Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 379 Navy Headquarters: Give Me Five High-Level Pets

"Everyone, what are your thoughts on the announcement issued by the game merchants?"

Naval Headquarters

Marshal Zhan Guo sat at the head of the table, surveying the conference hall. His expression was serious as he asked, "Are there any differences between pet eggs and the contracted battle pets of hunters and summoners?"

These two items are easily associated with each other.

Staff Officer He, from the department in charge of game intelligence, nodded slightly and said, "It can be said that pet eggs and contracted battle pets are completely different things."

"Contracted battle pets and summoned beasts are both skills of the player, allowing them to contract with or summon a monster to fight."

"And based on our analysis of the pet inventory information, the pet egg seems more like a type of living equipment!"

Living equipment?

Sengoku listened with some confusion, as did the high-ranking naval commanders present, who all cast puzzled glances at him.

Staff Officer He nodded and said, "Game pets are strongly related to the player's own attributes."

"Each time you level up, your pet will gain 10 potential points, which can be allocated to its four main attributes. The stronger the pet's four main attributes, the more they will boost the player's own attributes at a ratio of 10 to 1."

The Warring States period and others suddenly realized,

So this is what [living equipment] means?

Shock followed immediately.

If that's the case, a game pet that can continuously level up could provide players with dozens of points in four-dimensional attributes.

Furthermore, I've heard that game pets can unleash [Master Pet Fusion Skills] and also possess advanced skills.

The difference in combat power between a player without a pet and a player with a pet will be infinitely widened.

After calculating the combined values,

The importance of game pets far exceeds the difference in a piece of equipment.

"And that's not all..."

Staff Officer He sighed and said helplessly, "The potential points a game pet gains each time it levels up are related to its [comprehension]. Game pets with higher comprehension can gain 20 or even 30 potential points each time they level up."

The Warring States period was immediately taken aback.

Is the enhancement effect of a game pet on a player almost comparable to that of a full set of armor?

"Therefore, hatching game pets is an inevitable trend in the future."

Smoker, the Poison Dragon, nodded slightly and said, "Just like at the beginning of the Reincarnation Game, everyone followed their usual habits, pursuing powerful skills and ignoring the importance of equipment. As a result, they were defeated by players who had taken the initiative to use set equipment first."

In the world of One Piece, skill-based systems like Devil Fruits and the three types of Haki are the mainstream.

Even sword masters strive to cultivate their domineering aura and slashing techniques. While a supreme grade sword is very powerful, frankly speaking, it doesn't offer much help to a strong person.

Therefore,

Everyone ignored the ability to enhance equipment and focused solely on improving skills.

As a result, many One Piece players with basic equipment and scattered gear often find themselves in one-sided battles when they encounter Ninja players.

It took a great deal of effort to make up for this gap.

no way,

This is the limitation of this world. If it were the world of Teigu, a Teigu user like Esdeath would easily understand the importance of equipment.

To them,

Just like Imperial Arms, the equipment is also a manifestation of extraordinary power.

"If possible, I'd like to give each of the four Marine Admirals—Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, and Chokuden—as well as the Marine Iron Fist Hero, a high-aptitude [Zombie Baby]. Does anyone have any objections?"

The Warring States marshal also knew that

Now is not the time to save money. Every time the game is updated or a new game announcement is issued, players should try their best to keep up.

We must not fall behind; otherwise, it will only cost us more to make up for it later.

I second that.

"agree."

Most of the high-ranking naval officers in the council, including Vice Admiral Jonathan who had already agreed to surrender, were in favor of the proposal.

The current Naval Headquarters Alliance,

Without the support of the World Government's vast assets plundered from the world, we rely on the funds of the branch fortress commanders present here.

These fortresses are scattered across the seas, like regional governors who control local finances, and are all included in the naval alliance.

Therefore, the Warring States period could not be like before, where one person could have absolute power.

The opinions of the commanders must be sought.

"The navy's core strength is the strongest among all forces in the entire cycle game; what we lack is top-tier combat power."

Jonathan is very quick-witted and skilled in strategy.

The Navy's rapid growth after breaking away from the World Government was inseparable from his advice. He suggested, "Not only should each of the five Navy members be given a pet, but the reward points consumed in the subsequent hatching and training should also come from the Navy Alliance's treasury."

"However, a contract must be signed. If the five betray the Navy or lose their combat capabilities, these pets will be taken back by the Navy Alliance and redistributed to those in need."

That is,

The general only has the right to use these five game pets; he has no right to buy, sell, or own them. They all belong to the Navy Alliance.

In this case,

The naval alliance can spare no effort to strengthen pets and form combat power as quickly as possible.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku did not object. He looked at Akainu and the others, and said that the suggestion was not excessive and was very suitable for the current Navy.

Akainu and the others all shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's pass the resolution in the council and begin discussing [the game village]..."

"Wait, Sengoku, don't oversimplify things!"

Sengoku's words were interrupted by Advisor Tsuru, who, as the head of the intelligence department, had carefully studied the detailed information in the pet section.

Advisor Crane said, "High-level game pets cannot be purchased directly."

"Only after fusing two hundred pet fragments into a pet egg and hatching it can the quality of the [Zombie Baby] be observed."

"From F-grade quality all the way to SSR-grade quality, the higher the quality of the zombie baby, the stronger its comprehension."

"Everything is completely random."

"Furthermore, even if a high-quality zombie baby is hatched, it will still require countless reward points to feed it until the zombie baby reaches [mature stage] before it will develop various attributes."

"It's also completely random."

At this point, Staff Officer Tsuru stopped talking. Judging from the expressions of Marshal Sengoku and Commander Jonathan, they must have understood.

Sengoku's expression was extremely grim. He asked uncertainly, "So, to get a high-quality zombie baby with compatible attributes, we need at least dozens of pet eggs to select one?"

"Dozens?"

Jonathan gave a wry smile; his mind was very sharp.

It was quickly concluded that the dozens of pet eggs were probably just an appetizer...

A pet egg costs 500,000 reward points. If you want to get a high-level pet by buying pet fragments, you probably wouldn't be able to get one even if you sold the entire Navy Alliance.

In other words, they suffered because they had never played pay-to-win online games.

If someone wants a high-level pet, they have to spend hundreds or even thousands of pet eggs to get it.

Even so, Fang Yi had already been very restrained, only bringing up two random attributes: [Quality] and [Attribute].

If it were to be like those exploitative online games, introducing random attributes like [personality], [talent], and [specialization], then...

Players are truly going to sell everything they own.

Fang Yi understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad. Chives should be harvested in batches; if you cut too deep, you might kill the chive seedlings.
