We were supposed to be following the daily life of anime, why is it the end of the world?

As the crack expanded rapidly, a translucent worm suddenly split out from his palm.

The translucent insect leaped its soft body in his palm, and its slender tentacles explored left and right, then slid down along Lin Moze's fingers.

Gao Renchanghao watched everything that was happening before his eyes, and his expression suddenly became more terrified.

He tried to struggle to get up, trying to escape from this strange disaster, but the severe pain in his body and the exhaustion of his strength made him lie there powerlessly, watching the translucent insect approaching step by step.

When the insect slid silently to the back of his neck, Gao Ren Changhao's eyes were filled with fear and despair.

He wanted to scream, to beg for mercy, but his throat was choked with fear and he could only make meaningless shouts.

Then, the insect moved silently like a ghost, instantly getting close to his skin, and then like a sharp arrow, it instantly drilled into the flesh on the back of his neck.

This bug is a degraded version developed by Lin Moze based on the enhanced bug, and it does not have any enhanced effects.

It has only one function, which is to devour and replace the enemy's spine, and then - it will no longer perform its original function.

Gao Renchanghao wanted to reach out and touch his neck, but suddenly, an unprecedented feeling of numbness spread rapidly from the back of his neck to his whole body like a tide.

His fingers lost feeling first, as if they were frozen by ice and snow, stiff and numb.

Then, this feeling of coldness and loneliness spread like a plague along his arms, engulfing his chest, abdomen, and legs.

He tried to move his fingers, clench his fists, and even tried to bend his knees, but all his efforts were like hitting nothingness, with no response. His body seemed to be stripped of its life connection in an instant, leaving only panic and confusion surging wildly in his brain.

Gao Renchanghao stared upward with his eyes wide open. Lin Moze's face, which looked like a demon at the moment, was reflected in his pupils. He begged for mercy in fear:

"Please, please don't do this. I am willing to repent and kowtow to you. My ability is very useful. I have a lot of supplies in my body, dozens of survivors, and more than a dozen beautiful women..."

"I know, the Castle Fruit, right? It's a very useful ability, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten here so quickly."

Lin Moze shook his head and interrupted him: "You know what? Actually, on the way here, I actually thought about sparing your life and taking you in as a dog."

"I am willing to do this. I am willing to do this! It is my honor to be a dog for a strong man like you!"

Gao Renchanghao didn't care about the issue of dignity at the moment. All he was thinking about was how to survive.

“But in the end I gave up.”

Unfortunately, Lin Moze's last words ruthlessly wiped out the last bit of luck in his heart:

"Compared to subduing an unstable factor like you, I think it would be better to try to extract your abilities from your body."

"You, you TM..."

Gao Renchanghao, whose mentality had collapsed, finally couldn't help it and seemed to want to vent something, but with Lin Mozhe's intention, he was completely deprived of the strength to speak.

Afterwards, Lin Moze found the metal box that he had punched through before, touched it with his hand, and found that the material was indeed iron metal. He happily converted it into points.

It was also at this moment that he suddenly thought that if he had deceived the guy just now and let him exchange all his points for extraordinary materials, he might be able to earn some extra income.

But then he thought again, the other party is not a fool. If you just ask him to hand over something, even the most naive person probably won't do it obediently.

If he had to spend a lot of time pretending to be nice to this guy just for some points, it would be better for him to find an opportunity to kill more monsters.

So forget it.

While he was thinking about it, Kiyako Kamigo finally rushed over from the building opposite.

Seeing Gao Renchanghao falling to the ground, he wanted to find a rope to tie him up, but was stopped by Lin Moze.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. There are other ways to deal with him."

Lin Moze said this, stretched out two fingers, and a card appeared in his hand.

124 Ability Extraction

On the way here, Lin Moze had been thinking about how to make the most of the ability of the Fortress Fruit.

Originally, he wanted to see if he could subdue the other party, but the other party was suspected of being the murderer who killed a group of exploration team members. If he wiped out the other party's guilt so easily, it would easily cause instability among the people.

But if he were to use cruel means to torture him before taming him, the opponent himself would become the biggest destabilizing factor, and Lin Moze would not feel at ease.

So his thinking pattern quickly changed.

What is important to him is the Fortress Fruit, not the person with this ability. Since he doesn't want to conquer the other party, he should find a way to preserve his ability and then kill this person.

Coincidentally, the Star Lucky Guy had previously promised him a gift service worth 50,000 points, which he could use directly.

Although the actual transaction between the two parties has not been completed, Lin Moze has also paid some deposits. In addition, Star Luck also wanted to increase its investment in him, so this matter is not a problem.

Then, after some communication with the other party, he successfully obtained the props he wanted.

〖Name: Devil Fruit Ability Extraction Card (One-time)〗

[Type: Props]

Description: A special item made by a formal member of the Plane Merchants Alliance who does not want to reveal his name. It contains the power to seize the power of the Devil Fruit. After seizing it, you can choose to give the power of the Devil Fruit to a new person or object.

[Features: Attach the card to the Devil Fruit user and use it actively. The power of the Devil Fruit will be extracted. The target needs to be unconscious or seriously injured when using it, otherwise there is a high probability of failure. When releasing it again, you need to choose a single individual with a macroscopic sense.]

[Remarks: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!]

This theft card has great limitations and can only be used by Devil Fruit users, but there are not too many of them in the Plane Merchant Alliance.

Lin Moze took Gao Ren Changhao, who was powerless to resist and unable to move, to the empty rooftop and stuck the card on him.

Instantly, a black mist as thick as ink surged out from the card, like activated smoke, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.

This black fog is as if substantial. It entangles, spreads, and penetrates, instantly wrapping the enemy's entire body tightly, forming an airtight energy cocoon.

Lin Moze watched all this quietly and roughly understood the source of this card's power. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be related to the legendary Dark-Dark Fruit.

After all, in the original work, only the Dark-Dark Fruit can clearly deprive others of their abilities.

In the black fog, Gao Ren Changhao's screams were suppressed to the extreme, leaving only a faint and distorted sound echoing in the air.

Thick darkness rolled and surged on his body surface, as if it had life, greedily licking every inch of his skin, even penetrating into his bones.

His body twitched violently under the erosion of the black fog, and his bones made creaking sounds, as if invisible hands were tearing and squeezing him from within.

Gao Renchanghao's originally painful and distorted expression gradually solidified, replaced by an unspeakable fear and despair. His struggles became weaker and weaker until he was completely still, as if the last bit of his vitality had been sucked away by the darkness.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. Only the black energy rose and fell like the tide, swallowing everything silently.

Finally, the black mist stopped surging and began to flow back slowly, being sucked into the card bit by bit like the ebbing tide.

Until the last wisp of black mist melted into the surface of the card, the surroundings returned to a brief tranquility.

Looking at Gao Renchanghao again, he was now lifeless, his eyes were empty, his face was as pale as paper, his body was as stiff as a stone, and the original strength in his body was gone, having been taken away by the card along with the rolling darkness.

Instead, the pattern on the card was no longer pitch black, but an image of a devil fruit with a brick-like surface and a castle-like shape.

Just as Lin Moze was about to put the card back into the system panel, a faint red light suddenly flowed on the surface of the card.

Then, the light spread rapidly like ripples and instantly condensed into a translucent film.

Looking at this scene, Lin Moze suddenly remembered something.

When Gao Renchanghao begged for mercy, he mentioned that there were beautiful women and survivors in his body. Now that his abilities have been taken away, will those survivors and supplies in his body die and dissipate together?

Now it seems that it shouldn't be the case.

The edge of the light red film began to fluctuate, as if an invisible vortex was stirring violently inside the film.

Accompanied by subtle senses of spatial distortion, dozens of men and women emerged from the film one by one as if pushed by an invisible force.

Their expressions of surprise, joy, or confusion were instantly frozen in mid-air, and then they were catapulted to the ground on the rooftop by a powerful force, emitting a series of screams and howls of pain.

Along with these people, there also appeared a large variety of food and daily necessities.

Various snacks, bags of rice, flour, and seasonings, pots, pans, clothes, shoes, hats, and other daily necessities emerged from the film like mushrooms after a rain, and soon formed a small mountain.

The rooftop, which originally covered a large area, quickly became narrow after the appearance of these supplies and survivors.

After the initial embarrassment, these survivors who were "vomited out" soon became noisy, negotiating and questioning each other, and some even shouted Gao Renchanghao's name.

Lin Moze didn't have time to calm them down. He directly transformed the biological barrel into a size smaller than normal and fired a shot at the building opposite.

In an instant, the air exploded, dust was stirred up, and accompanied by a deafening roar, the solid wall collapsed instantly under the huge impact force, and rubble flew everywhere.

A clear ray of light penetrated the reinforced concrete barrier and tore a hole in the surface of the building.

It was after this moment that everyone at the scene fell silent.

After experiencing Gao Renchanghao's rule, their biggest gain was that they learned to respect the strong and not to make noise.

Those who were a little more flexible had roughly understood what was happening and became more respectful.

"I'll ask the exploration team to send another group of people over when I get back. You wait here for a while and explain the situation to these people."

Lin Moze instructed Uego Kihiko beside him:

"Take the obedient and sensible ones back home, and leave those who are unwilling to cooperate here to fend for themselves."

125 The Ownership of the Fruits of the Strong City

When Yoshihiko Kamigo met up with the follow-up group of the exploration team and returned with a group of survivors in the castle, Lin Moze had already returned to the gathering place.

After using the cards to test the objects to which the abilities could be transferred, the final decision was made.

The power of the Castle Fruit does not belong to any survivor, but to the Lion King Center Building itself, which currently serves as the main gathering place!

The technique of fusing devil fruits with originally non-living objects has appeared many times in the original One Piece, and there seems to be more than one way to implement it.

There is no size limit for objects that carry the power of devil fruits. Even gases that do not have a solid form can consume a devil fruit.

And in the records of the Plane Merchant Alliance, there are even more similar examples.

According to the description of the Star Lucky One, among the three types of devil fruits, namely, the Animal Type, the Parahuman Type, and the Natural Type, the Animal Type is definitely the most suitable for fusion of objects.

Because animal-type devil fruits can allow objects to produce the most complete biological intelligence, and possessing intelligence naturally means they have the potential to develop their own abilities.

If developed properly, it might even be possible to cultivate an awakened Devil Fruit item.

The parahuman devil fruit is relatively more troublesome, and when fusing with an object, the compatibility between them must be considered.

If you fuse a superhuman Stone-Stone Fruit with a ball of gas, the final result will be absolutely terrible beyond imagination.

However, Lin Moze does not need to worry about this problem. There is no conflict between the Fortified City Fruit and the Lion King Center Building, which is a building itself. It will even produce some positive fusion effects.

But compared to the animal type, the generation of intelligence of objects that have been integrated with the superhuman type devil fruit is a more metaphysical matter.

According to records of some past examples, objects after fusion will also produce some simple intelligence, but the specific degree of intelligence varies. Different environmental influences may produce different effects.

But one thing is certain: no matter how high this self-generated intelligence is, it can't reach the level of the animal-type devil fruit, and it is basically impossible to awaken it.

Although this is a bit of a pity, Lin Moze feels that it can be given up.

The original ability of the Castle Fruit is to transform a human body into a huge castle that can accommodate a pirate group of hundreds or thousands of people.

Now the main body has been replaced with a building that can accommodate thousands of people. Even if the capacity is expanded by dozens of times according to the lowest estimate, it will be a huge scale of tens of thousands of people, which is enough for the early stage of doomsday.

It is still unknown how many survivors can be gathered in the entire Tokyo, so there is no point in aiming too high.

That evening, Lin Moze convened the decision-makers of the gathering place and informed them that he was planning to renovate the Lion King Center Building.

He did not say that the power of the Castle Fruit could be bestowed upon other people, but only said that he had obtained a magical item that could transform the entire building.

......

"In short, this is what happened. After the renovation, the Lion Center Building should undergo earth-shaking changes, so everyone needs to be prepared, calm the emotions of the survivors, and avoid any chaos."

In the conference room, Lin Moze made a final summary and then looked at everyone:

"Do you have anything to add or any other questions?"

"Yes, yes, Teacher Lin——"

Kitagawa Haimeng, who was sitting closest to Lin Moze, raised his hand high and imitated the tone of asking questions in class.

Lin Moze pressed down the white hand that was waving in front of him and said helplessly: "If you have any questions, just ask, Kitagawa-san."

In response, Kitagawa Haimeng playfully stuck out her tongue at him from an angle that only Lin Moze could see, then cleared her throat and her tone became formal:

"You said before that after the renovation, the interior space of the entire building will change. Is it like the magic house in the anime Battle Girls? It looks like a simple hut from the outside, but it is an intricate secret base inside?"

"Although I haven't seen the fighting girl you mentioned, this is the general idea." Lin Moze nodded.

"If that is the case, I would suggest that all personnel be evacuated before the renovation to ensure that no one is left inside the building."

Kitagawa Umi said: "After all, we don't know the building structure after the expansion. If there are hidden passages or secret rooms that are difficult to find and trap people inside, it might be dangerous."

Lin Moze thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "You are right, it is indeed necessary."

"Do the supplies need to be moved together? Will necessary furniture such as beds, tables and chairs be damaged or disappear during the renovation process?"

After Kitagawa's proposal received a positive response, Sayuri Sawamura also asked a question at the right time.
