Chapter 31: next task get a share of treasure
He has decided to think of these things after going out of this fantasy world. Also there will be free time for him to think when he is on the ship for at least 3 months.
On the day of the journey Lord Trelawney looked anxious and furious.
The reason for this is last night Vikram went to steal the money and goods of Lord Trelawney.
But he cannot stop the preset journey as it will cost him even more.
So he can only trust his butler to make the investigation with the local guards while he is on a voyage.
The protagonist Jim did not bring his mother.
She was arranged to stay at Lord Trelawney mansion while they were away treasure hunting.
Finally they reached the port where the ship Hispaniola is waiting for them.
It is a schooner with three masts: fore, main, and mizzen.
The estimated crew is around 50 where most of them are pirates.
Vikram met with these people and was introduced to cook silver by the ship's captain Smollet.
Since Vikram has already met with the captain he doesn't have to be formal with him and fit in quickly.
Vikram finally met the most important pirate one legged silver of this Treasure Island story plot.
In the fits meeting silver smiled amiable and said some pleasantries to Vikram before captain Smollet.
But after captain Smollet left them to get familiar with each other as ship's cooks, silver spoke to Vikram.
"You looked quite young for a cook and there is a smell of seaman coming from you.
May I know where you hail from Mister Vicky?"
Vikram smiled and said.
"Mister Silver, my country of origin is India.
You should have heard about the east India Company's recent endowers towards my country right.
I was just an orphan that was able to receive the kindness of some white men to come all the way here.
So it is not strange for me to have the scent of the sea…."
Silver looked deep into the eyes of Vikram with some smile and changed the topic as they moved to the kitchen of the ship.
They checked the storage of the ship to see if all the goods are procured for the voyage.
After they are done checking silver left Vikram saying that he has to take care of some of the crew members that he recruited.
Vikram simply smiled and let him go.
Vikram moved around the ship observing the crew one by one and assessing people between player and pirates.
Vikram was able to successfully mix in with the story line characters so it was very hard to discover Vikram being a player by other players.
The protagonist Jim has became a cabin boy and came close to silver.
On that very day after some initial preparations the ship set off.
As soon as the ship set sail Vikram received a notification from the fantasy system.
"Congratulations on completing the elimination task of boarding the ship.
Rewards 1000 chaos points received."
"Main task updated"
Main task: get a share in the treasure of captain flint
Rewards: the percentage of your share will give you the corresponding rewards at the end of the story completion.
Conditions: take your share of treasure and board back the ship for the return sail.
Only then will your share of the treasure be calculated.
Hints: Player killing is possible and the killer will receive the 100 percent of all the things that the killed player possesses on his body or storage space.
Killer can also receive all of the stats, skills and chaos points of the killed player.
The killed player will not die but will return back to the sanctuary with all of their memories removed.
.......
Vikram skimmed through the new notifications with some astonishment and then he thought of another plan to steal all the treasure for himself.
He wanted to have 100 percent share of all the treasure.
Vikram know the twist of the Treasure Island story where the treasure is not at the location specified by the man.
Instead it is in the cave of Ben Gunn.
Vikram has the image of the Treasure Island in his phone along with the locations of all the important places.
One of them is the location of Ben Gunn's cave.
With that he started to make plan on how to sneak out of the group and get the treasure.
The other players might know that the location of treasure is Ben Gunn's cave but they don't know where that is.
So they have to follow the conventional way of finding the location through story plot.
Here Vikram has the advantage over them.
......…..
Vikram observed the uneasiness in the eyes of captain Smollet.
Vikram know why he is uneasy but he did not point at anything and acted very normally.
The journey was smooth without many problems.
Jim became close to silver over the journey.
The pirates were successfully controlled by silver.
There is time when one of the player who is stupid enough to try and join the pirates but was silenced on a stormy night.
Similarly there is another player that wanted to inform Lord Trelawney and captain Smollet about the pirates and silver's plan.
But he died on the stormy night too along with the other enthusiast before.
With this incident the other players silently closed their mouths and actions...
The journey is smooth and Vikram was able to mix in with both the officials and pirates without much problem like he is a natural.
One day silver found Vikram to talk.
Vikram made sure that there is no one nearby overhearing their conversation.
Silver asked Vikram that if he is actually a pirate too.
Naturally silver is a reserved person and would not leak out some sensitive things except for the charming protagonist Jim.
Vikram smiled and said.
"I have expected that much from your people.
You are pirates.
Well in a way I am a pirate and in a way I am also not a pirate...…..
