521 Braveheart’s Bridge Room (1/2)

”I have not misjudged you, young Explorer. To think that you could solve my predicament at such speed. I'm now ready for war. Off you go then. Pay a visit to the Demolition General Frizt. He might need your help,” said Heinz as he patted Jiang Fei's shoulder.

”Yes, commander,” said Jiang Fei as he left. From the looks of it, there would be no more quests from him. The next one should be Frizt.

As soon as he was heading toward Frizt, the entire world flashed in white light and Jiang Fei was logged out of the game. He was too engrossed in his newly obtained equipment that he had completely forgotten to check the time. Luckily the quest that he had got from Heinz was instantly completed.

Jiang Fei woke up in his makeshift hut with palm trees. The sky was still dark as the sun was still under the horizon. He took out some food and water from the ring and ate his breakfast. Although it was not wholesome, it was enough to fill him till he could finish his mission on finding the ship's fragments. He wasted no time and quickly finished his breakfast and continued his search in the vast water.

”Where are we now?” asked Jiang Fei after three hours of surfing on the water. He had completely lost his sense of direction.

”We are located in the Mariana Archipelago. We are arriving at one of the islands soon,” said 0541.

”I see…”

The name Mariana Archipelago was not alien to him. He knew about it as it housed one of the deepest sea trenches in the world.

”Captain, I have picked up a signal. Please hold,” cried 0541 loudly thirty minutes later.

”What is it?”

Jiang Fei's heart sank as he quickly stopped flying. They were current right on top of the Mariana Trench.

”It could be the signal of one of the Braveheart's fragment. I could not identify it as the the signal is too weak,” said 0541.

”Oh man. I hope it's not a false alarm!”

Jiang Fei braced himself to not expect much.

”Captain, request permission to start the high-intensity search!” asked 0541. The little ring was just a support system. Starting the high-tensity search would require a large amount of energy which required Jiang Fei's direct permission to start.

”Start the search!” said Jiang Fei after thinking hard about it.

They were there to search the fragments in the first place. Even though they must save as much energy as they could, it would still be wise to spend some energy to search that faint signal! It was a gamble that Jiang Fei was willing to lose.

”Activating high-intensity search! Relaying the highest signal!”

Woosh!

As expected of the high-intensity search, Jiang Fei could feel powerful waves emitted by the ring. His fingers were vibrating intensely as 0541 directed the signal down into the water.

After ten minutes, Jiang Fei felt the ring suddenly stop emitting waves. Another five minutes later, the ring finally reported.

”Captain. I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” asked 0541.

”Urgh. Gimme the bad one first,” said Jiang Fei as he rolled his eyes.
