I Didn't Enter the One Piece World to Slack Off

Though it was only a temporary job, this Tree Planting System was still Mu Yu's cheat.

Even if collecting energy was slow and difficult, Mu Yu was in no hurry. After all, he had lived a second life and survived a brush with death. His mindset was beyond that of ordinary people.

What was more, the Tree Planting System had another advantage: as long as he collected enough energy, his improvements would be visible to the naked eye.

That was an advantage ordinary people could never match!

It was not that many people could not endure hardship or were unwilling to work hard. It was that even after working hard, they could not see any growth or results.

Take losing weight, for example. You made up your mind, went on a diet, and started running.

You painstakingly stuck with it for one, two, three days, only to step on the scale and find that your weight had gone up instead of down?!

The clothes must have been too thick, and the shoes too heavy!

Forget it for today. Take a day off. The diet could start tomorrow!

Because there were no results, people slackened off; because they slackened off, they gave up!

But none of that was a problem for Mu Yu. Every bit of effort he made would be honestly reflected in his energy immediately.

Mu Yu's gaze sharpened. This time, he would put in three hundred percent effort. He absolutely would not repeat the same mistakes.

The One Piece World was his first mission world and the key to building up his initial capital. He absolutely could not slack off.

After all, he did not yet have the capital to slack off.

He had not entered the One Piece World to become a salted fish!

What was more, the world of One Piece was incredibly dangerous. Even if it was only a beginner village, he absolutely could not let his guard down.

Even a minor lackey possessed physical abilities that could not be judged by common sense.

When watching One Piece, he often saw scenes like this—

One slash, blood splattering everywhere, then after a bandage was wrapped around the wound, the person was alive and kicking again!

"Take a hundred days to recover from broken bones and torn tendons" simply did not exist in the One Piece World.

Oda: Life Return is a passive skill possessed by every character, except transmigrators! (X) If you can't tell, don't ask. If you ask, it's foreshadowing! (manually amused)

As for the Straw Hat Crew and famous characters, they were absurdly powerful.

Doflamingo awakened Conqueror's Haki at the age of eight and began conquering the world;

When Kuina was nine, she could defeat adult Instructors in the dojo who had practiced swordsmanship for years;

At ten, Ace awakened Conqueror's Haki and nearly wiped out the entire Brujhem Pirates.

There was no need to even mention Big Mom. She was not human at all. At ten years old, she could instantly defeat adult Attack on Titans.

A careful sailor sailed for ten thousand years. Being more cautious was never wrong.

In that regard, Mu Yu only admired Goblin Slayer and Cautious Hero!

Besides, Mu Yu had not forgotten that he still had an agreement with Sister Qing Yao!

Sensing the Tree Planter's intense desire to become stronger, reward: 10,000 energy. A cute little loli, a hot-blooded youth, charging forward to shatter the dimensional wall. Youth, fighting!

Mu Yu was instantly stunned.

When had the Dog System become so generous?

Wasn't this like shouting a couple of slogans before starting work, only for the boss to immediately reward him with ten thousand yuan?

Stay alert! I must stay alert! I absolutely cannot be corrupted by capitalism's sugar-coated shells!

Mu Yu secretly reminded himself never to test a businessman's conscience with his own life and property.

Free was always the most expensive!

The system must be planning to let him experience the joy of spending money first, completely destroy his will to strive, then trick him into spending!

The clever Mu Yu had already seen through everything!

No humans detected nearby. Do you wish to descend?

"Yes."

Mu Yu did not hesitate at all and directly chose to confirm.

When Mu Yu came back to his senses, he was already standing on an intoxicating beach.

The spring day was warm, the breeze gentle, and seagulls occasionally cried out, "Ah-oh! Ah-oh!"

The seawater gently washed onto the shore before slowly receding, leaving damp traces and a few tiny aquatic creatures behind.

Everything was full of life!

Mu Yu took a deep breath. The air was damp and salty, wonderfully pleasant and comfortable.

Without question, this was a beautiful and real world!

"Hello, world!"

Mu Yu could not help feeling his blood surge.

Just then, a string of system notifications rang out in Mu Yu's mind.

You have taken your first breath of fresh air in the One Piece World. Reward: 10 energy.

You have been brushed by the cool breeze of the One Piece World. Reward: 10 energy.

You have basked in the sun of the One Piece World. Reward: 10 energy.

You have admired the magnificent waves of the One Piece World's sea. Reward: 10 energy.

You have heard the cries of seagulls. Reward: 10 energy.

Mu Yu: "."

What the hell was going on?

Mu Yu was completely dumbfounded!

Had the system bugged out?

No way, was his account going to get banned?!

Master, please rest assured. Everything in the system is functioning normally.

Mu Yu: "???"

Normally?

No matter how he looked at it, this way of gaining energy was abnormal, wasn't it?

Master, this is merely standard temporary-worker treatment. Everyone knows that.

Mu Yu: "."

Why did it feel like he was being looked down on by the system?

He could grow stronger just by breathing, basking in the sun, and listening to seagulls?

A conspiracy. This had to be a conspiracy!

How could there be such an easy, effortless benefit in the world?

Mu Yu had never forgotten his identity—a temporary worker!

Was this setting him up to take the blame?

The Tree Planter is content with what he has and possesses a strong spirit of questioning. Reward: 10,000 energy.

Mu Yu: "."

Hadn't they agreed that he was only a tiny temporary worker?

Why was his energy increasing as if he had activated cheats?

Could it be that some treacherous commoner wanted to harm this emperor?!

The Tree Planter suffers from severe psychological trauma. To offer comfort, reward: 10,000 energy. Youth, your tragic past was not your fault. Learn to turn grief and indignation into strength, and live bravely and strongly. Ganbatte!

Mu Yu: "."

In this short span of time, he had somehow already accumulated 30,050 energy. This was definitely not normal!

As a temporary worker who could not afford to make even the slightest mistake, Mu Yu was highly conscientious.

"System!"

Master, your command!

Mu Yu said seriously, "Please report this situation to customer service. I cannot take advantage of public funds."

System: "."

Master, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Courtyard's energy calculation method. This truly is standard temporary-worker treatment.

With a righteous expression, Mu Yu insisted, "My grandfather taught me that if something does not belong to me, I should not take even a fraction of it. System, report it to customer service!"

Trying to scheme against me? Not a chance!

Master, there really is no problem.

Mu Yu: "Report it."

System: "."

Understood.

Ten minutes later.

Master, I have reported your situation to customer service. Their reply has been approved.

Mu Yu's eyes lit up. That fast?

Customer service was really efficient!

Customer Service: "Hello, sir. After verification, all of your information is accurate. I am the deputy director of the Singer God Clan Poverty Alleviation Office. It is truly difficult to imagine that there are people within the God Clan like you—people of such noble character, content to live in poverty. We sincerely apologize. This is all due to our Poverty Alleviation Office not doing its job properly."

"In recent years, the Poverty Alleviation Office has achieved remarkable results, but the widening gap between east and west, and between urban and rural areas, is also an indisputable fact."

"Because the region where you reside is simply too remote, poverty-relief supplies have had difficulty reaching you promptly. We apologize. However, knowledge changes destiny, and the Poverty Alleviation Office's 'New Dream Plan' will now officially benefit you."

Mu Yu was dumbstruck.

Poverty Alleviation Office... New Dream Plan?

Hello, Master. The first batch of subsidies from the Poverty Alleviation Office has arrived. Please accept them!

The corner of Mu Yu's mouth twitched.

At that moment, an incredibly familiar scene suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Little A: How was Little B's harvest this year?"

"Little B, brimming with confidence: Not bad. Business has been good, and the dividends are substantial too. My monthly income has passed ten thousand, I suppose!"

"Little A, astonished: Monthly income above ten thousand?"

"Little B, smug: It's decent."

"Little A, incredulous: How did you even survive?"

How had he somehow become a poverty-relief recipient?

"Confirm receipt."

Confirmed.

The instant he confirmed receipt, Mu Yu heard an official slogan—knowledge changes destiny, learning changes lives, care for disadvantaged groups; as long as each of us contributes a little love, the world will become a better place.

Mu Yu: "."

Congratulations, Master. You have received the additional skill [Complete Concentration] from the "New Dream Plan" subsidy. Your efficiency in reading, studying, and working will increase greatly in the future.

Disability and illness are major causes of poverty. New Dream is committed to alleviating poverty at its source. You are specially granted one set of the "Write" defensive technique from Toji no Miko, one tree seed capable of providing "Hidden World" divine power, enough energy for the "Hidden World Tree Seed" to grow into its complete form, and one pot each of energy capable of transforming an Ordinary sword into an Imperial Blade.

Skill description: Using an "Imperial Blade" as a medium, this skill temporarily transforms the physical body into an energy body. When defending with "Write," physical damage can be transferred away at the cost of slight pain and mental fatigue. Once injured, the affected portion will disappear, and bodily functions will also be lost. However, before Write is released, physical damage is ineffective.

Note: Imperial Blades are swords forged from the divine metal Tamahagane and can be transformed using energy.

Mu Yu: "."

He had become rich overnight. Rich overnight!

But why did this feeling seem so strangely subtle?
