83: Chapter 83, Fourth Tier! Yangtze River Cruise Ship!

At the moment he pressed confirm, the entire world seemed to fall silent for an instant.

Immediately after, an indescribable blinding white light erupted from the cockpit console, instantly swallowing the entire "Many Children, Many Blessings"!

"Rumble—!"

A vibration a hundred times more violent than any previous promotion came from the deck beneath his feet.

It felt as if the entire ship had been seized by an invisible giant hand and then shaken violently!

"Ah!"

"I can't stand up!"

"Hold on! Everyone hold on!"

On the deck, The girls instantly fell into chaos.

The violent shaking caused them to sway and stumble, making it impossible to stand firm.

Yun Jinxin and the little girls from the Twin Sisters cried out as they huddled together.

Su Mei and Chu Mengyao couldn't care less about their image, gripping the nearest ship railings tightly to barely avoid being thrown overboard.

Even Xia Zhi, the strongest among The girls, had to bend her knees slightly and lower her center of gravity to the minimum just to maintain her balance.

Shock and horror were written all over their faces.

Because the warship beneath their feet was undergoing an inconceivable transformation in a way that completely defied the laws of physics!

The width of the hull remained at over twenty meters, unchanged.

But the length, like magical noodles, was frantically extending forward and backward!

Fifty meters... eighty meters... one hundred meters... one hundred and fifty meters!

The three-story hull, which was already extremely massive, reached a whole new level of visual impact after its length surged to one hundred and fifty meters!

Although it was still a three-story structure, the floor space of each level had become incredibly vast.

Overall, it no longer looked like a ship, but more like a magnificent, grand mobile palace floating on the sea!

The vibration lasted for nearly a full minute before slowly subsiding.

When the dust settled and The girls stood firm with lingering fear, looking around, they were all so shocked that their mouths hung open, unable to say a word for a long time.

"This... oh my god..."

Su Mei leaned against the railing, looking at the endless wide deck beneath her feet, her voice trembling.

"This... this has probably already reached the size of a Yangtze-Class Cruise Ship!"

A Yangtze-Class Cruise Ship!

What kind of concept was that?

It was a behemoth that could accommodate thousands of people, integrating dining, entertainment, and lodging!

"So... so big..."

Yun Jinxin covered her small mouth, her beautiful eyes wide and round; she felt like Alice falling into a land of giants, everything around her becoming so surreal.

"It's so luxurious, it feels like a vacation at sea. So beautiful."

The Twin Sisters were even more excited, their little faces flushed red as they looked at the newly appeared designs on the hull, full of smooth lines and a sense of technology, their eyes filled with shining stars.

Where was the apocalypse survival in this?

This was clearly enjoying a top-tier luxury cruise journey!

Just as everyone was immersed in this massive shock, a cold and majestic system notification sounded simultaneously in everyone's minds without warning!

But this time, it wasn't a regional announcement.

It was a World Announcement that echoed throughout the entire world!

【World Announcement!】

【Congratulations to Survivor 'Li Taiping' of District 91. His ship is the first to be promoted to rank four, becoming the world's first rank-four vessel!】

【In recognition of his outstanding achievements, the 'World Ship Rankings' are now officially open!】

...

World Announcement?!

When these words sounded in their minds, all The girls on the "Many Children, Many Blessings" were stunned once again.

They looked at each other, seeing a hint of bewilderment and... indescribable excitement in each other's eyes!

Every time Li Taiping had caused a stir before, it was only announced within the District 91 novice area; although it caused a huge sensation, the scope of influence was ultimately limited.

But this time, it was the whole world!

It was an announcement directed at all the billions of Survivor still alive within this mysterious world!

What did this mean?

It meant that from this moment on, the name Li Taiping would no longer just be a legend of District 91, but a myth echoing throughout the entire world!

Almost at the same time the announcement sounded, another system notification rang specifically in Li Taiping's mind.

【Congratulations to Survivor 'Li Taiping' for achieving the world-class achievement 'First to Promote a Rank-Four Ship,' obtaining the special title: world-renowned!】

【Title: world-renowned】

【Effect: Condenses Human Race Luck; your luck receives a slight boost.】

【Evaluation: From this day forth, your name is known to all, and unknown to none.】

"Luck boost?"

Li Taiping rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

Luck is a mysterious thing, but it's definitely a good thing.

Not bad, he was very satisfied with this title.

Compared to Li Taiping's composure, the 【World Chat Channel】 had completely exploded.

All Survivor around the world,

regardless of which district they were in, whether they were urgently fishing on the edge of the Treasure Chest Sea or shivering in the Extreme Cold Sea Region,

or struggling to survive in some other eerie sea region, all received this earth-shattering news at this moment.

The World Channel, which had been silent for a long time, was instantly flooded with a massive amount of information!

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Am I seeing this right? A rank-four ship?! How long has it even been?!"

"Li Taiping from District 91? Who is this guy? He must be cheating! He's definitely cheating!"

"Outrageous! This is absolutely ridiculous! The most badass boss in our district just reached rank three and is still worrying about gathering materials for the next rank! And this guy is already at rank four?"

"Doesn't promoting to rank four require three Excellent Grade items and a massive amount of good grade materials? Where on earth did he get so many resources? Boss, please share a guide!"

"Yeah, yeah, could the boss post a guide on the forum? As long as you're willing to share your experience, we're willing to follow you as the Co-Lord of the Human Race!"

"What Co-Lord of the Human Race? Don't talk nonsense, person above! This is our District 91's Top Rank Boss, the current world number one!

He already has a title, it's 'Ten Thousand Generations Monarch'! The benevolent Ten Thousand Generations Monarch!"

A player from District 91 spoke up proudly.

"Exactly! He's from our District 91! Boss Li Taiping also has the 'Far Ahead' title! There's even a new 'world-renowned' title on the rankings; he's definitely an overpowered super boss player!"

"Ten Thousand Generations Monarch? Far Ahead? world-renowned? My god, these titles are more domineering one after another!"

"Worship the boss! Does the boss still need a leg ornament? The kind that can warm the bed!"

...

The World Channel was buzzing with discussion, with all sorts of envious, jealous, and hateful comments flying by.

The name Li Taiping spread to every corner of the world in just a few seconds, truly becoming known to all and unknown to none.

However, as the center of it all, Li Taiping himself had no interest in the outside clamor.

He didn't even bother to take a look at the World Channel.

In his view, these praises and discussions from behind a screen were meaningless.

Immediately, he opened the newly activated 【World Ship Rankings】.

The ranking interface was simple yet filled with a sense of pressure.

At the very top, the shimmering golden first place was indeed himself.

【No.1】

【Captain: Li Taiping (District 91)】

【Ship: Rank-Four Vessel】

【Titles: Ten Thousand Generations Monarch, Far Ahead, world-renowned】

Following his name was a long string of glittering golden titles, which indeed looked very prestigious.

Li Taiping moved his gaze away from his name and scanned downward.

From the second place onward, the information on the list appeared much more normal.

【No.2】

【Captain: Alexander Smitch (District 78)】

【Ship: Rank-Three · Mjölnir (Click for details)】

...

【No.3】

【Captain: Anonymous (District 13)】

【Ship: Rank-Three Vessel (Information hidden)】

...

He took a cursory glance; from the second place down, they were all rank-three vessels without exception.

Among the billions of people in the world, there would always be some with heaven-defying luck or extraordinary abilities.

Li Taiping wasn't surprised that they could gather the resources to reach rank three.

But this also precisely proved just how massive his current leading advantage was.

Don't be fooled by the fact that rank three and rank four are only one rank apart; the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

A rank-three vessel only requires five hundred units of common materials and ten units of good grade materials; for top players or large factions, they could still scrape it together if they gritted their teeth.

But a rank-four vessel requires three Excellent Grade items and a massive amount of good grade materials!

The difficulty is an exponential surge!

Especially those three Excellent Grade items; at this stage, they were definitely as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, things that could be encountered but not sought.

It could be said that by his own strength alone, he had already pulled away from all the Survivor in the world by an insurmountable gap!

This feeling of leaving the whole world behind was indeed... quite satisfying.
