Chapter 1 Welcome to Thriller Paradise!

Note: The pirate song in this chapter is adapted from the "Somali Pirate Song" from South Park s1307. Any similarity is not coincidental.

"Welcome to Thriller Paradise!"

A powerful, seemingly drunken male voice delivered this opening line.

[Loading complete. You are currently in Treasure Hunt Mode.]

[This mode provides a script introduction and has a chance to trigger side hidden quests and special worldviews.]

[Script completion reward: a portion of the treasure found.]

[Mode additional reward: 300% base completion experience.]

[The script introduction will now play. The game will begin immediately after playback.]

With the voice, the opening CG began.

At the start... black clouds rolled, lightning flashed, the wind howled, and giant waves crashed.

The black sky was like a furious beast; the black sea, like a chaotic abyss.

At this moment, wind, thunder, water, and darkness... these four natural forces, far beyond human power, were mixing together, wantonly ravaging a multi-masted sailing ship sailing on the sea.

[yoo~hoo~yoo~hoo~]

Initially, there were only chaotic and disordered sounds of wind and thunder in the CG, but after a while... faintly, the sound on another track gradually became clearer and louder.

Feng Bujue quickly heard... someone was singing (in English).

The singer, with a gravelly voice, used a unique vocal line, like someone with late-stage throat cancer, and a slightly drunk state, to sing a song full of uninhibited arrogance and masculine energy.

[we drink and we pillage and we do what we please…]

[And we get all we want for free]

[we'll kick your ass, then **** your lass, Chaos pirates we!]

[so with a yo ho ho~]

At this point in the song, the voice paused for a second.

The next second, at least dozens of men's voices overlapped and responded: [yo~ho~ho~]

Then, the voice sang again: [and with yee hee hee~]

The crowd echoed: [yee~hee~hee~]

After interacting like this for two lines, the gravelly voice sang: [we take to the chaos sea!]

[we'll brave the squalls, And bust your balls, Chaos pirates we!]

Here, the crowd joined in again: [Chaos pirates we~]

After that, the solo part of the song ended, and it immediately turned into a chorus...

[we left our homes and we left our mudders to go on a pillaging spree~]

[we'll cut off your ears and break your toes and make you drink our pee~]

[And if ye sail into our waters you best hear this decree~]

[we'll take your boat, And set yer ass afloat, Chaos pirates we!]

Feng Bujue heard this and felt that this rather discordant song should be coming to an end...

Unexpectedly, there was more... and those guys were going to play a trick.

Two seconds later, he only heard the lower-pitched pirates sing: [so with a yo~ho~ho~]

Immediately afterward, the mid-to-high-pitched pirates joined in: [yo~ho~ho~]

The bass sang again: [And a trick a lotty do~]

The treble echoed: [trick a lotty do!]

Finally, the two sides sang together again: [we'll shoot you in the face with glee, then we'll cut off your cock and feed it to a Croco, Chaos pirates we!]

With this sentence sung, finally... this rude "Chaos Pirates Song," filled with swear words and a lot of violent and intimidating lyrics, was over.

Unconsciously, the camera had also zoomed in from a long shot to a close-up...

Just now, along with the pirates' singing, the CG screen was also gradually moving closer; a long shot of the pirates "fighting" with the waves at sea was staged very naturally in the singing and ended with the end of the song.

When the last note fell, the camera just passed through the door of the captain's room and stayed on a man.

This man in the black captain's uniform looked to be in his early forties, with a thick beard, and his face was fierce; although his physique did not look particularly burly, and he was not very tall, he always gave people a "powerful" feeling... as if no matter how tall and strong an opponent was, he would be vulnerable in front of him.

[The successive deaths of the Four Pillar Gods have caused fluctuations in the Chaos Sea.]

In this second, the real narration finally went online.

[The legendary pirate, Blackbeard, who should have stayed in "death" for longer... has returned to this turbulent world ahead of time.]

[Now, he has retrieved his "Queen Anne's Revenge" and, leading a large number of newly recruited crew members and a few old subordinates, has embarked on a journey.]

As the narration said this, the camera moved to the table in front of Blackbeard.

At this time, a nautical chart was spread out on the table. The paper of the chart was already yellowed, and the handwriting on it was very blurry, but it was still possible to see various outlines and some obvious markings.

[Pirates are free, but freedom does not mean recklessness.]

[The great Blackbeard has already formulated a complete plan for his future journey. Right now, he needs to go to a place called Jumo Island to find a very important old subordinate; at the same time, he also needs to retrieve a sum of money he used to hide on the island...]

The opening CG ended there. Almost the moment the word "treasure" was spoken, Feng Bujue broke away from the "observation state" and immediately gained the ability to act.

However, the situation he faced next was...

"Well... this 'safe zone' after entering the game is a bit narrow..." It only took Brother Jue five seconds to determine one thing—he was hiding in a wooden wine barrel.

Not far from his face, on a wooden board, there was a hole.

Before long, Feng Bujue saw a pirate who looked like cannon fodder through the hole; he saw... that guy, with a drunken, silly smile on his face, staggering step by step towards his "wine barrel"...
