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

"Welcome to Thriller Paradise!"

A powerful, slightly 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 of triggering side hidden quests and special worldviews.]

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

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

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

At this point in the voice-over, the opening CG began.

The scene opened with churning black clouds, lightning and thunder, howling winds, and towering waves.

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

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

[yoo~hoo~yoo~hoo~]

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

Feng Bujue quickly recognized...that someone was singing (in English).

The singer, with a voice like a broken gong, used a unique vocal quality that sounded like late-stage throat cancer and a slightly tipsy demeanor to sing a song that was wildly uninhibited yet full of 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, the voices of at least dozens of men overlapped, responding: [yo~ho~ho~]

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

The crowd harmonized again: [yee~hee~hee~]

After interacting like this for a couple of lines, the broken gong 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~]:

Subsequently, the solo part of the song ended and immediately transitioned 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!]

Hearing this, Feng Bujue figured that this rather disharmonious song should be about to end…

Unexpectedly, there was more...and those guys were going to pull off a fancy trick.

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

Immediately afterward, the higher-pitched pirates joined in: [yo~ho~ho~]

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

The treble section harmonized again: [trick a lotty do!]

Finally, both 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 that line sung, finally...this rude "Chaos Pirates Song," filled with profanity and a lot of violent and threatening lyrics, was over.

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

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

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

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

[The successive demise of the Four Pillar Gods has caused fluctuations in the Chaos Sea.]

In this second, the real narration finally went online.

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

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

As the narration spoke, 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 blurred, 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. At the moment, 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 treasure he had hidden on the island before...]

The opening CG came to an end. Almost at the instant that the word "treasure" was uttered, Feng Bujue broke away from the "observing state" and immediately gained the ability to move.

However, the situation he faced next was...

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

There was a hole in a wooden plank not far from his face.

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