\[System Notification: Group member Su Xiao Qi has successfully altered the storyline, gaining 180,000 points.]*
At midnight, as the notification appeared, the chat group exploded with excitement. Nami immediately rushed over to Su Xiao Qi's side.
**\[Lu Linglong]:** When I saw this notification, I suddenly felt like taking out Zhang Chulan.
**\[Kaito Kuroba]:** What a coincidence, I'm also considering whether to take out Edogawa Conan.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** @Su Xiao Qi, big bro's watching here. Gintama-san can let you play all year for just 99,999 points.
**\[Sakuragi Hanamichi]:** @Sakata Gintoki, don't steal my spot! I'm the big bro's number one junior, you're at best number two.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** You want me to be number two? Do you even know what "number two" means, you red-haired monkey?
**\[Sakuragi Hanamichi]:** What did you say, you white-haired deadfish eyes?
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** Go play with your ball. Now is adult time.
**\[Tokisaki Kurumi]:** Oh? Don't you find it strange? Usually at this time, our Miss Nami would be the first to show up, but now she's silent. And those two are together... what do you think?
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** %*@#￥*!
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** @Zhu Zhuqing, Qing-chan, your house is being robbed! Get out here!
**\[Zhu Zhuqing]:** The three of us are together.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** What? Three people? Have you fallen that low? Aren't you afraid kids might see this and report our chat group?
**\[Lu Linglong]:** If anyone gets reported, it should be you.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** @Lu Linglong, Linglong-chan, you're my last hope now. Please guard your boundaries.
**\[Lu Linglong]:** Boundaries? What matters is points, right? Isn't that what you always say? So @Su Xiao Qi, want to hang out?
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** Alright alright, you guys want to drive me crazy? @Tokisaki Kurumi, Kurumi-chan, I know you're not that kind of person.
**\[Tokisaki Kurumi]:** Sorry, but now I belong to @Su Xiao Qi, mentally and physically.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** You bunch of bastards! Aren't you afraid I'll quit the group? Without me, will you still be this happy every day?
**\[Lu Linglong]:** Hmm, that kind of makes sense. So how about you stay a little longer?
**\[Nami]:** @Sakata Gintoki, shut up! If you want to quit, just do it. The three of us are busy, no time for you.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** Hey, weirdos, I'm reporting you for gathering to cause mischief.
**\[Lu Linglong]:** Nami, what are you busy with?
**\[Nami]:** You'll know when you come in a few days. There's a surprise guaranteed to make you happy.
**\[Lu Linglong]:** Okay!
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** Gintama-san is coming tomorrow. I can't wait.
**\[Nami]:** Whatever. But if you throw up everywhere like last time, don't blame me for throwing you off the ship.
**\[Sakata Gintoki]:** How dare you!
Meanwhile, after Su Xiao Qi transferred points to Zhu Zhuqing, he said, "Zhu Qing, let's start the lottery."
For a while, Zhu Zhuqing spammed the chat with her lottery draws.
At first, other group members checked what items they got, but as the scroll kept going, they grew numb.
Zhu Zhuqing herself was just as numb — after spending 100,000 points, she was exhausted and decided to save the rest of the points.
Su Xiao Qi and Zhu Zhuqing took nearly an hour to count the loot, and Su Xiao Qi was happy to see his Gravity Room restored.
Besides the Gravity Room, there were many other great items, though still no Transmigration Card. Overall, the 100,000 points were well spent.
After absorbing her own 100,000 points for the fourth soul ring, Zhu Zhuqing returned to Douluo Continent. There were no extra beds for her, and she was too shy to share a bed with Su Xiao Qi in front of others.
"Su Xiao Qi, I'm in a good mood today, so you can sleep in my bed tonight. But no funny business with me or Vivi."
"No chance of that."
Su Xiao Qi looked at Nami's radiant smile and felt a pang of jealousy. She had just coaxed Zhu Zhuqing, buying several ninjutsu from her at a low price.
After a night's rest, Su Xiao Qi was free to move the next day, but still hadn't gotten used to his new tail — many things required relearning.
He also had to constantly guard against attacks from the Straw Hat crew. He absolutely would not let them play with his tail.
Four days later, the group arrived at the port town of Alabasta Kingdom — the town of Canola Flower.
The reason for landing here was simple — Su Xiao Qi wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet Fire Fist Ace or Smoker.
He wanted to test if the ki from Dragon Ball could counter the Devil Fruit powers of the Pirate world.
But before landing, there was one more important thing.
Nami smiled at the Straw Hats, "Everyone ready? My friends are about to arrive."
As she finished, Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Linglong, and Sakata Gintoki appeared.
"Oh\~ fun."
Luffy remained Luffy — just happy and amused.
"Ah, such cute girls!"
Sanji's eyes sparkled with hearts upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Linglong, these two 'big' beauties.
Before Nami could start introducing, Gintoki immediately stirred things up.
"Nami-chan, Linglong-chan, since we parted last time, I've been thinking about you every day."
"Kaya-chan, my biggest regret last time was not seeing you. Are you better? Need Gintoki to heal you?"
"Vivi-chan, you look so good in person. Can I get your autograph? Write 'Vivi, who loves Gintoki the most.'"
"Zhu Qing-chan, have you grown again? Damn, poor Su Xiao Qi."
Gintoki's string of antics left not only the Straw Hats confused but even the chat group members biting their lips.
*Bang bang bang bang!* An angry Nami punched Gintoki's head repeatedly, yelling, "You damn white hair, don't embarrass me in front of my crew!"
Sanji didn't miss the chance to kick in, muttering, "You creepy white hair, stay away from these lovely ladies."
Gintoki jumped up and roared at Sanji, "Nami-chan hitting me is one thing, but why you, brow-curling guy? Believe it or not, I'll kick your balls to pieces."
"What did you say!" Sanji got angry, staring at him, "You deadfish eyes have no right to talk to me like that!"
Gintoki refused to back down, "Because I'm the protagonist and you're just an insignificant supporting character. Do you know what it means to be the real main character?"
Just then, Nami punched both of them on their heads, annoyed: "Both of you shut up! Why did I end up with two idiots like you as group members and crew?"
Meanwhile, Vivi was looking at Zhu Zhuqing's fiery figure, starting to understand what Su Xiao Qi meant by "big." She felt utterly defeated in that department.
"It's okay. From their looks, Zhu Qing should be in her twenties. I'm still developing. In a few years, I'll catch up."
Just as Vivi encouraged herself quietly, Lu Linglong's words struck a blow to her confidence.
"Zhu Qing-chan, I'm getting more and more jealous of you. You say you had that figure at twelve years old — I wonder how you'll look at my age."
"Ten, twelve years old?"
Vivi's expression turned strange. Is this the kind of figure a twelve-year-old should have? Have my sixteen years been wasted?
