Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, the Merfolk Queen pondered for a moment before speaking: "Understood, Master. I've taken note.
But... how exactly does one use this Papaya Cream?"
Luo Feng nearly regretted giving the Merfolk Queen this item upon hearing such an innocent question. His actions might corrupt her purity.
The Merfolk Queen's naivety far exceeded Luo Feng's expectations. Yet he found this understandable—after all, she had always lived on Fish-Human Island as their sovereign. Such matters would naturally be beyond her experience.
Such innocence and purity—in Luo Feng's world, one could only find comparable innocence in kindergarteners.
After this reflection, Luo Feng explained: "The Fluorescent Papaya Cream is simple to use—just apply it there."
"Master, I know what 'there' refers to, but why apply it? Does this relate to making me grow larger?"
"Just apply it there."
"Master, what is 'there'? I've never heard of this."
Luo Feng felt a headache coming on—the Merfolk Queen's innocence was truly overwhelming. How could he possibly explain this directly? He couldn't just blurt out that word.
Finally, with no alternative, Luo Feng pointed at the relevant area and said: "Just apply it here."
Blushing upon seeing Luo Feng's gesture, the Merfolk Queen murmured: "Thank you, Master. Now I understand. So that's what it's called here. We use different terms back home. After dinner tonight, I'll test this Papaya Cream's effects. Should I make any mistakes or have questions... I hope Master can assist me."
Luo Feng's mind immediately conjured images of Tang Xueying using the Fluorescent Papaya Cream. But this time... he hadn't experienced that sensation yet. However, he had no intention of taking advantage of the Merfolk Queen's innocence. Such matters could wait until she better understood these things.
Meeting the Merfolk Queen's utterly guileless gaze, Luo Feng said: "The Papaya Cream is quite simple to use—you'll manage fine. But if you truly encounter difficulties, I can offer some guidance later. For now, put it away."
The Merfolk Queen beamed with joy: "Thank you, Master. You're so kind to me."
Just as Luo Feng was about to respond, a system notification abruptly appeared before him:
[Ding! Global Announcement: As survivors worldwide have constructed sufficient vessels, Disaster Mode has been activated. Beginning at 6:00 AM, a Tier One Disaster will commence, lasting six hours.]
Disaster Types: Gale, Rainstorm, Blizzard, Heavy Fog, Hail, Tsunami, Typhoon, Extreme Cold, Extreme Heat, Sea Monster, Fish Tide, Beast Tide, Volcanic Eruption, Meteor Impact, etc.
"Ding, Global Announcement: Due to the number of ships built by survivalists worldwide reaching a certain threshold, the Disaster Mode has been officially activated. Starting at 6:00 AM, a Level 1 disaster will occur and last for six hours.
Disaster Types: Gale, Rainstorm, Blizzard, Heavy Fog, Hail, Tsunami, Typhoon, Extreme Cold, Extreme Heat, Sea Monster, Fish Tide, Beast Tide, Volcanic Eruption, Meteor Impact, etc."
+1
The global announcement repeated three times, echoing in the minds of all players.
Luo Feng stared at the red text before him, startled by the sudden news.
He hadn't expected that the collective shipbuilding efforts of people worldwide would trigger disasters once a certain number was reached.
Although Luo Feng knew that various disasters would inevitably occur in this oceanic world, he never imagined they would arrive so soon—tomorrow from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
How severe would a Level 1 disaster be? Probably not too intense—just some wind and rain at most.
As for the other disaster types listed, Luo Feng didn't believe they would appear at this stage. If those disasters struck now, most players would likely perish.
However, Luo Feng wasn't worried. His Epic Ship would definitely be completed before 6:00 AM tomorrow. Once ready, he could weather any storm unscathed aboard his Epic Ship.
While Luo Feng remained unconcerned, Tang Xueying had no ship. What if she encountered these disasters?
With this thought, Luo Feng sent her a message: "Did you hear the global announcement just now?"
Tang Xuewei was currently preparing noodles, waiting for the water to boil so she could add them. She had naturally heard the announcement but hadn't immediately brought it up with Luo Feng while cooking.
Hearing Luo Feng's voice, she replied, "I heard it too. It seems I'll need to start preparing some defensive measures. Otherwise, suddenly facing these disasters would leave me unprepared."
Luo Feng considered her words and said, "Be careful when traveling tomorrow. If anything happens, tell me immediately. I'll find a way to help. Once we meet tomorrow, you won't have to worry about these things. My ship will be finished by then, and you can just board it."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewei's unease began to settle. Every conversation with Luo Feng filled her with an immense sense of security.
Would they really meet tomorrow? How would Luo Feng react upon discovering she was Tang Xuewei?
With these thoughts, she responded, "Alright, I'll remember that. I'll be very careful tomorrow. If anything unsolvable happens, I'll let you know."
"You should also be careful and stay safe.
By watching the chat channels, I've noticed that this ocean world is filled with many terrifying creatures.
So, if you encounter any particularly dangerous monsters, run away quickly—don't insist on fighting them.
I'll be waiting for you to come get me."
