Chapter 107: Harvest

Chapter 107 – Harvest

“I’m just too cool! My performance was perfect!”

When Chen Yu arrived back onto the deck, a pleasant feeling coursed through his body.

“Mr. Chen, how many points did you earn for this livestream?” Little Peach asked as she approached Chen Yu while carrying the crystal ball.

Sitting cross-legged on the deck and leaning his back against the railing, Chen Yu raised his wrist and made a few swipes across his watch. He then laughed and said, “Fifty-four points! What a harvest! My subscriber count is continuously increasing.”

“With so many points, we can finally buy a new laptop,” Little Peach said, her eyes glowing with excitement. “Our current laptop’s performance is too poor. It takes too much time to test software.”

“Once I see a laptop available in the Transdimensional Store, I’ll immediately get it for you,” Chen Yu generously declared.

“That’s wonderful! Can you take a look at the store now?”

“Don’t be in such a hurry. We still have unfinished problems to deal with.”

After saying so, Chen Yu stood up with the railings’ support and gazed at the three distant warships.

He was certain that many of the crew members aboard those three warships were looking at him.

“Should we contact them?” Little Peach asked as she stood behind Chen Yu. Raising her hand, she continued, “For your safety, I can help convey any words you wish to say to them.

“If I let you convey my words, you might end up declaring war for me.”

Little Peach: “...”

“Captain, we are receiving a primitive radio signal contact. Should I connect it?”

At this time, the artificial intelligence inside the crystal ball Little Peach held suddenly spoke up.

“Radio signal...”

Chen Yu squinted his eyes at these words. After a moment of thought, he shook his head and said, “Refuse the connection.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Pull out the navigation map and activate Tension Sailing Mode.”

“Yes, Captain.”

As the synthetic voice fell, the crystal ball projected a model of Earth before Chen Yu. After searching for a moment, Chen Yu tapped on a random location on the Pacific Ocean.

“Planning route. Tension Sailing Mode activation complete.”

Brrr...

As the familiar low-frequency roar appeared once more, the deck started vibrating slightly, and the ship’s hull gradually turned toward the Pacific Ocean’s direction.

“Mr. Chen! A boat is coming!” Little Peach said as her mechanical eyes zoomed out. While pointing at the three warships’ direction, she said, “It’s a small speedboat! It’s very fast!”

However, despite looking at where Little Peach pointed at, Chen Yu could only see a vague dot in front of the three warships.

Both sides were simply too far apart from each other. A small speedboat that was only a few meters in length would easily be hidden by the raging tides. Even if his vision had undergone genetic strengthening, it was still difficult for him to clearly see the boat.

“How many people are on board the ship?”

“Three; two men and one woman.”

“Are they armed?”

“No, but the elderly man standing at the forefront is carrying a small box,” Little Peach said as she continued her observation.

“Hmm...”

While Chen Yu was pondering, the island-building ship’s massive frame started accelerating.

After hesitating for three seconds, Chen Yu eventually turned away from the three warships’ direction and walked toward the cabin, saying, “Little Peach, get in the ship. Don’t get carried away by the wind.”

“Are we not waiting for those three people?” Little Peach asked puzzled.

“There’s nothing to wait for. Get in.”

“Oh.”

After entering the ship’s cabin together with Little Peach, Chen Yu shut the cabin door and sat on the ground, silently feeling the ship’s rapid acceleration.

He did not think that there was any need for his present self to make contact with the government right now.

After all, ordinary streamers generally wouldn’t reveal their real faces before they reached 100,000 subscribers. How could someone of his status possibly make his reveal now?

...

“They left. They’re too fast. We can’t catch up.”

Sighing regretfully, the elderly man standing at the front of the speedboat waved his hand in frustration and said, “Let’s return.”

“It would be great if the boat is several times faster,” the young sailor steering the speedboat said.

“Even if we have the speed to catch up to them, we can’t do it. That ship’s Tension Sailing Mode causes the seawater at its stern to lose its tension. If we follow after the ship, we’ll sink to the bottom of the ocean,” the female sailor sitting beside the male sailor explained.

“What a pity. I really wanted to see this strange man with my own eyes.”

While the three people were conversing with each other, the speedboat arrived back in one of the three cruisers’ vicinity. The speedboat was then hauled back onto the cruiser’s deck.

Afterward, the three cruisers promptly entered a combat-ready state as they adjusted their angle and sailed straight toward “Where the Sword Points, All Obstacles Shall Fall Island.”

Meanwhile, a short distance away from the three cruisers, a carrier fleet was also rapidly approaching to provide reinforcements...

...

Whoosh—

Whoosh— Whoosh— Whoosh—

Amidst the howling winds, the island-building ship’s acceleration came to a halt as the ship started sailing steadily in a straight line.

Sensing that the ship’s speed had stabilized, Chen Yu stood up and removed his mask. He then looked at the metal sliding door that led below deck.

Previously, during the livestream, it was inconvenient for him to head downstairs. Now that the livestream was over, he could finally take his time strolling and exploring this industrial ship from the future.

Approaching the door, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pulled the handle on it. However, the door remained motionless.

“Captain, every internal hatch is under ‘Dimwit”s control. Do you wish to open the door?”

“Yes.”

As soon as Chen Yu said so, the metallic door soundlessly slid to a side, revealing a staircase downstairs. At the same time, the lights along the staircase also lit up.

While touring the ship’s interior together with Little Peach, Chen Yu discovered that there was plenty of free space inside the ship.

There were two large dining rooms, one small dining room, two kitchens, three large halls, four small lounges, at least 15 bedrooms that came with personal bathrooms, one medium-sized swimming pool, one gym, and 12 empty rooms of varying sizes...

The island-building ship was basically a low-cost cruise ship.

The only thing missing were decorations and furniture.

“If we combined this ship with the portal...we can use it as a secret base!” Chen Yu was much delighted as he returned to the uppermost cabin.

Initially, he had been considering whether he should recycle this island-building ship for other more useful technology. However, looking at it now, even if he set aside the ship’s ability to build islands, the ship still had plenty of uses.

“Dimwit, according to your previous introduction, you said this ship is capable of diving. How deep can it go exactly?”

“The IAI03 Island-building Ship isn’t a specialized submersible vessel, so it can only dive down to a depth of 1,300 meters.”

“A depth of 1,300 meters... Okay. Once we sail into deep waters, dive down to a depth of roughly 1,000 meters in a moment. At that depth, no satellite would be able to find it.”

“Dive down to 1,000 meters once we enter deep waters. Affirmative. Command has been included in the planning sequence,” the ship’s AI responded mechanically.

...

Jinzhou City, 3.30 PM:

Stepping through the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu arrived back at his room with an empty stomach. Throwing himself onto his bed, he grumbled, “I’m exhausted.”

The livestream today was his longest one yet.

After entering the room, Little Peach shut the door and disconnected the spatial link. She then asked, “Mr. Chen, do you want me to set the island-building ship’s coordinates for Quick Teleport?”

“Mhm. Huh? Since when did you become so sensible?” Vaguely feeling that something was amiss, Chen Yu hurriedly got out of bed and approached the Interstellar Portal. When he saw the location displayed on the portal’s interface, his complexion immediately darkened.

“You set the teleport destination to the ship’s deck. Do you want me to get crushed by seawater as soon as I walk through the portal?”

“Oh!” Realization dawned upon Little Peach. Hurriedly, she adjusted the coordinates and set the teleport destination to be inside the ship’s cabin.

“...I’ve never believed in the movies say robots would one day destroy the human race, but now I believe them.”

“I’m sorry. ???” Little Peach aggrievedly squeezed her cheongsam. She then consciously sat before the study table and started coding, sneaking glances at Chen Yu from time to time...

Chen Yu: “...”

Lying back onto his bed, Chen Yu slid his finger across his watch and entered the Transdimensional Store’s page, starting his most important work of the day.

Purchasing advanced technology!

Combined with the one leftover point he had, he now had a total of 55 points!

He could definitely exchange for relatively good products.
