After seeing Monkey D. Dragon off, Luo Wen began to take stock of his gains.
Previously, in collaboration with Uta, they sold autographed items worth a total of 2 billion Beli.
Five Artificial Devil Fruit were auctioned off, just shy of 1 billion Beli.
Caesar, the biggest contributor, brought in 7.7 billion Beli in one go.
In total, it amounts to a staggering 10.7 billion Beli.
This auction of Artificial Devil Fruit alone could immediately fill a whole new SSR template.
Compared to the East Blue, it's simply incomparable.
"Sure enough, the bigger the stage, the faster you make money."
Looking at the balance of 10.7 billion Beli on the panel, Luo Wen smiled happily.
Back when he was in the East Blue, he worked hard for half a year and only earned 500 million Beli, pushing Berserker's template to 50%.
Once you leave the East Blue and enter the Grand Line, you can easily find a billion Beli. Especially in the New World, the rewards are simply enormous.
Therefore, changing your platform can bring about a complete transformation in your life.
"However, without the six months of preparation in the East Blue, there would be no such rapid progress as we are now."
Luo Wen didn't say anything stupid like that he could get full just by eating the fourth bun.
Without the six months of preparation in East Blue, he wouldn't have achieved his current substantial gains.
Looking back now, he really did have the air of a swordsman from Shili Slope back then.
Despite possessing the strength of an elite Vice Admiral, he still engages in a chase game with a lowly pirate with a bounty of several million, further exacerbating the already precarious situation of the East Blue pirates.
After a brief sigh, Luo Wen stopped reminiscing about the past.
The more important thing now is to max out the template for the Winter Saintess, unlocking Heroic Spirit Construction and the knowledge of the complete Third Magic.
Luo Wen was also curious: what new template would be available after unlocking this one?
"I owe everything I have today to my own hard work." Luo Wen grinned and said, "System, give me some points, let me see your limits!"
With a thought, the balance on the panel jumped from 10.7 billion to 1.4 billion.
Correspondingly, the template for the Winter Saintess was also raised to 100%.

[System upgrade in progress. The next template will be UR level. Stay tuned!]
But the first thing I paid attention to was a piece of information.
[System upgrade in progress. The next template will be UR level. Please stay tuned.]
"So, does that mean there won't be any new templates for the time being?"
Luo Wen was somewhat surprised.
He thought he would unlock a new template like before, but the system had been upgraded instead.
What exactly is this UR template, and is it even worth upgrading the system for?
I wonder how long the system upgrade will take, and just how powerful are UR templates?
Luo Wen was very curious, but quickly put it aside. "Whatever it is, we'll find out after the system upgrades."
As for the new template, it's fine as it is for now.
Anyway, his current template is enough; adding another one would only make him even more invincible.
Ignoring the system upgrade message, Luo Wen looked at the other changes.
The values on the panel remained unchanged, but the knowledge gained was definitely worth it.
In a daze, he saw the Spiral of the Root again, staring directly at the ultimate knowledge that records all things, past and future.
He still gained only limited knowledge, but all of the Third Magic — the Soul Materialization— had been recorded in his mind.
The secrets of the Heroic Spirit Body, the secrets of the Soul Materialization, and the knowledge of transforming humans into incredible perpetual motion machines.
All sorts of knowledge echoed in his mind, gradually enriching his originally clear brain.
"Hmm~"
Luo Wen let out a soft groan and slowly opened his eyes.
His pupils remained a deep black, yet they now held a wisdom born from knowledge.
"Now I will never be alone on the road to immortality."
Luo Wen suppressed the surging knowledge and inspiration in his mind and said happily.
Having obtained the complete Third Magic, he could also transform his women into Heroic Spirit Body.
Youth never fades, life is eternal.
This was something he had been vaguely worried about for some time.
After all, immortality is always too lonely. The pain of watching those around him grow old and die is something he doesn't want to experience.
Even though there are many ways to achieve immortality in the world of One Piece, such as the Op-Op Fruit, the Vampire Fruit, and Pure Gold.
But not understanding the underlying principles always leaves one feeling uneasy.
Now that I have control over the structure of the Heroic Spirit Body, I no longer need to worry about it.
"Unfortunately, this kind of immortality is not perfect."
Luo Wen shook his head with some regret.
Previously, he had thought that after obtaining the Third Magic, he could transform people into immortal, magically powerful Heroic Spirit Body.
But once he truly gained complete knowledge of the Third Magic, he realized it wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.
Given his current resources, he can only accomplish half of it.
It is possible to transform people into Heroic Spirit Body, but it is impossible to endow them with the characteristics of a perpetual motion machine.
In other words, those who are transformed into Heroic Spirit Body will die once their magic power is exhausted.
It's not that his knowledge is lacking, it's just that the One Piece world is different from the Type-Moon World, and some conditions cannot be met.
Those he transformed into Heroic Spirit Body needed to have their mana replenished by him, except for a small amount obtained from eating food.
Those who are transformed into Heroic Spirit Body by his magical power will naturally live forever.
In other words, all the Heroic Spirit in the One Piece world need to rely on him to exist.
Fortunately, my magic power is inexhaustible, so I'm not afraid of any great depletion.
Luo Wen was not worried about the depletion of his magic power.
With the system's help, he himself became a perpetual motion machine of the perfect Third Magic, with inexhaustible magical power.
Providing him with women is not a problem at all; he could even double that number without any issue.
However, there are many ways to supply magic, such as drawing human life force through magic circles, absorbing ley line magic, and absorbing the magic emitted by the world...
But the most famous and convenient method is, of course, the exchange of bodily fluids.
To put it bluntly, it's the art of kissing with silky textures and undulating surfaces.
He was actually quite pleased with this.
"If we had to pay that much grain tax, my pre-transmigration self would probably be exhausted," Luo Wen stroked his chin and smiled gently. "But now, it doesn't matter how much comes."
The Third Magic granted him infinite magic and physical strength, making him a true perpetual motion machine.
Let alone seven times a night, even seven nights in one go wouldn't be a problem.
Satisfying the girls in my family is a piece of cake, of course.
In fact, that's always been his approach. He never neglected any of the girls he won over.
After all, leaving your wife unused will attract an evil creature called Old Wang.
"Don't think about that now, there are other things to discover."
Luo Wen shook the yellowish waste out of his mind.
Having completed the Winter Saintess Template, in addition to knowledge of the Third Magic, she also possesses magical knowledge inherited from the Einzbern Family.
Most of them were not very useful, but one of the magic tricks really caught his eye.
