Chapter 101: Trash system! (Second update)

The Going Merry raised its sails,

sailing slowly on the White-White Sea,

and soon arrived at the beach on the outskirts of Angel Island.

After stopping the ship,

the members of the Straw Hat Pirates jumped down one after another,

playing wantonly on the beach and the White-White Sea,

feeling the various clouds unique to the Sky Island!

Li Xiao stood alone at the bow of the ship,

looking at Luffy and the others who were scattered below,

and silently chose to check in in his heart!

However,

Li Xiao waited for a full ten seconds,

and no system prompt sound came to his mind!

The check-in failed!

That is to say,

in the system’s judgment,

the Going Merry didn’t count as a valid check-in location!

Li Xiao frowned slightly,

and gradually fell into deep thought!

As early as the beginning of his transmigration,

Li Xiao had a full understanding of the system in his mind!

This simple system was called the Immortal Cultivation Check-in System,

and the system’s functions were as simple and easy to understand as its name!

Li Xiao could check in at different locations,

and the more special the check-in location, the richer the rewards!

However,

precisely because the functions were simple,

the system didn’t give specific explanations for some related problems,

and Li Xiao could only explore them bit by bit himself!

For example,

what kind of location counted as a valid check-in location?

At first,

Li Xiao thought that only islands counted as valid check-in locations!

Until he was in the East Blue,

and tried to check in at the floating restaurant Baratie,

and after the check-in was successful,

this conclusion was overturned!

Because essentially,

the floating restaurant Baratie was just a ship!

But Li Xiao was able to check in successfully at Baratie!

Thus,

Li Xiao guessed at the time

that in the system’s judgment,

perhaps ships also counted as valid check-in locations!

Later,

after Li Xiao left Baratie,

he had tested this several times,

attempting to check in on various merchant ships or ordinary pirate ships,

yet every single attempt failed without exception!

Looking at it this way,

Li Xiao’s initial guess clearly didn't hold up,

and the sea restaurant Baratie was perhaps just a special exception!

However,

just at that moment,

Li Xiao accidentally stumbled into the Florian Triangle,

ended up on Moria’s pirate ship—Thriller Bark,

and successfully checked in once again,

receiving quite a generous check-in reward to boot!

Therefore,

Li Xiao further speculated

that perhaps only certain special ships

were considered valid check-in locations by the system!

To further verify this guess,

Li Xiao checked in on the Going Merry!

After all,

when it came to special ships,

as the first pirate ship of the Straw Hat Pirates,

the Going Merry was absolutely second to none.

But,

to Li Xiao’s disappointment,

when he silently chose to check in while on the Going Merry,

the system showed no reaction at all!

Clearly,

in the system’s judgment,

the Going Merry did not count as a valid check-in location either!

This current situation

undoubtedly overturned Li Xiao’s previous guess once again,

yet it didn't completely overturn it!

In the system’s judgment,

there were indeed some special ships that counted as valid check-in locations,

but their special nature did not lie in the significance the ships held!

Li Xiao combined his experience with the sea restaurant Baratie

and Thriller Bark,

and roughly arrived at the answer!

First,

the system’s judgment for valid check-in locations was clearly not limited to islands,

but it was heavily biased toward them!

The sea restaurant Baratie and Thriller Bark shared a common trait:

they were fixed!

They were basically permanently anchored at a certain location,

and in a sense,

they were already similar to small, man-made islands!

Therefore,

in the system’s judgment,

they were valid check-in locations,

and it gave out rewards based on their various unique characteristics!

However,

pirate ships like the Going Merry,

because they were constantly sailing across the sea,

were not considered fixed locations!

So, in the system’s judgment,

it was not a valid check-in location!

The above conclusion might still have some omissions,

but for now,

it should be pretty close to the system’s criteria!

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao shook his head with a hint of regret.

What a pity.

If ordinary pirate ships could also count as check-in locations,

Li Xiao would suddenly have a massive number of special locations!

The Whitebeard Pirates’ Moby Dick,

the Red Hair Pirates’ Red Force,

and the Perfume Snake owned by Hancock...

Especially the Whitebeard Pirates’ Moby Dick—

that was a pirate ship that represented an entire era!

If he could check in there,

the rewards would definitely be no worse than those from Loguetown or Windmill Village!

Even without looking that far,

just taking the Going Merry Li Xiao was standing on,

its uniqueness alone should have been enough to bring Li Xiao quite generous rewards!

Sigh~~

This lousy system,

it’s just not living up to expectations!

If you ask me,

every inch of land in the entire pirate world is unique,

so I should be able to check in every two steps!

Take the Going Merry as an example,

Take the Going Merry for example,

on the ordinary deck,

can it compare to the bow where Luffy often sits?

Can it compare to Sanji’s kitchen?

Can it compare to Nami’s little treasure room?

Clearly,

it cannot!

This tiny Going Merry

should be worth eight or ten check-ins!

Pfft!

Trash system!

Li Xiao’s last check-in was on the island where he met Wei En,

and since it was just an obscure little island,

he only received a meager, better-than-nothing reward!

And since then,

Li Xiao hadn't checked in once!

After all,

he couldn't check in on merchant ships,

and as for Jaya and the Sky Island,

Li Xiao had already checked in there over a month ago,

and couldn't check in again!

Thinking about it this way,

this lousy system is even trashier!

You can only check in at a location once!

Pfft!

Get out here, you hack author,

and change the system for me!

(Sorry, there were supposed to be three updates, but relatives came over unexpectedly and it’s too noisy. I barely managed to write one chapter in the kitchen, so there will only be two updates today QAQ~)
