Chapter 126 - World Weekly: Endless Seas 01 (1/2)
After the 10 second countdown, Xiao Lou finally had his vision restored. The time in the secret room was late at night and he was at a dock.
Not far away was a luxury cruise s.h.i.+p with bright lights. There was a large number of challengers lining up at the dock and the crowd was bustling. Obviously, everyone’s teams had been split up. Xiao Lou didn’t know the people in line in front and behind him.
Xiao Lou searched the crowd for his teammates. Soon, he met a pair of deep eyes. Yu Hanjiang had just looked back. Since the two people opened Qin Guan’s heart channel before entering the secret room, Xiao Lou immediately spoke in Group Leader Yu’s mind. “Find your place on board first and then meet on the deck.”
Xiao Lou replied, “Okay, I’ll see Group Leader Yu later.”

The crew of the cruise s.h.i.+p were checking the equipment. A moment later, the boarding channel opened and two crew members in formal clothing checked the tickets at the entrance. “Please show your ident.i.ty card and ticket. We need to check your information!”
Xiao Lou opened his card pack and found that a ferry ticket had appeared in it.

Xiao Lou took this card out of his card pack as well as his ident.i.ty card.
The people started to slowly move forward. It was probably because they lost their teammates but most of the challengers were silent. The entire dock was very quiet. The girl standing in front of Xiao Lou was looking back and forth from time to time to find her teammates. The man behind Xiao Lou had probably partic.i.p.ated in the World Weekly more than once. He looked very calm.
Endless Sea required surviving for seven days. This was usually a Spades secret room. Xiao Lou wasn’t good at pure survival rooms but there was Yu Hanjiang. He wasn’t worried about clearing the instance.
After following the crowd for 10 minutes, Xiao Lou saw the red carpet boarding channel. A security guard crew member wearing white gloves smiled at him. “Sir, please show your ticket and ID card.”
Xiao Lou politely handed him the two cards. The man carefully checked it and made a ‘please’ gesture. “Your cabin is on the third floor. Please come over here and turn left up the stairs.”
Xiao Lou used the ferry ticket to find the location. Cabin 309 on the 3rd floor was just around the corner. He pushed open the door and went in, only to encounter a familiar pair of eyes. Yu Hanjiang was staying with him!
Yu Hanjiang saw Xiao Lou push open the door to come in and a trace of gentleness appeared in his eyes. “It seems this trip has double cabins and we are staying in one.”
Xiao Lou sighed with relief and smiled. “Great!”
Yu Hanjiang looked at his smiling face and couldn’t help whispering, “You are very happy?”

Yu Hanjiang’s mouth curved gently. “First rest. Wait until we get on the s.h.i.+p and then find other people.”
Xiao Lou sat down opposite him and looked around.
The conditions of a luxury cruise s.h.i.+p were very good. It was equivalent to a five-star hotel at sea.
The double room Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were a.s.signed to was a balcony room. The cabin had two beds side by side and the white and blue room was clean and tidy. The room had a French window. Pus.h.i.+ng open the window revealed a small balcony with two wicker chairs and a small wooden table. Pa.s.sengers could sit here to drink coffee. The sea breeze was blowing toward them as they saw the sea and enjoyed the leisurely time at sea.

Xiao Lou pushed open the floor to ceiling window and stood on the balcony to look out. In the middle of the night, distant lights shone on the sparkling sea while above him was the bright starry sky. He could see a huge moon and the sound of waves ‘cras.h.i.+ng’ reached his ears. If this wasn’t a secret room then it would be a very relaxed and comfortable journey on the luxury cruise s.h.i.+p.
Yu Hanjiang also went out onto the balcony. The sea breeze was somewhat cold at night. Seeing that Professor Xiao’s hair was blown, Yu Hanjiang spoke with worry. “Go back in. Be careful of catching a cold.”
Xiao Lou nodded, went back to his room to sit down and closed the window. Yu Hanjiang handed Xiao Lou a map. “I just found it in the drawer of the bedside table. It has the distribution of the entire cruise s.h.i.+p.”
Xiao Lou accepted the map and took a closer look.
The luxury cruise s.h.i.+p was seven storeys high. The first floor was the cheapest inner cabin with now windows, the second floor was a sea view room with windows but they couldn’t be opened while the third and fourth floors had sliding type windows with a separate balcony. The fifth floor was luxury suites.
The sixth floor was a dining centre with four restaurants with different themes: barbecue: hotpot, Chinese and Western. There was also a free cafeteria. The seventh floor was the entertainment centre with various cruise entertainment such as sea parachuting, a music themed bar, a sea view cafe, a 4D cinema, a theatre, a c.o.c.ktail venue party, a shopping mall etc.
In addition to marking the location of each entertainment venue, this map also showed the time of some performances.

For example, the theatre’s plays would be performed at 9 a.m. and 14:00 p.m. The band performance in the music bar would start at 22:00 p.m. and end at 3:00 a.m. Every day, free movies would be played at 10:00 a.m., 15:00 p.m. and 20:00 p.m.
The map contained a hint: For pa.s.sengers who want to partic.i.p.ate in recreational activities for free, please go to the booking centre on the third floor of the cruise s.h.i.+p and make an appointment in advance with your ticket and ID card. The captain’s restaurant, the sea parachute, the sea voyage and coffee store are all fee-based services. Please consult on the price.”
After seeing this, Xiao Lou touched his chin and said, “Such a large cruise s.h.i.+p, isn’t 500 challengers too few?”
Yu Hanjiang said, “Usually, a luxury cruise s.h.i.+p carries more than 1,500 pa.s.sengers. I observed that the number of rooms on this cruise s.h.i.+p can accommodate at least 1,000 tourists. The challengers were pulled in and everyone’s rooms should be the same on the basis of fairness.”
Xiao Lou frowned at the cruise s.h.i.+ps’ map. “In other words, the 500 challengers live in the third and fourth floor balcony rooms? The cabins on the first floor, the sea view rooms on the second floor and the suites on the fifth floor should have a high number of free people staying in them?”
Yu Hanjiang nodded. “There is a possibility. There were more than 500 people who just lined up.”
Xiao Lou took a deep breath. “So many free people are arranged to travel with us. Once something happens, the situation will become more chaotic. Moreover, we can’t be sure if there are any hunters among the free people…”
