Ran pondered aloud.
If that's the case, just flying over would do.
Both Sillor and Lu Ran could take Song Chao flying.
This guy can't be left behind; he's a compass in seeking materials.
But doing that means Qin Wuyao won't get to see the world.
Moreover, leaving Qin Wuyao here doesn't sit right with Lu Ran.
"There shouldn't be any other way. Human Professionals don't dare tread into sea areas; it's extremely dangerous and pointless to enter," Nanami mused.
Japan, by the sea, is abundant.
Nanami grew up by the seaside, so she's quite familiar with the characteristics of sea areas, or rather, the Forbidden Sea.
But this time.
Nanami miscalculated.
At the end of the peninsula, there was actually a dock?
And by the looks of it, this dock was newly built.
Some construction-style Professionals were lingering around.
Meanwhile, Lu Ran spotted a ship!
A sizable one that seemed to have plenty of features and attack capabilities!
Of course, this ship was also new.
Quite a few Professionals were bustling about.
Lu Ran looked on in amazement.
"What are these people up to? Building a ship? Are they heading out to sea?" Lu Ran wondered aloud.
"It shouldn't be, unless they have a specific mission to complete. Otherwise, there's no need to go into the sea, and ahead lies the Chaotic Domain, an undeveloped area that's too risky." Nanami also wondered.
Lu Ran's group went directly to investigate.
At the dock, some overseers were directing workers to load equipment onto the ship.
Lu Ran curiously approached an overseer.
Asked, "Hey, what's the ship for? Heading out to sea?"
The overseer glanced at Lu Ran and the others.
Casually replied, "Obviously, if it isn't going out to sea, what's it for, a toy?"
The reply was blunt.
But not unfairly so.
Then.
The overseer continued, "You guys are from out of town, right?"
Lu Ran nodded, "Yeah, we're just here to hang out by the sea."
"Well, hanging out is fine, but heading out to sea, I advise against it. The reward for those going on this trip is significant, but it's unquestionably dangerous, a near-certain death with low odds of returning," the overseer remarked bluntly.
Oh?
Lu Ran's eyes lit up instead, asking, "Really going out to sea?"
"Yes, really going out to sea. What, you really dare to go?" the overseer looked at Lu Ran with a skeptical eye.
"Just going to play, why not? How do we register?" Lu Ran chuckled, not saying much more.
"Eh, no need to register, if you want to go, just gather here in three hours and board the ship. Someone will guide you on what to do once onboard," the overseer advised offhandedly, seeing Lu Ran's group was persistent, gave up on dissuading them, telling them when the ship will set sail.
If you want to risk it, it's your choice.
Fortune favors the brave!
It's just a pity.
The girls around Lu Ran, each beautiful and lively, heading out to take such risks would be a waste.
