[Next phase mission unlocked: Sell ten Devil Fruits] [Phase mission reward: Three lottery chances, or 3,000 Origin Points.] [Note: 1,000 Origin Points are equivalent to one lottery chance. The host may combine them freely.]
Just as Rosha was feeling excited, that series of notifications rang out in his mind again.
The system had issued the latest phase of the sales mission.
"Ten Devil Fruits?"
Rosha was eager to give it a try.
After building up sales for some time, Rosha was still full of confidence regarding this new phase of the sales mission.
Leaving everything else aside, hadn't Kingpin said he planned to bring his fiancée over again?
One Devil Fruit was already spoken for!
And while there still were not many Devil Fruit users at present, each of them had more or less spread the word within their own circles.
That kind of spread might not produce immediate results in the short term, but Rosha believed that, as time went on, it would definitely bear fruit.
Looking at it now, among the customers who had bought Devil Fruits, aside from Deadpool, who had stumbled in on his own, which one had not come through that kind of spread?
This mission would not be difficult!
"Shopkeeper!"
At that moment, Zhao Hailun suddenly tagged Rosha in the group chat.
Zhao Hailun was not Deadpool. She did not spend all day rambling nonsense in the chat, tagging this person and that person without stopping.
Given Zhao Hailun's personality, if she tagged Rosha specifically, there had to be something important.
Without any needless chatter, Rosha entered the group chat directly.
Shopkeeper: "@Zhao Hailun, Dr. Zhao, what is it?"
Zhao Hailun: "There's something I'd like to confirm with you. Do Devil Fruits need to be kept secret from Mutants?"
Although Mutants were a relatively rare group and people generally did not encounter them often in their daily lives, attitudes toward them varied drastically.
Some sympathized with and supported Mutants, while others were filled with hostility toward them and even wanted to wipe them out.
In short, anything involving Mutants was an extremely sensitive social issue.
Zhao Hailun felt that she still needed to ask for Rosha's opinion on this matter.
The others in the group chat also began paying attention. They likewise wanted to know Rosha's attitude toward Mutants.
After all, it could affect how they dealt with Mutants in the future.
If the shopkeeper strongly disliked Mutants, but they ended up bringing a Mutant customer to him, that would be incredibly awkward.
Wade Wilson: "Dr. Zhao, that's a good question. I actually wanted to ask it a long time ago, but I forgot every single time."
Wade Wilson: "Actually, two extremely stupid Mutants keep bothering me. One has silver metallic skin, and the other is a girl whose body can glow."
Wade Wilson: "Oh, right. Did I mention they're both X-Men?"
Wade Wilson: "I have no idea what they see in me, but they keep trying to drag me into the X-Men. But I'm not even a Mutant. Isn't that hilarious?"
Deadpool then began chattering endlessly in the group about how Colossus and Negasonic had been harassing him.
And Deadpool typed incredibly, unbelievably fast. Huge blocks of text poured out nonstop, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
The entire group chat was directly flooded by Deadpool.
"Group member Wade Wilson has been muted by the group owner for five minutes!"
The world was finally quiet.
Mutants?
Rosha fell into thought.
Honestly, he did not care about Mutants at all and had no prejudice against that group.
But there was one overpowered bastard he was still extremely wary of: Professor X.
That guy could freely read other people's memories and control their thoughts. It was simply too broken.
Rosha had no desire for all his secrets to be completely exposed before Professor X.
After thinking it over, Rosha entered the group chat and asked the system, "System, can certain psychics read your existence from my memories?"
[The system's existence cannot be detected by any form of psychic probing!] [Since the system has already bound itself to the host, the host's mental world is likewise protected by the system and cannot be probed!]
Only then did Rosha finally put his mind entirely at ease.
Shopkeeper: "Dr. Zhao, and everyone else in the group, I treat Mutants and ordinary people equally. Just act according to your own wishes."
Zhao Hailun: "I understand. If that's the case, then I'm relieved, Shopkeeper."
Vanessa: "Dr. Zhao, have you come into contact with Mutants?"
Zhao Hailun: "Not directly. A friend asked whether I could treat a Mutant. I haven't agreed yet, but there are some things I felt I needed to clarify first."
Shopkeeper: "That's fine, Dr. Zhao. Follow your own heart. If you decide to treat that Mutant and he asks you about Devil Fruits, there's no harm in telling him."
Zhao Hailun: "I understand, Shopkeeper!"
Zhao Hailun: "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"
Zhao Hailun truly was a decisive person. After discussing the matter at hand, she immediately went offline.
She did not waste a single extra word.
But then again, everyone was an adult with their own things to do. Rosha really found it strange—why did Deadpool have time to idle in the group chat every day?
Were mercenaries really that free?
After staying in the shop for nearly three hours, another six or seven walk-in customers came by one after another. Naturally, not a single sale was made.
That was exactly what Rosha had expected.
Besides, he had already sold four Devil Fruits today, so Rosha was more than satisfied.
He quickly closed up and locked the shop, then headed once again to the barren mountain where he often trained.
But this time, Rosha was not there to train. He was there to experience what it felt like to be a Marine Admiral!
"Ama no Murakumo!"
With a thought from Rosha, countless photons rapidly gathered in his palm. A glittering golden photon sword appeared just like that.
With a casual swing, a large tree as thick as a man was effortlessly cut in half.
"Light-Speed Kick!"
With one kick, a terrifying beam of light shot out.
A huge boulder over a man's height tall exploded into rubble on the spot.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Rosha transformed into light and flew into the air, raising his crossed hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dense Photon Bullets shot forward like a blanket covering the sky, creating a spectacular sight.
After trying several other moves, Rosha's entire face glowed with delight, as happy as if he had won five million.
His control over his own abilities had now reached a masterful level. He truly possessed the strength of a Marine Admiral.
Of course, that only referred to his use of the Devil Fruit.
