Online Game: I'm in MapleStory
Chapter 6: The Test of Southport Port and Shanks
Without saying a word, Wu Ming stepped directly into the teleportation array. The next second, light covered his whole body. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a port.
Watching the villagers constantly carrying boxes of goods at the port, I could hear the unique humming sound of the port from time to time!
“There’s a boat here!”
Coming back to his senses, Wu Ming began to carefully look at this unfamiliar port.
He noticed a man standing by the harbor, wearing a pirate hat and blue pirate costume. The outfit was fashionable and unique, showing his noble temperament at all times.
Just as Wu Ming was staring intently at the pirate-like man, wondering what he was thinking, the other party seemed to notice his gaze and looked over.
The next moment, their eyes met. Wu Ming suddenly felt embarrassed and scratched his forehead unconsciously, but he still plucked up his courage and slowly walked towards the man.
"Hello, Captain! I'd like to ask where this place is!"
Wu Ming looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be smiling, and an urge to escape surged in his heart.
However, he realized that he was now in a village, there were no monsters, and there were many villagers around carrying goods, so it should be a safe area.
Especially those workers who were carrying goods onto the ship, they also noticed Wu Ming while working, and started chatting and joking with their colleagues around them.
"Hey! Where did this adventurer come from? Is he going to use our captain's ship to go out to sea and adventure somewhere else?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a young adventurer. I wonder how strong this delicate fellow is!"
After hearing these whispers, Wu Ming gradually calmed down, and his original nervousness and fear gradually dissipated.
In these words, Wu Ming keenly captured the key information contained therein, and a surge of excitement surged in his heart.
It turns out that the man in front of him, who is called the captain, can actually follow him on board the ship and set sail to a world of adventure that is even wider than Rainbow Island!
Wu Ming's gaze became fiery, as if he saw a new world ahead that was full of unlimited upgrade opportunities and the possibility of becoming a god.
"Hello, young man! Haha, just call me Shanks! I'm just an ordinary businessman, not some fierce pirate leader! From what you said, you should be an adventurer who is preparing to explore Treasure Island, right?" Shanks smiled heartily, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm and anticipation for adventure.
"A month ago, when I was transporting a batch of goods to the Magic Forest, I paid a large sum of money to consult Ms. Wei Wei'an for a divination. She said that I could make a fortune in a month by doing transportation on Rainbow Island. I didn't expect that she was talking about you, brother?"
Shanks looked at the young adventurer in front of him, and a sense of curiosity and anticipation surged in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the mysterious and fascinating divination ceremony a month ago and the prophecy made by the lady named Wei Wei'an.
At that time, he was facing business difficulties, with frequent obstructions in cargo transportation and meager profits.
The main reason is that a few years ago, the number of adventurers in the MapleStory world suddenly decreased. Even if the goods were delivered to the destination, there were not many people who consumed them. Now most villages are in a self-sufficient state.
In despair and on the verge of bankruptcy, he decided to seek help from the magicians in the Magic Forest.
So he found Ms. Weiweian and asked her to predict his future fortune.
Ms. Weiwei An is famous throughout the world of MapleStory for her superb divination skills. It is said that she can see the future through her crystal ball.
When Shanks sat in front of her, she told him in a gentle but firm voice: "In a month, you will achieve great success in the transportation industry in Rainbow Island."
"During this process, you will encounter a life-threatening situation, and the solution is that the first special adventurer you see at the port of Rainbow Village will be the one who can help you escape danger."
"Before that, Sanx, I suggest you go to the abandoned city first. There may be goods there that need you to transport!"
Shanks was full of hope for this prophecy, but at the same time he was confused. After all, there were thousands of adventurers on Rainbow Island, so how could he get this adventurer to help him survive the infinity?
However, fate always seems to favor those who are prepared.
During a mission to transport supplies to an abandoned city, Shanks unexpectedly met a mysterious adventurer, Dakru. This adventurer exudes an indescribable aura, as if he had experienced countless life and death trials.
Shanks talked with Dakru and found that they had a common problem, which was lack of money!
One is busy running around for three meals a day, while the other is saving money in various ways in order to acquire advanced weapon skills!
During the communication, Shanks learned that Dakru had a precious equipment cloak in his hands, but for various reasons, he could not use it personally.
Thinking of Wei Wei'an's divination, Shanks offered without hesitation to exchange the maple leaf cloak for maple leaf coins.
Dakru hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Shanks' request.
In this way, Shanks got this precious maple leaf cloak. When he put it on, he felt a strong sense of suffocation enveloping himself.
At that moment, he finally understood why he had to come to the abandoned city to transport goods. It turned out that all this was to obtain that special equipment cloak.
Perhaps, this is the way to gain the trust of that special adventurer and protect the supplies and your own safety on this voyage!
Shanks knew very well that this adventure was not just a simple transaction, but also an important turning point in his life.
As long as you get through this difficult time, everything will go smoothly and you can make money to support your family!
Just today, he accidentally met Wu Ming, the adventurer from Rainbow Island.
Their meeting seemed destined, which made Shanks marvel at the magic of fate.
"No, if you're the only one doing this, how can you possibly make money?"
"That's not right. Could this young adventurer be the one who can protect me?"
Shanks suddenly realized something. His eyes fell on Wu Ming again, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Although he believed in Ms. Wei Wei'an's prediction, he still found it hard to understand why this tender little creature in front of him could protect his safety this time.
Shanks fell into deep thought, and began to recall every word that Ms. Weiweian said during the divination.
Perhaps the “special adventurers” she mentioned didn’t refer to personal ability or wealth, but a deeper connection.
Perhaps Wu Ming has some special qualities or mission that makes him the key figure in fulfilling this prophecy.
The cloak obtained in the abandoned city made Shanks's last bit of doubt about Vivian disappear.
As time went by, Sanks gradually put aside his doubts.
He decided to believe Ms. Weiwei'an's prediction and began to test Wu Ming.
Although he agreed with Wei Wei'an's divination, for the safety of himself and all the employees on the ship, Sachs continued to speak to the adventurer in front of him.
"Greetings, young adventurer! If you wish to travel to Treasure Island, you must prove your ability to me. As long as you can prove your qualifications, I will let you travel for free. After all, this is a journey full of dangers and challenges, not just anyone can take it."
Shanks smiled at the young man in front of him, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. His tone was gentle and kind, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
"You're the first adventurer to appear in South Harbor. Judging from your expression, you must be ready to set off for Treasure Island, right? Haha, I'm really looking forward to it! I hope you can pass my test successfully."
"Because you are the first adventurer to arrive in South Port, as long as you pass my test, I will not only let you ride for free, but also give you a mysterious item. Consider it just friendship!"
Looking at Wu Ming walking towards him, Sanks patted him on the shoulder and spoke encouragingly.
A task interface appeared in front of Wu Ming. He was asked to accept the task and hunt 100 flower mushrooms to prove his strength to Shanks!
Seeing the quest notification, Wu Ming frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally decided to accept the quest directly.
"It's been so long, and finally a new quest has appeared! Perhaps only contact with the indigenous people will trigger the quest?"
He muttered to himself in his mind, but kept a calm face.
After accepting the task, Wu Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
He turned to look at Shanks, his eyes firm as he said, "Hello, Captain Shanks, please call me Wu Ming. Believe me, my strength is beyond your imagination! Please be patient, I will definitely pass your test before other adventurers arrive!"
"I'm going to book your free ride and mystery item!"
After saying that, he turned around gracefully, waved goodbye to Sanks, and then walked towards the teleportation array in the woods with firm steps.
Wu Ming's figure gradually moved further away, disappearing in the light of the teleportation array. Sanks looked in the direction he left, a hint of admiration and anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"I hope this young man is as strong as he says and can surprise us."
He whispered to himself.
After saying that, he turned to look at the staff on the shore and continued to give orders.
When he teleported back to the woods again, Wu Ming found that several teams were there farming flower mushrooms to upgrade.
"Looking at the time, I guess a large number of players will successfully change their jobs soon!"
Wu Ming thought secretly in his heart.
So, he carefully avoided those teams and chose to continue brushing flower mushrooms at the edge of the teleportation array.
After several fierce battles with flower mushrooms and exhausting his MP, Wu Ming finally successfully completed Shanks's trial mission.
At this moment, he was about to walk towards the teleportation array, feeling extremely excited.
"Keep killing monsters! I've leveled up, so I'll start with my profession first. You guys keep fighting. By the time everyone reaches level 10 and changes their profession, we'll all be able to live more comfortably!"
Wu Ming, who had not yet stepped into the teleportation array, suddenly heard someone talking nearby.
I turned around and quietly walked over to take a look.
On the ground blocked by trees in front and behind, the six people in the team tightly surrounded the spawning point of the nearby flower mushrooms. It can be seen that they have been spawning at this location for who knows how long, otherwise they would not be able to know the spawning location so clearly.
Although they were chatting all the time, when the screen was about to refresh, everyone looked focused, staring intently, and raised their hands, ready to go.
The moment the flower mushrooms at this location were refreshed, the six people acted like they had taken a pill and used the snail throwing technique to its full potential.
The next moment, the flower mushroom, which had just been refreshed and hadn't even had time to take a look at the MapleStory world, was smashed to pieces. It was as if each snail shell was a cannon, hitting the flower mushroom repeatedly and leaving it no chance to escape.
Then, the five people in the team retreated tacitly, and it was obvious that they were all acting according to the plan.
Then I saw a tall man with a confident smile on his face, walking towards the flower mushroom slowly and leisurely.
He slowly raised his hand and threw out a snail throwing technique, directly giving the flower mushroom the final blow.
The next moment, soul sparks surrounded the man, emitting a strange bright red light.
The five people in the team suddenly looked at the man wrapped in light in front of them in panic.
But when they saw the strange bright red light illuminating the man's hard face and his eyes flashing with excitement, everyone knew what had happened.
After all, everyone was just one step away from reaching level 10 and changing jobs, and those who reacted had a general idea of it.
Wu Ming knew that this was the light of career change!
Watching them gradually start their level 10 job change, Wu Ming was curious and hid beside the trees, watching them quietly.
In fact, I just want to know what types of attacks the professions they changed to have, and I want to know the advantages and disadvantages of each profession in advance.
"Brother Xiong, there are two weapons in the auction system so quickly. They look pretty good!"
At this time, among those who had changed jobs, one person suddenly spoke excitedly.
"Do you have any weapons? I wonder how much they cost! At this stage, having a weapon would really be a great helper to improve my strength!"
After saying that, the man known as Brother Xiong Er, who was actually the first person to change his job, directly opened the auction system.
After changing his job, Brother Xiong didn’t have time to look at other functions. After all, there were still five brothers waiting to be upgraded!
After hastily choosing the warrior profession, he activated the warrior's exclusive skill - Earthshatter.
After activation, you will need to consume HP and MP when fighting monsters to achieve the effect of hitting six monsters in a group. Although the consumption is large, the output is also good, but the hit rate is a bit low.
"Five hundred thousand Maple Leaf Coins!"
Xiong Er looked at the price and narrowed his eyes.
