Joey was the last to be kicked awake by Zonyan Grayclaw. When he opened his eyes, he found Vulcan staring back at him.
Vulcan smiled, baring his teeth. "You're awake. Your bag is empty!"
Joey promptly pushed him away and pulled open the small bag he was carrying over his chest, breathing a sigh of relief when he found that his precious belongings were still there. "Stop it. You scared me to death."
"Isn't it just some materials for Hundred Hunts? Do you have to be so precious?" Vulcan said nonchalantly.
Hundred Hunts was a beginner skill for Rangers, and the materials it needed were very affordable and could be gathered in the first dungeon.
Joey didn't answer, and merely glanced at Zonyan Grayclaw quietly. Vulcan immediately understood what he meant.
In a party with a super Trash Hand, even the lowest-grade Boulder could make a huge hole …
Zonyan Grayclaw acted as if he didn't see their interaction, and simply asked the Long-Ears called Laybit, "How do we get to the Leon Savanna from here?"
"From here, go around the reef area, walk past Timatite, cross the Vierlin Plains, and you'll arrive."
Laybit answered. "It's about three days."
"Is that so …" Zonyan mused. "Could you bring us there?"
Zonyan was once the chief of the Grayclaw tribe. Though he didn't live like a prince, he rarely traveled far, and the Vierlin Plains was basically his largest area of activity, which was why he naturally didn't know the way around here.
"Sure if you pay." Laybit's rabbit ears perked up.
Zonyan's expression turned awkward then.
It wasn't that he didn't have money, but the problem was that all his money was game coins … and the Western Continent's currency was the same as the Eastern Continent's: copper, Rions, and Abbys.
That was when Vulcan, who was tugging at Joey, saw Laybit and his eyes widened.
Feeling that the rabbit-eared girl with short pink hair and thin bangs who appeared docile but carried a faint sense of toughness and was soft on the outside but tough on the inside had completely hit his sweet spot, he shoved Joey away and brushed his hair aside, before inserting himself between Laybit and Zonyan in a very pompous manner.
"Miss, my name is Vulcan. Are you interested in having a meal with me?" Vulcan's eyebrows kept shaking as he said in a deliberately low voice.
"Are you blind?" Laybit's ears drooped and he looked unhappy. "I'm a man."
Vulcan's face fell, and he couldn't even maintain his flamboyant expression. "How, how is this possible?"
"That's how the Long-Ears are."
Zonyan clapped Vulcan on the shoulder.
"I have no money with me," he said, turning to Abby, "but I can give you something as collateral. What do you think?"
After saying that, he took out a bottle of watered-down cola, a bottle of watered-down Fanta, and a bottle of watered-down Jiji Syrup.
Abby looked at the drinks, which were mostly seawater, suspiciously.
Zonyan: "…"
Zonyan was a little overwhelmed as well. As a Player who had been quietly carrying bricks and earning money while the other Players were farming monsters for EXP and equipment, he was actually very rich, but the problem was that he couldn't take it out … or rather, they wouldn't acknowledge it even if he did!
It's all that damned ship's fault!
Having learned their lesson from the small wooden boat, they had saved up for a long time before finally redeeming the last and most luxurious ship on the list.
It was called the Titanic.
Zonyan was certain that it was the most powerful ship of all when he saw its name!
It was a titan! Far larger than giants, its head could touch the skies, its feet could crush the earth, it could punch Bechymos, kick dragons, and tear Leviathan apart with its bare hands. It was a mythical creature that only existed before the War of Gods and Demons!
There was no question that a ship named after a titan was the most powerful!
And that was the truth. Almost every Player was excited when they saw how huge the ship was — Marni even patted his chest and assured them that it was the biggest ship he had ever seen in his years as a merchant.
Hence, after redeeming the Titanic and moving their supplies onboard, they chased Marni off after he sneaked aboard and promptly boarded the huge cruise ship, following the nautical chart given by the System and heading for the Western Continent.
Logically speaking, the nautical chart should have been the safest since the Society of the Secret Eye's smuggling business used that route.
In the end, for some reason, an iceberg whale crashed into the cruise ship halfway, causing the entire Titanic to break in the middle and slowly sink into the sea …
The Players on the ship were forced to board lifeboats and drift across the endless ocean.
It was only when Zonyan and the others woke up at the Dark Tide Coast that they realized that the other Players who Zonyan had recruited for the quest had all ended their drifting lives and returned to the town, and were now attending a banquet in the elven capital of Trinia.
Even though they did reach the Western Continent safely from a certain perspective, Zonyan still felt a little strange when he remembered the process.
'Do I really believe in the God of Games, and not the God of Shipwrecks …'
Laybit wasn't interested in Zonyan's drinks (in fact, the effects of those drinks were still there, albeit at a reduced rate), and it was Joey who used his Hundred Hunts skill to create a few smoke grenades in exchange for Laybit's agreement to guide them to the Grayclaw Tribe.
Naturally, Laybit had to return to the tribe and talk to his father the chief before they left since they were leaving for two days, and they could sell some corals and other items that didn't rot easily.
On the way back to the Long Ears' village, Vulcan, who had finally pulled himself together, maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and kept asking about Laybit's well-being, leaving Joey with goosebumps.
"Brother Vulcan, do you have to be like this?"
He asked quietly, pulling Vulcan aside.
"What do you mean?" Vulcan appeared puzzled.
"That's right … Could it be that you're suffering from selective amnesia because of the shock?" Joey asked uneasily.
"What agitation? I just thought the girl was cute and was trying to please her … "Vulcan replied.
"That's the problem!" Joey said solemnly, afraid that he would agitate Vulcan again. "Laybit might be cute, but he's a man!"
"Hmph." Vulcan sneered. But just when Joey assumed that he wasn't convinced and was about to convince him, Vulcan grinned and gave him a thumbs up. "Isn't that better?!"
'I see.' Stunned, Joey finally understood one thing: Vulcan wasn't suffering selective amnesia after being agitated, but had gone mad (gay) …
