Chapter 356: Chapter 327: The Sheep Was Gone As Soon As the Pants Were Removed

"That’s right,"

Player 3 replied.

"I’m down to 1 sanity point, what hammer payment are you talking about? Aren’t you afraid that if I learn a spell, I’ll cast it on you first?"

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

"This module has a special mechanism where players can pay the cost on behalf of their characters,"

the mermaid explained.

"You mean pay with my own sanity points?"

"That’s right,"

the mermaid repeated.

"Great, so Player 2 could have died that way, huh?"

He said with a hollow look in his eyes.

"It’s inconvenient to reveal players’ real-life information,"

the mermaid intoned.

Then why did you just reveal my information?

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to ask more.

After all, the mermaid wouldn’t screw him over at a time like this.

If she wanted to screw anyone over, she would wait until they got to the Garbage Processing Plant.

"The time is almost up, does anyone have any objections to their Character Card?"

the mermaid asked.

"No,"

"No,"

"No,"

the other three players said in turn.

"No,"

Liu Zheng didn’t even know what the original Character Card was like, so naturally, he had no objections.

"Okay. Next, we enter the plot introduction. Please listen carefully, especially the new players,"

the mermaid reminded them.

"All four of you are adventurers from different places, brought together by a mission you accepted at the adventure guild."

"Your current mission is to go to Matrella Port in the Holy Empire, find Sister Audrey, and activate the next step of the mission,"

the mermaid continued.

"However, on your way to Matrella Port, you encountered a series of events and exhausted all means to resolve them."

"In the end, the ship you were on was attacked and sunk by the notorious pirate Flamingo. You four were captured and are now being held, ready to be sold to slavers,"

the mermaid concluded.

"The plot introduction has ended, and the game officially begins,"

As the mermaid finished speaking, Liu Zheng’s vision suddenly became as bright as if a flash bomb had been thrown in front of him.

Instinctively, he closed his eyes, but his nose was assaulted by an overwhelming stench.

The stench was a mix of fish, foot odor, body odor, along with the distinctive salty smell of seawater.

Liu Zheng opened his eyes to find himself in a cramped cabin.

The cabin was dimly lit, with only a single lantern hanging on the wall providing a faint light.

Looking down, he saw that his hands and feet were tightly bound with thick hemp ropes.

Fortunately, this module had a Western fantasy setting; if it were a Japanese magical background, the binding would be even more embarrassing and harder to escape.

"What do we do now? Should we try to escape right away, or wait a little longer?"

a voice asked.

Liu Zheng remembered that this should be Player 3’s voice.

He strained to turn his head and saw that the speaker was a thin man.

Player 3 gave him a nod, his attitude now much friendlier than before.

"Let’s at least untie the ropes. Otherwise, we won’t be able to respond in time if something unexpected happens,"

another voice suggested.

Liu Zheng turned to see a woman with glasses speaking.

"I’m Player 4,"

the woman introduced herself.

"OK,"

he nodded.

"I agree with Player 4’s opinion,"

the last voice, coming from a muscular man with numerous scars on his bare torso, spoke up.

Needless to say, he had to be Player 1.

"Then, I’ll untie you guys now,"

Player 3 announced.

As he spoke, he twisted his body.

His joints made cracking sounds, and his physique also changed shape.

The ropes that had been tightly bound were forced to give way, freeing one of his hands.

Then, as if by magic, he quickly waved his hand and a small knife appeared in his grip.

The small knife was only as big as a little finger, barely lethal even if thrust into a vital spot, but as a tool, it could still be of great use.

"Wait a second,"

Liu Zheng called out before he could begin.

"What’s up?"

Player 3 inquired.

"I have an idea. Can you keep the ropes mostly in their original state but weaken them so that we can break free instantly?"

he suggested.

"Hmm, I can try,"

True to the mark of an expert player, Player 3 immediately understood his intention.

He studied the ropes on Liu Zheng’s body for a while and then made several key cuts with the small knife.

This way, the ropes would still look like they were binding, but they could be easily broken free.

After fixing Liu Zheng up, he did the same for Players 1 and 4, and finally freed himself.

This entire process left Player 3 gasping for breath, clearly exhausted.

Given the average physical capability of Metropolis residents, such activity shouldn’t have been too taxing.

It seemed that even though there wasn’t a physical strength attribute on the Character Cards, the player’s physical stamina was still linked to the character.

Since they had decided to wait and see, the group started introducing themselves.

Of course, it was mainly for Liu Zheng’s benefit.

"My profession is Thief, I mainly increase agility and secondarily strength, and I’m responsible for support and secondary output in the team,"

Player 3 said.

"I’m a Pharmacist, I mainly increase intelligence and secondarily charm, and I’m responsible for healing and negotiation in the team,"

Player 4 followed.

"I’m a warrior, I mainly increase strength and secondarily agility, and I’m responsible for being the tank and outputting damage in the team,"

Player 1 stated.

"I guess I don’t need to introduce myself,"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"No need, we know your Character Card better than you do,"
