Raiden Ei put the two Devil Fruits back into the box and directly stored the entire box into her system backpack.
There's no time to figure out what kind of Devil Fruits these are right now, so I'll just keep them for now!
She looked at the items piled around her, her eyes once again dazzled by the glittering gold jewelry. She had seen it once before, so it wasn't as shocking as the first time.
However, she didn't check the large boxes full of gold jewelry first. Instead, she walked towards the area where weapons and equipment were placed.
A pile of weapons of varying lengths leaned against the wall, stacked one on top of another, looking a bit messy.
She picked up a white Musou Isshin from among them. It was decorated with silver stripes and carved with some kind of pattern, but she didn't recognize it.
She carefully examined its appearance; it was still intact. She directly drew it from its sheath.
"Clang!"
The entire blade slid out smoothly, its body gleaming with a cold light, and its edge sharp. It gave a sense of lightness, as if what she held was merely a feather, very nimble.
"Not bad! This quality is almost comparable to the demon blade zanmian I bought." Raiden Ei swung it a few times. It wasn't perfectly suited for her, but she still gave it a good evaluation.
She immediately sheathed the Musou Isshin and put all these weapons and equipment into her system backpack. She counted a total of 32 various weapons.
After examining the decent weapons, she then walked towards the most abundant items here: the gold jewelry.
Raiden Ei reached out and picked up a gold brick she had never touched before, feeling its weight in her hand, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"So gold bricks are this heavy! One must be about twenty catties! And there are quite a lot here."
She then checked the other unopened large boxes, all of which, without exception, contained gold jewelry, and some were gold ornaments, clearly very expensive.
She counted them; there were a total of 62 large boxes, which had filled the entire space. She unceremoniously put all of them into her system backpack.
All that was left here were the 7 cannons piled to the side. She didn't recognize these either. She searched around but found no cannonballs. What good are cannons without cannonballs?
However, she still put them into her system backpack. They didn't take up any space anyway, so she might as well keep them for now!
Perhaps they would be useful someday.
Raiden Ei looked around, and after confirming that nothing was left behind, she used her consciousness to open the system panel, intending to see how much energy this gold could be converted into.
She was filled with anticipation.
energy conversion system
Initial Panel:
Energy: 2058
Raiden Ei
Age: 0
Physique: 6 + (50000)
Armament Haki: 5 + (20000)
Observation Haki: 5+ (20000)
Haoshoku: 2 + (50000)
Backpack: Kusanagi no Inabikari (10927), demon blade zanmian (3450), Devil Fruit ×7 (36000), Weapons (26462), Large Boxes ×62 (20333), log pose ×3, Military Supplies (2213), Half Stone Door (325), Clothes, Food, Books, Wooden Barrels, Sundries
Raiden Ei directly skipped the data on the panel and began checking the items in her backpack. After a quick scan, her eyes lit up.
She couldn't help but murmur to herself as she looked:
"A black Devil Fruit is 8000 energy, and a green one is 7000. Is this really the most important thing here?"
"Those weapons are also good; on average, each one is worth over 800 energy points."
"The most abundant gold isn't as good as those weapons? Each box must weigh over 1000 catties, right? Is that all it is?"
Raiden Ei quickly thought of the gold ornaments! Those were indeed exquisite and luxurious, but ten ornaments weren't as heavy as one gold brick.
"I should sell these gold ornaments!"
"Converting them directly into energy would be a loss. They look quite high-end, so they should be very valuable."
"So that large door isn't an ordinary item either?"
"I don't know what kind of rock it is, but it's comparable to gold."
Raiden Ei converted some items she didn't need into energy. She needed to upgrade her physique first to see how much it would improve.
57 large boxes, excluding the 5 containing gold ornaments, were converted into 19205 energy points. 6 Devil Fruits, excluding the two newly acquired ones and the Ancient Species, were converted into 15000 energy points. 28 weapons, excluding the 4 with the highest energy, were converted into 15551 energy points, totaling 48756 energy points.
Adding the previous 2000-plus points, Raiden Ei directly added the newly reached 50000 energy points to her physique. The level displayed on the panel also rose from 6 to 7.
In an instant, her whole being felt different. From her understanding of her own body, her current physical fitness was at least twice as strong as before.
The amount of Haki accumulated in her body and its recovery speed also greatly increased. She felt as if she had been comprehensively strengthened, not by one or two points, but by multiples.
But she still felt much weaker than Sengoku, whom she had encountered before. However, she wasn't too worried; she had only been in the Pirate World for less than a month and a half, and it wouldn't be long before she surpassed him.
Raiden Ei looked at the system panel again.

When Raiden Ei's consciousness saw the energy required to raise her physique to level 8, she exclaimed in surprise:
"It takes 200,000 energy points to reach level 8?"
"That's too much!"
"Doesn't this upgrade increase exponentially?"
"Then in the future, won't I have to work myself to death grinding for energy to upgrade?"
"I'd better think of a way to restore my Elemental Power!"
Raiden Ei walked back. There was no more treasure here. She planned to go to Jaya Island now and also test her upgraded physique.
As she passed by the arrows she had knocked away when she first entered, she remembered them. She bent down and picked them all up.
"These aren't ordinary arrows; they can still be used after being here for so long. Such short arrows must be for a crossbow or similar weapon."
She went back and found the crossbow that launched the arrows in the wall. She unhesitatingly broke open the wall, took it out, and then walked contentedly towards the large door.
As she left, Raiden Ei also took the other half of the stone door, leaving the place completely empty.
