Chapter 1274: Return of the Pirates (4)
Translator: 549690339
Seeing this, snow turned around and gave brother Jue and the rest a look.
Feng bujue and ambitionist naturally saw the situation outside the door. The next second, the two of them looked at each other and came to a mutual understanding.
…………
Five minutes later, the three players appeared on the deck of Queen Anna’s revenge.
Perhaps they were lucky, or perhaps the difficulty of the scenario had always been like this … Along the way, they did not encounter any obstacles, and no one even suspected them.!!
Of course, after thinking about it carefully, this was quite reasonable.
There were at least a hundred people on this pirate ship, and more than half of them had been recruited before the voyage. These sailors who had just boarded the ship didn’t know much, and they didn’t need to know too much … Anyway, they only needed to recognize the captain, first mate, second mate, Boatswain, and other crew members with higher positions, and be able to obey orders … That was enough. The next time they reached the shore, those who were still alive could stay and continue to work if they wanted to, and if they didn’t want to, they could split the spoils and leave.
This … Was the pirate tradition that ran through the entire Caribbean era.
In fact, many merchant ships and even military ships used similar rules back then, because most ships would lose people after setting sail. In addition, sailors often wanted to change their environment for various reasons, so the movement of lower-level sailors was very high back then … It was normal for people on the same ship to not know each other.
“This is a normal team dungeon after all, so it’s easier than I thought.” After they reached the deck, Feng bujue told his two teammates,”who knows … When we finish this scenario, the disappearance of the three barrels of ‘dead leaf wine’ will not be discovered.”
“Does that mean …” Snow continued,”that we didn ‘t’ steal ‘the things in the third storeroom earlier is actually a loss?”
“Why don’t you go back and get some now?” Feng bujue added.
“The door is closed …” Snow spread his hands and said,”if I really want to go in and get it, I have to steal the key from the guard … That’s a different matter.”
“So you’re not saying things after the fact.” Brother Jue then brought up the main point of his earlier question.
“Uh … Alright.” Snow also quickly got the point in the other party’s words and tactfully stopped mentioning that matter.
“Then …” Ambitionist turned to brother Jue and said,”in this situation, should we consider changing our plan?”
“What kind of change?” Regarding the ‘plan’ ambitionist was going to talk about, Feng bujue had already guessed it, but he still had to ask the obvious.
“Since we’re now treated as ordinary sailors and mixed in with the crew, should we … Beat them at their own game?” Ambitionist said.
“You mean …” Feng bujue said,”I don’t need to go to Blackbeard and tell him my name?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Snow agreed with ambitionist, so he added,”the content of the three side missions can be completed as an ordinary sailor. However, I’m afraid that Blackbeard’s connections … Are still unpredictable. If he doesn’t care about you, or even has some hostility towards you, it will be difficult to handle. ”
“Hmm …” Feng bujue thought about it and said,”fine, we’ll just hang around like this for now. If anything happens, it won’t be too late for me to reveal my identity.”
“Alright, what fake name are you going to use?” Ambitionist asked immediately after getting brother Jue’s answer.
He was quite thoughtful. They still had a long journey ahead of them, and it was likely that they would be asked for their names. He and snow were easy to deal with, but the name ‘Feng bujue’ could not be revealed to the public. Therefore, it was necessary to prepare a fake name that all three of them knew.
“I’ve already thought of this. ” One second later, Feng bujue replied seriously,”my name is Crow, male, two hundred and fifty years old. I am a Gothic pirate, and my motto is, no Gothic, no pirate …”
“Hey, hey … Can’t you just think of a name? what’s with the nonsense behind it?” Ambitionist couldn’t help but complain.
“The more fake it is, the more detailed the settings have to be. That’s more convincing.” Feng bujue replied with conviction.
“Alright, alright … Do as you wish.” Ambitionist was too lazy to say anything else to avoid being dragged back into brother Jue’s conversation.
“The two of you.” Seeing that the arrangements were almost done, snow spoke again,”if there are no other problems, then … Can we split up?”
“Oh?” Ambitionist was thinking the same thing at the moment. When he heard snow say the idea first, he looked at him with a happy expression.”Do you think so too?”
Snow nodded and replied,”of course. In this environment, the three of us acting together … Is a waste of resources.” He paused and continued,”it’ll be suspicious … If we explore alone, not only can we increase the search area and improve the efficiency of completing the task, but we can also solve the problem of ‘distributing the items after finding them’. The most important thing is … If someone gets into trouble, the three of us won’t be caught in one fell swoop. ”
“Ha … You’re really good, snow.” Ambitionist smiled and praised snow after hearing his answer.
“You’ve thought of it too, haven’t you?” Snow also laughed and said,”great minds think alike.”
“Sigh … I’m about to puke.” Feng bujue, on the other hand, would always be the one to spoil the mood. He used his dead fish eyes to look at ambitionist and snow, and with a lowered voice, he said,”my two heroes, you can continue chatting. For the sake of my stomach, I have to make a move first.”
After saying that, he turned around and strolled along the side of the ship.
Ambitionist and snow looked at each other and smiled. They shrugged with the same expression and movement, then walked away in different directions.
…………
The weather at sea was very changeable.
When the opening cinematics played, it was clear that the wind and waves were strong, and the thunder and lightning were still outside the ship.
But when the players came out of the barrel, the wind and waves outside had weakened a lot.
After a few minutes, when the three of them walked onto the deck, the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared in the sky.
But now, after Feng bujue wandered around for a while, the sky was clear and the world was calm …
The sailors were resting, chatting, gambling, and fooling around on the deck. Other than a few who were busy with trivial matters, the rest were not doing anything serious. The terrifying storm not long ago was like a dream. Only the wet seawater on their clothes reminded them that what they had seen was not an illusion.
“Hmm … What’s with this ship of monsters?” Feng bujue wandered around for more than ten minutes before stopping. He squatted next to a wooden box and thought to himself,”I wanted to determine who are the officers based on the data strength, but there are too many powerful characters on this ship … And …” He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the captain’s cabin. “There’s a ‘monster’ in the captain’s cabin … No wonder even a ‘Shorthair godly fist master’ like rabbit hair brother can only be a Lackey … Blackbeard’s combat power is obviously not below the four pillar gods.”
Just as brother Jue was thinking, suddenly, a large, rough hand patted his shoulder.
When Feng bujue turned around to look, the first thing that entered his sight was a large patch of black fur.
“Hey, buddy, you look quite unfamiliar.” The person who spoke was only 1.5 meters tall, but he had a body full of muscles. His stone-like muscles seemed to be about to burst open his sweatshirt, making him look like a small human cannon. However, his most unique characteristic wasn’t his body size, but rather his abnormally well-developed body hair … Although he only had a sparse amount of stubble on his face, his chest, armpits, arms, and legs … Were all covered in large patches of black, so black that it would make one dizzy just by looking at them.
“Ha …” After seeing the person’s face, Feng bujue stood up and moved the large, furry hand away from his shoulder. He laughed.”You look unfamiliar to me as well.”
Brother Jue’s reaction was quite smart. Before he understood the situation, he tried not to show any obvious attitude, and he did not say anything that would reveal his personal information.
“Hehe …” Body hair brother forced a smile and looked up at brother Jue.”It’s okay if you don’t know me. We’re all in the same boat. We’ll get to know each other soon.”
“I wonder what this big brother wants to do?” Feng bujue could hear, see, and guess that this kind of person who came to talk to you … Was definitely up to no good.
“Hehe … It’s like this …” Body hair bro had a sinister look on his face as he replied,”I was playing cards with a few of my buddies, but it’s not fun when there aren’t many people around. I saw that you’ve been wandering around the area for a long time, and you didn’t seem to have anything to do, so …”
“Ah-ha!” Feng bujue did not need to listen to the whole story to know what was going on. He immediately interrupted the man and put on a standard fish-like face. He said with joy,”then you’ve found the right person. I love playing cards the most. To be honest … Back in my hometown, I was an expert at playing cards. Things like comparing big and small, blackjack, turtle … I’m unrivaled in all of those!”
Brother Jue’s acting was really from the inside out … In just two sentences, not only did his expression change, even his accent changed, and the change was quite natural.
As for body hair bro … He had been duped. With his intelligence, he didn’t think that he would be tricked by someone else. He now deeply believed that the man in front of him was a super water fish. In less than half an hour, this guy would lose his pants.
“Hahaha … Okay, then we’ll …” Two seconds later, body hair bro was already ready to bring brother Jue to his friends.
But unexpectedly …
“Wait,” At this critical moment, Feng bujue interrupted the man again.”Hehe …” He laughed and said,”don’t take me for a fool. I’m not going to go with you alone. When you lose, what if you go back on your word because you have more people?” He paused for half a second, and before body hair could explain, he continued,”I brought a fellow townsman here to play. This way, you won’t be able to go back on your word if you lose.”
When body hair bro heard that, he thought,””Tsk … I thought you were going to say something. You’re a country bumpkin who only knows how to play big and small, blackjack, and turtle smoking. You’re quite particular …”
Even though he was thinking about it, he still replied with a pleasant expression on his face,””Look at what you’re saying … We’re all in the same boat, why would I set a trap for you?” He put on a calm expression and said,”Okay, okay … Then go and call your fellow townsman. I’m at …” As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to a mast more than ten meters away.”There, yes, the place under the mast. I’ll wait for you there … Hurry up.”
At this point, Feng bujue had already jogged away. As he ran, he turned around and shouted,””Don’t worry, I’ll be right there!”
He was indeed a man of his word …
In less than three minutes, he arrived with Yingying and snow.
They did not know what brother Jue had said to snow, but when the latter appeared before them, his face was tense.
“Hehe … Sorry to keep you waiting, this is my fellow townsman.” Feng bujue patted Snow’s shoulder and introduced him with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter. Sit down and play a few rounds while the weather is good. Who knows if the weather will change again?” A brawny man with a light blue headscarf on his head glanced at them and urged them in an impatient tone.
“Alright,” he said. Feng bujue answered and sat down with a face full of joy.
Snow did not say anything and just sat down next to brother Jue.
At this moment, both of them were sitting on the deck. Opposite them, there were three sailors, all of whom were sitting on the ground with their backs against the mast.
Of the three people, one was the body hair guy who had come to talk to brother Jue, the second was the blue headscarf who had urged them earlier, and the third was a skinny man with brown curly hair.
…………
“Hey, did you see that? garlic and the others are making their move again.”
“Ah … I saw them just now. The target this time is obviously two aquatic fish … Look at their fair and clean appearance. It’s probably their first time out to sea.”
“Eh? Should we talk to the boatswain?”
“What’s there to say? it’s a good opportunity for those two rookies to learn a lesson and gain some knowledge … So that they won’t embarrass the Blackbeard Pirates in the future.”
…………
The above was a private conversation between two sailors seven or eight meters away.
It was reasonable to say that on this noisy deck, even if the two of them were to speak a little louder, their words would not have reached the mast.
However, Feng bujue and snow knew exactly what those two were talking about.
This was because … Brother Jue and snow had both entered their own ‘gambling mode’. This was not a skill in the game, but an ability that they had mastered in the real world. In this state, their concentration and observation skills would be greatly improved … It was easy to read the lips of two people who were seven or eight meters away.
