Chapter 102: Nineteenth Day After Returning Home (230,000 Nutrient Solution Plus) Difficult...

Nineteenth day after returning home:

Hawkeye actually didn't have much hostility. After all, his previous observations made him basically certain that the leader of the revolutionary army really cared about Wendy with the mentality of a brother.

But at the same time, the identity of the leader of the revolutionary army is also quite sensitive, which means that he must put his career goals first.

Perhaps because Wendy first encountered Monkey D. Dragon upon her arrival, she also has a high level of trust in him and seems to occasionally listen to his advice. This is difficult for her to do as she pleases, given her stubborn and unyielding nature.

Long didn't know what he was thinking, but he kept reading the newspaper.

Although his original intention was not to read gossip but to keep an eye on the world situation, he still didn't miss out on the excitement. Therefore, he understood Hawkeye's subtle rejection.

"I came here specifically to see Wendy." Long's expression became more serious. "Because I have something to ask you. You can sit in."

Wendy was originally feeling lucky that she had gotten Luffy home quickly and that Dragon hadn't discovered her child-stealing behavior. Upon hearing this, she tilted her head, a look of complete confusion on her face: "Me?"

***

Long came to see Wendy because he really had something serious to discuss.

Although he could talk on Den Den Mushi...but there was a possibility of being eavesdropped, and some things couldn't be explained clearly just over the phone, especially since he knew Wendy's speaking style and personality.

Hawkeye didn't sit in on the conversation, instead taking Sabo to the other side. Firstly, Long was clearly having serious business to discuss, and insisting on sitting in would make him seem petty. Secondly, if he knew the truth, he could ask Wendy, and she would tell him.

"Do you plan to build a second area in the New World?" When Long saw Wendy say "build a second home in the New World" in the newspaper, he naturally did not think the same as others, but directly considered the reason why the other party did so based on Wendy's ultimate goal.

Wendy nodded: "Yes, I want to build a second home."

Long showed a look of understanding and asked, "You were right to reject Big Mom's offer... But are you planning to establish a base in Red Hair's territory after he becomes the new Four Emperors?"

Of course, Long knew that Wendy and Shanks had no children. The rumored child was his, and had nothing to do with either of them. He also knew everything Wendy had experienced since coming to this world, leaving no blanks. He was also well-versed in Wendy's love history.

Therefore, his thoughts on the relationship between the two were entirely official and without any personal feelings.

Wendy sighed, "That won't work. Mihawk won't agree."

Long: "..." Then he is quite nosy.

Wendy shook her head as she spoke: "Last time, Shanks said he wanted to marry me and he disagreed... Really, there's nothing I can do about him. Even though they are friends, they might have conflicts too."

Long: “…” That’s… uh, quite understandable.

He suddenly understood Hawkeye's attitude.

"So I'm planning to build my own home in the New World!" Wendy was talking about her home-building plan with great enthusiasm. She really liked sharing this with her friends, and she was planning to call them to tell them if Long didn't come.

"I got the blueprints for Pluto from Uncle Tom, and I'm almost halfway through collecting the materials. The rest are rare materials I haven't found yet, so if you come across them, remember to get them for me, Long. I'll come get them when the time comes." Wendy said, pulling out a list—she had Hawkeye write it down, and she made several copies, planning to give them to her friends out exploring to keep them on the lookout.

This is the significance of finding exploratory partners, and it is also their obligation!

Long stared blankly at the list the other party handed him. Only after he took it did he realize what the other party was talking about. His pupils trembled for a moment. "The Pluto you mentioned... is it the ancient weapon Pluto? Have you got the blueprints?"

He had only heard Wendy say that she had become a partner with Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder, and then she asked if there was a ship that could hit the Yarchiman mangroves... He didn't expect that she was still pushing forward on this matter!

"Yes." Wendy nodded happily, not waiting for Long to digest the matter. "Then, I also want to open the Celestial Line and the Shadow Line. But I haven't found the Celestial Key yet. Can you help me find it?"

"...Wait a minute, let's get back to the topic of Pluto." Long stopped the other party's information bombardment and asked calmly, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to hit the Yarqi Mangrove Tree. Is that also related to Pluto?"

Wendy nodded. "Yes, by hitting the mangroves, you can get water wood to grow giant trees, which can ensure a constant temperature in the house."

Long translated it for himself - Wendy wanted to obtain mangrove seeds, plant a new Sabaody Archipelago, and open up new land to build her own territory.

Although it sounds like a fantasy, with Wendy obtaining Pluto and her magical abilities, it feels feasible for her to do so... and since she can do it, he will not stop her.

This is the other party's business, and even as a companion, you are not allowed to interfere.

"But even if you cultivate your own territory, you still need sea area... Are you planning to build a home in the New World? Where?"

Wendy thought for a moment and replied with great confidence, "I'll build it wherever I see fit!"

Long: “…” That’s not impossible.

After all, everyone has obtained Pluto's words, so no matter where it is established, others can only grit their teeth and accept it.

Wendy, the Pluto, could instantly ascend to the New World Emperor level. Although she was slightly short on manpower compared to other factions, her destructive warships more than made up for this small shortcoming.

Long silently digested this fact and asked the next question: "I know about your plan to build a family... What about the celestial ray and the shadow ray? Is it related to your main quest?"

"The Shadow quest will start underground first. The Celestial quest requires defeating Celestial Bosses and completing pre-quests... but the Celestial quests in this world should be different from the previous ones," Wendy said, her words difficult to understand. Frowning, she began to narrate, "Generally speaking, I need to find three Moon Altars, plug them into Celestial Rifts, and then activate the Celestial quest. Then, a Lunar Storm Zone will randomly spawn in the world. I'll go there and find Wagstaff... a great inventor. I'll help him complete his inventions, protect him, and then complete his unfinished experiments. Finally, defeat the Celestial Hero, and the main Celestial quest will be complete! I can get the super cool Enlightenment Crown! After that, I have to fight Celestial Descendants, which is quite troublesome. Anyway, it's a very long main quest."

Wendy really wanted the Enlightenment Crown. Firstly, it was beautiful, and secondly, it didn't consume any durability, could stay lit in the dark, and continuously restored sanity.

Long, struggling to understand, translated the words himself—Crown of Enlightenment? Celestial Descendants? Could it be that the crown, symbolizing the Wendy family's throne, had been stolen, and she was going to get it back? It did sound like there was a lot to do… though most of it was incomprehensible.

Long actually only understood the part about the inventor, and he felt that the inventor Wendy mentioned had a sense of déjà vu...

"Wagstaff?" he asked hesitantly.

"Hmm... Lao Wa might have a different name like my uncle. But he should be the smartest inventor in the world! I'll draw it for you!" Wendy said excitedly, picking up a piece of paper and pen and starting to draw Lao Wa's image. Although it was a simple sketch.

Long took the blueprint and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment and thought: "I think I should know who the old Wa you are talking about..."

"Hey? Long, have you seen Old Wa? Could it be that the celestial line has actually been opened?" Wendy jumped up from her chair upon hearing this news, ran around the table to Long, and looked at him with wide eyes, "Where is he?"

After a moment's hesitation, Long finally told him, "If you're talking about the world's greatest inventor, there's only one person... the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, Vegapunk. However, he joined the World Government many years ago and works for them. If you want him to work for you, you'll be directly confronting the World Government."

***

After Long and Wendy talked for a while, they left with Sabo.

In addition to telling Wendy about Vega Punk, he also explained that the World Government has realized the threat posed by the Revolutionary Army, and that after this World Conference, they will probably increase their targeting of the Revolutionary Army. He asked Wendy to hide her partnership with him until she was ready.

At the end, he specifically instructed Wendy to call him immediately if she had any problems in the future - because he didn't want Wendy to start using Pluto to criticize Mary Geoise one day. He still saw this incident in the newspaper.

Wendy agreed and stuffed a bunch of food into Sabo's backpack. She waved goodbye to the two of them, then excitedly told Hawkeye: "Mihawk, Mihawk! There's news about the Celestial Line from the Dragon side! It seems that I can complete the main quest and get the Enlightenment Crown without opening the Celestial Rift!"

Hmm...it seems they are really just discussing business. - Hawkeye nodded: "What news?"

"Long said that the old man I'm looking for is Vega Punk."

"Vegapunk?" Hawkeye was stunned.

He had also heard of this name. After all, Vegapunk was arguably the most famous genius inventor... but he remembered...

"I remember he is working for the World Government now. Are you going to ask him for some news?" Hawkeye asked.

If that were the case, then with Wendy's current status, she could actually negotiate with Garp and Sengoku to get this opportunity...

"Yeah! Long also said he's with the World Government, so all we have to do is find him and move him over to me so I can create a Celestial Hero!" Wendy said happily, "He comes over, and I'll help him complete his unfinished invention!"

...Move? This seems like a direct confrontation with the World Government is highly likely.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of time.

Hawkeye remained silent, thinking seriously about one thing - if Wendy really did what she wanted, she would snatch the World Government's scientific research talents, sabotage the World Government's plans, declare war on the World Government, hunt Celestial Dragons for fun, and eventually attack Mary Geoise... Then, is Wendy actually the real leader of the Revolutionary Army?

"But Vegapunk may not listen to you..." Hawkeye sighed, frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Red Hair may know more about him... or he can find someone in the New World who is engaged in underground intelligence transactions."

The author has something to say: It’s time to choose between two options (not really) [Cai Gou]

The main storyline of Don't Starve is really fun! I love it! I especially love the Crown of Enlightenment!

And Old Wald and Vegapunk really look alike, you can find out if you search for it... I suspect all genius inventors have this look. Including Rick (X)

Okay! The foreshadowing is almost done, and the next chapter is about to start a new chapter! Farming literature is always accompanied by infrastructure! [狗头]

PS: Although I can't keep up with the nutrient solution updates! But please don't stop giving me nutrient solution! After all, I've already arranged for the second illustration and you haven't seen the first one yet! I actually want to show you! (You) The second illustration is with Wendy & the adult AS, which is an illustration of the subsequent plot (I always feel like it's a bit of a spoiler)

But if I reach 250,000 nutrient solutions today, I’ll just post the illustrations tomorrow!
