The Presidential Ship has surfaced.

The oppressive feeling unique to the deep sea dissipated, and sunlight once again streamed through the reinforced glass into the cockpit, illuminating everyone's faces.

Qin Yu leaned back in the captain's chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers.

He pulled out the golden cube he had obtained at the end of the maze from his pocket.

[The core control hub of the maze].

This thing feels heavy in my hand and is slightly warm.

"We were so busy working on the submarine that we haven't even served this main course yet."

Qin Yu casually tossed the cube to Yao Qian, who was standing next to him.

"Get to work, housekeeper."

Yao Qian caught it in a flurry, almost hitting her foot in the process.

"Brother Yu! This is the core component! What if it gets damaged?!"

She glared at Qin Yu reproachfully, but her hands moved quickly.

She immediately ran to the other side of the console and pulled out a new connection slot.

"This core interface protocol is compatible with our shipboard system."

Yao Qian operated the equipment while reporting the results without turning her head.

"According to data analysis, this thing can not only control the previous underground labyrinth, but if it is loaded onto the 'President', it can take over all the access control, partitions and defensive turrets inside the ship."

"In other words..."

Yao Qian's finger pressed the Enter key on the virtual keyboard.

"Loading complete."

"Buzz—"

A faint mechanical clicking sound came from inside the ship.

It wasn't the loud noise of a ship deforming, but a more subtle sound, like the sound of blood vessels being opened.

A new 3D structural diagram instantly appeared on the main screen in front of Qin Yu.

That's an interior perspective view of the "President" ship.

The originally fixed cabin structure has now been marked with green movable symbols.

"That's interesting."

Qin Yu sat up straight and swiped his fingers across the screen.

As he moved, the walls inside the cabin actually began to move.

"This thing allows the ship's cabins to be assembled like a Rubik's Cube."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"If anyone is foolish enough to join our crew in the future..."

"I'll let him experience what it's really like to be trapped in a maze."

"Trap him in the toilet, or turn the corridor into a meat grinder."

Li Ruobing leaned closer, looked at the constantly changing red killing zones on the screen, and couldn't help but whistle.

"I like this feature."

"From now on, when we capture prisoners, we won't even need to interrogate them. We can just throw them in for a couple of rounds, and they'll be so scared they'll wet themselves."

Yao Xue adjusted her glasses and calmly added:

This is the end.

This trip to the misty ruins has finally been fully digested.

The ship has been upgraded, fully equipped with weapons, and its defense is impenetrable.

On this apocalyptic ocean, Qin Yu is the law of motion.

"Open the regional channel."

Qin Yu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"Look at the chaos outside."

……

Regional chat channel (the larger region after the merger of region 9527 and neighboring regions).

At this moment, this place is no longer an explosion site.

It was a nuclear explosion.

The messages scroll so fast it's dizzying; without filtering mode, you can't even tell who's talking.

The battle that just took place was truly earth-shattering and caused a huge commotion.

The mist dissipated, the demonic whale roared, and then came the final cannon shot that pierced the heavens and the earth.

Survivors within a radius of dozens of nautical miles, unless they were blind, all saw it.

[Zhao Liu (on the run): Dead! They're all dead!! I was just a second too slow. If I had been a second later, I would have been turned into mincemeat like Sun Wu and the others! It was terrifying!]

[Wang Mazi: Upstairs, you've posted this fifty times already! Who died? What was that weird scream?]

[Zhao Liu: Zhang Nanhai! The second-ranked player in our district! That's the Dragon King of the South China Sea! Just like that, he's gone! Not even a complete corpse left behind!]

[Sun Ergou: Bullshit! Boss Zhang has S-class items and over a hundred boats of underlings. Who can kill him? Are you drunk?]

[Liu San (eyewitness): I wasn't drunk... I saw it too. It was over there in the Misty Ruins. Of Zhang Nanhai's more than one hundred boats, only our dozen or so broken rafts remain. The rest have all sunk.]

[Anonymous User: Don't mention the ship. You guys didn't see the last scene. That black whale, bigger than a mountain, swallowed Zhang Nanhai's ship whole. And what happened? Before it could even take a few bites, it was pierced through by a beam of blue light!]

[Qian Duoduo: Blue light? What blue light? Aliens?]

[Liu San: What kind of aliens are those! That's Qin Yu's ship! That's not a raft, it's a battleship! I saw it turn into a black blob and dive down, and then that whale, hundreds of meters long, rolled belly up!]

The chat channel was silent for a few seconds.

Then, even more outrageous news broke out.

[Zhou Tong: Qin Yu?! It's Qin Yu again?!]

[Li Si: It's confirmed. Didn't you guys see the system announcement? The rankings have been updated. Zhang Nanhai's name is grayed out, he's been removed. Qin Yu's stats... Holy crap, look at them yourselves, is that even humanly stats?]

[Zhao Liu: Don't even mention it, my legs are still weak. Qin Yu was watching us from behind that glass wall, his eyes... like he was looking at dead people. He didn't even lift a finger; he just moved a finger, and the traps wiped us all out.]

Qin Yu looked at the constantly flashing text on the screen and exhaled a smoke ring.

His face was expressionless.

"It seems that those few who slipped through the net, like Zhang Nanhai, have done a lot of publicity work for us."

Li Ruobing crossed her arms and rolled her eyes as she looked at the comments describing Qin Yu as "blue-faced and fanged" and "a ruthless killer."

"These cowards."

"You're portrayed as some kind of cannibalistic monster."

"Mingyu, you're actually quite handsome."

Qin Yu smiled and flicked his cigarette ash.

"A bad reputation is still a reputation."

"In this world, it's better to be feared than to be coveted like a fat sheep."

"Now, no one should dare to cause us any trouble."

Just then.

The style of the chat channel suddenly changed.

If just now it was fear and shock.

So now, a strange... tide of gratitude has suddenly emerged?

[Zhang Wei: Wait... guys, I think I've suddenly cleared my head.]

[Wang Gang: Me too! I was just crying because our goddess Weiwei died. But now I suddenly want to slap myself. What the hell was I doing? Did I give her all the two boxes of bread I finally managed to salvage? Did I starve myself and drink rainwater?]

[Zhao Qiang: Holy crap! Me too! I was such an idiot! That woman said she wanted to see me dance, so I danced a striptease on the raft all afternoon? Now I want to die!]

[Chen Ping: This is sorcery! It's definitely sorcery! That Yu Weiwei, just one glance at her before made me feel like my soul was about to leave my body; whatever she said was law. Just now, the system notified me that she's dead, and the fog in my head instantly lifted.]

[Li Ming: Damn it! My supplies! My S-rank fragments! That vixen tricked me out of everything! She even said that if I behaved well, she'd let me smell her socks... Ugh! I'm going to throw up!]

[Chow Tai Fook: Brothers, we've solved the case. That Yu Weiwei definitely had some kind of mind-controlling device. With her dead, the device stopped working.]

[Zhang Wei: Who killed her? Who killed this witch?]

[Liu San: Who else could it be? I already said, it was only Qin Yu and his group over there. I saw it clearly; the hot girl in hot pants next to Qin Yu came out of the maze carrying a knife, covered in blood.]

[Wang Gang: Qin Yu?!]

[Zhao Qiang: Dad! Qin Yu is my real dad! If he hadn't killed that vixen, I'd still be her human stepping stone!]

[Li Ming: Boss Qin is awesome! Thank you so much, Boss Qin, for saving my life! You have no idea, that vixen even wanted us to feed sharks and be her bait! That's ruthless!]

[Chen Ping: Boss Qin Yu, I was blind before and even tried to steal your ship. I was wrong! I'll kowtow to you right now! Thank you for helping me regain my senses!]

The channel was originally discussing how brutal Qin Yu was.

It instantly turned into a large-scale "father recognition" scene.

Hundreds and thousands of thank-you messages flooded the screen.

These people were the "simp squad" who had been charmed by Yu Weiwei with that near-S-rank item, the [Phantom Sea Peacock Fan].

When Yu Weiwei dies, the lights go out and the props become ineffective.

Recalling their past actions, the group of people were filled with shame and indignation, and their hatred for Yu Weiwei instantly transformed into gratitude towards Qin Yu.

"puff……"

Li Ruobing couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw those messages.

"Brother Yu, look at this."

She pointed to one of the messages.

[Wang Gang: Boss Qin, from now on you're like a second parent to me. That vixen swindled me out of my underwear, but you saved my last shred of dignity. Even though I'm naked now, my heart is warm!]

"These people are hilarious!"

"You were just saying you'd tear me to pieces for your goddess."

Yao Xue looked at the screen, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

"That's human nature."

"When they are controlled, they are fanatical believers."

"When the shackles were broken, they hated the person who controlled them more than anyone else."

"And the one who breaks the chains naturally becomes the savior."

Yao Qian muttered to herself:

"But sister, we didn't intend to save them."

"If Sister Bing killed Yu Weiwei, it was purely because she couldn't stand that woman's slutty and provocative manner, right?"

Li Ruobing snorted and flicked her ponytail.

"That's right."

"I just don't like her."

"I'll kill any woman who tries to control men by flaunting her sex appeal."

"As for saving these idiots?"

"That was just something I did."

Qin Yu looked at the constant stream of "Thank you, Father Qin" messages, but he didn't get carried away by the praise.

He is very clear.

These people's gratitude is genuine.

But what if one day you get hurt, or show signs of fatigue?

This group of people would also pounce on you without hesitation, tearing a piece of flesh from your own body.

This is the end times.

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.

He turned on full-frequency broadcast.

This is the privilege of the top-ranked player.

He can make his message visible to everyone without using a megaphone.

Qin Yu tapped a few keys on the keyboard.

A line of text was entered.

[Qin Yu (ranked first): A brain is a valuable thing. Now that you've found it, don't lose it again.]

[Qin Yu (Top Ranking): Also, I don't accept sons, nor do I need grandsons. If you want to repay a debt of gratitude, let resources speak for themselves. Don't just stand around shouting slogans in the channel; it's an eyesore.]

send.

Two sentences.

Simple, crude, and direct.

This momentarily caused the bustling chat channel to freeze.

But immediately afterward, no one got angry because of Qin Yu's arrogance.

instead……

[Zhao Qiang: See that?! That's the aura of a big shot! Even his insults are so philosophical!]

[Wang Gang: Uncle Qin is right! I'll go retrieve the box right now! When I find something good, I'll give it to you first!]

[Sun Ergou: That's so domineering. Compared to Qin Yu, that Zhang Nanhai is nothing. He's always so gloomy, nothing like Boss Qin's straightforwardness.]

[Anonymous: This is the difference in strength. Qin Yu doesn't care about our pittances at all. No way, I have to work harder too, otherwise I won't even be qualified to be Qin Yu's lackey.]

……

Qin Yu closed the chat panel.

There's no need to look at it anymore.

The goal of establishing authority has been achieved.

Whether it's military intimidation or this unexpected "favor" binding them together.

For at least a long time, no one in the region dared to have any ill intentions towards him.
