The male supporting character was actually myself.

A glint of light suddenly flashed across the dark seabed.

That was the reflection of the light source in the sharp blade of Jiang Chen's long sword.

"Squeak!" The hairy-legged monster, split in two, landed on the ground, struggled to its feet, and then transformed into two monsters, one large and one small, charging forward once more!

Jiang Chen swung his sword with a flourish, and this time the hairy monster, once again cleaved in two, fell to the ground and turned into a pile of black water.

The highly corrosive black water hissed on the ground, eventually leaving behind a pitted and uneven surface.

A pair of black boots stepped across the corroded ground, and Jiang Chen's tall and muscular figure resembled a war god amidst the afterimages left by his elegant sword swings!

Chapter Nine: The villain died from talking too much, my friend!

"How...did he do that?" Xiao Lianxue thought she had seen too many talented young people, but the figure of this young man who fought his way through hordes of monsters had shaken her heart and she could never forget it!

More and more monsters began to swarm around Jiang Chen, leaping and jumping in an attempt to engulf his head.

However, all that could be seen was the cold glint of the blade, and within a one-meter radius of Jiang Chen, not a single monster was able to break through!

"Is there anything we can do to help you?" Xiao Lianxue couldn't express her feelings at that moment.

I was excited, nervous, and a little restless; my heart was pounding wildly, like I was falling in love.

His expression was unclear, but Jiang Chen's calm voice still came through, "If you can't hit the monster's head, which is concave in the middle, then don't make any more moves."

Otherwise, I might have to work myself to death to save you.

Oh, by the way, if I save you…

He suddenly paused, and Xiao Lianxue blushed for some reason, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. In stories, in such a scene, the man would usually say something like, "How about you repay me with your body?"

He should know what it means when he mentioned the Xiao family of the main star in his haste.

If that's really the case, how should I respond?

Actually... I'm a little bit thinking about... saying yes to him...

Xiao Lianxue gave a shy smile, then thankfully the seabed was too dark, and the scattered light prevented others from seeing her flushed face.

After slaying several enormous monsters, Jiang Chen finally had time to finish his sentence, "Can you guys leave right now? To be honest, I want what's inside!"

Xiao Lianxue: ? ? ?

Fool! Idiot!

You're still thinking about the treasure inside?

No amount of treasure can compare to the genius young lady of the Xiao family.

I'm so angry!

"I won't argue with you; I should thank you." Her reply was tinged with anger.

The attendants were puzzled; they were about to be saved, so why was the young lady still unhappy?

"No need for thanks." Jiang Chen moved slowly forward, killing monsters along the way, without even panting, and said in a calm tone, "Among the group ahead, there is the enemy who killed my grandmother."

I came here after him; saving you was just a small thing for me.

Xiao Lianxue's eyes widened immediately; a few words were enough for her to automatically conjure up hundreds of thousands of words of love and hate in her mind.

A solitary and aloof swordsman pursues a murderer across thousands of miles, encountering and rescuing a wealthy young lady along the way. They fall in love, fight and battle together, and finally return home in glory to live happily ever after.

What a perfect story!

She watched the young man, who remained calm and collected as he fought his way through the monsters.

Every move he made wasn't like a desperate struggle, but rather an art of killing. The movements were graceful, each strike deadly, brimming with a violent and bloody beauty… that figure was like a knight who had slaughtered countless enemies to bring him home, utterly captivating and mesmerizing!

The young girl with lotus flowers in her arms stood on a rock, gazing down at her hero and lost in daydreams.

The three remaining followers were in a sorry state and on high alert, fearing that something else might go wrong.

Tang Xiaoqi held the machine gun tightly, her eyes never leaving Jiang Chen for a second, afraid that something might happen to him.

The locals who were acting as guides were completely dumbfounded.

Previously, seeing how generous Boss Xia was, I thought he was a rich and idle playboy who came to explore the Treasure Sea.

Who would have thought that this handsome, dashing, and charismatic young man was actually a killing machine!

The crowd shouting and yelling further away seemed to have noticed the situation as well, and began crying out for help.

"Host, I want to apologize to you!" Little White perched on his head like a white velvet hat, her voice trembling as she said, "I will never say you're arrogant again."

As expected of the protagonist of the original work, his physique is incredibly powerful!

Did the plot reveal anything about the original work?

How do you know this thing needs to be beheaded to die?

In a short time, Jiang Chen had cleared out most of the monsters in the vicinity and headed further away. "I guessed it. Monsters are usually designed like this. It's the same principle as fighting zombies."

It's estimated that the original novel didn't explain how Xia Jiangchen cleared the game, so Lin Fan had no idea.

He barged in recklessly, thinking his knowledge of the original story would make things easy, but not only did he fail to impress everyone, he also ended up needing help.

After clearing a small area, he opened the communicator and called out, "Xiao Qi, come and protect me in your mech."

Xiao Lianxue and her attendants were clearly upright gentlemen who were grateful to him.

But the situation might be different for those people who were mixed up with fish and pearls.

Those who travel on those old, cheap, large ships are basically people struggling at the bottom of society who dream of getting rich and turning their lives around.

They are shrewd and cunning, and include gamblers, drug addicts, and even fugitives.

They're currently trapped in place by the monsters and can't move, looking as docile as quails. Once they're about to clear out the monsters, there's no guarantee that some of them won't get greedy and start shooting.

What's more, there's also the protagonist, Lin Fan, who desperately wants him dead.

He'd absolutely do something like stabbing someone in the back just to get a ship girl!

After clearing out monsters along the way, corpses littered the ground.

Besides the numerous individuals killed and severely corroded by the hairy-footed monsters, many others died from sharp weapons, clearly victims of malicious intent.

Ninety percent of the people on the ship died, and the remaining people will only go even crazier!

Tang Xiaoqi, having received orders, ran over with a machine gun, closely following behind to protect Jiang Chen's safety. Xiao Lianxue, who had originally planned to escape from the seabed, also stayed behind, accompanied by her entourage.

"It's you?!" As Jiang Chen's figure drew closer to the larger and taller rock occupied by the group, Lin Fan finally recognized Xia Jiang Chen's face in the dim light!

Before he could even raise the gun in his hand, Tang Xiaoqi roared and fired a shot!

The bullets struck the rocks at Lin Fan's feet, kicking up a cloud of dust and stones, and the others immediately crouched down, covering their heads with their hands.

Cries and pleas for mercy immediately erupted into a cacophony.

Lin Fan was so frightened that he trembled and wet his pants. He dropped his gun on the rock and didn't dare to pick it up. He just stood there with his hands raised in terror, watching the mech that had fired at the slightest provocation.

Jiang Chen frowned. Xiao Qi's aim is terrible!

Why wait to finish them off when you can do it now?

"Shoot! There are so many bullets. If one shot doesn't hit, shoot two. If two shots aren't enough, use a whole magazine. Hurry up and fire!" Xiaobai was so anxious that he was jumping up and down.

If Tang Xiaoqi had just killed Lin Fan right now, then the story could have a happy ending!

Anyway, since it wasn't caused by the host's instigation or suggestion, how the protagonist dies has nothing to do with us!

The protagonist dies, and we can live a carefree, wealthy life just like in the previous mission world...

Filled with anticipation, Xiao Bai waved a small red flag and shouted, "Go Tang Xiaoqi! Go Tang Xiaoqi!"

However, he did fire that one shot.

"Lin Fan!" Then the mecha mask opened, revealing Tang Xiaoqi's angry face. "You killed his grandmother after you failed to rob the boss of his chip;

They even cheated me out of the chips I bought with my hard-earned savings of many years!

You murderer! You fraudster! You deserve to be torn to pieces! *************

Hearing him unleash a torrent of indescribable curses, Xiaobai paced anxiously, "Stop talking! Don't you know villains die from talking too much?! Just shoot him and stop babbling!"

Chapter Ten: Look at this, is this something a human being would do?

After hurling insults for a while, Tang Xiaoqi ultimately just piloted his mecha to tie up Lin Fan, saying he would hand him over to the judicial authorities for punishment.

Jiang Chen: (°ー°〃)

Xiao Bai: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

That's it, this kid is hopeless.

Such a good opportunity, what a waste...

"I'm not reconciled!" Xiaobai cried out in anguish. "Host, promise me you'll train the team members properly from now on, okay?"

It could have been ended with just one shot!

No... I might have a heart attack... I need to eat a bag of dried fish to calm down..."

Tang Xiaoqi tied Lin Fan up tightly and threw him aside, explaining over the communicator, "Boss, I really want to shoot him dead."

But... this is not the Desolate Prison Star.

I've heard the captain and the others talk about the laws of the Deep Sea Star; murder is a serious crime that involves collective punishment.

With so many people watching, if I kill him, it will implicate you.

Besides... I still need to find my sister; I can't risk someone's life at this time.

sorry!

"Handing him over to the authorities was just something I said offhand. We'll deal with him once we're out somewhere where no one else is around!"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a while before finally saying "Okay".

What else can I do?

We shouldn't be dissatisfied just because someone is considering things more, especially since Xiaoqi's ideas are consistent with normal human logic.

Since I can't trick him into killing the protagonist, I can only complete the mission first and then look for an opportunity.
