"Everyone, do you have any thoughts on the announcement issued by the Game Merchant?"
At Navy Headquarters,
Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat at the head of the table, surveying the conference room with a serious expression, and said, "Are there any differences between pet eggs and the contracted battle pets of Hunters and Summoners?"
These two items easily lead to a connection.
Tsuru, the head of the department responsible for game intelligence, nodded slightly and said, "One could say that pet eggs and contracted battle pets are completely different things."
"Contracted battle pets and summoned beasts are both skills of the player themselves, allowing them to contract or summon a monster to fight."
"As for pet eggs, based on our analysis of the pet slot information, they are more like a type of living equipment!"
Living equipment?
Sengoku listened with some confusion, and the high-ranking Navy Admirals present also cast puzzled glances.
Tsuru nodded and said, "Game pets have a strong correlation with the player's own attributes."
"With each level up, pets gain 10 potential points, which can be allocated to their four-dimensional attributes. The stronger a game pet's four-dimensional attributes are, the more they can amplify the player's own attributes, at a ratio of ten to one."
Sengoku and the others suddenly understood.
So this is what [living equipment] means?
Then came the shock.
If that were the case, a game pet that could continuously level up would provide dozens of points to a player's four-dimensional attributes.
Furthermore, it was said that game pets could also unleash [Master-Pet Fusion Skills] and possessed high-level skills themselves.
The power gap between a player without a pet and a player with a pet would be infinitely widened.
Considering the overall stats,
the importance of game pets far exceeded the difference a single piece of equipment could make.
"And it's not just that…"
Tsuru sighed, saying somewhat helplessly, "The potential points gained by game pets with each level up are related to [comprehension]. Game pets with higher comprehension can even gain 20 or even 30 potential points per level."
Sengoku immediately took a sharp intake of breath.
Could the enhancement effect of a game pet on a player almost rival that of an armor set?
"Therefore, hatching game pets is an inevitable trend in the future."
Smoker nodded slightly and said, "It's just like when the Reincarnation Game first started; everyone followed their usual habits, pursuing powerful skills and neglecting the importance of equipment. As a result, players who were among the first to 'eat the crab' with equipment sets repeatedly defeated them."
In Pirate World, skill-based systems like Devil Fruit and the three types of Haki were mainstream.
Even swordsmen diligently cultivated Haki and slashes; while a Supreme Grade Meito was powerful, to be honest, it didn't greatly assist the strongest individuals.
Therefore,
everyone overlooked the enhancement capabilities of equipment, only focusing on strengthening skills.
As a result, many Pirate World players with basic and scattered equipment often faced one-sided battles when encountering Ninja World players.
They later had to pay a great price to make up for this gap.
There was no other way.
This was the limitation of their world. If it were Teigu World, Teigu Users like Este's would easily understand the importance of equipment.
For them,
equipment was essentially like Teigu, also a manifestation of extraordinary power.
"If possible, let's give Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, Smoker, the four Navy Admirals, and the Navy Iron Fist Hero, one high-comprehension [Zombie Baby] each. Do any of you have objections?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku also understood that
now was not the time to save money. Every time the game updated or issued a new game announcement, players had to strive to keep up.
They absolutely could not fall behind, otherwise, they would have to pay a greater price to make up for it later.
"Seconded."
"Agreed."
The high-ranking Navy officials in the discussion, including Vice Admiral Jonathan, who had already agreed to allegiance, mostly held supporting opinions.
The current Navy Alliance,
without the vast assets plundered from the world by the World Government, relied on the funds of the various branch fortress commanders present.
These fortresses were spread throughout the four seas, like powerful regional governors, controlling local financial power, and all were encompassed within the Navy Alliance's scope.
Therefore, Sengoku could not dictate as he had before.
He had to seek the opinions of the commanders.
"The core strength of the Navy is the strongest among all forces in the entire Reincarnation Game; what we lack is top-tier combat power."
Jonathan was very quick-witted and skilled in strategy.
The Navy's rapid growth after separating from the World Government was inseparable from his strategizing. He suggested, "Not only should we give each of the five Navy members a pet, but the subsequent reward points for hatching and training them should also come from the Navy Alliance's treasury."
"However, a contract must be signed. Once these five individuals betray the Navy or lose their combat capability, these pets will be repossessed by the Navy Alliance and redistributed to those in need."
In other words,
these five game pets would only grant the Admirals usage rights, not ownership or the right to sell. Everything would belong to the Navy Alliance.
This way,
the Navy Alliance could spare no effort in strengthening the pets to form combat power as quickly as possible.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku did not object. He looked at Akainu and the others; this proposal was not excessive and was very suitable for the current Navy.
Akainu and the others all shook their heads, indicating no objections.
"Good, in that case, the council passes it. Now let's discuss [Game Villages]…"
"Wait, Sengoku, don't think things are too simple!"
Sengoku's words were interrupted by Tsuru. As the head of the intelligence department, she had thoroughly researched the detailed information on the pet slot.
Tsuru said, "High-comprehension game pets cannot be purchased directly."
"After two hundred pet fragments are fused into a pet egg and hatched, the quality of the [Zombie Baby] can then be observed."
"From F-grade quality all the way to SSR-grade quality, the higher the quality of the Zombie Baby, the stronger its comprehension."
"Everything is completely random."
"Furthermore, even if a high-quality Zombie Baby is hatched, it still requires countless reward points for feeding until the Zombie Baby reaches its [Mature Stage], after which it will transform to acquire various attributes."
"Again, completely random."
At this point, Tsuru did not continue. Seeing the expressions of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Commander Jonathan, they had presumably understood.
Sengoku's expression was very grim. He asked uncertainly, "So, to get a high-quality Zombie Baby with suitable attributes, we would need to screen at least dozens of pet eggs?"
"Dozens?"
Jonathan gave a wry smile. His mind was very agile,
and he quickly concluded that dozens of pet eggs were probably just the appetizer…
One pet egg costs 500,000 reward points. To get a high-grade baby by buying pet fragments, it would probably be impossible even if the Navy Alliance were sold off.
This was the disadvantage of not having played pay-to-win online games.
Who would try to get a high-grade pet without spending hundreds or thousands of pet eggs?
Even so, Fang Yi had already been very restrained, only introducing two random attributes: [Quality] and [Attributes].
If he were to be like those online games with ugly monetization practices, introducing messy random attributes like [Personality], [Talent], and [Specialty],
players would truly have to sell everything they owned.
Fang Yi was well aware of the principle of 'too much is as bad as too little'; chives should be cut in batches. Cutting them too deeply could kill the chive seedlings.
