Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Under the guidance of Luo Luosi, Yang Yu and his companions toured the affluent district of Reflection City in detail and tested their strength in the duel arena.

Luo Luosi’s profession is support, more specifically, a combat-capable mage.

Apart from being able to manipulate shells for attack and defense, Luo Luosi can also release special sound waves to enhance allies and control enemies.

The timing of Luo Luosi’s skills was impeccable, even suppressing Bai Jin at one point.

If not for Bai Jin being thirty-something levels higher and having overwhelming attributes, Bai Jin might not have been her match at all.

This is the gap in experience.

Even though the Illusion Sea Pearl has been disbanded for years, Luo Luosi has not slacked in training, occasionally showing off to customers, ensuring she would not embarrass herself before the young ones.

Yang Yu was quite satisfied with Luo Luosi’s temporary combat strength.

With her in the sea battles, things would be much easier.

The only slight flaw is...

Perhaps because the Shell Clan is generally small, their stature comparable to dwarves, the physical shells they produce are also smaller than expected. Yang Yu could only stand tiptoe on the shell, unable to steady himself, let alone fight.

Perhaps, he could try a golden rooster stand, draw his sword, and have the shell propel him, turning into a sharp and deadly sword blade storm, shredding all enemies.

However, performing a sword blade storm underwater might be ineffective, possibly turning into a washing machine drum.

The shells made by the Shell Clan aren’t always that small; through specific practice, they can be made larger.

Yang Yu suggested that Luo Luosi start practicing enlarging the shells, at least large enough for him to stand with both feet on them, but Luo Luosi was dismissive.

The larger the shell, the greater the water resistance.

Smaller shells can quickly move through sea currents, achieving rapid support effects, while larger shells would be wrapped by waves, struggling to move forward.

Making the shells bigger does more harm than good.

Yang Yu found a place and used the power of money to persuade Luo Luosi to agree to start practicing resizing the shells diligently from today.

After familiarizing himself with Luo Luosi’s skills and attack habits and having an early dinner, Yang Yu and his party officially entered the submarine center.

Stamping the ticket in hand, they followed the hall stairs to the waiting room, where a massive submarine appeared before them.

The submarine was parked on a wide ground, entirely orange-red, resembling a torpedo ready to be launched.

The new model submarine was over sixty meters high and over three hundred meters long, roughly divided into five levels internally: the first level includes the cockpit, kitchen, hospital, and viewing area; the second and third levels are the cabins, each with a large comprehensive living room offering various services; the fourth level houses the engine room, control room, and airlock; the fifth level is the cargo hold.

This submarine will sell land specialties to different sea areas, collect various specialties from these areas to fill the cargo hold, and return them to Reflection City to sell to the Continent through the port.

After several updates and iterations, the current submarines have realized many complex functions.

For instance, passengers can disembark at any time.

The submarine has a special device that, as long as passengers have pre-booked their disembarkation points and arrive at the designated area within a specified time, they will be enveloped in a bubble created by the device and expelled from the submarine.

However, to board the submarine, one must do so at designated stations when the submarine slows down.

Climbing the gangway, Yang Yu and his party officially boarded the submarine.

The service personnel inside the submarine handed each of them a yellow bracelet, watching closely as they put them on, reminding them to abide by the rules aboard the submarine and not to use skills or any destructive tools without permission.

Every submarine is expensive, and most passengers on board are either wealthy or influential.

This often leads to schemers boarding the submarine to seize it for ransom.

The companies providing submarine services have suffered significant losses due to this; thus, they prioritize safety in every product iteration, giving rise to this yellow monitoring bracelet.

If separated from the person or detecting high-intensity magic power nearby, the bracelet activates, enlisting the submarine’s overall control to ensure the target cannot escape.

After confirming everyone wore their bracelets, the submarine’s attendant approached, guiding Yang Yu and his group to their respective rooms, and introduced the submarine’s functions along the way.

The submarine is a luxurious cruise liner dressed as a submarine, offering food, drinks, and entertainment, although all at additional cost, with even the toilets requiring coins.

The whole submarine reeks of capitalism.

Everything has two sides.

Capital can indeed be detestable, but it is not without benefits.

If it weren’t for the companies seeing profit in submarines, they wouldn’t have developed such technology for fast ocean voyages.

Yang Yu initially thought the All Things Library was the seed of capitalism in this world, only to find that an underwater city had already developed it.

This world is not unchanging; it is continually progressing.

When purchasing the tickets, each room was already assigned, and Yang Yu bought consecutive numbers, so their rooms were adjacent.

Taking the keys from the service attendant, Yang Yu and his companions opened the doors.

Besides basic toiletries and a communication Crystal Ball, the rooms only had a white bed and a bare table.

Filling up the room requires spending money, a luxury only some rich individuals can afford; although Yang Yu had some extra money, he chose not to indulge in extravagance.

In two days, they would reach their destination, so there was no need to spend money for vanity.

After checking their room conditions, Yang Yu led his partners down the stairs to the first level of the submarine.

After paying a small fee, the attendant led them to the viewing hall.

Through the transparent glass barrier, Yang Yu could see the lights surrounding the submarine, the sea gradually dimming with the setting sun, and various fish swimming in the ocean.

The viewing platform was already crowded with people occupying the best spots, so Yang Yu and his companions found a deserted table, sitting down to chat while waiting for the submarine to set sail.

About fifty to sixty minutes later, a loud broadcast sounded in the observation hall where Yang Yu and his companions were.

”Attention, passengers. The voyage will commence in five minutes.

Please confirm your rooms promptly. Those who haven’t boarded yet, hurry and board.

After official departure, those wishing to disembark early should report at the station before reaching the destination.

First stop, Sunshine Mermaid Port.

Passengers who need or are about to disembark, please prepare.”

After the broadcast ended, pleasant music played in the observation hall.
