103: This is a husky, no arguments allowed!

The sea breeze carried a salty, fishy scent, blowing across the ferry that had just completed its "shark-fication" modification.

As everyone's SAN values recovered, the atmosphere on the ship underwent a qualitative change.

The oppressive feeling of potentially going crazy at any moment was gone, replaced by a fanatical cult of personality centered around Chen Du.

It couldn't be helped; the functions of the [resting room of the dead] were simply too incredible.

In this Sea of Despair, Chen Du was not just a tyrant with the power of life and death, but had also become the sole savior in the eyes of these girls.

After all, only by serving this lord well could they get a peaceful night's sleep on that cloud-soft bed.

The bow.

Chen Du leaned lazily against the Bloodwood Throne.

He swirled the freshly filtered iced mint water in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the busy group of beautiful girls on the deck.

"Chen Du, these are grapes I just washed, and I've peeled them for you."

Li Yaozhi approached with a crystal plate, her eyes full of longing.

Ever since she broadened her horizons that night, this cold Study Committee Member seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

To the outside world, she was an unapproachable icy school beauty; in front of Chen Du, she was the epitome of pure desire, so seductive it made one's bones go soft.

"Leave them there." Chen Du casually picked up a piece of translucent fruit and tossed it into his mouth.

Sweet.

Not only were the grapes sweet, but these days of holding absolute power and being surrounded by beauties were even sweeter.

Is this the joy of an apocalyptic overlord? Simple, unadorned, and boring.

Chen Du narrowed his eyes, enjoying the sea breeze.

Suddenly.

A chaotic commotion broke out on one side of the deck.

"Mao Mao! Catch! Good dog... wait, I mean, good ghost!"

Lin Keke was seen wearing a tight-fitting cosplay outfit, waving a large bone in her hand.

And opposite her.

That two-meter-tall, hideous and terrifying Ghoul was currently crouching on the ground with its rear up, drooling all over the place.

In those originally murky eyes filled with bloodlust, there was now... a sense of clear stupidity?

It had originally wanted to bite through this biped's neck in one go.

But the mental imprint from its master in its mind made it tuck its tail between its legs, instantly turning into a Husky.

"Go fetch!"

Just then, Lin Keke threw the bone out with force.

"Roar—!"

The Ghoul let out a roar and charged out on all fours.

The bone hit the deck and skidded along.

The Ghoul slammed on the brakes.

Because of the immense momentum, its claws scraped sparks all across the deck.

Immediately after.

It picked up the bone and trotted back to Lin Keke's side.

Madly wagging its non-existent tail.

"Good boy! So good!"

Lin Keke didn't mind the filth and reached out to pat the Ghoul's bald head.

"I hereby dub you the No. 0819 Guardian Beast of the Ship!"

"Woof!"

The Ghoul actually let out a strange sound resembling a dog's bark.

The girls watching the scene were dumbfounded, their worldviews shattered.

"That works too?!"

Xiao Ai dropped her rag. "That's a Ghoul! A monster that can bite through rebar! She... she's raising it like a Husky?"

"This vibe... is way too broken."

Wang Jia hid behind the mast, shivering. "But looking at it for a while, why does it seem a bit... ugly-cute?"

However, not everyone found it cute.

A high-pitched scream suddenly came from the stern.

"Ah! What the hell! Get away!!"

It turned out Mao Mao had charged too hard and couldn't stop in time, crashing into the canvas of the shower area.

Mist filled the air.

A dazzlingly white body was instantly exposed to the air.

Water droplets slid down those stunning curves, reflecting an ambiguous luster in the sunlight.

"Roar?"

The Ghoul tilted its head with an innocent look.

"Oh my god!"

Xia Xin screamed, covering her vital parts.

She threw the soap in her hand, hitting the Ghoul right in the forehead.

But when she saw the gaze coming from above, her hands covering her chest subtly loosened a bit.

Making that flash of snowy white even more eye-catching.

"Mao Mao! Come back! No running around!"

Lin Keke hurriedly whistled.

Only then did the Ghoul reluctantly withdraw its gaze and run back with the bone in its mouth.

"Whew..."

Still shaken, Xia Xin wrapped her towel tightly, a flush appearing on her cheeks.

She glared indignantly at Chen Du, who was watching the show from his high seat.

The Captain was resting his chin on his hand with a playful look, having no intention of looking away.

"What a large baby kitchen."

Chen Du gave a fair assessment. "It seems the white porridge these past few days wasn't in vain; you haven't lost any meat at all."

Xia Xin was dying of shame and anger, but she felt a strange secret joy in her heart.

Lunchtime.

A faint aroma of rice filled the dining hall.

However, all the girls' faces were as bitter as bitter gourds.

"White porridge again..."

An Nuonuo looked at the clear rice porridge in her bowl, her small face scrunched up like a steamed bun.

She stirred it with a spoon and finally managed to fish out two grains of rice.

"If I keep eating this, I'm going to turn into a rabbit..."

The little loli bit her chopsticks aggrievedly, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I want to eat meat, braised pork, fried chicken legs... waah..."

"Stop dreaming."

Xia Lai gulped down the porridge. "It's good enough to have something to eat. Look at the regional channel; how many people are still drinking urine and eating dirt?"

Be that as it may.

But these formerly pampered school beauties' bodies were indeed severely depleted.

A week of nothing but carbs and pickles had left them craving flavor.

Especially for those who had awakened combat talents, the lack of protein intake was making their bodies feel weak.

An Nuonuo sat next to Chen Du.

She looked at the shredded pickles in her bowl and sighed.

As she breathed, her proud twin peaks were pressed against the edge of the table into an exaggerated shape.

She suddenly moved next to Chen Du with her bowl.

"Captain~"

Max-level "jiazi" voice!

Most of her body was pressed against Chen Du's arm, rubbing against him intentionally or otherwise.

"I really don't have any strength left~"

The little loli blinked her big eyes, looking at Chen Du pitifully. "I can't even fire the cannons... can you give me some meat to eat?"

"Just a little bit is fine..."

Her face was as red as blood, and her eyelashes trembled:

"Tonight... if you don't want a foot massage... breast-stepping can also be discussed..."

After saying this, she almost shrunk under the table.

The ahoge on top of her head curled into a circle in shame.

A master of tea artistry!

This was a blatant flesh-bomb offensive! This little loli had truly been corrupted by hanging around Xia Lai every day!

"An Nuonuo, have you no shame?!"

Lin Keke slammed the table and stood up, filled with righteous indignation. "Such a shameless request... please be sure to include me!"

She rushed over and grabbed Chen Du's other leg.

"Captain! I want meat too! I feel like my Coser soul is withering from hunger!"

"As long as there's meat, I'll even wear that incredibly seductive maid outfit from last time and dance to 'Gokuraku Jodo'!"

"Me too! Me too..."

Facing this group of "female zombies" with green light in their eyes, the corners of Chen Du's mouth curled up slightly.

"Want to eat meat? Sure."

He tapped the air, calling up a sea chart, and pointed his finger at a skull marker.

"As far as I know, there should be a pier near this sea area."

"There's the canned luncheon meat everyone wants, and even... frozen steaks."

Chen Du's golden pupils swept over everyone, his tone eerie.

"But this meal isn't free."

"Those who want to eat must trade their lives for it."
