Wang Zhifan's primary task was to handle the Great Horn Shark beneath his feet, followed by dealing with the Jinlan currency he had left.

Normally, with his previous approach, once a dungeon ended, he wouldn't care about these things he no longer needed. But ever since the incident about two months ago when the dungeon difficulty spiraled out of control, he realized that the so-called dungeon world isn't as simple as players think.

The dungeon world might not be a creation by some great entity for the extraordinary game; rather, it might have always existed, with the extraordinary game merely utilizing it as a venue. The Wuji Sect dungeon world basically proves this idea, after all, Wang Zhifan doesn't believe he has the influence to make the extraordinary game operate a dungeon solely for him.

"Old Crocodile, I will be leaving the Great Horn Shark to attend to other matters for a while. I'll leave this ship under your command. You can sail it as a pirate or do something else; it's up to your discretion, just make sure you don't sink it."

At this moment, inside the cabin of the Great Horn Shark, the crocodile-man giant Gu Gucha, who had just finished praying to the Sea God statue, looked a bit puzzled, completely unexpected that this captain would hand over the Great Horn Shark to him.

"Captain, you..."

Immediately, he wanted to ask Wang Zhifan for details, but the latter interrupted him, stopping him from asking more, and handed him a large bag of Gold Coins.

"These Gold Coins are my commission for entrusting you with the Great Horn Shark, and also as thanks for helping me find the Forbidden Fruit Island."

After passing the heavy bag of Gold Coins into the hands of this crocodile-man giant, Wang Zhifan proceeded to pat his shoulder, vanishing in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he was back on the deck, where, at this moment, amidst the Storm Sea, the NPCs were diligently maneuvering the ship, not daring to slack off even a bit.

Wang Zhifan knew he couldn't interfere with their work in such a sea area, so he personally went over and slipped their commissions into their pockets, while informing them that Gu Gucha would be leading them in the coming days.

Their reaction was just like Gu Gucha's, very surprised and shocked, wanting to ask Wang Zhifan his reasons for this decision, but Wang Zhifan clearly didn't have time to elaborate. He merely patted their shoulders and vanished.

This time, he transferred himself to Forbidden Fruit Island using dream-entering and dream-breaking, then found a grove where he started dealing with his remaining Gold Coins.

At the start of this dungeon, he acquired the wealthy identity as a VIP player, instantly gaining a huge sum of one million Jinlan Coins. This money was very helpful; he spent it in many places. However, perhaps due to his frugality, by the dungeon's conclusion, he still had more than half of it, amounting to several hundred thousand Jinlan Coins.

This money was stated to be non-transferable out of this dungeon world upon acquiring the wealthy identity, removed from his personal space upon leaving the dungeon. So he opted to bury all these Gold Coins on Forbidden Fruit Island to avoid wastage.

The choice of this location was due to its position within the Storm Sea, making it extremely hard to find, coupled with its shifting positions periodically, with even a seemingly powerful Multi-eyed Whale guarding it, maxing out its security.

Utilizing his weapon, he quickly dug a hole on the ground, buried the remaining Gold Coins, completed the disguise and marking, then Wang Zhifan took out the sea-blue fruit, the Sea God Forbidden Fruit, from his pocket, pondering on it.

"Should I actually eat this thing? Is the risk of divine punishment worth challenging?"

Currently, he was indeed somewhat torn over this issue; from a safety perspective, as he didn't worship the Sea God, eating this thing rashly would certainly pose a risk of divine punishment, and the danger level of this punishment remained unknown to him. To be safe, he ought to abandon this hidden reward. Yet, recalling his near three-month sea prison stint for this thing stirred an unrelenting anger within him; forsaking a potential benefit for unenlightened completion did not sit well, he felt it utterly unwise.

"Forget it... I'll decide whether to eat it at the end."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Wang Zhifan felt it's best to decide at a pivotal moment, due to his ability to leave the dungeon any time with a thought. To minimize risk, he could choose to consume the fruit a second before departing; even if divine punishment strikes, he could swiftly escape. Based on his encounter with an ancient god about two months ago, divine punishment might not instantly kill him, he'll likely have a moment to activate a thought.

Having completed deliberation on this matter, Wang Zhifan quickly left Forbidden Fruit Island. Donning the Wind Concealing Conical Hat, he ventured out into the Storm Sea outside, intending to test the gains from this dungeon on site, since it's not easy to find a ready-made ocean upon returning to reality.

He then took a treasure chest from his personal space, placing it on the ice beneath his feet, opening the chest to retrieve three items inside.

The first was a floating, miniature-status, exceptional-grade Multi-Masted Ship. The actual size of this item was immensely large, making it impossible for players to store it in their personal space as is; only in this special state could it be transferred.
