Make Da Gu into soup: "It's just once, don't worry. The good stuff is all coming later."
Make Da Gu into soup: "Especially once new members join."
Right now, the chat group only had a few people. Whether it was Da Gu, Su Yunqing, or Bai Xuan, all came from a modern worldview. While they each had some mysterious elements, compared to tech items, their worldviews were utterly lacking.
So it was a waiting game. Wait until new members join—especially those from mystical or magical worlds. That's when the lottery really gets exciting.
Most Evil Spirit: "That may be, but we don't know when new members will join. The timing is completely random."
Most Evil Spirit: "And besides, we still have to figure out how to actually earn points."
Tokisaki Kurumi rubbed her temples. To participate in the lottery, she needed points. But points could only be earned through exchanges.
What in her world held high value?
Spirit Crystals? If she tried selling those, the Primordial Spirits might just pop out and end her. Before she was strong enough to challenge them, that path was too dangerous.
So… DEM or AST tech? Those things should be worth quite a few points, right?
Make Da Gu into soup: "If the pyramid appears, I'll go in early and sell the two statues—except Ultraman Tiga, of course."
Make Da Gu into soup: "And those monsters… their corpses should also be worth a lot of points."
Make Da Gu into soup: "Better to train in close combat anyway. Using light attacks would destroy the corpses, and less points wouldn't be ideal."
Da Gu didn't have many methods for earning points, but these two were enough for him.
Ordinary Group Leader: "What a righteous Ultraman Tiga!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Even the Ultraman statues aren't spared."
Make Da Gu into soup: "They're just going to get destroyed by Golza anyway. Might as well sell them and get stronger from the lottery."
Make Da Gu into soup: "Then I can better protect the Earth."
Make Da Gu into soup: "Righteous and proper!"
Child of Nature: "Well said!"
Uchiha Dance King: "Well said!"
Be My Son: "Well said!"
Most Evil Spirit: "Well said!"
Uchiha Dance King: "That's exactly the right move!"
Golden Flash: "…"
Da Gu had been corrupted by you chaotic bunch.
Child of Nature: "Think carefully. Once you get points, you don't have to spend them on the lottery. You can trade with group members."
Child of Nature: "After selling the statues, you could use some points to exchange for Uchiha Madara's taijutsu, or Whitebeard's taijutsu. There's no doubt their hand-to-hand combat is top-tier in their respective worlds."
Child of Nature: "Madara's skill emphasizes technique—the killing techniques honed through life-and-death battles. His final battle with the hundred-thousand ninja army? A flawless, fluid slaughter."
Child of Nature: "Whitebeard's feats in the anime show more of the sheer power of the Gura Gura no Mi and Haki, with less focus on actual skill. But according to the lore, purely in taijutsu terms, the One Piece world is stronger than Naruto's world. Whitebeard's taijutsu is still at the absolute peak of his world. Even without the Devil Fruit, he has few equals."
Child of Nature: "Speaking of which… can red envelopes transmit abilities? If not, all this analysis is useless."
He remembered this chat group was different from the ones in the novels he'd read before. Red envelopes often allowed abilities to be sent—if this one didn't, he'd just pretend he hadn't said anything.
Ordinary Group Leader: "…?"
Make Da Gu into soup: "…?"
Most Evil Spirit: "…?"
Uchiha Dance King: "…?"
Be My Son: "…?"
We were seriously listening to your analysis, and suddenly you ask this.
Child of Nature: "What's wrong? I just joined the chat a couple of days ago. Isn't it normal not to know?"
Child of Nature: "And no one's sent me a red envelope either."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Fair enough."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Red envelopes can transmit abilities, but you lose your own when you send them. Same for taijutsu, probably."
Child of Nature: "Tch… that's lame."
Most Evil Spirit: "Tch… lame."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Tch… lame."
Golden Flash: "Tch… lame."
Make Da Gu into soup: "Agreed."
Da Gu Stew: "So what now? Keep doing the lottery?"
He reluctantly nodded. If he could directly gain the combat experience of Whitebeard or Madara, fighting monsters would be much easier—but alas, that wasn't possible.
Bai Xuan rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then said:
Child of Nature: "Then trade for Madara's Three Tomoe Sharingan, and Whitebeard's mastery of the three types of Haki."
Child of Nature: "After transforming into Ultraman Tiga, you at least have energy to spend."
Child of Nature: "The transformation lasts at most three minutes, maybe slightly less. It won't consume too much. Even a Three Tomoe Sharingan couldn't absorb all that immense light."
Make Da Gu into soup: "I see…"
Make Da Gu into soup: @Uchiha Dance King, @Be My Son, can we trade?"
Be My Son: "Go ahead, Da Gu. Be bold. This is a fair trade."
Uchiha Dance King: "Hmph. Don't underestimate our generosity."
Just like Whitebeard said: this was an equal exchange. Points might even be more valuable—but with more uncertainty. Still, it didn't matter much; what they gave up wasn't that valuable anyway.
Most Evil Spirit: "With your luck, I don't see this as a fair trade at all."
Most Evil Spirit: "Don't pull out some steel pipes or dolls next."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Exactly."
Uchiha Dance King: "Only you two have no right to judge us."
One got a "thank you for your purchase" lottery ticket, the other got cosmetic surgery. How could they compare?
Golden Flash: "Hahaha!"
Meow Meow: "Meow, meow! I want to try earning points too!"
Meow Meow: "If I can get something good and hand it to the boss… maybe I can replace him, hehe."
