Chapter 358: Chapter 328: I Just Spoke Too Loudly

"Impressive. I was a bit harsh earlier, I hope you won’t hold it against me."

After the pirates had left, Player No. 3 took the initiative to speak.

In just a few sentences, not only had they avoided drawing attention to their messing with the ropes, they were even on the verge of infiltrating the pirates; truly, their speechcraft was unparalleled.

"No worries, being cautious in such a deadly game is totally normal."

Liu Zheng said generously.

If he were forced to join this game, he would try his hardest to sabotage it without playing too, besides, what Player No. 3 had said wasn’t that offensive.

Oh, he was forced to join too, so no problem then.

"So what do we do now?"

Player No. 4 asked.

"Since we have this chance, let’s wait a bit longer,"

Player No. 3 said.

Normally, the next part of the game would definitely involve them making a violent escape.

But since they had a chance to join the pirates, why not try it? Perhaps this was the way to achieve a perfect ending.

Although this module was difficult, the rewards were equally substantial.

They were different from Liu Zheng; they had contracts with the board game café.

They couldn’t take items produced in the board game, but they could convert those items directly into money.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Player No. 4 and Player No. 1 nodded.

After all, the worst outcome would be to start fighting, and maybe they could secure some weapons first.

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

Liu Zheng asked the child who had been thrown in.

"Obviously, I was captured, idiot."

The child rolled his eyes at him.

A typical voice-change period duck voice, indistinguishable as male or female.

"Hey, you’ve got quite the temper. We’re all prisoners here, what are you being so haughty about?"

Liu Zheng taunted back.

"Hmph, I’m not like you guys. You are going to be sold as slaves, while my family will ransom me."

The child said proudly.

"Oh, a rich family’s young master, huh? May I ask for your esteemed name?"

He asked with a chuckle.

"Why should I tell you?"

The child pursed his lips.

"You tell me, and I’ll tell you another story,"

Liu Zheng tempted him.

"Who, who wants to hear your story."

The child stubbornly said.

"Is that so? I wonder who it was just now whose ears perked up so high they almost fell off."

He teased.

"Idiot, how could ears possibly fall off?"

"Who says they can’t? In a while, those pirates will cut off your ears."

Liu Zheng said.

"Haha, you really are an idiot. They need me for ransom, why would they cut off my ears?"

The child laughed loudly.

"It wouldn’t have been possible before, but it’s different with me here. I’ll tell them that if they just talk without proof, how would your family believe that you are in their hands? So, they should cut off one of your ears not only to prove you’re with them, but also to show their resolve if the ransom isn’t paid."

"Guess whether these pirates will agree? Hehehe~"

He laughed menacingly.

"You, you’re so sinister. I haven’t done anything to you, why would you harm me like this?"

The child asked, both angry and scared.

"I am from Luosi Country, where people care a great deal about face. I asked for your name and you wouldn’t tell me, that’s disrespecting me. If you disrespect me, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Liu Zhengyi said sternly.

"You didn’t tell me your name either."

The child said.

"I asked you first. Hurry, if you don’t tell me, I’ll shout loudly."

"What are you going to shout about?"

The child wondered.

"Of course, to call the pirates down and tell them this great idea. Maybe if they are happy enough, they’ll agree to let us on board?"

He said expectantly.

"Speaking of which, your ears do look very nice, big and plump. Why don’t I tell them to cut both off, send one to your family, and give one to me as a drink snack?"

Liu Zheng licked his lips, his eyes gleaming green.

"No, please! Wah!"

The child started crying out of fear.

"Keep crying and you’ll summon the pirates yourself,"

he said leisurely.

"Hm~"

The child clamped his mouth shut, tears streaming down.

"Quick, what’s your name?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"I’m Mike Arthur."

The child said, sobbing.

"Well now, isn’t that something? A Five-star Admiral’s family, no wonder you’re wealthy."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Uncle, please don’t let them cut off my ears, I can have my family ransom you out too."

Mike said ingratiatingly.

"Hehe, you think I’d believe that?"

Liu Zheng remained unmoved.

"It’s true, I can swear on the Golden Lady."

Mike said urgently.

"The Golden Lady is the main faith of the Free Federation, a country known for its wealth and thriving commerce and trade. There are lots of rich people there."

Player No. 4 chimed in helpfully.

"I see, so what does your family trade in?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Our business is very diverse; we deal with furs, alcohol, minerals, meat, and many other things,"

Mike said proudly.

"Does your family also deal in the slave trade?"

"I think so. Why do you ask?"

Mike pondered and said.

"Oh, I’m just worried about being ransomed only to be sold again as a slave by your family. What do you think, Master Mike?"

He said, his smile only half sincere.

"No!"

Mike quickly replied.

"Don’t tell it to me, say it to the Golden Lady."

"No... "

Mike opened his mouth, but ultimately he said nothing.
