Chapter 2

This must be the random item that appears every week as mentioned in the regulations, right?

It’s actually more reliable than I expected, almost too serious to be a love cell cultivation system, but the points required for most items are so high that it’s a bit scary…

A Phantom Apparition skill scroll? Does it refer to the magic from the HP world, or a modified low-end version?

Regardless, if it can really be exchanged, it would be a god-like skill for traveling across the sea!

As for the Wind Barrier, the name sounds familiar, and it seems to be a powerful skill as well.

However, the prerequisite for advanced swordsmanship is far from what Noshia can achieve now, so he can only put it aside for now, no matter how much he covets it.

"Only 1,500 points were given."

After finishing his soup, Noshia took large bites of the roasted meat and continued to silently scan the shop interface, "It seems that with this week’s random items, I can only exchange for these two at most…"

The Intermediate Paper Art Skill Scroll and the Physical Training Acceleration Card (7 days).

These two are exactly what Noshia needs right now. After purchasing them, he would still have some points left, but he didn’t rush to exchange them immediately. Instead, he flipped through the items available in the permanent shop.

[Basic Strength Points: 2,000 points per point at the current stage]

[Basic Agility Points: 2,000 points per point at the current stage]

[Basic Endurance Points: 2,000 points per point at the current stage]

[Basic Intelligence Points: 20,000 points per point at the current stage]

[Basic Charisma Points: 50,000 points per point at the current stage]

[Character Detector: 500 points per point, limited to 2 purchases per day]

...

"Most of them only require 2,000 points."

Noshia began to hesitate.

The increase in strength from upgrading basic attributes is definitely significant. Should he use the points he has to buy those two items, or save up more points to exchange for attribute points…

Moreover, intelligence and charisma are ridiculously expensive.

Perhaps the quantification rules are different? Noshia thought about his current charisma, which is already close to irresistible among the women in the training camp, and he understood.

The gap between each point of these attributes is so large. If he were to specialize in charisma and add a few more points, his charm when smiling might rival that of the future Empress Hancock.

While he was pondering, a commotion suddenly came from the restaurant entrance.

"Hmm?"

Noshia temporarily moved his gaze from the system interface and looked in the direction of the sound. He noticed a familiar figure had appeared at the door.

The naval soldiers at the tables near the entrance had all left their seats and gathered around excitedly.

"Commodore Garp!"

"Commodore! You’re finally back!"

"It’s half a month later than expected. How did the mission go this time?"

The person surrounded was none other than the naval hero, current Commodore Garp.

The old man looked wind-battered and disheveled, with messy hair, as if he had just come off a warship.

But seeing the young, enthusiastic faces, he couldn’t hide his fatigue and burst into a wide, happy grin:

"Ha ha ha, brats, it’s been a while!"

"Of course the mission went smoothly. With me personally on the job, how could any pirate escape?"

While answering, Garp tried to push his way into the restaurant, but the soldiers were so enthusiastic that it was like a fan meeting. He couldn’t move a step and grumbled in dissatisfaction:

"Hey, why are you blocking me? Move, move, you’re all full, but I’m about to starve to death. I need to eat!"

This comment caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding area. The young naval soldiers exchanged glances and moved aside, making way for the hungry old man to reach the restaurant window.

"Ha, that’s better."

Garp laughed and strode through the crowd toward the window.

"Mr. Garp…"

Noshia didn’t join the crowd blocking the way. Looking at Garp’s figure, he suddenly remembered the character detector mentioned by the system.

From the description, it seemed to be able to detect other people’s attributes and display them as a data panel—was it only usable on the opposite sex, or anyone?

Noshia had been curious about how strong a peak figure like Garp was for a long time. It was already evening, and the day was almost over, so he might as well use the free daily detection…

Without hesitation, he used the detector on Garp.

[Character: Monkey D. Garp]

[Age: 57]

[Strength: ???]

[Agility: ???]

[Endurance: ???]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charisma: 8]

[Skills: Armament Haki (Master), Observation Haki (Advanced), Six Powers (Master), Hand-to-Hand Combat (Master)…]

[Estimated Success Points Reward: Ambiguous Relationship / 80,000 points, Romantic Relationship / 400,000 points]

[Note: Although I don’t know what kind of lunatic you are to detect a lonely old man who picks his nose every day, there’s no doubt that successfully courting this great naval hero will earn you an extremely impressive points reward]

"…"

After a long silence, Noshia closed the page with a blank expression.

Just show the data, you damn system!

Is there something wrong with the system’s brain? He was just curious and wanted to detect, but the system thought he wanted to court Garp. He’s straight, for goodness’ sake!

However, he did see the data panel he wanted, though there were many unknowns. Noshia guessed that the significant difference in strength between him and Garp was the reason for the incomplete display of physical attributes.

It’s like in online games, when you first leave the newbie village and enter the main city, the NPC bosses’ levels are always a string of question marks.

Truly, Garp is a peak figure in this world… Noshia marveled inwardly. He didn’t think the detector was a waste, but he was thinking about what level of strength he needed to see Garp’s full attributes.

And whether he could reach that level of strength in the future.

Speaking of which, although the detector likes to add smart remarks, its function and scope are clearly broader than he expected, and Noshia was quite satisfied with it.

"Huh?"

At this moment, as Garp passed through the aisle, he suddenly noticed Noshia in the corner. He seemed to remember something, patted his head, and pulled out a letter from his pocket, walking over quickly.

"Mr. Garp!"

Roronoa Zoro and Xilu stopped eating and stood up to salute. Noshia did the same, but when he saw the letter in Garp’s hand, he was slightly taken aback and had a guess.

"Hey, Noshia!"

Garp came straight to the table and handed the letter to Noshia, "I was resting at the 16th branch when your family asked me to bring this to you. I’m glad I remembered, or I might have forgotten. Old age really does affect the memory."

"That’s not true."

Noshia carefully put the letter in his pocket and bowed deeply to Garp, "Thank you, Mr. Garp."

Apart from his admiration for Garp’s achievements and character, this old man had a significant impact on his life. If not for Garp’s recommendation, it would have been much harder for him to enter the elite training camp, and he might still be in the East Blue.

"It’s nothing."

Garp waved his hand
