Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#205 - Chapter 205: Bottomless Backpack

Li Chenqiu pointed at the sky and said, "Why has the sky turned like this?"

"It's not just the sky, everything around us has changed. Is this still the Tianyuan Federation?" Xiang Nanzhi shielded her forehead with one hand, looking around in bewilderment.

Hearing Xiang Nanzhi's words, Li Chenqiu turned his neck.

"Hey, how did this ship become solid?" Li Chenqiu muttered, touching the damp deck.

Only then did he realize that he was lying on the deck of a ship.

Xiang Nanzhi looked down at Li Chenqiu: "This is the ghost ship from just now. After coming here, it became solid. Stand up and take a look."

Li Chenqiu nodded, propped himself up with his hands, and stood up unsteadily, looking around.

The next second, his pupils shook, and his mouth opened uncontrollably: "Ah?"

On the boundless sea, countless ships were slowly moving in one direction. They moved at the same speed, with the same spacing, and the same style, and all were empty.

The surging black waves occasionally crashed against the ships at the end, like overseers.

Li Chenqiu rubbed his eyes: "What is this place?"

Xiang Nanzhi patted Li Chenqiu's shoulder: "If I knew, would I be asking you?"

Li Chenqiu covered his mouth slightly, looking around, becoming more and more confused.

He tentatively asked: "Are we trapped in an illusion?"

"Who would create an illusion to mess with people for no reason?" Xiang Nanzhi shook her head, looking at the nearby ships: "I'll go check the other ships to see if I can find anything."

"Okay, be careful." Li Chenqiu instructed.

Xiang Nanzhi smiled and made an "OK" gesture, then suddenly leaped up.

Just as his feet crossed the railing, his body suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if someone had grabbed him.

"Huh?" Xiang Nanzhi looked down in surprise.

Whoosh—

The next second, Xiang Nanzhi fell directly towards the sea.

"I'm screwed—"

At the critical moment, a long rope of condensed water shot out from the deck, binding Xiang Nanzhi in an instant and pulling him up.

Bang!

Xiang Nanzhi fell heavily on the deck.

Li Chenqiu walked to Xiang Nanzhi's side and helped him up: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "The sea can actually pull people down!"

"It seems we can only stay on this ship. Let's go, come with me and look around."

After speaking, Li Chenqiu took the lead and walked towards the cabin. Xiang Nanzhi hurriedly followed.

In the time that followed, the two carefully searched the ship inside and out, but found nothing.

Xiang Nanzhi stood on the deck with her hands on her hips, looking solemn: "What should we do?"

"What should we do?" Li Chenqiu turned his head and asked: "Anyway, it will eventually sail back."

"That's not what I'm worried about." Xiang Nanzhi said worriedly: "This ship doesn't even have a bed. How am I supposed to sleep? Besides, there's no food or drink. What if I get hungry!"

Li Chenqiu: (¬_¬")

Li Chenqiu put down his backpack and took out a few packs of self-heating hot pot and two sleeping bags.

"You…" Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu in surprise.

"I already considered this issue before coming." Li Chenqiu said calmly.

"What water are you going to use to cook the self-heating hot pot? I'm not drinking sea…"

Before Xiang Nanzhi could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu took out two ten-liter bottles of mineral water from his bag.

Li Chenqiu looked at Xiang Nanzhi expressionlessly: "I considered this too."

Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu's back in astonishment: "How can your backpack hold so much?"

"Space is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, there's always some." Li Chenqiu explained.

Xiang Nanzhi bit her thumb, continuing to say incredulously: "The cabin is so humid. I don't want to sleep…"

Li Chenqiu took out a tent from his backpack.

"You… it's too dark here, there's no light…"

Flames rose in Li Chenqiu's hand.

"I like to eat meat. Eating self-heating hot pot is too monotonous…"

Li Chenqiu took out a large piece of jerky from his backpack.

"You, you, you… I think it's too boring on the ship…"

Before Xiang Nanzhi could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu reached out to rummage through his backpack.

Seeing this, Xiang Nanzhi immediately stepped forward, snatched Li Chenqiu's backpack, and looked inside.

Empty.

"Is Parcheesi okay?" Li Chenqiu said, holding a box of Parcheesi.

Xiang Nanzhi widened her eyes, looking at the backpack and then at Li Chenqiu, asking in confusion: "Could your backpack be a mystical artifact? Otherwise, how could it hold so many things!"

Li Chenqiu shook his head: "Packing is a skill. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Xiang Nanzhi was silent for a minute, finally accepting this very difficult reality.

"My preparations aren't free. One box of self-heating hot pot is ten million, one tent is one hundred million, one barrel of water and a sleeping bag are fifty million each, jerky is thirty million, Parcheesi is ten million, and playing with you is one hundred million. Small business, no credit."

Li Chenqiu said with a smile.

"Joy Beans?" Xiang Nanzhi asked with a blank expression.

Li Chenqiu raised his hand to deny it: "Of course not."

The corner of Xiang Nanzhi's mouth twitched: "Do you have any conscience? Things that cost a few dollars or hundreds, you're starting at ten million?"

Li Chenqiu spread his hands: "I'm not forcing you to buy."

"Okay, okay." Xiang Nanzhi smiled, pointing at Li Chenqiu: "You've disappointed me too much. Don't let me catch you!"

"I won't let you catch me…"

Li Chenqiu's voice stopped abruptly as he looked up at the top of the mast.

"What's wrong?"

Xiang Nanzhi followed Li Chenqiu's gaze and looked up, actually seeing… a mast.

"Something flashed at the top."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenqiu leaped up, jumping to the same height as the mast, and sure enough, he found a glowing bead.

Li Chenqiu reached out and took off the bead, landed on the ground, and examined it in front of his eyes.

The bead emitted a faint blue light, and one could vaguely see a small boat inside.

"What is this?"

Xiang Nanzhi leaned forward.

"I'm not sure. Take a look." Just as Li Chenqiu was about to hand the bead to Xiang Nanzhi.

The bead trembled slightly, then "whoosh" shot into Li Chenqiu's wrist.

Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi looked at each other.

After a few seconds of愣, Li Chenqiu hurriedly lifted his sleeve, but he didn't see the bead. He only saw a 2D black boat appearing on his wrist.

Li Chenqiu reached out and tapped the black boat.

No response.

"What is this thing?" Li Chenqiu asked in confusion.

Xiang Nanzhi retorted: "You're the one who found it. Why are you asking me what it is?"

"How did this turn into a sticker on my wrist?" Li Chenqiu raised his wrist.

Xiang Nanzhi asked curiously: "Do you have any special feelings?"

"Special feelings…"

Li Chenqiu closed his eyes, carefully feeling it.
