Chapter 49: All you care about is the S Player's title…

In the distance, pirates are stationed in the sea area.

「Crackle—」 the sound of flames burning, firelight flickering on every face, repressed emotions flowing between.

「What's going on? 」 A roughly dressed group gathered around the bonfire, faces grim.

「We said we'd settle the Chang Clan, so why is the Chang Clan's fleet still appearing?! 」 One, overcome by repressed emotion, shouted.

「We were tricked by that old Xu guy! 」 Attached: 「Use him as a gun! 」

「Old Three, Old Four! 」 The two's complaints were stopped; the one with a long beard said: 「Let the old one say a couple of words. 」

Since receiving the news of the Chang Clan fleet departing the port, they also lost their former arrogance; pirates are ultimately regular troops, after all, some places survive by living, because only by living can one be a pirate; speaking of combat power, they are basically no match for regular troops.

「Withdraw. 」 The leader raised his head, firelight flickering in his eyes: 「Leave everything behind, mount up and go; once the Chang Clan retrieves their supplies, they'll likely continue the pursuit. 」

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Without those supplies, and that kind of drifting-at-sea life, even risking to rob other pirates' supplies, conflict inevitably leads to sacrifice; as a pirate, who wants to just scrape by?

「Any other opinions, family? 」 Old Ke Luo said in a low voice.

After a long while, a hand rose, and everyone's gaze fell on the youth leaning against the mast.

「Nuo'er, what else do you think? 」 Ke Luo looked at him helplessly; if he had just started following as a pirate, the Fifth Family Head would also have let him sit.

But lately I always feel that guy is weird; when there's nothing to do, he stares blankly at the sea, and even talks to himself.

「If we don't get those supplies, we'll starve to death. 」 Mo Yan said directly; everyone knows but is unwilling to mention it, and he bluntly stated it.

「If we go farther into the Silent Sea, even if we avoid that area, we'll starve before encountering any other pirates. 」

The Silent Sea is the most mysterious and dangerous maritime zone; most ships that enter it disappear.

「What solution?! 」

Their anger, of course they know it, but they only want to be told by someone younger than themselves.

「Please. 」 Mo Yan said.

His answer drew snickers from the crowd; if it were us, we'd also want to beg, but the opponent is a regular army that can strike directly—what basis is there to beg?

Moreover, that ambush also didn't spare the Chang Clan's fleet.

「On what basis should the family accept a plea? 」 Ke Luo did not laugh.

「There are many ways to surrender, confess, and preserve oneself. 」 Mo Yan said.

「You mean give up resistance?! 」

Mo Yan raised his head and scanned: 「Do you still think there's another way? 」

【Streamer, directly…】

【Such said its function.】

【Sitting back for the show (eating melon. jpg)】

【Encouraging defection to the S Player?】

【How does it feel to lick…】

【…………】

…………

「If you agree, let's talk. 」 Seeing everyone silent, Mo Yan continued.

Ke Luo's face was extremely ugly; if fighting and killing affected morale, he hated to the point of wanting to toss his face into the sea to feed the fish.

As the Fifth Family Head, he actually said such ambitious words.

「Damn it, either way we die, so let's just go all out! 」 He said angrily.

「Right, without supplies we'll also starve; might as well fight that bunch of regular troops! 」

……………

Next, Ke Luo didn't stop it, seeming to also tacitly accept the decision.

Mo Yan furrowed his brows, understanding that an obvious path lay ahead, yet they still rushed to their deaths.

Originally planning to bring all the pirates to join Lu Ming, which would also help, but now it seems that idea was just a solitary thought.

「Nuo'er, we'll talk about that later! 」 Ke Luo said calmly: 「We'll surrender; do you want to see how the regular troops would treat us? 」

Mo Yan fell silent, quietly looking at Ke Luo; looking, only the Chang Clan's family head Lu Ming, then everything could be discussed.

If, even if it's that player, we must seize the chance to kill them!

「Of course, your method is also completely wrong. 」 Ke Luo continued: 「Let the Chang Clan negotiate, willing to return the supplies, and furthermore, tell them the mastermind behind all this; I believe they'd also be interested. 」

「Alright. 」 Mo Yan didn't say more; he could only see Lu Ming, who would generally have an opinion.

………………………………

Copy Fifth.

The sea wind was calm and still; after last night's fish incident, Lu Ming's room had been tidied for a long stretch; during that time, Chang Qinglan kept watch by his side; approaching noon, Lu Ming ate something before heading to the deck to move about.

「S Player... 」 Yan Cheng said guiltily beside him: 「Last night I actually didn't know what happened; suddenly I felt like I'd lost my soul…」

Last night, Yan Cheng was the first to hear the singing; with no guard, he was immediately drawn in.

In a haze, he saw the classmate he secretly liked actually appear before him.

Then, hearing the gunshot, some mysterious liquid smeared his face; after regaining consciousness, he had already been lifted to the infirmary.

Like Lu Ming, obviously affected by the influence, his body also became weak, and he coughed faintly while speaking.

「Hmm. 」 Lu Ming didn't blame him; dwelling on past events is meaningless.

「The S Player is also impressive; their clone skill also looks flashy…」 Yan Cheng said with a wry smile.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming turned his head and asked: 「Do you only care about the S title, thinking that the S Player's skills must be the strongest? 」

Lu Ming pointed toward the cabin behind him: 「Look over there, what can you see? 」

Yan Cheng turned his head in confusion, but saw only a white iron plate mortar.

I didn't see anything...

Look again, use the skill to look.

Yan Cheng used the skill, gradually, his field of vision showed a slightly moving red silhouette, the skill is similar to a thermal imager.

Just as Yan Cheng was still dazed, Lu Ming placed something in his hand.

Yan Cheng lowered his head, his pupils slightly contracted.

A gun!

Research, the Earth game balance aspect is done very well, all the skills are limitless. Lu Ming said: "Know a same C-level rating."

Yan Cheng lifted his head, sunlight shone on Lu Ming's side face.

Currently ranked fifth on the player leaderboard.

Mo Yan suddenly felt his nose sore, he remembered this feeling from before learning.

He beat up the bullying classmate, but the mother who knew the truth apologized, just because the other's parents still had business cooperation.

Over the years, he has always strived to be a good child in his parents' eyes, but in return he has always been met with indifference.

His parents only care about how much money they've lost, they simply don't care.

After the dungeon ends, remember to return the gun. Lu Ming walked toward the cabin.
