System Functions and Beginner Gift Pack

Yang Yunzhi was an old Tomato user, so he was naturally no stranger to systems. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he calmly pretended to be someone who used systems all the time. "System, introduce your functions!"

"Yes, Host. This system is called the Justice System. You must join a righteous faction and do things that align with justice in order to receive rewards. Rewards are divided into basic rewards and lotteries."

"Justice?" Yang Yunzhi froze. His first thought was the Marines, but the Marines did not seem very just either. They were nothing more than the Celestial Dragons' lackeys.

Don't give him that crap about even a bad order being better than disorder. A bad order should be destroyed and replaced with a new one!

But pirates were not just either. As for the Revolutionary Army, their actions were pretty ridiculous too. They just drove out a bad king and replaced him with a good one. What was the point of that?

Looking at it this way, none of the three major factions in the One Piece World seemed suitable for him to join!

Yang Yunzhi asked, "What exactly is the standard for this justice?"

"Justice has no standard, or rather, you are the standard of justice!" the system replied. "I am your system, and my purpose is to assist you. Therefore, the justice you recognize is naturally my justice!"

"It can work like that?" Yang Yunzhi was stunned, but he quickly grew excited.

That was how it should be!

I may not consider myself a righteous person, but compared to the people of the One Piece World, a socialist successor who received nine years of compulsory education and Marxist-Leninist-Mao Zedong-Deng Xiaoping thought could not possibly be any more righteous.

"What are these basic rewards and lotteries?" Yang Yunzhi asked again.

"The execution of justice requires a vessel, usually a position, rank, or military rank!" the system answered. "Whenever you are promoted, the system will assess the average strength of people holding that position in the current world, then grant you strength one level above that position as a basic reward! At the same time, every promotion grants you one lottery chance, with prizes drawn from countless worlds!"

Yang Yunzhi thought for a moment and asked, "So if I join the Marines and become a third-class seaman, you'll give me the strength of a second-class seaman. If I become a second-class seaman, you'll give me the strength of a first-class seaman. Then every time I'm promoted, such as from third-class seaman to second-class seaman, I can draw once!?"

"That is correct!" the system replied.

Yang Yunzhi understood.

It seemed that the basic rewards would come sooner or later, so they were not important.

The important thing was getting as many lottery chances as possible.

Therefore, he needed to join a system with many ranks so he could obtain more lottery chances.

The upper limit of that system also had to be as high as possible, so he could reach the ceiling of this world.

And that system could not have a ceiling based on bloodline, or he would never be promoted no matter how strong he became.

"Looking at it this way, it seems I can only become a Marine!"

The Marine ranks were third-class seaman, second-class seaman, first-class seaman, Second Lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, commodore/rear admiral, rear admiral, vice admiral, General, and fleet admiral.

That made fourteen ranks in total, allowing him to obtain thirteen lottery chances.

Moreover, Marine promotions were relatively transparent. As long as he had strength and could kill pirates, he could keep advancing.

The Marines also had no ceiling on positions. As long as he was strong enough, he could be promoted directly to General.

If he became strong enough afterward, becoming fleet admiral would not be impossible either.

After that, a fleet admiral could be promoted to commander-in-chief of the entire military, above whom were the Five Elders and Imu.

However, without Celestial Dragon blood, becoming one of the Five Elders was impossible.

But by the time he rose to fleet admiral, he would probably be ready to lead the Marines in rebellion. Once the rebellion succeeded, he could appoint himself to whatever post he wanted, so being short one or two ranks would not matter.

"Isn't this number of lottery chances too low? Even if I rise all the way to the top, I'll only get thirteen in total! Right, besides basic rewards and lotteries, do you have any other functions?" Yang Yunzhi asked again. "Is there a beginner gift pack? And what Devil Fruit was that thing you just ate? Does it have abilities too?"

If it were an ordinary Zoan, it would be fine. But if it were a Mythical Zoan, Yang Yunzhi would find it a real pity.

"This system also provides a Justice Value gauge! You may use Justice Value for lotteries. When the Justice Value gauge is full, you will definitely gain a promotion opportunity!" the system said.

"It has that function too?" Yang Yunzhi became even more excited. After all, becoming fleet admiral required a recommendation from the previous fleet admiral. But now, as long as his Justice Value gauge was full, he could be promoted.

As for how the system would get him promoted, it was a system. If it could handle Pangu Blood Essence, could it not handle a mere fleet admiral position?

"If I use Justice Value for lotteries, can I still use it to get promoted?" Yang Yunzhi asked.

"No!"

Yang Yunzhi understood.

"As for the Devil Fruit you just consumed, it was a Paramecia-type Color-Color Fruit!"

Yang Yunzhi was stunned at first, then immediately regretted it. "The Color-Color Fruit? Does getting lewd make you stronger? You swallowed it? Can you give it back to me?"

System: ...

"This is a fruit that can control colors and alter the color of anything!"

"This fruit is pretty powerful! Still, it isn't much of a loss."

Yang Yunzhi instantly thought of how this fruit could be developed.

First, transparency was the most basic application. Second, he could create convex lenses in the air and concentrate sunlight to attack enemies.

Finally, he could change the air's light transmission over a wide area and use the sun's ultraviolet rays to give people cancer.

This was a city-level ability!

However, the fruit's offensive power was not very straightforward, and developing such abilities would definitely require a great deal of hardship. So having the system swallow it was not such a terrible loss.

Still, Devil Fruit development depended entirely on imagination, so perhaps it would have been possible to develop an ability where getting lewd made him stronger.

"By the way, you have an unclaimed beginner gift pack. Would you like to claim it?"

"Claim it, claim it, claim it!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained Portable Space, Personal AI, and a Mind Map!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Yang Yunzhi felt his mind tremble. Then, an additional space appeared in his consciousness.

The space was not large, only one cubic meter. There was also a blue ball of light inside it, which was the Personal AI.

A small map had also appeared in the upper-right corner of his field of vision.

There was nothing much to see in the space or the AI, so Yang Yunzhi opened the map. He discovered that it covered a range of one hundred meters around himself, making a diameter of two hundred meters.

Within that two-hundred-meter range, there were not only buildings, streets, and trees, but also many moving white dots on the streets.

However, one dot beneath his building was pale green.

"White dots should be strangers, and pale green means friendly?" Yang Yunzhi guessed.

It seemed this map was quite useful. Not only could it be used to catch spies, it could also serve as a loyalty or favorability system.

"The space capacity, AI computing power, and map area are linked to your position. The higher your position, the larger the space, the stronger the AI computing power, the greater the map's coverage, and the richer its functions!" the system said. "Host, do you have any further questions?"

"No." Yang Yunzhi nodded. Next, he only needed to find a Marine base and enlist.

"Since you have no further questions, my system guidance mission has been completed. The system assistant is withdrawing!"

"Hm?" Yang Yunzhi froze. "System, are you leaving? System? System?"

"I'm here!" Another voice sounded, but it was clearly not the same one from before.

"And who are you?"

"I am your Personal AI! You may give me a name!"

"Uh..." Yang Yunzhi did not know what the point of this was. One assistant had left, and another had arrived. Still, it was fine. He had used AI quite often in his previous life, and he had genuinely felt unaccustomed to life without it these past years.

"Then I'll call you Little Bean!" The AI Yang Yunzhi often used was called Doubao, but he obviously could not use that name directly, so Little Bean would do!

"Understood!"

"Little Bean, what can you do?"

"I can help you write, draw, produce videos, translate texts, program, and answer professional knowledge questions!"

"Not bad. With those abilities, getting a civilian General position in the Marines should not be a problem!" Yang Yunzhi was pleasantly surprised. He had heard earlier that this AI would upgrade alongside his position, and he had assumed the initial version would be little more than an artificial idiot.

"Please rate the system assistant. One point means very dissatisfied, two points dissatisfied, three points average, four points satisfied, and five points extremely satisfied!"

"That's for evaluating the previous assistant, right? Then five points..." Yang Yunzhi had delivered food himself before and knew that everyone had it hard, so he did not like giving low ratings. Either he did not rate at all, or he gave five stars.
