First Player

Chapter 3 "Let's try it"

Facing the shimmering sword edge and the tragically dead body of the deputy captain on the ground, Elena nodded again, not daring to express her anger.

Su Mingan sheathed her sword and walked towards the side of the ship.

The crew watched the scene in shock.

They never imagined that the status of hunter and prey would be reversed.

This young man looked inexplicably harmless, and he was not wearing a soul hunting medal. He was even lying in the lifeboat. Anyone would think that this was a very cost-effective robbery and there would be no danger at all.

...Who knew it would attract a tiger or wolf?

Su Mingan saw a chair on the side of the ship. He sat down and closed his eyes to relax.

The sun shone on his body, drying his damp clothes.

After the Yate self-destructed, he really couldn't find a chance to save it.

The ship's self-destruction program was started when Austin discovered that he was a soul race, which meant that his last save point had passed the time for the program to start.

The Ater was doomed and unavoidable.

Fortunately, he had already plundered the ship's profits, and there were no more clues. The only useful Stone of East At was also taken away by him.

It's just a pity that those special crew members died. However, after arriving at the sea city, he could not drive them, so it was not a loss.

...It’s just a group of players who stayed on the ship and were cursing.

They never understood until their death how this unsinkable pearl on the sea flipped the flag.

Su Mingan had a good experience of human nature at the last moment when the ship sank.

Because only he, who has mastered all the maps of the Yate, knows the location of the last hidden lifeboat. These people who thought they had no room for survival screamed, howled, and cried. They ran onto the deck and onto the rooftop, thinking they could escape death, but they could only be buried in the sea with the ship.

Although the lifeboat is gone, there is still a swimming ring.

Even if the swimming ring's chance of survival is slim, people still grab these swimming rings like mad dogs, taking out knives and stabbing each other. Father and son cannibalize each other, moral kidnapping... all kinds of human behaviors, which seem extremely cruel at the moment.

But he can't save anyone.

He didn't even have time to save Ming.

The moment he boarded the lifeboat, the big wave sank it. The straps tied to the lifeboat prevented him from being pulled away by the waves and the lifeboat floated up.

People appear extremely insignificant in front of nature, even the first player is no exception.

He didn't know if he would be strong enough to face the natural disaster after experiencing the dungeon.

But one thing is true.

that is,

This copy.

...It's really hellish.

Even if the player captures the Yate, it does not give people a chance to control the ship. It must self-destruct and disgust the player.

But fortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to push people to the edge.

After Su Mingan boarded the lifeboat, it pointed him in the direction to the sea city, allowing him to arrive safely.

And with the Art Stone and a soul hunting certificate in his possession, he already had an unparalleled advantage.

Whether it is the Soul Hunting Medal or the Heart of the Soul Clan, you can exchange it for camp contribution points.

According to Lu Shu and the others, the soul hunters in the sea city are not very strong, and no S-class ones have been seen so far.

The amount of contribution points he currently holds will not be less than any other player.

He was sitting in a chair thinking when he suddenly saw a stack of fruits being brought over.

Elena, who smiled brightly, carefully held a stack of fruits for him, seemingly showing her courtesy.

This female pirate is also very adaptable. Even if her own vice-captain was slashed with a sword, she still looks like nothing happened. She can even serve him the only fruit resources on the ship.

"Fresh fruit." Elena smiled flatteringly: "You must not have eaten anything on the lifeboat. Come and eat some fruit. We also have good Lunt wine here..."

Su Mingan glanced at the fruit plate. There are fruit slices similar to apples and pears inside. The watery slices look shiny and attractive in the sun.

On the ground nearby, the silent crew members cleaned up the bloody floor and put away the head of Vice Captain Carol.

The scene looked extremely funny.

"You eat." Su Mingan said calmly.

Elena's smile froze.

"How could I? This is the best fruit, prepared for our most distinguished guests..." She forced a smile.

With a "swish" sound, the sword blade touched her neck.

Cold sweat slipped from Elena's forehead.

She still didn't see how the other party drew his sword.

This is too fast.

"Either, just eat this plate of fruit." Su Mingan said, "Or, I'll cut off your head and stuff it in for you."

When his words came out, the barrage was frightened.

【Holy shit. 】

【? ? 】

[Brother Ming'an is a bad learner? ? 】

[These words actually came from Brother Ming An’s mouth? I’m not surprised that Lu Shu said it, Brother Ming An said it, this is too fierce...]

[The Tree Treasures Hobby Association expressed strong condemnation. 】

[I’ve always seen the first player speak softly and amiably (?) to NPCs, but this is the first time I’ve seen him be so threatening]

[These pirates are not good people... I just heard them saying that they wanted to kill people and eat meat. The female pirate's eyes were so cold that it was scary. Think about where Su Mingan would have fallen if he was not the number one player, but a weaker player...]

[So we can only see well-behaved NPCs, because all the unbehaved NPCs are gone (dog head.jpg)]

Elena showed a somewhat desperate look.

Under Su Mingan's gaze, she ate the fruit on the plate one bite at a time.

After a moment, she fell directly to the ground, like a beach of soft mud. It was obvious that there was something drugged in this tempting-looking fruit plate.

Su Mingan was too lazy to pay attention to these people's tricks.

He couldn't drive this kind of small boat, not even Ming, who had mastered the driving skills of the Yate. The driving method of the Yate was much simpler than this kind of small boat. This ship must be driven by this group of people.

He looked at the sea and vaguely saw the shadow floating in the sky getting closer and closer.

If for the first time he saw the city in the clouds tilted thirty degrees from the horizontal plane, it was almost above his head now, and it should be very close to the city on the sea.

Su Mingan raised his head and asked a young man with a low eyebrow who was cleaning up the corpse.

"How long until it arrives?"

"About two hours." The young man responded, not daring to look at him at all.

Two hours.

Su Mingan looked at the system time. It was now nine o'clock in the morning. It should be noon when we arrived at the sea city. At noon on the third day the copy is opened.

He found such a ship only after drifting in the lifeboat all night.

Previously, Elena and others looked at the sea, trying to find a fat sheep with a boat. As everyone knows, Su Mingan is also looking for them. It can only be said that the two are destined. Unfortunately, Elena's pirate ship was bumped into by Su Mingan.

Thinking of the way Elena and others looked at him at the beginning, Su Mingan also realized the horror of the superposition of his charming S+ attribute and his status as a person in power.

Originally, the charm of A-level was not very obvious, but once it jumped to S+, charm seemed to become a permanent passive skill. He often saw some NPCs staring at him blankly, and their speaking attitude became very friendly.

Even a pirate like Elena only wanted to take him to the sea city to sell him at a high price, or even keep him by his side as a male favorite, instead of killing him immediately or making him a slave.

He did not doubt that if Su Lin was very ugly, or if the player possessing him was a charming E, Elena would dump him directly into the slave cabin.

In some situations, the role of Charisma S+ should become increasingly useful.

Helps him negotiate with some difficult NPCs.

He drank the free boiled water he brought and looked at the scenery on the sea, feeling a little relaxed.

The crew members took a direct detour around him, not daring to breathe.

They paid no attention to the captain on the ground, as if they were afraid of offending him.

After a while, it seemed that the effect of the anesthetic had subsided, and Elena on the ground began to speak:

"Hey, I said..."

Su Mingan glanced at her and continued to drink water.

"Boy, are all the nobles of other empires as good-looking as you?" Elena asked.

Su Mingan ignored her.

"... His eyes look so clear, like he hasn't grown up, but he does things so cruelly." Elena muttered: "This face is blinded in vain."

Su Mingan still ignored it.

If his behavior just now was cruel, Elena, who slapped the crew's heads off, would be nothing short of a devil.

Perhaps it has something to do with life experience, which makes these people cruel, but they are indeed not good people.

"Hey, you are a noble."

Elena slumped on the ground for a moment and spoke again.

"Aristocrats are not all idle, raising flowers and entertaining birds." Elena said: "How can there be a guy like you who can use a sword well? You look like a weirdo among the nobles."

"What happened to your boat? Why did you end up sitting in a lifeboat and the boat capsized?" Seeing that Su Mingan remained silent, Elena kept talking, and it seemed that she was indeed very interested in him.

"The boat capsized...then you probably won't be able to go back." She kept saying:

"I guess you can only go to the sea city to make a living like me. But with your skills... it would be good to sign up for a soul hunter. I heard that the recruitment conditions for soul hunters there are not strict, and anyone with my ability can go. "

"Well, but I don't want to go. I finally regained my freedom, and of course I have to fight in the sea. Who would go and work so hard to fight life and death against that horrible race?"

"...You must have had a good family before. Looking at your clothes, you look like high-end goods, like a fat sheep."

"By the way, do you know how to arrange flowers and make tea? I heard that noble families teach this in their homes. Although I don't know how useful it is, these skills are not as useful as my wife's in sailing a boat. We wouldn't be able to survive..."

"..."

"Hey, talk to me."

"It's hard to find someone who can wink, but he turns out to be a freak and took over my boat... What bad luck."

Su Mingan drank the water in his hand.

While he was drinking, he suddenly heard this sentence from the noisy woman underground.

"Hey, kid."

"Be my man." Elena suddenly said: "I really like you, let's give it a try?"

Su Mingan choked.

He put the water glass aside.

“I’ve long heard that Praia’s people are open to the public,” he said.

As early as in the team chat channel, he saw that Lu Shu and others had been harassed by more than one group of locals.

Some want to drag them into the flower shop, some propose directly as they come up, and some even stretch out their hands to pull them away. All kinds of bold acts of love make them hard to guard against. These locals are like a group of ephemeral creatures, trying their best to court mates during the day, as if they can no longer see the sun after night.

"Being bold and bold in pursuing the person you like, what's the shame in this precarious world?" Elena snorted: "This is my ship, and the crew are all bought by me. Whatever I like, just do it. What to do. If you come to my ship, you are my man. I will pursue you. What's wrong?"

"I'll chop off your mouth if you keep making noise." Su Mingan said.

This pirate didn't seem to take her status seriously, and even at this moment, he was still so harsh.

"Enough." Elena grinned and barely gave a thumbs up: "I just like people like you."

Su Mingan ignored her.

He stood up from his chair and looked toward the sea.

There seemed to be many black shadows, large and small, marching on the sea.

After a while, he confirmed that it was the same ship as theirs.

Medium-sized merchant ships, large cargo ships, small passenger ships, even airships, jet skis...

All kinds of water vehicles travel on the sea and enter the port in rows.

He saw a piece of land.

The city in the clouds, which was already close to the head, was now completely covering the head.

The sun shines through the shadow of Yunzhongcheng, making the sea surface look sparkling.

Su Mingan ordered people to lower the gray flag to avoid being mistaken for a pirate ship.

To the muffled cheers of the crew, the small clipper sailed slowly into the harbor.

The water transportation in Praia did not seem to be particularly strictly controlled, and there was no one to check the identity. Elena, who barely escaped the control of the anesthesia, showed a ship certificate to the uniformed officer standing in the water pavilion, and was let go. The ship was even searched. None of the people.

The speed boat travels through the large waterway, passing through all kinds of boats parked on both sides.

Breathing the fresh air of Praia, Su Mingan saw people in colorful clothes, carrying clay pots, fruits, and salted fish of various colors, walking through the alleys extending in all directions on the land.

Splashes of water were passing by on both sides of the ship, and hardworking people were washing clothes.

Blood flowed out from the clothes, and the body wrapped in white cloth was dragged away by people talking and laughing.

Praia is a city of water.

Water is the soul of Playa.

At noon on the third day after the dungeon was opened, Su Mingan arrived in this beautiful city that was especially fresh and clean during the day.
