LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 53: 053 Task, Farming Faith Value
"Yakushi Kabuto, I need you to organize the mining of ore. Some will be used to make weapons, and the rest should be sold."
"From now on, you are the finance minister of the kingdom. Make sure the treasury is filled as soon as possible."
If he wants the country to achieve success, funds are indispensable.
"Yes."
Yakushi Kabuto bowed and left to carry out his tasks.
Once he was gone, Lynch instructed, "Announce that I will be going to destroy Sin Paradise this afternoon. Anyone brave enough can come and watch."
To increase his faith value rapidly, Lynch needed to strengthen his influence over the people.
Letting them witness his power firsthand was the best way to do that.
In the afternoon, Lynch walked out of the palace, followed silently by the citizens.
As he advanced, more and more residents followed him.
By the time they reached the town where Sin Paradise was located, thousands of citizens were gathered behind Lynch.
"Is this where the criminal gather?"
Lynch asked as he looked at the smoky land in front of him and slowly raised his hand.
A thunderball formed in Lynch's palm, growing larger and larger until it obscured the sky and sun.
"Go!"
When it reached the right size, Lynch hurled the thunderball high into the center of the town.
"Boom!"
Thunder and lightning danced wildly, and a mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
The deafening sound of the explosion spread to everyone's ears. They covered their ears in pain and looked in the direction of the town in surprise.
"One blow and the entire town was wiped out. The king is truly a god," the people marveled.
"The criminals in Sin Paradise are just gone?"
It felt unreal to them.
The criminals who had oppressed them for years vanished without a trace.
The residents' hatred for the criminals quickly turned into gratitude for Lynch.
After the smoke cleared, the town was completely gone—nothing remained but a deep pit.
Chen was silent for a moment, and the scene suddenly erupted into overwhelming cheers.
"Long live the King!"
"Long live the King!"
"Don't worry, everyone, with me here, this country will be safer than anywhere else in the world."
Listening to the sound of increasing faith in his ears, Lynch returned to the palace.
[Ding! The system issues new tasks.]
Upon his return to the room, a long-awaited mission appeared on the system.
[Life choice one: Have three Devil Fruit users in the kingdom. Reward: One opportunity to upgrade the World Transfer Scroll.]
[Life choice two: Expand the army to 10,000 soldiers and equip them all with weapons. Reward: A random Devil Fruit.]
[Life choice three: Of course the king must have his own concubine and conduct a national concubine selection ceremony. Reward: Viagra Pill.]
Faced with the three options, Lynch chose the first one without hesitation.
To use the World Transfer Scroll for teleportation, he needs to have someone bring half of the scroll to the destination while he uses the other half to complete the teleportation.
If there are three copies of the scroll, he can keep one in each location and use the third scroll to travel between the two places.
He did the math and noted that there are currently two Devil Fruit users in the kingdom: himself and Robin.
In other words, as long as there is a new Devil Fruit user present, he can use the scrolls.
He happened to have a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Horse Horse Fruit, Model: Bigfoot Horse, which was originally stolen from Mariejois, the Holy Land.
After considering this, Lynch decided not to call Yakushi Kabuto.
He felt that giving Yakushi Kabuto such a worthless fruit would be a waste of his talent.
Instead, Lynch handed the Devil Fruit to Robin and asked her to find someone who deserved it and would use it well.
Lynch considered ordinary Zoan Devil Fruits to be worthless, but people from the West Blue saw them as valuable treasures and would be very grateful to receive them.
"That was quick?"
In the afternoon, the system sent a message confirming that the task was complete.
The World Transfer Scroll has been upgraded from two halves to three halves.
After waiting three more days, news of the destruction of the Sin paradise Town spread throughout the kingdom.
The faith value increased to just over 20,000 points, enough to draw the Naruto lottery pool twenty times!
"System, use the entire point to draw Naruto lottery pool!"
If he doesn't want to spend money, he's a cheapskate. Lynch decided to draw from the lottery regardless.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: an AK47 Production line.]
Lynch was shocked to see that the first prize was an AK47.
"What? Are there AK47s in the Naruto world?"
If he think about it carefully, firearms do exist in the Naruto world, and they appeared in the plot of Kakashi's fight against Zabuza.
Thinking about it later, even the Star Destroyer Cannon was invented in Naruto, so it's not surprising that there is an AK47.
But putting an AK47 in the pirate world would make it a dominant force!
Lynch was excited.
Just imagine: while others are still loading bullets into their flintlock guns, you've already fired a round.
How to play this?
Whether it is power or range, the AK47 is not comparable to the flintlock gun.
Lynch first found an empty factory building and set up a 200-meter-long AK47 production line there. He then stationed troops to guard it closely.
He instructed Robin to find the materials and start production.
Still concerned, he decided to recruit Yakushi Kabuto, who was busy with mining, as a bodyguard.
This was his treasure, and he couldn't afford to let it be destroyed.
"Alas, I still don't have enough manpower."
When there are not many people, they might not make it.
There were only two people available, Robin and Yakushi Kabuto, who were exhausted and couldn't handle the kingdom's important tasks.
After organizing everything, he went back to check the other lottery contents.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: Military Ration Pills ×10.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: Ichiraku Ramen.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: a ton of sand gold.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: dog food.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: Young Nara Shikamaru.]
"Um?"
Seeing this, Lynch stopped.
Shikamaru is a valuable asset. As the intellectual leader in Naruto, he's the kind of talent Lynch needs.
"Summon Shikamaru."
A flash of golden light appeared, and young Shikamaru materialized on the spot.
"Greetings, my lord."
Shikamaru knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.
"Please stand up; there's no need for such formality," Lynch said, helping Shikamaru up.
"Get familiar with this world first, and I'll arrange a job for you tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
Shikamaru went to explore the kingdom library.
The lottery continued.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning: Tsunade's bra.]
"Pfft~"
Seeing this, Lynch couldn't bear it anymore and almost spit out a mouthful of Coke.
This is truly the Naruto world, where anything can be extracted.
Tsunade, who was longing for her, didn't come out, and the blouse came out first.
But... Tsunade doesn't usually wear something like this.
He took out the blouse and was hit with a sudden... fragrance.
Lynch quickly put it back.
If people found out, his image as a king would be ruined.
