Chapter 289 Blackmail
Kizaru took Chi Yao to the rest room, which was located on the top floor and was arranged right next to Kizaru. Obviously, it was for the convenience of protection. This made Chi Yao feel helpless, but he could not refute it.
If Chi Yao opposed this arrangement, it would show that he had ulterior motives in joining the World Government.
After sending Chi Yao to his room, Kizaru said something before leaving, and then went to his room with peace of mind.
"It will take about three days to reach Judicial Island."
Chi Yao sensed his surroundings and found that this arrangement also had its advantages, because the Navy Admiral Kizaru was right next door and there was no other surveillance or observation.
Chi Yao heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his task panel. In order to have enough time to stay in the Kingdom of Tyria to complete the mission of the No. 6 ore vein, he had used the main task failure immunity (first order) to exempt himself from the failure penalty of the first stage of the main task "Arrival at the Seven Water City", which meant that his main task had automatically entered the second stage.
Chi Yao received a reminder about the park just when he got on board, but he only had time to check it out in the room now.
[The hunter has been exempted from the penalty for failure of the first phase of the main mission, and the second phase of the main mission has been activated. ]
[Main task of the second phase: Choice of camp]
[Judgment completed, the hunter has joined the "World Government" camp, and the second stage of the main task has been completed. ]
[The hunter gets the mission reward: 2000 Paradise Coins. ]
[The third phase of the main task has been activated. ]
[Main task of the third stage: Becoming a senior executive]
[Judgment completed, the hunter has become a high-end scientific researcher, and the main task of the third stage has been completed. ]
[The hunter gets the mission reward: 3000 Paradise Coins, 2 attribute points. ]
[The fourth stage main mission has been activated. ]
[The fourth stage main task: arrive at the Judicial Island. ]
Main mission: Arrive at Judicial Island.
Difficulty level: LV.1
Mission description: After arriving at Judicial Island, subsequent missions will be activated.
Mission duration: five days.
Mission reward: 1,000 Paradise Coins.
Mission penalty: forced execution.
A series of prompts popped up and were listed in front of Chi Yao one by one. Chi Yao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Complete the task ahead of time and settle it all at once. It feels a bit like a hunter."
Chi Yao carefully looked at the main mission of the fourth stage. The difficulty level LV.1 and the penalty of forced execution meant that this mission was quite simple. Chi Yao didn't even have to do anything extra. He just had to wait for the warship to dock.
Therefore, Chi Yao chose to meditate and practice directly in the room, and the meals would be delivered by the navy. As for the food on the warship, Ya Ya made a sharp comment that there were "too many seafoods".
This situation continued until the last night, when there was a knock on Chi Yao's door. Chi Yao opened his eyes, came out of meditation, and sensed that it was Kizaru who knocked on the door.
Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why the other party came to see him at this time, Chi Yao still stood up and chose to open the door.
The uncle Kizaru had a lewd smile on his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Chi Yao and said.
"Hello, Tonino Huiyao, how are the meals these days?"
Chi Yao raised his eyebrows slightly. Wasn't Kizaru's conversational skills a bit too strange?
Chi Yao nodded slightly in response. Chi Yao, who had already guessed his identity, was not afraid at all. He said "Expulsion Order" with a slightly sleepy face.
"Very good, Admiral Kizaru, you can just call me Huiyao."
"I wonder what's up with you? If nothing else, I'd like to rest as soon as possible."
Kizaru put his hands in front of him and coughed lightly.
"Well, then I'll call you Huiyao."
"I'm here to discuss your subsequent position."
Chi Yao's eyes lit up, realizing that his chance to "blackmail" had come. He immediately came to his senses and invited Kizaru into the house.
Chi Yao and Kizaru sat down opposite each other, and Kizaru spoke first.
"Carlo has informed us of the materials you need. We have almost collected them in the past few days. We are just waiting for you to arrive."
"As for your position, it is considered a high-end scientific research member of the World Government's Science Department, and you enjoy corresponding benefits."
"According to the plan proposed by Carlo, we will provide the materials, and you will be responsible for making the enhanced inscriptions. The enhanced inscriptions will be provided to us free of charge."
"Correspondingly, you can propose a condition that is within our capabilities."
Chi Yao crossed his arms and thought, the plan proposed by Kizaru was, to some extent, what Tonino Carlo had fought for for himself, but he didn't know what the upper limit was.
One Piece is a world that produces a lot of good swords. Chi Yao originally thought about whether he should get a knife. It is basically impossible to get the Twelve Techniques of the Supreme Great Sword, but he could try the Twenty-One Techniques of the Great Sword. However, the moment this idea came up, it was extinguished by Chi Yao, as a knife would not be of much use to him.
If he simply used it to exchange for benefits with Su Xiao, it would seem putting the cart before the horse. After all, Su Xiao himself is a poor guy now, and the most important thing in the paradise is to improve himself.
Therefore, Chi Yao directly thought of the universal item for strengthening and upgrading - soul crystal.
Chi Yao reached deep into his arms, took out a soul crystal (middle), and opened his mouth as loudly as possible.
"Then I need this kind of crystal. 500 of them should be enough."
Kizaru saw the soul crystal (middle) that Chi Yao took out of his arms. He wiped his glasses to make sure he saw it right, and rubbed his ears to make sure he heard it right.
After Kizaru confirmed that he had no visual or auditory hallucinations, his expression turned quite grim. He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Impossible, there are at most two such soul crystals."
Chi Yao was a little surprised that Kizaru was willing to offer the price of two Soul Crystals (middle), which means that the World Government attaches great importance to the strengthening inscriptions.
Chi Yao supported his chin with one hand, thought for a while, and decided to drop a bombshell to open the purse of the world government.
"What if I can create an inscription that can be used for short-range space teleportation? How many soul crystals are you willing to give?"
Hearing Chi Yao's words, Kizaru couldn't help but stand up and put his hands on the table, making the table creaky sound as it could not bear the weight.
"Space teleportation? Are you serious?"
Chi Yao nodded calmly, took out the beginner-level space teleportation array that only had one use left, and said.
"That's it. If you hold the core of the formation, as long as you are within 1,500 meters of the formation disk, you can activate space teleportation back to where the formation disk is in about 1 second."
"Of course, this is a one-time use. And I don't recommend using this with three or more people."
Chi Yao selectively weakened the ability of the space teleportation array. Telling it all would affect his subsequent use. One must always keep something in mind in this kind of transaction.
Huang Yuan listened to what Chi Yao said, took the palm-sized formation plate from Chi Yao's hand, and said.
"Three people, 1500 meters? The distance is a bit short, but not bad either."
Kizaru then straightened his expression, took out a video Den Den Mushi and said.
"Next, I will activate this video Den Den Mushi. Please verify the effect you mentioned."
"As for the reward, we will discuss it in detail after we confirm that what you said is true."
Chi Yao naturally agreed.
"no problem."
