"Main quest completed."
When Feng Bujue used the Pirate's Golden Key to unlock the metallic chest, the system announcement came. The quest 'Follow the current to find and unlock the pirate's treasure' was ticked off.
"Hmm … Let me see …" Brother Jue used both of his hands to lift the lid of the chest. "Hmm … That is quite a lot …" He glanced at the chest and then raised his head to ask, "Is this all?"
"Yes." Dianhai King answered in a rather depressed tone. "I have moved all the high-quality items that you can take away from this scenario into this chest … There are six pieces of equipment, four consumables, one other item, and two skill cards." At this point, it hesitated for a moment before adding, "That other type of item is what I call … 'the most valuable treasure in the pirate world.'"
"Hmm? Could it be one _ piece? "Feng Bujue said as he lowered his head to rummage through the chest.
"I don't know what you're talking about …" Dianhai King replied, "The treasure I'm talking about is …"
"Oh … It's this." Feng Bujue interrupted him and took out a large silver-plated wine cup from the chest.
Item Name: Blackbeard's Skull
Item Type: Other
Quality: Legendary
Special Effect: Unlock Blackbeard's treasure
Remark: Some say that after Blackbeard's head was chopped off, it swam many laps around the 'Adventure' before disappearing into the deep sea forever. Some say that Maynard hung the severed head on the battleship's tusk and brought it back to Virginia. One week later, they boiled Blackbeard's head and wrapped it in silver to make a wine cup. They sent it to the tavern for consumption. Until one day, a group of people coveted Blackbeard's treasures but had no clues. They set their eyes on this silver-plated pirate's head … Not long after, it mysteriously disappeared from the East Coast of the United States, never to be heard of again …]
When Brother Jue picked up his wine glass, he had already waved his hand to signal his teammates to come over and take a look, so they all saw the item description.
"Hmm … Although the quality is Legendary, it feels like … There are a lot of things that people can't understand …" Buu said after reading it.
Uub also replied, "Yes, it said that it can open Blackbeard's treasure, but it didn't say where the treasure is … And I don't really understand the things mentioned in the remarks … Something about 'Adventurer', 'Lieutenant Maynard' …"
"Humph … How ignorant!" Feng Bujue suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "You don't even know the basics! Are you still pirates? "
"I'm sorry! Captain! Sorry to disappoint you! "Buu and Uub replied almost at the same time, and both of them revealed ashamed expressions.
"Hey — why are you apologizing? You guys aren't pirates to begin with! " Xiao Tan was shocked. "And … why did you call me 'Captain' instead of 'Teacher Jue'?"
"Er … That's right …" Buu said rather woodenly.
Uub used his hand to wipe the sweat from his temples and laughed drily. "Haha … Because Teacher Jue is too imposing, I couldn't help myself …"
"Listen up! The few of you! " Feng Bujue, on the other hand, acted like he was still in character. He continued the earlier topic like he was teaching a lesson. "Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach … is a villain among villains, a pirate among pirates. From the moment he stepped onto the Queen Anne's Revenge, in less than two years, his name had spread throughout the seven seas, causing people to tremble in fear upon hearing his name. But … after a short period of glory, came destruction. In the end, Blackbeard was annihilated under the encirclement of two British naval battleships … 'Adventure' was the name of the pirate ship he was on before he died, and 'Lieutenant Maynard' was the man who led the soldiers to kill him. "
He paused and continued. "Actually, strictly speaking, the real cause of Blackbeard's death was … hangover. In that battle … if he was sober enough, the navy wouldn't have stood a chance against him. Unfortunately … there are no ifs in this world. " There was regret in his eyes, and he sighed. "After the battle … the soldiers found a total of twenty-five knife wounds and five gunshot wounds on Blackbeard's body … This madman fought until the last moment like he was possessed by Dian Wei."
At this point, he put on a mysterious expression. "After the fierce battle, Maynard ordered Blackbeard's head to be chopped off and the body thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. From then on, the legend of the head spread … and the more famous version is the two mentioned in the item's description. " He paused and purposely lowered his voice. "According to rumors … the Royal Navy searched Blackbeard's fleet but only found 145 bags of cocoa beans, 11 barrels of wine, 1 barrel of indigo, and 1 bag of cotton. There were no gold, silver, jewelry, or treasure maps …
With Blackbeard's death, the large amount of treasures he plundered also went missing. Just like what he said before he died, only the devil and I can find the location of the treasure. "
Xiao Tan, Buu, and Uub looked at Brother Jue with admiration and nodded in unison, "Wow … That's impressive."
It was unknown when, but the three of them had already sat down … and they surrounded Brother Jue, hugging their knees.
"Those who don't know might think we're having a kindergarten class …" Xiao Ling narrowed her eyes and looked at the four male players before her rather helplessly.
"Sigh … Which kindergarten teacher would tell children something like this?" Ruo Yu held her forehead and shook her head.
This was something she did not know … When Feng Bujue was a volunteer, he had told similar stories to the children. Of course, the result was that he successfully got on the blacklist of many organizations, including law enforcement, social welfare, and non-profit organizations.
"Is the story time over?" At that moment, Dian Wei's voice rang out again. "Feng Bujue, I've already shown my 'sincerity'. It's time for you to show your stance, isn't it?"
"Haha … What's the hurry? I still have one more thing to ask you," Brother Jue replied with a smile.
"After the deal is done, I will naturally tell you everything about that orb," Dian Wei said. "But not now … You haven't agreed to anything, so how can I …"
"I know … I know …" Feng Bujue interrupted him. "But that's not what I want to ask." As he said that, he signaled his teammates with his eyes and hands, telling them to take out the stuff from the box and distribute it. "What I want to ask is … after we've come to an agreement with you, can we still clear the scenario?" He shrugged. "You should know that … the main quest that we have left, the first main quest of this scenario, 'Find My Bones', is undeniably a quest that targets you and will lead us to destroy you. If we join you, won't that create a conflict with the requirement to clear the scenario? "
"You don't have to worry about that," Dian Wei replied. "As long as you follow my instructions, you'll be able to clear the scenario through the 'hidden plot', and the main quest will change."
"Oh? Is there such a good thing? " Feng Bujue raised his brow. "In that case, I'll give up on the deal with Brother Zun and form an alliance with you."
"Er … Teacher Jue, that's too unethical." Buu, who stood not far away, could not stand it anymore.
"Brother Jue, that's too unethical," Xiao Tan added.
"Stop wasting time!" Feng Bujue turned around and winked. "If something happens, I'll take responsibility."
Seeing that, his teammates understood — Brother Jue had his own plan. Thus, no one said anything else.
After all, if something really happened, it would be Feng Bujue who would offend the boss level NPC in the main universe. Those Zun, King, and whatnot … If they wanted revenge, it would be him.
Several seconds later, Dianhai King spoke again. "Then, let's sign the contract."
At the same time, there was a flash of white light, and a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air. It fell before Brother Jue.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue picked up the parchment and mumbled, "Is this for me to turn into a magical girl? Or is it for me to get some ass?"
"It's just insurance for our deal," Dianhai King replied. "One minute ago, you can betray the Count of Script, and one minute later, you can betray me. We're all smart people, so I believe … you'll understand."
