【As you approach, the surrounding mist seems to begin to swirl around you.】

【You picked up the 'Violator' statue.】

【The Violator statue symbolizes various acts of cruelty and is a collection of the beliefs of those filled with sin. When you offer sacrifices with blood and wails, you will gain some mysterious power.】

【Some unknown existence seems to have cast its gaze upon you.】

Wang Xun had just breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, he seemed to have fallen into another predicament. This thing seemed a bit evil.

Just as he was about to choose to discard it, a new option appeared on the interface.

【You have discovered the mystery of the statue.】

【What are you going to do with it?】

【1. Throw the statue away directly, pretend you didn't find anything, and turn around to leave.】

【2. Use blood to water the 'Violator' statue, and you will receive a 'gift' from a mysterious existence.】

【3. This is a statue related to an evil god. It must not be touched by ordinary people. You should destroy it (this action will trigger unknown consequences)】

Wang Xun looked at the three options, but his heart was immediately drawn to the last one.

As a veteran game enthusiast, he had a great interest in options that might trigger hidden storylines.

"Why not try the third one? It's just one life anyway," Wang Xun thought, and decisively chose the third option.

【Although you knew this action might lead to unknown consequences, curiosity drove you to make the choice.】

【You destroyed the 'Tyrant' statue with the weapon in your hand.】

【You have destroyed the 'Tyrant' statue, and you will be hunted by all who worship 'Tyranny'!】

【Because you destroyed the 'Tyrant' statue, you have gained one strengthening point.】

【You have leveled up: 7】

Along with the level increase, Wang Xun had a completely different feeling from previous level-ups. His body seemed to have undergone some changes.

However, before Wang Xun could carefully feel it, he was drawn to the description in the text.

Strengthening point? Something new!

Wang Xun immediately clicked on the details to check it out.

Simply put, this thing is a good item that can be used to quickly improve the level and proficiency of your various skills.

After reading the description, Wang Xun directly chose to use it.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

【You have used 1 enhancement point, your skill: Wave-Breaking Swordsmanship proficiency has increased, current proficiency level is Minor Accomplishment】

【Your Wave-Breaking Swordsmanship has been upgraded to Minor Accomplishment, you have comprehended the Arcane Art: Stacking Waves】

Jackpot!

Not only did I level up, but I also successfully obtained a new move, and the price was just being chased by the followers of that damn 'Violator'.

The description of that statue doesn't look like anything righteous, it's probably some kind of cancerous cult.

I, Wang Xun, will never coexist with gambling and drugs.

After experiencing the memories of the sword moves that appeared in his mind, Wang Xun's face also showed a joyful expression.

“Good heavens, at this rate, I might really become a sword master~!”

After being excited for a while, Wang Xun's attention returned to the game.

However, this time he didn't find any more events in Ao Port.

Seeing that there was no new content, Wang Xun could only click exit, hoping that tomorrow's voyage would bring him more surprises.

......

Another night passed.

Wang Xun got up early again today.

Today he ran a big circle around the park near his community, the feeling of energy filling his body fascinated him.

Even this level of exercise, far exceeding what he was used to, didn't make him feel tired.

Is this the effect of the game?!

After finishing his morning exercise, Wang Xun jogged home, eager to continue playing the game.

Upstairs, open the door, draw the curtains, and the Age of Exploration begins~!!

【Loading content~】

【You wake up in a small wooden cabin in Ao Port】

【A merchant ship has arrived at the port today, it can take you away from here.】

Wang Xun skillfully controlled his character to the port and clicked 【Depart】.

The current route from Ao Port only shows a place called Saint-Malo. Although he doesn't know what that place is like, it's his only option.

【You board the merchant ship leaving Ao Port.】

【Sailing~！】

【Loading event...】

......

The screen began to display a wooden three-masted sailing ship from the Age of Exploration. The art style was quite good, and the various details could withstand scrutiny.

“Maybe one day I can get my own ship and sail the seas.”

Just as Wang Xun was getting a little bored watching the various scenery that occasionally appeared on the screen, the text finally showed a new change.

【You have spent a comfortable time on the merchant ship, but the sea cannot always be smooth sailing.】

【Clang~ Clang~ Clang】

【The lookout on the mast of the merchant ship rang the alarm bell, he seemed to have discovered some danger.】

【This is a frequently traveled route, and there is usually no danger here, except for pirates.】

【The captain knows of your deeds, and he hopes you can take action.】

【What is your choice?】

【1. There are guards on the merchant ship, they can handle this, it's not worth my effort.】

【2. How dare these little pirates try to rob Jack Drake, prepare to die!】

At the same time, the game's background music also changed, the original melodious sound turned into an exciting drumbeat, accompanied by the sound of artillery fire.

Faced with this sudden event, Wang Xu naturally couldn't back down, he chose the second option from his heart.

【You pick up your weapon and come to the deck.】

【Using the telescope handed over by the sailors, you discover that the flag of the approaching ship seems to be that of the Kuhl Pirates.】

“Yo, isn't this an old friend?”

It seems that this game has many continuous events.

【As the two ships drew closer, iron grappling hooks were hurled over, their sharp barbs digging into the deck.】

【Some impatient pirates even swung directly over from the high masts using ropes, initiating a fierce boarding action.】

The view shifted, zooming in on the entire ship, with vivid character portraits of each pirate.

【A pirate bravely charges towards you.】

【But your sword is faster, leaving a bloody gash across his throat.】

【You have defeated a pirate sailor.】

【Experience points slightly increased.】

【You have obtained a damaged pirate cutlass.】

......

After continuously killing several small fry, Wang Xun also maneuvered his character towards the area where the two ships met, the most intense point of conflict.

After all, the experience points from these 'mobs' were no longer appealing to him.

【A hearty laugh suddenly came from ahead, a pirate wearing a captain's hat was slaughtering the merchant convoy's guards.】

【Attack?】

Wang Xun's eyes lit up as if he had seen a 'player' encountering a BOSS, and he immediately clicked the confirm button without hesitation.
