Chapter 75: Lost Song of the Deep (2)
[Game: Deep Sea Fanfare]
[Difficulty Level: B]
[Mission:
1. Survive until the end of the game;
2. Complete the cruise itinerary.]
The name of the game, "Deep Sea Fanfare," suggests a special kind of challenge.
Choose one of the two tasks.
This introduction reveals some details.
The current date on Ye Nianchu’s phone is June 2, and players have three days to prepare.
Whether you board the Goni Cruise openly or sneak in, you must be on the ship within three days, or the mission will be deemed a failure.
“Ms. Ye, just to confirm, you’re ordering the Goni Deluxe Suite for two. The trip is for twenty days,” the staff said, enthusiastic and ready to explain the cruise’s attractions again.
“Uh, swipe the card,” Ye Nianchu replied, holding out a black card between her fingers.
"Okay, okay." The staff took the card with both hands. "We have special packages as well. Would you like to hear about them?"
"No need," Ye Nianchu said with a faint smile.
“We’ll deliver your gifts to your room. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.”

Ten minutes later, Ye Nianchu went out with a map of the itinerary in hand. She found a beachside hotel with a villa and rented a car to get things prepared.
In the vast expanse of the sea, preparation is key. Water, food, and medicine were easy to manage, but packing for two was necessary. The cruise was twenty days long, and something would likely go wrong in between.
Given the two tasks from the system, the cruise would not normally reach shore under typical conditions.
The second mission provides an early advantage and better chances of success.
Ye Nianchu bought an inflatable lifeboat, essential for survival. If the ship capsized from hitting icebergs or reefs, it would increase her chances of survival. Swimming without a boat in the deep sea was futile.
She had considered buying a yacht for extra insurance but had to give up due to space constraints. If she had a companion with extra space, it would be a blessing.
Day two.
Ye Nianchu planned to visit the mall to buy clothes. As a tourist on the ship, she needed to maintain her appearance.
Bringing weapons on international voyages was challenging due to security checks, and there was limited space. Bringing kryptonite was risky and carrying hot weapons was restricted.
This game was intense.
She might face problems if she was unable to board the ship and got caught in an investigation. Missing the first day of the cruise would be problematic.
No firearms, but other items could be used as weapons, such as the hairpin on her head.
As she drove past the harbor, a familiar figure caught her eye. He was carrying goods but still exuded an air of coolness and dignity.
The warm golden sun cast a gentle light, and the sea breeze was pleasant. Amid the crowd, he stood out.
Ye Nianchu pulled over, took off her sunglasses, and approached her companion, whom she had been missing.
Noting the presence of others, she smiled and asked, "Why are you here? Another part-time job?"
