Capítulo 1057: Chapter 1058: Return to the Harbor
“That person is just like that.
Don’t be fooled by her appearance; if sothing really happens, she’s still quite reliable.”
After leaving the Civilian District, Lang Yi briefly told Yang Yu so stories about Luo Luosi,
“There have been many S-Class adventure groups in this world, but even at the peak, only a few dozen were active at the sa ti.
Countless S-Class adventure groups have disbanded for various reasons.
So due to internal conflicts, others because of external disasters.
Recently, two S-Class adventure groups have disappeared from the world.
If you can’t find a way to maintain S-Class strength, you will slowly be downgraded to Quasi-S-Class.
Compared to other existing S-Class adventure groups in this world, [Island Drifting] is still relatively young.
Once, an adventure group called [Illusion Sea Pearl], was promoted to an S-Class adventure group at the sa ti as [Island Drifting].
Both S-Class adventure groups recruited strong and aspirational people from the Ocean Duchy with a principle of racial equality.
Unfortunately, good things do not last long.
In an accident, the leader of [Illusion Sea Pearl] unexpectedly died, causing the team centered around him to decline significantly.
Without passing their regular assessnt, they were eventually forced to be downgraded to a Quasi-S-Class adventure group.
Without the leader as a glue, conflicts gradually arose among the team mbers of [Illusion Sea Pearl], leading to their collapse.
Luo Luosi always felt that the captain’s death was in so way related to her…
Rember this, and avoid poking her sore spot.
Once you get to know her, you’ll find she’s actually quite an easy person to get along with.”
Yang Yu nodded and said, “Her ability is quite important to .
I’ll rember not to tear open her scars, and I’ll remind the others in the team to be mindful.”
“That’s good.”
As they walked back into the neat and beautiful streets, Lang Yi showed Yang Yu around the Submarine Service Center.
The submarine service is monopolized by the biggest company here.
Anyone can visit the submarine museum in the service center by paying an admission fee to learn about the history of submarines.
The guide showing Yang Yu around was enthusiastic in explaining their submarine research, and Lang Yi sensibly tipped the guide a little.
Submarines are very expensive, with only one trip per day that can accommodate a thousand people. If you miss it or tickets sell out, you have to wait for the next day’s trip.
Lang Yi and [Island Drifting] had already purchased tickets for today, with a departure at eight in the evening, so Lang Yi couldn’t show Yang Yu around for long and had to be brief.
At the end of the tour, Lang Yi took Yang Yu to the counter to buy six tickets for the next day’s trip.
Leaving the Submarine Service Center, Lang Yi led Yang Yu towards the Common Residential Area.
To avoid running into Lingshan, Lang Yi chose a direction completely opposite to their inn, walking at the front so he could quickly hide Yang Yu if any trouble arose.
The Reflection City’s wealthy area and the Common Residential Area are separated by a massive glass wall, leaving only a city gate-sized gap for entry and exit.
After paying the travel fee, Yang Yu and the others passed through the thick glass wall segregating the wealthy area from the Common Residential Area, arriving at the Common Residential Area.
The Common Residential Area lacked luxurious buildings and wide, spotless avenues, only featuring uniform grayish-yellow bungalows, dusty streets, and so plainly dressed Sea-dwelling Species.
During the day, the streets of the Common Residential Area are empty, appearing quite deserted as most capable Sea-dwelling Species swim to the shore to trade with the land people for necessary resources and money.
The remaining won and children will find so work to do at ho to supplent their household inco.
You have to wait until nightfall to see the vibrant side of the Common Residential Area.
At that ti, the Sea-dwelling Species returning from work will gradually co back here, and vendors will fill the streets in line with the rules, lighting up magic lamps under the night sky.
Many of Reflection City’s specialty snacks can only be enjoyed then.
“As long as you know to find contentnt, life here isn’t much worse than in the wealthy area.”
Saying these words, Lang Yi appeared a bit lancholy.
Saying ‘not much worse than the wealthy area’ was just a comforting remark.
The people here can’t do whatever they want and sing praises to youth like the wealthy.
If they fall ill or encounter an incident, spending their lifeti savings might plunge them into a poverty trap they can never escape.
Lang Yi had visited this city many tis before and knew its true situation.
He didn’t express his genuine feelings, only hoping Yang Yu would treat everyone here living earnestly with ordinary and equal regard.
Walking along the edge of the big bubble, Yang Yu saw a guarded gate leading to Stone Snail Sea Port.
“Since we’re here already, let see you off a bit further.”
Lang Yi said to Yang Yu, greeting the gate guard, who showed enthusiasm without asking for money, guiding Yang Yu’s bubble through the gate into the ocean.
Standing in the middle of the road illuminated by orange light, Yang Yu looked ahead, finding the sea water not as muddy as he imagined; instead, it was quite clear.
Yang Yu had arrived just in ti for the high tide of Sea-dwelling Species returning to shore. Countless Sea-dwelling Species swam vigorously to the harbor, stirring up the water.
In the clear sea water, Yang Yu could find the glowing pools overhead even when alone.
But Lang Yi still ca through the door, entering the sea, accompanying Yang Yu on the final stretch of the journey, ensuring Yang Yu safely arrived at the harbor.
Walking up the steps, Yang Yu returned to the sun-drenched Stone Snail Sea Port.
Lang Yi, half-standing like an otter in the central pool, bid farewell to Yang Yu:
“That’s all I can help you with.
If there’s anything you want to know, ask Luo Luosi. She’s more inford about the various sea regions than I am.
Let’s part ways here. If we et again, I’ll try to get that fool of a captain in my house to set things aside and give you a proper feast and drinks.”
Yang Yu also raised his hand to bid goodbye to Lang Yi, saying, “You all don’t need to keep dwelling on that day. So misunderstandings are inevitable; it’s okay once they’re resolved.”
“I know, but I still hope to do sothing for you guys. If I don’t do anything, it feels a bit uncomfortable. That’s it then.”
As Lang Yi was about to dive, he rembered sothing,
“You’ve been pretty cozy with [Corpse Collection Coffin].
Even now, I still can’t believe my sister would make that kind of choice…
Since she’s made that choice, as her older brother, all I can do is support her.
If you see her again, tell her to take care of herself from .
If there’s nothing going on or if she’s in trouble, she can co to .”
“No problem.”
Once receiving Yang Yu’s response, Lang Yi finally dove and disappeared into the pool.
