I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

After arriving in the South China Sea, the map in the manual was also switched to a new map, but Xie Wen could switch the map back to the Grand Route and the settled East and West Seas according to the switching icon that appeared after arriving in the East China Sea.

"Brother Xie Wen, do you need Keli's help?"

The little puppet jumped up on Xie Wen's back, pulled his ears and asked.

"Oh, no need, have you forgotten? We have already traded with Lieutenant General Garp for maps of the South China Sea and the North Sea." Xie Wen opened the manual and showed Kelimiao the South China Sea, which has most of the "pre-rendering" turned on. map.

"Ah woo..." Kelimiao suddenly lay on Xie Wen's shoulder with some disappointment, but soon she regained her energy and stretched her little head to look at the map in Xie Wen's hand, "The South China Sea has the same explosive island as before. Where is it? Let’s go there first, okay?”

I asked why this little guy is so positive...

Xie Wen glanced at Keli Miao speechlessly, then tilted his head and rubbed his cheek against her, "Unfortunately, it's not written so clearly on the map."

"Ah wu..." Then the little puppet lay back down again.

Ignoring the little cutie doing push-ups on his shoulders, Xie Wen called Hua Mei Miao and asked her to help plan the route to the South China Sea.

"The final destination should be as close to the upside down mountain as possible, so that we can enter the North Sea directly from there." Xie Wen gestured on the map and said: "You haven't seen that mountain yet? The current that can climb the mountain is a It’s a very strange scenery.”

Kelimiao, who was lying on his shoulder, also regained her energetic appearance, and kept echoing: "Yes, yes, and the speed is very fast, it's so interesting, meow!"

Then she turned around and pulled Xie Wen's ears, and asked curiously: "Brother Xie Wen, are we not going to take the Grand Route this time?"

Just like entering the East China Sea from the West Sea, the South China Sea and the North Sea are not adjacent to each other. The only intersection is the Diandai Mountain. In other words, only walking through the Diandai Mountain is the fastest and easiest.

However, there was no need for Xie Wen to explain in too much detail to Kelimiao. Anyway, the little puppet just asked casually, so he simply made a joke and said: "If you take the windless belt, then you will be responsible for driving the boat again."

"Meow!" The little puppet was suddenly startled, then turned his head and said coquettishly: "Keli thinks it would be better to let Sister Huamei and the others see the Upside Down Mountain, meow..."

(=ω=)

Tapping the little clever guy's nose with his finger, Xie Wen returned his attention to the map and studied the route with Hua Mei Miao.

With the nautical cat Hua Mei Meow around, the entire route planning became much easier and more concise. She studied the scope and progress ratio of the previous watchtower mode, allowing Xie Wen to skip some closer ones. There are overlapping islands in the watchtower range, and Hua Mei Miao has a rough estimate of how much progress they can push through this trip.

"...After arriving at this island, the map progress should be pushed to about 77%. In order to prevent the open area from being insufficient by then, I deliberately added a few more islands in the middle, and even if I made a mistake in calculation, it is still poor. After a while, we only need to run here a little more, and we won’t be too far from Upside Down Mountain.”

While Huamei Miao was gesturing on the map, she explained to Xie Wen her plan for planning the route, and even had her backup plan ready.

And although she said there was a possibility of making a mistake, looking at Xiao Lihua's confident look, Xie Wen even believed that even if the islands that were deliberately added were eliminated, the final progress would be exactly 75%. above.

As for why he didn't choose to open the map 100% like Donghai, it was naturally because doing so was time-consuming and the benefits were not large enough.

The most needed navigation cats and medical cats are already available. The Dudu Qianjin upgraded with Baoshu Adam is also strong enough. There is no urgent need for a boatman. Besides... there is no way to accurately select among the 100% rewards. Shipwright cats, assisting cats, can only be said to have strong hands-on skills. Whether they can repair ships is another matter.

Of course, the more important thing is that the almighty Link Meow said that he also knows a thing or two about shipbuilding and ship repair...

After deciding on the route, Xie Wen moved out the phone bug and called Morgans.

When we arrived at the new map, we naturally had to find the NPC Morgans to learn about the treasures (famous swords and devil fruits), but Xie Wen didn't plan to run around for some uncertain news this time, unless it was definite news. He will not deviate from the route Hua Mei Miao just planned.

Because compared to collecting illustrations of famous swords, monsters and fruits that have not appeared in comics, it is obviously faster to collect fragments from those illustrations that have roles in the comics. Therefore, Xie Wen collected other famous swords and fruits that he had never heard of. , it doesn’t matter if you can’t collect it.

Of course, there is another reason... Now when I wake up every day, there are more and more cats pressing on me, and Xie Wen's desire to summon new cats is no longer as urgent as before...

"Hahaha——!" As soon as the call was connected, the first thing that came was Morgans' familiar laughter, "Your call came at such a coincidence, I happen to have something to ask you!"

"Ah?" Xie Wen scratched his head in confusion.

I have been in the windless zone recently, and I don’t seem to have done anything big? If anything, it would have been a fight with the Empress, but that was all some time ago, and Morgans should have known about it a long time ago.

Is it about the manuscript?

As a result, when Morgans opened his mouth, it turned out that it was still the Empress's business, but he didn't seem to know what exactly happened...

"The Nine Snakes Pirates seem to be inquiring about you recently. Have you offended those women?" Morgans asked.

The reason he didn't know until now is also very simple. When Xie Wen met the Empress, they happened to be returning from the robbery and were planning to return to Daughter's Island. So even if Hancock wanted to find out the details of Xie Wen, he would have to Wait until they go to sea again.

After figuring out the reason, Xie Wen didn't hide it, and answered casually: "I'm going to the South China Sea. I ran into Nine Snakes' ship while crossing the windless zone, and there was a little trouble. We had a small dispute, got into a fight with them, and finally took a step back and separated from them... I thought this matter was over."

After getting rid of the influence of the fruit's ability, Xie Wen put this matter behind him, but if he encounters Nine Snakes' ship next time, he will not foolishly engage in a battle with the opponent, and directly Just let Kelimiao open it up.

"Hey hey hey..."

Morgans is a very clever person. He knew as soon as he heard that it was Nine Snakes' people who suffered a loss. After all, the empress's personality was not like someone who could talk well. He could make her give in. It must be because there was nothing he could do with Xie Wen. Forced to do so.

He now somewhat believes that Xie Wen did not know about the City of Spring Queen before.

"You're not going to write this up as news again, are you?" Xie Wen asked helplessly, thinking about which CP's information he would choose to silence this birdie this time.

However, after pondering for a moment, Morgans actually denied Xie Wen's guess.

"No, you just simply handed over. The Nine Snakes Pirates have not been damaged at all, and Girl Island is isolated from the world. I can't find any evidence at all. Although there is no problem in making up some content, the empress is the king after all. Shichibukai, I can't arrange her without evidence...unless you are willing to come forward and admit it."

Morgans' tone was full of regret. It was obvious that he already knew Xie Wen's temperament very well and knew that he would not be able to hide from such a thing. Then by hyping this news so enthusiastically, not only will it anger the Nine Snakes Pirates, but it will also create a rift with Xie Wensheng, just to report on such a small-scale conflict, which is really not worthwhile.

Fortunately, the long-standing friendship between me and Morgans is still useful...

Xie Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't have much information related to CP anymore, so he could save every piece of information he could.

Then, he told Morgans about the real business - consulting information about famous swords and devil fruits in the South China Sea.

Morgans would no longer argue with Xie Wen about such low-value information. Not only did he tell Xie Wen all the relevant information he knew, but he also promised to notify him as soon as possible if there was any new information.

The reason that prompted him to do this was not only the news that Xie Wen forced the Nine Snakes Pirates to make concessions, which made Morgans further improve his evaluation of Xie Wen, but also because Xie Wen was willing to hand over his life paper to him...

This proves that Xie Wen may not really have any power behind him, so the World Economic Society will naturally have to firmly grasp this high-quality ally who is well-informed, powerful, and can write articles.

The new activities of Bird Soul are quite interesting. I wish I could keep them forever... I really prefer farming and business simulation games.

I’ve also heard about the Stitch Monster Palu, but I’ve never played it, or even watched the video, mainly because I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it.

It’s definitely not possible to write code stably during the Chinese New Year, so I need to save more manuscripts just in case.

And I am also thinking about adding more updates during the New Year. As for how much I will add, it depends on my manuscript storage during this period... Don't have too high hopes.

Hmm...adding one more update counts as a plus, right?

…

Thanks to Hey Bear and wayyyyyy for the reward.
