Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 283 Invitation

However, Vegapunk soon noticed the toy that Lu Chen had just taken out. The style of this toy made Vegapunk, who knew some history, very curious.

He carefully touched the surface of Pluto, then said seriously, "The style of this model seems to come from that lost style. Where did you find it? This must have been made a long time ago."

Vegapunk didn't reveal the exact year. He didn't want others to be eliminated by the World Government because of his own leaks of history.

"I found it in a ruin. Apart from that, there's nothing valuable."

Vegapunk wanted to take the opportunity to study this artifact, which seemed to be from the ancient kingdom, so he stopped expressing any other opinions about Lu Chen's actions. This kind of rare and valuable thing should indeed be handled with caution.

"Where are the ruins? Can you take me there?"

But Quinn didn't notice Pluto. The first thing he saw was the Blue Dragon Fruit.

Thanks to the news spread by Ginny, many pirates with connections knew that there were two very powerful fruits in the Valley of the Gods. And Quinn was obviously one of them.

Therefore, Quinn exclaimed loudly: "This fruit actually fell into your hands! How dare you waste this kind of fruit on this! Your men ate the meat ball fruit, right!"

Instead, Vegapunk immediately retorted, "How can this be a waste? This item is obviously from the Lost Kingdom. Its value is much more precious than a devil fruit."

As he spoke, Vegapunk felt that the treasure should not be wasted like this, so he looked up and said to Lu Chen: "You really shouldn't waste such a precious thing on a devil fruit. It may contain inestimable technology."

It seems that Vegapunk and Quinn have a conflict over the concept of preciousness.

The two began to argue about which one was more important.

Lu Chen interrupted the two people's argument: "I don't think anything is wasted. The two of them should be a perfect match together. So help me with this."

The Pluto and Azure Dragon Fruits were placed on the instrument as before, and the experiment began soon.

Quinn watched helplessly as the Azure Dragon Fruit devoured Hades, then said with regret, "You didn't actually eat the fruit yourself? Oh, yes, you've already eaten the Devil Fruit. So you want to keep it with you this way? I was wondering why someone would waste such a treasure."

Vegapunk also shook his head regretfully and said, "Alas, the opportunity to peek into that period of history was wasted just like that."

Having its own will, this model will definitely not allow itself to be taken apart.

After the experiment, some patterns like dragon scales appeared on Pluto.

Lu Chen impatiently reached out and picked up the Hades, then used his will to transform it into an animal. Because the Hades had been shrunk, the Azure Dragon it had transformed into wasn't very large. Several cold cannon barrels towered over the Azure Dragon.

The combination of the devil fruit and ancient weapons formed a being that could not be said to be a biological being or a machine, but it was obvious that this being was very powerful.

At the same time, due to the hunter's professional skills, Qinglong lay obediently on Lu Chen's shoulder. Lu Chen could easily use his consciousness to command Qinglong to attack and perform a series of actions, and the attack method naturally included the bombardment of Pluto.

The current Pluto was far more powerful than its previous form. This was because it was now alive, and its carrier was the extremely powerful mythical beast Azure Dragon. Quinn examined the toy-like Azure Dragon for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "It's too small. If it had been swallowed by a naval warship, it would have been a formidable force."

Then he asked curiously, "Why don't you go rob a warship? Dragons can fly, so you don't need to worry about being ineffective when encountering seawater. With your strength, robbing a warship should be easy."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I think this carrier is very good. Thank you for your help this time."

Vegapunk asked the previous question: "That's nothing. Now can you tell me the location of the ruins?"

"The ruins have collapsed. This kind of thing is very common on the sea."

"It's a shame, it's a great opportunity to get a glimpse into the country."

Caesar asked in confusion: "What is the Blue Dragon Fruit? Why do you all seem to know about it?"

So Quinn told the confused Caesar the information he had received before. Quinn felt great about the opportunity to show off in front of other scientists.

Lu Chen's first goal in finding the scientists had been achieved. The next step was to see if they could help him gain both fruit abilities. Just as Musashi had said, he would eat one with his substitute, and then eat one with his real body.

So Lu Chen invited them, "Are you willing to work for me? Du Field didn't see your abilities. What he expected was too small."

Vegapunk was the first to express his refusal. "I'm conducting research for the future of humanity, so I won't accept your invitation to study how to create artificial fruit. Besides, this place currently meets my requirements. Perhaps my other colleagues would be interested in your ideas."

He longed for something that no pirate could provide him, even if that pirate dominated a part of the New World. He had already glimpsed a lot through the Devil Fruit provided by Lu Chen. Producing artificial Devil Fruits for a pirate was not in his plan at all.

Lu Chen directly offered his utmost sincerity to this most powerful scientist: "I can support your research without asking any questions. You just need to complete some of my ideas in your spare time. I can provide you with almost unlimited material support."

"You won't restrict my research?"

"Of course not, and I definitely have something you're interested in." After traveling through these worlds, Lu Chen still has some interesting things in his hands. For example, a living holy armor, or a spell tool that can be infinitely extended.

"I'll have to think about it."

Then Lu Chen said to the remaining three people behind Vegapunk, "My conditions for you are the same: research without any restrictions. Believe me, no one else can offer you such good treatment."

Jiazhi declined Lu Chen's invitation, but he wasn't alone. The gains he had made at MADS were enough for him to conduct a series of research.

"I'm going back to my country. Perhaps we can find cooperation from somewhere else."

Lu Chen also agreed very kindly: "Then I hope we can reach cooperation in the future."

As for Judge, who is going back to inherit the Germa Kingdom, Lu Chen thinks that his side may not be very attractive.
