17 Chapter 16
Stelle held her chin as she nodded thoughtfully. Actually, Welt wasn't wrong. No matter who they are, they can't help but be curious about the deeds of the Great Guardian of Beloberg.
Stelle took out her phone, scrolling away until she located the contact number, Herta.
[Stelle: Herta, are you there?]
[Automatic reply: Hello, I am currently away from something right now and will not initiate contact for a while.]
[T/L: I don't know what should be there, but I'll follow along with the original.]
[Stelle: I have something you would definitely be interested in.]
[Herta: Yes? What's going on?]
[Stelle: Today was my first time trailblazing, and I met an interesting person.]
[Herta: …...]
[Herta: Not interested; leave.]
[Stelle: His name is Adonis, the Great Guardian of Beloberg of Jarlio-Vi; he—[100 words omitted below].]
[Automatic reply: Hello, I am currently away from something right now and will not initiate contact for a while.]
[Herta: Wait, are you telling the truth?]
[Stelle: Weren't you not interested?]
[Herta: NOW I'm interested, so such people like him exist?]
[Herta: Give me the coordinates of the planet where he lives.]
[Stelle: Uhm, I don't know the coordinates of Jarlio-Vi. Maybe ask Asta?]
[Stelle: By the way, you should take some people along with you.]
[Automatic reply: Hello, I am currently away from something right now and will not initiate contact for a while.]
Stelle set her phone aside, her lips curling into a wry smile. As expected of Herta, she took action immediately.
It is indeed impressive efficiency.
Stelle contemplated for a moment, thinking that this task should be considered as fulfilling Mr. Yang's mission, right?
If only all tasks could be as straightforward as this one, coupled with some attractive rewards... Stelle couldn't help but entertain such thoughts.
….
Meanwhile.
Adonis returned to Fort Creeper.
The alliance with the Astral Express was a bonus. The supplies sent by their 'Allies' would shorten the reconstruction time of Jarlio-Vi.
Though he couldn't help but think, 'If only [Herta Space Station] is willing to provide us with talents,' Adonis couldn't help but sigh.
The Herta Space Station is full of talents.
Herta's space station is teeming with individuals of various skills and expertise, ranging from janitors to planetary geniuses. However, the fierce competition on the Herta Space Station made it unlikely that many would be willing to relocate to a planet that didn't offer immediate benefits.
Even so.
Regardless of who they are, Adonis would need all the help he could get. The current Beloberg, no, the reformation of Jarlio-Vi, was what Adonis was seeking, so he would truly need all the help he could get.
'Well, this type of thing should not be forced,' Adonis mused as he drifted into the chat group.
[Shiina: Adonis, are you there?]
Three minutes later.
[Ding Group Announcement: Member Shiina completed today's check-in and earned 42 points.]
[Shiina: Ugh, compared to Adonis, who earned two consecutive full points, in comparison to him, I'm embarrassed to even sign in whenever he's online.]
[A2: Well, it's the same for us too….]
[Kaede: As much as I want to refute it, it is true.]
[Shiina: Is this what they call probability? No even probability is not as ridiculous or exaggerated as that!]
[Anna: I also feel the same was as you Shiina-chan; back then, when Adonis was not in the group, I was always looking forward to signing in every day. Now that he's here, I can't help but think, when will he sign in today?]
[Inori: We want new people too! When will they join?]
[Kaede: At that time, we will exclude him and resume the daily point comparison!]
Seeing their messages, Adonis couldn't help but chuckle. Well, he didn't say much, nor did he have many thoughts about this.
Comparing probabilities or numbers to his [miracle] is a stupid thought.
[Ding! Group Announcement: Voyager Nami has joined the chat group; everybody come and welcome her.]
[Shiina: Finally, a new group member! Our point comparison will be legendary!]
[Inori: Welcome newcomers~]
[Shiina: Hold up, now that I think about this... Isn't this too coincidental? Just thinking about new members, and one actually appears?]
[Anna: Let's put that aside for now, it's great to have a new person in our extended family.]
One Piece world.
On a small, empty island of (?).
[T/L: I can't be bothered by searching it up, I don't know, I've already lost brain cells translating, can't be bothered to correct...]
Nami, who had become separated from her friends, found herself sitting on the grass, grappling with mixed emotions. Suddenly, she noticed a blue panel displaying the words, "Thousand Worlds Chat Group."
She didn't have much of a choice as the system involuntarily added her to the chat group.
Once inside, she scanned the messages from other group members. Anxious, she clutched her weather stick (?) and rose to her feet, cautiously surveying her unfamiliar surroundings.
'Is this some kind of devil fruit ability?' This was Nami's first thought, but the thing was, there was nobody in her vicinity.
She scanned around cautiously again, but there really was no one. Her gaze then fell on the suspicious panel again.
[Anna: Huh? Is it our fault? We didn't welcome enough. Why is the newcomer not talking? [T^T]]
[A2: Anna-chan, it's not your fault; Nami's world is very dangerous, so I'm guessing she should be vigilant now.]
[Anna: More dangerous than sister A2's world?]
[A2: From a standpoint, I believe so.]
[T/N: Dunno if this is true, but it's the OG author's words, not mine.]
[Shiina: In this way, it seems like it will take a while before Nami trusts us, right?]
Observing the chat and considering her situation, Nami began to rationalize that these people in the chat group didn't seem harmful. She hesitated for a moment before deciding, "Should I try communicating with them?"
With that thought in mind, she cautiously extended her hand toward the panel…...
[Nami: What's going on? And who are you people?]
[Shiina: Hello newcomer~]
[A2: Let me explain; this is a blah blah blah blah and blah].
[A2: Capisce?]
[A2: No? Good!]
