Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 279 System Update (asking for monthly ticket~)

The night is dark and the moon and stars are sparse.

On the tranquil sea, the lonely figure of the Merry drifted slowly in the quiet night, like a lonely star on the sea, accompanied only by the equally thin clouds in the sky.

On the deck of the Merry, Luffy and others were still excitedly discussing the battle that had just happened.

Except for Zoro, Luffy and Sanji, who are both entering the Pokémon state for the first time, have a lot to say.

In comparison, Usopp, who was standing next to the three people and had no idea what Pokémonization was, had completely become a fool.

"Sure enough, the gap between me and them is still too big!"

While listening to Luffy and the others talking about techniques, Usopp remained silent and was experimentally transforming himself into a Pokémon inside his body.

However, whether it is the basic attributes brought by the level or the control of his own will, he is far behind Luffy and others, and he doesn't even have the slightest feeling of getting started.

But Usopp was not discouraged.

After all, this has become a daily routine for him.

Even if he was asked to admit that he was the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, he would not object at all.

The only thing is...

He will never stop.

"Pokémonization... Although it may be difficult to do in a short period of time with my talent, there are some talented people among the Zerg I have cultivated!"

"The number of Zerg in my body is now enough for me to handle a national-level war at any time. It's time to consider training a Zerg King."

Countless thoughts flashed through Usopp's mind, and he was also ready to start implementing his plan as soon as Lab came back.

no way……

Although the hull of the Merry was wide enough, due to the strong request of his companions, he was ultimately unable to move the Zerg breeding base onto the Merry.

His storage fruits can only create space for the Zerg to survive, but cannot allow them to move freely, and naturally they have no breeding ability.

"I don't know how things are going on over there at Rab."

Usopp made random associations.

On the other hand, Red, as a trainer, did not join in the discussion of the Pokémon.

Because the system update did not last too long, while Luffy and the others were still talking enthusiastically about how to make the two Pokémon energies blend and infuse the whole body...

A light electronic prompt sound suddenly rang out in Chihong's mind:
【Ding~! System update has been completed, players are welcome to continue playing. 】

A bright light suddenly flashed before Chihong's eyes.

The next moment, a virtual screen appeared directly in front of Chihong's eyes, and it could be enlarged, reduced, and changed direction freely according to his consciousness.

It was the machine image that had only existed in the red sea of ​​consciousness before.

Familiar game interface, familiar battery icon, familiar Pokémon list...

“Update completed!”

Seeing this scene, Akahira was immediately delighted. She did not continue to listen to Sanji and Zoro's argument about multi-attribute Pokémon. She directly found a corner and began to study the updated system.

The updated machine seems to have become smarter.

Before Chihong could discover anything, an update report appeared in front of him in the form of a prompt message, allowing him to understand the content of the update more clearly.

The first point is also the most intuitive one...

The machine that could only appear in Chihong's mind in the past can now be materialized in front of Chihong, and its operation has become more flexible and convenient.

Red: Very good, another useless setting. Red continued to look down, and the next update finally brought a smile to his face.

"It's worth the wait~" He sighed softly, and then carefully read the updated content of the machine.

Apart from the operational updates that don’t have much effect, this update adds a total of three new features to the machine.

The first one is the [main backpack function].

In the past, Red was used to extract items from the Pokémon world, which required a large amount of electricity.

With this function, when Chihong completes a game world, he can transfer the items in the backpack of this game world to the main backpack.

Then, Red in the Pirate World can directly extract the items from the main backpack without any consumption!
This wave can be said to be an epic benefit for the machine, and it is also an epic enhancement for Usopp and Franky!

Originally, due to the limited number of props such as Evolution Stones, the two had been restrained in the development of Pokémon-based weapons and equipment.

With this main backpack function, they can also obtain continuous support from Chihong in the form of evolution stones and other resources.

The two's development of Pokémon-like weapons will also go a step further.

In addition, the Straw Hat Pirates will no longer have to worry about recovery items such as good medicine in the future.

At least the coins that Red has in the game world, if converted into good medicine, would be enough for the Straw Hat Pirates to fight the Four Emperors Pirates five or six times.

"Not bad, not bad, keep working hard next time, Machine Dad!"

After reading the introduction about the [Main Backpack Function], Chihong immediately smacked his lips with satisfaction and praised the machine as the host.

The second new feature of the updated machine surprised him even more...

【Offline hang-up function】!
That's right!

It is the offline hang-up function that Chihong often saw in various third-rate mobile games in his previous life!
The effect of this function allows Red to send any number of "Pokémon" into the game world he has already completed by consuming electricity.

The more Pokémon that enter the game world and the longer they stay in it, the more power is consumed.

The "Pokémon" sent into the game world will be no different from those brought into the game world by Red on a daily basis.

However, Pokémon without trainers cannot pick up items, earn money, or fight with trainers. They can only fight wild Pokémon to gain experience.

But even so, this function is a timely help and icing on the cake for Red or the Straw Hat Pirates!

Experience points = strength!

Although he still doesn't know how much power it takes to keep a Pokémon idle for a day, Red believes that based on the system's usual style, it will not embarrass him too much.

Are you right, machine dad?
[Offline hang-up function] will definitely become the next key function used by Chihong in the future.

And this function might be more useful than he imagined.

After a change of thoughts, Chihong once again looked at the last function of the machine update.

【Mall function】!
Man as his name suggests.

The effect of this function is that Chihong can open a shopping mall system on the main interface of the machine at any time.

The mall sells all the items that have appeared in Red Clear's game world.

Even props that are unique in the game world can be purchased by spending electricity.

For example, the Master Ball... For example, the Mega Evolution Stone...

"It seems that the electricity that I have accumulated with great difficulty will not be retained."

After just a cursory glance, Chihong resisted the urge to buy something and murmured with emotion.

　Asking for a monthly ticket~
　　There will be more in a while~
