Chapter 234 New Card Double Draw
When Sig saw the news, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What's wrong with this world? I clearly labeled it as fake news, why would anyone believe it?"
Unlike before, Sig had directly labeled the Angel Fruit as fake news for entertainment purposes only.
Logically, it should have been the same as the previous Multi-Fruit ability, the Grilled Skewer Fruit, and no one should have taken it seriously.
But now it seemed...
"What? I'm a Face Face Fruit user?"
"What? I'm also a Grilled Skewer Fruit user?"
"What? The Angel Fruit is related to the One Piece?"
"What? I ate the Angel Fruit, so I'm the only Multi-Fruit user in the world?"
"..."
A series of absurd speculations completely overwhelmed Sig.
Sig felt that the world's news media industry had undergone dramatic changes that no one had expected.
Even he himself hadn't anticipated so many messy speculations from others.
This had completely deviated from his original plan.
Sig's original expectation was for the fake news of the Angel Fruit to become a new hot topic, taking away the heat from the Rainbase City sandstorm incident.
The result... the heat was indeed taken away, and the Angel Fruit became an even more explosive hot topic.
Now, few people were discussing the Rainbase City sandstorm incident and Crocodile.
But he never expected that his name would be linked to the Angel Fruit.
Not only the Angel Fruit, but even the previous fake news, the Grilled Skewer Fruit that Sig had randomly made up, was now believed by many people.
"How did I become the world's only Multi-Fruit user, the strongest ability user in history?"
Sig took a deep breath, his heartbeat accelerating slightly.
This joke had gone too far....
He had originally prepared this huge burden for Blackbeard.
The result... the burden was created, but somehow, he ended up carrying it himself?
His reputation, on the contrary, became even more prominent with the news of the Angel Fruit...
"How can I prove my innocence?"
Sig fell into deep thought.
Unlike the previous slander about him being a lolicon, when only one newspaper published that false news, it wasn't difficult for Sig to use Stussy's influence to intimidate them.
But the current situation was already beyond Sig's control. Too many media outlets had made related speculations; it was like spilled water that couldn't be retrieved!
Let alone Sig, even Morgans, the uncrowned king of the news industry, could no longer control this public opinion.
The World Government?
Not to mention that Sig had no way to influence the World Government to make a clarification...
In this world, the World Government's ability to control public opinion was indeed not very good.
Otherwise, how could a king of the underworld become the news king of the newspaper industry?
"What should I do? Continue to use a new big news story to try and steal the spotlight from the Angel Fruit?"
Sig had a headache, feeling that this wasn't a good solution.
What could he do if the situation got out of control again?
Sig temporarily shelved the idea of continuing to act recklessly and focused his attention on the wanted poster in his hand.
"Bounty... One Billion!"
Sig counted the zeros after the bounty again and again, confirming that he hadn't miscalculated.
His heart raced once more, and he felt uneasy.
"Don't panic, don't panic. Anyway, soon, I'll achieve my grand plan, change my identity, and start anew!"
As Sig comforted himself, a virtual panel that only he could see quickly unfolded before his eyes.
"Achievement Task: Bounty of One Billion has been achieved. Reward: One random card draw opportunity."
The panic in Sig's heart subsided slightly. It was time for his favorite card drawing session.
"A person's dreams will never end. Maybe this time I'll draw an invincible card?"
Sig still hadn't given up on his dream of transforming into an invincible powerhouse.
However, this time, before he could draw a card, another system prompt sounded.
"Achievement Task: Bounty of One Billion has been achieved. Reward: One random card draw opportunity."
T-Two consecutive draws?
Sig's eyes widened slightly.
Without hesitation, his mind sank into the familiar sea of stars.
Before his eyes, starlight flickered continuously, finally converging into two cards, shining brightly in the sea of stars before Sig.
One was a low-quality bronze card, and the other was a dazzling golden card.
It really was two consecutive draws....
Maybe one day in the future, I can save up for a ten-draw and have a good time?
Sig felt hope rising in his heart.
The two cards of different colors began to flip with Sig's thoughts.
The surface of the bronze card on the left was a short sword that Sig was already very familiar with.
This short sword was ordinary in appearance, unremarkable, with nothing particularly attractive about it.
The golden card on the right was even stranger.
On the card face was a blurry human figure, seemingly shrouded in a cloud of mist.
As Sig watched, the figure in the mist underwent strange changes in appearance.
One moment, it was a broad-shouldered, honest-looking man.
The next, it was a childish elementary school student, and then vaguely, a cunning-looking middle-aged man...
Every second, the figure in the mist was constantly changing shape, but his face was shrouded in a faint mist, making it impossible to see clearly, giving it an illusory feeling.
Sig first focused his attention on the first card.
Item Card: Sword of Self-Destruction
Quality: C-rank
Ability: Inflicts minor damage on oneself and disguises it as a new or fatal injury.
"As expected, it's the Sword of Self-Destruction?"
A question arose in Sig's mind.
This was the first time Sig had drawn exactly the same card, and it was an item card.
"So what's the use of this?"
Sig could finally dual-wield Swords of Self-Destruction, doubling his bleeding efficiency and inflicting damage on himself like crazy?
"Maybe one day I'll draw a Berserker card from DNF, and I can dual-wield Swords of Self-Destruction and wreak havoc?"
As he was lost in wild thoughts, the system took the initiative to give a prompt.
[Duplicate cards can be used to strengthen the card itself.]
"What? You can actually strengthen cards?"
Sig was a little stunned, but then he came to his senses and materialized another Sword of Self-Destruction in this sea of stars.
The two identical cards gradually merged into one amidst the shining starlight, and then, a brand new Sword of Self-Destruction appeared before Sig.
Item Card: Sword of Self-Destruction
Quality: C+-rank
Ability: Inflicts minor damage on oneself and disguises it as a new injury, fatal injury, or death.
+1 to treasure?
"I understand."
Sig suddenly realized.
"Sword of Self-Destruction, could this be this actor's ultimate treasure?"
