Chapter 124: Wheel/Plate at Sea (2)
Gods are reserved by nature and should never allow themselves to fall.
Su Yue had this thought in his mind, but as the boat shook again, the dizziness of the ups and downs of the sea made him put this lousy idea behind him without hesitation.
What does it mean to indulge in self-degradation? Seeking pleasure is human nature.
Su Yue has indeed become a god now, but he was originally a human being, so what if he has human nature?
After all, it’s all the fault of that Lord God.
Discharge randomly.
No sense at all.
Did you know that your Lord God in the God Department is a green tea?
.
Su Yue was lost in thought and grabbed Cang Zhi's arm, holding him up like a horizontal bar.
Su Chen squeezed through the players, greeted them, and whispered in surprise, "Boss, Brother Cang, we meet again!"
Su Yue thought that he should tell the puppet about his previous cooperation with the Lord God in Niaozui Village, so as not to expose it. But then he thought again, since he was in front of the puppet, it didn't matter if he was exposed. Besides, he was really feeling uncomfortable due to seasickness, so he just smiled listlessly at Su Chen and continued to lean on Cang Zhi's arm and pretend to be dead.
"He's seasick." Cang Zhi said gently.
Su Chen looked at Su Yue worriedly and nodded in understanding, "Then you guys rest first, I won't disturb you."
Cang Zhi nodded in approval.
Su Chen stood beside them.
Su Chen looked much more mature than she was in the amusement park copy. A faint halo enveloped her. Su Yue knew that it was the strengthening potion she had bought in the rest area.
Experienced players will buy strengthening potions when entering the game, so that the probability of being killed by the door opening will be much smaller.
Su Chen has now grown into an experienced player.
The players in this dungeon all seem to be quite experienced. Everyone has the halo of strengthening medicine on them, which makes Su Yue and Cang Zhi, who have no halo, look like two ultimate rookies.
As for the others... Su Yue counted quickly. There were fifteen people in the room, including him and Cang Zhi. These fifteen people should be all the players.
The one who had just urged him to come over quickly was a young man with a ponytail, and he looked to have a bad temper.
In addition, what attracted Su Yue's attention the most was the tall and thin man wearing sunglasses.
The man in sunglasses was laughing happily the whole time, so happy that he seemed to be completely out of the game. Usually, people who give people this feeling are either mentally ill or very good players.
Considering the difficulty of the game and the overall level of the players, Suyue tends to prefer the latter.
.
The boat was still moving forward. The waters in this section must have been calmer because the boat was not shaking as violently.
The players were originally very nervous about resisting the wind and rain, but now they have relaxed a little and started to discuss the current situation.
"This should be on a ship."
"Where are the people? What do you mean? They just gave us a notice and then disappeared, right?"
"Be careful, they might open the door and kill you. This has happened before."
After everyone discussed for a while, footsteps were finally heard outside, and then with a creak, the cabin door was pushed open. A man in fancy clothes walked in.
This man is obviously an NPC because he is wearing very retro clothes.
Under the small leather jacket was an expensive shirt with gold buttons, his leggings were tucked into knee-high black pointed leather boots, he wore white gloves on his hands, and a large three-cornered pirate hat on his head, with a gorgeously colored feather from some unknown bird on the tip of the hat.
Looks like the captain of this ship.
The captain looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a pair of dark, sharp eyes, but his skin didn't give that impression.
The skin on his face was old and loose, with clear grooves and spots, the kind of skin that only appears on an elderly person in their eighties or nineties.
The old skin and handsome features create a strong sense of disharmony that makes people feel scared.
All the players looked at the captain, sensing something was amiss, and didn't dare to look away even slightly.
The captain seemed to enjoy the attention. He slowly walked to the center of the open space in front of the underground cabin, waited for a moment, and then clapped his hands three times: "Everyone, be quiet!"
In fact, no one in the cabin was talking at all.
The captain didn't care and continued, "Dear expedition members, we all know that a tragedy occurred yesterday."
"All the crew members on this ship died in an accident."
After these words were spoken, the cabin erupted in a commotion, and the players looked at each other in bewilderment. Although the captain was describing the background story of the game, the death of a ship's entire crew meant something horrible must have happened.
Last time it was the crew members who died, so what if the same thing happens next time?
Will these "expeditioners" be the ones who die?
Moreover, all the crew members are dead, so what about the captain standing here now?
Why is he still alive?
The captain did not answer any of the above questions, and it seemed that he mentioned that "all the crew members were dead" just to introduce his subsequent words.
"So starting today, you are responsible for the work on the ship. Otherwise, the ship will not be able to sail normally."
"Expeditioners, you should also know that a decaying disease has appeared in your bodies. If you cannot reach land within the time limit, you will all rot and die in the sea."
Corrupt lesions appear on the body.
Participate in shipboard work.
This is the information we got from the captain.
It seems that Su Yue's discomfort, in addition to seasickness, is caused by this "corrupt disease". Before entering the game, I saw that the team wipe rate of this game was particularly high, which may also be due to this disease.
"What is the time limit to reach land?" one of the players asked.
"Seven or eight days," the captain said impatiently. "There's no point in asking so many questions. Just stay aboard and survive today!"
The sailing time limit is only seven days, at most eight days, but the annihilation rate reaches over 60%. It can be seen that this game is very dangerous.
This is also normal. After all, the captain has mentioned a lot of killing points in just two sentences.
If all crew members die, then the cause of the crew's death may also cause the player's death.
The body was developing a decaying disease, which could also lead to death. Furthermore, it wasn't as easy as the captain said; the only way to die was if they didn't reach land within the time limit. This disease was clearly causing everyone's physical condition to decline, and Su Yue estimated that they would need to use some method to ensure their survival.
Finally, "reaching land within the time limit" is actually the least important factor leading to death.
"Now, let's arrange the work!" The captain clapped his hands. "The main tasks are as follows! Navigation, cooking, and cleaning. Navigation requires three people, cooking requires three people, cleaning requires eight people, and one person is resting. Now, I'll arrange the work."
I thought I could choose the job I wanted to do, but now it seems that's not possible. Su Yue, Cang Zhi and the young man with a ponytail who had just found fault with them were selected to the navigation team, Su Chen was in the cleaning team, and the man in sunglasses was in the cooking team. Su Yue was so dizzy that he had no memory of the others, so he didn't remember them.
After arranging the work, the captain clapped his hands again, signaling everyone to disperse.
The player who hadn't been assigned a job tentatively raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, what should I do today?"
"You can do whatever you want." The captain glanced at him. "Or you can be my assistant."
The captain's half-old appearance was scary enough, and considering that all his crew members were dead, it seemed even more eerie. The player's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "I'll choose free time."
The captain looked at him deeply and said, "Okay then."
.
The navigation work was carried out on the first floor of the cruise ship, which meant going up to the deck. Cangzhi helped Suyue up the stairs, and Suyue simply stopped trying and leaned on him, as soft as a cloth bag.
However, Su Yue was not completely lying there. He was observing the situation around him. He noticed that there was a lot of rust and moss on the railings of the stairs, and it felt like no one had cleaned them for a long time.
But the captain asked 8 people to clean the cabin, which means he had made such arrangements before.
8 people cleaning a boat, can't they even clean the stairs? Then what were they cleaning before?
"There should be a limit to the amount of affection you two can show." The young man frowned in dissatisfaction. "At least divide the work first, or you won't end up getting everyone killed."
Although his words were not pleasant to hear, there was nothing wrong with him.
Seeing that Su Yue didn't want to talk, Cang Zhi said in a good-tempered manner, "I'll do it."
The young man snorted and said nothing more.
There was a rudder at the stern, a sail in front, and next to the rudder was a well-fixed table with a parchment map nailed to it.
There are several ink spots on the map, which clearly show the difference between the new and old ones. The newest one should be where you are now.
There is also a black skull on the map, marking the destination.
Using a skull to mark the destination feels rather ominous, but this ship is ominous in every way, so it doesn't matter.
These three people were just responsible for steering the ship, controlling the sails, and looking at the map to give directions. While Cangzhi was observing these things, the young man crossed his arms and frowned as he looked at the two of them. It was obvious that he did not trust Suyue's abilities.
Although it felt good to get slapped in the face, the young man didn't provoke Su Yue now, and Su Yue was also dizzy and listless, so he just let him look at him.
Cang Zhi was surprisingly capable at this moment and said to the young man, "How about we two steer the boat and keep track of the direction, and you pull the sail?"
"Can you guys do this?" The young man frowned suspiciously, "Don't make any mistakes later."
"Why don't you take care of it all by yourself?" Su Yue interrupted.
Young man: “…”
It was impossible for the young man to do three things at once, so he could only mumble and work on his sail. Cang Zhi asked Su Yue, "What about you? Why don't you look at the map?"
Su Yue said gloomily: "I feel dizzy and can't see."
Cang Zhi was stunned: "Then you will be at the helm?"
Su Yue: "I'm tired. I can't handle it."
Cang Zhi: “…”
Cang Zhi looked at Su Yue's pale face again, sighed, and helped him sit on the stool beside the table: "Then I can do both at the same time, okay?"
