Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Looking at Shanks winking at him from a distance, Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he realized something. Although there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, he quickly remembered that he was in a safe area.

He silently put away the lounge chair under his butt, then walked towards Sanks with steady steps.

"My dear Wu Ming, that chair is actually not very comfortable to sit on. It's easy to put your butt on it. I have a more comfortable chair that I want to give you. This is because I recognize you and want to be your friend!"

Sachs lowered his voice and spoke quietly to Wu Ming in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

His eyes revealed sincerity and expectation, and his face was filled with a warm smile.

After saying that, Sanks didn't give Wu Ming any chance to react. He just grabbed Wu Ming's hand tightly and walked hurriedly towards his warehouse.

It was obvious that Sanks's level was definitely much higher than Wu Ming's. He was so strong that Wu Ming couldn't break free and could only follow the direction he was being pulled step by step.

At the entrance of the warehouse were large and small cargo boxes nailed together with wooden blocks. Sanks pulled Wu Ming directly over these boxes and came to a small corner on the other side where old goods or defective products were stored.

"This is the chair I prepared for you! Isn't it beautiful? I got it from the Golden Country when I was transporting goods!"

"The Golden Country is a drifting island. Many people spend their entire lives searching for it but never find it!"

Looking at the dusty chair in front of him, which could vaguely be seen as a golden chair belonging to a wealthy man, Wu Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes, frowned, and slightly turned down the corners of his mouth, with a speechless expression on his face.

Seeing that there was a golden statue similar to Green Water Spirit in front of the chair, pulling it, it looked extremely weird but also made sense.

"I thought it was another mysterious piece of equipment, but I didn't expect it was a chair that even a powerful person wouldn't dare to take out and sit on in front of others."

Wu Ming's heart was like a roller coaster, going from anticipation to panic, and now to disappointment. He could only shake his head helplessly and mutter to himself.

"No, ordinary chairs have attributes, so the attributes of this Sheniu-exclusive chair must be even better!"

Suddenly remembering the properties of the leisure chair, Wu Ming walked forward, touched the chair, and opened the item details.

【Lucky Chair】

Required level: 0

Even if it’s only for a short time, go and experience what it’s like to be a wealthy person in the Golden Country!

Sit on the fortune chair to recover 300 HP and 250 MP every 10 seconds.

Can be traded or given as a gift to the truly wealthy!

"Wow! This chair has twice the properties of a leisure chair! And most importantly, it can be bought and sold. I guess the price of this chair is so high right now!"

Wu Ming looked at the attribute panel introducing the chair, and the look of disappointment on his face instantly turned into a mixture of confusion and excitement.

"Thank you, Brother Shanks!"

He put the chair into his backpack without hesitation, then hugged Shanks's hand tightly, expressing his gratitude excitedly!

"Brother Wu Ming, actually, I have one more thing I want to ask of you!"

A kind smile flashed in Sanks' eyes, and he patted Wu Ming's shoulder and said.

Wu Ming looked at Sanks doubtfully and asked, "What is it? I will definitely help you if I can."

Shanks gave a mysterious smile and continued, "Before coming to Rainbow Island to transport goods, I once asked someone in the Magic Forest to help me with divination.

She told me that there might be some minor accidents on this voyage, but as long as I get the help of the first adventurer I meet at the Rainbow Village Port, I can turn danger into safety.

And you are the first adventurer I met!"

Wu Ming opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Shanks in disbelief.

He never thought that the first person he would contact after his first job change and the first person he would arrive at South Port would actually have a hidden Easter egg!

Shanks continued to explain: "So, I hope you can join me in completing this voyage and protect our ship to reach its destination safely. Of course, I won't let your efforts be in vain. If you are willing to help me, not only the chair, but I can also give you some things that will be useful for your adventure to Treasure Island!"

Wu Ming pondered in his heart, wouldn't it be even better if he could actually get something useful for future upgrades? Besides, this was also a rare opportunity, and maybe he could even get more experience points and rewards.

"Okay, Brother Shanks, I'm happy to help. However, I'm still a newbie, I don't know if I can be of any help..."

So Wu Ming agreed hesitantly.

Shanks smiled and encouraged, "It's okay. I believe in Vivian's divination skills in the Magic Forest. I also believe that you will be able to help us turn danger into safety and overcome any difficulties. With so many adventurers here, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to reach Treasure Island safely!"

"Actually, I have been keeping an eye on you since you put on the cloak I gave you. It was given to me by a very powerful adventurer. I could only withstand the pressure of the cloak for about five minutes before I took it off. But you, brother Wu Ming, can wear it all the time! This makes me believe in your strength even more!" Shanks said.

"I'll give you some more medicines. I believe you can protect the ship!" Sanks took out a small package from the corner of the warehouse and handed it to Wu Ming.

I took the small package and took a look at it.

[You get 10 red potions and 10 blue potions]

Seeing the prompt, Wu Ming directly opened the item details and took a look.

Red Potion

It is a potion made by grinding red herbs.

Restores 50 HP after use.

Blue Potion

A potion made by grinding green herbs.

Restores 100 MP.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted when one has eaten something. Looking at the chair and recovery medicine put into the backpack, Wu Ming looked at Sanks with a solemn oath and spoke nicely.

"I see. Don't worry, Brother Sanx. If there's any special situation, I'll definitely help you, considering you've always taken care of me!"

Wu Ming knew that he might have triggered a special mission, and he patted his chest and promised the captain in front of him.

What I was thinking was, it doesn't matter if there's any danger, I can still be resurrected, and I'll just have to be careful to avoid it next time I take the boat. I just don't know if Shanks still remembers me! Anyway, I've got so many good things, dying once is not a loss!

Although he thought so, the next moment, as Wu Ming had thought, a mandatory task panel appeared in front of him. Unlike the previous tasks that asked whether to accept them, the task that popped up this time directly displayed the instructions being executed.

[Special Mission: Shanks's commission, protect the safety of Shanks and the crew on board! ]

"Sailing on the vast, rough seas, unexpected things are always going to happen. For the sake of his own safety and the safety of the crew, Sanks, after careful consideration, has personally extended a cooperation invitation to you and decided to hire you for temporary ship security."

Task status: Executing

Reward: Unknown.

"The reward is unknown? I'm afraid you've already received the reward!"

Wu Ming looked at the unknown reward displayed on the task panel, then looked at the golden fortune chair in his backpack, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and complained in his heart.

I hope nothing unexpected happens during my time at Treasure Island. I'm just a newcomer who has just arrived in this world!

They walked out of the warehouse together and watched Sachs walk towards his captain's room. Wu Ming did not stay at the door for long and also walked towards the deck.

It was impossible to take out the fortune chair and sit on it in public, and the chair only restored MP/HP, which was of no use at all with his current full health. Wu Ming could only take out his own leisure chair and sit near the edge of the boat at the edge of the crowd.

"You lose, I'm willing to accept the loss and thank you for the 50,000 Maple Leaf Coins!"

"I've never been defeated in Gobang. Let's continue. I'll show you how I can bankrupt you with my godlike moves!"

"I'm telling you! I've started selling off everything I own just for this MapleStory world! If you follow my advice, you'll definitely be able to gain a foothold in the future!"

Feeling the momentary relaxation brought by the sea breeze, Wu Ming came to his senses and looked at the large group of people in front of him, like a vegetable market. Some were gambling, some were chatting, and the rest were enjoying the boat ride like himself. Of course, there were also some people climbing on the guardrail at the side of the boat, ready to vomit at any time.

It doesn't feel like they're desperately trying to level up, but rather like a comic convention with a hodgepodge of cosplay game professions is being held on a ship for a vacation trip.

Wu Ming thought to himself: This is truly a world full of vitality and enthusiasm! Everyone has their own goals and pursuits. Whether playing Gobang or chatting and bragging, it's all to better integrate into this world and adapt to life as quickly as possible!

Those who were lying on the railings by the boat, perhaps because they had never been on a boat before, still persisted despite their physical discomfort, hoping to reach their destination as soon as possible.

He couldn't help but sigh: "The world is so full of diversity and possibilities. Everyone can find their own fun and challenges in this world."

Looking at these people of all kinds, Wu Ming felt an inexplicable excitement and anticipation.

He knew that here, he would meet all kinds of people and things in the future, and experience various adventures and challenges.

And now he is fully prepared mentally to embrace this MapleStory world full of unknowns!

"Hey! Someone has gone bankrupt again! Keep going, is there anyone else who wants to play Gobang? I have a lot of maple leaf coins, they are all yours if you win! This is a hard currency that is more valuable than Blue Star!" The dealer said with a smile!

Those who can get on board actually have no Maple Leaf Coins left on them, but for them, a few hundred Maple Leaf Coins are also profitable!

In the world chat, the price ratio of Blue Star Coin to Maple Leaf Coin has reached an astonishing 2-1.

It can be seen how difficult it is to obtain Maple Leaf Coins at this stage.

Looking at them playing Gobang for a few hundred Maple Leaf coins, competing so hard that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, Wu Ming smiled!

Suddenly, a red prompt point appeared in Wu Ming's auction system bar.

Open the auction system interface and take a look.

“There really is a hidden boss, and he actually sold it!”

Wu Ming had put the two pieces of equipment he had obtained from killing monsters up for auction for some time, but he didn't expect that they had been bought by others now.

Seeing that the amount of Maple Leaf Coins to be collected was 900,000, Wu Ming felt heartbroken.

"Wow, this XinChuan is charging a 0.9% commission. How shady!"

However, these equipments were sold very quickly. Not long after the items were sent out, someone was taking over. Is this the power of rich people?

After all, if I hadn't been lucky, I would probably be in the same situation as the people on the boat now, and I probably wouldn't have even ten thousand Maple Leaf coins on me.

But after careful analysis, Wu Ming also figured it out.

A month ago, after that voice appeared in everyone's mind, not only the country's think tanks were analyzing the value points of the MapleStory world, but major companies and chaebols around the world also began to spend a lot of money to recruit elites from all walks of life.

The number of talents or employees under their management is probably so large that there may be duplicate names.

In this situation, aggregating Maple Leaf Coins was a complete breeze. Besides the weapons themselves being sold, the weapons and equipment that other lucky individuals had obtained, as long as they were listed on the auction system, were essentially sold out in seconds.

After looking at the auction system, Wu Ming opened his taskbar and started looking.

"Huh? When did you get a new skill?"

Wu Ming felt strange when he saw Falling Leaf Slash appearing in the character attribute panel.

Then I opened the skill bar and took a look. There were only two skills presented in front of me.

With doubts, Wu Ming closed the interface, stood up and looked at the waves hitting the boat. He raised his hand and thought about the Falling Leaf Slash skill, wanting to use it.

"Maple Leaf Slash!"

Unsurprisingly, Wu Ming successfully performed the skill, and he watched helplessly as his MP bar dropped by a full 600 points in an instant.

In the next second, a maple leaf floated down in front of Wu Ming. His body seemed to be controlled by a powerful force. He involuntarily made a strange posture and then rushed towards the sea at an astonishing speed.

"Boom!"

A clear voice came from the sea.

“Someone fell into the water!”

People not far from Wu Ming heard the sound of falling into the water and exclaimed and screamed.

At the same time, Shanks in the captain's operating room also noticed that Wu Ming fell into the sea at the first time. He did not hesitate to order the sailors who were good at swimming to jump into the sea to rescue him.
