Chapter 610: The Tight-lipped
...
“Why bet your brain on the New Era?”
Even Vegapunk, the world's best brain, is a little confused.
"Isn't it popular now to gamble with body parts and think it's cool?"
Ger quipped.
"Captain, you're saying weird things again."
"Let's talk while we walk. You, the boss, have never been to my lab! I'll give you a good tour."
Gel and his companions continued to move forward under the leadership of Vegapunk.
"I just cut off my head because I can store all kinds of knowledge and data infinitely. The disadvantage is that as more data is stored, my head will also grow infinitely. It is too heavy and too big. It is like carrying an ancient giant on my head. It is too inconvenient, so I cut it off."
Vegapunk casually demonstrated how he snapped his head off.
"I see. Should I call you Dr. No-Brain from now on?"
"Dang! Dang!"
Vegapunk tapped the metal apple on his head and introduced it with a proud look on his face.
"I put my brain in the laboratory. This is an antenna on my head that can receive brain waves. Even if my brain is separated, I can still connect to my brain's database at any time."
"Wow! What a genius idea, Vegapunk!"
Ger gave a thumbs up and praised.
As they were talking, several people had already walked into the interior of Pluto. They took a look at the ancient weapon Pluto, which had been completely hollowed out and transformed into a laboratory with only an empty shell left. Gel didn't feel sorry at all. He just didn't know if Crocodile, who was obsessed with Pluto, would faint in the toilet after seeing this scene.
"Isn't Franky in the lab?"
Gel was very curious about how powerful Franky, who had fused with Pluto, was.
"No, little Franky went to Balkimore, and I asked him to help me fulfill my unfinished dream when I was young! I don't have anything to teach him about mechanical modification."
Speaking of Franky, Vegapunk couldn't help but reveal a look of pride on his face.
"Yeah, that boy is half your disciple, so it's only natural for you to order him around."
Ger nodded.
The Mechanical Island where Vegapunk's hometown Balkimoa is located is a typical winter island. It is covered with snow all year round and the surrounding sea is completely frozen. It is impossible to enter or exit without a large icebreaker.
Begabank is a kind and generous man who cares about the people of his hometown. When he was young, he developed many small inventions that could help them.
In order to prevent the people of Balkimoa from suffering from the severe cold, Vegapunk also designed a heating system that could change the climate of the entire winter island. However, due to lack of funds, the construction had to be interrupted, which became a great regret in his life. Now that the conditions are met, he is too busy to leave, so he thought of asking Franky to help him fulfill his original promise to his hometown.
"Hahaha, by the way, Captain Gul, I'm very sorry. I secretly embezzled a little bit of the research funds to help my hometown. It cost about 200 billion Baileys."
Vegapunk scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and the two blushes on his face became even redder.
"It's okay. You don't need to report this small amount of money to me. I just make sure there is enough money. No matter how it is used, you, as the director of the institute, can decide how to spend the research funds."
Gel waved his hand and said indifferently that the thing he cared least about now was probably money.
"Haha! Captain Gill, it is a great blessing for the human scientific community to have someone like you who is rich, understands the importance of science, and can unconditionally support our scientific research work!"
"No, no, the scientific world is blessed to have a genius like you. If Dr. Vegapunk hadn't been born, the scientific world would have been in darkness forever!!"
"Hahaha, you're so kind! You're so kind, Captain!"
"You're humble! You're humble, Doctor! Ahahahaha!"
Seeing the two of them arm in arm, shamelessly flattering each other in business, Abel on the side couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Kaido was still calculating in his mind, if they followed their previous model, how many weapons factories would he have to build and how many laborers would he have to squeeze out to make 20 billion berries?
...
"Hey, Doctor, why did you run out without telling me? You're going to make the bodyguard's job more difficult."
A fat man with a watermelon-like hairstyle, wearing a red bellyband and carrying a huge axe on his back ran over and said.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Zhan Taowan, but I didn't leave the institute. I just went to the door to pick someone up. Come, let me introduce you, this is Captain Geer."
Vegapunk pointed at Gel and introduced him to the newcomer.
"Zhan Taomaru?"
Gel was also stunned. Isn't this guy from the Navy Science Department? After Vegapunk became a toy, he should have forgotten all the memories related to Vegapunk. How could he still find this place?
Seeing Gol's confusion, Vegapunk explained.
"Zhan Taowan was adopted by me since he was young. After he left the Navy Science Department, I have been trying to ask someone to help me pass the message to Zhan Taowan and ask him to come find me. However, people with insufficient authority don't even know the existence of the Science Department. Fortunately, there is Jin."
"Hello, so you are the boss Gel who pays my salary? Why do you look so skinny and weak, not as powerful as the two behind you?"
After taking a serious look at Gel, Zhan Taomaru turned his gaze to the two big men, Weeble and Kaido, behind him and spoke very straightforwardly.
"There are so many good qualities in this boss, but you didn't even notice any of them. I'll deduct one day's salary from you, Zhan Taowan."
"What? Hey, hey, hey, one day's wages can buy a lot of barbecue!"
Zhan Taowan had a look of heartache. He wanted to say a few insincere words to compliment his boss, but when the words came to his lips, they automatically turned into true words.
"Not only is he skinny, he's also a very petty boss! Oh no, I mean the boss is really stingy, that's not right..."
"Hahaha, you are indeed the most tight-lipped man. You actually dared to say that I, the boss, am petty. I will deduct two more days' salary from you!"
Zhan Taomaru's eyes widened, and when he tried to speak again he quickly covered his mouth.
Gel was also amused! This guy's mouth is probably his true self.
