Evening, Headwind Harbor.

A small boat returning from fishing accidentally picked up three exhausted people at sea.

There were two men and one woman, the first two were almost unconscious, but the only woman was the strongest, holding on to the fisherman Bernie's arm:

"Please...take me to see the lord of Counterwind Port immediately...I will give you a lot of reward...quickly..."

Bernie saw that this woman had a strong physique and calluses on her hands. She looked like a ruthless person who had been holding weapons all year round!

He did not dare to shirk, and drove the boat to the port without caring about unloading the cargo. He hurriedly went to find the knight stationed at the port, and then helped the three of them to the lord marquis's mansion.

When he turned to go out, Bernie already had a heavy money bag in his hand.

He found a corner out of sight, opened the bag and looked at it quietly, and was almost blinded by the reflection inside!

All gold coins!

You know, the average daily income of a low-level fisherman like Bernie is only two or three hundred copper coins, that is, two or three silver coins.

The fifty gold coins in this bag are almost equivalent to the money he could earn by working hard for six or seven years without eating or drinking!

"What are the identities of those three people..."

Bernie hurriedly tightened his money bag and stuffed it into his arms, not daring to stay nearby any longer, and left quickly.

He did not let the windfall go to his head and returned to the port to unload the sea cargo caught today in the boat.

As usual, sell the fish that are not suitable for preservation directly to the port market, and put the remaining fish that are suitable for drying and pickling on the trolley, and push it home.

Bernie tried hard to stay natural, but in the eyes of those familiar with him, he was still a little distracted. He couldn't even remember how he got home...

"Dad is back!"

Only when he heard his daughter Verla's voice did Bernie wake up from the state where his footsteps were floating.

"Today I..."

He was about to talk about his miraculous experience that was not real, but when he saw Liang Xiaohao coming out from behind his daughter, he had to resist his impulse and said hello with a dry smile.

This young man made a good impression on Bernie, but after all, the time they had known each other was too short, so it is not appropriate to say more about the huge sum of fifty gold coins for the time being...

Liang Xiaohao was also in a bad mood and had no intention of asking the old fisherman what he was hiding. He silently took the cart to the backyard and began to help handle the fish.

The bruises on his face and head were aching, proving that Liang Xiaohao's ordeal last night was a real experience.

A whole day passed and he still couldn't quit this "game"!

"After such a long time, has no one discovered the problem with my body? Damn..."

Liang Xiaohao peeled the fish alive while his teeth itched with hatred.

After cursing secretly, I remembered that I no longer lived in the villa at home. I was basically alone in the high-end apartment I currently lived in. There was no round-the-clock housekeeper or nanny.

What's the use of eating, drinking and urinating in the game? If it takes too long, will his real body starve to death?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, and Liang Xiaohao’s movements became heavier and heavier!

"What's wrong with you...does the injury from last night's exercise still hurt?"

Verla saw that something was not right with Liang Xiaohao, and worriedly came over to ask, but was rudely pushed away!

Seeing that she fell to the ground but still looked concerned, Liang Xiaohao's irritable mood was inexplicably relieved a little. He stretched out his hand to help Verla up and said apologetically in a stumbling local dialect:

"I'm sorry, I'm not okay."

Liang Xiaohao finally figured it out. Just because he was making trouble "in the game", there was basically no way to quit.

We can only hope that his real family members will find out that he has lost contact and rush to the apartment to forcibly remove the gaming device...

…

The next day, fisherman Bernie took an unprecedented holiday for himself.

Usually he would go fishing before dawn, but today he rarely slept for an extra hour.

After getting up, she didn’t eat the rough brown bread. Instead, she went out and bought three pieces of cake for breakfast. Verla looked surprised:

"Dad, what kind of special day is today? Why do you need to buy such good food...it's very expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive, it's only fifty copper coins each. It's nothing to eat once in a while!"

Bernie smiled and nonchalantly took a knife to cut the cake into smaller pieces that were easier to eat.

"A fifty..."

Vila was stunned when she heard this.

This is just a breakfast, and it has to consume nearly a whole day’s income of my father?

But seeing that Bernie was in a good mood, Verla didn't ask too many questions so as not to ruin the atmosphere.

"You eat too."

She took the cut plate of small pieces of cake and handed it to Liang Xiaohao next to her.

"...Oh, thank you."

The latter looked absent-minded, picked up the cake with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth with a dull expression.

Another night has passed and no one has noticed his disappearance yet?

In other words, someone outside actually took off the gaming device, but he still couldn't log out?

Liang Xiaohao was worried when he suddenly heard the old fisherman saying words like "war" and "foreign race".

He suddenly shook his head!

Some netizens said before that Liang Xiaohao might have been on some kind of mission when he was hacked to death by gangsters.

Could it be that the current situation of being unable to exit the "game" is also because of what tasks need to be completed to solve it?

He calmed down, put down his plate and asked, "Excuse me, what do you mean by war..."

Liang Xiaohao's local language was still not fluent, and it took Bernie a lot of effort to explain things clearly to him.

When the old fisherman just went to buy cakes, he saw many teams of knights and wizards gathering towards the port.

After asking the well-informed cake shop owner, it seems that the Storm Marines who went on an expedition the day before yesterday are fighting with the alien race. The battle situation is quite troublesome and reinforcements need to be mobilized to help.

The lord Marquis of Adverse Wind Port personally issued an announcement, recruiting sailors and handymen to accompany him, board the ship to assist the army in fighting, and receive a salary of five silver coins per day!

Liang Xiaohao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this a typical special task?

"I want to help fight!"

After leaving these words vaguely, Liang Xiaohao hurriedly stood up and ran out, leaving the fisherman and his daughter looking at each other in astonishment.

They weren't too worried. The Storm Navy had been building up its power for a long time, and if they only served as handymen on the ship, they wouldn't have to participate in the battle.

Nothing will happen to Liang Xiaohao... right?

…

At the port, a luxuriously decorated carriage arrived. The Lord Marquis came down with a warm smile and cordially said hello to the sailors and handymen who came to greet him.

After a while, he returned to the carriage, looked at the blond young man sitting in the main seat, and asked with a respectful expression:

"Your Highness, Third Prince, aren't you going to show up?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"That's not necessary."

The third prince waved his hands indifferently, turned to the female knight Quintina on the left and said:

"You are still very weak, so don't leave Hong Kong for this expedition."

"No, Your Highness, please forgive my stubbornness. The other party is not an enemy that can be easily dealt with. The information I know will definitely work!"

Quintina looked insistent.

Of the three breakout teams, only hers managed to escape, and in the end, only three of them swam back to the offshore alive.

The other two people who woke up after treatment rushed to the capital overnight.
Chapter completed!
