Chapter 273: Fishers Village KP Green Light continued, "Of course, this module is a bit different from the usual ones. It has many side quests, and some offer rewards greater than the main quest. But as you players know, these side quests are quite challenging, especially when they overlap with the main questit's almost as tough as the main quest in the Cthulhu region." "Now, let's officially enter the introductory plot of this module. All players are currently en route to Fisher's Village via various means of transport. Once there, you'll rely on your skills. However, I must remind you to be careful with your personal belongings." Liu Xing nodded silently. The module was as he expected. A secluded village like Fisher's Village was bound to hide many secrets, possibly triggering a side quest with the slightest action. KP Green Light mentioned personal items, and now Liu Xing was a bit panicked. His belongings included a ceremonial dagger, a peculiar Deep One statue, and his sensitive identity as 'Watanabe Ryusei.' He feared that using public transport might lead him straight to police questioning. At that moment, Liu Xing officially entered the module. Upon opening his eyes, he found himself on a small cruise ship. According to 'Watanabe Ryusei's' memory, Fisher's Village was on a remote island in the southern part of the Island Nation. The local government, to save costs, arranged only this small ship to service the route once every seven days, arriving at Fisher's Village around six in the evening. In short, this small cruise was the only way players could leave Fisher's Village unless they could swim for over ten hours to the nearest inhabited island. So, although the main quest was merely to ensure Dogo Aige's wedding goes smoothly, Liu Xing guessed the real challenge was leaving the island on this ship. Liu Xing gazed at the sea, disheartened to recall from 'Watanabe Ryusei's' memory that he couldn't swim, making him feel trapped on this lonely island. Then, he heard a familiar voice, "Leader, what are you doing here?!" Turning around, he saw Ling Ishikawa. In 'Watanabe Ryusei's' memory, after Morimoto Academy was indefinitely closed, Ling Ishikawa and others went home. 'Watanabe Ryusei' even gave his followers a break and planned to establish a company in March to employ them, a form of "whitewashing." So for Dogo Aige's wedding, 'Watanabe Ryusei' went alone, without informing Ling Ishikawa. Pretending to be surprised, Liu Xing said, "Ling Ishikawa, what brings you here? This ship only goes to Fisher's Village. Are you also attending Dogo Aige's wedding?" Ling Ishikawa, equally surprised, replied, "Yes, Dogo Aige was my English teacher in middle school. He said he's the son of a chieftain from an African tribe. I was the English class representative, so we were close. He invited me to his wedding." Liu Xing was intrigued. Dogo Aige was African? He felt the module's author had some malice towards Dogo Aige. After chatting with Ling Ishikawa, Liu Xing surveyed the other passengers. It was a five-player module, and besides Liu Xing and Yin En, there should be three others. Surprisingly, he saw only one young man engrossed in his phone. This meant at least two players had arrived by other means. Since the young man seemed uninterested in interacting, Liu Xing chatted idly with Ling Ishikawa until they reached Fisher's Village. "Before you came, three of my friends had already arrived. I picked them up in my fishing boat. They're probably resting in their rooms. Ling Ishikawa, you and your friends can pick a room, settle in, and come down for dinner." Three friends? That meant the young man with the phone might indeed have been just a crew member, as Dogo Aige suggested. Liu Xing had more questions for Dogo Aige, but after speaking, Dogo Aige left. Liu Xing could only shake his head and follow Ling Ishikawa upstairs. The second floor had five rooms, three marked as vacant, indicating another player chose to stay on the third floor as the first floor had no rooms. Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa picked adjacent rooms for mutual support. The room's decor was impressive, akin to a five-star presidential suite, but notably lacked any modern amenities like air conditioning, television, or computers. Liu Xing checked his phone and, as expected, found no signal. Sighing, he realized Fisher's Village was essentially a large private room, a module designed to cut off all outside contact. Leaving his room, Liu Xing saw a bewildered Ling Ishikawa. "Leader, there's definitely something off about Fisher's Village. I've seen no modern items, and there's no mobile signal." Liu Xing nodded, "Exactly. Since Dogo Aige shared about Fisher's Village, I suspected something was amiss. Now, I'm sure of it, and it likely involves our old friends, the Deep Sea Gospel Society." "Ah," Ling Ishikawa feigned surprise. "Just the name Fisher's Village hints at a connection to the Deep Sea Gospel Society. But aren't we walking into a trap?" Liu Xing replied, "Let's wait and see. If the Deep Sea Gospel Society wanted us, we wouldn't be here now. It's probably just a coincidence, no need for undue worry." With that, they headed to the first-floor hall, where Dogo Aige had prepared a lavish dinner. Liu Xing noticed two familiar figuresZhang Jingxu and Lu Tianya. He wasn't surprised, considering the limited pool of players in the Island Nation. It's tricky to assemble a module's players, considering their locations, occupations, and previous module experiences. You wouldn't suddenly send a tribal illiterate from Africa to Area 51 in the United States to study future technology. However, seeing Lu Tianya with Zhang Jingxu was unexpected. As Zhang Jingxu saw Liu Xing, his composure wavered, and Lu Tianya turned red and looked away. Liu Xing chuckled and addressed them, "What a small world! I didn't expect you two to be friends with Dogo Aige as well. We must be fated to meet." Regaining his calm, Zhang Jingxu replied, "Indeed, it seems we're destined to cross paths. But I believe, Ryusei, you've noticed something by now." Liu Xing nodded, understanding without words.
