Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 367 Job-hopping
Are you so happy about a mere artificial devil fruit?
Could this be a parahuman-type artificial devil fruit?
Thinking of the supplies he had given to Lao Bei at that time, Xia Che's face showed an excited expression, and he quickly asked his guess.

only.

"Of course not!" Old Bei squinted at Xia Che, stuck out his tongue, and said unhappily, "The superhuman artificial devil fruit currently only exists in the green-blood stage, and is only suitable for cyborgs and artificial humans. Speaking of which, the cyborg exoskeleton ability of the Vinsmoke family is also a superhuman ability in some ways, so maybe we can study it!"

"Let's talk business!" Xia Che looked at Lao Bei, who was about to burst into inspiration again, and said unhappily, "So, this is another animal-type artificial devil fruit?"

"That's right. This is the artificial devil fruit of the gorilla. After eating it, not only can you transform into a gorilla, but you can also have the strength and physique of a gorilla!"

"..."

So, an artificial devil fruit, what are you so proud of?
But before Xia Che could say anything.

"Artificial devil fruit?"

Kuzan and Reiju next to them also looked up curiously.

"Artificial Devil Fruit - Orangutan. I didn't expect that the artificial Devil Fruit would actually be successful." Kuzan sighed, then frowned, as if he remembered something. "Come to think of it, the World Government also conducted research on artificial Devil Fruits a few years ago, and I heard that they even created a mythical beast artificial Devil Fruit, but later they said it was a failure!"

"Oh, come to think of it, this research was also conducted by Vegapunk at the time. Who would have thought that you would succeed now?"

After saying this in a complicated tone, he seemed to sense something, looked at the two people in front of him with strange expressions, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing!"

“Hahaha, pink actually looks pretty too!”

"???"

Looking at the two strange looking people, Kuzan frowned again. He always felt that these two guys... no, and Lao Bei's clones were also a little weird!

But before he could speak.

"By the way, let's get down to business!" Xia Che brought the topic back to the topic, looked at Lao Bei, frowned and asked, "So, you are so happy about an artificial devil fruit made by an orangutan? Are you here to defraud funds?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"..."

"Okay! I won't hide it from you. I do plan to ask you to increase your funding." Seeing Xia Che's eyes, Lao Bei coughed twice a little embarrassedly, and then said seriously, "But what I want to talk about is not this artificial devil fruit, but... Ding Ding Ding, this machine!"

He stretched out his hands and presented the machine that Pythagoras had pushed out beside him.

"As long as you put in the appropriate materials, you can make artificial devil fruit seeds. After planting, you can get finished artificial devil fruits!"

"You mean..."

"Yes, this thing can greatly increase the speed of creating artificial devil fruits." Vegapunk nodded, and was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of Xia Che and others, and said, "But..."

With a helpless tone, "Even if we get the seeds, the planting rate is not high, so the cost has not been reduced much, and it is currently limited to ordinary animal series. As for the mythical beasts... it is still quite troublesome, and this machine cannot complete it for the time being!"

"No, this is enough! This is really a good product!" Xia Che nodded with satisfaction, looking at the machine in front of him with shining eyes, then touched his chin, as if thinking about something, raised his head and looked at Lao Bei, and said, "But will planting this thing cause pollution to the environment? Are the planting requirements high? In addition, if it is a failed product, will there be any danger if eaten? For example...laughing?"

"What are you talking about? Although this machine is not as good as mine, how can the things I made be harmful? If there is, I will never take it out." As if feeling that he was looked down upon, Lao Bei looked at Xia Che with dissatisfaction, but as if he remembered something, "No!"

He looked at Xia Che suspiciously, "Have you seen Caesar's research? That guy also did research on artificial devil fruits at the time, but I always felt that his research was quite bad and dangerous, so I rejected it! How did you know?!"

Then he waved his hand and said unhappily, "Forget it. Why am I asking this? You always know some weird information."

He pointed at the machine again.

"In order to reduce costs as much as possible, I let it be born in the form of seeds. However, as I said just now... the planting rate is not high, but if it is unsuccessful, it will not germinate, and the planting process will not pollute the environment. And this..."

He raised the fruit in his hand again.

"I planted it myself. Of course, if you have any other ideas, you can tell me and I can modify it!"

"No need! This is enough!" Xia Che smiled and shook his head, looking at Lao Bei, "I have to say, another good product has arrived!"

“So, the funding…”

"add!"

With the unexpected gain, Xia Che also agreed to give Lao Bei some more funding.

No matter how much he was given, Lao Bei always felt that the funds were not enough.

After taking a closer look at the artificial devil fruit machine and discussing the focus of future research, Xia Che didn't say anything else and left with Reiju.

As for Cyrus and Kuzan...

Cyrus still had to be tested.

This is still quite troublesome, and they will be going back to Dressrosa in the next two days, so he hopes to complete it as soon as possible.

They have been out of the country for too long!
As for Kuzan... the training of the new player still requires some of his data. Of course, compared to Cyrus, it is not troublesome, so I guess he can go back after a while.

Xia Che took Reiju and walked back. Looking at the scenery they had come from... Reiju couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

She originally thought that she was doomed, but unexpectedly, it actually helped her optimize her genes.

What an unexpected guy!
only.

What should she do now?
Or... go back to the Vinsmoke family?
Now it seems that the mission has failed!

Just when Reiju was thinking about what to do.

"Plu-Plu!"

The Den Den Mushi that had been returned to her started to ring. "?!"

When Reiju heard the ringtone of Den Den Mushi, her heart trembled, and she immediately realized that it was a phone call. She stopped unconsciously and her face became gloomy, as if she didn't want to answer the call.

But just when she was silent.

"Answer it! Why don't you answer it?"

"I..." Reiju turned her head to look at Xia Che and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But she didn't wait for her to speak.

"What are you afraid of? You can just say that we discovered your plan and your stuff was stolen. But let me tell you, after you go back, just do what you need to do. Of course, if you stay, I will keep my promise and protect you." Xia Che looked at her with a vigilant face, "But if you go back, we will not refund the medical expenses and the snails!"

"..."

This guy……

Is this what she's worried about?

Reiju looked speechlessly at the leader of the East China Sea Navy who seemed to be worried that she would ask for a refund, but she had to admit that after he made such a fuss, her originally frightened heart felt a lot more relieved.

Asylum?
I couldn't help but think of what Mr. Vegapunk said in my mind: "What's more important is what choice you make in your heart!" After a moment of silence, I smiled charmingly and said, "Captain Xia Che, aren't you afraid that after I go back, I will expose the news that Vegapunk is here?"

"It's not a big problem. There are countless people coveting the East China Sea Navy. We don't have to worry about another Vinsmoke family." Xia Che touched his chin, his eyes twinkling slightly. "To be honest, I'm looking forward to the return of the Vinsmoke family. I heard that the Vinsmoke family is quite wealthy!"

"Captain Xia Che is really..." Reiju looked at Xia Che, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know what to say, but she still showed a happy smile on her face, and seemed to be very happy.

"I know what to do."

Having said that, this time without any hesitation, he directly answered the phone.

And as if because the call was connected too late, Judge's dissatisfied voice came from the other end, "Reiju, you..."

But before he could finish his words.

"Stop!" Reiju interrupted her without hesitation, took a deep breath, and said with a charming smile on her face, "Don't call me again in the future, father, I am already the boss's man!"

"???"

Without waiting for Jiazhi who was standing on the opposite side in a daze to say anything.

"dududu~"

Reiju hung up the Den Den Mushi directly, then turned her head to look at Xia Che who was also stunned, threw a wink, and said charmingly, "Boss, it seems that I am also unemployed. I wonder if I can find a job here with you!"

The words fell.

Xia Che: ...

He looked at her with a dark face.

No, you can just change jobs if you want, why are you trying to smear me?

……

And the other side.

"?!"

Even though the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Judge still didn't come to his senses and just stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Iji and the other two seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with their father. After looking at each other, they asked, "Did Reiju fail?!"

"What a loser! Didn't you say you were confident in your charm?"

"Forget it, father, let Reiju come back! Our situation here isn't that good either, let her come back and help us!"

however.

When facing the three sons.

"She, she..." Judge also came back to his senses, with a gloomy face, as if he was suppressing his inner anger, and said in a low voice, "She can't come back!"

"???"

Can’t come back?
what happened?

Could it be that he was killed by the East China Sea Navy because he was exposed?
Just as the three of them frowned.

Judge said in a low and angry tone, "Reiju has become a plaything of the East Sea Navy!"

"?!"

what does it mean!

Then he ignored his three silly sons who had their eyes wide open.

"It's only been a few days, and you even dared to disobey my orders!" Judge's face turned blue and black. Finally, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and directly crushed the Den Den Mushi in his hand. With a complicated and gloomy tone, he said, "We all underestimated him. The ability of the leader of the East China Sea Navy..."

"It's really so terrifying!"
