Section 7: Telephone Bug Mission!

  In the scoring system established during the Warring States period, the basic standard for work scores of lieutenant generals was 1,000 points. Those who scored more than 1,000 points were recorded and given key attention and training.

  The system is perfect, grasping the hearts of people with precision, even Shen Bao couldn't help but sigh in admiration: The Buddha's Warring States, indeed worthy of the name of a wise general.

  He wasn't without the thought of making Warring States his child body, but he had always been completely out of luck. Previously it was because his own strength was insufficient, later it was because there weren't enough child bodies, and now it was because there were no opportunities. As the Commander-in-Chief, Warring States' defensive powers around him couldn't be underestimated. Even Warring States' own strength made Shenbao somewhat wary.

  He had not seen the true strength of the Buddha's Warring States during his journey. However, according to this world's principle of "the strong are king", even if he was not good at it, he must have at least two brushes. Once he lost control during the process of subduing the treasure, he would face the terrifying revenge of the entire Navy Department.

  Three great generals (Akainu at the top, Borsalino in second place, and one more old general; Aokiji is not qualified yet)! Karp middle general, countless vice admirals, junior captains, and countless elite warships.

  Facing this overwhelmingly powerful force, even someone as strong as Whitebeard wouldn't dare to cross it. Back then, the Pirate King Roger also had to sneak into the Marine Headquarters with Rayleigh by his side, and that kind of bravery was already considered unparalleled among millions of people.

  Single-handedly challenge the entire naval headquarters, with one person's power to rival millions of people, this is not only reckless, but also extremely stupid.

  Shen Bao understood this, but he still didn't give up. After completing the material quest, he patiently stayed for a few more days, and finally temporarily extinguished his desire to conquer the Warring States because he couldn't figure out the hidden defensive forces of the Warring States.

  "I should finish the task at hand as soon as possible. After all, once the deadline is missed, it will be considered a failed task. Not to mention the loss of reputation, but more importantly, the 650 points I worked hard for will be deducted by 200! On the other hand, if I succeed, I will gain 400 points. Accumulated, that's 1050 points. This year's work points can be considered as reaching the standard."

  The so-called assist task is to play an assisting role. The reason why the difficulty is ranked 8th is not only because the journey is indeed full of hardships, but also because the benefits brought by this task will have an extremely strong positive impact on the navy.

  No more beating around the bush, the content of this task is simply - collecting phone worms!

  Telephone worm is a communication organism unique to the blue ocean (it seems that there is no white sea).

  They have the appearance of snails, with spots or stripes or solid colors on their bodies. On top of their shells, there are walkie-talkies or buttons. When they're not connected, they sleep. When they're connected, they wake up and make "boiling boiling" sounds. It's really super cute!

  And when making a call, the mouth of the telephone insect will move like the mouth of the speaker, and even expressions can be imitated!

  In his past life, Shen Bao had a special liking for this kind of creature. If he were to make a choice between the Telephone Bug and the latest model of high-tech phone in the world, then without any hesitation, Shen Bao would definitely choose the Telephone Bug.

  Compared with mobile phones, landline phones have many more advantages!

  First, the phone worm doesn't need to dial. Second, the phone worm's function of conveying emotions is super awesome! Finally, and most importantly, the phone worm is free! Just give it a little feed or special feed every day, and you can raise it! Its universality is the biggest reason why it can be popular all over the world.

  As a house man, Xinbao has a special hobby of collecting in his bones. In his previous life's small nest, he was full of various anime and game character figures. Since he crossed into the One Piece world and became a Navy general, he also collected phone bugs on a large scale.

  Now on Donghai Fortress Island, in his private collection room, there is a row of insect-rearing cabinets that raise all kinds of telephone insects.

  Small volume, easy to carry small mobile phone insect.

  The radio waves are strong, and even remote islands can communicate with each other. The large telephone insect has a transmission function after being connected to the parts.

  Like eavesdropping and communicating with companions, black phone bugs are used as eavesdroppers.

  Even only high-ranking officers above Da Jiang could have it, and as soon as they pressed the special telephone worm that would launch the Demon-Slaying Command - the Golden Telephone Worm, Jinbao also had one!

  Shen Bao chose this task for two reasons: one was because of the generous reward points, and the other was because it aligned with his own interests.

  Telephone bugs are a gift from Mother Nature. His mission this time, specifically speaking, is to assist government departments' specialized telephone bug breeders in capturing some wild telephone bugs living on Snail Island.

  "What? Is Telephone Bug a wild one?" asked Jinbao, unable to contain his curiosity.

  The answer he got was: "The original telephone worm is wild, and later it was captured by the ancestors and raised extensively. However, after generations of domestication, the body of the telephone worm becomes weaker and weaker. Therefore, every year the government has to catch some wild telephone worms from their place of origin and bring them back for breeding."

  Xīn Bǎo asked again: "Are telephone bugs born with the ability to communicate?"

  The answer I got again is: "Telephone bugs must go through certain training and scientific processing methods to truly achieve the effect of interconnection. Wild telephone bugs that are casually caught generally have a slim chance of communication."

  Shen Bao asked again: "Is it really that difficult to capture a wild mobile phone worm? Why is the task difficulty so high?"

  The person who answered began to get impatient, but still reluctantly replied: "Wild telephone worms are a very docile animal and don't run fast. Being raised in captivity has food to eat, so it's not unpleasant to be caught either. The difficulty of the task is because the place of origin, Dragon Whirlwind Island, is surrounded by huge tornadoes all year round, with extremely strong winds that are rarely seen in the world. Successful capture and return ships often have only one in ten survivors."

  "Also, your task is to assist me and protect my personal safety and the safety of the bug. You don't need to have a spirit that breaks through the pot to ask for the bottom line. Since I excluded others and chose you as a fish person, you should understand something! From now on, I need you to be silent and only follow orders."

  Shen Bao listened to the government official's words and didn't get angry. He shrugged his shoulders, indicating acquiescence. In his heart, he thought: "I originally wanted to tell you that I have a supreme sacred prayer oil that can temporarily calm any bad weather, but since you said so, I'd better keep my mouth shut."
