Chapter 202: The Appearance of Saint Imu

A shudder originating from the depths of the soul.

This world, much like that shattered island, seemed meaningless in the eyes of the Game Merchant, left to be kneaded and molded at will.

"Five Elders!"

The Leader of the Revolutionary Army, sensing something was wrong, said angrily: "Mr. Fang Yi has already issued a warning that exchanging too many assets at once will cause interference to the world. Are you not afraid of the chaos?!"

Even the Game Merchant had spoken to dissuade them,

indicating that this method of exchange would surely have irreversible consequences, yet the Five Elders ignored it, considering only how they could curry favor with Fang Yi.

"The Samsara Game values absolute fairness."

Feeling a massive amount of origin energy pouring in frantically, the corners of Fang Yi's mouth curled up, a feeling of indescribable satisfaction.

In the center of his palm, a card emitting a pure purple radiance appeared.

Then it fell downward, hovering steadily in front of Spandam, who was so scared his legs had gone weak, nearly causing him to collapse to the ground.

"This is..."

Spandam's lips trembled slightly, not daring to reach out to take the card.

A line of black text popped up,

【Game Merchant's Zixiang Kuizeng (5/5)】.

Fang Yi explained the use of the Zixiang Kuizeng, saying: "By consuming the charges of this card, you can obtain five items of Purple Quality destiny goods for free."

It was similar to how some Game Players constantly give gifts to NPCs, receiving rewards once their favorability reaches a certain level.

The actions of the Five Elders had just reached this standard.

Saturn asked with some excitement: "Mr. Fang Yi, is it the same destiny item as the one the Rebel Army Leader has?"

Fang Yi explained patiently: "The Magic Fortress is of Silver quality; the Zixiang Kuizeng can only open items up to Purple Quality at most. However, some slightly weaker items of the same type can still be found."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Fang Yi!"

Saturn had not expected such an unexpected joy.

Even if it wasn't the Silver quality Magic Fortress, as long as there was a fortress of the same type, with his scientific Warrior God research capabilities and the help of Vegapunk's Brain-Brain Fruit, it shouldn't be difficult to create an item of the same grade, right?

The crowd was in an uproar,

looking with envy and jealousy at the purple card in front of Spandam.

In the Game House of most players, apart from the initial welfare update, the rest were all White and Green quality goods; Blue quality was considered a relatively rare item.

Only after carefully reading the information on the 【Random Key】 did they understand,

there were hidden conditions within it.

The more 【Random Key】s consumed, the greater the probability of refreshing high-level goods.

For every 10 keys consumed, a Green Gem would condense on the shelves of the Game House.

For every 100 keys consumed, a Blue Gem would condense on the shelves of the Game House.

These gems of different colors could increase the probability of high-quality destiny goods appearing.

The most treacherous part was,

after the Game House refreshed automatically every week, these gems would automatically disappear, requiring the player to consume 【Random Key】s again to accumulate them.

That is to say,

for an ordinary player to buy a Purple Quality destiny item in the Game House, and for that item to also fit their own abilities, the probability was pitifully low.

Smoker was able to buy the 【Fire Poison Technique】 only because he had refreshed it enough times.

Otherwise,

if one wanted to rely purely on luck, the limit would be randomly getting some Lv. 5~10 Purple Equipment at most.

Fang Yi wore a polite smile and waved his hand, saying: "Everything is an Equivalent Exchange."

"Mr. Fang Yi, with the help of the World Government, the Navy can escort you, and the speed at which you spread the Samsara Game will also be faster."

Saturn still had not given up, wanting to win over the Game Merchant.

However, unlike his previous arrogant attitude, it was now more of an expectation and a request.

For an existence that could not be controlled yet could bring such huge benefits, it was naturally impossible for the Five Elders to give up on trying to win him over.

As long as the other party was willing to cooperate with the World Government,

even if he wanted to destroy islands, slaughter the Si Hai, or turn this ocean upside down, it would not matter; they could make concessions.

"I am sorry, although it is a bit direct to say it this way."

Fang Yi shook his head in refusal, saying: "As long as I am willing, even if all the forces of this ocean were to unite, they would be unable to interfere with my will."

The voice was calm,

as if he were stating a very ordinary matter, without any deliberate boasting or exaggeration.

Yet, it was precisely such words that left people unable to refute.

The Five Elders were silent.

The players also collectively remained silent.

Even those arrogant Pirates who were usually wild had no one to question the Game Merchant's words.

The Five Elders had questioned him before, and then what?

The other party directly fabricated a Navy Headquarters, encompassing most of the peak combat power of this ocean.

At this moment,

an abrupt voice rang out.

A Pacifista that had been watching emitted a stiff electronic sound: "May I ask, what is your purpose in coming to this ocean?"

The crowd's gazes shifted over,

"It's Bartholomew Kuma!"

"Running dogs of the World Government, tyrants who destroy kingdoms!"

"No, that is a Pacifista..."

High-ranking Navy officers like Vice Admiral Tsuru could identify the difference at a glance.

Although,

a tyrant is also considered a powerhouse in this ocean, capable of being granted the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea by the World Government.

But it depends on who they are being compared to.

Even the Five Elders have yielded to the game merchant, yet a Seven Warlords of the Sea dares to jump out at a time like this?

Only,

the Five Elders within the palace of Mary Geoise,

Nasushoulang Sheng frowned and said: "Who is it, Vegapunk or the Navy?"

To jump out at this time; if the game merchant is angered, this debt will still be counted against the World Government.

"Neither... even I cannot control the Pacifista."

Saturn's muffled voice rang out.

The expressions of the other four changed slightly.

There is only one possibility for this situation, and that is that the person currently controlling the Pacifista has a higher authority than the Five Elders.

Someone who can possess higher control authority than the Five Elders,

the Flower Room, Lord Imu!

Seeing this,

the Five Elders instructed Spandam to put away that gift card and return to Mary Geoise as soon as possible, then fell into silence.

"Lord Imu, above the Five Elders, the true ruler of the World Government?"

The corners of Fang Yi's eyes carried a smile; although it was a questioning tone, his eyes were certain.

"That is correct, it is I."

The Pacifista emitted an electronically synthesized voice.

The short words,

almost caused Morgans, this Albatross fruit user and news president, to faint from excitement.

"The highest authority of the World Government, the untold secrets between Lord Imu and the game merchant!"

Stuffed into the bag hanging around the neck of the news agency's albatross, it was rapidly transmitted out.

"It is... Lord Imu!"

In a short time, from the Haki and arrogance of the Five Elders' appearance to their yielding after being frightened by the game merchant,

everyone was almost numbed by the shock of the continuous reversals,

but the appearance of Imu still made their hearts tremble uncontrollably.

Some words,

if asked from the mouth of a Seven Warlords of the Sea, would not stir up too much of a ripple.

But if asked from the mouth of the ruler at the pinnacle of the world, that represents the entire Pirate World questioning the game merchant.

Fang Yi's scrutinizing gaze landed on the Pacifista.

In the Flower Room,

Lord Imu, who had never appeared to the outside world, inexplicably felt an indescribable sensation,

as if no secret could remain hidden, seen through at a glance by the game merchant from another world.
