I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Two more hours passed in silence.

His wife suddenly screamed!

What's wrong now? Why are you so easily startled?

Hepsey turned to look: 'Congratulations! You've been showered with a free dance lamp core gift! Invite new users to help light two lamps, and you can receive a free dance lamp core worth 1 million lamp coins!'

He paused for two seconds, then suddenly jumped up, grabbed the Den Den Mushi, and dialed: "Notify all employees to assemble immediately, and bring the Network Mushi!"

On the other side, in the three-story building that had become the headquarters of Lynch Trading Company, Lynch was sitting in front of the Network Bug, looking at Figo with some hesitation.

"What, are you feeling sorry for him?"

"No, I'm just curious... Uncle, can you really dance?" Lin Qi chuckled.

Figo retorted, "I can even steal, so what's so strange about me being able to dance?"

That makes a lot of sense.

Lin Qi was speechless and said, "Speaking of which, Uncle, your method is really amazing, a hundred times better than any advertisement!"

Figo smiled and said, "Alright, you keep an eye on things here. The dancing lamp wicks probably won't be given out anytime soon. I'll go and deliver the lamp wicks to the two guests who received free ones. If I haven't returned by the time the dancing lamp wicks are delivered, you can continue to give them out according to the rules I set."

Lin Qi: "Okay, I understand."

He turned around and continued to control the web bug.

It's no exaggeration to say that this kid's network manipulation skills are on par with a lamp wick; he truly is a genius. He designed the merchant group's interface to look exactly what Figo wanted in just three days, and it was flawless from the start, saving Figo a lot of trouble.

Figo has appointed him as chief network engineer—although, as of now, the Lynch Group only consists of the two of them.

But clearly, the future looks promising.

Remembering the two addresses, Figo left with the two lamp wicks, his figure flashing towards the sea.

He wasn't going to take a boat or fly at low altitude; he was going to swim.

When you go, bring two lamp wicks; when you come back, bring at least twenty!

Otherwise, it would all be considered a loss.

……

"0.1%?!"

At the same time, Hepsey, who was gathering employees to help light the lamps, let out an outburst of shouts.

He has over 700 employees, and assisting 100 times is a breeze. The first lamp was lit smoothly, unlike his wife's situation where the lamp was 99% lit but still needed 10 more wicks.

But to get free dance lamp wicks, you need to light two lamps. And for the second lamp, inviting a new user only increases the reward by 0.1%?!

This means we need a full 1000 people!

Well, lighting the second lamp is 10 times more difficult than lighting the first.

That makes sense.

That's so damn reasonable!

He paced back and forth in frustration, wanting to contact the merchant group to buy at a premium, only to find that the newly registered merchant group hadn't even provided any contact information.

Left with no other choice, he could only ask his employees to lend a hand, and when he saw that the second light was lit at 31.7%... why so little?

"Lord Hepsey, Designer Defi has already had some staff help out..."

Hepsey was speechless.

"Get everyone to help recruit people! Everyone needs to recruit at least two, as soon as possible!"

Didn't I just praise the event designers for being clever? Clever my foot!

You're giving away something worth 100 million for free? I can't even buy it if I wanted to! It's unbelievable!

……

"Damn it! What is this thing?! Who is the guild master?! You dare to play me for a fool?! I'll kill you!"

On G Island, a masked man roared angrily, staring at the network bug in front of him as if he wanted to smash it to pieces.

Not far away, an old man with a cane looked at him, somewhat nervous and puzzled.

He was the mayor of this small town, and just an hour ago, this man in front of him suddenly broke into their town and displayed extremely powerful force by violently destroying the streets.

The residents initially thought he was a pirate who had come to plunder, but to their surprise, he simply ordered them to retrieve the network bugs to help him light up the lights of the Lynch Trading Company. This was something they had never heard of before!

"Damn it! That's not enough. Find me two hundred more people, two hundred internet addicts, hurry up!"

The man stared at the web bug and gritted his teeth.

The interface displayed: 'Lighting a lamp carries a certain risk. Unfortunately, you failed to light the lamp this time. The lamp-lighting progress has decreased by 20%. Please continue to accumulate!'

We risked everything to attack the town, finally managing to gather 1100 people, and this is what you give me?!

You bastard, you're not even human!

……

Similar things are happening repeatedly on most of the 81 islands—

Are you familiar with the Lynch Company?

Could you give me a hand?

It's unclear when exactly, but these two phrases have become a standard greeting among the residents of the islands.

Faster than Hepsey had anticipated, in just one day, the Lynch Merchant Guild became famous across 81 islands in this viral manner!

Because dancing with the lamp is too difficult for ordinary people, the hype paused briefly, but when someone actually succeeded in acquiring the 1 million yuan lamp wick, everyone's enthusiasm was instantly reignited.

Next, they put on the shelves items like carpenter's lamp wicks, which ordinary people could try their luck with, attracting some people who dreamed of getting rich quick to go around the streets and alleys and spontaneously promote the merchant group.

Although many people felt that the merchant group was just playing games with people and not selling things properly, at least they remembered the name and found it hard to forget!

People from Mars have never seen this kind of trick before.

Just as the Lynch Merchant Guild was gaining popularity in this sea area, in a more distant sea, on Rosa Island, eight powerful figures were engaged in a fierce argument.

"No discussion, our Kami Merchant Guild wants at least these 20 islands in the southwest!"

"Then I want 20 in the northeast."

"I want the Northwest."

"Tch, you three might as well divide up all 81 islands of the Serau Merchant Guild."

These eight powerful individuals were all presidents or important cadres of major merchant groups around the sea area ruled by the Serau Merchant Guild. After ten days of investigation in the direction of the Serau Merchant Guild's base, they did not find the powerful angel Michael and concluded that Michael and the Serau Merchant Guild were probably just some kind of personal grudge.

Since they were certain that there were no other merchant groups worth their attention in the territory of the Serau merchant group, they naturally gathered together to discuss dividing the territory.

However, they discussed the distribution of benefits for most of the day but still could not reach a complete agreement.

"Hmph, in the end, we'll have to settle things with strength, won't we?" Someone snorted coldly, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually fell silent.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

He was a subordinate of one of the business association leaders. He quickly leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered a few words.

"What? When did this happen?! Were all the people who went to investigate idiots? They didn't even discover something this big!" The guild leader was furious.

His subordinate said with difficulty, "Chairman, that merchant group... opened this morning."

It's early morning... now it's evening. You're telling me that in just half a day, a merchant group went from nothing to gaining enormous fame?!

"You'll see when you look; the way they do it is... very unique."

His subordinate handed him the web bug.

"What happened?" other high-ranking members of the merchant groups asked upon seeing this.

Soon, everyone learned about the arrival of the Linqi Merchant Guild from the distant seas through the network insects.

suddenly.

Suddenly they seemed somewhat bewildered.

"...Are you out of your mind? You haven't even seen anything yet, and you're already giving away hundreds of millions?"

"No, it's worth it; they saved all their advertising costs."

"Isn't one of you playing a trick? You even have storage for obscure things like dancing lights; they couldn't have just appeared out of thin air!"

"Hmph, if you had that kind of ability, I would have already gone and taken over your territory!"

"They've come with ill intentions..."

"It seems that taking over the sea area from the Serau Merchant Guild will require some effort?"

"Fufufufufu..." At this moment, the man who had been sitting in a corner of the room and whose presence was not very noticeable all day suddenly laughed in a strange tone.

"Hmm? Master of the Don Quixote Merchant Guild, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Fufufu... It's nothing. I just suddenly realized that we've been fighting over food like vicious dogs, wasting most of the day. Now, the food we thought we could definitely get our hands on has been snatched away by other animals. How amusing."

"To describe us, including ourselves, as vicious dogs?" The head of the merchant guild looked at him with displeasure.

The man had already stood up.

He had blond hair, wore sunglasses, and a flashy pink coat. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth turned up wildly to both sides.

"Instead of wasting time here, let's hurry up and see if it's a tiger or a kitten that's trying to steal our food!"

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, spread his legs wide, and walked out arrogantly.

Chapter 297 The Rules of the Stars of Light

"Boss!"

"President!"

Amid greetings from his trusted subordinates, Doflamingo entered his temporary residence on Rosa Island.

"Do you all know about the Lynch Merchant Group that just emerged in the Serau Merchant Group's waters? If not, I'll give you half an hour to find out, then come to my room."

"Yes!"

His subordinates dispersed, leaving only a beautiful woman with reddish-brown hair and a thin veil to accompany him into the room and help him take off his outer clothes.
