Chapter 26 Daily life at sea
Frustrated, Minos turned around and headed towards the sea, where his "ship" was located!
A short while later, Minos reached the ship. Once aboard, Minos pondered where he should go!
Should we go to Nami's village, Cocoyasi Village, or head directly to the Grand Line?
If we're talking about places teeming with pirates, then the Grand Line and the New World are definitely the places. There are enough pirates there for him to kill for who knows how long.
But Minos's idea was to wander around the East Blue before heading to the Grand Line.
After thinking it over, Minos decided to take a stroll in the East Sea!
Let's go to Cocoyasi Village first, kill a wave of pirates and marines, and then slowly head to the Grand Line!
Earn some kill points, buy a yacht, that would be so comfortable.
And so, Minos, using his superior helmsmanship and navigation skills, steered the ship toward the village of Cocoyasi.
Minos, who was casually lying down on the ship, thought to himself that he hadn't eaten anything since arriving in the pirate world!
But it seems a bit difficult for him to do it himself.
Cough cough, it's not that he can't. It's just that he's too lazy to do it himself.
So Minos said to the system, "Hey system! Can I buy some food from your system shop?"
The system, upon hearing Minos's question, slowly responded.
Ding! This system will say it again! Except for those fantastical things that exist in the real world, which this system does not have, this system has everything.
Well, looking at the system's unwavering certainty, Minos couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, "Isn't this system a bit too absolute?"
But Minos still said, "Give me a super-sized roast chicken, and a serving of '82..."
"beer?"
Ding! This system has received a request from the host. Food items have appeared in the system shop. Please purchase them using your kill points.
Oh!
Hearing the system speak so formally, Minos felt very curious.
Then Minos used his consciousness to look at the shop interface in the system.
The system interface now displays a variety of food items, including common ones like hot pot, grilled fish, roast chicken, and fried rice. (＾v＾)
The key feature is that there's also a beverage section! For example, Coca-Cola, 1982 vintage wine, beer, etc.!
When Minos saw the various foods on the system panel, he felt as if he had returned to the feeling he used to have!
Back on Earth, these things were very common and delicious.
After a casual remark, Minos decided to start with a large roast chicken and a bottle of '82 beer! (＾v＾)
However, when Minos looked at the prices of roast chicken and beer on the system panel, he couldn't hold back anymore.
Minos questioned the system, "Hey system! Isn't there a... hundred million problem with your price?!"
Upon hearing Minos's question, the system responded with its calm voice.
Ding, nothing?
"Heh," Minos sneered and questioned again.
"Then why does a roast chicken cost 50 kill points, while a beer costs 20 kill points!"
In response to Minos's question, the system calmly replied once again.
*Ding, host.* This price is very reasonable! Is there a problem?
Minos was furious. This was definitely a problem, and a very big one at that.
In other words, if he buys a roast chicken and a bottle of beer, he loses his 70 kill points. Doesn't that mean he's essentially a pirate with a 700 million bounty?
Thinking of this, Minos sneered, "The system!"
"That's not fair! It's a bit pricey, isn't it? It's a hundred million yuan too expensive!"
The system remained unmoved despite hearing Minos's words.
*Ding*, Host. My price is already very reasonable.
Ding! Think about it, you ordered a large roast chicken, and you have such a big appetite, so it's reasonable for the price to be a bit higher!
Then, the system spoke earnestly once again.
Ding, host? Sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself.
Ding! Is it because you didn't work hard enough to gain kill points that you can't afford the good food?
Ding, host, you should work harder.
Minos was completely stunned when he saw the system's message.
Doesn't this look familiar? It's like I've heard it somewhere before?
Oops, wrong channel (＾v＾).
Especially the last point, where the system earnestly reminded him to work hard to gain kill points, really left him speechless.
So, he can't afford food, and he's blaming himself for not working hard enough to gain kill points!
In the end, Minos sighed. He gritted his teeth and bought a large roast chicken and a bottle of 1982 beer.
In an instant, a huge roasted chicken and a large bottle of beer appeared on Minos's ship.
Minos also exited the system panel and saw the food in front of him. For some reason, he had a feeling that it was a good deal. Why was that?
Minos happily ate his roast chicken and drank his beer. However, he was still a little annoyed that the system had deducted 70 kill points from him.
Minos thought to himself, "It seems that getting a yacht is now urgent. I have to get one, otherwise the system will bankrupt me sooner or later."
……
While Minos was enjoying a comfortable life on the ship, Usopp, who had fainted in Robusta village, awoke.
Usopp, who had just woken up, was completely bewildered and didn't understand why he was lying on the ground.
Then comes a very familiar plot: a headache, and then he remembers?
Usopp remembered that he had encountered someone before, and then he was defeated?
Suddenly, Usopp remembered the man in black who said Kaya's butler was a pirate!
This made Usopp very worried. He rushed to Kaya's house, repeatedly saying, "Kaya, please don't let anything happen to you!"
When Usopp arrived at Kaya's house, he saw the door open, but there was no sound from inside, which startled him. He muttered desperately, "Has Kaya already been harmed?"
With this feeling of despair, Usopp walked shakily into Kaya's house.
As soon as he entered, Usopp saw the butler (Kroo) lying on the ground.
This puzzled him. Wasn't this butler supposed to be a pirate? How come he's lying on the ground now?
Usopp, his mind sharpening again, remembered the person in black clothes and a cloak, who seemed to have come looking for him and the pirates!
Could it be that the pirate lying on the ground in front of us was the one who did it?
The more Usopp thought about it, the more convinced he became, and the despair in his heart slowly subsided.
He thought to himself, "If that person didn't kill him, they probably won't kill Kaya either!"
With this in mind, Usopp prepared to go upstairs.
But when he looked upstairs, he saw Kaya lying on the stairwell.
This prompted Usopp to rush to Kaya's side and check if she was alright.
When he saw that Kaya was still breathing, the despair in his heart completely dissipated.
