When he went downstairs and saw the wide deck, he saw heavy rain outside the door.
Heavy rain swept outside the door and accumulated on the deck, as if darkness had swallowed up the front half of a huge ship, leaving only a cabin swaying in the wind and rain.
The sound of the waves sweeping in was equal to the thunderous sound of the rain. In the face of the power of nature, the At, known as the hope of the empire, seemed insignificant.
Su Mingan paused for a moment, and was suddenly pulled over by Saya.
"It's here, we can go down from here." Saya took his hand and pointed to a staircase extending downwards next to her, looking very excited.
Through the obviously simpler wooden staircase, Su Mingan could vaguely see the highly saturated lights, with human figures surging inside, like waves cast in the light.
He heard music that was getting louder and louder, like rock music but full of exotic flavor, accompanied by people singing loudly.
It was an underground cabin that looked like a hall.
People wore shabby black and gray clothes, masks of various colors, and danced to the intensive drum beats. They generally had messy hair, even the girls' hair was like weeds, but their dance moves were very skillful, and their steps were extremely brisk, like birds spinning and flying in the hall.
Lights of various colors shone on their masks, making this place as free and unrestrained as a lively nightclub.
...It was completely different from the deathly silence in the corridor upstairs.
The people here seem to suddenly come alive at night.
His and Saya's arrival did not attract people's attention, it was too chaotic here, and from time to time other people came down from other entrances, jumping and joining in. They sang, laughed, drank, danced, and cursed, with no restraint in their words, like a group of wild animals that broke free from their restraints, like birds flying high into the sky.
"Bill - how many bottles today?"
"Seven bottles, seven bottles..."
"Seven bottles? Do you have a girl's stomach? Lynch! Give him ten bottles to rinse his mouth!"
…
"Hey, Cass, did you see that girl? Even though I can't see her face, she has a really hot body!"
"Humph... Valen is such a jerk. He doesn't come from a family with any heritage, but he wants to marry his daughter off to a higher position without even considering his own status."
"Whoever reaches the city on the sea and finds the treasure first will surely rise to the top. Valen, that guy, must be very confident in his treasure-hunting ability. You know, his family has been good at identifying garbage for generations..."
"Once I reach that city and find the treasure, I will come back and marry his daughter! I will make that bastard look down on me because of my family background. I will definitely make him dumbfounded..."
"Litch, when we get to that treasure city, everyone will rely on their own abilities. By then, I will become a legendary noble. Don't blame me for not supporting you."
"Do I still need your help? We don't know who will get the treasure. It may be the nobles who control the transaction of Art Stone. They will definitely get the clues of the treasure first..."
…
Su Mingan stood near the door and listened to people's conversation.
It was too chaotic here, and the music was as loud as thunder, causing his ears to be filled with a buzzing sound.
As soon as Saya entered the crowd, she disappeared and he couldn't find her.
He walked slowly inside along the wall, and suddenly heard a few masked men sitting on the ground talking.
"...Players are prohibited from chatting at night. There must be some ghosts lurking around at night."
"What should we do next? This ship doesn't look very safe, and we are at the bottom of the social ladder. If the ship capsizes, we won't be able to get on the lifeboat. We must consider the worst-case scenario."
"It will take another two days to sail, which means we will reach the sea city on the third day after the dungeon is opened. Logically speaking, it won't be too difficult. At least it will give us a chance to reach the city. I don't think the boat will capsize..."
"We can't rely on the mercy of the dungeon. We must consider the countermeasures in advance in case of a capsize..."
"Aren't there supposed to be some top players on the ship? Let's see if any big guys have taken some measures in advance, and then we can follow their lead..."
"Dear Qiao Qiao, stop thinking so much. Would you like some tea?"
"Go away, don't bother me."
Su Mingan moved along the wall and heard the conversation of a group of people who were obviously players.
However, perhaps because he had not moved for too long, the group of players seemed to have noticed him. They turned their heads to look at him, their masks hiding their expressions.
Before Su Mingan could move away, he heard one of the blue-masked people ask, "Player?"
Su Mingan moved away, not intending to pay attention to them.
Among the players, a girl named "Qiao Qiao" suddenly spoke:
"Although he's wearing ordinary clothes, his body is so clean, and so are his hands - he's a noble! A noble arriving at a place like this in the middle of the night... He's a player!"
Compared with this group of players who were covered in dust, Su Mingan's clothes did look clean.
Next to Qiao Qiao, the man in the gray mask stood up and seemed to want to communicate with him.
After all, up to now, this group of people has only encountered such a noble player, so naturally they want to see if they can get any benefits from him.
"Hello, player. I'm Captain Green." He said, "My team has some information. I wonder if I can share it with you..."
"ah--!!!"
Before Green could finish his words, he was interrupted by an extremely high-decibel female scream.
