I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Seeing his attitude, Xue Jing understood that the man must have communicated with the police and knew about the incident that had just occurred.

"So it's Director Chen... Is there something you need from me?"

Xue Jing asked with a smile. novel hosted m,vle mpyr

Feeling the warmth and good intentions in Xue Jing's tone, Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

He weighed his words and said, "It's like this, Mr. Xue, it's our honor that you chose to board the 'Infinite Nova'..."

Chen Liang inwardly groaned.

Originally, after being notified by the Public Security Bureau about the incident at the dock and learning that this murderous youth who had slain more than a dozen people was a passenger on the cruise, the captain decided to refund the ticket and politely decline to let him board for safety reasons.

But just as the refund process was underway, the captain received a phone call. After nodding and bowing to the person on the other end, he told Chen Liang that the ticket couldn't be refunded and that they must allow the youth to board.

So, the daunting task of placating this murderous maniac and ensuring he didn't cause any security issues on board was forcibly assigned to him, the Security Chief.

As a retired soldier, Chen Liang had a better understanding than most of what it meant to be facing a terrifying powerhouse who could single-handedly kill opponents unscathed despite being up against dozens of armed men.

On a cruise ship of that nature, if the individual so wished, it probably wouldn't be difficult to kill thousands of people on board.

That such an extremely dangerous person was required to board left Chen Liang puzzled about the nature of the phone call the captain received.

After laying a lot of groundwork with pleasant conversation, Chen Liang continued:

"...If there's anything about our service that falls short, or if you encounter any dissatisfaction aboard, please let me know directly. I'll do my utmost to fulfill all your requests..."

Xue Jing blinked and looked at Chen Liang, who had maintained the upright posture of someone being lectured by his superior since appearing. He patted the seat beside him and laughed:

"Don't just stand there, take a seat and let's talk, Director Chen."

Chen Liang froze for a moment, hesitated, then slowly walked over and sat beside Xue Jing, still seating cautiously with just half of his backside on the chair, his back straight and hands on his thighs.

"Don't worry, Director Chen, after all, I'm not some demon... Quite the opposite, I'm a law-abiding, outstanding citizen of Qingcheng."

Xue Jing patted Chen Liang's shoulder.

"I won't make any trouble for you, rest assured."

Chen Liang laughed awkwardly, and although not quite believing Xue Jing's words, felt slightly more at ease after hearing this promise.

Realizing that Xue Jing appeared to be a very normal person with a good temper from the way he spoke, Chen Liang also relaxed a great deal and began to chat with him.

"Mr. Xue, let me introduce to you the 'Infinite Nova'. It's one of the largest and most luxurious cruise ships of the Fifth Urban Circle..."

...

Xue Jing was undoubtedly a good listener; as Chen Liang described the cruise ship, he didn't zone out but was attentive, asking timely and engaging questions that greatly satisfied Chen Liang's desire to express himself.

Chen Liang had initially been wary and afraid, but gradually started to feel that the young man in front of him might indeed be a good kid, so he became much more open.

It wasn't until the time for ticket inspection arrived that Chen Liang reluctantly stopped chatting with Xue Jing, personally escorting him through the ticket checkpoint and onto the ship, going through security.

During the process, Xue Jing obediently entrusted his Crouching Rabbit Sword to the staff for safekeeping. Chen Liang knew this action didn't have much actual significance, since even without the sword, Xue Jing remained an extremely dangerous entity.

However, this gesture signified that Xue Jing was willing to follow the rules, which invisibly reassured many on board, including Chen Liang.

The 'Infinite Nova' was so vast it seemed excessive. As soon as Xue Jing stepped onto the deck, if not for a slight swaying, it was hard to tell he was on a ship at all—it felt more like he'd entered a small-scale city.

The first thing to catch his eye was an amusement park-like area with a large swimming pool and water slides, where many people in swimsuits frolicked about.

As Chen Liang led Xue Jing towards the interior corridors, he said:

"Qingcheng is one of the 'Infinite Nova' stops. We'll be docking here for half a day for passengers to go ashore... You're free to move about after placing your luggage in your cabin. Just be sure to be on board by six in the evening."

"There are fifteen restaurants on board, almost every specialty dish from various places is available. As a first-class passenger, you may dine at any restaurant. Additionally, the captain has specifically instructed that all special dishes and extra services are available to you without additional charges..."

Walking for a while, Xue Jing followed Chen Liang to the inside of the ship where it was akin to a super-sized shopping center. Looking up, it was dozens of stories high, seemingly endless.

"There are twenty-six decks on the ship, twenty elevators located in various places, and many walls have maps hanging on them, so there's no need to worry about getting lost."

"Your suite is on the twenty-second floor..."

As Xue Jing listened to the introduction, his expression suddenly changed.

"Director Chen, this will do. I can find my room on my own," he said.

Hearing this, Chen Liang stepped forward to press the elevator button for Xue Jing.
