The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 365 - 331

Chapter 365: 331

Player 4 said.

Staying in the cabin isn’t very realistic, even if they survived, this ship is probably going to be torn apart, they can’t possibly swim to the port holding onto planks.

"A sea monster with tentacles thicker than the ship’s ribs—it could flip a small boat with just the ripple of its movements, right? And even if we could run, how do we convince the pirates to let us join them right now?"

After Player 3 finished speaking, all eyes turned to Liu Zheng.

"Hey, sending me with a charm point of 1 to do this kind of task, aren’t you guys being a bit too much?"

He said speechlessly.

"Although your character’s charm is 1 point, your real-life charm is maxed out. Besides, compared to skill-based charm, role-playing games encourage real-life charm even more."

Player 3 said.

"Exactly, exactly, we believe in you, you can do it."

Player 4 also said.

"Heh."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Relax, we won’t let you suffer. Give us a card number, and after we clear the game we’ll deposit money into it, punching zeroes with our eyes closed—how much we deposit is a matter of fate."

Player 3 said temptingly.

"As if you three contract slaves would actually send money, I’d be afraid the Security Department would accuse me of money laundering. Besides, I don’t even have a bank card."

He curled his lip.

"As long as we can clear the game, everything is negotiable."

Player 1 said earnestly.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Sigh, being a charming man is such a hassle."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"Yeah, yeah."

The other three players echoed, struggling to suppress their urge to vomit.

"Tch, hypocrites."

He showed a look of disgust.

"Your grandpa!"

The three players cursed in their minds.

If it weren’t for the fact that failing to clear the game would end them, they would have killed him by now.

"I’m going to rest for a while, call me when the pirates come."

Liu Zheng said.

Since he arrived, he hadn’t rested, and had been through several tough battles.

Although his body could withstand it, he was indeed mentally fatigued. It was a good opportunity to rest.

"Okay."

Player 3 said.

Liu Zheng closed his eyes, and in front of him was an endless expanse of waves.

Under the blood-red moonlight, the rocking chair creaked, and an old man dressed in scholar’s robes lay on the rocking chair, waving a long staff up and down.

He walked over to the rocking chair and looked at the old man’s face.

The old man’s wrinkled face had a peaceful smile that made one feel as if the time was calm and tranquil.

Liu Zheng reached out as if he wanted to touch the old man’s face.

Then, he abruptly yanked off the old man’s eye mask.

"Get up, do you think you deserve to sleep?"

Liu Zheng grabbed the old man by the collar, threw him into the water, then lied down on the rocking chair and put on the eye mask.

The salty sea breeze brushed against his body, and the sobbing of seashells echoed in his ears, like tiny fish swimming through his blood, and the gentle currents soothed his nerves.

"So comfortable."

He squirmed on the rocking chair like a maggot, then fell into a deep slumber.

Burning Dickens, multi-limbed Yamiro, foolish Muro Spider...

One after another, terrifying figures appeared beside Liu Zheng, silently watching over him.

They seemed like nightmares probing into his soul, yet also like servants guarding his spirit.

"Wake up! Wake up quick!"

A series of urgent shouts disturbed the water, and the light of the blood moon twisted.

All the figures raised their limbs towards the blood moon, then gradually dispersed, and everything around him, with him at the center, became illusory.

When the rocking chair also stopped rocking, Liu Zheng opened his eyes.

"Who is it, not letting a person sleep peacefully."

He muttered discontentedly.

"Idiot, if you don’t wake up, you’re going to sleep at the bottom of the sea."

Mike glared at him.

"Huh?"

Feeling the violent shaking of the ship, Liu Zheng fully awoke.

"What’s happening?"

He asked.

"How would I know, might have hit a storm. Rather than that, you better wake up your companions first."

Mike said.

Liu Zheng turned to look at the other players and saw they were all sound asleep, snoring like thunder.

"Hey, wake up."

He shouted loudly.

However, it was of no use.

"No use shouting like that, I already tried, only you woke up."

Mike said.

"Then how come you’re not asleep?"

Liu Zheng found the blind spot.

"Heirs of our family have to undergo training from a young age; we have high resistance to these sorts of abnormal states."

Mike replied.

"That awesome."

He tried to break free from the ropes and found that they had loosened a bit, but not to the extent that he could escape.

However, moving his body a little was still possible.

"Host, can I physically wake them up?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You can, but since you don’t have any medical skills, you can only use brute force or combat, and you need to pass a difficult check. If the check fails, you will cause damage to the other party."

The sea maiden said.

"Great, so if the check is a big failure, is it possible that I’ll outright kill my teammate?"

"That’s a possibility. One thing I need to remind you is that they are in an abnormal state and cannot help you use potential points."

The sea maiden said.

"By the way, why could I be woken up?"

He asked again.

"Because the character’s intelligence is low enough."

"...Fine."

This was truly the dumb leading the talented.

"But if I wake them up this way, should it fit the reckless personality, right?"

"You can give it a try."

The sea maiden didn’t give a direct answer, but Liu Zheng heard encouragement in her voice.

"Which is higher, my brute force or combat skill?"

He asked.

"Your combat skill is higher."

"Then I request a combat check to wake up player number 4."

Liu Zheng said.

Player number 4 had medical skills, waking him up would allow him to help revive players 1 and 3.

"Player number 2, you need a combat skill score of 70 for this time, rolling a dice number greater than or equal to 70 passes the check, less than 70 is a failure."

The sea maiden’s voice rose.

"Player number 2, your skill points allocation is kind of outrageous."

Liu Zheng commented.

A difficult check for player number 4 required 80, and his combat only needed 70, so his combat skill level as a member of the Scum Sect was even higher than the scholar’s scholarly level.

Which Evil God does he believe in, Yujiro Hanma?

Two ten-sided dice appeared in front of him, waiting for him to throw.

"Oh mighty God of Dice, I’m willing to trade the sea maiden’s lifetime of happiness for a great success."

Liu Zheng prayed to the dice.

"Player number 2, if you want me to roll the dice in secret just say so."

The sea maiden said coldly.

Rolling the dice could be done openly or in secret, with secret rolls only known to the player rolling and the host.

Usually, only the module adversaries and host need to roll in secret, and when the host rolls in secret, it’s basically never good news.

"Cough cough, then I’ll change it. Oh mighty God of Dice, I’m willing to trade Niu Ma’s lifetime of sexual bliss for a great success."

Liu Zheng promptly backed down.

"Being your friend is really bad luck."

Disgust was evident in the sea maiden’s voice.

The dice rolled smoothly and then stopped.

and 9.

"Damn it, I sacrificed such a huge offering and still got a failure, that’s so unprofessional!"

Liu Zheng was shocked.

And it was close to a big failure.

Oh, it’s fine, Niu Ma never had any sexual bliss to begin with.

"Player number 2’s check has failed."

As the Nightingale’s voice sounded, his body involuntarily moved, shifting towards player number 4.

Then, Liu Zheng raised his head and slammed a headbutt fiercely down.

"Thud!"

A dull sound, and player number 4 was smashed back, falling heavily on the floor.

"Thud!"

Another dull sound, and he had big bumps on both his forehead and the back of his head.

"Player number 4 has taken a heavy blow to the head and needs to make a damage check."

The Nightingale said mercilessly.

A six-sided dice appeared above player number 4’s head.

"Can I ask how many health points he has?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Player number 4 currently has 5 life points."

The Nightingale replied.

Great, if it rolls more than 5, wouldn’t that be an outright death?

"Aren’t those life points too low?"

He challenged.

In similar modules he had played before, characters typically had at least a dozen or twenty life points.

"Otherwise, why would it be called a high-difficulty module?"

The Nightingale retorted.

The dice rolled smoothly, like the Grim Reaper twirling his finger.

Finally, it stopped on a number.
