Chapter 204 Main Quest Completed

The system prompt sounded the moment Feng Bujue unlocked the metal treasure chest with the [Pirate's Golden Key]; the quest in the taskbar, [Go with the Flow, Find and Open the Pirate's Treasure], was also checked off.

"Okay... let's see..." Brother Jue opened the chest with both hands, and read with a happy expression, "Whoa... not bad..." He glanced at it briefly, then raised his head and shouted, "Is this everything?"

"Yes." Dian He Wang replied in a rather depressed tone, "I have moved all the high-quality items in this script that you can take away into this chest... a total of six pieces of equipment, four consumables, one miscellaneous item, and two skill cards." When it came to this, it hesitated slightly before adding, "That miscellaneous item is what I call... 'the ultimate treasure of the pirate world.'"

"Hmm? Is it One Piece?" Feng Bujue said, then lowered his head to rummage in the box.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Dian He Wang replied, "The treasure I'm referring to is..."

"Oh... it's this." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party, and took out from the box—a large silver-plated wine glass.

[Name: Blackbeard's Skull]

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Opens Blackbeard's Treasure]

[Remarks: Some say that after Blackbeard's head was cut off, it circled the *Adventure* many times, and then disappeared forever into the depths of the sea. Others say that Lieutenant Maynard hung the severed head on the bowsprit of the warship and took it back to Virginia. A week later, they boiled Blackbeard's head, wrapped it in silver foil, and made it into a wine glass to be used in taverns. Until one day, a group of people coveting Blackbeard's treasure, but suffering from a lack of clues, set their sights on this silver-plated pirate skull... Soon after, it mysteriously disappeared from the east coast of the United States, and has not been heard from since...]

When Brother Jue picked up the wine glass, he waved his hand to signal his teammates to come and watch, so they all saw the item description.

"Hmm... although the quality is legendary, it feels like... there are a lot of things that are hard to understand..." Buu said after reading it.

Oubu also responded, "Yeah, it says it can open Blackbeard's treasure, but it doesn't say where that treasure is specifically... and I don't really understand the things mentioned in the remarks... what's the *Adventure*, *Lieutenant Maynard*..."

"Hmph... too ignorant!" Feng Bujue suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "You don't even know this basic stuff! Are you even pirates?"

"Sorry! Captain! We've let you down!" Buu and Oubu replied almost in unison, and both showed ashamed expressions.

"Hey—why are you apologizing! You weren't pirates to begin with, right!" Xiao Tan was shocked by the scene, "And... why did the title change from 'Teacher Jue' to 'Captain'!"

"Uh... yeah..." Buu muttered somewhat mechanically.

Oubu reached out and wiped the sweat from his temples, laughing dryly, "Hehe... because Teacher Jue is too imposing, I couldn't help but..."

"Listen up! You guys!" Feng Bujue, on the other hand, still seemed to be in character, and continued the previous topic, speaking in a teaching tone, "Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach... was the villain of villains, the pirate of pirates. From the moment he stepped aboard the *Queen Anne's Revenge*, he became famous throughout the seven seas in less than two years, making people tremble with fear. But... after a brief period of glory came destruction. In the end, Blackbeard was wiped out in an encirclement by two British naval warships... the *Adventure* was the name of the pirate ship he was on before he died, and *Lieutenant Maynard* was the man who led the soldiers to encircle and kill him."

He paused slightly and continued, "Actually, strictly speaking, the real cause of Blackbeard's death was... a hangover. In that battle... if he had been sober enough, the navy wouldn't have had any chance in front of him. Unfortunately... there are no ifs in this world." A hint of regret appeared in his eyes, and he sighed, "After the battle... the soldiers found a total of twenty-five knife wounds and five gunshot wounds on Blackbeard's body... this madman fought to the very end as if he were Dian Wei incarnate."

Speaking of this, he put on a mysterious look, "After the fierce battle, Maynard ordered Blackbeard's head to be cut off and the body thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. From then on, the legend of the head spread... and the more famous versions include the two mentioned in the remarks of this item." He paused, deliberately lowering his voice and continued, "It is said... that the Royal Navy searched Blackbeard's fleet but only found 145 bags of cocoa beans, 11 barrels of wine, 1 barrel of indigo, and 1 package of cotton; no gold, silver, or jewels, and no treasure maps...

With Blackbeard's death, the large amount of treasure he plundered also disappeared. Just like he said in his lifetime—only the devil and I myself can find the location of the treasure."

"Wow~ amazing~" Xiao Tan, Buu, and Oubu all looked at Brother Jue with admiration, nodding and sighing in unison.

At some point, the three of them had sat down... and were sitting around Brother Jue, hugging their knees on the ground.

"Anyone who doesn't know would think we're having a kindergarten class here..." Xiao Ling squinted her eyes, looking at the four male players in front of her with a rather helpless expression.

"Sigh... what kindergarten teacher would tell the children these things..." Ruo Yu shook her head, supporting her forehead.

What she didn't know was... Feng Bujue had volunteered to tell similar stories to some children, of course... the result was that he successfully made it onto the blacklist of many organizations (including law enforcement agencies, social welfare agencies, and some non-profit organizations).

"Is story time over?" At this time, Dian He Wang's voice rang out again, "Mad Detective Feng, I've shown my 'sincerity', shouldn't you express your stance too?"

"Hehe... what's the rush, I still have one thing to ask you." Brother Jue replied with a smile.

"After the transaction is completed, I will naturally tell you everything about 'that orb'." Dian He Wang continued, "But not now... you haven't promised anything yet, how can I..."

"I know~ I know..." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party, "What I want to ask is not that." As he spoke, he winked and gestured to his teammates, signaling them to quickly take out the things in the box and distribute them, "What I want to ask is... after reaching an agreement with you, can we still clear the game?" He spread his hands and said, "You should also be very clear... the main quest we have left, that is, the first main quest of this script—[Find 'My' Bones], is undoubtedly a quest aimed at you and will guide us to eliminate you. If we become one with you, wouldn't that contradict the conditions for clearing the game?"

"You can rest assured about this." Dian He Wang replied, "As long as you follow my instructions next, you can take the 'hidden plot' route to clear the game, and the main quest will change."

"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Feng Bujue raised an eyebrow, "Well then, I'll give up the deal with Zun-ge and form an alliance with you."

"Uh... Teacher Jue, that's too lacking in contract spirit..." Buu, who was standing not far away, couldn't stand it any longer and said bluntly.

"Brother Jue, that's too unprincipled..." Xiao Tan also said.

"What are you babbling about!" Feng Bujue turned his head and winked back, "I'll take responsibility if something happens."

Seeing this, the teammates all understood—Brother Jue had his own plans. So, no one said anything more.

Anyway... if something really happened, it would be Feng Bujue who offended people (the main universe Boss-level NPC). Those Zun and Wang... would also look for him to take revenge.

"Then, let's sign a contract." A few seconds later, Dian He Wang's voice sounded again.

At the same time, a white light flashed, and a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air and fell in front of Brother Jue.

"Huh?" Feng Bujue picked up the paper and muttered, "Is this going to make me transform into a magical girl... or is it going to give me a Geass or something..."

"It's just to put some insurance on our transaction..." Dian He Wang replied, "A minute ago, you could betray Zhuan Xie Zun, and a minute later, you could betray me as well... We are all smart people, I believe... you can understand."
