Chapter 462 - THE ANGRY CAPTAIN ROGER (1/2)
THE players on the deck knew who Noctis was. With his very prominent appearance, they were sure that they didn't see him amongst the players who fought with the mermaids. And what's up with that other one? That Amazing-something. Although they didn't know who he was, anyone who heard that game account name wouldn't think of a serious player.
So, how come those two suddenly got the reward for this trial?
Captain Roger was still standing at the highest point of the ship. Some players could no longer help it and proceeded on expressing their dissatisfaction with this NPC's decision.
”Excuse me, Captain? May I ask what's your criteria in giving the rewards to the two that you just mentioned?”
With one leading the way, a lot more became emboldened. They started to think that maybe being the one who did most of the work in a 'trial' was not the criteria of this NPC to pick whoever gets the reward. What if he really just based it on whoever was the most entertaining? Then wouldn't that mean that their efforts just now were all in vain? Just thinking of that made them angry. Not just at this weird NPC but also to those two who gained a reward without doing anything.
”That's right! We're the ones who killed those mermaids. Isn't it more appropriate to give the reward to one of us?”
”Giving rewards to those who didn't do anything, isn't that a bit unfair?”
”I agree! Please, reconsider!”
Captain Roger nodded. ”Hmm… I see. So, you bastards are now questioning my judgment, is that it?”
The careless grin that the captain always had disappeared. Then he looked at those players who just voiced their dissatisfaction like he was looking at a group of insects. He snapped his fingers and those players instantly turned into light particles.
”Remember this, you bastards. This is my ship. As long as you're in my ship, my word is the law. And you questioning my word meant that you're questioning the law. Those who question the law are not welcome on my ship,” the captain said coldly while looking down on all the players on the deck. His voice was not only heard by the players on the deck but everyone on the ship.
After that, he grinned like nothing happened.
”Oh, I think I have to change the number count now.” Captain Roger cleared his throat. ”Congratulation again to the remaining 1,674 for surviving. We're near Four-Seasons Island. So, continue to survive until then.”
And with that, the captain disappeared again.
The players on the deck remained silent, afraid that if they even uttered a word of complaint, they would be disqualified like those four players earlier. But even if they couldn't, that didn't mean that they were fine with it. So, all this dissatisfaction was transferred full force to Noctis and the other one with the weird game account name.
Of course, there were still some who perfectly understood the situation. Those complaining players might have forgotten the huge ice berg that the ship almost ran into, but they didn't. The ship didn't collide with that iceberg because it managed to swerve just on the right moment. Which meant someone did something for the ship to avoid the iceberg. And that someone might as well be those two who received the rewards.
