Chapter 40: 40. The Sound of the Sea

Translator: 549690339

In the days of vacationing by the seaside, Lin Zichen only did two things every day.

One was to have Shen Qinghan do various underwater actions in the sea during the day, while he observed from the side, trying to uncover the secrets Shen Qinghan might be hiding.

The other was to dive into the sea at night when no one was around and intensely train to improve his various abilities in the water.

Several days passed by just like that.

Time quickly brought them to the last evening of their seaside vacation. UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

That evening, after finishing dinner, Lin Zichen lay on his bed, watching videos on his phone, learning all kinds of knowledge related to the ocean.

Not long after he started watching, Shen Qinghan sent him a message on WeChat.

[Han Han: Xiao Chen, come over to my room now, I have a surprise for you!]

[Zi Chen: Okay, coming right now.]

After replying to the message, Lin Zichen got out of bed and headed to Shen Qinghan’s room to see what surprise she had prepared.

“Han Han, open the door.”

In front of the door, Lin Zichen knocked and spoke.

Ever since the last time when he entered the room without knocking and accidentally saw Shen Qinghan wearing a diaper, he had become much more cautious.

“The door isn’t locked, just come on in.”

Shen Qinghan’s voice came from the room, carrying a hint of nervousness and shyness.

Lin Zichen sensed the unusual tone of her voice and became very curious.

What kind of surprise had Shen Qinghan prepared that made her voice sound so nervous and shy?

With that thought, he opened the door and walked in.

What he saw was Shen Qinghan standing by the bed wearing a swimsuit, her face flushed as she shyly watched him enter.

The swimsuit was different from the one she wore to the beach during the day.

It looked more normal, more revealing, not much different from just wearing underwear.

“Xiao Chen, do you think it looks good?” Shen Qinghan suppressed the shyness in her heart, walked up to Lin Zichen, and twirled around to show off her swimsuit-clad figure.

This swimsuit had been prepared by Xu Meng when she was at home, thinking she would wear it after arriving at the seaside.

Unfortunately, she was too embarrassed to wear it; throughout the whole vacation by the seaside, she hadn’t worn it even once.

And for that reason, feeling that it would be a waste not to wear it, she decided to put it on in her room for Lin Zichen to see, hoping to get some sort of feedback.

“It looks very good, particularly suited for you to wear.”

Lin Zichen took a few glances at Shen Qinghan in her swimsuit and gave her this very honest answer.

“Really?”

“Really.”

Lin Zichen wasn’t speaking against his conscience; what he said was all true.

After all, Shen Qinghan in her swimsuit, whether it was her face or body, was incredibly perfect, and they matched together beautifully.

If she were to walk along the outside beach, she’d get a second glance from at least 80% of the people.

“The sound, I heard a sound. Just as I dived to the seabed, strange sounds continuously echoed in my ears, so strange that they were a bit terrifying.”

“What sound?”

“I don’t understand, it might have been a language I don’t recognize. All I know is that it was a woman’s voice, very real, echoing non-stop in my ears until I surfaced.”

Shen Qinghan said with a face far from relieved.

Lin Zichen listened, becoming even more puzzled. A woman’s voice? A language he didn’t understand? Constantly echoing in the ears? How come I, who was diving too, didn’t hear a thing?

“Let’s go, Xiao Chen, let’s hurry back. I don’t want to stay on this beach any longer. I keep feeling a chill on my back, it’s kind of scary.”

Shen Qinghan said with a face full of fear.

Seeing her so scared, Lin Zichen didn’t linger on the beach, quickly taking her back to their sea-view room.

Late at night.

On the bed.

Lin Zichen hadn’t been able to sleep, his mind was full of the thing Shen Qinghan told him — hearing a woman’s voice while diving.

The more he thought about it, the more his spine tingled, uncontrollably drifting toward the idea of water ghosts.

But soon, he realized that all these were meaningless speculations, the more he thought about it, the more time he wasted.

So, in order not to keep thinking about it, he took out his phone and started browsing current news online.

Before long, he came across an unexpected piece of news.

In Shanhai City, traces of giant mutant rats had appeared again!

A fishing enthusiast went to the riverside for night fishing and was carried away by a giant mutant rat that suddenly appeared; his fate, dead or alive, remained unknown.

After reading this news, Lin Zichen was suddenly filled with a sense of urgency. Considering that he was too restless to sleep anyway, he decided to get out of bed and train.

And so... he got out of bed and began his training.

[You’ve done 1000 weighted push-ups, Qi-Blood +2000, arm muscle strength +2000, chest muscle strength +2000, push-up proficiency +1000]

[You’ve done 1000 weighted sit-ups, Qi-Blood +2000, abdominal muscle strength +2000, sit-up proficiency +1000]

[You’ve done 1000 weighted squats, Qi-Blood +2000, leg muscle strength +2000, squat proficiency +1000]

[Your Biological Level has advanced to Common Tier Five]

As he trained, Lin Zichen was thrilled to realize he had actually evolved!

His Biological Level had evolved from Fourth Order to Common Tier Five!

Common Tier Five, a level that could contend with an adult giant mutant rat!

“I wonder how much those three basic attributes have increased; I need to test it out...” he thought.

Thinking this, Lin Zichen immediately took out a measurement tool from his luggage and couldn’t wait to go outside to test his body’s data.

After about half an hour, the data for all three basic attributes were measured.

100-meter sprint in just 3.64 seconds.

Vertical jump reach of 6.98 meters.

Able to lift a car weighing around 1600kg with one hand.

Compared to when he had just broken through to Fourth Order, the improvements in the data were significant.

The 100-meter sprint time was cut by 0.85 seconds, the vertical jump height increased by 1.33 meters, and the weight he could lift with one hand increased by 510kg.
