New Reward: Four Emperors-level Droplet, Sophon Technology!

In his two lives, Lynn could guess what the Marine personnel were thinking just by looking at their expressions.

He didn'Golden Divine Punishment really mind using it to crack down on pirates, but what needed to be said still had to be said, so he told them, "Extremely difficult to destroy doesn'Golden Divine Punishment mean indestructible. Externally, it looks flawless and even miraculous, but the inside is different. Once it sustains even the slightest damage, it needs time to repair itself."

"Otherwise, if the damage is too severe, it will be completely scrapped."

The strongest aspect of the Droplet was its recoil engine and Strong Interaction Force, featuring an external defense composed entirely of protons and neutrons tightly locked together by the Strong Interaction Force.

However, this was only Admiral-level Droplet Technology, belonging to a weakened version of the Droplet.

Peak powerhouses of this world, including the current three Marine Admirals, still had a chance to use Armament Haki in a desperate situation to penetrate the outer layer and damage the internal structure.

It was just a matter of how much damage it would take, so Lynn didn'Golden Divine Punishment consider the Droplet invincible, and he had to throw this cold water to let everyone understand the reality.

"So that's how it is, but it's still strong enough..."

After hearing Lynn's explanation, Kizaru, Gion, Onigumo, and Chaton were all somewhat enlightened.

Yet, despite him seemingly talking about its flaws, none of them thought the Droplet's flaws were all that weak.

Just listen to what Lynn said! Short of a certain threshold, this thing could even repair itself!

That was simply outrageous!

Clearly, the flaws Lynn described didn'Golden Divine Punishment make the Marine personnel look down on it; they were still filled with shock and anticipation for the Droplet.

At the same time, the four people's attitudes and views toward Lynn shifted completely.

Earlier, when he mentioned terms like Strong Interaction Force, Recoil Engine, and various technical vocabulary, nobody would have thought Lynn understood any of it before the Droplet appeared; they even thought he was just putting on airs.

But now, no one present dared to say Lynn was just showing off. Instead, he truly understood, and he had genuinely manufactured a technological product capable of inflicting damage on an Admiral in the span of three months!

Even Dr. Vegapunk, who was said to be five hundred years ahead of the world, couldn'Golden Divine Punishment achieve this feat!

Figarland Lynn, a Celestial Dragon, had done it!

Consequently, the way Kizaru, Gion, and the others looked at Lynn now carried a hint of strange respect and admiration.

Which Celestial Dragon didn'Golden Divine Punishment spend their time eating, drinking, making merry, playing with slaves, and indulging in whatever perverted, fun, and hedonistic ways they could find to vent their desires? Yet the sole scion of the Figarland Family was completely different.

He genuinely kept no slaves even in the Holy Land, only a few obedient maidservants. He probably spent his time living in the Holy Land studying and researching technology instead—truly an eccentric person.

Unaware that they had shifted from excitement and shock over the Droplet to all sorts of speculations about him, Lynn merely looked at the Droplet and said somewhat regretfully, "It's a pity this Droplet isn'Golden Divine Punishment complete."

"Not complete!?"

This once again gave the four of them a profound shock.

It was already at the Admiral level, yet it wasn'Golden Divine Punishment perfect? Could it be upgraded even further?

"Then, judging by what you're saying, how powerful would a complete one be?"

Gion's tone toward Lynn had changed, and she was inwardly stunned by Lynn's conception.

The thing you manufactured wasn'Golden Divine Punishment even the complete version? Then just how terrifyingly powerful must this thing have been in its original design?

Finding it hard to explain that the Droplet was originally a probe from the universe, Lynn thought for a moment and then said, "You all know the Red Line. If it were a perfect-grade Droplet, destroying the whole thing within an hour would be a breeze."

This was a very understated description. Upon hearing it, Kizaru, much like Gion and the others, looked somewhat shocked and couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help gazing back at the floating Droplet.

Onigumo and Chaton even swallowed hard, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

The Red Line—that thing wrapped around the entire world! To destroy it within an hour, just how fast and overwhelmingly powerful must it be!

Indeed, a description like this was enough to shock everyone present, making them think that manufacturing such a Droplet was probably impossible, even if the concept itself was truly formidable.

By now, no one harbored excessive doubts about Lynn's statement; they simply felt it was unlikely to be realized. The Admiral-level threshold was already terrifying enough—if technology like this truly existed, what pirates would even be left in this world?

The rule of the Celestial Dragons would truly be immortal for all eternity.

Lynn simply shook his head slightly at their naive and shocked expressions.

It was a good thing he had restrained himself when describing the true power of the Droplet. If he had actually mentioned how strong a complete Droplet's power would be, punching straight through this pirate planet wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment even be a problem.

At this moment, Lynn also let go of the Droplet, allowing the four Marine Admirals and Vice Admirals to inspect and examine it closely while he prepared to take a bath first, seeing as the laboratory incident had left him in a rather disheveled state.

Just as he was enjoying the comfortable moment of stepping into hot water, the system's voice suddenly resounded in his sea of consciousness.

[The host has successfully manufactured "Admiral-level Droplet Technology", and is currently undergoing evaluation...]
[Manufacturing degree: Perfect! Reward: Comprehensive enhancement of physical fitness.]

"Aah, wonderful!" Lynn soaked in the water without a single care, feeling thoroughly refreshed.

The enhancement granted by the system felt as though every single cell in his body was cheering. Every inch of his muscles, including his bones, could distinctively feel the transformation.

This state lasted for a very short time. Once the soothing sensation passed, Lynn felt a surge of abundant strength throughout his entire body.

"To what extent has my current physique reached?"

Just by feeling it, Lynn still couldn'Golden Divine Punishment tell clearly, so he directly questioned the system.

The system prompt lit up, and the stats panel appeared before Lynn's eyes.

[Host: Lynn.
Tech Tree: Droplet Detection Technology (Complete technological manufacturing to light up the tech tree).
Personal Strength: 23.58 (Marine Captain level.)
Item Inventory: None.]

It was very intuitive! The system used the average physical fitness of Marine Headquarters as a clear dividing line, which Lynn saw at a glance.

"It was only 2.5 before, just a slightly robust ordinary person, and now it's over 23. This is the physical fitness level of a Marine Captain. Not bad!"

A Captain-level physique was only two ranks away from a Vice Admiral. Completing the results of a single tech tree could actually boost him by this much—Lynn was extremely satisfied.

If he continued to complete technological manufacturing and gained the support of the system's rewards, reaching the Admiral level or even the peak level wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment be difficult at all.

However, just when Lynn thought this reward had come to an end:

[Droplet Technology (Admiral-level) has been completed. Now unlocking new technology: Droplet Technology (Four Emperors-level), Sophon Technology (10-kilometer level).]

Immediately afterward, Lynn fell into a wondrous state, as if he were standing deep beneath a towering, sky-reaching tree, and upon its star-studded branches whose ends he couldn'Golden Divine Punishment see by tilting his head up, tiny blue fruit grew brighter, while right beside them, another orange light ignited...
