The gentle waves rippled, merging the sea and sky into one.

Looking out at the vast ocean before him, Fang Zheng felt a sense of helplessness.

"This really is a troublesome event..."

Fang Zheng had reason to say so. With the help of Nymph's network intrusion, he had easily escaped the secret base. The captors didn't realize their prisoner had vanished until the next morning, searching frantically to no avail. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng, with Nymph and Iona, had already set out to the open sea, following the path provided by the system's quest to start the campaign against the Sea Mist in Area A.

Originally, Fang Zheng thought the campaign would be straightforward—reach the destination, hear a "beep," along with a notification saying "Wild Warships of Sea Mist emerge from the deep sea!" Then a few Warships of Sea Mist would appear, and he, along with Iona and Nymph, would engage them in a clanging and banging shoot-out, and the mission would be complete after they were defeated.
