Chapter 292 The upgrade is complete, the S-class is out of the box!
The two teenagers both had bad tempers and refused to obey the other. As they spoke, they actually started to fight.
But as soon as the fight started, two violent blows landed on their heads, forcibly interrupting their spell-casting movements.
"You can go back and start the fight again. Answer my questions first."
Nuo Xia had already arrived in the alley at some point. Looking at the two teenagers who were holding their heads in pain and almost bursting into tears, he said with a smile:
"Tell me, what do you want to do after following me for so long?"
The two teenagers looked at each other in confusion. In the end, it was the pudgy boy who could not hold back and spoke first: "You are Lieutenant General Romanov Nosha, right?"
"oh?"
Nuo Xia pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, a little surprised, "Ah, are you actually recognized by a few brats..."
"Hehe, it's actually a coincidence, because I happened to hear those guys shouting at the entrance of Helena Shipbuilding Company just now..."
The short and fat boy was so proud that before he finished speaking, he was quietly kicked from behind by the tall and thin Franky.
He turned his head angrily, only to see the latter wink at him cryptically and rush to speak:
"Don't listen to this idiot, Lieutenant General! It's me! I recognized you at the first sight!"
Franky's tone was filled with excitement, and his eyes were full of adoring little stars, "Maybe you don't know... but, but! I am actually your most loyal fan, and I have already admired you... Uh, I can't remember how many years.
Years, in short, it’s been a long time!”
"Every time a newspaper has a photo of you on the front page, I keep them all at home. My dream is to become a just and great navy like you!!"
Haven't you always disliked the navy? When did you start to admire this guy? And your dream from beginning to end is to become the world's number one shipbuilder...
The pudgy boy turned his head and looked at Franky with his eyes wide open, his face full of astonishment.
"..."
The look behind Nuo Xia's sunglasses was a little strange, but it didn't show on his face. He just smiled politely:
"Thank you for the compliment, but you two still didn't tell me what you wanted to do with me..."
"That's right, Lieutenant General!"
Franky immediately said, "You just ordered a ship from Helena Company, right? If I guess correctly, I can let you make a special trip, and that ship should be your exclusive ship.
?”
"Um."
Nuo Xia had no intention of covering up, nodded and said, "The order has been placed. What, is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem!"
Frankie couldn't hide his excitement, and his loud voice was no less loud than twenty years later:
"Helena Company? Is that considered a shipbuilding company? There isn't even a decent shipbuilding master in it, it's just a bunch of scum that monopolized the upper market by getting rich early!"
He shook his fist violently, with an indignant look on his face, "The ships they produce are mediocre and crude, and even I can't look down on them. How can they be worthy of you!"
Nuo Xia said nothing, but looked at Franky with a half-smile.
He had already roughly guessed some of the other party's intentions.
As expected.
Before Nuo Xia could ask further questions, Frankie was already patting his chest and enthusiastically promoting himself:
"As a fan, I really can't stand this! Lieutenant General, instead of getting a mass-produced, soulless piece of junk two months later, why not let my master take action and build you a ship that can be used all over the world?"
The best warship ever!"
“You don’t have to draft anything when you’re bragging.”
Nuo Xia became teasing and deliberately shook his head angrily, "Helena Company may indeed have no famous shipbuilding masters as you said, but it can become one of the regular suppliers of this department. Naturally, it has two
As for the brushes, the warships produced must be above the standard."
"In comparison, you probably came from a small-scale shipbuilding workshop, right?"
Nuo Xia looked at Franky, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's obviously not on the same level in terms of scale... Why, do you have so much confidence in your master?"
"Of course, Lieutenant General!"
Frankie held his head high, grinned and said loudly:
"My master is the world's best shipbuilder, Mr. Tom!"
………………
Clang, clang!
It is getting later and later, and the setting sun is almost sinking below the sea level, but on the shipbuilding site, the roar of motors and the whistle of labor still do not stop.
Everywhere you look, you can see scenes of shipbuilding workers sweating profusely and working hard.
"Lieutenant General, follow me, this way!"
Franky excitedly led the way. When he turned the alley, he patted his chest and said, "Although it is true as you said, we are just a small workshop in a remote street, as long as I see my master
, then you will definitely not be disappointed! Even if you ask around, no one will deny that he is the most outstanding master in our water city!"
"Yeah?"
The further he walked into the alley, the more dilapidated and dirty the surrounding scene became. Nuo Xia looked at the harsh and terrible living environment and smiled slightly, "I'm looking forward to this."
In fact, there is no need for Mrs. Frankie to sell melons. Of course, Nuo Xia knows who the master the former mentioned is.
Fishman Tom.
Even if we look at the entire Maritime calendar, he is one of the greatest and most outstanding shipbuilding masters, and today, he is the undisputed number one in the world.
Even Roger, the Pirate King, specifically asked Tom to build a ship for him when he passed by the Water City.
But it was precisely this behavior that caused Tom to be ostracized by the residents of the Seven Waters City and was driven to live in a place that was almost the same as a garbage dump. In the same year, he was sentenced to death by the World Government.
However, in court, Tom the Fishman told his idea and design of the sea train, successfully impressing the judges and all the people present.
The execution was postponed, and the judge gave Tom ten years of probation to build the sea train.
At this time point, the sea train should have just left the drawings, and at most it is only in the preliminary experimental stage.
But Nuosha, who knew the subsequent plot, was very clear about the earth-shaking changes that this great invention had brought to the city.
Is the current water city considered prosperous?
Of course.
The world-famous shipbuilding technology and unique scenery have brought a lot of income to the city, making the city of Seven Waters more prosperous than the average level of the islands of the Grand Line.
However.
After all, this is just the appearance. The dilapidation and depression hidden in the bones cannot be concealed no matter what.
Every year, this city receives a "Water God", which is a tsunami.
At this time, people on the island will run to higher places to take shelter. However, after the tsunami passes every year, the water level in the city will increase a lot, and the surrounding living space will continue to be compressed step by step.
Since the Great Pirate Age began, there have been more and more pirates raging on the sea, coupled with the strange and changeable climate of the Grand Line.
Trade between the islands is difficult and production materials are scarce. In order to compete for customers, major shipbuilding companies continue to have conflicts, falling into a cycle of vicious competition.
The vitality of this city is being deprived bit by bit year by year.
It is only the fifth year since the great pirate era began, so perhaps this perception is not too obvious yet.
But Nosha knows better than anyone that in the near future, due to vicious competition among shipbuilding companies, there will be more and more unemployed people on the streets.
In order to anesthetize themselves, alcohol is rampant, which in turn causes the security of the entire city to further deteriorate, and the reputation of tourism is getting worse and worse. This has caused a catastrophic chain reaction, and all walks of life are rapidly declining...
In this desperate situation.
Tom the fishman bet the rest of his life, racing against time, spending fourteen years to invent a track that floats on the sea and is not damaged by the water gods, and a sea steel train.
Since then, the surrounding islands and the water city have been completely connected. Tom's hard work has not been in vain. He has rekindled people's hope and saved the city!
so.
Nuo Xia really didn't deal with Franky.
He was really looking forward to having the chance to meet this great master shipbuilder.
In fact, if he were not a traveler, he would not attach much importance to the ship as the natives of the pirate world, and he was on his honeymoon and did not want to spend too much energy on the ship.
Then his first choice when coming to the Capital of Seven Waters must be Master Tom, not the shipbuilding giants.
…
After twists and turns, more than ten minutes later, Nuo Xia followed Franky and arrived at a dilapidated hut in the innermost part.
Above the rotten and rusty iron door, the words "Tom's Studio" are crookedly written on the signboard.
It was dimly lit inside, and a young man with blue hair and a beard was bending down to inspect a row of parts meticulously. When he heard the footsteps coming from outside, he frowned and turned his head displeased:
"Franky, didn't you and Fatty go to the city to buy wood together? Why did you come back now..."
The voice suddenly stopped, and he noticed the tall figure following Franky. He couldn't help but was slightly startled, "This is..."
"It's an incredible guest! Brother Bingshan!" Frankie pushed up his goggles and laughed proudly, "Why don't you hurry up and prepare tea? I'll call Master... Hey, where are the others? Why didn't you see them inside?
he?"
Is this an iceberg?
Nuo Xia glanced at the bearded young man with interest, the number one disciple of Tom the Fishman, who seemed to be the same age as himself.
The future mayor of the Seven Waters City and the president of Carrera Company seem to be respectable and prominent figures. Unfortunately, among the boatmen under him, there are a bunch of CP-9 undercovers headed by Rob Luqi, who even have personal secretary cards.
Leafa is no exception.
Hmm, it's quite miserable. It's probably the Gin in the pirate world...
"I ran out of drawings, so I said I had to go to the shopping street to buy them."
Bingshan glanced at Nuo Xia, feeling the vaguely familiar temperament, and frowned vaguely, "How about I go out and pick him up?"
"You really should pick it up, otherwise the old man may not be able to come back before dark." Frankie waved his hand carelessly, "You can go ahead, I will be here to receive Mr. Nosha, don't worry."
"You come along too."
But Bingshan pulled him out without saying a word.
Franky frowned in dissatisfaction and muttered something like "What are you doing?", but was eventually pulled out.
Before going out, he waved to Nuo Xia and said sheepishly: "Sorry, Lieutenant General! You can wait here alone for a while, and we will bring the master back to you right away!"
Nuo Xia smiled and picked up the water glass, indicating that she didn't mind.
After watching the two of them go away, he was the only one left in the dark studio room.
He crossed his legs in boredom, and was about to call Taotu and the others to tell him that he would have to go back later. Suddenly, a long-lost notification sounded in his mind.
Um?
Nuo Xia was startled for a moment, as if he realized something, and quickly opened the system panel.
As expected.
As soon as the blue panel was unfolded, an eye-catching prompt box popped up:
[The system has been upgraded and maintained, and all functions have been fully reopened, please check]
[Some new features have been unlocked, please explore by yourself]
[The love cell culture phase has ended]
[According to the changes in the game stage, the system has been renamed as the Sea King Training System]
…
The 60-day maintenance and upgrade period was originally due in these two days, but I didn't expect it to be completed at this time.
only……
Sea king training system?
Nuo Xia frowned slightly. Didn't he get a love system? Why did the style suddenly change, from a love game to a hegemony game?
wrong……
He suddenly noticed something and his eyes twitched.
It seems that the style of painting has not changed. If you remove the two characters from this bad name...
Gan!
The system's malicious speculations are as good as ever. He has clearly said that with his character, it is impossible for him to become the kind of Neptune who raises fish everywhere!
[Innate skills: Overlord color and domineering, King Kong is indestructible, listen to the voice of all things, toothy smile, craftsman spirit, wind barrier (advanced), rough skin and flesh (advanced), steel head (advanced), rebirth of severed limbs
, amphibious breathing]
[Currently equipped: Guardian Angel, Light Boots, Armor of Thorns]
[Special props: 20% off discount coupon in the mall*2]
…………
Finally I can see my own attributes again.
Nuo Xia glanced at it and quickly skipped it. His attributes had not changed much compared to a few months ago, only his agility had increased a little at the data level.
In comparison.
All he can think about now is unboxing.
The last mission reward was two S-level treasure chests, but they haven’t been touched yet. I’ve been holding this in for a long time!
Looking at the reward list, an idea came to mind.
I opened the first S-level treasure chest first.
The familiar yet unfamiliar blue dice appeared, and the words marked on each side were the same.
Attribute points, consumables, weapons, skill scrolls, defensive items, and eggs.
"It's really...it's been a long time since we last met."
After all, it is an S-class gift box. It has been almost half a year since I opened the gift box. I still have to have the sense of ritual of unboxing. Nuo Xia rubbed his hands, prayed silently in his heart, and shouted:
