Chapter 383 Luffy: Can you think of a way? I want a pet!

[The Ghost Stories of Qing Kingdom] World,

In dozens of large towns, countless outsiders inexplicably appeared.

The locals, already tormented by the zombie cholera outbreak and on edge, were initially terrified and panicked, thinking it was a rebellious group of rebels and bandits.

did not expect,

They had no interest whatsoever in the unarmed locals.

Instead, they recklessly charged out of the thick city walls, returning each time laden with the remains of zombies, a truly terrifying sight.

"I'm going to report them!"

Just as Luffy, wearing a straw hat, casually gave some steamed buns from his pocket to a beggar on the roadside.

The system prompted that

He gained enough goodwill in the town to trigger the beggar's hidden quest.

The Jiang family, residing in the north of the city, is a renowned gentry and powerful clan skilled in wax figure making. However, faint, guttural growls of zombies can often be heard emanating from their grand mansion at night.

Reward: None

Note: This is just a rumor spread by an unknown beggar. Offending the wealthy households in the city rashly may lower the town's favorability.

"Is this a hidden mission, Luffy?"

Nami's eyes lit up, as if they had turned into money, and her short orange hair swayed excitedly.

Zoro also slightly opened his eyes, his palm resting on the scabbard, his thumb unconsciously pushing out from the hilt.

Usopp and Chopper, the mascot, were covered in sweat.

During this time, the two were terrified by the rotting, shriveled, bloodthirsty zombies that emanated a putrid stench.

Another world...it's terrifying!

Robin covered his mouth and chuckled, saying, "I've heard rumors about this town and the Jiang family. Apparently, the Jiang family has had six weddings, and each time the bride dies suddenly on her wedding night. It's definitely suspicious."

"The wedding night?"

Usopp reached out and covered Chopper's mouth, saying, "Kids shouldn't ask questions."

"In that case, let's set off and fight the zombies!"

Ignoring Zoro's furious expression, Luffy suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed the sword case on Zoro's back.

He took out the peach wood sword from inside.

"Stop right there, Luffy! This is a century-old peach wood sword, forged from rare peach wood that I bought with 20,000 reward points!"

Enraged, Zoro gritted his teeth and punched Luffy in the cheek.

They carefully retrieved the century-old peach wood sword and kept wiping it clean.

Peach wood swords, crafted from peach wood imbued with yang energy, are extremely effective against zombies.

Especially century-old peach wood,

It's an absolute gem.

"In the future, I'll inevitably encounter monsters of various attributes. The three-sword style will no longer satisfy the path of a swordsman. I need to forge a renowned sword that can handle all kinds of environments!"

Although century-old peach wood is full of yang energy, it is a wooden sword that can be broken if you are not careful.

Zoro was reluctant to lend it to Luffy to play with.

"You stingy person."

Luffy picked his nose, pulled out a pair of gauntlets mixed with peach wood heartwood powder, and put them on his hands.

Nami exclaimed in surprise, "When did even Luffy...?"

Zoro, the sword fanatic, is one thing, but he'll buy any item, no matter how expensive, as long as it's long and narrow.

Has Lu Fei changed his ways?

Don't you usually like to fight bare-handed...?

"Zombie baby!"

Before Nami could ask, Luffy had already eagerly clashed his fists together.

He looked excited.

"The Straw Hat Pirates want to raise a game pet; otherwise, even if I become the Pirate King, I won't be happy!"

Luffy, eager for a fight, dragged the Straw Hat crew toward the north of the city.

in the past,

Even items that can make you stronger can't completely attract Luffy; his dream is to gather a crew and become the Pirate King.

It's not the strongest in the world.

While becoming the Pirate King requires immense strength, it's not a given.

Now, the newly emerged pet system strikes a chord with Luffy.

The Straw Hat Pirates need not only a navigator, a cook, and a musician... but also a gaming pet!

"Could it be that you...?"

Nami had a bad feeling when she heard Luffy's words, and quickly asked a question.

Luffy smiled broadly, showing his crewmates his backpack.

The reward points were less than four digits, and in the first inventory slot, there lay a lonely hundred or so pet fragments.

"Wow, Luffy, where did you get those pet fragments?"

Usopp, unaware of the situation, stared in shock at the pet fragments in Luffy's backpack.

The polluted zombies they've been hunting recently have only yielded an average of seventeen or eighteen pet fragments per person.

Even if you add them all up, they still don't equal the number of pet fragments Luffy has right now.

Peng!

Nami, furious, couldn't help but punch Luffy hard, snarling, "Idiot, did you sell everything of value?"

Hunting rewards in the cycle of reincarnation game,

Most of it belongs to individuals, but a portion will be used as public funds for the Straw Hat crew.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are the main fighting force of the Straw Hat crew, and they also hunt the most polluted monsters and zombies.

Since the end of the Kaido incident, I've earned at least 300,000 reward points.

When it comes to money, Nami's mind works incredibly fast. She shrieked, "You took 200,000 reward points and exchanged them for just over a hundred pet fragments?!"

"No redemption..."

With bruises around his eyes and fearing Nami's anger, Luffy quickly explained, "You can only buy one pet fragment per day, and I didn't exchange for any..."

"I bought it from a merchant player, hehehe!"

Peng!

Nami's face turned green; she was not only not appeased, but almost died of anger.

She had just checked the latest market price a couple of days ago, and the price of a pet fragment had already been doubled to 5,000 reward points.

That is,

Luffy, that idiot, wasted a whole 500,000 reward points!?

Nami's chest heaved with anger, but a smile remained on her face as she asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Luffy scratched his head blankly, then, seeing Nami's smile, assumed the navigator had calmed down and laughed loudly, "Money? I sold all the materials and equipment I'd been saving..."

Zoro and Sanji turned their heads in unison, as if they didn't recognize Luffy.

Usopp covered Chopper's eyes.

Robin also took a document called "[Complete Zombie Map]", pretending to read it while covering his face.

Bang bang bang!

The continuous pounding echoed through the wide street.

Because of the zombie cholera outbreak, there were no pedestrians on the streets, so the echoes traveled very far.

"Seriously, you always mess things up without warning, you idiot Luffy."

Seeing Luffy's bruised and swollen face, Nami sighed helplessly.

Even if it were treasure that Luffy squandered on a reckless party, she wouldn't be this angry.

These are reward points; in a sense, reward points are something that can fulfill any wish.

World Government, Marine Headquarters, Noble Families, Great Pirates...

The world of One Piece is far more dangerous than it used to be. If you squander your reward points recklessly...

Not to mention the dreams of her crewmates, even the entire Straw Hat Pirates would fall behind in the turbulent era of the game, which is why she beat Luffy so seriously.

after all,

Pet eggs are too expensive for a lone pirate crew like theirs, who have no other power base.

The best approach is to observe first, and then follow suit after major players have tested and proven their strategies.

Who knew Luffy would be so straightforward?

Nami, clutching her head, tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Sigh, all the money's gone! Let's chip in and buy Luffy's pet egg!"

Adhering to the principle of not wasting,

The Straw Hat crew gave all the scattered pet fragments to Luffy and spent all their reward points, wanting to see what kind of effect the pet egg would have.

[Successfully redeemed a pet egg (Zombie Baby)!]
