Chapter 685 Herd Effect

Although I really want to see Shanks get humiliated right away, unfortunately, he can't get to Elegia for a while.

Therefore, Xie Wen can only temporarily focus on the reconstruction of Elegia.

The other members of the investigation team are also doing their own interesting activities while helping with the reconstruction...

For example, Robin is immersed in the books in the ruins, even though most of them are related to music scores and music theory.

After obtaining Gordon's consent, Meowerya dismantled all the stone statues. Of course, for each one she dismantled, she would take out a guardian with higher intelligence and stronger combat power as compensation.

After collecting all the sleepless mushrooms on the island, Huiyuan Meow, who is also a scientific research cat, invested in the development of new drugs, because this little black-bellied cat felt that the existing drugs could not make Shanks deeply realize his mistakes, so she decided to develop several more new drugs in case of emergency.

The only thing that made Xie Wen feel uneasy was that Huiyuan Cat kept looking at him while saying this...

In addition to the sleepless mushroom, there are many animals and plants on Elegia Island that are not common in other places, and they are all very suitable as food. I don’t know if it’s because Tot-Musica is sealed here, or...

Before crossing, Xie Wen had seen relevant reports such as "Music promotes the growth of plants" and "Music can improve the mood of animals", so it is normal that the animals and plants in Elegia are better and rarer?

But anyway, Sanji Cat is very happy.

Sharmi, Sasha Cat and Klee Cat continue to serve as guest performers in Uta's live broadcast with great interest, and the popularity of the three kittens is no less than that of Uta.

In addition, they also helped Uta develop her fruit ability together with Xie Wen...

Well, although a certain little puppet responsible for being cute is basically making trouble, the overall progress is still quite gratifying.

Unfortunately, the Song-Song Fruit metaverse envisioned by Xie Wen cannot be realized.

Because...

Uta's "server" cannot hold up.

First of all, just like the reason why Uta keeps eating the sleepless mushroom in the movie, when she falls asleep or faints, the Song-Song Fruit world will collapse instantly, causing all "players" to go offline.

Secondly, as more and more people enter the Song-Song Fruit world, Uta will need to consume more and more mental power, and this consumption is growing exponentially. With Uta's current mental strength, as long as the number of "players" exceeds 100, the time she can maintain will begin to drop significantly.

This is the result of Xie Wen's test with the help of members of the World Economic Society.

So in the movie, Uta eats the sleepless mushroom not only to prevent herself from falling asleep, but also to stimulate her brain and keep her mind in a more active state.

Finally, Uta couldn't create NPCs beyond her understanding. For example, even though she knew the existence of Conqueror's Haki, she couldn't create a being that used Conqueror's Haki. But after Sasha let her experience a temporary Conqueror's Haki, she was able to create it. Even when she tried to use Conquer on her own and failed, she still gave the NPC the Conqueror's Haki skills.

But even so, the NPCs she created couldn't exceed her own strength too much, so some games with not very exaggerated settings were fine, but those games with ancient gods, Titans, and demons in the settings were difficult for Uta to reproduce in the world of the Song Song Fruit.

It is precisely because of this that the metaverse is not feasible, but network meetings with a small number of people, multiplayer online games with less than 100 people, and script killings can still achieve the effect.

For example, in recent days, Klee likes to pull other cats to play the characters in "Naruto" together, and reproduce various famous scenes in the story in the world of the Song Song Fruit... Well, to be precise, it is a variety of famous scenes with explosions, most of which are naturally dominated by the parts where Deidara and Konan appear.

In addition, the cats also tried other stories that Xie Wen had told.

Originally, Xie Wen wanted to record these scenes and give them to Morgans to make a TV series or something.

Unfortunately, these little cats would act on their own while acting, such as Deidara (Klee) blasting Sasuke (Touma) to death, Seiya (Sanji) beating Hades (Mr. Kamijou), Kurosaki Ichigo (Niaojuro) crushing Kuchiki Byakuya (Shinjo Takuma) with swordsmanship, Pang Feiyan (Graybara) "accidentally" gave Gongsun Ce (a cow cat) the new medicine she was developing when feeding him medicine, etc.

Moreover, when the cats were playing roles, they were laughing most of the time, simply playing as a game, and Xie Wen didn't want to make too many demands on them, so this idea was eventually aborted.     It's better to wait until Uta is more proficient in controlling the power of the fruit, and then let her try it directly with a fully virtual character.

Just when Elegia was rebuilt at a very fast speed with the help of the Felyne Investigation Team, the pirates who had left after listening to the concert... came here again.

They had such actions due to many factors.

The first reason was naturally Tot-Musica. Although the newspaper said that this was the music demon sealed by Elegia, the problem was that many pirates did not believe it!

For so many years, no demons have appeared in Elegia, but as soon as you, Xie Wen, went there, one appeared? Who knows if Tot-Musica is another thing created by Vegapunk?

So in the eyes of many "smart" pirates, Elegia is probably a smokescreen released by Xie Wen, and it is very likely that the Egghead Island where Vegapunk is located is hidden not far from Elegia.

However, they don't think about it. If this is true, they almost understand why the World Economic Society, which has a deep friendship with Xie Wen, would report this news.

In fact, if it were just this, those pirates who had been fooled once would not choose to rush back. The real decisive factor is related to this guy Shanks.

Because of the fear of Uta, the Red Hair Pirates, who had been acting quietly, began to speed up their voyage after seeing the report about Tot-Musica, and naturally had no intention of covering up their whereabouts.

This led to everyone suddenly discovering that "Red Hair", one of the Five Emperors, actually went to Elegia in person, and even deliberately concealed his whereabouts before.

So, even if there is no Vegapunk there, there may be some treasure or something like that. Didn't you see that even the Red Hair Pirates, who have always been peaceful, are heading there?

Pirates are basically a group of hyenas that will rush in as soon as they smell a little fishy smell, so even if there is no Tot-Musica, just Shanks's abnormal movements are enough to make them follow closely.

Of course, there are also really smart pirates who guessed through the connection between the two that the destruction of Elegia ten years ago was probably related to Tot-Musica, but this does not mean that another possibility will disappear, so they would rather go there in vain.

Among them, some people are going there with the intention of making Xie Wen and Shanks lose both, and then picking up the leak.

After all, not many people knew about the friendship between Shanks and Xie Wen, and most of them were from the navy.

As Shanks' whereabouts were exposed, Kaido and Big Mom, who were not sure what was going on, could no longer sit still and led their fleet to Elegia.

With their actions, Whitebeard, who was worried that Shirahoshi and the cats would suffer, felt that he had to help out at the instigation of Teach.

Seeing that the other three sea emperors also took action, the other pirates were more certain that Elegia must have some secrets, so more pirates joined in, and even some nearby countries sent their own troops to get a piece of the pie...

Even if they didn't know what the pie was.

Even the Revolutionary Army, which was busy digging into the corners of the World Government, was worried that something might go wrong with Xie Wen, so they sent a combat team over, ready to secretly help Xie Wen if things went wrong.

And the navy naturally couldn't sit idly by when such a large-scale pirate movement occurred.

Thus, a more powerful commotion than before was created by mistake.

Xie Wen, who had just received a call from Morgans and learned what happened in the outside world: "..."

After thinking about it, it turned out to be Shanks' fault!
