[Main mission triggered]

[Side quest has been triggered]

After the three of them greeted each other, the system notification immediately rang out, and it was two consecutive sentences.

The next second, the three of them looked at the mission panel in unison.

First was the main mission,[find the original translation of Ramayana among Blackbeard's treasures].

Next, there were three consecutive side missions, which were "Wuwu."

[Help Blackbeard find his old subordinates on devil's mouth Island],[board the enemy's ship in naval battle and kill at least three enemy sailors], and [participate in a boxing match on deck and defeat the Vikings].

"Well ... There are a lot of things in the script." After Feng bujue quickly finished reading the quest, he mumbled this rather meaningless line.

This was one of his usual conversing techniques. Through this "throwing bricks to guide Jade" method, he let the others around him express their opinions first.

"Looking at the content, these are all quests that can be taken away while we're working on the main quest ..." Ambitionist knew brother Jue quite well, so he immediately added a similarly meaningless sentence to show that he, the wise general, would not fall for such a trick.

"Ha ..." Two seconds later, the quick-witted but "inexperienced" student snow laughed and said,"if we think about it the other way around ... According to the principle of 'do or don't do the side missions', are these three missions hinting that ... We can choose not to join Blackbeard's camp, not help him find people, not help him in naval battles, and not participate in some boxing match between sailors ... Instead, we can choose to hide here, wait for the ship to dock, then head straight for the treasure and complete the main mission."

"Eh?" Upon hearing this, ambitionist immediately perked up."Brother snow, you're pretty good. Why don't we be friends?"

Ambitionist was a smart person. In the game Thriller Paradise, the players who could make such an analysis after seeing the four quests were at least a level higher than the "average" player.

Levels, equipment, skills, masteries......These things could be obtained through time or money, but intelligence was not something that could be easily obtained, so......It was better to have more friends like this.

"Hmph ... Sure." A second later, snow replied,"I've also heard of Hong Hu's great name. It's my honor to be able to get to know such a famous person."

His words were actually a little sarcastic. If he and ambitionist became friends, ambitionist would be the one who should feel honored.

In real life, ambitionist could be considered a top-tier celebrity in the gaming industry, but in terms of influence and power in society ... He might not even be as strong as some second-or third-tier celebrities.

As for snow ... It was no exaggeration to say that he was like the "Prince of the underworld". As long as he wanted to, he could make those so-called "upper-class" people kneel down and lick their shoes, or even disappear from the world.

However, in this game world, they were only ..."Players."historical

This was also one of the charms of the internet. The internet could, at a certain time, at a certain place ... Put those people with very different identities and positions in the real world in a relatively fair environment.

In this environment, the various resources that the "superior" usually had ... Such as the priority to speak and the right to choose; The ability to use various legal or illegal "off-site means" to lead the course of events, etc., Would all disappear.

Just like how a raised animal would gradually lose its ability to hunt, when those people came out of the cages called "money" and "power," most of them ... Would appear particularly fragile, incompetent, and even stupid.

Of course, there were also exceptions ...

Snow was an exception. Even if you took away everything around him, he was still a difficult character to deal with.

Fortunately, at this moment ... He was a companion, not an opponent.

"No, no, no, I'm just trying to make a living. I'm not a celebrity. We're all friends who play games, so there's no need to be so polite." Ambitionist responded very humbly after receiving the other party's reply.

Ambitionist was obviously much more mature than when he had first met brother Jue. In other words ... It was because of his 'meeting Feng bujue' that he had grown.

Thinking back ... In the upstairs story scenario, at the start of the scenario, he had praised each other with the other two studio players in front of brother Jue. This kind of thing ... He would definitely not do it now.

The higher a person stood in a certain field and the broader his vision was, the more he would understand the truth that there was always someone better than him. If he wanted to go to' higher places ', he had to learn' respect ',' self-reflection ', and' humility '...

"Pride" was something that should be left for those who were complacent and self-satisfied with small achievements. It was a kind of compensation from the heavens to those who "had no more skills."

Ambitionist wasn't that kind of person. Therefore, he had abandoned his "pride" and placed himself in a very low position. He was working hard with the mentality of someone who had just started his career.

Today, ambitionist had improved greatly in terms of his speech and wisdom. As the brain of the team, his ability was not below brother Jue 's. In S2, he had assisted the loser Alliance all the way to the finals, which was a good proof of that. When it came to social interaction, ambitionist was also like a general, and in terms of 'acting like a grandson', he could also compete with brother Jue.

"I think ... How about this." After listening to the two's conversation, Feng bujue added maliciously,"the two of you ... Why don't you just hide in the same bucket and chat slowly? As for me ... I'll go out alone, join the pirate group, complete the side mission, and come back to call you when the ship lands on the island. "

"Come on ..." Ambitionist said as he lifted the lid of the wooden barrel he was in. He stuck his head out and turned on the flashlight he carried with him."If I let you go out alone, you'll sell us out in three minutes."

"You don't trust me that much?" Brother Jue also opened the wooden cover on his head, revealing half of his head. He asked with a raised brow.

"Ha!" Ambitionist chuckled dryly."I even thought of the exact process of how you betrayed your teammate ... The first step was to intentionally get caught. The second step was to declare that he admired Captain Blackbeard and wanted to join his pirate crew. The third step is to announce Snow's and my position as a bargaining chip, and at the same time, pin the 'dead leaf wine disappeared' on our heads ... That's it. "

"Well ..." Before he could finish his sentence, snow also popped out from his bucket."It's a good plan. This way, you'll get rid of two companions who will share the main storyline reward with you sooner or later, and you'll also win Blackbeard's trust ... Even if this trust is not very strong, it's enough to let you stay on the ship."

"Tsk ... Do I look like someone who doesn't have any goals?" Feng bujue narrowed his eyes and looked to his left and right. Then, he took out Bell's daily knife from his waist and cut the net that was covering the three buckets.

"Me? The great Feng bujue would need to sell out his teammates to gain the NPC's trust?" After cutting the net, brother Jue put away the knife, stood up, and said,"I understand now. This is the main universe ..." He patted his chest."We have plenty of connections."

"Right, right." Ambitionist also squinted his eyes and stood up."I almost forgot ... Even the demon fighter is your man, right?"

Ambitionist's team had been tricked by Feng bujue in the S2 final, and the entire team had been teleported out of the main universe. Naturally, he still remembered that.

"Ah ... Who knows?" Brother Jue just laughed it off and did not give a clear answer. He quickly changed the topic."In any case, I'm definitely going to do the side quest. Whether you two want to do it or not ... Is up to you."

"I'll do it, why not?" Ambitionist said,"you're the only one who said that. I never said that I was going to hide here."

"Hehe ... It seems like you two are quite close." Snow, who had been silent for a while, also climbed out of the bucket and smiled.

"Ah ... I guess so." Ambitionist replied,"dealing with brother Feng ... Whether as a teammate or an opponent, it's an unforgettable experience."

Hearing this, snow smiled.""Ha ... Indeed, I agree with you."

"Oh?" Ambitionist suddenly realized something."Speaking of which ... This isn't the first time you two have met, right?" He turned to look at snow and asked,"I remember, snow, you called him 'Mr. Crow'?"

"Yes, I am." Snow had no intention of hiding anything."About a month ago, we met twice. Something happened during that time ... So ..."

"Hey, hey, hey ..." Feng bujue cut snow off."Why are you describing it as if we've just met at a gaybar?"

"Ha?" Snow was stunned."Did I?"

"Of course there are." Brother Jue replied with his native accent. Then, he turned to ambitionist and asked,"can you be the judge ... What he said just now, doesn't it make people think ...'I used the name Mr. Crow to hang out at gaybar, and then he hit on me'?"

"Er ..." Ambitionist didn't know what expression he should use to answer this question."At first, I definitely didn't think in that direction, but now, you've forced me into a rhythm that I don't want to be in ..."

"Here, look." After Feng bujue got the answer, he turned to snow and said,"so, there is a problem with your statement, right?"

"Hey ... It's your problem ..." Ambitionist shook his head."And ... What's there to worry about? many people know that you have a girlfriend, okay?" He dragged his voice."If you don't want me to find out 'what happened between you and snow'... Then just say it. You don't have to divert the attention by bringing the conversation to something strange ... Anyway, I'm not very interested in this matter."

Hearing those words, Feng bujue's expression changed slightly."Ha ... You've grown up, my intentions have been seen through."

"Alright, then let's talk about the script." However, brother Jue did not praise him to his face. Instead, he changed the topic."Snow, are you planning to stay here, or are you coming with us?"

"I ..." Snow had been observing and analyzing the relationship between the two men and every word they had said in the past ten seconds. Now that brother Jue had suddenly asked him this, he hesitated for two seconds before answering,"...Naturally, I'm going to move with you two."

"Okay, you can go open the door." Feng bujue did not give the man any time to think and made a request.

"Well ..." Snow was not stupid. He immediately asked three very constructive questions."May I ask ... Why do you want me to open the door?" Why do I have to listen to you? And ... Why don't we search this 'third storeroom' before we leave?"

Feng bujue was prepared for this, and he replied,""It's simple ... Because I have connections, and it's up to me to get in touch with Blackbeard. So ... I definitely can't do this kind of exploration work where I might run into the guards and be killed instantly after opening the door. " He paused for a moment."As for the reason why I didn't ransack this room ... It's also very obvious. We're going to join the pirate gang later. If you 'steal' their things now, won't you become a hidden danger later?"

"Ah ..." Snow thought for three seconds, then rolled his eyes and said,"why am I convinced by such an unreasonable reason?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the door.

Feng bujue and ambitionist looked at each other. The former shrugged with a smile, while the latter shook his head helplessly.

A few seconds later, snow arrived at the door of the third storeroom.

It was a rather thick wooden door, and both the door and the lock could not be destroyed by ordinary weapons.

Snow stood still and placed his hand on the door handle. Before he opened the door, he turned around to look at his two teammates behind him.

At that moment, Feng bujue was looking around with a nonchalant expression, while ambitionist was focused on lighting up snow with the flashlight.

"Ha ..." When snow faced the door again, he chuckled softly.

Brother Jue and ambitionist did not hear the laughter because the sound of the waves drowned them out.

Gulu~~

Then, snow turned the door handle and opened the door.

As he expected, there was a guard outside the door, but the guard was sleeping on a hammock a few meters away from the wooden door. The shaking of the ship and the surrounding sounds had no effect on him ... There was no doubt that he had long been used to sleeping in such an environment, and the bursts of snoring indicated that he was sleeping soundly.
