Chapter 1 Deep Sea Affinity
"You little bastards, if you don't want to die, stand up and kill him. Show some courage."
"Go ahead, kill Black Bull. Only in this way can you become a member of our Black Whale Group!"
"That's right, let's add a little suspense!"
Chen Qi opened his eyes and his ears were filled with curses and cheers.
"It hurts... Where is this? What's going on?"
Glancing at the surroundings, I realized that it was not a familiar bedroom, but a completely unfamiliar world, on a huge ship.
The sky was overcast, the sea breeze was howling, and fifty men dressed as pirates surrounded him like wild beasts observing the Colosseum.
What on earth is this…
Could it be that they were targeted by a kidnapping gang? But why would the kidnappers go to sea?
And considering his financial resources, how could he be targeted by a transnational maritime kidnapping group? It can't be because of his looks, right?!
I won’t be sold to some weird island of rich women next, right?
What on earth happened... Chen Qi pressed his head with his hands and tried hard to recall.
His memory was extremely clear. Before coming to this place, he was clearly in his bedroom at home, preparing to start a new game.
Wait, the game...
Chen Qi looked at his dusty hands, and a line of illusory blue subtitles slowly appeared.
[A weak slave who has just awakened spiritually and is slightly deformed. ]
At this moment, my head felt extremely painful, and a large amount of complex information kept pouring into my head!
Steam world, flesh and blood colonization suit, black giant whale, high sky crack, thirteen witches, thirteen sexual aspects, new sun world, alien language...
Chen Qi had to grit his teeth and endure the pain like a knife cutting. It was not until more than ten seconds later that he came back to his senses from the overwhelming amount of information.
"I, I...traveled into the game world of New Sun?"
"New Sun" is a Steam-style massively multiplayer role-playing exploration game that uses the latest AI technology, has unimaginable randomness, and an unimaginably huge map. Even in its internal beta, it has become popular on live streaming platforms around the world.
The background of the game is a steampunk apocalypse. Before the original world entered the great electrical age, destructive cracks appeared all over the world. The land was polluted, the kingdom fell, the moon laughed, and the sun disappeared. In the cold world without the sun, mankind was once close to extinction.
When approaching extinction, the surviving humans studied the creations of these cracks, causing the technology of the entire world to develop rapidly and chaotically. Finally, with the efforts of thirteen pioneers, a fake sun rose.
Although there are still a lot of dark places, no matter what, humans once again have a huge land to survive on, and it has lasted for hundreds of years, forming a new human civilization "New Sun World".
Unlike most games with poor content, the huge open world of Xinri Game allows the entire game to have a large number of unknown props and content. As a result, a large number of players who sell rare props or information have emerged, and the trading market of the entire game is in chaos.
As a hard-working gamer, Chen Qi has also made some money by selling rare items and guides, and is a well-known guide blogger.
"Is he traveling through time? I can only accept it... That's weird!"
Chen Qi clenched his fists tightly and felt the sea breeze blowing across his cheeks.
Although it was hard to believe, when he glanced at the pirates around him, the smell of blood and the pounding of his heart forced him to accept the fact before him.
"But what is going on now? What are these pirates going to do to me?"
Press your temples with your hands in the morning.
According to the original owner's memory, he was a young man born in Damaro Town, Moonstone Islands. His parents had both passed away, and he failed to pass the town's spiritual awakening test and be admitted to university.
Not long ago, during an accidental fishing trip, an unknown creature drilled into his spine, causing him to suffer from a horrible deformity disease.
In order to treat his illness, he finally had to go to a big city to work alone, hoping that through hard work he could make a name for himself in the big city and earn money to treat his "deformity".
However, before this young ambition could begin, he was deceived by his so-called relatives, sold to a group of human traffickers, and then sold to the Sawshark of the Black Whale Pirates.
In the end, he became a toy for these pirates to gamble and fight, and it was even a question of whether he could survive the next second.
Both parents died, he was seriously ill at the beginning, and he was kidnapped...
What a hell of a start... After Chen Qi recalled the information in his mind, his frown deepened.
New Day has a lot of randomness, including a random start, a random player's background and talents, and they can start as an aspiring young man, a student, a detective, a dancer, etc.
Depending on the difficulty of the game at the start, players will also be given different spiritual awakening talents.
"I am a slave kidnapped by pirates..."
Chen Qi felt a sudden pain in his head. The pirate group that kidnapped him should be the Black Whale Pirates, the leader of the Four Emperors on this ocean!
At the beginning, I am on the ship of the late-stage BOSS force?
Although it was just one of the many ships under his command, it was not something that a weakling like him could challenge. Any small pirate among them could kill him ten or even a hundred times!
Even on a gaming forum full of bragging and nonsense, his start could definitely be described as hell.
A feeling of helplessness suddenly came over me.
I seemed to have seen a hint just now. Chen Qi called out to the panel in his mind. He was a time-traveling player and also a spiritually awakened person.
Semi-illusory words suddenly appeared before my eyes.
【Name: Qi
Nature: Light (You are a natural explorer, your inspiration is far higher than that of ordinary people)
Race: Ordinary human (mildly infected. If you don't get timely treatment, you are likely to turn into a tentacle monster with only reproduction in mind)
Occupational card: None
Equipment: A ragged black linen shirt that has a slight effect in keeping out the cold.
property:
Constitution: 7 (affected by infection)
Strength: 8
Inspiration: 35
Agility: 14
Luck: 6 (average for all attributes for an average adult is 10)
Overall evaluation: A slightly deformed weak slave]
Sure enough, Chen Qi was delighted and scanned the light curtain in front of him.
Very high inspiration, high agility, but average physique and strength...
And if his spine is infected and he doesn't get treated in time, he'll turn into a tentacle monster with a mind full of reproduction!
At this time, another light curtain appeared.
[On the sea, you have awakened a special spiritual talent, 'Deep Sea Falling Star'. 】
Spiritual awakening!
Just like the game, at the beginning, each player will awaken spiritually and gain a talent that gives a special bonus to the player's start.
Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water, then hurriedly checked his spiritual talent "Deep Sea Falling Star".
【Deep Sea Falling Star:
Appearance: Light
Deep Sea Affinity lv1: Although you do not have the blood of deep sea creatures, your spirit still exudes the faint breath of ancient beings in the deep sea. The weak ancient creatures will regard you as their equal, and most deep sea beasts will no longer regard you as a "human", but a "fellow creature". (This ability can be turned on and off by yourself)
Enlightenment of the Light: You will have a higher chance of getting more enlightenment information. 】
Two entries...Chen Qi's hand trembled slightly.
This, this is too European!
As a person who had been a poor man for many years, he had never seen such a heaven-defying spiritual talent.
Generally speaking, spiritual talents only have one entry, and the bonuses they provide are nothing more than weapon proficiency, increased appetite, increased luck, enhanced inspiration, succubus aura, etc.
The first deep-sea affinity alone is an extremely incredible entry!
According to memory, this kind of entry only has a small chance of appearing when the player is assimilated by an ancient monster of the deep sea and his body is completely deformed!
Not to mention the second lamp of enlightenment, which is also a pretty good talent.
If you randomly get one of them, you will be called the luckiest among the lucky ones!
The spiritual talents of these two entries really exist... Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh. He had always thought it was a legend.
Generally speaking, this level of spiritual talent can only be seen in the hidden main line BOSS that can abuse players thousands of times.
[Your deep-sea affinity affects the 'deep-sea creature' in your spine. It senses your terrifying aura, no longer infects your body, and expresses temporary goodwill to you.]
[Your body is infected by the aberration, gaining 5 points of strength and 5 points of agility. ]
Is this still possible... Chen Qi saw the reminder and suddenly felt his heavy body lighten a lot.
According to the panel, his spine was infected by a deep-sea monster.
This talent can actually suppress the infection of "deep-sea creatures" and strengthen his body!
In the early stage, 5 points of strength plus 5 points of agility, this increased value is already a very high value!
"Good luck..."
Chen Qi immediately stretched his muscles.
boom!
A loud noise made him focus again on the crisis at hand.
In front of him, a tattooed burly man who looked like an ox suddenly punched out, hitting a slave hard in the chest, and blood splattered.
"There is no time to think..."
Chen Qi took a deep breath. In the new day, the higher the spiritual talent, the more difficult the start.
Obviously, this start did not give him time to calm down.
Pirates love gambling, and the more exciting and bloody the gambling is, the more they like it!
They pulled out ten slaves from the dark cabin and had them fight each other on the deck until the last one left. Only the one who knocked down all the others could enjoy the next dinner! Become one of them on the Sawshark!
And he was one of these ten slaves!
However, in this "fight", the battle is not a chaotic fight between ten people.
It was a crushing scene of one against nine!
A slave named "Black Bull" used his two-meter-tall body to beat the other slaves to a pulp.
Even though the other slaves united beforehand, they still couldn't shake the slave named Black Bull!
Bang! Bang!
There was a roar, and Black Bull grabbed a slave by the neck and slammed him on the deck.
The others were all lying on the ground, without any sign of life.
I'm the only one left... Chen Qi slowly backed away and glanced at the deck.
On the deck, there were various weapons thrown to them by the pirates, which they could use at will.
Chen Qi picked up a nearby scimitar and held it tightly.
"Hehehe! Hehehehe!"
Hei Niu laughed wildly, and his chest muscles covered with black tattoos moved.
He glanced around, then extended his bloody index finger and pointed:
"Boy, you're the only one left."
