Under One Person, the system says I'm the Pirate King.

Qin Lang's intuition told him that he couldn't accept this kneeling.

Because Zhang Chulan is the main character of this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

If I were to be forced to kneel before him here.

It's very likely that this will cause him to draw attention away from Zhang Chulan and onto himself.

Although he said he was not afraid, Lu Jin personally instructed him to keep a low profile at this conference.

By committing this crime against the wind, it will definitely be detrimental to his stay in the Lu family.

Without much hesitation, Qin Lang grabbed Zhang Chulan by the collar and broke the secret technique of Longhu Mountain.

At that moment, his system suddenly responded:

[The host truly lives up to his reputation as the man destined to become the Pirate King.]

Even Monkey D. Luffy, who possesses the Nika Fruit, had to bow down before his host.

Mission triggered!

Recruiting a third crew member: Monkey D. Luffy.

Rewards: Fourth companion: Nico Robin, combat power 100 points, 5 random Devil Fruit fragments, 1 Poneglyph fragment, 10 system lottery draws.

The sudden appearance of this new task puzzled Qin Lang.

This was the third time he had met Zhang Chulan.

Why didn't the quest trigger the first two times?

Moreover, the reward for this mission is quite bizarre. Feng Baobao gave it to herself as a prize, and the other rewards were double those for recruiting Lü Liang, including precious fragments of historical texts.

Does it mean buy one get one free?

However, he didn't have time to think too much.

Since this guy dared to sell me out, I'll have to teach him a lesson first. As for the recruitment mission, I still need to figure out how to proceed.

"Brother Qin, I was wrong!"

Zhang Chulan, who was lifted to his feet, did not straighten up, but instead bowed and scraped to Qin Lang to admit his mistake.

"No, no, no, how can I, a mere member of the Lu family, accept such a grand gesture from Zhang Chulan, the successor of the Qi Source lineage!"

When Qin Lang mentioned "Zhang Chulan, the successor of the Qi Body Source", he deliberately raised his voice.

And for this reason, all the strange people who were passing by turned their attention to this place:

"That's Zhang Chulan?"

Why do you look so pathetic?

"That's the successor of the Qi Source Stream?"

The surrounding chatter and glances made Zhang Chulan immediately realize Qin Lang's plan.

He originally intended to come quietly, without attracting everyone's attention.

The plan fell through in the blink of an eye.

[Hate level with Monkey D. Luffy increased by 3, rewarding 30 bond points.]

"Brother Qin, I was really wrong."

As he spoke, his tone became even more humble, and he once again tried to kneel down before Qin Lang.

But Qin Lang grabbed him by the collar, and this time lowered his voice and said:

"What you owe me isn't something that can be resolved with just a knee slide."

However, I'm quite curious, what kind of spell did this crazy woman cast on you to make you so obedient and listen to her, even coming to this dangerous place for her sake?

Qin Lang spoke tactfully, but directly pointed out that Zhang Chulan's trip to Longhu Mountain was for Feng Baobao.

After exchanging a few words, Qin Lang also began to consider Zhang Chulan's situation.

He figured that Lü Liang had already been captured and taken back to Lü Family Village, so logically, Lü Liang wouldn't have had the chance to extract Zhang Huaiyi's memories from his body.

Moreover, because of his appearance, Quanxing probably didn't capture Zhang Chulan; he was recruited by the company.

Lü Liang also didn't have the chance to give Zhang Huaiyi his memories.

Then Zhang Chulan should still be deceived by Xu San and Xu Si, unaware of the truth, and forced to come to Longhu Mountain.

However, judging from Zhang Chulan's attitude towards Feng Baobao just now, as well as the new task issued by the system, it seems that this is not the case.

Qin Lang recalled that Feng Baobao had been present on the two previous times he had met Zhang Chulan.

However, this was the only time the mission was activated, and Feng Baobao was also included in the mission rewards as a side effect of recruiting Zhang Chulan, which likely indicates that their relationship has changed.

Just like in the world of One Piece, Robin was originally Luffy's enemy, but after joining the Straw Hat crew and experiencing the Enies Lobby incident, she wholeheartedly followed Luffy.

Thinking back to the original work of Under One Person, Qin Lang met the two people twice: once at the cemetery and once at the World Society.

At that time, Zhang Chulan was probably still Feng Baobao's slave.

In the original work, later on, Zhang Chulan sees Feng Baobao injured because of him in the World Society, and then receives the last memory of his grandfather from Lü Liang, and only then does he learn the secret about Feng Baobao from Xu Xiang.

According to information obtained from Fatty, Xu Xiang, the former head of the North China region of Na Du Tong, passed away a few days ago, and some members of the Lu family attended the funeral.

Perhaps something happened that you don't know about.

Another point worth noting is that when the system met Zhang Chulan before, it did not mention the "Nika Fruit".

But this time it was brought up specifically.

Could it be because Zhang Chulan didn't have the "Nika Fruit" before, and only got it now?

After all, in the original work, he obtained the Old Farmer's Skill during this period.

That's why he deliberately wanted to test Zhang Chulan.

This was also to make some preparations for recruiting him.

"Brother Qin, what joke are you talking about? I'm just here to join in the fun."

Zhang Chulan immediately changed the subject, preventing the conversation from returning to Feng Baobao.

Seeing this, Qin Lang's suspicions were confirmed, so he did not pursue the matter further.

"Oh? So you're not here to become a Celestial Master?"

Before Zhang Chulan could answer, Qin Lang's hand was suddenly grabbed by a delicate, fair hand, and a female voice with a Sichuan accent sounded beside him:

"He came here to become a Heavenly Master, and I'm here to help him deal with his opponents who are getting in his way."

These words once again drew the attention of those around them.

Even Lu Linglong, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "Is this girl very capable?"

Liu Yanyan whispered, "She's incredibly tough to deal with. I've fought her before, and she took care of my zombie with ease. She's almost as tough as Brother Qin Lang."

"Really? That's really impressive."

Zhang Chulan, his face covered in cold sweat, looked at Feng Baobao and said, "Big sister, please say less."

Qin Lang released Zhang Chulan and simultaneously put his other hand into his pocket.

Zhang Chulan tensed up and grabbed Qin Lang's hand:

"Brother Qin, I was wrong just now. I'll do anything you ask, just don't fight here. We're comrades who were buried in the same pit!"

At this moment, Zhang Chulan deeply regretted betraying Qin Lang.

Feng Baobao in front of me wouldn't lie.

He wasn't stupid; he sensed that Qin Lang was testing him.

Therefore, he was very afraid that Feng Baobao would reveal some big secret in the next sentence.

As a result, Qin Lang took out a string of red beads from his pocket and looked at Feng Baobao:

"I just met a master on the front mountain. He said that this red glass string was made by his grandmaster after he fought a fire qilin for 80,000 rounds and killed it with his staff.

Wearing it can prolong life.

I saw that you really wanted it, and the master said that there was only one in the world, so I bought it.

I'd really like to be friends with you. I bought it for 998, but I'll round it down to 1000 for you, and then we'll be friends.

"I want it! I want it! I want it!!"

Feng Baobao instantly pulled out a wad of red banknotes from her pocket and handed them to Qin Lang.

[Affection with Nico Robin +15, reward 150 Bond Points.]

[Hate level with Tashigi increased by 5, and a bond level of 50 is awarded.]

[Affection with Smoker +2, reward 20 Bond Points.]

Qin Lang naturally understood that in front of so many people, he could only scare Zhang Chulan a little and that was it; he couldn't say anything more.

It's clear that Feng Baobao hasn't been trained by Zhang Chulan yet.

Perhaps if I say a few more words, I'll be exposed.

Since the system has identified her as a partner, her secret must not be revealed.

That's why I deliberately changed the subject, and also to see if I could earn some affinity points.

Liu Yanyan, standing to the side, was stunned to see that the broken bead actually sold for a thousand.

"There really are fools who would buy that!"
