"Wait, what do you mean by that? You won't go back on your promises, will you? I'm telling you, we in Rōran won't give up our land!"
Back then, for the sake of the Ryūryaku, Vegapunk had given Rōran a vast and fertile piece of land. True, the environment in the Land of Wind had improved greatly, but such fertile and resource-rich land was still rare.
Queen Sara didn't want Vegapunk to go back on his word! The residents of Rōran had already taken root there!
"Don't worry, I'm not kicking you out. You'll still need to come in for some temporary overtime when I do experiments in the future!"
"And even if I did kick you out, I wouldn't take back the rewards I gave you. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Sara finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Thinking about it, it made sense. Having stayed in the lab for so long, Sara naturally knew that while Vegapunk wasn't exactly a saint, he was very generous to his subordinates. He would certainly disdain doing something like reclaiming rewards after letting someone go.
Thinking of this, Sara, who had been a bit anxious, blushed slightly and then said, just to make conversation:
"Why don't you need my help anymore?"
"Haven't you noticed that the Ryūryaku is becoming more and more stable? We've basically found all its movement patterns and control methods, so your role naturally isn't as significant."
"At most, I'll have you come over as insurance when I conduct experiments later. Under normal circumstances, the Ryūryaku doesn't need soothing at all anymore."
Hearing this explanation, Sara looked back at the office where she had worked for several years, feeling a bit of nostalgia—as if!
"Doesn't that mean I can go online every day now?! That's awesome!!"
Watching Sara jump for joy, Vegapunk massaged his temples helplessly. Although not as severe as the dream realization space, the emergence of the chakra genjutsu network had still created a bunch of useless people who only liked being online!
It couldn't be helped; seeking comfort and avoiding work is human nature. It was impossible to expect people to study online every day...
Even Vegapunk himself couldn't stay on the chakra network, where the time ratio was several or even dozens of times faster, studying and working all the time. That would just turn a person into a fool.
Conversely, there was never a shortage of people playing in the chakra network space every day. In fact, because the time ratio was so high, many people found themselves unable to adapt to real life upon returning.
Should I set a time limit for the chakra network space next time? If the time ratio is too high, it's easy for people to become disconnected from reality... Thinking about these random things, Vegapunk walked to the controller for monitoring the Ryūryaku, sat in the chair behind him, and checked the data.
"It's almost ready. If I add the large amount of Rinnegan and Tenseigan Chakra I've collected, I should be able to push its power to the limit."
"Plus, with the coordinates recorded in the quantum brain, the probability of returning directly to the One Piece World is over eighty percent!"
"The only problem is that this Ryūryaku energy doesn't seem easy to replenish... Although it's called Ryūryaku Chakra, it's actually completely different from regular Chakra. Neither ordinary Chakra nor the higher-level Ōtsutsuki Chakra can be truly converted to replenish it."
The problem this brings is that there's very little room for error; success must be achieved within a very few experiments.
Although there is Chakra energy created to mimic Ryūryaku energy, it is far more violent than the real thing. One must possess Space-Time Ninjutsu abilities to withstand it.
And that's just for traveling between Parallel Worlds. Thinking about going to the One Piece World, it's obviously going to be even more difficult, and the pressure on the human body will naturally be stronger.
If anything goes even slightly wrong while crossing between the two worlds, it would be game over. Therefore, Vegapunk didn't dare use that imitation Ryūryaku energy; at most, he used it for some initial experiments. To truly return to the One Piece World, he had to rely on the authentic Ryūryaku.
