Chapter 002: The Plot Begins

The man who had exchanged for the basic vampire lineage smiled slightly, not denying it: "You have only mentioned one thing first; do you have any other thoughts besides that?"

"How about this dagger?" Xu Le ominously placed the newly acquired dagger against the waist of the Westerner, "Kid, has no elder ever taught you not to interrupt others when they are speaking?"

Turan furrowed his brow: "During the rainy season? That could be quite expensive"

The stout man appeared uncertain and hesitant, saying, "Well... I suppose so."

The lighting is dim, and the noise is overwhelming, accompanied by shouts and vulgarities. Men and women here indulge freely.

No, I remember very clearly that Captain Bill Johnson's "Bloody Mary" was simply a contraption consisting of just an engine and a pile of wood. In the movie, it was already a tight squeeze for eight people to get on board, and there was absolutely no way for the five of us to fit on it.

The Western man proudly declared, "We will offer you a satisfactory price, you think..."

"Let's go, it's already started outside." The man led the woman out of the private room, and Xu Le hurriedly followed. The fat man also ran out from the corner, glanced at the long-haired youth who had fainted on the ground, shivered, and quickly followed suit.

"What is going on?" Teran asked lazily after taking a sip of beer

Xu Le looked at them and said, "What should we do?"

Xu Le took a breath and organized his thoughts: "Indeed, I still have a few ideas. Based on our current location, it seems to be the chaotic bar where the adventure team first found Bill Johnson, nicknamed 'Golden Song'"

Following that direction, a typical Korean face appeared before Xu Le, with small eyes and high cheekbones, sporting medium-length hair. Xu Le knew that this was not the Bill Johnson known as "Kim Song," but rather one of his crew members, a member of the eight-person adventure team, named Tran

Xu Le analyzed to the man that he had already noticed that the woman rarely spoke or expressed opinions, except for being delicate and dependent. This man and woman were indeed centered around this man.

Should we take some measures at this time? For instance, should we prepare more weapons and supplies, as well as a more refined ferry and transport ship? Additionally, how should we prepare our identities? We should gain the trust of the adventure team and embark on adventures with them, so that we can protect the lives of Bill Johnson, Shan, Cole, and Jill at any time while following the storyline.

The fat man immediately began to regret, but at this moment he did not dare to say much, only nodding repeatedly: "Alright, alright, as long as you can keep me alive, I will give you all my reward points"

"We will use your ship," a Westerner suddenly stepped between the two and said to Tran

The weapons and supplies are ready, so there is no need to worry about that. The identity task space should also be prepared for us. However, do we need to prepare another ship? Shouldn't we be on the same ship as them?" After hearing Xu Le's words, the man began to think seriously.

The man laughed, raised his hand, and suddenly a pile of items appeared in the empty space of the room, including gold bars, handguns, grenades, daggers, and some food and supplies

I was merely guessing based on an instinctive feeling. Could it be that I actually guessed correctly, and you all have known about this for a long time?" Xu Le asked in surprise, responding with a rhetorical question.

The man glanced at him and smiled maliciously: "Are you really going to follow us?"

The man took back the items and then handed Xu Le a handgun, a grenade, and a dagger: "You will follow us. As for the other two, let them take their chances. If they can make it back, give me 1,000 reward points and all your storyline scrolls. I see you have some potential, so I will give you a chance to survive this time."

The door echoed with a series of knocks, as if someone were at the door

Xu Le nodded slightly. Without discussing anything else, the man's vampire lineage made it impossible for him to negotiate terms. Moreover, he was truly unable to confront any mutated giant python at this moment. To survive, he had to rely on this person for the time being

"Can I also... follow you?" the chubby man, who was huddled in the corner and trembling, asked the man with a quivering voice

If we cannot follow them, protection will inevitably become mere empty talk, and we will have no way to participate in the plot. According to the original development of the film, the four individuals we aim to protect, although they ultimately escaped with their lives, in my view, this time they will definitely all perish. Although it is said that a person's fate is predetermined, this is not the time for us to gamble on luck

The man nodded, indicating that his guess was correct

As Xu Le and his three companions exited the private room, they were confronted with the sight of a dilapidated and degenerate tavern. The man at the front came to a halt and said, "You go and get in touch with Bill Johnson"

Xu Le was indeed somewhat astonished: vampires, mirror worlds, storage rings, I am truly in an all-powerful world now

"Are you Jin Song?" Xu Lemin asked knowingly.

"All of these are inside my space ring. The ring on my hand has its own space and can store up to two cubic units. It cost me 500 reward points, but unfortunately, it is not bound. To bind it, I would need to add a D-level storyline scroll." The man proudly waved his hand at Xu Le, showcasing an antique-style ring on his left hand.

The other three individuals may board the ship, but Bill Johnson is the captain of the "Bloody Mary"; how could he possibly come aboard our vessel? It would be unwise to be overly optimistic about this matter. Furthermore, where are the fifty gold bricks?" Xu Le said to the man.

The attendant pointed to a place: "the diagram and the book over there." What he said was clearly neither Chinese nor English; it was just a mumble. However, Xu Le understood his meaning clearly. Recalling the words he had heard in a half-dreaming state earlier, Xu Le was able to confirm that at least there would be no communication issues with these characters in the plot.

Xu Le opened his eyes wide: "These things..."

"If you can survive, you must give me all your reward points. As for the plot scrolls, it seems you won't be able to obtain them either, so I'll let you off the hook for that." The man said with a sinister smile, his fangs making him look like a man-eating demon.

Xu Le did not know who he was referring to, but after waiting for a moment and seeing that the woman did not move, he confirmed that he was talking about himself. Reflecting on the scene in the movie at this moment, he glanced around at the chaotic situation and called over a waiter wearing a bow tie: "Where is Jin Song?"

The man thought for a moment and said: "Alright, since I have exchanged for fifty gold bricks, this time I will hire another ship and take the opportunity to trick the four people we need to protect—Bill Johnson, Jill, Cole, and Shan—onto our ship. This should not pose any problems."

The expressions of the man and woman changed instantly, and they both became serious: "The plot is about to begin!"
