Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"No, I bought all the games, and my husband will also help me buy all the new ones."

This time, it was Yu Man's turn to be stunned. She didn't even understand it at first.

After a long time, Yu Mancai shouted.

"Fuck." This is the only word that can express my feelings.

What kind of young lady is this? Is she really that scary? How much would it cost to buy them all, and what's the point?

The little deer suddenly understood and became shy.

"If... Eel... if there's any game you haven't bought yet that you want to play—would you like... I'd share it with you?"

"What?"

"Well... I heard there's a feature that lets you share games with others. Do you want to test it with me... the 'family member' feature?"

Such a great news? Yu Man instinctively became excited, but the cruel reality soon made her frown.

“I don’t have a computer.”

"I have extra."

Xiaolu lied, and it wasn't much. But she had learned a lot. If she had said "I'll buy it for you," Yu Man would have definitely refused. But this kind of normal lending and sharing, Yu Man would have accepted it.

Yu Man was very excited to hear such a series of good things.

Having a computer would definitely be much more convenient than a broken old phone. Browsing news from the Old World, browsing forums, and gathering information would be much easier. Furthermore, a computer could connect to Old World devices, offering a host of expanded functionality.

The key is that Senior Cat now has other fun things to do instead of having to hold that broken phone all day.

"I--"

Yu Man’s answer is obvious.

But—the voice was cut off.

"——Brothers, help, help!" A private message attacked Yu Man and Xiao Lu at the same time.

It's Yago.

The deer drew out his sword angrily and kept slashing at the air, as if he was slashing at the chat box.

Yu Manze immediately replied: "Tell me more."

As someone they knew, Yago, a successful middle-aged man, always had a good demeanor. If he hadn't encountered something extremely urgent, he wouldn't have come to Yu Man... or even Xiaolu for help.

What could be the problem? Did the Ghost World Merchants attack Shimlabakken? Or did Yago lead his expedition to the sea and be attacked by an island, killing everyone, losing all their equipment and morale? Or even did the World Tree go berserk and destroy the main city?

Yu Man looked at the top of the mountain where his home was. The Ice Prison Dragon was admiring itself after taking a bath. It seemed that the problem was not caused by its shopping.

Yago's long speech then hits—

“I shouldn’t have rushed my daughter!

The shipyard was in a state of disrepair. My daughter couldn't stand my nagging, so she simply built a small raft and headed to our Shimla Bakken alone. It was obvious that she couldn't make it.

Her raft broke down halfway through the journey, and after swimming intermittently for most of the day, she finally found a nearby island. However, it wasn't a main city island, but a very wild pirate hideout!

Now my dear daughter is being held captive by pirates. The situation is extremely critical. After much deliberation, only the dragon-riding Eel God and the Fried Dumpling God can help. Please!"

Is there such a thing?

Yu Man noticed two problems.

"No, Brother Ya, if your daughter is dead, won't she be able to come back to life?"

"She set her resurrection point on the Pirate Island."

"...There's this kind of operation?" Yu Man racked his brains but couldn't understand what this operation was.

Yago continued, "She also refused to log off, saying she wanted to spend the weekend playing the Pirate Island storyline, but I know she's just trying to show off!"

Is that so? Yu Man was very skeptical.

Yago was very anxious: "Please, Master Eel, for the sake of our long-term friendship, help me this time!"

Have you been friends for many years?

"The reward is this number! It's the fee for playing with me!" Yago typed in a lot of zeros.

"Stop talking, Yago. We've been friends for so many years. Who's following whom? Send the coordinates."

Yago forwarded her daughter's coordinates, and immediately, a rather distant location was marked on Yu Man's player map.

Yu Man was also unequivocal: "Come on, Xiaolu, let's go kill the pirates - once this order is done I can buy a computer!"

The deer's eyes were terrifying: "Alas... one day I will take revenge."

"Ah? Did I do anything bad?" Yu Man was confused.

"It's okay. When fishing, you have to wait for the bite. That's what you just taught me."

……

After a few minutes of preparation, the two of them and the boxes in their backpacks had already boarded the Ice Prison Dragon and were heading towards their destination at full speed.

Yu Man briefly introduced the content of this trip.

"Do you want to kill the pirates? They're a bit far away..."

"Well, even Xiaobing would take half an hour to fly."

Unlike the previous route, Yu Man had never been to this direction before. Only some information could be seen on the nautical chart seized from the werewolf before.

You have to pass through two main cities and a dozen or so small islands with names.

In addition, there are many extreme weather and terrifying regional leaders.

However, this pirate island was not marked on the nautical chart of the "Ghost World Chamber of Commerce", and the surrounding islands were a mixed bag, so it was difficult to say how strong the opponents were.

There was no more news from Yago, so what happened next would depend on them going to the scene in person.

"Eel, do you know Yago's daughter?" asked the deer.

“I’ve heard it many times, but I don’t recognize it.”

All I know is that she is a super rich second-generation, very good at studying, and her naming taste is exactly the same as her father's, and she chose the name of a shipbuilder.

They were both daughters of wealthy families, so they must have a good relationship with Xiaolu, right? Yu Man thought so.

"Just watch me destroy the whole crowd by myself. You just stand by and watch, Eel Sister. I'll call you when I can't handle it anymore."

Looking at Xiaolu's behavior, Yu Man's thoughts took a sharp turn for the worse.

She has always portrayed herself as a greasy middle-aged man who only brings girls, loves to show off his skills, and speaks in a very pretentious manner, and she plays the role very well.

Obviously, they won't get along very well...

156 Pirates

On the dragon's back and above the sea——

The traveler took off his helmet and enjoyed the wind freely: "It feels so good to be out on the sea."

"That's right...it's your first time out to sea."

Unlike Yu Man, who had already done quite a bit of work overseas, Xiao Lu was truly experiencing her first time away from home. The sights of the world, the winds and the smells she experienced firsthand, all left her feeling refreshed and refreshed.

"Other players don't have flying mounts and can only take boats. I feel so sorry for them."

Yu Man didn't dare to respond, always feeling that this was a trap set by Xiaolu to lure second-round players into the pit.

The boat ride is quite enjoyable because you are so close to the sea, and you feel like you are part of it, rather than looking down at it. You can even fish while traveling, which the deer will definitely enjoy.

"Eel, teach me Old World Language and Dragon Language. I also want to chat with Xiaobing."

"...Is it necessary? You can just let Xiangxiang act as your translator while I'm away."

Yu Man felt her scalp tingling. The boss's request... was too difficult.

I have a lot of basics and am quite skilled in magic, but even so, I've spent a lot of time learning, and I can only say I'm just getting started. But teaching this to Xiaolu? That's terrifying...

"Master Jiandui Lulu, this is like a brand new foreign language that I've never experienced before. There's no real-world reference at all, and the difficulty of learning it is terrifying."

"Oh? As expected of the Eel Master, who's playing for the second time, he mastered such a difficult language so easily. He even knew clearly that he should learn this language."

Why are they all traps?!

Yu Man tried hard to make up lies, as if he was pushing some difficult plot line.

Xiaolu also cooperated very well, just watching Yu Man pondering and making up stories quietly -

Then he smiled and said nothing more.

Fortunately, when the topic returned to business, the deer immediately became calm and said, "Pirates and all that, look at me, I'm going to cut through the Gordian knot and kill them all."

"Not necessarily. Didn't Yago's daughter say she was pushing the plot there? I guess there's something to it."

"Oh, that's troublesome."

Doesn't having a plot mean you can pick up more rewards? Isn't that a good thing? Why should I be afraid of trouble? This boss is really hard to please.

But after thinking about it, in this old world full of stories, it wouldn't be a big deal to skip one insignificant side quest. Occasionally, it's nice to let the deer have its fun.

The price is that Yu Man can't sleep tonight. He will keep thinking, "Oh, if I continue to advance the plot, what if I get a tenth-level equipment? I missed it." However, this can make Xiaolu happy, so it is obviously worth it.

After a while——

"We're almost there." Xiaolu also got the sea chart shared by Yu Man. As a traveler, he has an excellent ability to read maps.

Since Pirate Island wasn't marked on the map, it was probably just a subsidiary island. Furthermore, pirates were unpredictable, so anyone entering this area could encounter them at any time.

She perked up, lifted the box, and translated the words to the Ice Prison Dragon.

"Slow down, converge the winter territory, sail in stealth, and everyone observe the sea together."

The Ice Prison Dragon did so.

In order to conceal the existence of the Ice Prison Dragon, it also summoned a large amount of dark clouds.

In this sea with unpredictable weather, such things will not arouse suspicion, but only curses at most.

"This island is quite lively." Xiaolu pointed to a dot on the map, which was also an island in front of him. "There are many ships docked in the harbor, and they seem to be quite powerful."

The information about this island is recorded on the nautical chart. Simply put, it is the kind of island that criminals like.

Ships with bad intentions come here to resupply, conduct illegal transactions, make connections, recruit personnel, and entrust or accept all kinds of dirty work.

People who are not accepted by mainstream society gather here to make a living, or simply seek excitement, waiting to get rich and then squander it.

There are also some decent people who come here to look for clues to a case, to contact informants, or to arrest people.

Besides these, there were pirates—and serious businessmen.

The extremely complex population structure and mobility are subject to simple order constraints here, allowing everything to operate normally. Even if there are any grudges, they will not be brought to the surface.

"How did this order come about?" asked the deer.

"Usually, there's a retired top expert, and everyone gives him a favor. This place is convenient for everyone, so it continues."

In other words-

"This is a black market island." Yu Man said the term.

Soon, these black market islands will also usher in the clamor of players.

A large number of players will come here to look for trouble or seek greater rewards.

Unlike transactions in the main city, transactions on the black market had no fees. Furthermore, if a certain place urgently needed something, they would often offer an exorbitant price.

Generally speaking, no matter what it is, as long as players can bring things in and sell them, they can make money, and often make a lot of money.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have pirates around?"

"It's quite satisfying. After killing someone, you steal the goods, then sell them directly on the black market and monopolize the profits. But no one is stupid. High-priced goods have corresponding bodyguards. Except for fools who take risks, you need to be extremely strong to grab a deal."

Listening to Yu Man's explanation, Xiaolu immediately understood one thing: "Then the pirates will be very valuable! They need to wear high-end equipment and have sufficient manpower."

"Ah."

Yu Man knew the ins and outs of this very well, because she really liked this kind of PVP content.
