Chapter 363: Chapter 330 Liu Zheng: It’s Nothing But an Act With Him_2

Liu Zheng sat cross-legged on the deck, grabbed his cup, and slammed it on the ground before he began to talk about the book.

This time, he was telling the story of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin," which was his favorite.

Therefore, not only did he narrate the entire plot, but he even switched between the characters seamlessly, imitating their gestures and expressions perfectly.

The pirates’ expressions continuously changed with the story—laughing one moment, tense the next, then scared.

Even the Flamingo couldn’t help but show a hint of color change when hearing Liu Zheng describe the frightening aspects of the Flying Dutchman and its captain, the Sea Demon Captain David Jones.

"In the end, Jack Sparrow took up his sword, faced the enormous sea monster Kraken that was coming right at him, and disappeared into the sea along with his beloved ship, the Black Pearl," Liu Zheng said.

He picked up his cup and tapped the deck again.

"Then what?"

"Did Jack Sparrow die?"

"Elizabeth Swann is such a bitch, betraying Jack like that!"

The pirates exclaimed one after another.

"Shut up! Is this story something you made up, or did it really happen?"

The Flamingo quelled their noise and then asked.

"I wouldn’t know that; I heard it from someone else,"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"The Kraken..."

The Flamingo fell into thought.

Indeed, he had heard other pirates speak of legends of giant monsters in the sea, especially in these waters.

Now, hearing the story from Liu Zheng about the sea monster made him feel an ominous premonition.

"Saul, how much longer before we leave these waters?"

He looked at his first mate.

"At this pace, about two more days,"

First Mate Saul replied.

"Two days, why so slow?"

The Flamingo frowned.

"Because there’s no wind. Captain, something isn’t quite right about this area of the sea."

First Mate Saul said.

Though he didn’t have magic like the Flamingo, his extensive sailing experience had allowed him to notice something was off.

"I know."

Reminded by him, the Flamingo also felt the magic within him stirring.

"Bring me a sheep, I need to perform a divination ritual."

He commanded.

"Yes. What about this kid?"

First Mate Saul asked, pointing at Liu Zheng.

"Take him back for now. If we get through this area safely, it means this guy has the sea’s favor—let them aboard."

The Flamingo said.

"Understood. Jack Ma, take this kid down."

First Mate Saul, grasping the subtext, called out to the pirate Jack Ma.

"Why is it always me? Stand still and don’t move."

Grumbling, Jack Ma took some ropes and tied up Liu Zheng, though not as tightly as before.

"You better remember the rest of the story during these next two days. If you don’t tell it well, I’ll slaughter you even if we make it past these waters," the Flamingo said coldly.

"Yes, Captain," Liu Zheng replied with a smile.

"Captain, Captain, you sure say it smoothly."

Back in the lower deck, Jack Ma commented with a hint of acidity.

"Boss Ma, everything I said was just for show. My true loyalty lies with you," Liu Zheng protested.

"Really?"

Jack Ma looked skeptical.

"Of course. Look at him, he doesn’t look manly or womanly, and all dressed in pink, I feel awkward just looking at him. Where’s the pirate’s presence in that? But when you look at Boss Ma, those rugged facial features, that unrestrained style of dress—that’s what a real great pirate looks like," Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"That’s true. My handsomeness does stand out among the pirates. When I was young, going to the brothels, those prostitutes always gave me an eighty percent discount," Jack Ma boasted.

"You’re incredible, Boss Ma," he said with admiration.

"Average, average. Kid, you aren’t still a virgin, are you?"

Jack Ma teased, eyeing his expression.

"You saw right through me, Boss," Liu Zheng admitted, impressed.

"Of course, my Jack Ma’s vision is top-notch; I can tell the gender of creatures a sea mile away," Jack Ma boasted proudly.

"I’m in awe," Liu Zheng said.

"Relax, as long as you follow me, women will be plenty. Not just the prostitutes from the pirate port, but even if you want those rich families’ daughters, it’s not impossible," Jack Ma bragged.

"Really?"

"Of course, just to mention..."

Jack Ma was about to blurt out but abruptly stopped.

"What happened, Boss Ma?"

"There’s nothing much to it; just know that you can’t go wrong following me."

Jack Ma said perfunctorily.

"Of course. By the way, Boss Ma, is the captain a man or a woman?"

he asked.

"Should be a man, right?"

Jack Ma wasn’t very certain as he spoke.

"Should be?"

"Well, he has peed with us before, and that thing was pretty big. But other than that, he’s never shown his body, and he avoids us when he showers, so it’s hard to say,"

Jack Ma said.

This is a world with gods and magic, where it’s possible for a woman to grow something temporarily.

"But whether he’s male or female doesn’t matter. That person is quite sinister, more skilled in magic than the wizards in the pirate port, so you’d better not mess with him,"

Jack Ma warned.

He certainly was ambitious, but not against Flamingo because he knew he definitely couldn’t win.

His greatest ambition was just to become the first mate, then save up enough money to buy his own pirate ship and strike out on his own.

"No matter how powerful he is, I only look up to you, Boss Ma. If you ask me to chop off his head, I definitely won’t stab him in the back."

Liu Zheng said ingratiatingly.

"Really?"

"Really. Of course, I would definitely tell him it was Boss Ma who told me to chop it."

He said with a sly grin.

"I knew you were up to no good. Just stay put. Since the captain said so, you guys should be safe until we leave these waters,"

Jack Ma said, dragging Liu Zheng back to his original spot.

Even if anything unexpected came up, they would only deal with them after getting out of this area.

"Alright then, take care,"

Liu Zheng said warmly, as if seeing off a guest.

"What’s with that guy?"

After Jack Ma had left, he turned to Mike Arthur and asked.

"Don’t know, he fell asleep soon after you guys left. Not sure if he’s just exhausted or if the pirates did something,"

Player Number 3 said.

"Could be faking it. Shall I try biting off his ear and see?"

Liu Zheng said, eyeing Mike’s ear eagerly.

"That would wake him up even if he were faking sleep, right?"

Player Number 3 retorted.

"Not necessarily, what if he’s tough enough to endure it without waking up?"

He smirked evilly.

Mike remained with his eyes tightly closed, as if he heard nothing.

"Forget about him. The pirates said it will take two days to leave these waters. If nothing happens in these two days, they’ll let us join them,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Then something is definitely going to happen in these two days,"

Player Number 4 remarked.

"That’s what I was thinking,"

he nodded.

In such a high-difficulty module, they couldn’t possibly just sit in a cell for two days.

"Moreover, the pirate first mate also said that there is something odd about this sea area. The pirate captain even slaughtered a sheep for divination, but unfortunately, I didn’t see the result,"

Liu Zheng added.

"Enough, you’ve already gathered a lot of information,"

Player Number 3 said appreciatively.

They thought they had gained a burden, but turned out to have found a strong supporter.

"That being said, we can’t let our guard down. Although the pirates won’t deal with us now, new enemies might very well appear,"

Player Number 1 reminded.

"Right. Number 4, you’re a scholar, right? Do you have any information about this sea area?"

Player Number 3 asked.

"I don’t even know what sea this is, let alone have any information,"

Player Number 4 said exasperatedly.

He was just a scholar, not a prophet.

"Try making a determination check then,"

Player Number 1 encouraged.

"You sure? My previous checks have hardly ever succeeded; if I roll a critical failure, don’t blame me,"

Player Number 4 warned.

"It shouldn’t come to that. Besides, don’t you still have potential points? Just use them and re-roll if necessary,"

Player Number 1 said.

"Alright. Game Master, I would like to make a Scholar Skill check,"

Player Number 4 requested.

"What would you like to know?"

The voice of the Sea Nymph rang out.

"I want as detailed information as possible about this sea area,"

Player Number 4 replied.

"You don’t have any sailing-related skills, and your character background is also unrelated to navigation, so you need to make a difficult check,"

The Sea Nymph stated.
