Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 472 Quartz Conference and Rewards (asking for monthly tickets~)

Overnight, news about the virtual game "Pokémon World" spread all over the world like a swarm of locusts.

At first, people didn't quite understand what virtual games were, and they didn't know why the Straw Hat Pirates suddenly changed direction at this critical juncture and came up with such a thing.

After all, during this period of time, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army have been roaming around the world, constantly attacking those powerful forces who attempted to join the World Government.

Everyone thought that the world was about to undergo a brand new transformation, and that the ocean would enter a multi-legged tripod situation...

But at this time, the Straw Hat Pirates suddenly came up with a so-called game! ?
For a moment, everyone felt their brains buzzing.

It's like seeing a top student get amazing scores in the college entrance examination. Just when everyone is guessing whether he will choose Peking University or Tsinghua University or study abroad next, he suddenly says he wants to go to Lanxiang!

At this time, the Straw Hat Pirates' actions seemed so outrageous to everyone.

But it is precisely because of this that people's discussion about the "Pokemon Game" has become even more intense.

Everyone is curious about what this virtual game is that caused the Straw Hat Pirates to suddenly change direction.
The more people learn about it, the more curious they become about the Pokémon game.

In addition, the price of ordinary virtual helmets is not high, and many people are already preparing to save money and buy the first helmet.

Finally, under the attention of the whole world, the first batch of virtual helmets and virtual game cabins were officially launched seven days before the game was launched.

At the same time, an official certification message from the Straw Hat Pirates directly pushed the popularity of this game to a climax.

Half a year later, the virtual game "Pokémon World" will launch a server-wide event - the Quartz Conference!
When players collect 8 badges in the Kanto region of "Pokémon World", they will be eligible to participate in the Quartz Conference.

In the conference, players who rank 16-32 will receive a tiered bonus of 1000 million to 2000 million Baileys.

The prize money for 8th to 16th place is 5000 million to 1.2 million Baileys.

4th to 8th place will receive 2 million to 5 million Beli and a random animal-type devil fruit ability.

The third place winner of this Quartz Conference will not only receive 8 million Beli provided by the Straw Hat Pirates, but can also choose any devil fruit ability from the Straw Hat Pirates' list of Class C fruits.

The runner-up will receive a prize of 12 Baileys and can choose any devil fruit ability from the list of B and C grade fruits.

As for the champion of this Quartz Conference, he will not only receive a basic bonus of 20 billion Baileys, but can also choose a devil fruit ability from the list of A, B, and C fruits, and will also receive a mysterious gift provided by the Straw Hat Pirates.

When this news was released, Chihong directly asked someone to display the lists of the three levels of fruits, A, B and C.

In general, the C-level list includes some ordinary animal-type fruits and a small number of superhuman devil fruits, such as the Whispering Fruit, which have little direct impact on combat effectiveness.

These fruits are almost unwanted in the Straw Hat Pirates, and most of them are used as materials for cloning fruit experiments.

However, just because the Straw Hat Pirates don't care doesn't mean the outside world won't care.

Even though it is listed as the lowest level C-class list, there are still many eye-catching fruit abilities among them.

As for the Class B list, it is exactly the opposite of Class C.

This list has a large number of superhuman fruits and a small number of animal fruits.

Many parahuman devil fruits that once became famous on the sea appear on this list.

For example, the String-String Fruit, which disappeared after Doflamingo's death, is on this list.

The animal-related abilities that make it into the Class B list are naturally extremely powerful and precious, and most of them are rare ancient species.

Even if it is an ordinary animal type, it is a fruit form of a powerful one in nature, such as a tiger or a lion.

Just this list of B-level fruit abilities is enough to attract strong people from all over the world.

Not to mention, above Class B, there is an even more terrifying Class A list!

Let’s put it this way, the natural fruit can only be regarded as the minimum threshold to enter Class A.

The A-level list includes various natural fruit abilities and some powerful superhuman ones.

Besides that, what makes people feel even crazier is the Mythical Beast Fruit!!! When the list of these three fruit abilities appeared, the whole world went completely crazy.

Some people who originally sneered at the so-called virtual games immediately placed orders for virtual gaming devices.

And because it was clearly stated during the sale that the gaming pod would have more advantages than the gaming helmet, the gaming pod, which was originally priced outrageously, was sold in five-digit order quantities.

The price of one is 3000W Bailey, including the nutrient solution required for the game cabin...

The profit from just one gaming cabinet is more than 3000 million Baileys!

And this number continues to increase!

Plus the benefits of those gaming helmets…

In just a few days, hundreds of billions of Baileys in profits entered the Straw Hat Pirates' accounts.

Such a huge income even made Nami give up the several businesses under her name and devote all her efforts to helping Red handle this Pokémon game project.

……

……

"Chihong, you are a genius! A genius in every sense of the word!!!"

Pokémon Sea, Technology Island.

Looking at the endless stream of profits being incorporated into his scientific research project fund according to the previously agreed percentage, at this moment, even the knowledgeable and dedicated Vegapunk could not help but excitedly raise his red wine glass and praise Chihong.

Although the virtual game project was designed by him personally, the various theoretical foundations and frameworks involved all came from Chihong's own inspiration.

Even the Pokémon games and related data were brought by Red himself.

It can be said that even if there was no Vegapunk, this project would have a high probability of being successfully completed if it was handed over to Caesar, Judge, Quinn and others.

The only difference may be how much time it takes.

However, it was this imaginative operation that accumulated a large amount of economic foundation for the Straw Hat Pirates.

From now on, the "Pokémon Game" is the "Heavenly Gold" of the Straw Hat Pirates.

This income alone is enough for the Straw Hat Pirates to enjoy endless wealth and glory.

"Haha, without the doctor's wisdom, Pokémon World would not have been able to be completed so exquisitely."

Chihong, who also raised his glass, responded with a laugh.

In fact, he hadn't expected gaming equipment to be so profitable.

After all, he didn't even plan to make a profit from this game in the beginning. He just wanted to rewrite the rules and structure of this world, break the inherent deadlock, and create a world where the Straw Hat Pirates can leave with peace of mind.

By the way, I also want to see if the Pirate World can use the method of condensing the power of fruits through the will of living beings to create real Pokémon for this world.

I didn't expect that under such a huge and complete industrial system, they could make so much profit just by selling the equipment.

I can only say that games really make money!
Next, neither of the two pragmatic people continued to flatter each other.

Instead, Chihong and Vegapunk simultaneously focused their gazes on the large screen in front of them.

Three minutes later, the "Pokemon Game" will be officially launched.

At this moment, they are just like those prospective players who have brought their gaming devices early and are ready to enter the game, all looking forward to the arrival of this game.

Just like that, the countdown to 3.2.1 ends...

A brand new world and a brand new ecology have come to life in the world of pirates, bringing a little Pokémon shock to this non-violence and non-cooperation world~!
