Upon reaching the An Boundary waters, fishing boats engaged in salvage operations gradually came into view.
Domestic fishing boats are divided into two types: large fishing vessels that use machinery for salvage, with thousands of fish being dumped into their freezing compartments.
The other type consists of very primitive fishing boats, with one or two fishermen and very simple tools, similar to the many rudimentary fishing boats found near Feiniao City.
Little Japan also has primitive fishing boats, but more have been mechanized. They certainly have many ways of eating fish, and their salvage industry is also relatively developed.
This An Boundary sea area was filled with such salvage boats, all painted grey. When this white cruise ship from China sailed into these waters, it appeared somewhat out of place.
Lin Chen had no goodwill towards this country, though this was not absolute; those who understand, understand!
Upon entering the port and stepping onto solid ground, everyone felt their hearts settle. Now, facing those sea monsters, none of them were afraid!
Because the magic ship had been rocking for so long, even on land, they still had the illusion of swaying, walking as if they were drunk.
"Does anyone speak Japanese?" Mo Fan quickly asked a crucial question.
"I do! I love watching Japanese dramas!" Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"Oh, me too!" Mo Fan replied.
Jiang Shaoxu was no longer an ignorant young girl. Seeing Mo Fan's wicked smile, she immediately rolled her eyes and cursed, "Pervert!"
Lin Chen glared fiercely at Mo Fan. This guy dared to say dirty things to his woman. He would definitely teach him a good lesson when he had the chance.
Seeing Lin Chen's fierce gaze, Mo Fan shivered. He awkwardly rubbed his nose and pleaded, "Just kidding, just kidding!"
"Let's find a place to rest first. Don't stay here too long and let them realize we're here illegally; that would be troublesome!" Ai Jiangtu said.
As the saying goes, bad things are more likely to happen than good ones. No sooner had Ai Jiangtu finished speaking than several Little Japan people, who looked like security officers, walked over. They first looked at the cruise ship docked in the port, then came over to question them.
Jiang Shaoxu realized something was wrong and quickly told everyone to keep quiet. She then took the initiative to converse with the security officers.
Jiang Shaoxu's Little Japan was very fluent, and her tone, demeanor, and aura were as if she had transformed into a sexy and beautiful Little Japan girl. Her eyes sparkled with half innocence and half allure.
"We are a cruise ship from Lin Shi Group and have permission to land!" Jiang Shaoxu told a security officer with a mustache.
The mustached security officer looked at them with some suspicion and walked over to the others to question them.
Everyone remembered Jiang Shaoxu's earlier warning and dared not speak; speaking would expose them!
Fortunately, Jiang Shaoxu was clever. She claimed that everyone was deaf and mute and communicated with Nan Jue using sign language, finally dispelling the suspicions of the security officers. Everyone managed to get through without incident!
...
After leaving the pier and passing inspection, they were basically safe upon entering Xixiong City. The patrolling security officers of Little Japan wouldn't possibly be so bored as to randomly stop people and demand identification. In the eyes of others, they were just a group of young people.
They couldn't stay in guesthouses or hotels, as they required identification for registration, just like in China, and there were virtually no illegal inns in this city near the Pacific Ocean.
Helpless, this group of down-and-out prodigies could only find a temple halfway up a mountain. The temple took them in because they offered a considerable amount of incense money.
The temple was called Yanming Temple, a very standard Little Japan temple style. The stone gate was at the foot of the mountain, and marble steps led straight up to the mountain temple. The temple wasn't particularly large, and there weren't many worshippers. Besides a few Little Japan monks, it was just them, the illegal immigrants!
In front of the temple were two stone-carved turtles, comparable in size to guardian lions. As everyone rested, looking forward to sleeping on comfortable and solid beds, Lin Chen sat on the large turtle's shell. From there, he could see a panoramic view of Xixiong City, the jagged coastline, and the Pacific Ocean extending into the distance. In simple terms, it was a half-mountain sea-view temple!
"You... what are you doing? Get down quickly! You can't sit on the sacred turtle. How can there be such an ill-mannered worshipper!" A monk with a rather delicate appearance walked over, pointing at Lin Chen and scolding him.
Although he didn't understand Little Japan, his attitude clearly indicated that he wasn't saying anything good. Lin Chen directly jumped off the turtle shell, ignored the bald donkey, and prepared to leave!
The bald donkey was still chattering incessantly. Lin Chen frowned slightly, just as he was about to teach the bald donkey a lesson, he saw a simple-looking girl with a high ponytail slowly walking up the mountain steps from outside.
The girl had a sweet face, and even without any expression, she seemed to have two charming dimples.
Her figure was delicate and graceful. Compared to mature beauties like Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue, she was much more youthful, but her tenderness and slender build were truly endearing!
This Little Japan girl was no different from girls in China. If there was any difference, it was that the girl might have worn some light makeup, and her lip gloss was an alluring rosy pink. This was somewhat different from girls in China in their twenties who didn't even know how to apply foundation, as it was rare for girls of this age in China to wear such natural makeup!
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, completely unmoved. Instead, he turned and left without looking back.
After nightfall, the entire Yanming Temple was so quiet that there wasn't even the sound of insects. The bustling seaside city below, adorned with flowers, seemed to have nothing to do with it. Some dim paper oil lamps flickered faintly on the dark mountain, making it easy to overlook its existence.
Feeling the serene atmosphere, Lin Chen seemed to think of something. He glanced at the thick beams inside the room, then at the beds on the floor. Lin Chen immediately lost interest. Little Japan, well, some aspects were flowery, but Lin Chen always felt it was a bit perverted. Overall, these flashy ways of playing were not suitable for Lin Chen!
Just as Lin Chen was bored, Jiang Shaoxu walked over, arm in arm with Mu Ningxue, and said, "Come shopping with us!"
"Shopping? Are you sure?" Lin Chen's mouth twitched as he said, knowing that they were undocumented. What if they had bad luck...
"We need to buy things in the city. It's still a distance from here to the city. Are you comfortable letting two beautiful women like us go out at night? What if we encounter someone with ulterior motives on the way?" Jiang Shaoxu said softly, pouting!
Mu Ningxue, beside her, was secretly smiling, very happy to see Lin Chen being manipulated!
