Voyage Is Ready

"Then why don't you hurry up and head to the sea as soon as possible?" Gu Yuena exclaimed as she kicked Anping, who was lying on the bed like a salted fish.

Anping retorted angrily, "I have been tired from riding in the car for so many days. Can't you let me rest for a day first?"

Gu Yuena smiled and remarked, "Of course, you can rest. To prevent you from sneaking off to the sea alone, I've decided to just watch you rest."

Although Anping had entertained the idea, he merely pondered it and whispered, "When did my credibility become so low?"

Seeing that Gu Yuena had no intention of leaving, Anping couldn't be bothered to say more. He closed his eyes and began to rest while Gu Yuena kept staring.

The next day, Anping was awakened by Gu Yuena. Confused, he wondered why Gu Yuena seemed more anxious than him, considering they were about to embark on a sea journey.

After a casual meal, Anping entered his alchemy laboratory and started crafting the necessary props for the sea voyage.

Mistaking the will of the universe for the will of the planet, Anping believed his initial breakthrough caused no trouble due to sheer luck. In matters concerning his life and safety, leaving things to chance wasn't an option in his view.

Deciding to go overseas for this breakthrough wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea for Anping. Since becoming a first-level wizard, he had contemplated how to approach his second breakthrough. Going to sea appeared to be the safest option for now. If he had the capability, he would even consider leaving the planet for the breakthrough.

With the decision to conduct this breakthrough at sea, all necessary preparations had been made. Only the prop for sea travel was missing due to the required materials.

Having prepared the drawings long ago and revised them multiple times, Anping took out all the necessary materials and began crafting.

The first task was the vehicle's core component—the power unit. Engraving the most magic pattern arrays, especially for the power and energy storage systems, made it the most complex part. Considering its dual use in sea and air, the power system added another layer of complexity.

As the most intricate part, it naturally required more time. From shaping to engraving all the magic pattern arrays, Anping spent half a day completing this crucial stage of production.

Next is the outer shell. In Anping's perspective, the outer shell should not only be robust and discreet but also possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Additionally, it needs to offer the convenience of zooming in and out for portability.

To accommodate the three functions of sea, land, and air, Anping embraced a deformable design concept when crafting the appearance drawings. A mere transformation would be straightforward, given the plethora of corresponding drawings in the spiritual library.

However, the aesthetics differ significantly from those of this world. The focus here is on magic cabins, magic carpets, mechanical airships, brooms, and the like. Direct replication would seem too unconventional.

To maintain a more conventional feel, Anping delved into the structures of various vehicles in the Douluo Continent during his time at the Sun Moon Academy. This effort culminated in the completion of the current design drawings. On land, it resembles a conventional car; when airborne, it morphs into an airplane; for sea travel, it transforms into the shape of a ship or submarine. Most conveniently, when storage is needed, it can shrink into a cube the size of a Rubik's Cube.

While this part required crafting numerous components, it was the easiest for Anping. From production and magic pattern engraving to final assembly, the entire process took a mere two hours.

Having studied alchemy for many years, Anping found alchemical vehicles relatively straightforward among the tools he could refine, ensuring no surprises.

With the installation of the final power unit, the alchemical vehicle was now complete. The laboratory's size wasn't suitable for testing, prompting Anping to leave the laboratory upon completion.

Upon seeing Anping reenter the room, Gu Yuena, lying on the bed engrossed in her mobile phone, raised her head and inquired, "Are you ready?"

Anping shook the cube in his hand in front of Gu Yuena, stating, "Yes, it's done."

Gu Yuena tossed her phone aside, sat up, took the cube from Anping, examined it closely, and exclaimed, "Just this small cube can be used for sea travel? Are you sure?"

Anping stated confidently, "When you see me doing something don't be sure about anything, you'll know when the time comes."

"Alright, now that it's done, let's prepare to leave. I'll go change clothes." Saying this, Gu Yuena vanished into Anping's room with a silver flash.

After Gu Yuena changed her clothes, the two went to buy some food, mainly for Gu Yuena. The last breakthrough to the first-level wizard took a whole week. Anping wasn't certain whether the second-level wizard breakthrough would take longer this time.

At the seaside, Gu Yuena pushed her long hair back, gazing at Anping with anticipation. "Please start your performance. Let me see how you use this small cube to go to sea."

Anping said nothing, tossing the cube into the air. He controlled it with his mental power, initiating its transformation.

Under Gu Yuena's surprised gaze, the palm-sized square silently expanded, shaping into a ship over five meters wide and more than 20 meters long.

Choosing a cliff location to avoid attention in Skysea City, Anping floated the ship flush with the cliff using the floating system, instead of placing it directly into the sea.

After fully deploying the vehicle, Anping made an inviting gesture, saying, "Miss Gu Yuena, please board."

As the two ascended the escalator to board, Anping activated the vehicle's stealth system, rendering the entire ship invisible.

Controlling the ship to move away from the cliff's edge, Anping directed it to land on the sea after a few hundred meters.

While Anping studied the map to find their location, Gu Yuena explored the ship, discovering that it was equipped with all necessary living facilities—a true mobile residence.

After touring all the rooms, Gu Yuena returned to the deck and found Anping closing the map. She asked in puzzlement, "I walked around the ship, but why didn't I find the cockpit?"

Anping, adjusting the ship's direction, replied, "This isn't a regular ship. What's the need for a cockpit?"

"Alright, I'm going to rest. Call me when we get there." With that, she turned around and left.
