Douluo Continent: I Have a Diverse Order-Taking Platform

Chapter 170 Revisiting the Douluo Continent Version of the One Piece Universe (6k) (Please Subscribe)

"Bang""

"I'm exhausted!"

Liu Yuan slammed himself heavily onto the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling.

How many times has this happened?

Never mind, I can't remember.

He had only one thought in his mind right now:

Shopping is so tiring!

Fortunately, if Wang Dong'er hadn't run into Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao in the city along the way, forcing her to end her shopping trip, she would have had to continue, and it wouldn't have been as simple as just a morning and noon.

"well"

He let out a long sigh, as if expressing all his sorrows and worries.

But the thought of Wang Dong'er being dragged back to the academy and lectured by her teacher made him want to laugh again. It seemed the girl hadn't lied, but she had deliberately concealed half the truth—truly a "master"!

"Forget it, let's just ignore her."

Liu Yuan shook his head, putting Wang Dong'er's matter out of his mind. "Let me see what tasks have been refreshed today."

With a thought, the order-taking platform's panel instantly filled the ceiling that Liu Yuan had been looking at.

What first caught Liu Yuan's attention wasn't the tasks that dominated the main page, but rather a reserved area for a task he had crossed out a couple of weeks ago. The original number 1 marker had now been changed to an exclamation mark (!), something that wasn't there yesterday.

In addition, there was another message notification.

hiss-

Liu Yuan frowned slightly, bared his teeth, and couldn't help but wonder: When was this reminder given?

If there were any messages on the platform, there would definitely be a notification sound. It seems I just didn't notice.

Thinking of this, he quickly opened the message area. The first thing he saw was: "[The validity period of the task you saved has changed. Please note.]"

not good!

At this, Liu Yuan's expression changed slightly. The parallel universe this mission required him to travel to was a plane where obtaining faith power was relatively easy. If he missed it due to a change in time, it would be disastrous.

However, since the mission is still ongoing, it means that the situation in that parallel universe has not deteriorated to the point of no return, and hopefully the time will not be reduced too much.

Then, on a whim, he opened the reserved area and saw that the original [Task Four] had been changed.

[Mission Four (Savior Angel): For some unknown reason, the zombies have rioted again. Mingdu is now in imminent danger. Please help us repel the zombie siege and heal the wounded (Valid time: half a month); Reward: Life Design Equation (Unchangeable)]

"What!?"

Liu Yuan, who was still lying in bed, suddenly got up!

At most half a month had passed since he reserved the task. So, this unexpected event reduced the effective time by a month.

If he doesn't take action soon, the next message he receives will probably be that Mingdu has been conquered.

"Good heavens—"

Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but murmur a sentence.

He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to click on the panel. But just as his finger hovered over the panel, about to click, it suddenly froze in mid-air.

It wasn't just because he came to his senses and remembered that he could slide the panel with a thought, but also because he suddenly remembered something.

That is, even though the effective time is very tight, with only half a month left, it shouldn't be so tight that he doesn't even have time to finish reading today's newly refreshed tasks.

Moreover, after doing many tasks, he had a vague feeling that the tasks on this panel seemed to be designed to meet his needs, and there was a deliberate intention behind it.

Since that's the case—

Why not give it a try first and see?

Liu Yuan put down his finger, focused his mind on setting aside the [Task 4] in the reserved area, and turned to look at the tasks that had just refreshed today.

The first batch of tasks was unremarkable;

The second batch of tasks doesn't need much attention;

The third batch of tasks—

The missions kept refreshing, until only one refresh opportunity remained, and none of them satisfied Liu Yuan. After all, what he wanted was a Douluo Continent version of One Piece universe with "God Fruits."

"It seems there aren't any left."

Liu Yuan shook his head.

It's not so much disappointment, because finding a needle in a haystack is extremely rare, so isn't it the same principle to dig out a plane from countless parallel universes?

However, on the other hand, it seems that there is no "shady dealing" on this platform. Otherwise, wouldn't it refresh suitable tasks for itself?

Just as Liu Yuan, who had basically given up hope, was secretly joking, he clicked refresh for the last time.

But when he saw the "freshly baked" new batch of tasks, his eyes suddenly went blank with astonishment. Less than a second later, they turned strange again.

"Good heavens—"

"Now I really suspect you're hiding something—"

This wasn't Liu Yuan spouting nonsense; a task was clearly displayed on the control panel:

[Mission Three (Sinful Bloodline): We were discovered by the Holy Spirit Organization, a subordinate organization of the World Government, for spreading knowledge of Martial Souls. They have joined forces with the Navy to eliminate us. We request your assistance! (Valid Time: One Day); Reward: Half a Ton of Gold (Can Be Changed)]

Tsk tsk tsk—

What do you mean by that?

Just when you're feeling sleepy, a pillow appears?

Although he didn't care about half a ton of gold, the mission that would allow him to travel to that universe was enough to satisfy his needs. As for the divine fruit, he could always find it in that parallel universe himself.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan rubbed his hands together excitedly.

He immediately clicked "Claim," and a nine-colored radiance enveloped him, causing him to disappear from the spot.

On the sea, torrential rain poured down, and the waves it stirred up were like a natural disaster, as if they could overturn everything.

In this extremely extreme situation, a warship, battered by the waves, sped through the sea at an incredible speed, giving the impression of a hasty escape.

And the truth is—

And it is.

-

"Faster! Faster!"

On the aft deck, Xiao Hongchen was urging everyone on desperately!

"We can't go any faster! We've reached our maximum speed!" The crew member's voice was panicked and urgent in the cockpit. But the faint sound of a woman's voice seemed to calm him down.

"Bang"

"Damn it!"

He slammed his fist heavily on the railing, the splashing water flying directly into Xiao Hongchen's eyes. But the faint stinging pain was not enough for him to pay attention to; what he was more concerned about right now was how to shake off those hyenas.

"Quickly check how far those bastards are from us!" Xiao Hongchen slapped the shoulder of the person next to him, urging him on. The torrential rain had already blurred his vision.

Fortunately, one of the members in his team had eyes as his martial soul and had also consumed the Stare-Stare Fruit, making him undoubtedly the best scout.

Just as the investigators were about to observe, "Bang!"

A sound like a collision suddenly came, and everyone on the ship felt their feet sink. Sinking along with them were their hearts.

The warship, which had just been sailing against the wind and waves, suddenly stopped moving and remained stationary.

Xiao Hongchen's heart skipped a beat.

A bad feeling crept into his mind. He didn't care whether the scouts had seen the pursuers behind him; instead, he abruptly turned his head to look at the cabin.

A pretty but anxious figure darted out of the cabin and sped toward the rear deck.

"Brother, things are bad!" Meng Hongchen's face was grim. "We just hit a reef in the sea."

"How's the warship?"

"Although there was no water inside the cabin, the propulsion system was damaged, making it unable to continue sailing." Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Hongchen felt a dryness on his lips, which should have been moist despite the rain.

With the warships unable to sail, it meant they had no way to escape, leaving them with only two remaining options:

First, the pursuers catch up, and they are captured without resistance;

Second, if the pursuers catch up, fight to the death!

As for which one to choose, Xiao Hongchen didn't hesitate at all. His eyes turned fierce. "Prepare. When those hyenas arrive, engage them in close combat!"

"As long as we can kill them, we can seize the warship and continue our voyage!" The more Xiao Hongchen spoke, the louder his voice became, echoing throughout the entire warship. "If we don't resist, then what awaits us is either becoming slaves and being tortured to death!"

It's either you get silenced or you're killed! Which one are you going to choose?

The roar faded the instant it subsided, "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death—"

More than twenty voices, excited and impassioned. And without exception, they were all determined to die!

"good!"

"For the Spirit Hall!"

As the oath was uttered, a look of despair flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.

Even before they abandoned the island and scattered to escape, Xiao Hongchen, or rather, all the members of the ship, had already resolved to die. They knew that faced with the World Government's suppression, their fledgling organization was completely powerless to resist and could only try to preserve their flame.

This also means that someone has to make sacrifices.

In Xiao Hongchen's view, he and his sister, as the founders of the Spirit Hall, were undoubtedly the World Government's number one and number two targets. As long as the two of them were together, the World Government and the Navy would prioritize targeting them with their military forces. In this way, the pressure of escape from other directions could be alleviated.

Moreover, he still has a trump card up his sleeve.

Therefore, compared to the other team leaders, Xiao Hongchen is more confident in his ability to survive. The only question is whether anyone will be interested in that "half a ton of gold."

"I'm sorry, Meng."

Laughing at the world, I am filled with remorse.

Now that things have come to this, the person he feels most sorry for is his own sister.

"Brother, what are you saying?"

Meng Hongchen shook her head. "This was a decision we made together. Why should you feel guilty?"

Just then, "Laugh! They're here!"

The investigator then roared!

"How far are we from that point!?"

"Thirty nautical miles!"

Thirty nautical miles—

Xiao Hongchen did a quick calculation in his mind, "They will catch up in about forty minutes."

"All members, take this opportunity to get yourselves in top condition! Each of you, fulfill your duties and prepare for battle!"

Then, he turned and walked toward the weapons control room.

"Yes!" ×N

Although the warship struck a reef, its weapons remained intact. This was undoubtedly a powerful weapon for Xiao Hongchen, who possessed the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul.

Upon entering the weapons control room, Xiao Hongchen slammed his hands onto the control panel, "Buzz—"

'

The moment the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul possessed him, five soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—rose one by one, circling around his body. At the same time, a strange fluctuation combined with soul power spread from Xiao Hongchen's body, as if golden crystals were flowing from his arms, gradually covering the entire warship and transforming it.

In less than half a minute, all the soul-guided weapons on the warship, contrary to expectations, appeared at the rear of the ship. Huge and menacing cannon barrels emerged from beneath the deck, their targets pointing precisely in the direction they had come from.

This scene was commonplace for everyone. They had seen Xiao Hongchen use this trick more than once.

This is the ability that Xiao Hongchen gained from a divine fruit: the ability to control all inorganic matter and to change and recombine it at will.

This is what he calls the "Fusion Fruit"!

"Whoosh"

For a Soul King, modifying the weapon layout of an entire warship is undoubtedly a major undertaking.

Despite its speed, it consumes a significant amount of soul power and mental energy.

Xiao Hongchen's face was slightly pale, and he was breathing heavily. He was soaked through, but he didn't know whether it was from the rain he had been caught in earlier or from the sweat he had just worked up.

Right now, no one dares to relax. Everyone's heart is in their throat.

With everyone ready, the half hour seemed to pass in the blink of an eye in the tense atmosphere.

"They're here!"

'

On the deck, the scout's voice rang out as he gestured with his right arm in the direction his gaze fell.

As the rain fell, others could not see anything.

But no one would doubt it.

"fire!"

Xiao Hongchen let out a roar. He transferred half of the soul power stored in the warship to the soul-guided weapon equipped on the warship.

In an instant, the menacing cannon barrels lit up with white light.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" All the soul-guided beams poured out at this moment, sweeping across the sky like a sky full of meteors. Until they crashed into the rain curtain in the distance, illuminating that in that direction, there were actually four huge warships arriving.

But soon, I couldn't see anything at all.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The roar of cannons echoed across the sea!

Tragically, when the flames subsided, the four warships emerged unscathed, cutting through the waves and continuing their rapid journey toward Xiao Hongchen.

A comparison of the two warships reveals that the pursuer's warship is like the father, while the one under Xiao Hongchen's feet is more like the son; they are not even in the same league.

"It looks like they've hit a snag."

On the naval warship, an admiral stood on the deck, looking at the now-silent warship with indifferent tone, showing no regard for the recent bombardment. After all, how could a branch's warships, in terms of size and weaponry, compare to those of headquarters?

He immediately ordered, "These rebels have run out of tricks! Full force, attack and capture them!"

"Yes!" ×N

At that moment, a dark figure quietly appeared.

"General Yan, have the orders been given that, of these rebels, the rest are disregarded, but the two ringleaders must be brought to justice, either alive or dead!"

The sinister tone was truly unsettling.

General Yan frowned, displeased, and said, "I know that, you don't need to say more! And—"

He glanced at the shadowy figure. "I am a candidate general. Remember your rank, don't get me called the wrong way!"

As he spoke, he shook off the rank insignia on his shoulder.

"Heh—, let's hope so."

The shadowy figure wasn't going to tolerate him. "If you mess this up, you can forget about staying as a candidate general."

snort-

Yan Houbu snorted coldly and glanced at the guy with disdain.

Although his grandmother was also part of the Holy Spirit Organization, and even its top leader—in fact, his own achievements were largely thanks to her—none of that prevented him from disliking this member of the Holy Spirit Organization. Because compared to this shady dealings, he was determined to climb the ranks through legitimate means within the naval system!

They are far superior to such despicable people.

He stared at the enemy warships that seemed almost within reach, his already restless heart burning even hotter. Capturing just two ringleaders would be a monumental achievement!

As long as he finds a suitable seventh spirit ring, his promotion to general will be a sure thing!

Thinking of this, "Chirp—"

—

A phoenix's loud cry!

A dazzling power of light instantly swept across the sea.

Sensing this unsettling aura, the dark figure quietly disappeared amidst Yan Houbu's disdain.

The next second, Yan Houbu took the lead, rushing out into the torrential rain, shouting, "I'll charge ahead, soldiers follow!"

The act of scrambling for credit and hoarding benefits was presented in a high-sounding manner, but the soldiers were used to it. They had long since become numb to their superior's practices.

Do you know what it means to be:

Does he take credit for everything and avoid making any mistakes?

"Traitor!"

"The heavenly army has arrived! Surrender now!"

Amidst the raging wind and torrential rain, a striking golden light streaked across the dark sky, allowing the scouts to instantly lock onto the approaching figure. When they saw the six spirit rings surrounding the individual—

"Palace Master, it's the Soul Emperor!"

Soul Emperor!?

That must be the leader of this pack of hyenas!

Thoughts raced through Xiao Hongchen's mind, but his hands moved even faster than his thoughts.

With a flick of his hands, all the cannons on the deck turned around and locked onto that golden light.

With the main force approaching, we must find a way to eliminate their top-tier combat power. At the very least, we must severely cripple them. Only then will they have a chance of survival!

As a result, all the stored soul power was drained.

"Boom boom boom"

Amidst the roar, cannon fire erupted in unison.

Seeing this, Yan Houbu's eyes were filled with disdain, and he scoffed, "Stubborn to the end!"

The fifth spirit ring immediately lit up, turning into a dazzling golden light, like stars adorning his body.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The beams of light shot down rapidly, colliding with the warship's cannon fire, transforming into a sky full of light and shadow that enveloped the horizon.

"Chirp—"

Before the flames had even subsided, a resounding phoenix cry suddenly rang out. Enveloped in golden light, and illuminated by his sixth spirit ring, Yan Houbu formed a phantom of a golden phoenix, hurtling down through the torrential rain and flames!

Phoenix strikes through the clouds!

"I'll handle him! You all back off!"

In an instant, Meng Hongchen completed the Martial Soul Possession. With each breath, his wine-red hair turned silver-white, and a chilling aura surged forth as he conjured an ice sword in his hand.

However, upon closer inspection, one can detect a barely perceptible purple line along the spine of the ice sword.

With a backhand slash, "Whoosh—"

'

Seeing the sword energy hurtling towards him, Yan Houbu spread his wings and dodged to the side in an instant. He dared not take Meng Hongchen's sword head-on.

Over the past few years, the Holy Spirit Organization has been relentlessly infiltrating, thoroughly investigating the situation of this rebellious brother and sister. They know exactly what martial spirit they possess and what fruit they consumed. Like Meng Hongchen's Poison-Ice Fruit, the poison comes first, the ice second, but the poison is the key.

In the instant he dodged the sword energy, Yan Houbu's body was instantly engulfed in golden flames. He used his soul power to protect himself and then swooped down, directly onto the deck of the warship. With a flap of his wings, he fiercely slashed at Meng Hongchen.

Those who use poison are most concerned about their surroundings. Right now, the area is full of their own people. I, the candidate, don't believe this female traitor would dare use poison on such a large scale!

And that was indeed the case. At the moment of engagement, Meng Hongchen dared not go all out, fearing that the poison in his body would affect his own people.

The people around wanted to help, but the difference in strength between them was too great, and going forward would only be suicide.

Fortunately, Xiao Hongchen intervened in time, and the brother and sister joined forces to fight Yan Houbu.

However, as time passed, the four warships had already closed in, and at the very moment the two sides completed boarding, "Kill!"

At a single command, the clash of swords erupted.

Xiao Hongchen's Devil Fruit ability activated instantly. Golden crystalline fluid covered the soul-guided cannon barrels and the ship's cabin, transforming it directly into a mecha equipped with soul-guided cannon barrels. With swords, guns, and cannons all fired, it decisively entangled the candidate general.

However, several major generals from the Fifth Ring Army landed on the warship around him, forming an encirclement.

In contrast, Meng Hongchen leaped aboard and boarded the naval warship. Using the effects of the Poison-Ice Fruit in conjunction with her own martial soul, she instantly transformed the torrential rain into poisonous rain. Once it touched the bodies of the naval soldiers, they would immediately collapse from the poison.

Just as she was about to strike, Meng Hongchen suddenly felt her hair stand on end and quickly dodged to the side.

"bite-

A blood-red steel needle was stuck directly into the deck. If it had been firmly embedded, she would have been dead.

At that moment, a dark figure appeared. When Meng Hongchen saw the mark on his mask, a name she deeply loathed escaped her lips!

"The Holy Spirit Organization!"

Seeing the two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings, as well as the several Holy Spirit Organization members who had surrounded him, made Meng Hongchen's heart sink.

On the ships, the sounds of fighting never ceased.

With its superior numbers, the navy inflicted heavy casualties on the team formed by the Hongchen siblings.

At this critical moment, a nine-colored beam of light descended from the sky!

"That's...!" Seeing this incredibly familiar scene, and hearing the "[Received]" voice in his mind, Xiao Hongchen was overjoyed!

"What's going on!?"

Before the naval officers and members of the Holy Spirit Organization could react to what was happening—"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Suddenly, willow branches burst out from the nine-colored pillar of light!

Those with high cultivation levels reacted quickly, but the slower members of the Holy Spirit Organization had their skulls pierced in an instant, dying without even understanding what had happened.

"Who is it!?"

The sudden turn of events left the Navy and the Holy Spirit Organization completely stunned. Just as the candidate admiral was about to question them, a voice suddenly rang out.

"We meet again."
