Seeing the message, Takumi couldn't help but laugh. But he didn't continue teasing Saten Ruiko. Although the Magic Gods in her world were terrifying, to an average person, it didn't feel like much. Takumi: [It's fine, you're just an ordinary person anyway.] [They can't affect you.] That's what he said, but Saten Ruiko was still panicking. Saten Ruiko: [I'm freaking out!!] [Who wouldn't freak out in this situation!!] [I'm just a Level 0 esper!!] She was speechless. Takumi made it sound easy. Anyone would be unsettled upon learning that their world could be reshaped or rebooted at someone's whim. How could a top-tier powerhouse understand the agony of a complete weakling? Takumi: [No! You do have superpowers.] [They're just not strong.] Saten Ruiko: [What's the difference between that and having none at all?] She was technically an air-manipulator, but officially labeled a powerless esper! Takumi: [There are training methods for superpowers in the shop.] [You can buy them!] [Or just save up enough points and buy an enhancement serum to inject.] [Your abilities should get stronger that way.] [No big deal!] [So make sure to sign in daily.] [Or just buy a full enhancement directly from the group—only 253 points.] [That's the best value.] Saten Ruiko wasn't exactly powerless. She was just so weak it was basically the same. If she wanted superpowers, she could just go through the enhancement process via the chat group. Or buy a serum to fully develop her abilities. Both methods were viable. If not, then she could just follow the training method. Takumi had uploaded everything. Although superpowers across worlds might not work the same, it shouldn't be a problem. The system already adapted them. What could possibly go wrong? Still, even with powers, it wouldn't have helped yesterday. If it's time to cower, you cower. You think you can take on Magic Gods? That's why Takumi thought her fears were a bit unnecessary. Saten Ruiko: [I already saw it all!!] [I'm saving up points!!] She had seen everything in the group. That was her goal. The fastest way was a full enhancement through group functions. That was the most cost-efficient. Otherwise, she'd never save up enough points for other things. Training methods for esper powers? Yes, she wanted that too. But it'd take a long time, and she wasn't sure if it would even work. So for now, her priority was saving for the full enhancement. Only after that would she consider buying the training method slowly. A long journey ahead. Takumi: [Alright, enough chatting.] [Tomorrow I'm going to bring out Aincrad.] [Anyone who wants to train can just speak up and grab a flight over.] [Or transfer me the points, and I'll post a mission to bring you in.] That was the most profitable method. Let everyone give Takumi their points, and in exchange, they get a free ticket via the chat group. Everyone in the group popped up in response. Raiden Mei: [Okay, if I go, I'll find you!!] Bronya: [No problem. Free tickets really work!!] Bronya also thought it was a great idea. It definitely worked. Fujiwara Chika: [If that's the case, then I'm interested!!] [Count me in when the time comes!] Clearly, everyone was very excited. After saying all this in the group chat, Takumi closed the app. Miori Shiba looked over at Takumi. "You're not going to run all over the place again, right?" "Lately, you've been busy collecting people from all over." She sounded quite exasperated. Takumi really had been constantly running around. Time had flown by without them noticing. "I probably won't be running around anymore." "Unless something important happens in the group." He had already wrung out everything useful from the group. So there wasn't much that would make him run around now. The only place worth a trip was the Index world. But Takumi didn't want to go just yet. There was still so much to digest over here. At the same time, Takumi needed to forge a new divine authority. Miori Shiba nodded. "Good." She smiled brightly. After that, Takumi stayed at home, spending time with Miori Shiba and the others. Meanwhile, the newly arrived Yingjie and the MOTH members were extremely interested in Takumi's world. After getting access, Mobius immediately began poring over data about Takumi's world, trying to understand its structure. Not just Mobius, but Doctor Mei was also investigating. Takumi's data archive contained a massive trove of knowledge, including historical records from past civilizations in this world. That was the knowledge Takumi gained when he first transmigrated here. After reading through it, Doctor Mei frowned. "Feels like there's an invisible hand manipulating everything." "Spiritual energy revival? Human evolution?" "There's something fishy about all this." That was her impression. "Humanity fell too quickly." "And all conventional weapons became useless." "Even during the Honkai apocalypse, we could still resist at the start." "But this world lost the ability to fight back from the beginning." Without those powerful weapons, humanity lost its fangs. Yes, they gained superpowers, but by then, they had already lost their advantage. So what if you had powers? The original weapons were the real assurance. On top of that, the rate at which monsters evolved was just absurd. They overpowered humanity in a flash? If there's no conspiracy here, she wouldn't believe it even if she died. Even in death, she'd shout, "I don't believe it!" "Anyway, we need to fully understand this world's power system." "Several worlds' systems have been merged into this one, and this world's system can even accommodate them." "That's incredibly interesting." "In this world, it feels like everything can be explained." That last point was what intrigued Doctor Mei the most. She was completely captivated by Takumi's world now. Mobius nodded. "Then I'll study the biological side of things." "The superpower serum is fascinating—it has lots of room for improvement." "And there are some amazing herbs here too." "You go study the magic systems." "As for Velia... she's already dismantling the robots." "Have Kevin lie down on my operating table." "I'll need his help soon." Mobius beamed with excitement as she spoke. Doctor Mei had no objections about Kevin being put on the table. It wouldn't be the first time, after all.
