#8 - Chapter 8 Jinan and the Navy
Time flies like an arrow.
Inside a delicate little villa.
"Big brother, I've completed all of today's tasks. (Although it only took 30 minutes.)"
A red-haired boy approached Jin An, who was resting on a rocking chair, with light steps.
"Shanks is here." Jin An stopped rocking and handed over the reward from his side. "Here, your favorite BC calcium milk."
Since Ivankov left here four years ago, the system has issued several more tasks.
Compared with the first task, these tasks are trivial and can be easily completed.
However, the rewards are also pitifully small, only a few recipes were obtained, and BC calcium milk is one of them.
Fortunately, with these things, the lives of the four of them have been quite comfortable, and they even accidentally became the richest man in the Sorbet Kingdom.
Improving life is secondary, the most important thing is to accumulate funds.
The naval power in this world is very strong, right, but it still has to obediently listen to the orders of the world government.
The root cause of this situation is because they have no money.
Most of the pirate world is water. Engaging in agriculture is a dead end. If you engage in commerce, there are too many pirates, making it difficult to move. What should people do if they have no money? They can only go to sea to become pirates, otherwise they will starve to death.
Then it keeps going in a vicious cycle, leading to the world becoming the deformed appearance it is now.
Therefore, Jin An decided to make money first, but he would never touch those black areas.
Of course, he didn't give up on physical exercise either.
Jin An glanced at the panel.
[Host: Jin An]
[Physique: 79]
[Mental Strength: 59]
[Swordsmanship: 79 (Great Swordsman Level Swordsman)] (80-89 Master, 100 Grandmaster)
[Shave: 79 (Stepping on the ground dozens of times in 0.2 seconds)]
[Finger Pistol: 79 (The power gathered by the fingers can easily penetrate multiple layers of steel)]
[Armament Haki: 59 (Not awakened)]
[Observation Haki: 59 (Not awakened)]
[Conqueror's Haki: 0 (Not awakened)]
[Points Remaining: 1000]
[Points can be obtained by collecting emotions and completing tasks issued by the system. Points can be used to open training spaces and shop consumption]
(The time flow rate in the training space is slowed down by 1:50, and the training results are applied to the main body. The stronger the data, the harder it is to grow)
Jin An didn't know how to complain, everything was failing, and there was even a zero.
Last time he used the limited-time card, he found that 80 was a threshold, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the 60 threshold after 4 years of training.
"This broken system is useless at all!" Jin An said that he had never seen such a useless system.
If the system could speak, it would definitely say, if it weren't for this panel, I wouldn't be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
......
"Big brother, the lessons taught by the teacher in elementary school today were too simple, I was almost bored to death." Shanks drank BC calcium milk, still chattering non-stop.
Jin An rolled his eyes, feeling a little helpless, but didn't know what to say.
Who told this little guy to have learned most of the knowledge when he was three years old, a complete child prodigy.
"Can I go to the university you built to study in advance?" Shanks looked forward to it, trying to achieve his goal by acting spoiled.
Jin An shook his head: "Do things that match that age at that age. I myself want to go back to elementary school."
"But elementary school is too boring." Shanks pouted in dissatisfaction.
"......"
"Tell me what you learned in school today first." Jin An touched Shanks' head and let him lie beside him.
Shanks counted on his fingers: "Enlightenment studies (a mix of Three Character Classic and other books, mainly teaching how to be a person), natural science, and then the five arts (without imperial)."
"But the courses in university are more interesting, medicine, law, economics... I'm super interested in these."
"It's a pity there are no courses in meteorology and astronomy."
Jin An looked up at the sky without answering, he didn't want to admit that the astronomy and meteorology system in this world hadn't rewarded the knowledge system yet.
"We'll talk about it later."
"......"
"I have something to go out for. If you're bored, you can go to your brother Xiong and sister Ginny."
Jin An walked to the coat rack, put on the navy-issued coat, and walked out slowly.
He joined the navy three and a half years ago, and under the guidance of the system, he killed an unknown number of pirates before barely sitting in the position of a lieutenant colonel, responsible for guarding the Sorbet Kingdom.
He thought he could slack off after sitting as the highest officer in an area.
Unexpectedly, there were more things to do.
He needs to continue to climb up, he doesn't believe that if he climbs to the top, someone will still assign him tasks.
......
Sorbet Kingdom Naval Branch.
Jin An entered the building from the main entrance with ease and walked into his office.
The branch where he was located originally had a full staff of less than 1,000 people. After his reconstruction during this period, and the completion of the infrastructure, it expanded to more than 2,000 people.
And these people are absolutely loyal to him, after all, who can refuse a BOSS who doesn't default on wages, and also sets up extra bonuses and year-end bonuses.
His butt had just fallen on the chair in the office.
He casually flipped through the documents piled up on the table, but they were all trivial matters.
Looking at these documents, Jin An stroked the beard on his chin, it seems that he should hire a secretary, and hand over all these things to the secretary, so he can take a vacation.
After these years of sweeping, there are fewer and fewer pirates nearby.
His subordinates can easily solve those who pass by, without him having to take action at all, which makes his relationship with the current King Bekley quite harmonious.
In a casual chat, he accidentally talked about how if Jin An hadn't suddenly appeared, the king might have been forced to divide the country in two in a few years due to the pressure of the heavenly gold.
This method is used to reduce the amount of heavenly gold paid, half of which is protected by the country, and the other half will become a land outside the law.
From this, it can also be seen how outrageous the Celestial Dragons' exploitation of this world has become.
Just then, a man with curly hair wearing a navy uniform knocked on the door and walked in.
He saw Jin An resting in the chair, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes, but considering that he still had a mission to perform, he quickly adjusted his emotions: "Subordinate has something to report."
Jin An restrained some of his laziness, sat up a little straighter, and looked at the boy in front of him who was as tall as him at the age of 15:
"It's you, Kuzan, what's the matter?"
The navy is named Kuzan, who is the future Aokiji. When Jin An just became a lieutenant, he directly joined his command by name. His strength, character and potential are very good. He is one of his right-hand men.
"Lieutenant Colonel Jin An..."
Kuzan's face looked a little dignified, he hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"At noon today, I received an urgent report that a group of pirates is approaching a small island north of the Sorbet Kingdom, and is expected to arrive in the afternoon."
Kuzan remembered the arrangements he had made before coming here, and said a little anxiously:
"I have already sent people to investigate, but they have not returned yet. I am worried..."
"However, I have also sent a group of people to the island to protect the safety of civilians."
"But I'm still a little worried and want to go and check it out myself."
Those he sent out were all experts in reconnaissance, and they knew very well how to hide their tracks. If they were to encounter misfortune, the enemy would probably be a bit tricky.
[Ding! Go to St. Andre to investigate and deal with the incident.]
[Reward: 2000 points, 1 hour of training space usage time]
2000 points, even dogs would shake their heads, converted into training time is only two hours, let alone the things in the store, you can't even afford a course.
Moreover, it doesn't even give skill points, you dog system.
"You can just call me directly with the Den Den Mushi for this kind of thing in the future, no need to waste time waiting for me to get to the office."
Jin An put on his clothes, took his knife, and pushed the door out directly.
"Time waits for no one, come with me, just point the way for me."
Even the smallest mosquito is still meat......
