The smell of the sea breeze blows waves, and ferries loaded with food, fresh water, and medicine sail smoothly.

Raul, the captain of the ferry, stood in the wheelhouse somewhat absent-mindedly, letting his first mate steer the boat.

From time to time, his eyes looked at the cubicle outside the cab.

There, it used to be his captain's quarters.

But now he gave it to someone else.

Willingly.

Without the slightest compulsion.

Because, he knew very well why these people were on his ship!

Raul shuddered at the thought that these people were going to the island to solve that particular kind of trouble.

As a man who lives at sea, Raul has seen so many things that cannot be explained by science.

Therefore, he has a sense of awe for some things, things.

Naturally, there are people who solve these things and things.

……

"Ferry? What a nostalgic means of transportation! ”

A muscular man with a cigar in his mouth and shirtless, baring his muscles, leaned against a man-tall backpack and grinned.

And this was the first person Qin Ran saw and heard after the weightlessness and strong light disappeared.

Qin Ran looked around without a trace.

The sound of the waves, the waves clearly visible outside the window, all indicate that he is on a boat.

And in the not spacious room in front of him, the people crowded were his teammates this time.

Except for the strong man who spoke first, the remaining four people also had extremely obvious characteristics - although all of them had some changes and concealments, some features could not be concealed.

Standing directly opposite Qin Ran was a gorgeously dressed young man with a slightly pale face who also maintained his so-called 'demeanor' while sitting there.

Beside the young man, there were two heavily armed and sturdy men, standing there straight, with solemn faces and vigilant expressions, especially the half-human-high shields that both of them were carrying, which attracted Qin Ran's attention.

The position of the two is obviously to protect the gorgeously dressed young man at all times.

Therefore, the identities of the three are naturally obvious.

The youngster, who was dressed in a fancy attire, was supposed to be the employer this time: Steinbeck.

The remaining two should be the No. 1 who served as each other's spokesperson before, and the remaining one is No. 2.

As for the identities of the two?

A concise nickname and a gesture of protection at all times.

Except for the bodyguards, Qin Ran couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Next to the three of them, standing was a lean, powerful, well-proportioned, ordinary-looking young man.

This person obviously noticed Qin Ran's scrutiny, and immediately showed a simple smile, looking very honest, but Qin Ran noticed that the other party's eyes were dark.

It's definitely not as harmless to humans and animals as it appears.

"If it's not for special skills!"

"So...... Perception is at least D! ”

Qin Ran had already tried his best to look at it from the corner of his eye, but he was still discovered by the other party.

It is enough to prove that the other party is extraordinary.

At least much stronger than the three people next to the other party.

Even if one of them goes through the quest more times than the other, the remaining two are fully armed.

Well, the remaining two...... Who is lawless?

After excluding the three of them, Qin Ran's gaze scanned between the shirtless strong man with a cigar in his mouth and the ordinary-looking young man.

This time, Qin Ran was not hiding his gaze.

The people present could easily see Qin Ran's gaze.

With Qin Ran's understanding of lawlessness, that guy would definitely take the initiative to stand up.

And the facts are just as Qin Ran guessed.

The next moment-

"I'm the captain this time, lawless!"

"This is my eighth copy!"

“2567？”

The shirtless strong man with a cigar in his mouth stepped forward and looked at Qin Ran, a bold smile appeared on his rough face.

"Hmmm! 2567, the second copy! ”

Qin Ran smiled and nodded.

The shirtless strong man was lawless, which did not surprise Qin Ran, in fact, after the other party was the first to speak, Qin Ran was inclined to the other party to be lawless, because this was too consistent with Qin Ran's impression of the other party's 'chatter'.

"2567, you're younger than you think!"

"The strength is also stronger than I imagined!"

"The craftsman keeps saying you're lucky!"

"I hope this time will bring me good luck!"

"What I lack most is luck!"

The next moment, the other party's words made Qin Ran confirm it even more.

The other party is just lawless, even if the face is rough, tall and strong.

"I'm Zhang Wei, and this is my fourth copy!"

The young man who looked very honest followed closely after the lawless words and introduced himself.

"Number 1! Third copy"

"Number 2! Second copy"

"I'm Steinbeck, and this is my fifth copy, please!"

Then, the remaining three introduced themselves in turn.

When it was Steinbeck's turn, the flamboyantly dressed employer stood up, his legs straight, his upper body slightly bent, but at an angle of no more than 20 degrees, meticulous but undeliberate, and personable.

And this simple, seemingly casual etiquette once again shows that the other party has an extraordinary background.

"Steinbeck, we're all about collecting money!"

"No need to be so polite!"

Obviously, it was not the first time that Steinbeck had been hired by Lawlessness to say directly......

"I'm used to this kind of etiquette!"

"Estimated...... I can't change it in this life! ”

Steinbeck shook his head with a wry smile.

Faced with the wry smile of his employer, Lawless shrugged his shoulders.

Everyone's personality is different.

The so-called persistence is also different.

Lawlessness didn't change Steinbeck's mind.

Let's not mention that the two are simply employers and mercenaries.

Even if it is a friend, lawlessness will approve of a friend's choice.

"Ahem!"

Lawless coughed lightly, attracting the attention of everyone present, and began to ask as the captain, "What do you think of this mission?" ”

Suddenly, everyone's faces were solemn.

The adjective 'extremely abnormal phenomenon' not only brought Qin Ran a bad association.

The same goes for everyone else.

"I, No. 1, and No. 2 are completely incapable of dealing with 'extremely anomalous phenomena'!"

Steinbeck first acknowledged his side's shortcomings.

"If it's a monster with a physical body, I can use all my strength!"

"But if it's a ghost or something, I can deal with ordinary ghosts, but I can't do anything about ghosts!"

Zhang Wei did not hide his ability and tendencies.

However, the specific data will not be spoken.

"What about 2567?"

Lawless looked at Qin Ran.

"My combat ability is relatively balanced, I can deal with both physical and non-physical ones! But it can't deal with too powerful! ”

Qin Ran half-truthfully said his ability and tendency.

After all, the people present, except for lawlessness, were all something that Qin Ran couldn't trust.

What's more, Qin Ran didn't believe that everyone else had also told the truth.

At least, Steinbeck didn't!

With the other party's 'financial resources', when entering such a copy, it is inevitable to take into account various extreme situations, and it is impossible not to be unprepared.

However, even such half-truths and half-truths attracted the attention of all players present except lawlessness.

"It's worthy of being introduced by the 'broker', even the extent of the second copy is impossible to underestimate!"

Steinbeck sighed.

Zhang Wei on the side was also shocked.

However, there is not the slightest doubt.

Because, before entering this team, he knew that this team was organized by 'brokers'.

The gold-lettered signboard of 'broker' is convincing enough.

What's more, there was also lawlessness on the side that seemed to be familiar with Qin Ran.

For the latter's reputation among veteran players, Zhang Wei has more trust.

He believes that Lawlessness will not form a friendship with someone who lies at a critical moment in the mission.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Lawless spoke again.

"On the premise of the fourth dungeon, as long as a special side quest is not triggered, whether it is a monster with a substance, or a ghost without a substance, I can easily deal with it!"

Lawless words carry the meaning of all-encompassing.

However, no one objected.

The other party who was able to survive seven copies had such confidence.

And Qin Ran's keen perception found that after the assurance of lawlessness, Steinbeck breathed a sigh of relief, and his slightly pale face also appeared a touch of blood.

"Steinbeck's pale face before was because he was afraid?"

Qin Ran couldn't help but be stunned.

He was somewhat surprised by his guess.

However, until there is more evidence, Qin Ran will not make a conclusion.

Compared with Steinbeck's relief, Zhang Wei was eager to try.

Obviously, Zhang Wei will definitely not be satisfied with a main quest.

Similarly, the same is true for Qin Ran.

Even, more thorough than Zhang Wei.

What he hoped for was to at least encounter monsters like the giant crocodile Pruss in the previous dungeon!

Only monsters of this level can get considerable loot!

Lawless looked at the expressions of Qin Ran and Zhang Wei and grinned.

"According to the rules of the temporary team, you don't expect me to wipe your ass!"

"Except for the main quest, I will only complete my side quests and get my share!"

"You're all the same - whoever gives gets what you get!"

He reminded the two of them very seriously.

"As it should be!"

Qin Ran replied very dryly.

Qin Ran never had the idea of counting on the other party's help.

Because Qin Ran didn't want to owe anyone favors.

How difficult it is to repay the debt of favors, Qin Ran has long been clear.

"I'm okay with that!"

Zhang Wei shrugged.

"Very well, then the first thing we need to do now is to determine the extent of the 'extremely abnormal phenomenon'!"

Lawless nodded in satisfaction and pointed out of the room.

Although they couldn't see, the hearing of several people could clearly distinguish the voices outside.

"My art of speaking, the aborigines can't understand it at all!"

"It's up to you!"

Lawless behaved in annoyance, and then looked at the rest of the people.

"It's good for me to stay here!"

Steinbeck said.

Naturally, the two bodyguards would not say anything against it.

After removing the three more, among the players present, only Qin Ran and Zhang Wei remained.

Qin Ran looked at Zhang Wei, and the latter's gaze also looked at Qin Ran at the same time.

Both sides refused to back down from the eyes of the other.

After all, communication with the aborigines, in addition to understanding information, is more about triggering side quests.

For side quests that can improve your rating.

No one will give up!

Even if it's just a possibility!

Immediately, in the cramped captain's room, there was a hint of gunpowder.
