Chapter 208: The Founding of the Alabasta Family

She quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "As long as I obtain the Family Token, can it be guaranteed that we won't be invaded by pirates?"

"From now on, Alabasta will not be the only family on this vast sea; there will also be conflicts between families."

Fang Yi did not hide anything and explained, "However, Alabasta, having become a family, has the opportunity to become powerful. As long as the will to protect the family is firm enough, the family can be protected."

"An opportunity to become stronger?"

Vivi quickly made her decision, her beautiful eyes filled with determination, and said, "If everything is true, I am willing!"

To continue watching helplessly as Alabasta is destroyed by the Sand Crocodile, or to exchange a large area of the island and shrink back to wait for a hope of rising.

It was not a difficult choice.

"Transaction complete."

A pure white Family Token with an exquisite design landed in Vivi's hand.

Vivi moved her mind.

The palm-sized Family Token shot into the clouds at an extremely fast speed, scattering white light.

The area covered by the white light was quickly cut off from its connection to the Pirate World Consciousness and enveloped by the rules of the Samsara Game.

A clan monument rose from the ground.

With the clan monument as the center, a circle of thick desert walls gathered, wrapping up all the land within the Family Territory.

【Alabasta Family】

Family Level: 1

Family Badge: None

Family Buildings: Clan Monument (if destroyed, the family is disbanded), Level 1 Jiazu Chenqiang

Clan Head: Nefertari Vivi

Clan Official: None

Family Members: 1/200

Family Assets: 900,000 Reward Points.

Unlike the Ninja World, the Ninja World Consciousness is willing to cooperate for a win-win situation.

Therefore, Fang Yi adopted a leasing form, renting out the territory of the Samsara Game to players to establish families.

But the Pirate World Consciousness refused to cooperate.

Fang Yi did not indulge it either, directly cutting off the connection between Alabasta and the Pirate World entirely. As the princess of the Alabasta royal family, Vivi naturally inherited this portion of the origin and turned it into Reward Points.

"Is this the Alabasta Family?"

Pieces of information regarding the Family System flooded into Vivi's head, making her feel a bit dizzy.

Following the guidance of the information,

Vivi directly purchased a random Family Badge in the 【First-Tier Family Shop】.

【Purchase successful, congratulations on obtaining the Family Badge 【Sand Flow Control】!】

A badge that looked like flowing sand was embedded into the clan monument.

Vivi, hiding in the ruins of buildings submerged by yellow sand, suddenly felt something and reached out her hand.

Large swathes of yellow sand were moved as if by an invisible pair of giant hands, rustling as they fell to the ground.

Soon,

the buildings originally submerged by the yellow sand gradually revealed their complete appearance.

Vivi kept running, and wherever she passed, the raging yellow sand seemed to be imprisoned, retreating like a tide.

Soon,

this town called Eruma was completely pulled out from the yellow sand, revealing the prosperous foundation of the former desert pearl.

Vivi looked at her own hands in disbelief and asked, "Is this the power of the Family Badge?"

"A Level 1 Family Badge doesn't have a very strong effect."

Fang Yi smiled and explained, "Sand Flow Control is a combat-skill type badge. It can grant family members the ability to control flowing sand. The strength is roughly equivalent to a power user who has just eaten the Sand-Sand Fruit and is not yet proficient."

"Of course, it can only control flowing sand, but it cannot perform elementalization; that is a different badge."

He did not expect that Vivi, having just founded the family, would immediately purchase a Family Badge.

Was it because the desire to save Alabasta was too strong, or was she unaware of how precious Reward Points are?

"All family members?"

Hearing this, Vivi widened her eyes.

The Family System information told her that as long as the other party was willing, she could recruit anyone as a family member.

Initial members: 200 people.

Continuously expanding the Family Housing can increase the number of family members.

Fang Yi nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right."

"In other words..."

Vivi said in disbelief, "One Family Badge can allow two hundred people to possess the ability to control flowing sand?"

Fang Yi corrected her, "At least two hundred people."

Otherwise, how could a Family Badge sell for the same sky-high price as some inferior Bloodlines?

Although the Samsara Game requires "krypton gold" (spending money), you get what you pay for, and it will absolutely not cut corners.

"Expanding the family building 【Family Housing】 will allow for more new family members, and they will also share the ability of Sand Flow Control."

Fang Yi said it nonchalantly,

but Vivi unconsciously opened her mouth, and even her image management slipped a little.

Originally, she had thought,

that two hundred elite soldiers with Quicksand Control were already powerful enough, but she had not expected that this was merely the beginning; in the future, she could even turn this troop of two hundred soldiers into a legion!

Vivi asked somewhat impatiently: "Can I recruit family members now?"

Because Sand Crocodile had suddenly rushed to the East Blue,

the Rebel Army was already preparing to attack the royal capital; if they could not be stopped in time, countless citizens would die in this meaningless civil strife.

Fang Yi reminded her: "With your current speed, even if you ride a Moving Crab, you won't make it in time."

"Then I can't just stand here and watch my people slaughter each other!"

Vivi felt very regretful;

she should have let Karoo come with her, but at the time, she had been afraid of encountering danger and had left him in the port town while she snuck away.

Fang Yi spoke up to remind her again: "In the Family Shop, there are things you want."

Small Family Teleportation Scroll: After use, can instantly teleport 50 family members to a designated location within 5000km of the Family Territory. Price: 5000 Reward Points.

Telepathic Communicator: After use, can establish a brief connection with a living being within 5000km of the Family Territory whose favorability has reached 50; the number of people per communication does not exceed 5. Price: 3000 Reward Points.

The former was a short-range teleportation scroll, and the latter was an auxiliary tool used to recruit new players.

Under normal circumstances, no one would be extravagant enough to purchase a Telepathic Communicator; after all, walking a few extra steps could save a four-digit amount of Reward Points.

But for Vivi right now, it was a divine artifact.

"Purchase Telepathic Communicator."

After seeing the functions clearly, Vivi's face lit up with joy, and she directly purchased the item to use it.

【Establishing temporary telepathic communication channel... Random life form capture in progress...】

"Quack!"

"Is that you, Karoo?"

"Quack, quack, quack!"

A familiar duck call suddenly rang out in her mind.

The deceived Karoo kept making angry sounds, complaining that Vivi had abandoned him.

"I'm sorry, Karoo. I need your help right now. Please don't refuse me, okay?"

"Quack."

Although angry, Karoo still nodded heavily.

【You have successfully recruited a new family member: Karoo】

"Karoo, go to the Rebel Army's main camp now and stop the rebellion!"

"Quack?"

Karoo's body stiffened,

and regardless of whether Vivi could see him, he pointed his short, stubby wing at his own bewildered duck head.

The meaning was... you want me to go stop the rebellion?

As if she could feel Karoo's emotions, Vivi hurriedly said: "Dummy, feel it, you are different now!"

"Quack?"

Karoo raised his wing in confusion, not feeling anything...

A thick stream of quicksand was suddenly lifted by his flapping wing, like a sand dragon soaring into the sky.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

Karoo's eyes were almost popping out, his duck head filled with great confusion and shock.

"Don't ask for now, I will explain it to you later. With your current abilities, Karoo, the Rebel Army cannot hurt you. Go quickly, I will arrive shortly after!"

"Quack!"

Karoo's expression turned serious; he lifted his head and sprinted toward the direction of the Rebel Army's main camp.

Now is Karoo unit time!
