Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

As they stepped out of the mysterious portal of the escort agency, the scorching sun was already at its zenith, mercilessly casting its blazing rays upon the earth. It was noon.

Wu Ming subconsciously raised his head and gazed at the vast coastline in the distance. His eyes were filled with anticipation and joy, as if he wanted to penetrate layers of obstacles and get to the bottom of it.

See if Shanks at the coast entrance has not rested yet, and is still waiting there quietly, waiting for him to take on the next stage of the task.

However, due to the considerable distance between the escort agency and the coast, and the numerous ships that had just docked along the way extending their slender masts like a barrier, Wu Ming had difficulty catching a clear glimpse of Sanks's figure.

Despite this, Wu Ming still tried hard to check it out. He released his quick movement skill and teleported to a nearby roof to check it out, trying to get a glimpse through the dense obstacles, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly and chose to give up this attempt.

There was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush. So Wu Ming leisurely led Dachun and Ah Hao, chatting and laughing as they set off for the coast. Along the way, they occasionally discussed secrets of the wilderness and exchanged tips on skill coordination, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

As we walked, we unknowingly approached a smaller coastal entrance.

"Hey! Isn't this the guy who was rushing off to do something important last time? What's the matter? This time he finally has some free time to explore our tourist destination, the Gold Coast?"

At this moment, a sudden voice, like the call of a loved one, shot straight into Wu Ming's ears.

Wu Ming suddenly heard someone calling him, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. He subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the small coastline on the left.

You never know until you see it. To your surprise, the person standing there was none other than the little captain whom you had met once before. However, Wu Ming was busy with other matters at the moment and couldn't spare the time, so he declined the other party's invitation to visit the Gold Coast without hesitation.

In fact, Wu Ming had originally planned to relax at the Gold Coast after he had conquered the abandoned dungeon and successfully changed his job, and fully appreciate the unique charm of this world-famous tourist destination known as MapleStory.

However, he was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of a mandatory escort mission, which landed him shortly after completing the abandoned dungeon and changing his job. Wu Ming completely forgot about his Gold Coast vacation because the mission came so suddenly.

At this moment, Wu Ming happened to be passing by the small coast entrance and inadvertently saw the little captain Payson again.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Payson? Long time no see! How's your business going lately? I've noticed Pearl Harbor is bustling with people lately!"

Wu Ming quickly stopped moving forward, put on a friendly smile, and took the initiative to greet Payson.

"Haha, thanks to you, business has been booming recently. There's been a constant stream of tourists asking me to take them to the Gold Coast!

Come to think of it, I've been wondering why so many people have suddenly asked me to go to the Gold Coast. And when I asked, they all said they were introduced by some acquaintance. Could it be... that you, brother, are really the one promoting me behind the scenes?"

When Payson saw that Wu Ming still remembered him, his heart was immediately filled with joy, and he quickly responded with a smile. As he spoke, Payson scratched his head in embarrassment.

Wu Ming was startled at first when he heard this, and then his mind was flooded with thoughts. He thought to himself:

So that's how it is! Although I was the first person to know about this mysterious Gold Coast map, it was a pity that I didn't take it seriously at the time, and eventually forgot about it.

However, fate is always full of dramatic twists. When the second curious person came to ask him about it, he inadvertently revealed the special map information.

Perhaps it was precisely because of such a small action, like a butterfly effect, that triggered a series of subsequent chain reactions, attracting more and more people to pay attention to this place.

"I don't think I did it on purpose. I really didn't go out of my way to publicize this. I probably just mentioned it casually while chatting with someone, and I didn't expect it to cause such a big response, causing your place to suddenly become so crowded with people!"

Although Wu Ming knew that he did not do it on his own initiative, he still scratched his head a little embarrassedly when faced with Payson's words, and continued his words with a little embarrassment.

"Hahaha! Regardless of whether it's your help with the promotion or not, my business is definitely booming now! So, to express my gratitude to you, I decided to give you a special gift - a precious ticket!

If you ever want to visit the Gold Coast, a popular seaside destination, you can simply come here with this ticket. Even if I'm not the one driving the boat, you can still enjoy the entire trip for free with this ticket!"

At this time, Payson laughed heartily and said.

Before he finished speaking, Payson quickly took out a glittering golden bill from his pocket and handed it to Wu Ming with a smile.

Wu Ming's eyes fell on the ticket that Payson handed over, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not say much, but quickly expressed his sincere gratitude to Payson.

Then, without hesitation, he reached out to take the ticket, as if afraid the other party would suddenly change his mind. After taking the ticket, Wu Ming smiled and nodded at Payson as a greeting, then turned and strode towards the coast at Pearl Harbor.

"Boss, you're amazing! You've even managed to make the original inhabitants of MapleStory treat you so politely! I'm truly in awe of you!"

Ah Hao, who was following not far behind, witnessed this scene and could not help but quickly step forward and walk side by side with Wu Ming. He looked at Wu Ming with admiration and kept praising him.

"Actually, it's not because of my great abilities! I guess it was the adventurers who came to Pearl Harbor to hunt cheap monsters who first discovered this guy named Payson and learned about the existence of this Gold Coast map.

They spread the news, and I just happened to catch this opportunity, making Payson mistakenly think that I helped him promote it. This can be regarded as picking up a big bargain! Hahahaha!"

Faced with Ah Hao's flattery, Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud. He shook his head slightly and explained. Then he burst into another hearty laugh.

"Boss, should we go to the Gold Coast? I see a lot of people in the world chat saying they're going there, but they haven't mentioned what's on the Gold Coast map.

There's so little information about the Gold Coast. It seems to me there's a lot of money to be made here. Perhaps it's a mysterious map that could bring in a lot of profit!

Ah Hao turned around and spoke excitedly to Da Chun who was at the back of the team.

"Don't worry. Since so many people have already rushed over, whether it's a field map or a pure tourist map, let's complete the escort mission first. After we finish the things at hand, it's not too late to go over there and explore!"

After hearing this, Wu Ming frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at the two of them and spoke slowly.

"Alright, then I'll follow the boss's instructions!"

Hearing Wu Ming's words, Dachun and Ah Hao smiled and responded.

Next, Wu Ming, Dachun and Ah Hao continued to move towards the coast of Shanks while chatting and laughing.

The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, creating a lively atmosphere. As they walked, Wu Ming suddenly seemed to remember something and reached into his backpack to pull out the glittering golden ticket again.

Wu Mingdi took it in his hand and examined it carefully. He saw a few eye-catching words printed on the front of the ticket: "VIP Ticket to Golden Beach".

There are words on the ticket. Before I obtained these items, I couldn't understand the words in the MapleStory world, so there is an item details query function to view the men who got these items.

This time, Wu Ming simply flipped the ticket over and began to check the details of the items on the back.

Just like what Payson said! This is not just any ticket, it’s a VIP ticket to Florina Beach.

It clearly stated that ticket holders could enjoy free admission to Florina Beach regardless of their chosen mode of transportation. This undoubtedly made Wu Ming secretly happy, and he secretly planned to have a good time at the destination when he had the chance.

This isn't a question of whether you have money or not, but the feeling of being free! After all... money can't buy the joy of being free!
