Chapter 246 Treatment and Evolution
"Boss Tatsuya, is it really necessary to go to this extent?" Shark Chili asked timidly.
"Yes, Ye Yan, come and give a hand, and Altria and Meng Meng can also help!"
"But..." Shark Chili looked at his four companions who were controlling his limbs respectively, and he felt more and more unsure.
"There's nothing to worry about. You are Shark Chili who is determined to become an excellent mature man. How can you back down so easily?" Zhang Da also hugged Shark Chili's thigh and shouted, "Tom, Brooke, let's start!"
At this time, Ye Yan hugged Shark Chili's other thigh. The action was much more professional than Zhang Da's. He was worthy of being the shameless Brother Yan, without any idol baggage at all.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng each controlled one of Shark Chili's hands, and the four of them worked together to make him unable to move.
At Zhang Daye's command, Brooke's hands moved flexibly, and the sound of piano immediately rang out, accompanied by Tom's violin accompaniment.
They didn't bully Chili Shark, they just wanted to help him cure his psychological problem of being afraid of listening to people singing, and the song they used was Binx's Wine.
This is the only song that Shark Pepper has listened to in its entirety, and it can only be the Rumba Pirates' deathbed ensemble version.
Last time on the Terror Bark, Shark Chili thought he was well again.
But yesterday, Brooke was in a good mood and asked Tom to play with her. When the mood was right, Brooke sang a few lines, which the others thought sounded good. However, Chili Shark, who was checking the route, was so scared that he jumped into the sea on the spot.
Zhang Daye and Tom worked for half an hour before they finally fished him out with the net bag Tom usually used for fishing.
Realizing that he still had a trauma in his heart, Shark Chili finally made up his mind today to get some treatment. However, just like yesterday, he jumped into the sea when he heard the singing.
After trying to rescue him five or six times in the morning, Zhang Da finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to ask everyone to hold him down. He didn't want to cure him all at once, but at least make him listen to three or five sentences obediently today.
The prelude ended quickly, and Brooke began to sing: "Yo-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho..."
Chili Shark looked nervous and wanted to run away at any time, but maybe because he had heard Brook's "Yo-ho-ho-ho" laugh too much, this sentence did not cause too much adverse reaction.
Brooke continued singing: "Binx offers us a drink, against the wind and rain and the huge waves..."
"Ah, don't sing! I hate singing! Let me go!" Shark Chili began to struggle violently.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng grabbed his arms with one hand and pressed on Shark Chili's arm and shoulder joints with the other hand to prevent him from exerting force.
Zhang Daye and Ye Yan held Shark Chili's legs tightly, and the four of them worked together to carry forward the spirit of holding back.
But Shark Chili's strength was no joke. Since he couldn't break free, he simply dragged the four people out.
Brooke sang the third line: "Under the clear sky, my favorite flag is flying..."
Shark Chili struggled even more violently, and the foursome that were dragging them down gritted their teeth, trying to control it a little longer.
Snap!
After all, the wooden floor couldn't withstand this level of force and a hole was directly opened in the floor. Everyone fell into a pile. Shark Chili took this opportunity to break free and escape from the cabin.
The singing and the accompaniment suddenly stopped, and everyone got up from the ground and looked at each other.
Rui Mengmeng said reluctantly: "Boss, I suddenly feel like we are doing something bad. Isn't this too cruel to Shark Chili?"
Ye Yan said: "It's not easy to make up for one's weaknesses. For a mental illness as serious as his, it takes some pain to cure it."
"The method was a bit rough, but he was able to listen to the whole sentence. Hmm..." Zhang Da also hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me apologize to Shark Chili and then ask for his opinion. Otherwise, we can think of a gentler method."
"Let's do our best." Artoria said, "If we can successfully help him get through this, his willpower will become stronger, which is a very beneficial thing."
Zhang Da also nodded and shouted, "Tom, let's go and get him back."
Tom took off his tuxedo in a second, picked up the small net bag, and followed Zhang Da to catch shark peppers. To be honest, Tom found a little bit of fun in this activity, and he became more and more excited.
Tom still remembers the first time he scooped up Shark Chili, his expression was so funny as he curled up in the small net bag. Unfortunately, after being scooped up so many times, Shark Chili gradually got used to it.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone." After returning to the boat, Shark Chili first apologized to others, then took out tools to repair the floor that was damaged because of him.
"Don't say that. I'm forcing you too much." Zhang Da also told him everyone's thoughts, and then asked, "Shark Chili, do you want to continue this treatment?"
Everyone gave him encouraging looks, and Perona waved her fist cutely: "Fight!"
Shark Chili lived up to everyone's expectations and said firmly: "Of course, I want to be a strong and outstanding man, how can I be defeated by a mere singing voice!"
"Okay!" Zhang Da also patted him on the back, "You have guts, let's continue!"
"No!" Shark Chili's face changed immediately, "At least let me rest for a while, just try it once or twice a day..."
So the treatment plan for Shark Chili was decided. Zhang Da also watched Tom helping Shark Chili repair the floor, and thought that he would have to think of a way next time, otherwise if it happened twice a day, this small bar would no longer be able to be used.
After making sure that no help was needed here, Zhang Da also went to the martial arts hall to train, thinking that he might as well choose this place as the location next time. After all, it was a place reserved for them to exercise and simple battles, and it was much more sturdy than other cabins.
After sweating a lot and filling up the magic circle with energy, Zhang Da also started his daily lottery.
Seeing that the energy bar has been consumed by 80%, it seems that there will be no big surprises today.
But when you see clearly what you got, it's a little surprise.
It was a pitch-black long sword from the super-god world, with an unknown name. The introduction only said that it was a dark alloy weapon exclusive to the Noxing Knife, extremely hard and indestructible.
Zhang Da didn't dwell on whether the "indestructible" was an exaggeration or not. He just remembered that in the animation, Rui Mengmeng took the sword, jumped up and stabbed a large demon in the back of the head. It was quite powerful, but the impact feeling in that episode of the animation was quite poor.
He took out the sword and looked at it. The shape was not very handsome. He tried to swing it a few times and felt that it was very heavy, heavier than his street lamp and golden folding stool. He didn't know what the dark alloy came from.
It was difficult to find anything to test the sword on the boat, so Zhang Da had to take out a small dumbbell, stand it up, and chop it in the middle with his sword to try it out.
Smack! The poor little dumbbell was split in half.
Zhang Da also swore that he did not use any magic power, did not master the skills of cutting iron on the spot, and his strength was not that great. In other words, simply describing this sword as being able to cut through iron like mud was an underestimation of it.
Zhang Da decided to give such a powerful sword to Rui Mengmeng. As it is a special weapon, maybe there will be some wonderful reactions.
…
"Ah? Is it for me?" Rui Mengmeng took the black sword with surprise and looked at the pattern on it carefully. "What a cool sword! Does it have a name?"
This girl’s aesthetic taste is probably slightly different from Zhang Da’s, or maybe she fell in love with her exclusive weapon at first sight.
"It doesn't have a name. It's said to be the exclusive weapon of the Nox Blade." Zhang Da also said, "You can give it a name, such as the Exile Blade, the Storm Sword, the Infinity Blade..."
"Let's call it Exile Blade! I like it!" Rui Mengmeng has a special liking for this name.
"It doesn't matter. Let's try and see if there's anything special."
"Okay." Rui Mengmeng raised the sword and her eyes became sharp.
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't come towards the mast!" Zhang Da also stopped her from destroying the house before she could do anything. Her aura just now was a bit scary, and the power of this thing was still unclear. It would be very dangerous even if it was some distance away from the mast.
"The sea surface, push hard against the sea surface."
"Oh, okay." Rui Mengmeng scratched her head embarrassedly, as if the female war god that Zhang Da just felt was not her.
Rui Mengmeng readjusted her state and swung her sword vigorously at the sea: "Hah!"
A white translucent ripple spread out in the air, and then the sea surface exploded with a loud bang.
It was as if someone had detonated a bomb in the sea, and a tall column of water splashed across the screen. If you had to describe the size, it was much taller than the water columns that exploded when Prince Moang subdued the little crocodile in the Black Water River.
The entire Amber shook violently, and Perona's hot cocoa and Brook's black tea spilled all over the floor in the cabin. Only Altria reacted quickly enough to protect her teapot and the snacks in front of her.
Shark Chili rushed over: "What happened? An earthquake or an undersea volcanic eruption?"
Others also ran over in a panic to check the situation, and then they were greeted by a large amount of sea water falling from the sky and a pile of messy seafood.
"Isn't this power exaggerated?" Zhang Da was almost drooling with envy. With this skill, frying fish would be so convenient.
"To put it simply, Mengmeng just tested the new weapon and failed to control its power well." Zhang Da also explained, then looked at Rui Mengmeng, "How do you feel?"
"It's great, I feel this sword is just like my arm, it can release all the strength in my body at once..." Rui Mengmeng said, her face suddenly turned pale, and she fell to the deck with a thud.
"Meng Meng!"
"What's wrong with you?" Everyone rushed to help her.
"Gurgle~" Rui Mengmeng's pale face showed a little blush, "I'm fine, I just think I overexerted myself, and now I'm so hungry."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Altria handed her snack to Rui Mengmeng: "Eat some of this first. Why don't you see Tom?"
Shark Chili said, "After repairing the floor just now, Tom went to the stern to fish. With such a big commotion, he should come over."
"Could it be that they caught something strange and took it away again?" Zhang Da also hurried to the stern of the boat.
Tom saw a red object on his head. He pulled it with his hands and kicked it with his feet, but he couldn't take it off no matter what. It seemed that he was entangled by an octopus.
Tom got furious and stepped back to gather strength, then started to run. It seemed that he wanted to hit the mast with his head so that he and the octopus above his head would suffer mutual injuries.
Zhang Da also quickly hugged Tom. It was not worth it to torture himself for an octopus. "What's going on?"
Tom gestured with a look of grievance as he explained the reason. It turned out that he was fishing quietly at the stern of the boat when he was startled by a loud bang. When he was about to go to see what was going on, a ball of sea water wrapped in an octopus fell on his head and he couldn't get rid of it.
Zhang Da also understood. It turned out that it was Rui Mengmeng's fault. No, it was he who asked Rui Mengmeng to push hard against the sea. But if he hadn't asked her to change direction, the ship might have been lost.
No matter whose fault it was, Tom was the one who got hurt in the end. Zhang Da shamelessly took out a knife and said, "Here, I'll cut off the legs of this octopus and see if he can get off. We can also try making takoyaki."
Tom looked at the strange octopus above his head and nodded quickly, but the octopus shook its head wildly in a very human way.
Zhang Da also raised his knife: "Stay still and don't move."
However, before he could cut it, the little octopus jumped up in fright, staggered all the way back to the sea.
Tom touched his head happily, but also a little disappointed, because takoyaki was delicious.
"It's okay if it runs away. It's a bit hard to eat such a spiritual creature." Zhang Da also said, "Let's go and cook."
Two hours later, Tom was slumped over his chair with his tongue hanging out, looking exhausted.
Everyone else looked at Rui Mengmeng as if she were a monster. They knew she could eat before, but today's behavior was really too much.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I ate too much." Rui Mengmeng apologized hurriedly, "Teacher Tom, thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay if you eat too much, we can still afford it. But this time you've used up two-thirds of the food in the storage room... We've only been sailing for three days, and a month's worth of food is almost gone. Based on your appetite, you'll need to resupply once a day."
The inconvenience of supply is the problem that Zhang Da is worried about. The expenses in the Seven Water City are basically paid by the World Government and Diamante. He still has more than 300 million Baileys saved in Shampoo, plus the gold seized in Moria.
But no matter how rich you are, you can't buy anything in the sea, right? If they keep eating like this, they will have to hunt at least one large sea beast every day.
“No, no!” Rui Mengmeng waved her hands quickly. “I can feel that this time, it’s like, well, evolution. It felt like every cell in my body was starving. I don’t need to eat so much normally. At most, I need to replenish myself after an intense battle.”
"So it's still because of the sword?"
Zhang Da also thought of the black armor of Rui Mengmeng that he had not yet collected in his inventory. Could it also help her become stronger? After collecting it, he couldn't be so careless. At least he had to consider giving it to her when he was on the island or killed a sea king.
Rui Mengmeng shook her head: "I don't know either. I feel that the sword is more like a key. The key is to exercise more often."
Exercising more consumes more energy, but in the end you still have to eat more. Zhang Da has gotten used to it. "So, how many times can you use that move just now with your energy?"
