Melodrama

The ship sank incredibly fast, capsizing dramatically in the blink of an eye. The people on deck were thrown into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven fared the worst. He was wearing an Iron Ambassador Set of steel plate armor, weighing several hundred pounds. Before, it wouldn't have been a problem, but since the engine was replaced, swimming had become a real challenge. His weight caused him to sink as soon as he entered the sea, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. He was already struggling to hold his breath and starting to lose blood.

(Oh no, am I going to drown here today? Seriously? And if I lose my equipment here, will I be able to pick it up again? I just got this axe from the dungeon and haven't even applied for equipment protection yet. If I lose it, I'm doomed.)

The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven Equaling Heaven thought in despair, looking around. Suddenly, a seal swam quickly past him. It was a Druid from his guild. "Help me!" he shouted, but no sound came out. He watched as the seal swam towards a Blood Elf girl.

(Damn it, you heartless bastard! I'm about to drown and you're still busy chasing girls.) The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven roared angrily in his heart. He wanted to find someone to save him, but when he turned around and looked, the other players from the Horde around him were in no better shape. They were all struggling in the sea. Even if they could swim, it wouldn't be of much use. How could they expect to swim back in this Great Sea?

Suddenly, a dark figure swam swiftly towards him from afar.

Is it a shark? Or Naga? This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly; now we've encountered a monster. We're doomed.

But when the dark figure got closer, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven was stunned. It was a mermaid with a curvaceous figure, covered in fine scales, and its huge tail shone with golden light in the water. Its delicate face had a stunning beauty in the seawater.

This was the first time the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven had ever seen a mermaid, and he felt a surge of joy.

Well, it's better to die at the hands of a mermaid than to drown or be eaten by a shark.

The mermaid swam over and kissed him, instantly giving the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven a buff.

[Mermaid's Kiss: You have received a mermaid's kiss. From now on, you can Water Breathing. Remaining time: 60 minutes]

He immediately felt he could breathe again.

(Wait, is this mermaid going to save me? Or has she taken a fancy to me and wants to drag me back to the Dragon Palace to be her husband?) The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven was overjoyed and stopped struggling, letting the mermaid drag him away into the distance.

But where are they dragging me? It doesn't seem like they're dragging me to the bottom of the sea. Could it be a hidden quest? He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, thinking that this was truly a blessing in disguise. Indeed, he had never encountered any danger while traveling by sea before, but this sudden danger clearly triggered some kind of hidden plot. Looking around, he discovered that he wasn't the only one experiencing this; many mermaids were dragging adventurers forward in the sea, taking them somewhere unknown.

Meanwhile, in the waters on the other side of the Lost Island, a group of the Alliance players encountered a similar situation to the Horde players. They were bored because they had nothing to do, and two Night Elf even started cosplaying scenes from Titanic on the bow of their ship.

Then they were tragically ambushed and brutally beaten by a group of Hydras. Although they managed to kill several Hydras, the Alliance ship was sunk. However, perhaps because the Alliance's shipbuilding technology was superior, the ship did not sink so quickly. The bow was already submerged, but the stern was still sticking out of the water.

At this very moment, Jing Wuming, the number one assassin of the Glory War Soul Guild, sat on the sinking stern of the ship, gazing at the sea with a sigh of despair. "Why am I so unlucky?" he thought. "I just logged out of the game to have lunch, and when I logged back in, the ship was sinking. Is this where my first cheat code is going to end?"

Jing Wuming, who is now level 42 and has never died, was feeling a bit sad when a conversation nearby made him turn around.

The Moe Liu Xi: "Jack, I love you."

Liu Xi's Mengmeng: "Don't be like this... It's not time to say goodbye yet... not yet... do you understand?"

Moe Liu Xi: "I'm so cold..."

Liu Xi's Mengmeng: "Listen, Lusi... you will be saved... you will live... you will have... many children... a house full of descendants... you will live a long life... you will die in a warm bed... not here... not tonight, not... like this, do you understand?"

The Moe Liu Xi: "... My body is numb..."

Liu Xi's Mengmeng: "... Winning the ticket... is the happiest thing in my life... and I... meeting you... is my good fortune, Lusi... I am content."

Hearing the conversation between the two bastards next to him, Jing Wuming. (Are you two ever going to stop? The ship is sinking and you're still doing cosplay. Are you going to keep doing cosplay forever? It's broad daylight, lady! What are you talking about tonight?!)

(It's still cold! Cold my foot! This is tropical waters, okay? I even saw a swallowtail fish (a type of tropical fish). And that plank of yours is big enough for five or six people to lie on, okay? And you, Dark Night, aren't you afraid of getting bitten by a shark while you're lying in the water? What's with that look of utter despair on your face? Do we have to be so sentimental?)

Jing Wuming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his resentment as Danshengou almost made him throw a flying knife.

It seemed even the heavens couldn't bear to watch any longer. A hydra suddenly emerged from the sea and blasted the remaining shipwrecks to pieces with a single breath. Now, the elf dog and his Jing Wuming, all sank into the sea.

Just like the Horde, they were also rescued, but not by mermaids, but by a group of sea monsters.

"Hey, where are we going?" The Moe Liu Xi asked the mermaid hugging her timidly. She was the elf who cosplayed as the Titanic, but she never expected to actually fall into the sea like the Titanic's heroine. However, the plot seemed a bit off; how did she end up being saved by a mermaid again? Should she cosplay as Pirates of the Caribbean next?

Just as she hesitated, suddenly, the fog in front of her dissipated, and an island appeared in her sight. She could see Naga patrolling in the sea. Could those hydras from before have been sent by the Naga? Jing Wuming wondered to himself. While he was pondering this, the sea monsters had already circled the bay, and a small camp appeared in his sight.
