The bright sunshine shined on the sea and each wave glimmered with a dazzling light. A small sailing boat sails steadily, and the bow, which rose like a swan's neck, split the seawater, and the waves leap like musical notes.
Long, slender sculls extended from both sides of the stern of the boat, and they were paddled in unison to the chant of the crew. When the wind and waves are calm, paddling becomes the driving force for navigation.
According to common sense, many preparations are needed to sail smoothly. First, one needs to understand the sea area and have sufficient food and water, and at least a not-too-bright compass.
But the people on this boat were not prepared at all. The unscrupulous captain didn't even know the name of this sea area.
On the deck of the small boat, Tangke stood arrogantly with his hands behind his back. He wore a black windbreaker, and his chest, which is strong and powerful, was exposed at the opening. The sailors gather together and waited quietly for the captain's instructions. These sailors have deep-set eye sockets, thick beards, and strong and sturdy physiques.
After half a month of sailing, the supplies on the boat are running out, and there was little food and water left. If they tighten their belts, the twenty-something people on board can eat for another week.
At this point, Tangke, as the captain, faced the biggest task of stabilizing morale.
"We are very close to the port now, and we should be able to arrive in about seven days. But we have a small problem. The salted meat and rice on the boat are almost gone, so I have decided to cut your daily rations in half." Tangke pointed to the burly sailors.
"Anyone who violates this rule will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Anyone who disagrees can challenge me one-on-one, and if you lose, you will also be thrown into the sea." Tangke said.
He was trying to deceive himself as well. In fact, he didn't even know where the port was. The future fate can only be left to fate. He couldn't tell the truth, otherwise, the sailors would revolt due to the shortage of food.
"Captain, what about yourself?" asked a thin sailor. The other sailors also looked at Tangke.
"What about me?" Tangke frowned.
"I mean, what about your own food?" the sailor explained.
Tangke hesitated for a moment, cursing the talkative sailor in his mind, and answered painfully, "I'm the same, my appetite will be halved. But the fish I catch belong to me."
The sailors had no questions and silently accepted the captain's slight favoritism.
"Also, one more thing to emphasize, it is strictly forbidden to urinate on the mast. I don't want mushrooms growing under the mast," Tangke said seriously. As the captain, he cherished this ship, which was his private property.
The sailors all promised, some couldn't help but laugh, apparently they had fertilized the mast quite a bit.
"That's all, now get lost."
The captain raised his hand, and the sailors dispersed one after another, taking their positions. Some nimbly climbed up the rope ladder to the lookout, while others went down the ladder into the cabin. A slow-moving sailor was kicked fiercely by the captain before he quickened his pace and went to secure the mooring ropes.
Managing this group of unruly sailors, the captain could not be a gentleman.
The sea breeze blew Tangke's black hair incessantly, carrying a salty scent, which was the breath of life. The wind direction in this sea area often changed, not always a steady wind, which always made people puzzled. The sailors had to adjust the angle of the triangular sails accordingly, allowing the wind to fill the sails and maintain the fastest speed.
Now the north wind was blowing, and in the distance, rain clouds were slowly approaching. It seemed that it was going to rain, which would help ease the water shortage problem.
Just as Tangke had this thought, the sky suddenly darkened like a woman changing her mood, and the sea became unpredictable.
A few days ago, Tangke was a landlubber who knew nothing about reading the weather. But since he inexplicably crossed over to this world, he had gained these skills. He used to be a thug in the underworld, working in a nightclub and responsible for maintaining order.
He was a loner, raised in an orphanage since childhood. Because there were no elders to discipline him, he got used to living an unfettered life. He had always enjoyed fighting since he was a child and fought his way up. Later, he even made a living by fighting, watching the place for his boss, and cleaning up those troublemakers.
He worked on a no-night street, a street full of entertainment venues. At night, the street was like a car exhibition, where people sought all kinds of pleasure in the midst of revelry. It was impossible to open a shop on that street with just money. You had to have some background and power, and each shop had to keep a few thugs like him.
Due to the nature of his job, he had a lot of free time, during which he played computer games, such as the newly released game of the year, "Pirate King."
"Pirate King" is a game that revolves around navigation, depicting a grand world at sea. However, unlike other ordinary sailing games, this game incorporates many fantasy elements and has been referred to as the "Lord of the Rings" of sailing games by game reviewers.
At the beginning of the game, a bold statement appears: "Hoist the sails in the raging waves, drink and laugh amidst the flying cannonballs. This is the pirate's anthem!"
Players will take on the role of pirates and engage in various pirate activities, such as looting, sea battles, and kidnapping. This savage profession is full of fantasy and is captivating. Although players can also engage in maritime trade, the income is meager, and only looting will yield a generous return. Both the main storyline and side quests in the game are related to the pirate identity, with the goal of dominating the entire sea and building an invincible fleet.
One can only be considered the king of the sea if they are strong enough to go to any corner of the ocean!
There are many navigation games, each with its own unique features, but the emphasis of "Pirate King" is on fantasy. Players can build all sorts of exotic ships, such as ghost ships that appear and disappear, sea monster ships that can dive, magic ships equipped with magic cannons, and even ships made of dragon bones!
In addition, sailors have a variety of abilities, including swordsmen with outstanding talents, noble and powerful wizards, and eerie and mysterious witches. It is these fantasy elements that make the game's sea battles different from the rest.
In the promotional video for the game, there is an epic sea battle in which a "ship" built on the back of a whale battle against another "carrier" loaded with griffins. The whale ship can spray water columns to attack, while the griffins become a powerful aerial attack force. The video does not record the entire battle but only captures a few exciting moments that will make you feel passionate.
Tangke was deeply drawn to the lifestyle of pirates, and he had been following the release of this game closely. He was eager to get his hands on the game and installed it on his computer right away. He created an account in the game, named his character after himself, and obtained a small boat and more than 20 sailors.
These sailors had a grappling hook skill, which allowed them to accurately throw the hook onto an enemy ship when the two ships approached each other, and then climb aboard the enemy ship's deck using the rope.
After Tangke received a raiding mission, he set sail on his small boat. Not long after setting out to sea, he encountered and defeated two sea monsters. While he was still enjoying the game, suddenly there was an earthquake. In the violent shaking, he hit his head on the screen and was immediately injured and bleeding.
This incident triggered a strange change. Tangke fell into a vortex and saw countless scenes flashing by in a stream of light. He flew to the end of the light and after falling out, he was standing at the bow of the ship, facing the boundless sea!
The more than 20 strong men on the ship called him the captain as if it were a matter of course.
Tangke grew up fighting and was courageous, so he was not afraid. He remained calm and observed for several days, familiarizing himself with the basic situation. The sailors on this ship were all very familiar, just like the sailors in the Pirate King game. After arriving here, his physical strength increased, and he also learned a language and navigation knowledge.
The appearance of this ship was also consistent with the game, with a small skull flag hanging, indicating that this was a pirate ship!
Tangke took down the skull flag the next day. This world was real and couldn't be taken lightly. The pirate flag was too conspicuous. Pirate ships raised their pirate flags only after discovering prey, and the pirate flag had other meanings as well. For example, a red flag represented a massacre, and it wasn't just hung up casually.
As for whether this world was in the game or another world, Tangke did not yet know.
At this point, Tangke accepted the fact that he had crossed over, took on the role of a pirate captain, and equipped himself with a slim curved sword at his waist and a ship's wheel in his hand, commanding the sailors to brave the waves.
He used to be a thug, but now he was a pirate. In any case, they were both villains, and the nature of the two was not much different. He would not feel scared. If he encountered a small merchant ship that could be robbed, he would not hesitate to lead the sailors to attack and loot it.
Accompanying Tangke on his journey was also the game system of "Pirate King". Now, this system has taken root in his mind. With a single thought, he can easily call it up. However, the system interface is now greyed out and cannot be accessed. In the lower right corner of the screen, a row of prompts appears:
| Due to a world map conversion and serious data conflicts, the game system is being integrated. |
| Current progress: 90%... In progress, please wait. |
