But as the protector of ordinary people, those Japanese soldiers were among the most ferocious in scrambling for survival. There were only ten lifeboats on this ship, with each boat capable of carrying about 20 people, meaning that at most, only 200 people could board the lifeboats.
At this time, the boat was already tilted very badly, and on the deck, it was already unstable. Mu Yang checked the position, without hesitation, took off his outer jacket, climbed to the bow of the boat, then suddenly jumped down into the sea with a loud splash.
Two legs stretched straight, both hands covering chest, eyes tightly closed and body slightly curled up.
With a loud splash, Moyang's body plunged into the sea. As soon as the downward trend passed, Moyang began to swim vigorously, and after a few seconds, Moyang's head emerged from the water surface.
"Hu, hu" Mu Yang took two deep breaths, got his bearings, and then swam with all his might. He had to get out of this area as quickly as possible, because he knew that if he didn't hurry, the whirlpool created by the sinking ship would likely pull him down to the bottom of the sea.
He swam and swam forward until Moyang felt himself about to lose strength, then he glanced back and found that the big ship had only one bow left high in the air before quickly sinking down.
On the nearby sea surface, only a few lifeboats were left, but now it was dark night, although with the help of the moon, some shadows could be vaguely seen, but they couldn't be seen clearly.
He finally escaped, and Mu Yang let out a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel the chill all over his body. As it was approaching November, the water temperature in the Sea of Japan at night was only around 6 or 7 degrees Celsius. Mu Yang was so cold that he was shivering uncontrollably. He didn't stay there any longer and immediately thought of returning to his own home.
Back home, Mu Yang was still shivering with cold, and quickly took off his wet clothes. This set of clothes was stained with both blood and seawater, and could no longer be worn. Mu Yang directly threw it into the trash bag.
He ran directly into the bathroom naked, turned on the water heater and took a hot bath. Only when he felt his body warm up did Mu Yang come out of the bathroom.
"What the f**k! Which son of a b*tch attacked the cruise ship? Almost got me killed too!" Mu Yang was still in shock and directly cursed.
Muyang directly looked it up on the computer and finally found out that during the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the Americans had been blockading Japan's various sea routes all along until the end of the war when Japan surrendered. This time, the mail ship attack incident was done by the Americans.
Forget it, let's not think about those things for now. Let's take a look at the system rewards for this task instead. I really went all out this time, hope the system gives me something good.
Mo Yang checked the system panel. The first taskbar displayed, "First World Fifth Task Completed, Accept Sixth Task?"
Muyang thought for a moment and decided to wait for now.
Let's take a look at the rewards first, this is what he wants to see most now. Mu Yang clasped his hands together and bowed, "Considering how hard I've worked, give me a big reward." Then he opened the reward column, only to see four options: "Hypnotic Technique, Sleep Inducement Technique, Luring Technique, Capture Technique."
Muyang was stunned after reading it, what were these things, he didn't recognize any of them. He quickly opened the description column, but that damn system still didn't give him any answers.
Mu Yang got up and took out beer and oranges from the refrigerator, drinking while pondering these rewards.
"Is hypnosis directly targeting someone and then they can just fall asleep?"
"Hypnosis, I know a bit about it, those so-called hypnosis masters on the internet who claim to be mysterious and powerful, but I don't know if they're for real."
"Seduction technique, this is a bit evil, won't it be used specifically to seduce women?" Mu Yang thought to himself and couldn't help but laugh.
"This capture technique is unclear. What kind of capture method is this? Is it just a matter of pointing at the enemy and they will surrender obediently? I don't understand."
For internal affairs that cannot be decided, ask a coin; for external affairs that cannot be decided, ask a paper ball.
Mo Yang directly took out a deck of cards, picked out four Aces, and designated the order himself: the Ace of Spades was for hypnosis, the Ace of Hearts was for sleep induction, the Ace of Clubs was for enticement, and the Ace of Diamonds was for capture.
"Alright, let's start the lottery draw. Whoever gets picked is the one, no regrets after buying. Let's open it." Mu Yang was very excited playing by himself.
Draw one card from four cards and turn it over directly, and find it is red peach A.
"This is fate, we should follow the will of heaven and do it, so I'll choose hypnosis." Murong Yang didn't hesitate, directly entering the system panel's reward column, selecting hypnosis.
At this time, Muyang's skill bar had already changed to five. System Space, Japanese, Transformation Technique, Firearms Mastery, Hypnosis Technique.
It's all right, let's just put the system tasks aside for now and take a break first.
Muyang started to attend classes with a peace of mind, the final exam is approaching soon, and Muyang also signed up for Japanese N1, so there are still many places that need to be studied, he doesn't want his future plans to be affected by unsatisfactory grades.
Over the weekend, Muyang received a call from his cousin Song Xi. On Sunday, they all went to visit their elderly relatives and asked him if he wanted to go to Grandpa's house. It had been a long time since Muyang last visited Grandpa's house, and he really missed it.
On Sunday the next day, the moving company hired by Muyang loaded the red wood furniture in the room onto the truck and pulled it to the small quadrangle courtyard where Grandfather lived on Dongjiaomin Lane.
"Wow, this is redwood furniture! Xiaoyang, where did you get it from?" said Xing Grandpa, who was playing Go with Grandma.
"Mr. Xing, you still know about antique furniture."
"I don't know about the others, but I do know a thing or two about red wood furniture. This should be made of black acid branch wood, and it's a four-outlet official hat chair. Judging from its style, I'd say it's probably from the Qing dynasty, and that antique rack over there is likely part of the same set. It's really beautiful! This set of furniture can't be worth less than a few million." Old Xing said with relish, looking very pleased.
Grandfather glanced at Muyang, but since there were outsiders present, he didn't ask about the origin of this set of furniture. However, he really liked the set of furniture that Muyang had brought over.
Lao Xing touched and sat for a while before leaving. Then, Mu Yang's grandfather spoke up: "Where did you get this set of furniture from?"
"I had a friend on Antique Street who gave it to me, I've already had it appraised, it's a fine folk piece from the late Qing dynasty, not as expensive as Mr. Xing said, I only paid over 300,000."
"Where did you get the money?"
"I spend my weekends occasionally playing with antique collections with friends, and I made some money recently," said Mu Yang, scratching his head.
Grandfather smiled and said: "You have this skill, I don't object, but you must recognize your own path, never delay your studies."
"Grandfather, don't worry, I will never fall behind in my studies or forget my ideals. Being a diplomat is my career, these are just hobbies."
Then Muyang took out two cans of tea leaves and respectfully presented them to his grandfather.
At noon, the eldest uncle's family came over and asked a lot of questions. The eldest uncle also liked that pair of official hat chairs very much. Mu Yang patted his chest to guarantee that he would also get a set for the eldest uncle in the future.
A harmonious family is a happy one.
