Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The pirate asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true. If you weren't someone who yearns for the sea, would you know such exciting pirate stories? Besides, I've actually done a lot of preparation for sailing. Of course, it's all theoretical."

He shared some of the knowledge he had gained from movies and novels.

"Hmm, that sounds pretty promising."

The pirate nodded repeatedly, as there were some points he himself didn't know.

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. Once I become a pirate, I'll give you 30% of all the profits."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"Only 30%?"

How many do you want?

"At least 50%, and they'll have to help me with the work too."

"That's what the pirate said."

Of course, being a pirate involves more than just robbing; the daily work on the ship is also quite demanding.

"No problem, it's my honor to work for a future great pirate."

He agreed immediately.

"You've got a sweet tongue, kid. Actually, you don't need to be a pirate. I'll talk to the captain and have him sell you to those noble ladies as a Starfury. You'll definitely do well that way."

The pirate smiled and said.

"I'd rather have those noble ladies as my Starfury."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"Hey hey hey."

The pirate also grinned lewdly.

"Alright, just stay put and don't even think about running away. Being sold to slave traders is one way to survive, but if you try to escape and get caught, you're dead."

The pirates warned them.

"Definitely, definitely. What do you think about me becoming a pirate?"

“I’ll go up and say something, but you’d better not get your hopes up too high. Our captain has very strict standards for hiring crew members, and he probably won’t consider someone like you who has no seafaring experience.”

The pirate shook his head.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to do your best, Captain."

Liu Zheng said humbly.

"I've already said, I'm not a captain."

"No matter which ship I'm on, you'll always be my captain."

He said seriously.

"You little rascal, your words are sweeter than honey. It's a pity you're so ugly."

The pirate looked at his face and said regretfully.

Compared to you, who can claim to be handsome?

"That's true, hahaha. But what will happen to your three friends if you become a pirate?"

The pirate pointed his scimitar at the other three players.

"Them? Actually, I'm not familiar with them."

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

Chapter 330 I was speaking too loudly just now.

"Impressive. I was a bit harsh with my words earlier, I hope you won't take offense."

After the pirates left, player number 3 spoke up.

In just a few words, they not only prevented their tampering with the rope from being discovered, but they were even on the verge of infiltrating the pirates' ranks. Their rhetoric was absolutely brilliant.

"It's okay. It's normal to be cautious when playing such a dangerous game."

Liu Zheng said magnanimously.

If he were forced to join this game, he would try his best to sabotage it so that no one could play. Besides, what Player 3 said wasn't that bad.

Oh, so he was forced to join. Never mind then.

"Now what?"

"Player #4 asked."

"Since we have this opportunity, let's wait a little longer."

"That's what Player #3 said."

In the normal course of the game, the next step would definitely be for them to seize the opportunity and fight their way out.

But since there's a possibility of joining the pirates, why not give it a try? Maybe that's the way to achieve the perfect ending.

Although this module is very difficult, the rewards are equally generous.

Unlike Liu Zheng, they had signed a contract with the board game arcade.

Although you can't obtain the items produced in the board game, you can directly convert those items into money.

"agree."

Player 4 and Player 1 nodded.

Anyway, the worst outcome is just a fight, and maybe we can get some weapons first.

"Hey, kid, how did you get in here?"

Liu Zheng asked the child who had been thrown in.

"Of course he was arrested, you idiot."

The child rolled his eyes at him.

A typical male voice during the vocal transition period, so high that it's impossible to tell if it's male or female.

"Hey, you've got quite the temper. We're both prisoners, what's with the attitude?"

Liu Zheng retorted sharply.

"Hmph, I'm not like you. You're going to be sold into slavery, but I'm going to be redeemed by my family."

The child said proudly.

"Oh, so you're a young master from a wealthy family. May I ask your honorable name, young master?"

He said with a grin.

"Why should I tell you?"

The child pouted.

"Tell me, and I'll tell you another story."

Liu Zheng tempted him.

"Who, who cares to hear your story?"

The child stubbornly insisted.

"Really? I wonder who had their ears sticking out so high just now, almost falling off."

He teased.

"Idiot, how could an ear fall off?"

"Who says it won't? Those pirates will cut your ears off in a minute."

Liu Zheng said.

"Haha, you're such an idiot. They're going to use me to pay the ransom, why would they cut off my ear?"

The child burst into laughter.

“It was impossible before, but with me around, it might be different. I’ll tell them that if they just talk the talk, how can your family believe that you’re in their hands? So cutting off one of your ears will not only prove that you’re in their hands, but also show their determination to kill you if they don’t pay.”

"Do you think these pirates will agree? Hehehe~"

He let out a villainous laugh.

"You, you're so insidious. I've never done anything to you, why did you do this to me?"

The child asked, both angry and frightened.

“I’m from Russia, and people there value face the most. If I ask for your name and you don’t tell me, that’s disrespecting me. If you don’t give me face, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Liu Zhengyi said sternly.

"You didn't even tell me your name."

"That's what the child said."

"I asked you first. Hurry up, or I'll yell at you."

Why are you shouting?

The child asked in confusion.

"Of course we should call the pirates down and tell them this great idea. Maybe they'll be so happy that they'll agree to let us on board?"

He looked expectant.

"Speaking of which, your ears are quite nice, big and fat. How about I tell them to cut them both off, send one to your family, and give the other to me as a snack with my drinks?"

Liu Zheng licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a green light.

"No! Wow!"

The child was so frightened that he started to cry.

"If you keep crying, you'll attract pirates yourself."

He said it slowly and deliberately.

"Woo~"

The child shut his mouth, tears streaming down his face.

"Tell me quickly, what's your name?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"My name is MacArthur."

The child said, sobbing.

"Good heavens, he's actually a five-star general. No wonder his family is rich."
