After deciding to leave things to fate, Zhang He turned off the navigation.
It was only a few days; they wouldn't get too lost. Even with ancient tools, they could re-orient themselves on the map.
They wanted the thrill of it, while Mo Qiong... wanted to steer the ship's course.
Yes, where this ship went next wasn't decided by heaven.
With Mo Qiong here, where this ship drifted wasn't up to chance, but predetermined.
They were still over a thousand nautical miles from the One Piece's treasure location. At a speed of a dozen kilometers per hour, it would take three days to get there.
Playing in the sea every day, surprises... would come.
"Come on, let's fry this fish."
When at sea, everyone had the chance and liked to eat what they caught themselves.
The fish Mo Qiong had casually grabbed when he came up was already on a plate.
After sailing aimlessly for a day at sea, they woke up the next day and missed the taste of mackerel again.
After all, the one fish from yesterday was too little. With Mo Qiong, there were nine people on the ship, so they only got to taste it.
"That mackerel was really delicious, but it wasn't even enough to fill our teeth. Let's go, let's catch a few more today," Xiao Kun said.
Everyone took out their fishing gear, baited their hooks, and started fishing.
However, fishing was also a matter of chance. Even though their bait was specially made and very attractive to fish.
The fish they caught were never the ones they wanted to eat.
"What kind of weird fish are these?" They fished for several hours, but not a single one was edible.
Of course, all fish were edible, but many tropical fish were extremely unpalatable, and it was best not to eat them.
Fish like mackerel were rare delicacies among tropical fish.
"Where would you find mackerel in the deep sea? It's like that place last time, a matter of chance," Zhang He said.
Xiao Kun said, "I knew we should have caught more at that place last time. It looks like we won't have any luck eating fish today."
Mo Qiong smiled, thinking to himself that they could eat fish on the third day. The treasure couldn't be hidden in the deep sea; it had to be in a place similar to where Large Pearl was. With such shallows and sandy areas, there would be large schools of fish.
Everyone was bored for a while and fed the fish they caught to the seabirds.
Mo Qiong and Zhang He were drinking wine when Mo Qiong asked, "What do you guys usually do for fun when you're at sea?"
"Eat, sleep, and f***..." Xiao Kun said with a laugh from the side.
"Uh..." Mo Qiong was taken aback and didn't know what to say.
Zhang He chuckled, "Don't listen to him ramble. We have plenty of things to do. How about a card game?"
Xiao Kun said, "I'm easy, as long as it's for money."
Mo Qiong was stunned, "What can nine people play?"
"Yeah, we have nine people... Hmm, let's play a board game!" Xiao Kun said.
"Board... board game?"
"Yeah, do you know Werewolf?" Xiao Kun said.
Mo Qiong almost spat out his wine, looking at Xiao Kun in astonishment, "What did you say? Werewolf for money?"
"Don't you understand? Two werewolves act as dealers. If they win, they eat the six villagers. If they lose, they pay the six villagers. Hmm, how about ten thousand per round?" Xiao Kun said.
Mo Qiong's mouth twitched. This was too brutal. Werewolf could be played for such high stakes.
"Forget it, forget it, I'm not playing," Mo Qiong said.
"If you don't play, we can't. It's an eight-player game plus a moderator. How can we play with fewer people?" Xiao Kun asked.
"Do you have to play for money? Can't we just play for fun?" Mo Qiong sighed.
Xiao Kun said, "It's no fun without money. There's no desire to win."
Mo Qiong was speechless. He didn't quite understand these second-generation rich kids.
Zhang He said, "Come on, Mo, you won't lose much. Even if you lose ten games in a row, and you're the werewolf every time, you'll only lose three hundred thousand."
Mo Qiong said speechlessly, "I'm not afraid of losing, but I'm very good at Werewolf. I've long lost interest in this game."
Everyone was taken aback. Was he bragging like this?
Xiao Kun got excited, "Oh really? That good? Come on, I'm not afraid of how good you are."
"You said it yourself..." Mo Qiong said.
Everyone pulled Mo Qiong along to play. One girl acted as the moderator and kept track of the wins and losses. This small amount of money would be paid after they returned to the country, and no one would default on their debts.
Mo Qiong sighed and had no choice but to play with them.
He had played this game before, but even if he played it well, there were times when he couldn't read people.
The fun of Werewolf lies in the fact that no one knows each other's identity.
But... Mo Qiong's ability was equivalent to being able to verify identities infinitely.
He could directly become an 'Awakened Player' and know everyone's identity...
If it weren't for the money involved, Mo Qiong might not have been as good at playing as these people for the sake of fun. But since Xiao Kun insisted on playing for money, there was nothing Mo Qiong could do. He didn't want to lose money, so he had to activate his "guaranteed win" mode.
Mo Qiong never gambled, but if others liked to give away money, he didn't mind.
Everyone placed their identity cards on the table. He blew a breath, and he knew where the werewolves were.
"Werewolf card..." Mo Qiong softly exhaled, and saw the card in front of Xiao Kun slightly shift.
"Tsk tsk..." Mo Qiong looked at Xiao Kun's righteous and eloquent speeches again, and couldn't help but hear many loopholes.
In a game with two werewolves, even if Mo Qiong was a villager, as long as his speech was good, he could basically win. The werewolves simply couldn't hide.
If Mo Qiong were a werewolf, the good guys' faction would be done for. He knew the Seer's identity and would eliminate them on the very first night.
As a result, Mo Qiong truly became like an ultimate high-level player, controlling the situation and constantly winning. Whichever faction he was on, that faction won.
Even if everyone noticed his prowess and mindlessly targeted him, they could at most only win one game against him.
But as long as he got one chance to speak, the scales of victory would heavily tilt towards his faction.
"What the hell are you playing! Are you an Awakened Player or something!" Everyone's mentality collapsed after they saw him win ten games in a row, and carry every single one.
Mo Qiong said, "I told you I'm invincible at this game, but you insisted on playing."
Everyone was speechless. With a judge present, he couldn't possibly be an Awakened Player. He must just be incredibly skilled, able to deduce identities directly from everyone's speeches.
Suddenly, they didn't dare to play anymore. It wasn't that they were afraid of losing money, but the game experience was extremely poor.
In fact, Mo Qiong didn't just play this game. Theoretically, for any card game that wasn't purely based on luck and had even a shred of skill involved, his win rate could be very high.
If he wanted to know what card was where, he could just toss a hair.
If the hair floated towards the card deck, it meant a certain card wasn't in anyone's hand. If the hair floated towards someone, it meant a certain card was in that person's hand.
This way, he could know everyone's hidden cards... What was the point of playing then!
Xiao Kun was a person who liked to gamble. No matter what they played, he wanted stakes; otherwise, he'd find it boring and uninteresting.
For the next two days, he kept dragging Mo Qiong into card games, from Zha Jinhua to Show Hand, playing them all.
In total, he ended up gifting Mo Qiong three hundred thousand...
Mo Qiong was also amused. Not counting the seven million, this alone was enough to cover all the expenses for his seafaring equipment...
"Your luck is just too good!" Xiao Kun said speechlessly.
When Xiao Kun had good cards, Mo Qiong would fold and not compete with him. But once Mo Qiong decided to call all the way to the limit, his hand was always better than Xiao Kun's.
So in Xiao Kun's opinion, it wasn't that Mo Qiong's luck was too good, but that his own luck was too bad.
"Come on! Let's play Dou Dizhu!" On the fourth day, Xiao Kun continued to drag everyone to play cards.
However, Mo Qiong refused to play anymore. In Dou Dizhu, even if he knew the opponent's cards, it was useless if his own hand wasn't good.
In games like Zha Jinhua, he could fold, but there was no such option in Dou Dizhu.
"Brother, don't get too worked up. We've been playing for three days, let's find a place to relax," Mo Qiong said with a smile.
They had arrived at their destination, near the GPS signal for the lost treasure.
p.s: Sorry.
