Hearing Dragon ask that, Koala slowly relaxed, but when it came to the task Dragon had given her, her face was full of worry: "It's too difficult, Dragon. Your requirement for each of us to have a mobile phone is simply impossible to fulfill. Mobile phones are too hard to buy. I had to pay a high price and coax it out of someone else's hands for a long time to get this one."
And for the past half month, I haven't seen any News Pigeons. Not to mention mobile phones, I can't even buy newspapers.
If this continues, our intelligence department will be temporarily paralyzed. We can only rely on some encrypted Den Den Mushi to transmit messages, but compared to mobile phones, they are too slow."
Experiencing the convenience of mobile phones, then having to go back to the old Den Den Mushi era, that would be more unbearable than killing them. This is the power of technology.
"What? Has it really come to this?"
Dragon was very surprised. When mobile phones first came out, no one bought them, but after just one day, just one day, mobile phones became incredibly popular, with no end in sight!
"So, what's the current equipment like?"
Koala said somewhat dejectedly: "Currently, only captain-level personnel and regional leaders have mobile phones. Other personnel are not equipped, and even our intelligence department only has three."
...
The situation is indeed serious. The importance of mobile phones goes without saying. In terms of information transmission and contact, they are absolutely paramount!
"I'll figure out a way to solve the problem of purchasing mobile phones."
"Mmm, alright."
Seeing Dragon's worried face, Koala also tried to force a smile and comforted him:
"However, I've created a group chat. Although messages might be somewhat limited and a bit slower, it's infinitely faster than before. We can communicate information with much more ease in the future, and we don't have to worry about Den Den Mushi being wiretapped."
Koala's beautiful eyes were full of smiles, especially when she discovered that TikTok could not only entertain but also had powerful information exchange capabilities, which made her, as an intelligence gatherer, ecstatic for several days.
Hearing this, Dragon nodded slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Wiretapping? Although it won't be wiretapped by the World Government, it can be wiretapped by the TikTok producer."
"You... you mean..." Koala's face instantly turned pale, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"That's right, it's exactly as you think." Dragon's eyes narrowed. Sabo, who was nearby, also realized the seriousness of the matter and interjected: "Since the TikTok producer can create such extraordinary mobile phones, he can certainly see our communication records. It's fine if the other party is a friend, but if he's an enemy... it could be troublesome."
Koala's pretty face turned pale, realizing the seriousness of the matter: "Then... what should we do?"
"Don't worry, I have a way." Dragon looked at Koala, "Are you sure only the News Agency sells mobile phones in the entire sea?"
Koala nodded, very certain: "Yes, Dragon."
"Then it's easy to handle." Dragon's tone lightened considerably, "I have some dealings with Morgans, the boss of the News Agency. Wouldn't it be fine to just ask him? That guy must know something."
"That's right!" Koala and Sabo exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise, then their gazes simultaneously turned to Dragon.
Dragon also took out a special Den Den Mushi, which was clearly different from the usual ones. He selected a number and dialed it directly.
Boruboru Boru~~~~

"Hello! A rare guest, Dragon, I didn't expect a busy man like you to call me. Is there some big news? Hurry up and tell me! I'm already getting excited!" Morgans' excited and arrogant roar came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, clearly in good spirits.
"Morgans, what big news do I have? The biggest news creator recently has always been you. I didn't expect you to be able to produce a groundbreaking technological product like the mobile phone. You're truly amazing!" Dragon's tone was unhurried, with a hint of teasing.
Praised by Dragon like that, Morgans was clearly a bit carried away.
But having risen to the level of an Emperor in the underworld, he understood what Dragon wanted to ask with just one sentence.
"Dragon, don't guess wildly, and don't try to trick me into talking. I won't tell you who he is." Morgans' tone was firm, clearly not wanting to reveal too much.
There was silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi for a while, then Dragon's low voice came through: "I just want to ask, is he a friend or an enemy? The mobile phone's communication capability is very powerful. If we use it, will it leak secrets to the World Government?"
"Hahaha, what, even you've started using mobile phones?" Morgans was a bit surprised. Although mobile phones are small, they are really good things. Otherwise, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, wouldn't be so cautious.
He thought for a moment. Their relationship was quite good, and there were many people in the Revolutionary Army, which was a huge market. He was very confident in selling mobile phones through them. Finally, he sorted out his thoughts and slowly spoke:
"First, as a friend, I warn you not to inquire about the TikTok producer. You only need to know that mobile phones have nothing to do with any faction, nor will they participate in any faction; they are purely for entertainment. I'm just working for him."
Morgans' show of weakness, invisibly made Roan look impressive, even astounding Dragon on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
Even Morgans, one of the Six Emperors of the Underworld, works for him?
Who exactly is the person who created the mobile phone? He's so powerful!
Dragon instantly felt numb all over, secretly startled, his forehead covered in tiny beads of sweat at some point.
However, he also got the answer he wanted: as long as the other party doesn't interfere with any faction, nothing else matters.
Just as he was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, Morgans' calm voice came through again:
"Dragon, do you want to hear about a collaboration?"
"Collaboration?" Dragon frowned. What was Morgans up to? But he still asked cautiously: "What kind of collaboration?"
"Hahahaha, Dragon, don't be nervous, it's just a normal collaboration. With our relationship, could I possibly trick you?" Morgans laughed heartily, a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Hmph!" Dragon snorted, clearly not buying it.
Morgans continued: "Mobile phones are exploding in popularity. Now, walking on the street, anyone without a mobile phone will feel inferior."
"Isn't that just your marketing strategy? Selling so few mobile phones every day isn't even enough to fill a gap in one's teeth." Dragon retorted coldly.
Hearing Dragon's mockery, Morgans immediately cursed: "Bullshit! Two hundred of my News Pigeon brothers are already exhausted! And the daily demand is still increasing day by day. That quantity scares even me!"
Hearing this, Dragon was first stunned. What was going on? It wasn't this guy's doing?
"It's really not your doing?" Dragon's tone held a hint of doubt.
"Of course not, and this is also related to the collaboration I'm about to discuss with you." Morgans' voice held a hint of mystery.
Dragon's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling as if good fortune had arrived. He wondered if his guess was correct.
Sure enough, Morgans' next sentence made his heart pound, and even Koala and Sabo beside him gasped and covered their mouths.
"Dragon, are you interested in selling mobile phones?"
