Chapter 6: The Road of Life

William went back to the room in the cabin to rest, because many pirates had been left behind, and the room that had originally housed five people was now only him and Wallon, who had already fallen asleep and snoring loudly, and William was exhausted after a hard day, and threw himself into his hammock, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I don't know how long it took, but the groggy William's consciousness gradually woke up again, and when he opened his eyes, there was an indelible darkness around him, and there was only a light source in front of him.

When he got closer, he found that the light source was actually an intersection, no different from an ordinary country road, and the biggest difference was that in this pitch black environment, there were no lights or torches around, and he didn't know where the light came from to illuminate the intersection.

Directly opposite the direction from which William had come were three wooden signs, each with a path behind it, extending in three different directions without crossing.

William didn't seem too surprised, this strange place, in the first night when the Danton Pirates he was in was pursued by the navy, appeared in a dream, but he didn't care about it when he appeared for the first time, he just thought that it was a day and a night, because he was too worried about the pursuit of the navy, and worried about his identity as a traverser, which led to such a "dream".

But when William reappeared in the exact same place the next night, he finally realized that this was no ordinary dream—there was no reason to be in a similar place two nights in a row, and to be conscious, and to be able to clearly remember what he had "dreamed" the next morning.

William was not an extremely optimistic person, on the contrary, he was a very vigilant person, not only did he realize for the first time that this was a secret that he had to keep in his heart as well as he was a time-traveler, but he also carefully examined and checked what this intersection that only appeared in his dreams was doing.

Because the appearance of this ghost place is the same as his sudden crossing, it is weird and confusing, there is no tour guide, there is no novice guide and the like, if there is something like user evaluation, he will definitely give the lowest score, and he will call to complain, but unfortunately the reality is that he can only combine his experience after crossing, and the clues revealed by the content of the bulletin board, and even explore this place with guesswork.

William came to the first notice board on the left, and when he came closer, he could see clearly, the path behind the notice board was blocked by a thin mist, as long as he was far away, it was difficult to find, he had tried it before, and knew that this fog seemed to be able to disperse with a blow, but in fact the conditions on the notice board must be met, otherwise he would not be able to pass through it with all his strength.

The wooden notice board was covered with stubble, as if it had just been made, and rows of small letters were engraved on it like a knife:

[Desperate counterattack], a true warrior is fearless. You choose to integrate the Denton Pirates, become the new captain, and lead the remnants of the defeated army to defeat the pursuing navy and follow the path of the pirate upstart.

Required: 30 Fragile Threads of Destiny, 20 Tenacious Threads of Destiny, and 1 Unique Thread of Destiny.

Reward: Robust and heroic.

William had already read the contents of the first notice board many times, and his eyes only swept over the words "road" and "reward" that seemed to have deep meanings, and he stayed firmly on the key "need".

This thing should be the requirement to pass through the mist, William had already tried it a few times, and then he skillfully raised his right hand and put it on the notice board, and he could see six thin silk threads emerging from the void, one end connected and converged on the back of his hand, and the other end extended into the darkness.

Three of the silver threads were very fragile, and William just moved his wrist to break the threads, and then slowly connected them under the invisible force, which was obviously the "fragile" thread of fate mentioned on the notice board.

In addition, there is a golden silk thread and two silver silk threads are quite firm, William flicked it lightly twice with his left index finger, and it actually made a clanging sound like a stringed instrument, among which the golden silk thread is not only firm, but also glows with a faint golden light, which is very conspicuous, these should be the "tenacious" line of fate, and the "unique" line of fate.

Each thread of fate should represent a person's fate, and in the process of getting closer to William, their fate is also related to William.

Those three unusually strong and tenacious threads of fate obviously represent Akin, Aramis, and Wallon, the three of them have a very close relationship with William, and they form a solid small group on the ship, which can be said to be a prosperous one.

The other three fragile threads of fate should be William's contacts on the ship these days, and some people who are still close to him and have some recognition for him, but this recognition and closeness are very weak and may disappear at any time.

What made William sigh was that the last time he explored, there were still five fragile threads of fate, and I don't know if it was because two people were thrown on the docks, or for other reasons, in short, two fragile threads disappeared.

The thread of fate faded as William's right hand left the board, and he walked to the second board:

Life is never smooth sailing. You choose to give up senseless resistance and surrender to the navy, and in prison, you may have another adventure and take an unpredictable path.

Need: Find and kill a person with a unique thread of destiny.

Reward: Supporting Character Aura.

The contents of this bulletin board are the key points that corroborate William's speculation about the connection between the thread of fate and people.

Although William watched a few episodes of "One Piece" on and off when he was only in school when he was on TV in his previous life, the details and stories were almost forgotten, but under the influence of the information explosion after the development of the Internet, combined with the bombardment of old memories and various advertisements of pervasive mobile game web games, William still knows some of the characteristic signs of this fantasy world very well, which makes him finally find out where he came after a period of observation after crossing over.

"Onepiece" and "One Piece" are similar to the fantasy world set in the Age of Discovery.

The person with a unique line of destiny should be a character who has a certain role in the original book and occupies a lot of space, referring to Ah Jin, William remembers that he has seen a character with the same appearance characteristics as him in the animation, and his name is also called Ah Jin, and now he connects himself, and the shining thread of fate obviously belongs to him.

William then looked at the last bulletin board:

[Escape from the tiger's mouth], smart people are more cautious. You choose to break away from the Pirates and rechart your path after escaping the Denton Pirates and the Navy.

Requirements: 1 Tough Thread of Destiny, 1 Unique Thread of Destiny.

Bonus: Lightning Reflex.

William stood in front of the last notice board and looked at it for a long time, because it was a new notice board, which confirmed his previous vague suspicion that these so-called "paths" were probably more tangible "choice questions" that appeared with the thoughts and thoughts that vaguely appeared in his mind.

(The cellar scene is just a little easter egg for long-time readers, and it won't appear in subsequent chapters unless there are any accidents, so don't worry about being too servant - maybe it's time to be self-satisfied.) ）

(The existence of the system is to give the protagonist a way to get talent by hard work, I know some readers may have concerns about the system, but in my setting, the system is just to help William, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, to break the ceiling, and will not become a rotten strong propeller, and William will not become a waste who can only rely on the system.) Take the overlord color domineering as an example, this thing is predestined by nature, either fight for the father, or give a system and other things that can be offset by hard work, under the trade-off, I choose the latter. ）
