Ron took a deep breath, picked up the green potion on the table, and felt incredibly excited.
He hadn't expected the system, though late, to provide something so genuinely useful!
"A single dose can restore all life functions, eliminate all illnesses, hidden ailments..." Ron murmured to himself, "Only the system could produce such a good item."
Ron unhesitatingly opened the potion and drank it down.
As the potion entered his throat, a cool, refreshing sensation, like bathing in the spring breeze of a mountain wilderness, enveloped him. His body, like a parched river, was now nourished anew by a flowing stream, and the small fish that were on the verge of dying of thirst at the riverbed regained their vitality!
Warm currents flowed throughout his body, reaching his limbs and bones, and the illnesses that had plagued him for years instantly vanished without a trace!
He suddenly felt incredibly light, as if a great mountain had been lifted from his shoulders!
"Ah, that feels good!" Ron roared with excitement, then his gaze returned to the light blue screen, and he began to study the system.
Outside, Morgans, who was busy fabricating tomorrow's news, was startled by Ron's shout.
However, thinking of Ron's predicament, Morgans sighed. Regardless of the outcome after tomorrow, he would help Ron live out his later years peacefully.
"Everyone, keep working. Tomorrow's headline: Marineford is Heartless, Admiral Fired for Slacking Off!"
"Huh? Boss, what does 'slacking off' mean?"
"..."
...
Inside the room, Ron had already figured out the functions of the God-Tier Entertainment System. It was very simple: provide entertainment!
However, he looked at the system store and was a bit confused.
There was only one item in the store: a mobile phone!
Brand Model: Voyage Generation One!
Feature: Automatically adapts to the user's body size.
Price: 1 Berry.
Note: Cannot be transported, bought, or sold through system channels. Any cheating behavior will result in the confiscation of all gains.
As for other items, there were none for now. Yes, just none for now.
However, the system clearly explained the purpose of entertainment value: it could upgrade the store!
Presumably, after the store was upgraded, there would be more entertainment options.
As for acquiring entertainment value, it was simple: for every user who used a mobile phone, he would gain one point of entertainment value!
In that case, accumulating it would be quite fast.
Then, Ron's gaze fell on the system store: "This phone couldn't be the same as the one from my previous life, could it?" Ron was a bit incredulous, reaching into his pocket where he happened to have a 1 Berry coin.
"How do I top this up?"
[Place it below the phone and say "Top up X Berries."]
Hearing the system's explanation, Ron did as instructed: "Top up 1 Berry!" A black hole suddenly appeared above the 1 Berry coin, instantly swallowing it.
At the same time, Ron's system store balance also became 1 Berry.
"That convenient?!" Ron rummaged through Morgans's drawer, painstakingly finding a 10,000 Berry banknote, and placed it below the phone: "Top up 10,000 Berries!"
Immediately after, the 10,000 Berries disappeared, and the system store balance became 10,001 Berries!
"It worked! I guess it used spatial transmission capabilities."
"System, buy one phone first."
As the store balance decreased by 1, a basketball-sized black hole appeared above the table in front of him, and then a mobile phone dropped from the black hole.
Ron quickly reached out to catch it, looking at it in shock: "It really is a mobile phone!"
For an Earthling who hadn't seen a mobile phone in over forty years, his current mood was even more excited than seeing a hundred bikini-clad beauties running towards him!
Its size was the same as a regular mobile phone, and it could even automatically change its size according to the user's body shape.
This was incredibly user-friendly!
Otherwise, it would be a troublesome matter for people with huge physiques like Kaido, Whitebeard, and the Giant Race to use mobile phones.
Moreover, it was ultra-thin and extremely hard.
Ron tried it, and with his strength, he couldn't bend it!
Then he used Armament Haki, and still couldn't bend it!
Conqueror's Haki Infusion + Armament Haki, still couldn't bend it!
"It's really hard!" Ron exclaimed, so there was no need to worry about the phone being damaged.
As for waterproofing and such, there was even less to worry about; the entire phone was seamless, with no gaps to be found!
Even the power button seemed naturally integrated, a perfect fit!
"System products are indeed top-notch!"
Then Ron skillfully peeled off the protective film and powered it on!
The phone automatically connected to the world network!
But Ron noticed that in the top bar, there was no battery display.
"The phone doesn't use power? What if the power runs out?" The system's electronic explanation sounded in his mind:
[Voyage Generation One uses quantum battery technology and can be used continuously for a thousand years!]
"A thousand years? On Earth, this could be a family heirloom." Ron joked.
Without the worry of battery life, Ron swiped left and right and found that the entire phone only had one app: TikTok!
As for Green Bubble, Little Penguin, SMS, etc., there were none!
It was very clean!
Even cleaner than being infected with a virus!
"It's so clean, even hackers would weep at the sight."
Ron had originally planned to play some games or watch movies, as he hadn't played games or watched movies in over forty years.
Before he had a phone, he didn't feel much, but after getting one, he didn't want to wait a second longer.
"Forget it, scrolling through videos is fine too." Then Ron tapped the TikTok icon. It was the familiar opening screen, a large musical note, no ads, quite clean.
But after entering, he found that it was even cleaner inside than outside!
It was empty; there wasn't a single video!
At first, Ron thought it was a network issue, but after he uploaded a video himself, he found that the network speed was faster than even the conceptual deity Cao Cao of his previous life!
From this, he could conclude that it was definitely not a network problem. The problem could only be... Ron suddenly had a bad premonition, and then he tried it and found his guess was true!
"Damn it! So the entire TikTok app only has me!"
"I'm literally filming for myself to watch!"
"What kind of entertainment is this?!"
Ron grumbled as he exited TikTok and began to explore other phone functions.
Finally, he concluded:
Aside from not being able to make calls or send text messages, it had all the basic functions of a proper mobile phone, such as taking photos, recording videos, and uploading videos.
However, there was no web browsing function, because no one had built any web pages, so what would he browse?
Currently, the only entertainment app was TikTok.
"Wait a minute! The first user of TikTok in my previous life might have thought the same thing. It was only when more users came later that TikTok became all-encompassing!"
"Which means, I can let many people use mobile phones, register for TikTok, and then entertain themselves together! I can also accumulate entertainment value and upgrade the system store!"
Moreover, Ron believed that since the system even had a green potion that could cure all diseases, it must have other incredible items too!
"This world truly needs to change." Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Ron's lips curled slightly: "Roger, oh Roger, the Great Pirate Era you started is about to be transformed into the Great Entertainment Era by me! Hehehe!"
The Pirate World was too violent, too bloody. The anime only depicted the joyful, passionate side, just the tip of the iceberg.
But a little thought would lead one to guess how terrible this world was, with its glorification of pirates and its hypocritical, corrupt Marines, it went without saying.
Ron had previously wanted to change this world, killing Celestial Dragons, killing pirates, but the effect was minimal.
Now that he had the God Entertainment System, why be a pirate? Everyone, go scroll through videos, play games, watch movies!
"Even the smartest university students in the 21st century couldn't escape the temptation of mobile phones. Does the mere Pirate World think it can escape mobile phones?"
"Once mobile phones consume all your daily time, let's see if you still have time to be pirates!"
"Hahahahahahaha! I truly am a genius!"
Immediately after, Ron directly purchased ten thousand mobile phones!
Crash! Crash! Crash!!!
Ten thousand mobile phones poured out of the black hole, landing on the table, piling up into a small mountain!
The already small lounge was packed to the brim, barely leaving any standing room.
Such a huge noise startled Morgans again, who was outside drafting the news.
Ron wouldn't be so enraged by being expelled from the Marine that he'd dismantle his airship to vent his anger, would he?!
Thinking of this,
Morgans couldn't write another word. He turned around and angrily kicked open the lounge door: "Ron, you can do anything, just don't dismantle my..."
