Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Go and bring a sheep; I need to perform a divination ritual."

he ordered.

"Yes. What should we do with this kid then?"

First mate Saul pointed at Liu Zheng and asked.

"Take him back first. If he passes through this sea area safely, it means that the sea has blessed him. Let them board the ship."

"That's what the flamingo said."

"Understood. Jackma, take this kid away."

First mate Thor understood his subtext and shouted to the pirate Jackma.

"Why is it me again? Stand still and don't move."

Jackma muttered something as he took a bundle of rope and tied Liu Zheng up, but this time he didn't tie him as tightly as before.

"Take advantage of these next two days to quickly recall the rest of the story. If you don't tell it well, even if you leave this sea area, I will still kill you."

"It's a flamingo," the bird said coldly.

"Okay, Captain."

Liu Zheng replied with a smile.

"Captain, Captain, you call him that so smoothly."

Back in the lower cabin, Jackma said with a hint of bitterness.

“Boss Jackma, my relationship with him was just a fling, but my feelings for you are genuine.”

His name is Qu Dao.

"Really?"

Jackma looked doubtful.

"Of course, look at him, he looks neither male nor female, and he's dressed all in pink. I feel uncomfortable just looking at him. He doesn't have a single pirate aura. And look at you, Jackma, with your strong facial features and your unrestrained style of dress. That's a real pirate."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"That's true. My handsomeness is outstanding even among pirates. When I was young, the prostitutes would give me a 20% discount when I went to brothels."

"Jackma said smugly."

"You're amazing, Jackma."

He said enviously.

"So-so. You're not still a virgin, are you?"

Jackma teased, looking at his expression.

"You noticed that, boss."

Liu Zheng said admiringly.

"Of course, I, Jackma, have such good eyesight that I can tell the male from the female even from a mile away."

Jackma said proudly.

"I admire you."

"Don't worry, as long as you follow me, you'll have plenty of women. Not to mention the prostitutes in the pirate port, even if you want the rich girls, you'll still have a chance."

Jackma boasted.

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true, not to mention anything far away."

Jackma was about to blurt it out when he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Boss Jackma?"

"It's nothing, just know that following me is the right thing to do."

Jackma replied dismissively.

"That's for sure. By the way, Captain Jackma, is the captain a man or a woman?"

he asked.

"It should be a boy, right?"

Jackma said, not entirely sure.

"should?"

“He went to the toilet with us before, and we all saw it. But other than that, he never exposed his body, and he avoided us when he showered, so it’s hard to say.”

"Jackma said."

This is a world with gods and magic, where it's possible for a woman to temporarily grow new things.

"It doesn't matter whether he's male or female. That person is very strange. He knows more magic than the wizards in the pirate port. You'd better not mess with him."

Jackma reminded her.

He does have ambitions, but not against the flamingos, because he knows he definitely can't beat them.

His biggest ambition was simply to become a first mate, save up some money, buy a pirate ship, and go out on his own.

"No matter how powerful he is, I will always follow your lead, Boss Jackma. If you tell me to go up and chop off his head, I will definitely not stab him in the kidneys."

Liu Zheng said ingratiatingly.

"Really?"

"Really? Of course, I'll definitely tell him that you, Boss Jackma, told me to cut it."

He said with a grin.

"I knew you were up to no good. Alright, just stay put. Since the captain said so, you'll be fine as long as we get out of this area."

After dragging Liu Zheng back to his original position, Jackma said.

Even if we encounter unexpected situations along the way, we'll have to wait until we get out before dealing with them.

"Okay, take care."

Liu Zheng said warmly, as if he were seeing a guest off.

"What happened to that kid?"

After Jackma left, he looked at MacArthur and asked.

"I don't know. He fell asleep not long after you left. I don't know if he was too tired or if the pirates did something to him."

"That's what Player #3 said."

"He might be faking sleep. Should I try biting off his ear?"

Liu Zheng looked at Mike's ear, eager to try.

"So even if you were pretending to be asleep, you must have woken up from the pain, right?"

Player #3 complained.

"Not necessarily. What if he's a tough guy and can endure this without waking up?"

He gave an evil smile.

Mike's eyes were closed, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Forget about him. The pirates said it will take them two days to leave this area. If they are safe and sound in these two days, then they will let us join them."

Liu Zheng said.

"Something's definitely going to happen in the next couple of days."

Player #4 complained.

"I think so too."

He nodded.

How could we possibly let them sit in jail for just two days for such a difficult task?

"Moreover, the pirate first mate also said that something was wrong with this area. The pirate captain even wanted to kill a sheep for a divination ritual, but unfortunately I didn't see the result."

Liu Zheng added.

"That's enough, you've already gathered a lot of information."

Player #3 said appreciatively.

I thought it was a burden, but it turned out to be a great asset.

"In that case, we can't let our guard down. Although the pirates won't target us now, new enemies may very well emerge."

Player 1 reminded him.

“That’s right. Number 4, aren’t you a scholar? Do you have any intelligence about this area?”

"Player #3 asked."

"I don't even know what kind of sea this is, where did I get this information from?"

Player #4 was speechless.

He was just a scholar, not a prophet.

"Why don't you try passing the judgment?"

Player 1 urged.

"Are you sure? I haven't been right many times before. Don't blame me if it turns out to be a big failure."

"That's what Player #4 said."

"It can't be that bad. Besides, you still have potential points, right? You can just use them up and throw them away."

"That's what Player #1 said."

"Alright. Host, I have applied for a scholar skill assessment."

"That's what Player #4 said."

"What do you want to know?"

The voice of the female divers rang out.

"I want to know information about this sea area, the more detailed the better."

"That's what Player #4 said."

"You have no sailing-related skills and your character's background is unrelated to sailing, so you will have to pass a difficult judgment."

The female diver said.

Chapter 333 My Sacrifice of Cattle and Horses Summons a Great Success

Difficult judgment means the difficulty of the judgment is doubled.

Simply put, previously you only needed to roll a dice and get 30 or higher to pass, but after the difficulty level is determined, you need to roll a dice and get 60 or higher.

"Go ahead."

"That's what Player #4 said."

As soon as he finished speaking, two dice appeared in front of him.

Each die has ten sides, with each side containing the numbers 0 through 9.

The first die rolled is a tens digit, and the second die rolled is a units digit.

For example, if you roll a 9 on a tens-digit die and a 1 on a units-digit die, then the final number is 91.

If both rolls are 0, then the final score is 100.

"The rule of this module is that if the dice roll is greater than or equal to the required number, the judgment passes; if it is less than the required number, the judgment fails."

"Player #4's Scholar skill requires 80 points. If the dice roll is greater than or equal to 80, the skill is considered successful; otherwise, it is considered unsuccessful."
