Chapter 30: A New Mission
A chest hidden under the pirate captain's bed, a box locked by a lock made of sea towers, needless to say, the contents must be extraordinary.
Lynch split open the box, and the contents did not disappoint Lynch.
It was a strangely shaped fruit, shaped like a cantaloupe, covered with strange threads, like a large mouth one by one.
"Devil Fruit!" Lynch recognized the contents of the box at a glance.
It's really an unexpected surprise, I didn't expect that not only is Crewe a Devil Fruit powerhouse, but the Crewe Pirates actually have a Devil Fruit.
Although it seems that there are many Devil Fruit Ability, compared to the huge population base of the world, there are actually very few Devil Fruit Ability Person.
No matter how rubbish a Devil Fruit is, its reserve price is 100 million berry, and it is rare and expensive, if it is not for luck, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to afford a Devil Fruit in their lifetime.
"But... What kind of fruit is this? "Lynch hadn't seen the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, and he didn't have Blackbeard's ability to recognize the Dark Fruit at a glance.
"It seems that the only way to go back to the Navy's library is to see if there is a Devil Fruit Illustrated Book."
Without waiting for Lynch to study carefully, the call of his companions outside came, and Lynch waved his hand, simply put the entire broken box into the system space, and then hurriedly left.
...............
In the Age of Discovery, the navy, as an organization fighting against pirates, was very necessary to replenish fresh blood at all times.
The cadets of the new boot camp graduated perfectly, and everyone went their separate ways and was assigned to various departments of the Navy.
Lynch, Smoker and Tina, as the three best people in this training camp, also received the best treatment.
The second lieutenant of the naval headquarters, although also the lowest rank among naval officers, is naturally one rank higher than those assigned to the naval branches.
Unsurprisingly, Lynch was assigned to the current Vice Admiral Pheasant, while Smoker and Tina fell to an unknown rear admiral.
In this way, Lynch began his official naval career.
"Ahh Is life in the Navy so boring? Why don't you have a single pirate? Lynch lay bored on the deck of the warship and wailed.
It's been a month since I became a second lieutenant in the navy, and I patrol around every day on a warship, but I haven't seen a single pirate.
This made Lynch, who thought he could show his talents, a very big psychological gap, and this kind of life of eating and waiting for death was not what Lynch wanted.
"Second Lieutenant Lynch, our duty is to patrol the Navy Headquarters Marin Mado, do you think you can see pirates around here?" A colleague of Lynch, Lieutenant Carl, said.
This is also one of the few friends Lynch has met in the past month, and everyone has served on a warship, so they are familiar with coming and going.
"Then you haven't fought the pirates?" Lynch sat up and asked curiously.
"How is that possible? In the first two years, the Golden Lion Shiki attacked the naval headquarters, and we suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the Sengoku General and Vice Admiral Karp defeated the Golden Lion, otherwise we would have been wiped out. Carl said with a sigh of relief, glad he had saved his life.
"Something like that hasn't happened once in decades, so have we been wandering around this sea with nothing to do?" Lynch said, rolling his eyes.
The next time the Navy Headquarters encounters another war, it will be a war on top, and that will be more than twenty years later. Will these navies just eat dry food for such a long time?
"Hey! Don't be idle, I'm sorry. We, the troops directly under the lieutenant general of the headquarters, are carrying out very dangerous tasks. When we catch those sea pirates, the casualty rate of our little shrimp is surprisingly high, so you should be glad that you can bask in the sun here. Carl scoffed, disdainful of Lynch's no-nonsense mentality.
Lynch rolled his eyes again when he heard this, turned over and lay on the deck, and continued to bask in the sun.
Carl chuckled and left, it was almost his shift, and he had to take over.
And Lynch was lying on the deck, but he was thinking about whether he wanted to apply for a transfer position, this kind of Guard-style troops was really not suitable for him. I have a lot to do, and being confined to a warship is really not what I want.
If Lynch wants to practice kendo and become a great swordsman, he will have to challenge many strong people, and he can even go to Hawkeye, who has not yet become the world's number one swordsman, to see the gap between himself and the world's top powerhouses.
There is also Lynch who is familiar with the plot, and can completely seize many resources that have not yet been discovered, like the Devil Fruit that he got last time, which has been confirmed to be the swallowing fruit of Valpo in the future.
This Devil Fruit Lynch didn't like it, but there was a thunder fruit on the Sky Island that was known as the strongest in the natural system, and Lynch wanted to find it in advance.
There are many of the same things, and Lynch can rely on his prophet to feel many advantages, but now he is trapped on this warship, cruising around Marin Fando every day, it is really a waste of life.
And just as Lynch was thinking about how to change positions, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Ding! The role-playing system searches the quest world, the host is ready, and the traversal quest begins immediately. ”
"Huh? The system has another task? It's okay, it's so boring all day, and finally something to do. ”
Thinking so, Lynch jumped up from the deck and sped back to his room.
Some of the sailors passing by seemed to be accustomed to Lynch's startled behavior, but they just glanced at it and ignored it.
"Ash, what's the mission world this time?" After walking into his room and closing the door, Lynch asked impatiently.
"The mission world this time is the movie world "Alien vs. Predator", and the mission category is experience mission." Ash replied.
"Experience? It's an experience mission, so why aren't there any other tasks? When Lynch heard that it was another training task, he immediately complained, after all, the benefits of the training task were less, and the events of the last Fengyun World made Lynch feel distressed for more than half a year.
"The host doesn't need to complain, the last mission was originally a plundering mission, but the host itself missed it, so this is the host's own responsibility." Ash said.
"Uh... Isn't there a nightmare quest for that? I've already done two training missions. Lynch said unconvinced.
Ash strangely didn't pick up immediately, but was silent for a while before speaking; "Does the host know what a nightmare mission is?"
"Huh? This one... I don't know. Lynch replied that Ash hadn't made it clear at the beginning, where he knew where he went.
Hearing this, Ash began to reply, "The Nightmare Quest is the most difficult of the three quest categories, with many quest restrictions and an extremely high mortality rate, so does the host still want to perform the Nightmare Quest?" ”
"Uh... This one... In that case, forget it. Lynch rubbed the back of his head and sneered.
Removing the eggs, the mortality rate is extremely high? Who wants such a task?
"So now it's time for the host to start choosing to play a role." As an artificial intelligence, Ash did not sarcastically mock Lynch and continued to carry out this obligation.
"Okay, let's see what the characters are?"
As Lynch spoke, a selection panel appeared in front of him, and the three characters to be selected were on it.
1. Charles Weeland
2. Graham Miller
3. Maxwell Stamford
"It's... Is this playing with me? Lynch shouted when he saw the three characters to be selected.
He has seen the movie "Alien vs. Predator", but this kind of popcorn-style Hollywood movie is different from "Condor Shooting" and "Fengyun", how can Lynch remember everyone's character names.
And these people are still foreign names, how does Lynch choose?
"Don't you have any introduction?" Lynch asked Ash.
"The system can give the host some introduction, but the system will not answer everything about the plot." Ash said.
Lynch breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Then give me some hints, what are these three people doing." ”
Ash replied, "The first character, Charles Weeland, is a rich man; The second character, Graeme Miller, is a chemical engineer; The third character, Maxwell Stamford, is one of Charles Weeland's subordinates and plays a supporting role. ”
Ash stopped talking after saying this, quietly waiting for Lynch's choice.
According to Ash's profile, Lynch also remembered some plots about the three of them.
Not surprisingly, the three characters this time are all supporting roles, but the protagonist of this movie seems to be a woman.
And at the end of the movie, except for the heroine, everyone died, either at the hands of the alien or at the hands of the Predator.
Among the three characters, Charles Weyland is a rich man who dominates the exploration process in the movie, but this person is an old man who seems to have some terminal illness, and such a role will affect Lynch's strength.
Grim Miller was a chemical engineer hired by Welander, but he was a bit of a joker, and he already had the kid. If Lynch chooses this role, he will directly like to be a father.
Maxwell Stamford, who has a long list of names at the end, said to be one of Weland's subordinates, so there seems to be a black man in the movie, who is said to be the representative of Weland's company, and he is very valued by Weland, and it seems to be a force leader.
"So... I choose Maxwell Stamford. Lynch thought about it and made his final choice.
"Okay, the host has finished playing the role, now let's go through the world."
