It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 329 The Sheep Gone Just After Taking Off Pants

"Yes."

Player 3 replied.

"I only have 1 point of sanity left, what's the point of paying? Aren't you afraid that I will learn some spells and use them on you first?"

Liu Zheng was speechless.

“This module’s special mechanism allows players to pay the price on behalf of their characters.”

Said the Ama.

"You mean, paying for my own rationality?"

"Yes."

Said the Ama.

"Oh my goodness, so this is not how Player 2 died, is it?"

He said with empty eyes.

"It is inconvenient to disclose the players' real information."

Said the Ama.

So you just leaked my information again?

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and didn't bother to ask any more questions.

Anyway, the Ama woman wouldn't cheat him at a time like this.

If you want to cheat, you have to wait until you go to the garbage disposal plant.

"It's almost time. Do any players have any objections to the character cards?"

The Ama asked.

"No."

The other three players said.

"No."

Liu Zheng didn't even know what the original character card was like, so naturally he had no objection.

"Okay. Now we will enter the plot introduction. Players, especially new players, please listen carefully."

The Ama woman reminded.

"The four of you are adventurers from different places, and you came together because you received the same mission at the Adventure Guild."

"Your current mission is to go to the Holy Empire's Matrela Port, find Sister Audrey Ann and start the next mission."

"However, on your way to the port of Matrera, you encountered a series of events that took all your efforts to resolve."

"But in the end, the ship you were on was encountered by the great pirate Flamingo and sunk by it. The four of you were also captured and imprisoned to be sold to slave traders."

"The plot introduction is over, and the game officially begins."

As soon as the mermaid finished her words, Liu Zheng's eyes immediately lit up as if a flash bomb had been thrown at him.

He closed his eyes subconsciously, but a strong stench came from his nose.

The stench included the smell of fish, foot odor, body odor, and the unique salty smell of sea water.

Liu Zheng opened his eyes and saw a narrow cabin in front of him.

The cabin was dark, with only a hanging lamp on the wall providing a little light.

He looked down at himself and found that his hands and feet were tied up with thick hemp ropes.

Fortunately, this module is set in a Western fantasy background. If it was a Japanese fantasy background, the tied-up posture would be more shameful and more difficult to break free.

"What should we do now? Should we try to escape immediately, or wait and see?"

said a voice.

Liu Zheng remembered that this should be the voice of player No. 3.

He turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a thin man.

Player No. 3 nodded at him, and his attitude was much friendlier than before.

"At least untie the rope first, otherwise we won't be able to deal with any emergencies later."

Another voice said.

Liu Zheng turned his head again and saw that the person speaking was a woman wearing glasses.

“I’m player 4.”

The woman took the initiative to introduce herself.

"OK."

He nodded.

"I agree with Player 4."

The last one was said by a burly man with bare upper body and many scars on his body.

Needless to say, he is definitely Player No. 1.

"Okay, I'll untie the ropes for you now."

Player 3 said.

As he spoke, he twisted his body.

There were constant noises coming from all his joints, and his body shape was changing accordingly.

Player No. 3 struggled to break the tightly tied rope, allowing one of his hands to be free.

Then, he shook his hands quickly like a magic trick, and a small knife appeared in his hand.

This knife is only as big as a little finger. It is difficult to kill someone even if you stab him in a vital part. However, if used as a tool, it can still play a huge role.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Zheng shouted before he could take action.

"what happened?"

Player 3 asked.

"I have an idea. Can you keep the rope as intact as possible, but damage it to the point where we can break free in one go?"

He said.

"Well, you can try it."

As expected of an expert player, Player No. 3 immediately understood what he meant.

He stared at the rope on Liu Zheng's body for a while, then cut the rope at several key points with a knife.

This way the rope can still maintain the binding posture, but can be easily broken free.

He first dealt with Liu Zheng, then he used the same method to deal with Player No. 1 and Player No. 4, and finally he dealt with the rope on his own body.

After this, player No. 3 was exhausted and out of breath.

Considering the average strength of the residents in the metropolis, this amount of activity is definitely not enough.

It seems that even though there is no stamina attribute in the character card, the player's stamina is still linked to the character itself.

Since everyone decided to wait and see what happened, everyone started introducing themselves.

Of course, the main purpose is to introduce it to Liu Zheng.

"My profession is a thief. I mainly add agility and secondary strength. I am mainly responsible for the support and secondary output of the team."

Player 3 said.

"My profession is a pharmacist. I mainly increase intelligence and secondary increase charm. I am mainly responsible for treatment and negotiation in the team."

Player No. 4 followed up.

"My profession is a warrior. I mainly increase strength and secondary increase agility. I am mainly responsible for the team's meat shield and output."

Player 1 said.

"I don't need to introduce myself."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"No need. We know your role card better than you do."

Player 3 said.

"Okay. But if you look at it this way, the Black Book should be given to player number 4."

He said.

"Who said it wasn't? But it was because Player 2 was so devoted to the role and his character was so reckless. Before we could react, his hand had already touched us."

Player No. 4 said with resentment.

It’s okay that player No. 2’s character is reckless, but his attributes and skills are both damn good at strength and speed.

Not to mention that they didn't react, even if they did, they couldn't stop him unless they simply killed him.

But without such a main output, the team will say goodbye to clearing the level.

“Do I have to act according to my character’s personality?”

Liu Zheng asked.

"That's not necessary. However, the more your words and actions are consistent with the role, the higher your evaluation from the host will be. If you take actions consistent with the role at certain critical moments, you may even gain potential points."

Player 3 replied.

"Potential points?"

"You can think of it as a cheat provided by the authorities. It can be used for many things. Of course, its biggest use is to re-roll the dice."

Player 3 said.

"understood."

He nodded.

Being able to re-roll the dice is definitely a cheat.

After all, role-playing games are also known as dice simulators. No matter how successful your role-playing is, how awesome your reasoning skills are, or how reasonable your team's division of labor is, you can't defeat the dice girl.

It was not uncommon for him to see a big failure leading to the immediate annihilation of the entire group.

"Then how do you know if you have potential?" Liu Zheng asked.

“You can just ask the host.”

Player 4 replied.

"Host, how many potential points do I have?"

he asked.

"Player 2, you currently have 1 potential point."

The voice of the Ama woman was heard.

"Didn't they say that Player 2 was very devoted to role-playing? How come he only has 1 potential point?"

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"Because he was so absorbed in role-playing, he recklessly used up all his potential points."

Player 3 said coldly.

It can be heard that he has a lot of resentment towards the original player No. 2.

"Ahahaha, that's true. His death was not unjust."

Liu Zheng suspected that Player No. 2 was not playing a role at all, and might have died recklessly in real life.

Just as Player 3 was about to speak, a ray of light shone into the cabin. It turned out that the baffle leading to the upper deck was opened.

"Go down."

Accompanied by a rude voice, a ragged child was thrown out of the cabin.

"it hurts!"

The child yelled.

"Shut up, or I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

A pirate walked down the ladder and threatened the child.

The child didn't dare to cry out in pain anymore and closed his mouth pitifully.

The pirate dragged the child to a corner closer to the stairs and walked towards the four players.

Seeing him approaching, several players were ready to attack.

"Captain, may I ask your name?"

Liu Zheng suddenly spoke.

"You are mocking me, right? I am a shitty captain."

The pirate glared.

"With your character and temperament, it's only a matter of time before you become a captain. If someone like you can't become a captain, then the pirate business will be over sooner or later."

He said with a big smile on his face.

"Oh? Have you heard of me?"

The pirate asked in disbelief.

"I come from a small place, so I have no chance to hear about your great deeds. But I have heard a story about a great pirate, and the pirate captain in the story looks exactly like you."

Liu Zheng said.

"Then tell me what you mean. If you can't tell me or you're making it up, I'll cut off your ear and use it as a snack."

The pirate drew the scimitar from his waist and said fiercely.

"No problem, please come on. It is said that during the reign of Queen Anne, there was a pirate captain who roamed the Caribbean Sea. His name was Jack Sparrow and his favorite ship was called the Black Pearl."

He recounted the plot of the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" in brief and concise words.

There was a time when he was very fond of this series. He watched it over and over again for more than ten times. He remembered the dialogues between the characters by heart and even imitated the characters' tone and expression vividly.

The plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is very interesting in itself. After listening to it, not only the pirate was stunned, but even the other players were fascinated.

"In the end, Captain Jack defeated the pirate Barbussa and took back his beloved ship, the Black Pearl, but his legendary voyage had just begun. Ahem."

Liu Zheng coughed twice deliberately.

"Go on, keep talking."

the pirate urged, brandishing his cutlass.

"I don't remember the rest."

He shook his head.

"What?! Are you kidding me?"

The pirate said angrily.

Life at sea is boring to begin with. I finally heard such an interesting story, but the exciting part ended there. It's like a sheep being dragged away and killed by the cook as soon as it took off its pants.

"I am a prisoner, how dare I play tricks on you. It's been so long, and I was so scared that I forgot everything. Give me some time, I'm sure I'll remember it."

Liu Zheng said pretending to be scared.

"Oh, so you are waiting for me here."

The pirates were no fools and immediately understood his subtext.

"You want me to let you go just because of this story? No way. Unless you pay money to redeem yourself."

He said, rolling his eyes.

"If I had money, would I have to become an adventurer?"

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly.

"Then you just stay here. You'd better remember it before I come next time, or I'll make you suffer."

The pirate sneered.

"Captain, there's no need to wait for you to come down in person. Just let me see the sea and I should be able to remember it."

he said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

the pirate asked.

"I have longed for the sea since I was a child, especially to become a free pirate. But because my hometown is too far away from the sea, I can only be an adventurer. Now I have this opportunity to board a pirate ship, and meet a boss like you who is so generous. This is simply a blessing from the sea."

"So, I want to serve you and become a glorious pirate."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The pirate asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true. If you weren't someone who yearned for the sea, how could you know such a wonderful pirate story? Besides, I've actually made a lot of preparations for sailing. Of course, it's all theoretical."

He shared some of the knowledge he learned from movies and novels.

"Well, it sounds like something similar."

The pirate nodded repeatedly as he listened, there were some points of knowledge that even he didn't know.

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. When I become a pirate, I will give you 30% of all the profits."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"Only 30%?"

"So how much do you want?"

"At least 50%, and you have to help me with the work."

Said the pirate.

Of course, pirates do more than just rob. The daily work on the ship is also quite heavy.

"No problem. It's my honor to work for the future great pirate."

He agreed immediately.

"You are such a sweet talker. Actually, you don't have to be a pirate. I will talk to the captain and ask him to sell you to those noble ladies as a Star Fury. You will definitely be able to do well there."

The pirate smiled and said.

"Then I prefer to have those noble ladies be my Starfury."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"Hey hey hey."

The pirate also smiled lewdly.

"Okay, stay here and don't even think about running away. If you're sold to a slave trader, you still have a chance of survival. But if you run away and get caught, you'll be dead."

The pirate reminded.

"Of course, of course. What do you think of my becoming a pirate?"

"I'll go up and tell them, but you'd better not get your hopes up. Our captain has very strict standards for recruiting crew members, and he probably won't look down on someone like you who has no sailing experience."

The pirate shook his head.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain."

Liu Zheng said humbly.

"I've already said that I'm not a captain."

"You are my captain no matter what ship I am on."

He said seriously.

"Your mouth is sweeter than honey, boy. It's a pity that you are so ugly."

The pirate looked at his face and said regretfully.

"Compared to you, who else can say that he is handsome?"

"That's true, hahaha. But, if you become a pirate, what will happen to your three friends?"

The pirate pointed his machete at the other three players.

"Them. Actually, I'm not familiar with them."
