With the blessing of divine magic, Moonwalk's speed was several times faster than usual, and he arrived in the air in an instant, constantly reducing the distance between himself and the six-winged angel.

"Until we meet again!" The six-winged angel flapped its wings, unleashing a speed far exceeding that of Yi Shuihan, instantly creating distance and soaring into the sky. The walls above could not stop it for even a moment.

"You're still too green to fly." A smug voice rang out. The six-winged angel simply didn't believe that Yi Shuihan could catch up with him in the air. Although Yi Shuihan had demonstrated Moonwalk before, it was not true flight after all, so it couldn't last long and his speed was not as good as his.

Indeed, this was the case; if this continued for a long time, Yi Shuihan really wouldn't be able to do anything about him.

As the distance grew further and further, the six-winged angel completely lowered his guard and began to think about how to take revenge on Yi Shuihan in the future.

"Huh? Why is it dark?" The six-winged angel, before realizing what was happening, felt a sharp pain in his throat.

Yi Shuihan had appeared above him without him noticing, and a wooden sword pierced through the back of his head.

"Sorry, you're too slow." Yi Shuihan smiled. In fact, Yi Shuihan had used all her strength, flashing 10 times in a short moment, finally catching up with her opponent when she was careless, and successfully launching a sneak attack.

After the sword pierced the six-winged angel's head, Yi Shuihan was relieved, thinking that the matter should now be resolved. However...

"Hehehehehe, you dare to ruin my body? Then you'll pay with yours."

"Not good?" Just as Yi Shuihan had this thought, a white ball of light emerged from the six-winged angel and entered his body with lightning speed.

Possession? What to do? Yi Shuihan felt a little flustered. He didn't know how to deal with this mysterious thing.

"Ah! What is this? No..." This was followed by continuous screams.

"Ding, external energy source detected, absorbing successfully."

Chapter 45, Borrowing Money! 100 Billion

The system's voice startled Yi Shuihan, who then burst into laughter. What a dramatic turn of events!

"In front of the system, everything else is insignificant!" With the system, I will never have to worry about this situation again.

It was directly absorbed as energy, which startled me, but considering your selfless dedication, I'll reluctantly forgive you.

"There are people in the sky."

"Mom, come out and see Superman!"

"That direction is..."

Yi Shuihan's position was too obvious; he could be seen almost anywhere by looking up. Soon, everyone on the island noticed him in the air and started pointing and whispering.

Realizing his situation, Yi Shuihan slowly descended from the sky. Strangely, the six-winged angel in his hand turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air during this process, creating a unique and beautiful sight.

"Huh? How did we get here?"

"Where is this place? I remember coming out to buy soy sauce, and then..."

"Wasn't I arrested? Now I am."

Perhaps because of the destruction of the six-winged angel, when Yi Shuihan returned to the hall, the believers were all blank-minded, as if they had lost their memories.

Even the other five Bibles mysteriously disappeared.

Yi Shuihan seemed to understand something upon seeing this. This was fine too. He didn't want me to explain further, and besides, he didn't actually know the specifics either.

"Captain, what exactly happened on that island? Who were you fighting?"

"Nothing much? Just an evil church. I took care of their leader in a moment of peace."

A week had passed. After defeating the six-winged angel, Yi Shuihan stayed for a day to rest before setting sail again. As for the aftermath, he left it to the people on the island to handle.

I thought I would learn some secrets of the world through this, but in the end I didn't know anything, which felt a bit inexplicable.

Even now, Yi Shuihan is starting to doubt whether the six-winged angel he saw before was just a figment of his imagination, or perhaps someone who had used a strange Devil Fruit.

However, the system's progress bar reappearing and suddenly reaching 50 made Yi Shuihan clearly realize that he had indeed entered an incredible event, and was the protagonist at that.

The appearance of the angel made Yi Shuihan more wary of this world. Who knows if a demon or something might suddenly appear one day? Such an existence that violates the rules is simply cheating.

"Hopefully it was just a coincidence, otherwise..."

As images of mythical creatures appearing in this world and triggering a great war flashed through his mind, Yi Shuihan shuddered; the scene was simply too beautiful.

My strength still needs to be improved! I can no longer judge this world based on my past common sense. After all, this is the real world, anything can happen, and the plot can only be used as a reference.

The journey that followed was much calmer. We enjoyed the scenery along the way, and dealt with any unlucky pirates we encountered. Nothing that shouldn't have been in this world appeared again.

"Finally back? Naval Headquarters! After being away for so many days, returning here actually feels like coming home." Yi Shuihan exclaimed at the Naval Headquarters port, and the others also smiled.

The first thing to do upon returning was naturally to report on the mission at the Great Prison. After letting the others act freely, Yi Shuihan went to the Navy Marshal's office for the third time.

"...That's about it." Although he already knew that the situation had been reported to the prison, and that his group was completely transparent to the Navy Headquarters, Yi Shuihan still briefly explained the situation, just to make a show of it.

Sengoku listened quietly to Yi Shuihan's report, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration. He didn't blame Yi Shuihan for deliberately delaying on the way back. For a prodigy like Yi Shuihan, as long as he didn't do anything to betray the Navy, everything else was forgivable.

“You did a good job,” Sengoku nodded. “This is for you.”

Huh? Yi Shuihan was slightly taken aback when he saw the badge that represented a vice admiral in front of him. Although he had expected it, he did not expect it to come so quickly.

Upon receiving the badge, Yi Shuihan appeared extremely excited, which further solidified Zhan Guo's positive impression of her.

This child seems to really value the Navy. We must strengthen his sense of belonging to the Navy; with his talent, he can definitely become a pillar of the Navy.

But? As if he had thought of something, a strange light flashed across Sengoku's eyes.

Yi Shuihan was somewhat pleased to be promoted to lieutenant general, but after a brief moment of excitement, he became depressed. There was no substantial reward; he wished he could have more Devil Fruits or something!

It has already been upgraded once, and the energy required for the next upgrade will be even greater. A few Devil Fruits will not achieve the same effect as before, but every little bit helps, and we will eventually gather enough, right?

"By the way, the people I caught on the road should be able to be exchanged for money, right?" Yi Shuihan suddenly said.

"What?" Zhan Guo was bewildered by Yi Shuihan's sudden leap, and came over with a wry smile. "Of course you can. You can go and collect their bounty anytime."

"What? Are you short of money? If you need it, I can lend you some." The reason he said "lend" was that Sengoku himself didn't have much money. After all, the navy's money was used for specific purposes, and he wouldn't embezzle public funds. He was borrowing from his own private savings. He lived and worked in the navy and didn't need much money at all.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for," Yi Shuihan said, looking at Zhan Guo with innocent eyes. "Great! Can you lend me 100 billion?"

10 billion could buy about 100 ordinary Devil Fruits.

Zhan Guo's lips twitched, speechless as he looked at Yi Shuihan. He had originally thought that Yi Shuihan would only need a few million, tens of millions, or at most a hundred million. Who knew that the number Yi Shuihan revealed would be so astonishing. If it weren't for the fact that Yi Shuihan's eyes were too innocent at this moment, he would have been unable to resist giving Yi Shuihan a good beating.

But what if we don't give it to them? Zhan Guo pondered.

It has to be said that Yi Shuihan's value was extremely high in Sengoku's heart. Although he knew that even if he didn't give Yi Shuihan the gift, it wouldn't affect his opinion of the Navy, Sengoku didn't want to disappoint Yi Shuihan.

"What do you plan to do with the money?" Having made up his mind, Zhan Guo still wanted to ask Yi Shuihan what he intended to do with the money.

"They really gave it to me?" Yi Shuihan was taken aback.

Chapter 46, The Three-in-One Bronze Package

"I'm going to buy a Devil Fruit," Yi Shuihan said directly, and that was indeed the case.

"A Devil Fruit?" Sengoku looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise, remembering the agreement he had made with Yi Shuihan that he would give Yi Shuihan a Devil Fruit if Yi Shuihan trained a lieutenant general.

It's common knowledge that a person can only eat one Devil Fruit; having more is pointless. So why would Yi Shuihan need so many Devil Fruits?

However, compared to money, Devil Fruits seem to be a bit simpler.

"Any kind of fruit will do? If so, then 10 billion can be converted into 100 Devil Fruits for you," Sengoku said.

"Hmm," Yi Shuihan nodded. Ten Devil Fruits was not bad.

"Then it's settled," Sengoku said, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "Can you tell me what you need so many Devil Fruits for?"

So you asked it anyway! Yi Shuihan wasn't surprised that Zhan Guo asked this question; anyone else would have found it strange.

"I've been interested in Devil Fruits for a long time, which grant people various abilities. I want to study how Devil Fruit abilities come about, or how to grant people multiple abilities." Of course, this was nonsense, but Sengoku believed it because there was no other reason for it.

"You want to research a way to eat multiple fruits? That's not easy." Even so, Zhan Guo didn't think Yi Shuihan could do such a thing, but he didn't try to stop him, just taking it as Yi Shuihan's hobby.

After discussing his promotion to lieutenant general with Zhan Guo, Yi Shuihan left the office.

The pirates they captured along the way were quickly converted into money, not much, only 3 million. In the end, Yi Shuihan generously gave half to his subordinates as rewards and saved the other half. He didn't need it now, but it might come in handy later.

As for the 10 Devil Fruits, they were directly given to the system, causing the system's upgrade progress bar to go from 50 to 60.

"So, we're still short of 40 Devil Fruits' worth of energy." Thinking about the potential benefits of the second upgrade, Yi Shuihan even had the urge to rob the Navy of their Devil Fruit storage area.

In the end, Yi Shuihan gave up the idea of ​​robbing it, after all, that would make him seem too shameless, and most importantly, even if he did rob it, it wouldn't necessarily allow the system to upgrade a second time.

After Yi Shuihan took 10 Devil Fruits from the Marine Headquarters, there weren't many left. These treasures of the sea, Devil Fruits, are only about 20 in stock, even for the Marines. With Yi Shuihan taking 10, there are only about 10 left.

"If I take control of the Navy in the future, all these Devil Fruits will be mine. Moreover, I can have them collect Devil Fruits for me, which will be much faster than if I did it myself." With this in mind, Yi Shuihan continued his low-key training at headquarters.

Yi Shuihan considered himself to be low-key, but the news of his promotion to lieutenant general was already spreading like wildfire. Unlike major general, a lieutenant general's rank was second only to admiral, making him a high-ranking officer in the navy who could not be ignored.

Moreover, for some reason, the Warring States period exposed Yi Shuihan, the youngest lieutenant general in history, to the world and also confirmed the promotion ceremony for Yi Shuihan. As a result, Yi Shuihan's name once again resounded throughout the world.

"Yi Shuihan? The youngest lieutenant general in history? Only 13 years old, what kind of joke is that Zhan Guo guy making?"

"Interesting, is that the boy who killed Roger?"

"I wonder if it's all hype and no substance."

"Genius? Or idiot? Let's wait and see."

"..."

Yi Shuihan was aware of the ceremony that would promote him to lieutenant general, but he didn't take it seriously and was unaware of the uproar it would cause in the outside world.

At this very moment, in the room where Yi Shuihan was...

"The time has finally come. I wonder what the odds will be after accumulating three chances to win a prize." Yi Shuihan eagerly opened the system panel and skillfully entered the prize draw interface.

The upgraded system has a monthly lottery. Because the lottery draws can be accumulated, he refrained from drawing the first two times in order to increase his chances of obtaining skills. But just now, the third lottery draw opportunity finally came, and he finally couldn't resist anymore.

"The odds of winning the lottery are 100 for Black Iron, 50 for Bronze, 1 for Silver, and 00001 for Gold. What kind of pattern is this? I don't understand it at all!" Black Iron's odds have doubled from 50 to 100, Bronze's have quadrupled from 10 to 50, Silver's have increased 99 times from 001 to 1, while Gold remains completely unchanged.

Unable to figure it out, Yi Shuihan gave up on finding a pattern and considered whether to try drawing some first.

"How do we draw? Do we draw three times, according to the original winning probability, or the new winning probability of the three-in-one combination?" Yi Shuihan muttered, resting his chin on his hand.

As I said before, Iron rank wouldn't be of much help to him, Bronze rank would depend on luck, and even with a three-in-one combination, Yi Shuihan was hesitant to try Silver rank, as the one percent probability was simply too low.

One percent seems like you could win once in a hundred draws, but that's not the case at all. You might never win in your entire life. In fact, the odds of winning with the gold tier are not much different. In other words, even though the silver tier seems to have a 99-fold increase in the odds of winning, it's actually not as good as the iron and bronze tiers.

"Alright, let's just have a three-piece bronze set meal first." After making this decision, Yi Shuihan felt much more relaxed.

"Ding! The lottery has begun!"

As the system voice sounded, the interface in front of me began to change continuously, and finally 8 cards appeared.

He decisively chose the third card, praying in his heart that it wouldn't be empty, and stared eagerly at the interface.

The unselected card slowly disappeared, leaving only the selected one, which then flipped over in Yi Shuihan's longing gaze.

"There's a word, it's 'thank you'..." Having not won, seeing the word "thank you" made Yi Shuihan subconsciously imagine "thank you for the lottery" or "thank you for your patronage," and he immediately felt disappointed.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just split the smoke into smaller batches! Three months wasted like this, I was so stupid, really.

"Ding! Congratulations on your successful lottery draw. Please check your skills."

"Huh? The lottery was successful? What happened? Is the system malfunctioning? Is the system unreliable?" Yi Shuihan was confused by the system notification and thought that the system had made a mistake. However, when he saw the card again, his eyes lit up.

Instead of the "Thank you for your patronage" message he expected, the card read, "Thank you, please pay (Bronze Level 3)."

"I'll leave the name of this skill, thank you, please pay the bill???"

Chapter 47, Yi Shuihan, the Helpful One

"Indeed, the world is full of wonders. Such bizarre skills also exist. It's really..." At this moment, Yi Shuihan's expression was extremely strange, a mixture of excitement, surprise, fear, agitation, and a little bit of eagerness to try.

With the system's help, he finally realized that he had indeed drawn a skill in the three-in-one lottery, but he mistakenly thought he hadn't drawn it because of the first two characters of the skill's name.

Skill Name: Thank you, please pay (Perfect):

Rank: Bronze, Class 3

Description: This skill is a causal skill. The activation condition is that the other party sincerely says thank you to the initiator, and the initiator says the words "please pay the bill". If the skill is successfully activated, the initiator can designate one skill of any one of the other party's skills. The acquired skill will be at the level of the other party's mastery level. After acquiring the skill, the other party's skill mastery level will be reduced to beginner level (only effective against Iron and Bronze level experts; Silver level and above experts have a high chance of resisting).

"

The name wasn't great, but its effects truly shocked Yi Shuihan. The causal law skill described in the introduction made Yi Shuihan feel it was incredibly sophisticated.

With this skill, wouldn't I be able to use anyone's skill whenever I want, essentially having someone else help me train?

Besides the common uses, you can also teach the skills you want to learn to others so they can practice. Once they've reached a certain level, you can then reap the rewards. Think of how many practice points you can save!

Once I find a few hundred geniuses to train in skills, I can become a skill master in no time.

When fighting an enemy, make them say "thank you" and then activate their skill. You'll turn their special move into a beginner level, while you'll be at their level. Their bewildered expression will be quite a sight!

Of course, it's quite rare for an enemy to genuinely thank you during battle, but it's not impossible. For example, if you capture their family member and promise to release them during the fight, well, that's a bit wicked.

Yi Shuihan was lost in endless daydreams, eager to put his ideas into practice immediately.
