SFS Chapter 219 Taking Action
Chapter 219 Taking Action
Yan Xun briefly explained the current situation on the Terror Ship.
"...All the crew members are dead?" The bearded man was still somewhat incredulous, but the captain's head, which kept pacing back and forth, told him that he wasn't dreaming; there really was something wrong with the ship.
Having completed several instances himself, he wiped his face and asked Yan Xun, "Who else knows? What about the other two?"
"We didn't have time to notify them," Gao Wen said.
"Call them over here and see what the crew is doing."
The bearded man gestured that he had received the message. He knew now was not the time to hesitate. Seeing that Yan Xun and the other two were still in the room, he thought for a few seconds and asked, "Have you received any other missions?"
Gao Wen was about to say, "Why are you pushing your luck?" when he saw Yan Xun nod.
"Yes."
"We've received a Blue Gold quest."
Gao Wen: ...? Not brothers? You just told them like that?
The bearded man was overjoyed. "A blue-gold mission?" He looked towards the captain's cabin. "Where?"
Yan Xun pointed to the pile of letters on the table, "As long as you say the keyword 'Blue Gold,' you can get this mission."
His straightforwardness made the bearded man somewhat uncertain... He didn't quite believe that anyone would be so kind. He exchanged a glance with his follower behind him and nudged him, "You go."
The follower was extremely unwilling, but under the pressure of the bearded man, he had no choice but to reluctantly walk over.
He looked down at the incomprehensible worm-like script on the letter, and then, following Yan Xun's instructions, uttered the key words for Blue Gold.
Sure enough, the next second he received a hidden quest from Blue Gold.
Overjoyed, he immediately reported to the bearded man, who, disregarding his dignity, rushed forward, pushed aside his henchmen, and followed suit, also receiving the Blue Gold Mission.
Upon receiving the hidden mission, the bearded man was immediately overjoyed. He happily informed Yan Xun and prepared to go and inform Wen Yuanzheng and Qin Ke.
After the bearded man left, Gawain began, "You just told them that easily?"
“I see the bearded man has props in his hand.”
“Obtaining blue gold isn’t that simple.” Yan Xun recalled what the old man had told him before: “After you get close to the ice wall, follow the captain and you’ll find blue gold.”
"Someone told me that Blue Gold is the blood flowing from that thing inside the Ice Wall."
"He told me that as long as we complete the Blue Gold quest, we can leave the instance immediately without worrying about that thing waking up."
In fact, judging from the crew's behavior, obtaining the blue gold was not simply a matter of entering the cracks in the ice wall.
There needs to be at least a prelude of human sacrifice before this, otherwise these dead crew members could simply drive the Terror directly to the Ice Wall and obtain the blue gold.
Gao Wen understood Yan Xun's meaning.
In such an uncertain situation, it is naturally better for as many players as possible to receive the Blue Gold quest.
This gives them the opportunity to try and fail.
……
The bearded man and his henchman found Wen Yuanzheng and Qin Ke respectively and explained the current situation on the ship to them.
Qin Ke sat there, somewhat slow to react, "You mean, the crew members on this ship have all turned into monsters?"
The henchman thought to himself, "This guy is so slow and doesn't seem very smart." He nodded perfunctorily, "Go to the captain's cabin, we'll discuss a plan."
Qin Ke nodded. "Okay."
Next, Wen Yuanzheng's side, when he heard the bearded man say that there were monsters on the ship, his first reaction was how could that be, and then he began to question the old man.
"How could the ship be full of monsters?!"
"How should I know?" the old man said coldly. "Didn't you not believe me?"
Wen Yuan was speechless; he hadn't expected the old man to point out his recent change in attitude.
"Since you don't believe me, there's no need to ask anymore." The old man said this and then fell silent, no matter what Wen Yuanzheng said, there was no response.
Wen Yuanzheng was now genuinely regretting his actions.
Although he suspected the old man, he had been receiving help from him since he entered the game. Now that the old man was ignoring him completely and seemed to be trying to break up the partnership, he became even more flustered.
Seeing the bearded man urging him to hurry up and go to the captain's cabin to discuss the matter, he nodded haphazardly, while secretly thinking about how to get the old man to help him again.
The four of them headed towards the captain's cabin together, and along the way they ran into Will.
"Where are you going?" Will asked.
Wen Yuanzheng immediately became a little nervous.
"Let's go check out the captain's cabin."
"They said they needed help."
Will frowned, seemingly unable to think of anything worth helping out in the captain's cabin... He glanced at Wen Yuanzheng and the others a few times, then looked away, "Never mind."
"Get lost."
Wen Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left with the bearded man.
Qin Ke glanced back at Will a few times, and only when the group approached the captain's cabin did Qin Ke suddenly speak, "Did Will figure out what we were doing?"
Wen Yuan was startled by his statement, "How is that possible!"
"Would he have stopped us if he had known?"
Qin Ke didn't say anything more, but just watched them open the door to the captain's cabin.
……
During this time, Yan Xun had already discussed countermeasures with Gu Jia and the other two.
Upon seeing Wen Yuanzheng and his three companions, he immediately made arrangements—
"We need someone to go and throw away the amulet of the sun god."
It's daytime now, and the afterglow of the sun helps the Terror maintain its illusion.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanzheng immediately raised his hand, "I'll go."
Anyway, his original mission included sabotaging the Terror Ship.
“Then we’ll split up and try to take care of all these crew members.” Yan Xun thought for a moment and realized that the most troublesome ones were probably the Whale Speakers. Just as he was about to assign people, he saw Qin Ke slowly raise his hand—
"Can I go find the Whale Whisperer?"
Yan Xun looked at Qin Ke.
"I think I have a way to handle him."
The bearded man and his companions were happy not to deal with the seemingly most troublesome whale talker, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Gawain, however, was somewhat disapproving. "Can you handle the Whale Speaker?"
"How about I go instead?"
"I'm actually pretty good at fighting."
Yan Xun said to Gao Wen, "No need." Then he looked at Qin Ke and said, "You go."
"You should be able to finish it, right?"
Qin Ke nodded. "I have a way to deal with him."
The rest don't need any arrangements, just act according to the situation... Yan Xun glanced at the players in the room, nodded, and said, "Let's do it."
At this point, only half an hour had passed since the captain's head was chopped off.
In ten minutes, it will be their lunch break.
