Many years ago, Erdini was also a pirate captain.
He was cold, reticent, and merciless. He killed and robbed, and he committed all kinds of crimes.
The pirate ship he commanded, the Ice Pick, was also one of the "Eleven," and was famous on the Sea of Chaos.
And now, Erdini had become Blackbeard's first mate, and he was the latter's most loyal subordinate. His battleship had long been sealed in a glass bottle, quietly sleeping on the shelf in the captain's room of the Queen Anna's Revenge.
During this period, I will not go into too much detail about what happened.
Even if I use very serious and even tragic words, coupled with an epic plot to tell you how Erdini surrendered to Blackbeard's power and the power of a king … it will be useless.
Because … no matter what, you will eventually think that there is some kind of unspeakable deal behind this.
So, I have decided to give up on this meaningless and futile attempt … I will accommodate you, the readers who are already beyond redemption and are not ashamed of it.
Let's continue with the story …
Just as Blackbeard was talking to Mad Eye in the dungeon, the three players had returned to the deck.
Not long ago, Feng Bujue had reached an agreement with Blackbeard in the captain's room.
Simply put, cooperation.
Blackbeard would try his best to cooperate with the players to complete the mission without harming his own interests, and the players would help Blackbeard as much as they could.
This was obviously a win-win agreement …
At least so far, the missions received by the players haven't shown any conflict with Blackbeard. Since they were going to act together with the pirates, it was natural for them to contribute a little.
"Wow, looks like this scenario is very complicated …" At this time, Feng Bujue and Snow had just finished listening to Hong Hu's narration. Brother Jue rubbed his chin and said, "According to what you said, the mysterious' Ken '… actually discovered our identity before Blackbeard, and his position and purpose are very suspicious …"
"I say … you are acting again, aren't you?" Hearing that, Snow glanced at Brother Jue from the corner of his eyes and said in a strange tone, "If there is that kind of special NPC on the ship, you should be able to sense it, right?"
Even though Snow did not say it out loud, but based on this sentence, it was enough to see that … he had already speculated that Brother Jue could "see through data" to a certain extent through his research on Feng Bujue.
"I can detect it." Feng Bujue did not point this out. He just replied in a weak tone, "The problem is … the NPCs on this ship are basically the 'special NPCs' that you mentioned. From how I see it … none of them are to be trifled with. If there is one, or even a few, who are especially strong, who purposely hide their strength and blend into this group of people … then even I would have a hard time identifying them. "
"Hmm …" Snow could not find a flaw in this statement, so he could only say, "Okay … I have to admit … the NPCs in this scenario are indeed a bit too strong. Some of the soldiers are even as strong as some of the scenario bosses that I have encountered before."
Before he finished, Feng Bujue and Hong Hu both turned their heads to look at each other. Then, Brother Jue chose to shrug.
Ambitionist cleared his throat and said to Snow, "Snow, I don't know if I should say this …" He paused and said, "This character of yours, you must have used a very short period of time to level up quickly, right?"
"Yes." Snow seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with saying this, so he admitted honestly, "I created this character on the first of December. From the very beginning … I activated the double EXP buff card and hired the team from Regulation to run the dungeons with me. I made good use of my gaming time every day. Coincidentally, I was just in time for the launch of a new version, and there were various activities and EXP rewards, so … in just twenty days, I rushed to level forty. "
"Sigh … That is where the problem lies …" Ambitionist adjusted his glasses and sighed. "In a game like Thriller Paradise, level is not that important. A method like yours will only lead to a series of negative chain reactions. First, your Skill Points will definitely not be enough, and that means you will not be able to purchase the equipment and skills inside the Thriller Box. Second, even if you can spend money to buy the expensive items at the Auction House or rely on the players to help you level up in the scenario, you will still face the problem of 'insufficient mastery level', and you will not be able to meet the requirements to use the items …" Ambitionist sighed.
Before he could finish his words, Snow interrupted, "Ah … Brother Swan, these … I know all about them." He smiled embarrassedly. "Ha … It's just that I seem to have found out a little too late."
Snow pursed his lips and continued. "The morning before yesterday, I reached level forty, and then I started to queue for the dungeon alone … because the highest level the studio can take is level forty." He paused before continuing. "And the feeling I got from queuing alone for the past two days is this. In terms of combat, the players around me are one or two levels stronger than me, and the professional players are even more so. Thankfully … I can be considered a player with a brain, so I can still be of some use in the team. With regards to the problem of mastery level that you mentioned … at this stage, I believe I can only spend some time to train myself. "
At this point, he changed the topic. "But … when I said that the NPCs in this scenario are impossibly strong, I was not judging them from the perspective of my own weakness. I think … the combat ability of the small fries in this scenario is far higher than the average level of a normal player team, and that is why I said that."
"Is that so …" Brother Jue, who had been looking around, suddenly chimed in. "How come I don't think it's that bad?"
"Me too …" Hong Hu was about to agree with Brother Jue, but he suddenly swallowed that thought. "Wait a minute … Think about it carefully. Snow is the one who is right …" He turned to look at Feng Bujue. "Actually, it is the two of us who are not objective enough."
"Haha … In other words, the two of us are now 'too strong', right?" Brother Jue instantly put on that annoying face and said a line that sounded arrogant but was also the truth.
Unfortunately, his smug good mood … didn't last for long.
In just two seconds, on the surface of the sea, there was a sudden change!
Bang!
There was the sound of … water breaking, and there was an explosion.
Following this loud explosion, a shadow shot out from the surface of the sea and flew into the air. Then … he fell toward the deck of the Queen's Revenge.
At that time, the Queen's Revenge was in a half-berthed state. Since Edini had not returned to the ship, after the battle, Blackbeard ordered the sailors to put away the sails and stop the ship at this part of the sea to wait.
However, no one expected that the captain's order to stop the ship would go against Edini's will …
