Chapter 2280: Chapter 2300: The Enjoyment Journey on a Top-Rated Ship_1

"Yo, the price isn’t cheap, is it?"

Lin Chen and the two others stood at the ticket office, examining the information about boat tickets written on the wall.

"Class C passenger vessel, the price isn’t expensive, but at a glance, the conditions are poor, and it’s a vessel with lower security. If such a ship really encounters a Great Demon attack, it’s basically a dead end, not a single person could escape."

Purple Cloud looked at the ticket prices and asked with a bit of curiosity, "Aren’t all Sea Demons in the sea? Why use marine transport instead of aerial flying boats?"

The middle-aged man next to them said with a laugh, "It’s not that we don’t want to fly, we just can’t."

Purple Cloud turned her head and said with a laugh, "Why can’t we fly?"

The middle-aged man explained, "The principle of flying boats is levitation plus spiritual power-driven flight, but within a large range of the Endless Sea, there’s violent energy interference, making it impossible for the Array Formation to operate smoothly. Either the spiritual power is insufficient, causing the vessel to stall, or there’s an overload of spiritual power leading to the destruction of the Array Formation. If a flying boat is in midair, regardless of whether it stalls or the Array Formation is destroyed, wouldn’t it just drop into the sea? Then wouldn’t everyone drown?"

"Since flying boats can’t operate, we have to use marine transport. Marine vessels need Spirit Stones as power to drive the ship’s axle, which can move the ship forward. Even if there are problems, Cultivators can manually rotate to drive the ship, allowing it to steady and not be stranded in the sea. That’s the fundamental reason for marine transport."

Purple Cloud said with a laugh, "So that’s the case. I was wondering earlier whether traveling in the sky wouldn’t be more convenient and less likely to attract Sea Demons?"

The middle-aged man said with a laugh, "Traveling in the sky or on the sea, to Sea Demons, there’s hardly a difference. Powerful Sea Demons can fly freely above and below the sea. If you do run into Sea Demons, there’s no difference whether you are at sea or in the air, and it’s said there are quite a few powerful bird Demons, extremely formidable, that will attack targets in the sky. So, traveling through the air might not be safer than by sea."

Purple Cloud said thank you, "I understand now, thank you for the advice."

The middle-aged man warmly asked, "Is this your first time here?"

Lin Chen joined the conversation, "Yes, we’re just looking at the boat ticket info."

The middle-aged man said with a laugh, "Looking at the three of you, I guess you’re not worried about the cost of the tickets. I suggest you take the Sea King. It’s a bit more expensive, but safer. And also, the services provided on the ship are top-notch, extremely enjoyable, and won’t make your journey dull."

Lin Chen’s eyesight scanned the ticket information, "I didn’t see this Sea King you mentioned."

The middle-aged man chuckled, "The passenger vessels on this route are divided into three classes: A, B, and C. But actually, there’s a special class above A. However, the special class ships aren’t scheduled regularly, they usually operate only for some important events."

"This Sea King belongs to the special class. It’s said that aboard are some senior management from Eastern Brilliance visiting the Northern Sea for some visits and negotiations. Therefore, for such an occasion, they start up the Sea King for a more luxurious journey."

"This information is currently being shared only within certain circles. The well-informed have already bought their Sea King tickets, all premium cabin tickets. By the time the Sea King tickets are open for public sale, it’s probable that only medium and low-class cabins will be left."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Where can I buy tickets for this Sea King then?"

The middle-aged man said with a laugh, "I can take you to buy them. Don’t worry, I’m just a passenger, not an intermediary or a scammer. What I’ve just said, you can check with the ticketing clerk upfront and verify. Although the tickets aren’t openly for sale now, he’s certainly in the know."

Purple Cloud asked, "This ship belongs to the special class, so what’s the difference between it and a class A ship?"

The middle-aged man answered, "Class A, B, and C are real passenger vessels, but the special class is not just a passenger ship, it has all the entertainment activities you can think of. On a passenger ship, you can only count the days in your room waiting to dock, but on a special class ship, you can enjoy all sorts of eating, drinking, and entertainment. You might not even have enough fun before the ship reaches its destination."

"In addition, there’s the matter of security. A special class ship has Great Powers on board for protection, making it much safer. It’s more expensive, but you get what you pay for."

Lin Chen readily said, "Okay, then please, big brother, help us out. We’ll take the Sea King."

The middle-aged man readily said with a laugh, "No trouble at all, it’s just a small favor. Follow me."

Lin Chen and the three followed the middle-aged man as they walked past the ticket office and entered through a side door. At a ticket window that did not appear to be active, the middle-aged man leaned closer and knocked on the window.

"Hey, waiter, we need three tickets for the Sea King... Oh right, what kind of cabin would you like?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The best."

Lin Chen didn’t lack for Spirit Stones. Since it’s a journey for enjoyment, naturally, it has to be the best.

The window opened, and a young man asked, "You know the rules for buying tickets, right?"

The middle-aged man took out a card and handed it to the young man, "I’m a member of the commerce guild, I know the rules."

The young man checked the card, noted something, and then said, "Premium cabins, single rooms, one million Spirit Stones each, how many do you need?"
