"Alright, just sign this contract, I reckon I won't be back anytime soon," Mu Rufeng handed a contract to Deputy Zhao.
This contract was drafted by Mu Rufeng yesterday under the rules of a Contract.
It appointed Deputy Zhao as the Acting Captain, authorizing him to exercise his rights, but he was to consult Mu Rufeng on certain major matters.
If Mu Rufeng was not in the Mysterious World, then Deputy Zhao should consult Lilith.
It included many restrictive clauses, effectively keeping Deputy Zhao tightly under control.
After reading the contract, Deputy Zhao did not hesitate and immediately signed it.
"Do well, and there will be promotions and pay raises in your future," Mu Rufeng said, holding the contract and then patted Deputy Zhao on the shoulder.
"Yes, Captain, I will definitely work hard to manage Gluttonous Cruise well," Deputy Zhao solemnly pledged, patting his chest.
"No, no, no, you are the Captain now, Captain Zhao," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, I definitely won't let you down," said Deputy Zhao, excitedly.
For over ten years, he had finally become the Captain of the Gluttonous Cruise.
Honestly, having worked under Zhu Shixuan for more than a decade and frequently subjected to scolding and beatings regardless of the occasion, he had hardly any dignity left.
Now, he had finally risen to be his own master.
"Ah, right, Mr. Mu, this is for you," Deputy Zhao suddenly produced a Gold Coin and handed it to Mu Rufeng.
"What's this?" Mu Rufeng asked, puzzled.
"Mr. Mu, as I have mentioned before, sailing for three days will bring us to a special place."
"But now, you probably won't be able to go, Mr. Mu, yet you are still qualified, so I had to give this Gold Coin to you."
"With this Gold Coin, you can travel there; it's a very interesting place, perfect for you," Deputy Zhao explained.
"Oh?" Mu Rufeng suddenly became interested and then reached out to take the Gold Coin.
[Gold Coin of Golden City]: A special Gold Coin made by Golden City and held by the Gluttonous Cruise.
Effect: A special item. When Gluttonous Cruise reaches a special station, one can use this Gold Coin to enter Golden City.
Note: If the holder is a Contractor and keeps it for more than thirty days, they may use this Gold Coin to summon an instance to enter Golden City.
"Golden City? Instance summoning? What kind of place is this?" Mu Rufeng looked at Deputy Zhao and asked.
"Captain, the rules restrict what I can disclose about Golden City, but I can only say that it is a place most people are eager to visit."
"Of course, there are risks involved, but no worries, now you are the de facto controller of Gluttonous Cruise, with a unique status, and you can leave anytime after entering," Deputy Zhao explained.
"Very good, I ," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
No matter the instance, Mu Rufeng, always unafraid, now saw this instance summoning as a means to level up faster.
Mu Rufeng stored the Gold Coin securely and patted Deputy Zhao on the shoulder.
Indeed, he had chosen his subordinate exceptionally well.
Just as Deputy Zhao began to speak, suddenly, a thick fog appeared over the sky of the Treasure Tower branch in Qingshan City.
Following that, amid the fog, an even more magnificent and vast Treasure Tower slowly emerged.
"Crab Demon? It has been inactive for over a hundred years; waking up today is indeed peculiar."
Here it comes, the Tower Master of Imperial City has descended, and the speaker was none other than the Tower Master of Treasure Tower, the father of Lu Xueqing.
A phantom figure appeared in the sky above, his gaze landing on the Crab Demon.
Then, the gaze shifted again towards Mu Rufeng.
Almost immediately, the Tower Master reached out, and Mu Rufeng, not even the time to react, found himself in a luxurious office.
Standing before him was a middle-aged man.
The man's demeanor was extraordinary, just standing there made Mu Rufeng feel his own insignificance. Compared to him, he felt like a tiny firefly, a sense of inferiority spontaneously arising.
However, the feeling quickly vanished, though he still felt that the man's aura was too outstanding, making Mu Rufeng feel inferior.
"I greet the Tower Master," Mu Rufeng immediately bowed with his hands clasped.
"Young friend, don't be nervous. Have a seat, I will address the Crab Demon first, then we can talk."
As the Tower Master descended, his vast momentum instantly overpowered the Crab Demon.
The Tower Master directly pressed down, covering the branch building and landing heavily on the Crab Demon's shell.
A terrifying shockwave burst forth.
And this time, the Crab Demon's body stiffened and plummeted downward.
"Boom!" A deafening noise erupted.
The Crab Demon's body fell into the seabed, smashing through solid rocks and plunging deep into the earth.
Within hundreds of miles, the sea completely vanished.
The Crab Demon was suppressed, and the phantoms were directly shattered.
Indeed, worthy of being the Tower Master of Treasure Tower, even the Dead Sea Tyrant Crab Demon was easily subdued.
"Quickly depart," commanded Lu Xueqing's voice over the Gluttonous Cruise.
Deputy Zhao reacted, and without another word, immediately maneuvered the Gluttonous Cruise toward a distant area.
Bloody Train also instantly departed from the deck of the Gluttonous Cruise, unfolding phantoms trying to connect to the void.
