First Player

Chapter 289 Chapter 287·Opening Lightning Strike

Before Su Mingan could react, he saw the woman quickly opening the door of the box and walking out angrily.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut in front of him. He didn't chase it, but thought of the woman's attire just now.

She was wearing a dress embellished with gems and a blue necklace around her neck, which looked like modern attire.

Combined with the neat and clean layout around it, this copy... could it be a copy of a modern background?

The barrage passed by in the upper right corner of the field of vision, and the audience was happy to hear this opening.

【I'm coming! 】

[Scolding and scolding, thunder struck at the opening. 】

[This arrangement is a modern version! It must be a modern version! Su Mingan’s identity is a domineering president! This must be a bloody marriage drama!!]

[Sit down at the table, I have been staying in this live broadcast room this week. 】

[Wait a minute, do you think the first-person perspective is a bit shaky...? 】

[It's a little shaking, one after another. Is it an escape level with an earthquake at the beginning? ? 】

Su Mingan stood up quickly.

He also noticed that the ground beneath his feet was shaking, although it was very subtle. But he didn't feel like it was an earthquake, but...

…More like something underfoot, sailing on the water.

If you think of the name of the dungeon, "Feast on the Sea"...

He walked around the white dining table and opened the door——

He saw an endless blue sea.

"Crash..."

The sound of the sea rippled in front of him, and the white waves flew past along the edge of the boat.

The crimson railing stood before his eyes, and the yellow shipboard beneath his feet reflected the dazzling color of the sun. Marshmallow-like clouds floated in the sky, and the sky covered his head like a pot.

Not far away, there were seagulls flying leisurely. Under the bright sunshine, the sea surface sparkles like transparent sand.

He walked to the railing and turned on the system mirror.

He saw his face, which was tilted toward the west and had slightly deep features. It is worth noting that the eyes of this body are darker-toned gold, like a mixed-race person.

He was wearing a medieval-style Western dress. Judging from the texture of the fabric, it should be worth a lot of money.

...This person's status should not be low.

He observed the arrangement of the ship.

This is a huge ship, at least now that he is standing on the promenade, he can't see the edge of the ship at a glance. The lighting fixtures on the ship looked like kerosene lamps, and he saw no modern appliances.

He rummaged through his clothes and found an ID card and a boat ticket.

He first looked at the ID card, which was like an ID card with his name and date of birth marked on it, as well as a very blurry photo.

This information was very limited, but after he moved his eyes to the ID card, another piece of supplementary information jumped out in front of his eyes——

[Name: Su Lin]

[Identity: A down-and-out nobleman of the Yate Empire, who boarded the Yate in order to explore the city in the clouds. 】

…

...City in the clouds?

Su Mingan roughly understood the sailing target of this giant ship, which should be the so-called city in the clouds.

There should not be all 10,000 players on this ship. This ship can hold about two to three thousand people at most, and there are also local NPC indigenous crews mixed in. It is impossible for 10,000 people to be on board.

It can be speculated that the players' starting positions should be different. Only a few people started on this giant ship like him, while the rest should already be in the so-called "city in the clouds".

My current status is that of a down-and-out noble, so the woman before may be the target of family marriage. Judging from her reaction, she must be an NPC.

He looked at the ticket in his other hand.

His room number is marked on the ticket, which is "Fourth Floor No. B02", and next to the text is a picture of a giant cruise ship, exactly what this giant ship looks like.

While he was looking at the ticket, as if something had been activated, a familiar system announcement sounded in his ears——

【Welcome all players to the seventh world!】

[World name: Feast on the Sea]

[Basic mission for all players: Survive and survive until the twelfth day. 】

[This world is an open world, there are no fixed advanced tasks, players can explore on their own. 】

[This world is an open world with hundreds of perfect clearance routes for players to explore on their own. 】

…

"Ding dong!"

[The mission of the person in power: reach the coordinates (256, 835, 1350). 】

[Task reward: Advancement of status as "the person in power". 】

[Punishment for mission failure: The identity of the "power holder" is restored to the first level. 】

…

【Welcome players to Yatehao!】

[This world is a large-scale competitive world with tens of thousands of people, and the dungeon chat channel has been opened. 】

[Messages sent by players in the channel can be seen by 10,000 players at the same time. 】

[The dungeon chat channel has an information blocking mechanism, and certain hidden "specific information" is not allowed to be communicated. 】

[The current player’s identity is detected: second-level ruler, the number of times he can speak during this instance: 20 times. 】

…

[The player's current team formation has been detected, the number of people in the team: 5 people. 】

[When team members come within one kilometer of each other, team chat is open. 】

…

A series of "ding-ding-dong-dong" sounds rang in his ears.

At the same time, the world chat channel was also opened at this moment.

Information like snowflakes quickly drifted across the lower left corner of his vision. These names are followed by some special names, some of which are the honors of the players themselves, and some of which are the names of the guilds to which the players belong.

[Kaili (Guild·Nightingale member): There are so few speeches! ? Why did I only do it five times in total? Didn’t the fifth world in the past mean that there was no limit on the number of speeches? 】

[Terry (Organization·United Group): It may be related to the conditions for clearing the dungeon, and players are not allowed to report too much information. 】

[Alyssa (Member of Guild Paladin Crusader): This book looks like a good one, with blue ocean, beach, and city in the clouds. There are actually boats and rivers in the city, like a resort world. 】

[Beard (Guild·The Sun Never Sets): Vacation? ? Although this city looks like an ordinary sea city so far, there may be some strange events in the future, just like Minghui back then... Who would have thought that there would be a wave of death on the tenth day...]

[Keita Sakai (Guild Sakura): What? Have you all arrived at the sea city? Why am I still on the ship...]

[Zhuang Jing (Organization·Wanli Troop): Ship +1, maybe the players have different birth points. I haven’t found my teammates yet...]

[Wood (unaffiliated): This dungeon is better than the sixth world of the underworld or the open world. There is no need to complete specific tasks. It should be a buffer type dungeon, right? 】

[George (Organization·Yggdrasil Guild): By the way, are we the big guys who have crashed cars? Thousands of people are dungeons. I saw that Minghui had a lot of car crashes in the past. In our dungeon, there are always a few big bosses, right...? 】

As soon as this news came out, countless other messages immediately followed.

The players seemed not to realize the importance of limiting the number of times they could speak, or perhaps they were too excited. They kept scrolling through the news.

As we chatted, it turned into a "top player comparison meeting". Many people were nominating the big players they wanted to meet, and the scene turned into an alternative world forum face-to-face meeting.

At this moment, a message came up.

The person who sent the message was also followed by a bracket that read his world ranking, but unlike other players, the bracket was golden, allowing people to quickly spot it in the black and white text.

[Machichi Yamada (No. 17 in the world rankings): Hmm...]

...Machiichi Yamada.

Su Mingan, who was watching the channel, noticed this message.

Sure enough, it is easy to bump into acquaintances with this kind of copy.

However, fortunately, Yamada Machichi is not a player who has always passed the level perfectly until now, so there is no need to worry about his failure.

[Chen Le (not affiliated): Damn it! The boss appears! 】

[Hetis (Organization·Storm Section): Boss! ! ! 】

[Mom (ranked 9,700 in the world rankings): Boss! Want to try forming a temporary team? I'm on the third floor of the giant ship called Yate, and I have clue and insight skills! 】

[Baker (Organization·United Group): Find a big boss! This dungeon chat channel must be useful. I'll squat down and see if I can still see other bosses hiding in the same parallel dungeon speaking...]

【……】

Su Mingan has been paying attention to this dungeon channel, trying to find news about Lu Shu and others.

It stands to reason that as long as a player of Lu Shu's level speaks, it will inevitably bring news. He does not need to bother to find Lu Shu's statement individually.

However, after looking for a while, he still didn't see the names of Lu Shu and others.

The system message reminded that the team members can form a team channel when they are close to one thousand meters away. Thinking about it this way, Lu Shu and others should not be on this giant ship. Maybe they have already arrived at the sea city at the beginning.

Su Mingan put the channel messages aside for the time being.

He followed the address on the card and the route map hanging on the wall, trying to find his room.

During this period, he carefully browsed some information tips written on the ship.

This ship is called Yate, and the passenger rooms are all inside the cabin. Among them, the upper three floors are the highest-end rooms on the Yate, for the use of nobles, and the lower three floors are lower-level housing for supply. Rich businessmen are people who have money but low social status.

As for the lower level, there are rooms for the crew and civilians.

When Su Mingan passed by the area belonging to civilians, he took a look inside.

People wearing all kinds of rags gathered in the cabin. Fast-paced music was playing, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was heard endlessly. It seemed that some people were hugging each other and dancing wildly.

There was a smell of alcohol in the air and a smell of low-quality cigarettes.

This giant ship divides people's classes very clearly, and it specifically indicates that people in certain rooms can enter which places. People in the next level cannot enter the areas of passengers in the higher level.

Su Mingan turned around, planning to find a way to go upstairs, when he suddenly saw a deck that looked like a small football field.

...It turned out that he had reached the forward deck without knowing it.

In front of his eyes, the deck floor was shining brightly in the sun, which was very dazzling.

The deck area is large and many people gather there.

They were all poor people leaning on the railings, smoking cigarettes. It was unclear how many of them were players. Most of them are tall and thin, with low-quality coarse linen clothes covering their bodies like large torn sacks, and their eyes have a turbid light caused by being squeezed by life.

When Su Ming'an looked at them, the group of people also glanced at him for a moment, and their head turning movements were very uniform, as if they had caught an alien who shouldn't be here.

Their eyes were mixed with jealousy and unkindness, and they seemed to be very dissatisfied with someone of his aristocratic status.

But these people just watched, but did not dare to come forward at all. Some even stepped back a little and whispered to the people next to them.

"...Why did the noble master come here?"

"Don't they think we are dirty people? Some people actually come to this dirty place."

"You must have run to the wrong place. There were a few people running around just now."

Only then did Su Mingan notice that this area seemed to belong to civilians.

He stood in this group of gray and black people, like a bright spot in the gray and black, and was isolated for an instant.

Unkind eyes surrounded him, as if he was not welcome to visit.

He turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly he heard someone calling him softly.

"——Su Lin, why did you come here?"

He looked up at the sound.

The one who called him was a girl standing on the second floor of the cabin, looking down at him.

Her golden hair fell smoothly on her shoulders, and a pair of eyes like the sky and the sea stared at him quietly, as beautiful as gems in the sun.

The feather fan decorated with gems covered her bright red mouth, and the pale yellow dress outlined her snow-white skin. She stood in the bright sunshine, like a blooming tulip.

An information panel popped out when he saw the girl.

[Character name: Saya]

[Identity: The second daughter of the Warren family, Qingmei who grew up with Su Lin.

Due to family pressure, Su Lin had to keep a distance from her family which was declining day by day.

He is intelligent, pure and kind, and has an excellent reputation.

In order to promote the family's prestige, he boarded the Yate on behalf of the family. 】

…

Su Mingan glanced at the girl.

Saya was looking at him gently, her jewel-like eyes rimmed by feathers were particularly bright, like two blue diamonds flowing through the stars.

The salty sea breeze blew her bright blond hair, making it look like flowing sunshine.

"I made the wrong move," he replied.

"Then come up quickly." Saya said softly: "It's getting dark. Go back to your room early. It's not safe on the deck."

...Is it getting dark?

Su Mingan raised his head.

He suddenly discovered that the originally bright sunshine suddenly turned to deep red in color, like the setting sun suddenly rushing up, like a flame burning the blue sky.

In just a few blinks, the sky quickly dimmed.

It was obviously a sunny day just now. Sunshine, waves, clear skies, everything looks as beautiful as a beach vacation.

...Why did it get dark so quickly in the blink of an eye?

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

White light rushed down from the sky like a dragon, it was a giant lightning.

Dark clouds gather.

This is a harbinger of a storm.
