Scandal Supermodel - Chapter 2440 - 2437-black versus black

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

After Cheng Qing’s death, he transmigrated into a book he had read
There is a female supporting actress who is arrogant and charming, and is so beautiful that she is top-notch only by her appearance – Luo Xi
Because he always stumbles upon the heroine in variety shows, he has gradually become disliked by thousands of people.
In the end, I broke my leg horribly.
Cheng Qing felt sorry for her, so she took the variety show and wanted her to avoid the hero and heroine
Later, Losey really avoided
She followed Cheng Qing the whole time.
“Qingqing, can you cook?”
“Qingqing, can you do laundry?”
“Qingqing, can you drive?”
Cheng Qing will do anything for her
Luo Xi would crouch in front of her and smile: “You are so nice, you can do anything.”
Cheng Qing choked: “…I won’t”
Luo Xi looked at her with wide eyes in doubt, Cheng Qing was helpless: “But I learn.”
In the variety show, Cheng Qing and Luo Xi were pulled cp
The cp powder is overwhelming, shouting for food every day
Later, Luo Xi asked Cheng Qing, “Do you like me? That’s why you help me with everything.”
Cheng Qing was silent for a moment and replied, “Sorry.”

Starting from today, I am retired. But what should I be doing? I neither have the skills, nor the mind to do business, my only advantage is this pair of hands which have taken this world. What a headache…

Note: The usage of the term “retired” here doesn’t mean retiring from old age, work etc. It’s a specific term to refer to not involving oneself in the affairs of a certain society.
