In such a chaotic world, happiness is obviously not a keyword that is easy to expand.

Five days have passed, and Doug has not yet upgraded to a second advanced skill. He still only has the skill of "Don't hit a smiling person".

That skill has no special effects other than making the other person feel better. When he smiles, the other person will still attack him.

Mo Yu did not advance to the second skill.

I have to say.

There is really no pattern to follow when it comes to the skills advanced from keywords.

…

After entering the town, everyone split up.

Cook William went to buy food.

With reluctance on his face, Piero went to a tailor to order a new flag and emblem pattern. Of course, he also had to find a painter to change the ship to the damn "Smiling Angel".

He kept complaining as he walked, what a stupid name! Why not just change the name to "Smiling Clownfish"!

…

Doug took Barry and others into the only bar in town.

You can always get the latest information in the bar.

"Ryan, bring me five barrels of beer and four roasted deer legs." As soon as he entered the door, Barry ordered food and drinks without even looking up.

Apparently, he is a regular here.

Ryan was the owner of the tavern, who looked to be in his fifties. When he saw Barry and the others, he directed the shop assistants to carry the wine, then he smiled and teased Barry: "Old man, have you made a fortune?"

Barry waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. We haven't been open for more than half a month. If there are no big fish, I'm afraid we can't even afford your beer."

"I heard that you went looking for the legendary Scepter of Poseidon. Is that true?" Ryan asked, wiping the wine glass and looking at Paul with a smile.

"That's right, but we have given up that plan." Barry didn't let Doug speak. He didn't intend to reveal that his captain had lost his memory.

The deal with Selma seemed stupid to him.

Moreover, once others knew that Paul possessed immortality, it would bring them countless troubles.

"Right decision." Ryan smiled. "I heard that the route to Heard Island is already crowded with pirates. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie. Many people were killed before they could even get to the island. There are also bounty hunters who took the opportunity to pick up the heads and have made a lot of money in this chaos.

These days, a guy nicknamed "Black Hand" has emerged. He killed five pirates of your size in one day. He chopped everyone on each ship into pieces, even the cook. You are right not to go to Heard Island. Take advantage of this time when no other pirates intercept merchant ships, and you can make a lot of money..."

Dark Hand? Doug's eyebrows moved. Could this guy be a candidate? "So cruel?" Barry was stunned for a moment. "Will Mahamadou let him slaughter pirates in his own territory?"

"Mahamadou wants to catch him, but no one has seen him so far," Ryan said. "The reason I know his name is Black Hand is because he likes to spell out these words from the fragments of corpses."

Oh shit!

It's confirmed! This guy must be a candidate. Only candidates will do anything to make a name for themselves.

His key words are either "killing" or "cruelty".

Regardless of the simulation field, this type of keywords is the easiest to grow in the early stages.

It just so happens that in every game, there will be such keywords. In the first simulation field, there is a killer who cooperates with the slowness, and in the second simulation field, there is also a guy who has awakened the killing power and came to teach him a lesson. At that time, that guy was ranked eighth.

However, in the first two simulation fields, he brushed the attributes too high, and those two guys didn't even make a wave.

But this time, he paddled for almost five days and killed several boatloads of people.

Moreover, there must be a lag in the tavern owner's information, and there's no telling how many people that guy has killed by now.

If he encounters a killing spree, he will most likely not be able to defeat it.

"Ryan, is there anything else new?" Doug asked.

Ryan looked at Doug, rubbed his hands, smiled but said nothing.

Doug smiled, took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it over.

Ryan took it neatly, put it in his pocket, whistled, and smiled: "Little Paul is getting more and more generous."

At this time.

The young bartender brought beer to everyone.

Ryan came out from behind the bar with a plate of sliced ​​ham, put the plate in front of Doug, pulled over a chair, sat next to everyone, lowered his voice, and said, "I heard that Vice Admiral Antonio will send out the navy to block the route to Heard Island in three days, shut the door and beat the dog, and completely strangle the pirates inside."

Barry was stunned, at their sailing speed, they would enter the route of Heard Island in two days. This news came too timely.

Ryan smiled and winked at them, "Anyway, you're not going to Heard Island, are you?"

He paused, "Then this news is not worth a single gold coin. I'll give you another one for free. Admiral Camilo plans to form a new legion called the Bayonet Legion. It is said that the Bayonet Project will recruit only elites. They will pretend to be pirates, enter the pirate group, and disintegrate the pirate group from the inside."

"Where did you hear about such a secret plan?" Barry asked.

"I naturally have my own information channels." Ryan smiled and said mysteriously.

"Ryan, I also have some news to share with you. I wonder if you are interested?" Doug looked at Ryan and suddenly said.

"What news?" Ryan asked.

"In order to deal with Admiral Camilo's Bayonet Plan, Mahamadou decided to launch Operation Vanguard, selecting outstanding pirates to be sent to the navy to pass intelligence to the outside world." Doug also lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Isn't it just Infernal Affairs? It's like who can't play it! Doug is still thinking of fishing in troubled waters. He hates that he was not the one who spread the news of the Sea God's Scepter. Otherwise, if he had muddied the waters and fished in it, how much higher would his attributes have increased!

Barry's eyebrows twitched heavily and he looked at his captain strangely.

"Is this true?" Ryan looked at Doug with suspicion. "The Bayonet Plan was only decided the night before yesterday. Mahamadou shouldn't have reacted so quickly. Besides, the direction you came from couldn't possibly lead to any contact with Mahamadou."

"I heard it from the Siren Selma." Doug said seriously.

"The Siren Selma?" Ryan widened his eyes and asked in shock, "You met the Siren Selma?"

"Lian, keep your voice down." Doug said angrily, "I traded a powerful force from Selma."

Speaking of.

He reached out and pried open the hard oak tabletop.

A corner of the table was like a piece of tofu, and he broke it off easily.

Ryan knew what Paul looked like before. He looked at the missing piece of oak tabletop and was obviously shocked. It took him a long while to come back to his senses: "What did you pay for?"

"Lian, this is my secret." Doug smiled, "If you return the gold coins to me, I can tell you a more important piece of information."

The siren Selma shocked Ryan. He reluctantly took out the gold coin Doug had just given him: "Little Paul, your news had better be worth this price, otherwise, you will never drink old Ryan's gin again."

"Selma is at the end of her life, and she plans to find an excellent pirate to pass on her offspring." Doug lowered his voice even more, "It is said that any man who can make her pregnant can get all the collections she has collected over the years."

Poof! Barry spurted out the beer he had just taken.

Ryan's face flushed suddenly: "Paul, this joke is not funny at all."

"Did I see Selma, or have you seen Selma?" Doug looked at Ryan and said seriously, "Even the sea god can fall, let alone the siren? What Selma gave birth to is herself. This is the inheritance of the siren. I saw it in the book on her desk. How could it be false?"

He seemed to remember something, and approached Ryan, warning him seriously, "Ryan, you can tell others that Selma paid a lot of money to have a child. But you can't tell others the secret of her weakness and inheritance. Otherwise, if Selma hunts me down, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost..."
