Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Still a Tier 1 player.

Once you break through to the second tier, your overall strength will continue to rise, allowing you to easily defeat first-tier players as if you were crushing ordinary non-players.

Whoever seizes the initiative will be the first to occupy and plunder the resources of the new world.

Sengoku asked anxiously, "I heard from Jonathan that there are no players in the Ninja World who have broken through to the second tier yet?"

It involves a problem of two worlds.

In particular, the game progress in the Ninja World is slightly ahead of that in the One Piece World, and once a battle breaks out, it can easily become uncontrollable.

"The ninja who was communicating with Jonathan is the leader of a force called [Dawn]."

Recalling what Jonathan had said, Lieutenant General Tsuru said, "From what he said, the ninja world is also full of complex and diverse forces."

"And unlike our world, the Navy and the World Government have absolutely overwhelming military power."

"The ninja world consists of ninja villages of similar strength, which check and balance each other and prevent opposing forces from breaking through to the second rank."

"Whenever a player accepts a Tier 2 quest, it will be sabotaged by the other player."

Hear this,

Sengoku figured it out and asked, "So that's how it is. The leader of the Dawn Force deliberately leaked the information in order to get us in the pirate world to take action and break the stalemate in the ninja world."

Put yourself in their shoes.

If either the leader of the Revolutionary Army or one of the Four Emperors were to attempt to break through to the second tier, the Marine Headquarters would certainly spare no effort to stop them.

If the various forces are mutually restraining each other, it is indeed difficult to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

This stalemate,

It will only waste reward points.

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded and said, "Death Island and Purgatory are unique small maps in the pirate world."

"The new world, Arad Continent, is a large map that can be shared by all worlds."

"The Dawn Forces want to cooperate with the Navy in the form of mercenaries to help their players break through to the second tier."

Introducing external forces is the best way to break the deadlock.

Sengoku nodded, then said seriously, "Pretend to agree to their request first, then extract more information. Before the Navy produces any Tier 2 players, we absolutely cannot allow any player from any world or faction to break through first."

Alliances within the One Piece world must be wary of each other.

Let alone a strange force from another world.

If you completely trust the other person, you will easily be devoured until not even bone fragments are left.

and,

The Warring States period thought things through more deeply.

If the new world, the continent of Arad, could accommodate players from several other worlds fighting together.

Does this mean that these players from another world also have a way to suddenly appear in the One Piece world?

If the strengths are roughly equal, it's fine; mutual wariness allows for negotiation.

But if,

After the pirate world is exposed, it will be invaded by powerful worlds. As the most powerful force in the pirate world, the Navy will definitely be the first to suffer a devastating blow.

This is a world war!

Even Sengoku was a little apprehensive. If things went wrong, he might not just become a sinner of the navy, but a sinner of the world.

Must be treated with caution.

Chapter 266 Leaving the Pirate World

"clear."

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded in agreement, then continued his report: "The number of Contract Fruits is steadily decreasing."

"The navy, which has gathered members with perception-type professions, has formed the [Fruit Harvesting Navy Corps] to roam the four seas and the Grand Line, excavating contract fruits."

To be precise,

It's not that the number of Contract Fruits has decreased, but rather that there have never been many Contract Fruits.

Previously, due to game events, game merchants released Contract Fruits into the East Sea, and no one realized the importance of the Contract Fruits, so they were taken by people at will.

Now, the game merchants have left the East China Sea.

The total amount of Contract Fruits remains the same, but they are randomly distributed throughout the Grand Line and the Four Seas.

As the area expands, the search becomes more difficult.

Furthermore, the global live broadcast of Den Den Mushi has made everyone eagerly anticipate the Contract Fruit, and their first reaction upon obtaining it is to eat it.

This is different from Devil Fruits.

Eating it would turn you into a landlubber, which is a huge drawback, and you have to gamble on whether you eat a useless Devil Fruit.

Some pirates and merchants, after some hesitation, will choose to sell their Devil Fruits.

However, the Contract Fruit allows you to become a player by completing the contract quest. There are no downsides to it. As long as you keep hunting corrupted monsters, you can become stronger. No one is foolish enough to exchange it for money.

Therefore, the difficulty for all factions to search for the fruits of the contract has greatly increased.

“Well done, naval players must maintain their numerical advantage.”

The Warring States period nodded in satisfaction.

Tsuru understands her own thoughts, unlike Garp, whose head is stuffed with snacks and who only knows how to swing his powerful arms to find someone to fight. There's simply no way to communicate with him.

The current number of Navy players is 10,500.

They make up 30% of the One Piece world players.

That sounds like a lot.

However, according to information from the game intelligence department, game merchants distribute three thousand contract fruits every month.

Furthermore, each faction that founded a family can obtain two Contract Fruits every month.

Hunting elite monsters in the Purgatory map also has a chance to drop Contract Fruit fragments.

It won't take long at all.

Naval players will not have the current numerical advantage, and they must take advantage of this time to consolidate the position of the Naval Headquarters in the game.

"And one more thing."

After giving a slight nod, Lieutenant General Tsuru continued, "The lord's equipment used to hunt the Soul Reaper has found its true purpose."

"How about it?"

Warring States period, eyes lit up.

The Navy expended a great deal of resources when hunting down the Soul Reaper.

Although he obtained the purple-quality lord equipment, he has not yet figured out its purpose and simply put it on Smoker temporarily.

It can indeed enhance combat power significantly, but compared to the cost they incur, it's not worth it.

"This item was dropped by a naval vice admiral after he killed a red-haired yaksha."

Lieutenant General Tsuru opened his inventory and traded the dropped item to Sengoku.

[Defense Tower Blueprint (Green)]: After consuming materials, a defense tower is placed within the clan territory, capable of attacking enemies approaching the clan territory.

"Defense tower?"

Sengoku looked surprised and quickly asked, "You mean, the Lord's equipment is the material used to make defensive towers?"

"Yes."

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded and said, "Building defensive towers requires a lot of materials, such as Yin Qi Crystals and Purgatory Flowers, which must be obtained from corrupted monsters."

"Among them, the materials that must be consumed at a fixed rate are the equipment dropped by the Pollution Lord."

"Depending on the attributes of the lord equipment invested, the defensive tower will also have different abilities."

The abilities of the defensive towers are related to the abilities of the Pollution Lord.

Just like the [Soul Reaper Set] obtained by the Navy Headquarters, if it is used to build a defensive tower, there is a high probability that some of the Soul Reaper's skills will appear.

"A defensive tower that can unleash the Corruption Lord's skill?"

Warring States period, even his breathing became rapid.

When we were hunting the Soul Reaper, it didn't seem easy at first.

But the further you progress, the more powerful the Soul Reaper becomes, wielding abilities like the Grip of Fear, the Scythe of Death, and the Burial of Yin. With a mere wave of its hand, it can annihilate thousands of players.

Even top players need to use all their strength to resist.

right now,

With just one defense tower, the Marine Headquarters could gain the ability to corrupt lords?

The Warring States period asked the most crucial question: "How many reward points are needed to build a defensive tower?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru replied, "Three hundred thousand reward points."

This is a conservative estimate. If Revolutionary Army players and Pirate players know the Navy's objectives and forcefully raise the price of materials, it could be even more expensive.

"It's not expensive, let Sakazuki handle it!"

Zhan Guo took a deep breath and said those words with a heavy heart.

300,000 reward points are enough to train a top player, how could it not be expensive?

However, compared to the capabilities of a defensive tower, it is indeed insignificant.

Lieutenant General Tsuru added, "The equipment dropped by Commander-level monsters can also be used as materials to build defensive towers, but they are slightly weaker and not as powerful as Lord-level equipment."

"It's ok."
