Chapter 281 Mission 1
This mission seems to be just a collection mission, but it's really a scam.
The golden cactus is very famous, and Zhao Yu has heard about it.
This thing is said to be a sacred object of Alabasta, and it also has a Devil Fruit mission on it.
This is one of the few public Devil Fruit missions in the game, and countless players have followed it.
But no one has ever found it, making it one of the most difficult puzzles in the game.
Zhao Yu had only heard of it, but because this kind of task was quite sensitive and failing to complete it would violate his invincible character, Zhao Yu did not take over the task.
But this time it was impossible not to accept it. He would not let go of the opportunity to awaken the devil fruit.
Zhao Yu returned to the Nineteen Continents station and found the great prophet and the guild's collection master to "study hard".
These two people are indispensable for Zhao Yu to complete the mission. One is able to predict the general direction of the mission, and the other is to prevent the golden cactus flower from being too high-grade.
"President, are you looking for us?" After the two of them knew that Zhao Yu was looking for them, they quickly came to his side and said.
"Yes, I have a task that I need your help with," Zhao Yu said straight to the point, and then shared the task of finding the golden cactus he had just accepted with the two of them.
"Is this Devil Fruit some kind of special Devil Fruit?" Haoxuexue asked.
You must know that Zhao Yu has very high requirements for Devil Fruits, otherwise there would not be two unknown Devil Fruits and one Pegasus Fruit lying in the Nineteen Continents Guild's warehouse until now.
The devil fruit that he can take a fancy to must not be simple.
"It's not this devil fruit that I'm interested in. I have other missions," Zhao Yu said.
"That's it! President, if it's a task of finding something, two more people may be needed this time!" said the great prophet.
"who?"
"Brother Feng Yu! The explorer of the Nineteen Continents," said the great prophet.
"That's right! Forget about these two brothers. In this way, our team of five will be together."
Zhao Yu said suddenly, and then immediately contacted the Fengyu brothers. After confirming that they were available, Zhao Yu added them to the team.
After that, the five people gathered and quickly rushed to Alabasta, and Zhao Yu remained anonymous and put on a clown mask.
Zhao Yu's clown mask is actually very famous, but it is not rare, and there are so many people who learn from him, and no one can directly recognize him from the mask.
Their target is a desert where NPCs are said to have seen golden cactus, and the video is also circulating among players.
Although the video is relatively blurry and the golden cactus disappears briefly, this is the only message about this thing.
They have no other goals and can only use this as their goal.
"How to find this?" Xia Tianfeng said.
Several people stood on the edge of the town, looking helplessly at the endless desert in front of them.
This is also one of the most annoying parts of this mission. They don't even give any hints when looking for such a very rare item.
"It's up to you!" Zhao Yu said to the great prophet. They now have to determine a direction. Is this golden cactus in this desert?
The great prophet nodded, then silently closed his eyes and began to circle. The next moment he stretched out his hand and said:
"In this direction!"
"Hey! Lao Li is not mistaken, this is the direction of the town!" Study hard and said to him.
Lao Li is talking about the great prophet, his real name is Li.
"Absolutely, it's right here, and I also saw buildings and people. This golden cactus was enshrined in an altar building," the great prophet said.
"So that's it. I said those people have been searching the desert for so long, but there's no news at all!" Xia Yu said.
"Let's go back to the town and have a look," Zhao Yu said.
…
The town they are in now is a small town on the edge of the desert. Ever since they learned about the golden cactus in the desert, there has been an endless stream of players coming here.
Zhao Yu now has some doubts. Are the people in the town trying to develop the town's economy?
But looking back, it seems that these players can't create the value of a Devil Fruit in a few years, so it shouldn't be them.
Several people walked in the direction pointed by the great prophet, and soon a simple building appeared in front of them.
"Are you sure this is here?" Zhao Yu said looking at the building in front of him.
"This should be correct, the surrounding walls are exactly the same as the walls in the picture I saw," the great prophet said, touching his chin.
The shell of this building should be an ancient relic, Zhao Yu could also see this.
But the key thing is that the inside of the building has been renovated, and now it has been turned into an entertainment venue.
And it seems to be illegal, with everything from "eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling" available.
"Otherwise, I can sacrifice for the organization and go in first to explore," Xia Fengfeng said, touching his chin.
"Can your fruit be used in such an event? Don't risk getting banned!" Zhao Yu looked at him and said.
"It should be no problem!" Xia Tianfeng said.
"Okay, you go in and explore!" the four of them said.
Then they watched the summer wind slowly disappear in front of them, and then watched him enter the building according to the team prompts.
But not long after, he was thrown out.
Zhao Yu and the others: "..."
"What's going on?" Xia Tianyu looked at his brother lying on the ground and said mockingly.
"There is a wall inside here made of seastone. I accidentally got caught and was discovered!" Xia Fengfu stood up and said with difficulty after running away from the corpse.
"Hai Lou Shi? It looks like this is the right place. Feng, you stay here to give us a break. Let's go in and look for opportunities," Zhao Yu said.
"You don't know how to be invisible, how can you get in?" Xia Tianfeng said.
"Are you stupid? We are not invisible. Of course we go in directly. This is a public business place!" Xia Yu said.
summer Wind:"…"
Damn, I used too much invisibility fruit! I had forgotten that I could freely enter public places.
…
The summer wind left a lookout, and the three of them walked into this small building that combined a brothel and a casino into one.
"Sorry, sir, we are only open to members here."
As soon as Zhao Yu and others entered the door, they were stopped by an NPC. The NPC said.
"Where can I apply for membership?" Zhao Yu asked.
Then the NPC pointed to the service desk window on one side. After Zhao Yu and the other three looked at each other, they walked there.
…
"My membership here is worth a lot of money! I actually need to buy 100,000 Bailey chips," Xia Tianyu said.
"It is indeed not cheap. Do you think this golden cactus mission is a scam?" Zhao Yu said, touching his chin.
"Boss, you mean to lure everyone here through Devil Fruit, and then use the high-priced tickets to make money?" He said clearly after studying hard.
"Yes, but I'm just guessing," Zhao Yu said.
"It's indeed very possible, but something doesn't make sense! Aren't they afraid of attracting real strong people?
If it is discovered by someone who is interested, once it attracts a strong person who cannot deal with it, it will not mean that the group will be destroyed! "The great prophet said.
"This is Alabasta, Crocodile has fallen here, who dares to act so arrogantly?
Although Crocodile doesn't seem to be strong from the plot, the name of the Shichibukai is still a strong deterrent!
For those who don't care about the reputation of the Shichibukai, you wouldn't go to this "remote" entrance to the great sea route specifically for a devil fruit.
And who knows if they have a secret weapon? The boss’s analysis still makes sense! "Summer rain channel.
"Anyway, be careful! This should be the sea stone wall that Feng mentioned. First make sure there is nothing inside," Zhao Yu said.
The Great Prophet nodded to acknowledge receipt, and then activated his special ability again.
This bug-like ability is convenient in this situation.
"It is indeed in here," said the great prophet soon.
"Then let's..."
"What are these handsome guys doing here? Come and play!" Just as Xia Tianyu was about to say something, a scantily clad woman came up and said to the four of them.
"I'll go! Is this game so big now?" Haoxuexue said in the chat channel.
"Be careful, he has murderous intent!" Zhao Yu said.
