The various forms of seafood were fished up one by one, and Mag made them into delicious dishes. When the group finally put their chopsticks down, all of them burped simultaneously and smiled with satisfaction.
“Boss, you"ve fed us too much~ It"s such a bliss to go out with you!” Yabemiya smiled like a fangirl as she looked at Mag, who was clearing the kitchenware. She probably would not find another man like this in this world anymore.
Elizabeth looked at Miya, and then at Mag. She frowned a little.
She could not deny that Mag was indeed a very outstanding man, whether it was his character or his abilities. Even in the Dragon tribe, she did not think she saw anyone that could be his equal.
However, the lifespan of dragons and humans varied too much. She did not dare to imagine the loneliness after 100 years.
As her sister, she had to remind Miya about that even if she really had feelings for Mag.
“It"s great that everyone likes it.” Mag smiled. It was a good feeling to have gained a fangirl.
“But, why isn"t Big Sister Gina back yet? Did she run into some trouble?” Amy said worriedly as she leaned over the side of the boat to look into the water.
“I heard from my grandpa that there are a lot of ferocious monsters in the sea. What happens if Big Sister runs into danger since she went alone?” Anna was also full of worry.
“The ocean is Gina"s home. She"s able to unleash her fullest potential in the water, so it shouldn"t be too much of a problem,” Mag said. However, even he did not seem to be too confident.
Gina had already left for two to three hours. She should already be back judging from her speed.
He was confident that the one who held the power among the merfolk would come over quickly to have a talk with him after seeing that drawing.
Amy turned her head back to look at Mag, and expectantly said, “Father, why don"t we go down to have a look? I"ve never been into the ocean before. It should be super fun down there, right?”
“Er…” Mag was put in a difficult position. After just having a narrow escape from death in the water, making him go back into the water now would be impossible. Judging from his current condition, death would be the only outcome for him if he went down.
“The Jiaolong submarine is the best choice for deep-sea exploration, treasure hunting, and touring!
“Not for 10,000,000 copper coins, not for 1,000,000 copper coins, but only for 99,999 copper coins, you will be able to rent the Jiaolong submarine! In the comfort of the eight-seater with a full autopilot function, you will be able to travel underwater at the speed of up to 1000 knots and up to 16,000 meters deep!
“What are you waiting for?!
“Rent the Jiaolong submarine and bring your family along on an unforgettable deep-sea exploration!”
Just then, a submarine in a water-droplet shape appeared in Mag"s mind together with the system"s merry voice.
“???” Mag.
“System, the way you earn money is really… pitiful.” Mag could not help but lament.
“What do you know? The system invested a lot of money to make this submarine back then in order to catch a Nether Shark for research. Now I"m stuck with it, so I can only try to recoup my losses by renting it out!” the system shouted. However, it quickly felt that it had said too much, so it sent a smiling emoji. “Of course, it is not impossible if the host wants to own a submarine. With just 25,000,000 copper coins, this all-rounded submarine will be yours.”
“System, you said that you used this back then to catch Nether Sharks? So you also caught the 10th-tier Nether Shark with this submarine too?” Mag asked instead of giving the system a reply.
“Of course. It"s just a larger-sized sea creature. What"s the difference?” the system said, puzzled.
“Er… There isn"t a difference.” Mag had a weird expression on his face. He was unable to continue this conversation.
“Yes, the water looks so clear. It"s such a pity I can"t swim. Otherwise, it would definitely be very fun to go underwater,” Yabemiya said with a little disappointment.
“Actually, I can swim, but I"ve only swum in the swimming pool at home. I"ve never tried swimming in the ocean.” Babla glanced at the surface of the water, and inched a little away from the side. There was still some difference between the water here and the water in the palace"s pool.
Mag saw how everyone seemed pretty interested in the sea. He pondered for a while, and told the system, “For a submarine, 99,999 is impossible. 9,999 copper coins and no more. If you"re willing, I will rent your submarine again the next time I go out to sea. That way, you would be able to recoup your losses after renting it to me for 2500 times. Isn"t this a great deal?”
“Wrong! Host, you are insulting the system"s intelligence!”
“How is that so? I"ve always been very kind.” Mag raised his eyebrows. Has the system become smarter?
“If I were to recoup my losses by renting it 2500 times, a single rental fee must be 10,000 copper coins! The host"s offer is already lower than the system"s lowest limit!” the system said seriously.
“Alright, I will raise the offer by 1 copper coin, but you must ensure that the equipment for catching Nether Sharks is all in working condition. Also, I want a sufficient number of uses. This is to ensure my safety. I suppose that wouldn"t be a problem, right?” Mag rolled his eyes, behaving as though he was the one at a disadvantage.
“Deal! The host has the upper limit for the equipment use, and you have also obtained the system"s promise for safety protection!” the system agreed readily.
Mag let out a soft cough to interrupt the women"s discussion, and smilingly said, “If everyone really wants to go underwater, there is a way. I"ve been working on a submarine previously, so we can test it now.”
“Submarine? Where is it? Father, did you leave it at home?” Amy asked curiously after she circled around Mag and failed to find any submarine.
The group of women also looked at Mag in bewilderment. A submarine that could fit everyone would definitely not be small. Could Mag also have a s.p.a.ce magic ring with him?
“No, I brought it along. There it is.” Mag reached a finger out and pointed at the water surface.
Everyone"s gaze followed the direction of his finger, but the empty water surface was still empty.
The awkward silence lasted for two minutes.
Mag smiled awkwardly and retracted his finger.
What kind of lousy delivery service was that? The estimated time provided by the system was not accurate at all!
Bullsh*t! I want a refund!
“Boom!”
Just as Mag was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, a large water-droplet-shaped metallic ball came falling from the sky, landing in the spot Mag had pointed at, causing a large splash.
