Chapter 520: Egghead x Artificial Devil Fruit

Xia Jieren had no intention of recruiting Caesar Courant. His only value was the knowledge in his head.

It’s no wonder Xia Jieren had such thoughts. It’s really Caesar Courant who is not doing his job.

Xia Jieren only paid a little attention to Caesar Courant, then ignored him and waited quietly for news from Vegapunk.

a few days later.

Vegapunk sent back a message. After unremitting efforts, he finally convinced the Five Elders to build a new research institute on an island called Egghead in the near future.

[Egghead] is also known as [Egghead Island]. It is located in the [New World] in the second half of the [Grand Line] and is affiliated to the [World Government].

Today, [Eigerhead] is desolate, but it is not difficult to hear the excitement in Vegapunk's tone.

Vegapunk plans to make a big move and build Egghead into what he wants it to be.

However, it is not easy.

Although it is unknown what Vegapunk promised to the Five Elders, the surveillance of Vegapunk will definitely be stricter.

Vegapunk contacted the Kingdom of the Netherlands this time with the intention of asking for money. After all, whether it was building an island or conducting scientific research, it would require a huge amount of financial support.

The World Government's funding is limited, and it is only enough for Vegapunk to complete the research required by the World Government, with not much left.

Vegapunk also understood his embarrassing situation and had decided to wait until he had time to develop some powerful weapons and rob the pirates passing by.

Of course, all this needs to wait until things stabilize.

Vegapunk briefly explained his current situation and then asked for money without hesitation.

Xia Jieren was not at all annoyed by Vegapunk's unreasonable attitude. Instead, he was very happy.

I'm not afraid of Vegapunk making demands, I'm just afraid of him not making any.

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren curled the corners of his mouth slightly and made a decision in his heart.

He turned to look at Kerrigan and said, "Promise him!"

"I want the [Artificial Devil Fruit] technology! The complete technology!"

Hearing this, Kerrigan's lips curled up, and she immediately understood Xia Jieren's intention.

Upon hearing the request from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Vegapunk fell into silence for a short while.

In his opinion, the [artificial devil fruit] technology has flaws, but it is still a technology that cannot be spread at will.

Vegapunk was a little conflicted about whether to give it to the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

The [Netherlands Kingdom] is strong and has abundant resources. Once it obtains the [Artificial Devil Fruit] technology, it will surely be able to produce it in large quantities in a very short time.

After thinking for a long time, Vegapunk nodded.

Perhaps out of confidence in his own strength, or for other reasons, Vegapunk did not falsify the technical data of the [Artificial Devil Fruit].

"Got it!" Kerrigan said happily.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jieren grinned and was in a good mood.

"Vegapunk needs 500 billion Baileys, right? Give it to him! And give him another 100 billion!" Xia Jieren was very generous. billion Baileys were just a drop in the bucket for him.

Kerrigan nodded and sent a message to Vegapunk: "600 billion Baileys will be transferred to your Shadow Bank account in one day, please check!"

On the other hand, Vegapunk was very happy when he learned that the research funding had been increased by 100 billion, and he became more and more certain that his deal with the Kingdom of the Netherlands was correct.

With this funding, the ideal "future world" will be presented in the hands of Vegapunk.

The technical data of [Artificial Devil Fruit] is very large and it takes some time to transmit the data.

Xia Jieren couldn't wait to ask Kerrigan to mobilize computing power, verify the accuracy of the data, and master the technology.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Jieren ordered: "Kerrigan, expand the number of [unintelligent brainworms] and [brainworms]."

"How much is appropriate?" Kerrigan asked Xia Jieren for his opinion.

"【Non-intelligent brain worms】1000 million, 【brain worms】1." Xia Jieren didn't think much about it.

But with only 100 billion energies, this is no pressure for the Zerg.

As if he had thought of something, Xia Jieren said, "Kerrigan, lock on to the location of Egghead. Place scouts and satellite bugs nearby to keep track of Vegapunk's movements at all times."

"Okay!" Kerrigan nodded slightly, then said hesitantly, "After the research institute is built, the reconnaissance results may not be satisfactory."

Places like research institutes have very strict requirements on hygiene. Not to mention flies and other insects, even [reconnaissance spores] would find it difficult to sneak in.

"Yeah! I know!" Xia Jieren expressed his understanding.

He lowered his eyes and thought about the solution.

After a while, Xia Jieren thought of a [Devil Fruit].

[Gaze Fruit], whose ability user is Violet, the former princess of [Dressrosa Kingdom]. The ability of the fruit is the ability to see through objects and see through people's hearts.

It is said that its maximum visibility extends to thousands of kilometers, making it a powerful reconnaissance weapon.

"If this ability is loaded onto the [Satellite Worm], then..." Xia Jieren's body trembled slightly when he thought of this scene.

After a moment, Xia Jieren calmed down and sighed, "What a pity! [Artificial Devil Fruit] technology is currently unable to produce [Metahuman Devil Fruit]."

As for killing Violet and taking the [Glaring Fruit], Xia Jieren had no idea at all.

If the user of the Staring Fruit was a big man who picked his feet, Xia Jieren would definitely attack without saying anything. But Violet was a beauty, and he couldn't do that.

Since he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, Xia Jieren stopped worrying about it and threw the problem to Kerrigan.

The next day.

Xia Jieren and Vegapunk both got what they wanted, and they both started to implement their plans.

"Kerrigan, how long do you think it will take to fully master the technology related to [Artificial Devil Fruit]?" Xia Jieren asked, trying to suppress his inner excitement.

"Two days!" Kerrigan gave the answer without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Xia Jieren's eyes showed surprise. This was much shorter than he expected.

The Zerg are indeed experts in playing with genes. Even though they are now in decline, they are still so powerful.

"Okay! Then I won't bother you anymore!" Xia Jieren nodded heavily and left [Heart Network].

With excitement in his heart, Xia Jieren found Litte and Robin to share his joy.

Xia Jieren was happy, so of course he wanted to make the two women happy too.

However, this time, Xia Jieren didn't control the strength well, causing the two women to faint from excitement. Seeing this, he touched his head awkwardly, thinking about strengthening the bodies of the two women.

However, this is all a story for another day.

Now, the most important thing is to calm down your surging heart.

Afterwards, Xia Jieren called the two sisters, Lillian and Lilia, who were waiting outside the door.

The two sisters came to Xia Jieren shyly and skillfully took over the work of Litte and Robin.
