I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 125 Divine Manifestation
After receiving An Li's transfer, the female commentator smiled and said:

"This is a built-in cash register on the Spirit Ship. It has certain game permissions and, like the player panel, can receive and transfer money."

Upon hearing this, An Li glanced at Cao Yu.

Why are you looking at me like that...? Cao Yu noticed An Li's gaze and felt a little confused.

You don't think I'm trying to steal it, do you?

"What is 'Huanyu Catering'?" Cao Yu asked. "A company? Related to 'Lingjie Shipping'? By the way, what's its name?"

“Three distinguished guests, please just call me Xiaoqing.”

The female commentator, Xiaoqing, laughed:

"Strictly speaking, 'Fantasy Universe Catering' and 'Spirit Realm Shipping' are unrelated. The latter is the manager of the entire Spirit Boat system and a top force in the evolution game, while the former is just a company that rents out Spirit Boat venues to do business with players."

"You can do business like this?" Cao Yu was quite surprised.

"Neither the Spirit Boat nor the Celestial Evolution Train has any other complex functions besides being a means of transportation," Xiaoqing explained. "Since the space is just sitting empty anyway, wouldn't it be better to rent it out for business and generate some extra revenue?"

"Are there many catering companies like this?" An Li asked.

“I’m not too clear about the situation at other nodes. However, the catering business on the Spirit Boat and train at node 09 is basically monopolized by ‘Phantom Universe Catering’,” Xiaoqing replied, while asking, “Would the three guests like to dine at the restaurant inside the Spirit Boat?”

"No need, we've already had dinner," Cao Yu said with a smile, declining.

"Guests, the meals we offer are unlike any other," Xiaoqing began her sales pitch. "Special creatures from various worlds, whether ordinary or extraordinary, are all on our ingredient list. Some of our dishes even possess powerful health benefits, making the dining experience truly 'magical.' Would you three like to give it a try?"

“No need for a meal,” Cao Yu said. “Let’s talk about the Strange Sea. We couldn’t keep staring at those creatures that just flew by?”

"Are all three of you D-rank players?"

Xiaoqing maintained her professional smile, showing no sign of impatience despite the failed sales attempt.
"The creatures in the Sea of ​​Ghosts are diverse and bizarre. The more common ones are creatures born from the various emotions deposited in the Sea of ​​Ghosts and the combined spiritual power, such as those we just saw."

These spiritual beings are born with the ability to 'spread emotional information through physical form'. If one's mental defenses are insufficient, staring at them for too long will result in emotional interference.

However, they are not a significant threat, so the three guests need not worry.

"So, there are some that are more threatening?" Cao Yu asked curiously.

"Yes."

Xiaoqing's tone became more serious:

"The Sea of ​​Ghosts is filled with the emotions, fantasies, dreams, thoughts, consciousness, and spiritual sediments of life forms... In short, it is not surprising that no matter how outrageous the spiritual life forms are, they will be born."

When encountering powerful and aggressive creatures from the mysterious sea, even S-level immortal players must retreat.

However, the three guests need not worry. The route the spirit boat takes is a safe route scouted in advance by 'Spirit Realm Shipping,' and such situations are highly unlikely to occur.

"Basically not?" An Li grasped the key point: "What if we do encounter it?"

“The Sea of ​​Ghosts is vast and boundless; the probability of encountering something like this is astronomical,” Xiaoqing replied. “If we really do encounter it…”

She gently shook her head:
"Only A-level players have the ability to survive in the Sea of ​​Ghosts. If you encounter an unexpected situation, you can only blame your bad luck."

Cao Yu: "..."

Who would have thought that traveling on a spirit boat would involve such risks?
Damn it... is it too late for him to go down now?
"The three guests don't need to worry about this."

Xiaoqing smiled and comforted her:
"As I just said, the probability of encountering an accident is astronomical. If this 'what if' really happens, the emergency escape system on the spirit ship will forcibly open a passage to the real world. At that time, we can escape, the only problem is that the spatial landing point is uncertain."

Just then, the spirit boat suddenly began to rock slightly.

Cao Yu and the other two looked out of the colorful barrier and found that the nearby spiritual tide had become extremely violent, and many creatures were even swept up by the storm and flew around in a chaotic manner.

Some creatures crashed into the colorful barrier of the spirit boat, their forms vanished instantly, and they emerged from the other side of the barrier, swept away by the mental storm and flying into the distance.

The sharp-eyed Cao Yu noticed this.

The colorful barrier outside the spirit boat seems to be some kind of spacetime device?
But why can't we see the subtle distortions in spacetime?
Is it because the device has a more precise interference with spacetime?
Or other reasons?

As he pondered, the mental storm nearby grew stronger and stronger, like an approaching tsunami, causing the spirit boat to shake more and more violently.

Commentator Xiaoqing stood still, steadying herself, her professional smile still on her face.

Seeing this, Cao Yu and the other two recalled what Xiao Qing had just said and realized that this was a normal phenomenon when navigating the Strange Sea, so they did not panic.

Taking the opportunity, Shen Luoyan asked Xiaoqing, "Is the Sea of ​​Ghosts usually this chaotic? Such massive mental storms happen so often?"

Xiaoqing did not answer.

At this moment, the professional smile on her face gradually faded.

Seemingly just realizing what was happening, she blurted out a panicked exclamation:
"Holy crap...!?"

"..."

The exclamation immediately put Cao Yu and his two companions on alert.

What do you mean?
This isn't normal?
"Stay close to me, don't stray."

Cao Yu reminded An Li and Shen Luoyan.

As he spoke, he had already mobilized his spiritual power, preparing to unleash the "Immortal Slaying Curse" to protect himself and his two teammates.

Fortunately, this massive, unpredictable sea storm came and went quickly.

The shaking of the spirit boat gradually subsided from intense to minimal, and soon it stabilized.

But the paleness on the commentator Xiaoqing's face did not fade.

She spoke rapidly: “Three guests, about that storm just now… In short, the colorful barrier outside the spirit ship is a ‘rule protection’ measure guaranteed by ‘Spirit Realm Shipping’. Since the establishment of the spirit ship system at node 09, there has never been a storm that could make the spirit ship shake… Anyway, I need to find out what’s going on first.”

After saying that, she returned the evolution points she had just received to An Li, and then hurriedly went to the spirit boat.

"...So, we just encountered an extremely dangerous crisis in the Mysterious Sea?" After pondering for a few seconds, Shen Luoyan said, "How about we take the Tianyan Train from now on?"

"The fact that the Spirit Boat and the train can coexist proves that their industry competitiveness is at the same level," Cao Yu speculated. "Presumably, the Tianyan Train is not absolutely safe either. After all, it involves spacetime technology from multiple worlds, and anything can happen."

An Li did not join the conversation.

Just as that mental storm was raging, she vaguely heard a name... She couldn't understand the name, but she instinctively recognized that it was the name of some being.

"Did you hear anything just now?" An Li asked.

"No." Cao Yu asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

“That must be related to my superpower,” An Li said. “I heard a name that I couldn’t express. Perhaps that storm just now was a living being?”

"Hmm...that's a possibility," Cao Yu speculated. "The commentator mentioned that the life forms in the Mysterious Sea possess the ability to 'transmit emotional information through physical form.' That massive storm...could be some kind of super-spiritual life form."

An Li's superpower is "Delusional Necromancer," which gives her an extremely keen sense of spiritual beings.

It's understandable that she can capture information that others can't perceive.

The storm has subsided.

Cao Yu sought out other commentators to try and find out what happened next, but no one knew what was going on.

The endless, mysterious sea is still too enigmatic for players.

With the spirit boat docking at the spirit boat point in sector 007, the matter was considered completely over, and no one bothered to dwell on it anymore.

Cao Yu and his two companions entered the spirit boat, found a secluded corner to sit down, and began to conserve their energy in preparation for the upcoming dungeon.

The Spirit Ship was a mixed bag, with a small number of E-rank and C-rank players, as well as a large number of D-rank players.

No player caused trouble on the Spirit Boat.

After making some inquiries, Cao Yu learned that the spirit ship had "spirit ship guards" provided by "spirit world shipping". They were said to be powerful puppets made with immortal techniques, capable of displaying the strength of a B-level player.

In the past, troublemakers were all subdued by the "Spirit Boat Guardians" and thrown into the Sea of ​​Ghosts... The outcome was predictable.

Time passes slowly.

When the spirit boat arrived at Division 004, Shen Luoyan said a brief goodbye to Cao Yu and An Li, and then stepped off the spirit boat.

Upon arriving at Division 002, An Li stood up and said goodbye to Cao Yu.

Cao Yu sensed that the young girl seemed preoccupied, so he asked:

"what happened to you?"

“I was thinking about that mental storm before,” An Li replied. “That indescribable name… it just doesn’t feel simple.”

This is also why she didn't try to seduce Cao Yu along the way.

She was forced to be distracted.

"Forget it."

Cao Yu's tone became more serious:
"Although the Evolution Game is vast, the number of worlds it covers is always limited. The Mysterious Sea, on the other hand, is endless. From a purely temporal and spatial perspective, the Mysterious Sea is even more mysterious than the Evolution Game. It's best not to delve too deeply into things that are too bizarre."

"Um……"

An Li reached out and patted her cheeks, forcing herself to shake off the jumbled thoughts.

Then, her gaze fell on Cao Yu's right hand.

"...Why are you looking at my hands?" Cao Yu reminded him, "The spirit boat's docking time is only ten minutes."

"I was startled just now, and I'm a little scared," An Li said in a cool and calm tone. "Could you pat my head?"

Cao Yu: "?"

"The spirit boat's docking time is only ten minutes," An Li reminded her.

Good heavens, this is completely upside down... Cao Yu reached out and touched her hair, reminding her, "The people who go to the hunting grounds are definitely warmongers. Be careful and keep a low profile."

"Hmm..." An Li's desires were temporarily satisfied. She suppressed her emotions and said, "I'm leaving now."

Although she was very reluctant, she knew that if she didn't seize the time to become stronger, she would fall behind Cao Yu and eventually be left behind.

After disembarking, An Li did not leave the spirit boat point immediately.

She watched silently as the spirit boat flew back into the strange sea before turning her gaze away.

Just as she was about to teleport to partition 002... suddenly, the information in her mind became clear, and she gradually understood the meaning of the name she had heard during the mental storm... Yi... Xingyi!
Xingyi—this is the name of a god.

Surprise flashed in An Li's eyes... God?

……

Three hours later.

The spirit boat flew out of the strange sea and docked at node 09.

Cao Yu stood up and, together with many expectant players, descended the spirit ship along the unfolded colorful steps, stepping into the center of this spacetime hub.
