Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Chapter 8 Set Sail, Targeting Treasure Island

Sachs looked at Wu Ming in front of him. After he put on the cloak, his expression only changed for a moment before returning to normal. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This cloak is indeed only worthy of being worn by powerful adventurers!"

He secretly felt lucky that he had given it to Wu Ming, otherwise it would be useless to keep it. Now he realized that Vivian's divination had been keeping him coming all along!

"Besides the fact that this cloak has been blessed, is there anything else special about it?"

At this time, Wu Ming was also looking at the cloak with a puzzled look on his face, thinking to himself.

"Friend Wu Ming! How do you feel? Do you like this gift?"

At this time, Sanks said to Wu Ming with a smile.

Wu Ming smiled and replied, "Thank you very much. This cloak is indeed very special. I like it very much!"

"It will take some time for the cargo ship to finish loading. You can walk around here and take a rest. Once all the cargo is loaded onto the ship, you will hear the whistle before the ship departs. You can come over then."

Shanks continued.

Wu Ming nodded to indicate that he understood.

Shanks added, "It will take us about three days to go back and forth. I will probably be transporting goods to Rainbow Island during this time."

It seems that in order to transport subsequent people to Treasure Island, the ships during this period will probably be transporting back and forth for a long time.

After saying this, Sanks returned to his position and continued directing the transportation work. Wu Ming thanked him and began to carefully observe the changes in his attributes.

However, when he saw that the four dimensions of the panel attributes had only increased by two points, he couldn't help but have doubts in his mind!

"How could there be no other changes? Could it be that the suffocating feeling just now was just to let me experience the feeling of suffocation?"

"Is this blessing just the evil taste of that big guy named Harlin?"

Wu Ming shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "It seems that this cloak didn't bring me much of a surprise. However, it's not bad to have some attribute improvements."

Wu Ming decided not to dwell on it anymore. After all, the equipment and props in the game are always full of unknowns and surprises. Although this MapleStory world is like a game, it is real, and the changes are definitely more variable than the fixed programs of the game.

Perhaps over time, the true purpose of this cloak will gradually become apparent.

So he put aside his doubts and continued exploring Rainbow Island.

After wandering around the port for a long time, Wu Ming was bored and opened the world chat bar to read it.

"I'm almost level 10. I'm finally getting through it!"

"Is there a geigei who can take me with him? I'm still in Rainbow Village and I don't dare to go out!"

"I'm telling you you might not believe this, but the auction system activates after you advance to level 10. Someone's already put two weapons up there, and they're going through the roof. Someone even offered to trade them for a Forbidden City villa, but the seller just ignored them!"

"This is a true story. I'm level 10 now, and I was stunned when I saw the equipment being auctioned. The weapons with gray panels are so profitable. Why didn't I get any drops after killing so many monsters? It's so painful to see!"

"So many big guys have changed their jobs! Stop talking, I'm going to continue grabbing monsters!"

According to the boarding requirements, Wu Ming estimated that this was a test task that everyone needed to complete, and those people before probably just upgraded all at once, and now they may not even know that there is a port here, and things like Treasure Island. Taking advantage of this information gap, he should be able to make some money.

It's still early, so I might as well get some Flower Mushrooms! I guess I can sell them for some money later!

Wu Ming did what he said and stepped directly into the teleportation array again to find Hua Mushroom and ask for the skull.

I didn’t expect that so many people have reached level 10 and activated the auction system.

Deep in the woods, a large number of people who were working together to hunt for flower mushrooms appeared in front of Wu Ming.

Although there are a lot of people, most of them are teams of five people and teams of six people with five leading one.

There are not many teams in some areas where flower mushrooms refresh quickly. After all, if there is a problem with the coordination, you will die at least once or twice.

And if you die once, your current experience will be cleared, and the higher your level, the greater the loss.

Wu Ming estimated that the number of people who died at the hands of Hua Mushroom may have exceeded ten thousand!

He walked to a more secluded part of the woods and found a place where the refresh rate was fast. Wu Ming spent about one or two hours on it.

While using magic double-click, he also had to prevent the skills from hitting the mushroom caps. After the attack, he took out the long sword to cut the mushroom caps and put them into the backpack. Slowly, the corpses of the flower mushrooms around Wu Ming had no mushroom caps.

After collecting more than two thousand mushroom caps, Wu Ming finally discovered the benefits of the novice weapon, the long sword. Although the attack power was not high, it was very useful for prying skulls without getting his hands dirty.

The death was horrific, and they looked like chicken leg mushrooms without the mushroom heads. Also, due to the influence of the rules of this MapleStory world, these horrible mushroom segments turned into light particles and disappeared one after another not long after their death.

After fighting for an hour or two and reaching level 15, Wu Ming could no longer gain experience and gold coins because his own level was five levels higher than the monster's level.

Looking at the backpack filled with more than two thousand mushroom caps and several red and blue potions, Wu Ming returned to the port with satisfaction, intending to wait for the ship to depart for the Treasure Island continent.

Return to port.

Wu Ming had already discovered a large group of people setting up stalls and chatting. It felt like he had entered a flea market selling junk.

Walking along the way, most of the stalls had words written on them, and most of them were girls selling their bodies. A few were bartering, and only a few had real goods!

Wu Ming walked around and saw that most of the people he saw were people who did not have the ability to get mushroom caps to pass the test of Shanks. They could only set up stalls in this port and wanted to exchange Blue Star's supplies for mushroom caps.

Walking towards the stall in front, I saw a green apple lying quietly on a large white cloth.

The stall owner saw someone coming and looked directly at Wu Ming and started talking.

"Brother, would you like to take a look? The moment I saw you, I knew you were an expert among experts. You must be able to afford this super-effective recovery potion in my hand! This green apple is a great fruit that can restore 30 MP!"

As he spoke, he picked up the green apple and waved it in front of Wu Ming.

Wu Ming directly clicked on the properties of the green apple in front of him and took a look.

【Green Apple】

Sweet and sour taste, snails' favorite!

Taking it can immediately restore 30MP.

After reading the properties, Wu Ming was so confused that he left without looking back.

My goodness, a double cast of my magic consumes 20MP. This green apple is not even enough to launch two attacks. For Wu Ming now, it is useless!

After all, Wu Ming has now drunk the blue potion that increases +100MP.

After reading it, Wu Ming found a secluded place to sit down, got a wooden board to write on, thought for a long time, and compared the number of maple leaf coins he had obtained from killing monsters and leveling up in his backpack. Finally, he decided to be a good person!

I saw Wu Ming writing a sentence on the wooden board: 500 Maple Leaf Coins for a mushroom cap, first come first served, the quantity is limited, you have to pay first and get the goods first!

After finishing writing, I lay down and looked at the girls around me who were trying hard to show off their charm. I have to say, probably because they had some minor adjustments, every girl’s figure was top-notch and beautiful.

Not long after, a man appeared in front of Wu Ming's stall and started shouting and screaming.

"Damn, there's a big boss out there, someone's actually selling mushroom caps here!"

This exclamation drew everyone's attention to the wooden board above Wu Ming's stall.

"It's you!"

"You actually reached level 10? And hunted mushroom caps?"

Wu Ming looked towards the voice and saw those people staring at him with surprised expressions.

At the same time, a sudden humming sound reached everyone's ears.

"I want to change it quickly, it looks like the boat is about to sail!"

Wu Ming ignored everyone's gaze and took the opportunity to shout.

"Fuck! He's so arrogant! I think he must have been hiding and watching others fight until the end before going up to grab the monsters. Otherwise, how could he level up so quickly?"

"Let this despicable fellow get rich, a petty thief!"

Looking at the people who kept buying mushroom caps from Wu Ming, the captains who had previously invited Wu Ming to form a team grumbled sourly.

These low-level monster body parts cannot be put on the auction system, otherwise Wu Ming would have wanted to bid tens of thousands of Maple Leaf Coins each for auction, so that the current situation where everyone knows about this matter will not have occurred.

Now, most people have the opportunity to board the ship because of the deal with Wu Ming, but they still need to pay the captain for the boat ride. After all, not everyone is like Wu Ming.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

The final whistle of the ship's departure sounded again.

Those who had received Shanks's approval lined up to board the ship. Except for Wu Ming, everyone else had to pay 15,000 yuan for the fare. Those who didn't have money were directly "invited" off by the registration workers on the ship!

Gradually, those who could get on the boat lined up, and those who passed the task by purchasing Wu Ming's flower mushroom caps all looked at Wu Ming with gratitude when they got on the boat.

Where there is good, there is definitely bad.

Wu Ming had mixed feelings. After all, most of the people on the boat bought flower mushroom caps to complete the mission, and some also paid for the boat fare with maple leaf coins.

And below the ship, at the harbor, there was still a dense crowd of people. Among this crowd, a small number of people bought Wu Ming's flower mushroom caps but did not have enough money to pay the boat fare. Most of these people hated the rich.

The ship at the port was ready to depart for Treasure Island, but because of Wu Ming's selling of flower mushroom caps, the hatred of the rich among most people was aroused, and the first famous scene in the history of the MapleStory world appeared!

The sun's extremely hot light shines down from high above, like countless golden needles piercing the earth.

It was as if the entire world was enveloped by this intense light, leaving no escape. Meanwhile, the people on board sat comfortably in the shade of the deck, chatting and laughing.

They were beaming with joy, looking relaxed and happy, laughing heartily and unrestrainedly, and from time to time they pointed at the densely packed crowd below in the harbor with exaggerated and contemptuous gestures.

The people down at the harbor were suffering from the scorching sun, their skin burning painfully. They frowned, sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Because of the sunlight, when they tried to look up at the boat, they saw the dazzling sunlight. The light was like a sharp blade, which hurt their eyes.

The angry people at the port, who hated the rich, kept pointing and cursing at the people on the boat. The silent people blinked frequently, trying to see the situation on the boat, but when they couldn't see clearly, they could hear the malicious and mocking words in their ears.

At this moment, poverty and wealth seem to be embodied!

Of course, this picture is just a picture in the minds of those who hate the rich. In fact, after getting on the boat, the eyes of the people on the boat were full of curiosity, curiosity about the other side of the sea, curiosity about the sea, and curiosity about the fact that this boat was made entirely of wood!

However, the exclamations caused by surprise, due to the distance, reached the port and the ears of the mentally distorted people, and turned into mocking sounds.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

This time the whistle was obviously different from the previous one. It was a low roar like the sound of a large ship starting up!

The moment the ship left the port, its destination was Treasure Island!

"Let's sail! I never thought so many adventurers would want to venture to Treasure Island. It really caught me off guard. Since my ship is just an ordinary large cargo ship, I don't have any accommodations for the adventurers.

Therefore, you may have to endure a little discomfort on this voyage to Treasure Island and have to rest on the deck. However, please rest assured that our journey will not be long and we are confident that we will reach our destination soon.

Fortunately, I had shipped a batch of chairs before, and there were still many chairs piled up in the cabin.

To express my apologies and welcome to everyone, I have decided to give each of the 5000 adventurers boarding the ship today a free chair. I hope these chairs can bring you some comfort and convenience.

As Shanks spoke, he directed the crew to go into the warehouse to move stools and distribute them to the crowd on the deck.

As a businessman, it's a good deal to use items worth a few dollars to prevent possible riots!

Soon, green beach chairs made of wood and canvas were delivered to everyone. Although the people who received the chairs complained that they could only buy standing tickets with 15,000 maple leaf coins, they still sat down directly.

【Lounge Chair】

Untradeable, discardable.

Required level: 0

Sitting in the leisure chair can restore MP/HP 50 every 10 seconds.

Cannot be exchanged or traded.

Wu Ming looked at the chair handed to him and habitually opened the attribute details. Looking at the attributes in front of him, Wu Ming laughed out loud with joy.

"Wow, this chair is a god-level chair!"

"If I had this chair before, I wouldn't have to clear my MP and rest for ten minutes every time before leveling up!

With this chair, I estimate that the time required to upgrade to level 15 can be reduced by about one third."

I couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly people around me also started to make strange exclamations of praise such as "Wow! Great! 666" and so on.

In a few minutes, everyone noticed it and sat on the chairs to touch it, unable to let it go.

At this time, Wu Ming found that Sanks was looking at him and winking at him.
