"I haven't used this Mad Treant Mask for a long time. I didn't expect it to solve a lot of troubles this time. Sure enough, every piece of equipment has its place... and the rich status brought by VIP Player is also very useful. It allows me not to worry about money, and I can easily solve many problems with gold coins..."
Wang Zhifan felt a little sigh in his heart at this moment. When the port inspector insisted on detaining their ship just now, he had thought of simply breaking it and sailing away, but in the emergency, he suddenly thought of what he had. This magical mask tried to disguise and subcontract port personnel. Unexpectedly, after a while of tossing, he was able to get through, and the pirate ship successfully obtained the qualification to enter Princess Port normally.
As for why he took off his mask and disguise and returned through Entering Dreams and Dreambreaking, it was because as soon as he arrived at the Harbor General Administration and learned from another inspector to handle the ship's entry procedures, he quickly found someone to ask for leave. For this, he paid several gold coins to find a colleague of the original owner to help replace him.
After all, he knew very well that even if he relied on Mad Treant Mask to pretend to be the inspector, he would never really become the other person. The longer he stayed in the original host environment, the more likely it would be for problems to arise. It would be safest to just ask for leave and run away. Anyway, he couldn't stay in this port for long. After the ship left, everything here would become insignificant.
"Steven·Borg... I just found out over there that this person's name is this. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the writing here, otherwise I would definitely be able to perform more operations... And I have to dispose of this guy's body as soon as possible. Should I chop it up and throw it into the sea, or burn it directly to ashes?"
At this moment, Wang Zhifan was thinking about how to dispose of the body of the inspector that he had stuffed into the big cabinet, while looking at a somewhat unique brass nameplate in his hand. This was the identity certificate he obtained after searching the body after killing the other person not long ago. Unfortunately, he did not recognize the words on it, so he figured it out by knocking around another inspector on the boat. It was this experience that made him decide to take leave immediately to avoid unnecessary complications.
Before Wang Zhifan could think of the safest way to dispose of the body, a middle-aged white man wearing a captain's hat quickly walked into the captain's room. He was the captain of Sea Parrot. He looked confused. Name Color said to Wang Zhifan who was sitting on the captain's chair and had just put his hand in his pocket, "Sir, if what happened just now involves any secrets of yours, I won't continue to ask, but we can enter the port now. What are you going to do next?"
The captain of Sea Parrot seemed to have made up his mind about Wang Zhifan's strange behavior just now, and no longer wanted to ask for more information.
"My friend, it's actually not a big secret. It's just that I haven't had the time to tell you yet... We will still follow the plan later."
Wang Zhifan saw this and quickly comforted the other party. His follow-up activities at the port must be assisted by this person. The person who stayed here was a clone, which led to the situation that was easily misunderstood.
"Yes, I understand... Dare I ask if this secret is about your true identity?"
Captain Sea Parrot nodded after hearing this, and his curious eyes swept over Wang Zhifan in front of him, as if he wanted to see through his secret.
"You can think so."
Wang Zhifan smiled after hearing this, as if what the other party guessed was true.
The two then chatted for a while in the captain's room, and then the sailors slowly drove the two ships into Princess Port and docked at a special berth.
At this time, it was time to get off the ship and deal with the follow-up matters. Wang Zhifan first entrusted Captain Sea Parrot to help him arrange for port professionals to repair the ship. Then he went to the cabin and came to the pirates to give them a final lecture.
"Everyone! I think you already know that we have now entered Princess Port. In the next few days, you can freely move around the port, but you will have to return after three days. By then, as long as your expenses at the port are not too exaggerated, I will be responsible for reimbursing you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pirates standing in front of him breathed a sigh of relief. They were obviously afraid that he would still be guarding the ship as he did at sea, so that they did not dare to escape at all.
"Old man, big man, come with me, I have something to tell you."
After announcing to ordinary pirates that they could move freely, Wang Zhifan then named the two pirate backbones he focused on.
In fact, these two people were often called to talk by him during the past few days at sea. Naturally, there was nothing to worry about at this time. They quickly followed him out of the cabin and came to the deck.
In the past, Wang Zhifan chose to talk to them in the captain's cabin, but this time he changed his position and led them to the side of the ship and started immediately.
"Old man, what are you going to do in these three days?"
I saw Wang Zhifan walking to the side of the ship and looking at the bustling port scene outside, and said to someone without looking back.
"Old man, of course I will eat, drink and have fun for three days, and then I will come back to help the captain find Forbidden Fruit Island."
Even though Wang Zhifan did not look back at him at this time, the old man still said with a smile on his face, his eyes seemed to be full of excitement for the free life in the port.
"Well, as long as you are willing to keep your promise."
Wang Zhifan seemed quite satisfied after hearing this. He did not continue to say anything to the old man, but went on to ask the same question to another strong man Crocodile Man without looking back.
"I plan to go to this port to buy some things and then return to the ship to pray."
The big guy Crocodile Man immediately answered from behind Wang Zhifan, his tone was deep and thick, with a timbre that was very different from that of ordinary humans.
"Well, I hope Sea God will bless you."
Wang Zhifan seemed to be very satisfied with the alien's answer.
Then he turned around and said to the two people he valued more:
"I hope you have a good time these three days, just like our future cooperation... You can go about your own business now."
He didn't say much warning and just let them leave.
The one-eyed old man's eyes were slightly excited when he saw this, but he suppressed his emotions and turned around to leave smoothly. He didn't even forget to say goodbye to Wang Zhifan before leaving.
Crocodile Man The strong man was not polite. He didn't even leave immediately. He turned and walked towards the entrance of the cabin ladder on the deck.
Soon, Wang Zhifan on the deck saw many pirates climbing over the side of the ship and climbing down the rope, entering the bustling Princess Port. Among them was the one-eyed old man, who looked nothing unusual.
"I don't know how many of them will come back... but we can't let them go completely. We have to keep an eye on key targets."
Wang Zhifan thought in his mind, and then released a clone of himself Dream Self, passed through the hull of the ship and sneaked into the ground without anyone noticing, and began to follow the departing pirates.
He believed that these guys would not mess around in this port with a powerful navy, otherwise they would be easily caught if their identities were exposed, but he was not sure how many of these people were willing to work for him. In his expectation, it was most appropriate for these people to control the pirate ship under his feet to the Storm Sea, because they were most familiar with the ship, but no one would know the outcome until then.
"Let's make some preparations and recruit a group of crew members at the port. Anyway, I have gold coins now and can afford a high salary. I will definitely be able to attract some talents."
Wang Zhifan thought about it, and soon left the ship and arrived on the deck of the ship named Sea Parrot on the side berth.
There were no pirates on this ship that would cause him trouble, but the two brothers Chen Ming and Chen Can were waiting here. From the beginning to the end, the pirates did not know their relationship with Wang Zhifan. This isolation was deliberately done by Wang Zhifan for their safety.
"Brother Fan, the two of us don't feel too sick today. We probably won't get seasick again when we go to sea in the future."
As soon as he saw Wang Zhifan coming over, Chen Ming immediately told him that their bodies had basically returned to normal and that they could help later.
"Very good. Now that your condition has recovered, you can participate in the rest of the matter."
Wang Zhifan couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. He actually had a headache taking care of the two sick people, but now that they have adapted to the bumps on the sea, Storm Sea should be able to contribute some strength later.
"Brother Fan, we want to go for a walk, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chen Can on the side then asked him that things like getting off the boat and strolling around were originally very personal, but he has been influenced by his brother these days and has been very cautious in his actions. He will give priority to the opinions of Wang Zhifan to avoid causing any trouble.
"Of course you can go shopping... but again, you must pay attention to safety at all times."
Wang Zhifan thought for a moment and then answered the young man, agreeing that they should disembark and hang out.
"Brother Fan, aren't you going?"
Chen Ming was a little strange after hearing this, because he could see that Wang Zhifan seemed to have no intention of visiting the port with them at this time.
"I still have a lot of things to do, such as repairing ships, recruiting people, etc. I'll talk about it when I have time..."
Wang Zhifan replied casually that he really couldn't leave at the moment.
"In this case... then the two of us will help Brother Fan recruit people. I have interviewed many employees before and have recruitment experience."
Chen Can immediately replied with an idea after hearing this, and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to hang out and lie down with his brother.
"That's how it should be. Brother Fan, you don't know how many things you have done along the way. The two of us have made no difference at all, so it's time to help."
Chen Ming also immediately agreed. He obviously also realized that his brothers were too salty in this copy. Although it was to avoid getting into trouble, it was not good to leave everything to Wang Zhifan to solve.
"Okay, I'm worried about how to recruit people. If you have experience, you can be in charge. I need experienced sailors and navigators... Salary is not a problem. You can pay more."
The few people then began to discuss specific recruitment matters, which were related to their subsequent trip to the Storm Sea, so they could not be careless. For this purpose, Wang Zhifan planned to gather three types of candidates: the pirates of the original ship, the people introduced by the captain of Sea Parrot, and the people he personally recruited, in order to avoid a shortage of crew members and prevent any party from colluding to fool him along the way.
While they are busy here, in other places in this copy world, other players who are also players are also acting independently, actively or passively planning to go to the Storm Sea to find Forbidden Fruit Island.
For example, the player who had a deep impression on them was now in big trouble, making it impossible for him to continue to lie flat.
"Brothers! Come on for me! Steal all the treasures in this town!"
I saw the port town where the player first arrived. At this time, several pirate ships came to the port for some reason. Then thousands of pirates rushed down from above and began to loot the port town with great force. The town's defense force was unable to cope with it at all, and the entire town fell into chaos.
"Sure enough, you are not allowed to lie down... I have only been comfortable for a few days... it is really troublesome to play a copy..."
In an ordinary hotel, a man who was sleeping peacefully on the bed soon discovered that there were a large number of enemies outside, which forced him to get up and prepare to leave.
His appearance is a bit strange, with long black hair and a thick beard. He looks a bit slovenly and "artist". He is the player who said at the beginning of the dungeon that he did not want to play and just wanted to lie flat.
"What is the target of this copy? In the ocean? What island?"
After he realized that lying flat would really attract the dungeon to target him, his face suddenly showed a hard-thinking expression, as if he had almost forgotten the goal of clearing this dungeon.
"It's better to ask other players first."
He felt like he couldn't figure it out, but he wasn't discouraged. Even when he heard that the pirates outside had rushed to his neighborhood and started killing and robbing, he was quite calm.
Amidst the roars, cries and screams coming from outside, his whole body suddenly changed violently, turning into a bird, flying out of the window, flying into the sky, and soon he was overlooking the entire town that had been plundered by pirates.
Suddenly, his figure flew to the ground, and then his body changed again, from a small flying bird to a three-meter-tall Silverback Gorilla in the blink of an eye. In three strokes, five divided by two, he beat a dozen pirates into meat patties, and rescued three young men and women who were fighting fiercely with the pirates.
"Are you all players? Next, I will take you to clear this dungeon together."
The person then transformed from Silverback Gorilla into a normal human form, and spoke to the three players in front of him who were still staying in this small town.
"Are you... that person?!"
The three players were very surprised when the gorilla suddenly appeared in front of them and turned into a human in the blink of an eye. However, when they saw that the human was the lying player at the beginning of the copy, they immediately screamed.
"It's me, don't waste time talking like this. If you don't take action, the dungeon will send stronger enemies. Leave now."
As he spoke, he led the players toward the harbor quietly, which was very different from the way he lay down while drinking and eating grilled fish in a tavern a few days ago.
