Sir! Don't close the net!

“Mr. Li Yili, I have never admired anyone as much as I do now; you are the first—”

As Jones lowered the rope ladder, he gave Li Yili a thumbs-up, and the other pirates gathered around and gave Li Yili thumbs-up as well.

"Also, remember to bring rum next time you come. The brothers didn't bring you up here for free."

"That's it!"

"My arms are still sore—Mr. Li Yili, you really should lose weight!"

"you

"These guys...aren't they afraid the higher-ups will hear?" Li Yili gestured towards the captain's cabin. "Aren't you guys forbidden from drinking rum?"

"Ahem—well..." Jones coughed, somewhat embarrassed, "The concept of a bottom line...right..."

“But now it really does have a bit of a pirate vibe,” Li Yili smiled, and slid down the rope ladder.

The pirates on the Mercury Queen began to grumble in dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by 'a bit like pirates'...aren't we pirates?"

Do we smell?

“It doesn’t matter how this happens anymore—” Jones waved his hand, “Mr. Li Yili said! We’ll be at sea within a week! So understand? We need to prepare to go out to sea too!”

"But...haven't we been preparing all along?"

Jones remained silent for a while before lowering his hand. "Then let's do it... um, boss, fulfill Mr. Li Yili's wish, which transcends morality and ethics and stems from pure desire..."

"Waaah—Mr. Li Yili wouldn't want the eldest to lie in his bed, would he? That's really scary—"

"I heard that Mr. Li Yili is keeping a mistress."

"What a scumbag! He's such a scumbag!"

"Hey—I'm only halfway down!"

Li Yili couldn't help but look up and shout.

"Who's the scumbag?!"

Although she didn't hear the pirates' discussion, Alma immediately understood something from Li Yili's complaints. She crossed her arms and sneered, "Levi's Ist. Richard."

Li Yili landed with a whoosh, raised her eyes and looked at Alma, "Secretary Alma, those breasts at 60 mph... are they fake?"

"Hey—you came down here and started spouting scumbag remarks!" Alma shouted at Li Yili, clutching her chest and blushing.

Although she didn't understand what "60 mph plus breasts" meant, she did understand that Li Yili was saying her breasts were fake.

“I’m praising you,” Li Yili said, pinching her index and middle fingers together. “Haven’t you heard of the Dragon King’s crooked mouth? When others look down on you, he throws out a shocking fact and slaps them hard across the face, shocking everyone. In fact, I was indeed slapped hard by you, Secretary Alma, your breasts—are the real deal!”

Alma was taken aback, her gaze shifting downwards to her chest, which was being squeezed so tightly that her shirt was about to burst. The alluring pink color spread visibly from her fair neck all the way to the tips of her ears.

"you--"

"Speaking of which, Secretary Alma..."

"I'm wearing a bra! Even though it's a sports bra, I'm wearing a bra!"

Li Yili opened her mouth, remained silent for a while, then raised her hand and scratched her face. "Um... I just wanted to ask... don't you think the atmosphere on the coast today is a bit strange?"

Alma felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"Ahem—So, Secretary Alma, don't you think the atmosphere on the coast today is quite different from before?"

Although he really wanted to say a few flirty things during this perfect opportunity, seeing that Alma looked like she was about to faint at any moment, Li Yili, who didn't really want to carry another person, decided to take this perfect opportunity to let Alma realize his gentlemanly and considerate side, so that it would be easier to deceive Alma in the future.

As expected, seeing that Li Yili didn't take advantage of this perfect opportunity to say anything suggestive, Alma immediately looked touched and exclaimed, "Really?!"

"..."

If I had known this would be the answer, I would have preferred to say something suggestive that would make her faint.

Li Yili rolled her eyes, raised her elbow and put it on Alma's shoulder, and raised her other hand towards the projection device built on the coast. "Alma, Alma, I didn't ignore some comments just to hear answers like yours."

Alma swallowed hard, then turned her head back to look at the projection device that the coastal fire sprites and the sheep village had set up.

Because the value of the tickets is determined by them, even if the wishing bottle is thrown back, it will not affect the value of the tickets for Sheep Village Logistics and Fire Spirits. As long as the value of the tickets does not change, they will not lack employees. Therefore, even now, there are still many Instas residents standing near the projection device.

But now, looking at it more closely...

"They're all...the same person?" Alma's eyes widened.

Fat, short, tall, thin—they all have the same face.

"Impossible, it was like this before..."

“Ha... don’t worry about it, they’ll take off their masks when they get the receipts,” Li Yili waved her hand and tugged at her backpack. “It’s time to go back, Secretary Alma.”

After hesitating for a moment, Alma followed Li Yili and asked, "Isn't there anything I need to do?"

"Don't worry about it. They're just wearing masks to work. They're the same as they are normally. The important thing now is to get to the sea. I made a promise to do it within a week, and since we made the promise, we have to do it. Let's try to do it within four or five days."

"Four to five days? Isn't that too rushed, considering the data and stuff..."

Li Yili paused, and when she saw Li Yili stop, Alma also stopped immediately.

"Secretary Alma, this has dragged on long enough..."

Li Yili let out a soft breath, her eyes gradually sharpening.

"Once you've truly decided to do it, reaching the sea... is just an inevitable step, a process. The sea exists, even if..."

Not wanting to face it won't change this fact.

Alma was stunned and stared blankly at Li Yili's back.

Is he... talking to her?

After a moment's hesitation, Alma tentatively asked, "So what should we do next? Now that we've officially reached a settlement with Austin, I'm sure the fishermen won't refuse our request."

"That's a good question, Secretary Alma!"

Li Yili raised her finger and shook it from side to side.

"Actually, we have quite a few things to deal with right now. We need to find out and eliminate Austin's method of bouncing our wishing bottles back, and we also have to deal with Bishop Azawi. But these are all important matters. However, the most important thing is indeed..."

"As expected—" Alma said with anticipation.

"Break through to the surface within a week and have the pirate emperor Heidi Serra in my bed—cough cough cough—fulfill a wish that transcends all human ethics!"

Under Alma's disdainful gaze, Li Yili crossed her arms and raised her head.

"There's no time to lose! Let's start building the submarine now!"

Chapter 112 Speeding Up Your Life!

Of course, Li Yili was very confident in her brain. Even if she styled her hair like a green onion, she couldn't possibly be like some high school student with a green onion head who could build rockets and could collect materials and create something in a few pages.

Therefore, it is impossible to build a proper submarine.

But as the saying goes, where you lack intelligence, you just have to grit your teeth and push through. Isn't that how science is developed?

He doesn't need to build a submarine that can both go up and down; he just needs one that can go up.

That makes things much simpler. If the displacement is sufficient and it's sturdy enough to hold people, OK, the Li Yili submarine is complete. The rest can be solved with perseverance.

"You want to use this thing... to get to the surface of the Sea of ​​the Dead?!"

Alma's lips twitched as she raised her hand and pointed to the simple drawing on the blackboard behind Li Yili.

It can't be described as a large wishing bottle; to be precise, it's... a large wishing bottle with a seat and that looks very sturdy.

"By the way, what's that horn-like thing at the bottom?"

"Ah... I don't know if it's even possible, but it's a thruster?"

"Eh?"

"Simply put, it will shoot out flames to speed up the drifting bottle."

"No, no, no—that would just steam the people inside!" Alma raised her hand and waved it forcefully.

She knew that Li Yili possessed wisdom beyond their common sense and designs that carried that wisdom, such as those formulas, but frankly, Li Yili's so-called propulsion design was far too advanced for her to accept.

She didn't doubt that Li Yili could make those loudspeakers spew fire, but she also didn't doubt that the fire would steam the people inside.

As for Li Yili's so-called speeding up of the drifting bottle, well, if she meant speeding up the journey to death, then it certainly did speed things up considerably.

"So handsome—" Zieg's eyes lit up.

“Zig, I have to tell you very seriously… you’re going to ride that thing up there,” Alma said, alarmed by Zig’s excited expression. She quickly reached out and pressed down on Zig’s shoulder, earnestly advising him, “Didn’t you hear what Minister Li Yili said just now?”

"Eh... speeding up?"

"No! It's fire-breathing! The only thing that will be accelerated is your life!"

“I also find this incredible, but I trust Minister Li Yili!” Zig said, hands on his hips. “He wouldn’t joke with my life.”

Alma opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words: "Do you know what this guy's true identity is? He's the minister of the Black Goat's cubs! Do you know Guoweiton? Everyone in Guoweiton is gone! You think he wouldn't joke with your life?"

Alma pinched the bridge of her nose and began to choose her words.

“Of course…because I’ll be sitting on this thing too,” Li Yili said, patting the blackboard behind her.

The Yunzhong executives, who had been watching Alma make a fool of herself, all changed their expressions and quickly surrounded Li Yili.

"Absolutely not, Minister Li Yili!"

"Minister Li Yili, every minute and every second of yours is incredibly precious. Even a slight acceleration would be a loss to the world, let alone acceleration to the point of crossing the finish line!"

After a long silence, Alma pointed at the Cloud Clan executives and shouted, "See—nobody believes your so-called thrusters!"

"Nonsense! I have absolutely no doubt that this propulsion device can accelerate the message in a bottle!"

"Exactly! We just feel that with such a short timeframe, creating an application booster from scratch is far too dangerous!"

……

“What if I were to sit?” Alma raised her eyes.

"Then we can take off now!"

"I'll go place an order with the Fire Sprite right now!"

“That’s right—Minister Li Yili, Alma is your secretary, this should be done by the secretary!”

Li Yili couldn't help but sigh deeply, "I can be sad too, you know..."
