Chapter 4: This is my bottom line!

After a long silence,

Nami seemed to have made a great determination,

and finally said:

"I can give you mental damage compensation, but you have to take me away!"

Seeing Li Xiao nod,

Nami let out a long sigh,

and reluctantly took something out from her chest...

Seeing this,

Li Xiao couldn't help but be shocked!

On one hand, he was surprised by the place where Nami hid things...

Hmm, this is very Nami!

On the other hand, he was surprised by the thing Nami took out!

It was a fruit with spiral patterns all over its skin,

which was clearly a Devil Fruit!

Devil Fruit,

known as the secret treasure of the sea,

as a major component of the pirate world's combat power system,

every Devil Fruit is a priceless treasure!

Even the most ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit,

has a market price of at least over 100 million Berries!

Li Xiao originally thought Nami had only stolen the treasure accumulated by the Shark Pirate Crew,

never expecting,

that this cat burglar had directly stolen a Devil Fruit!

Good fellow,

no wonder she was chased all the way by them!

Judging by the strength of this pirate crew,

this Devil Fruit was either obtained by chance,

or bought by exhausting all their savings over who knows how many years,

and it was most likely prepared for the burly captain of the Shark Pirate Crew himself!

As a result, it was stolen before he even had a chance to eat it,

so who wouldn't be anxious!

It's just a pity that the appearance of this Devil Fruit was not within the scope of Li Xiao's knowledge,

and there was no Devil Fruit encyclopedia to compare it with at the moment,

therefore, ===== CHAPTER 11 =====

Li Xiao didn't know what kind of fruit the Devil Fruit in his hand was.

Regarding Devil Fruits,

Li Xiao was still quite curious.

Even an ordinary person,

as long as they eat a Devil Fruit, can quickly form combat power,

and if it's a Logia-type or a rare Mythical Zoan-type,

one can even leap into the ranks of the strong by relying on the fruit's ability,

at least in most cases within the Four Blues, it's enough to run rampant!

It can be said to be the easiest one to achieve quick success among the several combat power systems in the pirate world!

But Li Xiao was only curious.

If there were no side effects,

he might consider it,

but normal Devil Fruits,

he completely looked down upon.

Carrying the Cultivation Check-in System,

in Li Xiao's eyes,

cultivating immortality and seeking longevity is his Great Dao!

After looking it over,

Li Xiao casually placed the Devil Fruit aside,

and then continued to eat.

Living in this world,

Nothing is worthier than cultivation and fine food!

The pirate world, if nothing else,

the texture of the beast meat is really good,

even without seasoning, it's incredibly fragrant!

By comparison,

Nami was currently dejected and listless,

sitting on the ground with her hands hugging her knees,

staring blankly at the Devil Fruit aside,

as if her soul had been taken away.

Regarding this,

Li Xiao didn't say much,

just silently ate.

A moment later,

after eating and drinking his fill,

Li Xiao got up, picked up the Devil Fruit, and walked toward the pirate ship.

Seeing this,

Nami hurriedly followed,

her gaze tightly following the Devil Fruit in Li Xiao's hand.

On the deck,

Li Xiao and Nami stood facing each other,

looking at each other,

staring with big eyes!

After a long silence,

Li Xiao finally said: "What are you staring for, go sail the ship!"

Hearing this,

Nami's eyes widened,

and she immediately retorted: "Why do I have to go sail the ship?"

"There are only the two of us on this ship, if you don't go, should I go?"

"But I already gave you the Devil Fruit!"

"That was just to let you get on the ship, it doesn't mean I have to sail the ship for you!"

"Besides, I don't know how to sail a ship."

"..."

In the end, Nami still ran to sail the ship, pouting.

A moment later,

the ship set sail.

Li Xiao found a lounge chair from the cabin and moved it to the deck,

lying down facing the sea breeze,

feeling the wet and salty taste in the sea breeze,

his mood was quite pleasant!

Finally left that isolated island where no one could be seen!

What will welcome him next will be the sea of stars!

Li Xiao couldn't even wait to perform the next check-in!

Transmigrated for a full month,

and only checked in once,

and it was such a shitty place,

it was truly stifling!

After the sailing was stable,

Nami returned to the deck,

and stood beside Li Xiao,

looking at him with a face full of resentment,

just like a wronged little wife.

"Yo, you're back, since you're free now, come, give me a shoulder massage, relax!"

Hearing this,

Nami instantly exploded,

and roared at Li Xiao:

"Don't go too far! Sailing the ship for you is already my bottom line!"

"I was just thinking about whether to return the Devil Fruit to you after getting off the ship, but looking at it now..."

Before the words fell, a pair of soft and slender hands had already landed on Li Xiao's shoulders.

"Bottom lines can also be flexible!" ===== CHAPTER 12 =====

One day later,

Li Xiao stood at the bow looking out,

and saw that not far ahead,

a piece of land was getting closer and closer.

After one day,

the two finally arrived at the destination of this trip,

which was Nami's hometown—Cocoyasi Village!

Li Xiao turned his head to look behind him, ===== CHAPTER 13 =====

and saw Nami hugging the Devil Fruit and giggling,

her face filled with visible happiness.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Cocoyasi Village,

Li Xiao finally returned the Devil Fruit to her.

On one hand, it was indeed thanks to her that he was able to leave the isolated island smoothly,

and arrive safely at Cocoyasi Village after a day of sailing.

On the other hand,

Li Xiao really had no thoughts about the Devil Fruit!

From the outside,

this Devil Fruit was not one of the powerful and special fruits in the original work,

it was most likely just an ordinary Zoan-type or Paramecia-type,

and he didn't have a suitable storage method at the moment,

so carrying this thing around was just a nuisance!

Therefore,

he simply returned it to Nami.

"Stop looking, we're docking soon, hurry up and steer!"

"Oh, I know!"

A moment later,

the ship docked,

and the two jumped off the ship one after another.

At this time,

Nami had returned to a state of having empty hands,

the Devil Fruit had disappeared,

presumably hidden back in the old place...

However,

Li Xiao had no heart to think about anything else at this moment,

and the moment he stepped onto Cocoyasi Village,

he immediately chose to check in!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful check-in!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward [Mountain and Sea Sword Art]"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward [Spirit Gathering Pill] *3"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward [Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda]"

Look at that!

Look at that!

This is what you call a check-in!

What kind of crap was given for checking in on that isolated island before!

Just rewarded a few Spirit Gathering Pills,

were they trying to send off a beggar?

It made Li Xiao even think for a moment that he had received a hell-difficulty script!

Until now,

he finally felt relieved,

it seems the script wasn't wrong,

it should undoubtedly be the easy difficulty!

Li Xiao came back to his senses,

and focused his attention on the rewards obtained.

First were the three Spirit Gathering Pills,

there's nothing much to say about this,

they were in both the rewards from Li Xiao's first check-in and the novice gift pack,

and after taking them, they can increase cultivation speed,

with each pill's effect lasting for three hours.

The rewards that really made Li Xiao care were the other two,

[Mountain and Sea Sword Art] and [Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda]!

The Mountain and Sea Sword Art belongs to divine abilities and spells,

and is an excellent sword technique,

with every move and style containing the power of mountains and seas,

open and close,

with unparalleled power,

suppressing everything!

For Li Xiao,

this sword technique came just at the right time!

Although Li Xiao currently has a cultivation base in the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi,

in reality, he just has the cultivation base but lacks a means of attack!

And the Mountain and Sea Sword Art is a sword technique with extremely strong offensive power,

aimed at head-on confrontation!

It can just make up for this shortcoming of Li Xiao,

and although it didn't increase his cultivation base,

it greatly increased his combat power!

Moreover,

the Mountain and Sea Sword Art is a reward obtained from checking in,

so Li Xiao doesn't need to comprehend it himself,

the system will help him master this sword technique instantly!

Besides this,

the other reward—the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda,

made Li Xiao even more pleasantly surprised!

This is actually a magic treasure,

and it's an excellent defensive magic treasure!

Although its specific power remains to be tested,

according to the information given by the system,

as long as the difference in strength is not too great,

unleashing the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda is enough to make oneself invincible!

Li Xiao's current positioning of his own strength is not very clear,

in this situation,

the value of an excellent defensive means is far higher than an offensive means!

In summary,

the Mountain and Sea Sword Art and the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda,

one offensive and one defensive,

greatly perfected Li Xiao's combat means,

and his strength increased by more than double!
