Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Because they didn't use the Qinggong skill that could increase their movement speed, Wu Ming and the other three walked side by side at a leisurely pace, chatting and laughing along the way as they slowly walked towards the port of Pearl Harbor.

During this period, Wu Ming told Dachun and Ah Hao all the information he had obtained at the intelligence point at the wooden barrel rice fast food restaurant in detail.

Dachun and Ah Hao also spoke without reservation, sharing all the knowledge they had learned in school about the wilds of MapleStory, including some things that Wu Ming didn't know yet.

It contains detailed information about Longguo’s employment and future development trends for college students, and even various trivial details that are currently known to everyone.

In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of conversation and unreserved exchange of information between each other, Wu Ming and others finally arrived at their destination, Pearl Harbor, unknowingly.

However, what was surprising was that Wu Ming and his team looked everywhere but still could not find any trace of Shanks.

Seeing this, Wu Ming immediately activated his swift movement ability, and in a flash, he instantly teleported to the port's command platform like a ghost. Standing high and looking far, he scanned his surroundings eagerly, but the scene he saw was somewhat disappointing.

A handful of adventurers were seen leisurely strolling back and forth near the harbor, their activities unclear. Beyond that, the native residents of MapleStory were busy gathering their nets along the shore, while others were standing by baskets filled with fresh fish, shouting out their wares.

Just as Wu Ming was looking around for Shanks in confusion, he accidentally glanced at him and suddenly noticed a burly, bearded uncle standing quietly in the corner next to the command desk.

Looking at this uncle, Wu Ming's thoughts were instantly brought back to the scene when he left Rainbow Island.

At that time, he had just completed the mission of Sanks, obtained a maple leaf cloak, and successfully activated a special skill called "Falling Leaf Slash". Although this skill could not be upgraded by adding skill points in the usual way.

After Wu Ming read the description of the Clear skill, he used it for the first time with great anticipation. However, due to his lack of experience in using the skill the first time, he actually locked the skill on the handrail on the side of the ship.

At the moment the skill was released, something unexpected happened to Wu Ming himself! Due to excessive force, his body suddenly lost its balance and he flew straight into the sea like a cannonball.

The moment he fell into the sea, it happened in a flash. Sanks, who was witnessing everything, was shocked and shouted to the two sailors on the boat to rescue Wu Ming quickly.

Fortunately, after a swift rescue operation, one of the sailors who participated in the rescue was the bearded uncle in front of him. In the end, of course, Wu Ming was safely pulled back from the sea and onto the ship!

You know, if it weren't for the timely help of Shanks and these sailors, Wu Ming would have wasted a rare chance of resurrection before he even stepped out of the novice village of Rainbow Island.

After landing on Treasure Island, Wu Ming expressed his sincere gratitude to every sailor who lent a helping hand.

Because of this, Wu Ming always retained an indelible impression of the fierce-looking sailors on the Shanks ship.

"Um...Excuse me, are you Brother Theo? Where is your Captain Shanks now? I have something important that I need to see him about!"

Wu Ming looked around in confusion. When he finally spotted Theo under the podium, he teleported in front of him without hesitation and asked impatiently.

"Damn it! What the hell! Who is that?! You almost scared me to death!"

This sudden scene scared Theo so much that his whole body trembled violently and he cursed subconsciously.

"Oh? It's you! You're here! The captain has gone out to sea for some urgent matters, and before he left, he specifically asked me to stay here and wait for you.

Look! There's a merchant with goods waiting behind the warehouse. You should have completed the team registration and relevant training at the escort agency, right? "

After seeing that the person coming was Wu Ming, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, patting his chest.

After listening to Theo's explanation, Wu Ming suddenly understood that the next task would be triggered by him.

Thinking about how his rash behavior had scared the other person so much, Wu Ming couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He stood in front of Theo awkwardly, scratching his head, trying to use this action to cover up his inner embarrassment.

Then, as if remembering something important, Wu Ming quickly reached into his backpack and began searching. After a while, he pulled out an identity token issued by the escort agency for the escort team.

However, what was unexpected was that the next moment Wu Ming took out the identity token, a task reminder note shining with strange light appeared in front of him without warning.

[Escort agency registration information, obtain Escort agency token] (Completed)

[Start escorting - Phased mission starts, progress one, follow Theo to contact the caravan] (in progress)

"That's no problem!"

Theo shouted excitedly, his eyes fixed on the escort agency token in Wu Ming's hand, as if it was something rare.

"When the captain went out to sea, he was worried that you wouldn't be able to get this identity token! After all, getting it is not an easy task. It requires a full 10 million Maple Leaf Coins! This huge sum of money is not something that everyone can easily come up with!"

Theo shook his head with deep emotion.

"But our captain is really amazing! Long before you were looking for teammates, he had already personally gone to the escort agency to take care of all the relationships. So, there's no need to worry about not being able to get this token! Hehehe..."

Theo then waved to Wu Ming in a friendly manner, signaling him to follow. He then took long strides and walked briskly towards the warehouse behind the harbor, muttering to himself all the way.

"Oh my! Look at my brain! I actually doubted that the young man couldn't get the token. Isn't this clearly a lack of trust in our captain's ability? I really should give myself a good slap!"

Having said that, Theo suddenly realized that he was still doubting whether Wu Ming could get the token, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

After saying that, Theo raised his right hand without hesitation and slapped his cheek hard, making a crisp sound.

Wu Ming had actually noticed Theo mumbling something, but he hadn't paid much attention to it at first. However, as Theo's words gradually became clearer to his ears, he suddenly understood everything that had happened to him at the escort agency.

I recalled that old man with a scarred face. He had a stern face from the moment he saw me, as if I owed him a huge sum of money. And after successfully getting my identity token, he couldn't wait to get me out.

Now it seems that there is actually such a reason behind this! It turns out that Shanks secretly helped him open a backdoor!

Not only Wu Ming heard Theo's mumbling, but Dachun and Ah Hao who were following behind him also heard it clearly.

"No wonder that old man with the scar in the escort agency has been giving us such a cold and sour face. It turns out it's because we owe him money!"

Ah Hao walked quickly to Wu Ming's side and spoke silently in a low voice.

As Wu Ming listened to Ah Hao's complaints, the scene of receiving his first mission when he first came to this strange world and the scene of Shanks secretly giving him the luxurious chair emerged in his mind.

"Never mind! Just consider it as buying off Brother Shanks's favor! Maybe he thought I didn't have that many Maple Leaf coins, so he kindly opened this backdoor for me. In any case, this favor is definitely not cheap!"

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then he responded softly to Ah Hao.

After saying this, Wu Ming shook his head slightly, as if he no longer cared about this little episode. He continued to follow Theo's footsteps towards the warehouse.

At the same time, it’s time for Lengfan to go to work!
