Chapter 66: It's a Great Item, Please Put It On for Me

Raiden Mei: [Excuse me, if we know the future, will it still happen?] Everyone in the group was momentarily stunned by Mei's sudden question. Megumi Katou was the first to respond. She claimed to have some experience in the matter. Megumi Katou: [It seems not... When I found out what was going to happen, Aki was punched into the sky right before my eyes.] [A standalone case, though. Not sure if it's a valid reference.] Akeno: [Ara~ In that case, I have something to say as well.] [Issei Hyoudou died a little earlier than he should have.] [The future did change, but certain things that were meant to happen still did.] Miori Shiba: [Already immigrated. Not a reference!] Yuu: [Same here!] Sagiri: [I have no idea, I stopped streaming now.] Chika Fujiwara: [If we're going there, the future definitely changed. I avoided doing some things, and the timeline shifted.] Bronya: [No clue!] Zhongli: [From a general theoretical perspective, the moment you learn about the future, it's already changed.] The chat group burst into discussion about this topic. When you become aware of the future, it may already be altered. After all, there are things you don't want to happen. So maybe storylines should only be considered as reference. How you want to change the future still depends on you. Takumi: [Why are we getting philosophical?] [I feel like I'm growing another brain.] [What are you thinking? If it's too hard, just switch IDs.] [As I said, report to Miss Goose, or go to Elysium and borrow a new account.] [Or maybe just shout out loud—Answer me, Elysia!] [See if a pink fairy lady falls from the sky to help you~~!] [Maybe World Serpent will drop by too.] What kind of conversation is this? Seriously, what's the point of overthinking? The future? As long as you have absolute power, no matter what happens, you can shape it into what you want. Ultimately, it all depends on your strength. As the saying goes, "Cash in hand, no panic." Power is like money. With power, you gain peace of mind. Mei: [You're right... in that case, I'll follow your advice.] [But contacting Durandal might be tricky.] [Maybe the moment I send a message, Otto will know.] She raised an eyebrow at the thought. Now that she understood everything, nowhere felt safe. As the Herrscher of Thunder, there were undoubtedly many eyes watching her in the dark. Anyone she tried to contact might get exposed. Even Theresa would be risky. Unsafe. Extremely unsafe. Mei felt completely exposed. Seeing Mei's messages, Takumi let out a sigh. Well, no surprise she's anxious. If she contacted Goose, she'd probably get discovered right after. Shaking his head, Takumi figured it was better if he went instead. Takumi: [Make sure to check in daily.] [When the time comes, post a mission. Bronya and I will head over.] [Big Duck wants to see Little Duck.] [It'll be fine. Don't panic~!] Helping beautiful girls is always worth it. Also a great way to earn points. Points are essential for Takumi to visit more worlds and grow stronger. Seeing Takumi's response, Mei nodded. That was probably her best option. Reporting to Goose? No way. Letting Goose come over and beat Kiana up? Even if she said, "That might be your clone or little sister," Goose would still smack her. After watching the story unfold, she had no doubt Goose could beat the Herrscher of the Void. The illiterate Herrscher would be no match. Mei felt firm in her resolve now. No more ignorance! Mei: [Thanks in advance.] [Next, I'll study electromagnetism properly.] [That way, I can boost my strength too.] As for the Herrscher persona... that should be fine. Takumi: [Gotcha~!] [But you're going to study?] [My suggestion: just cram the knowledge directly.] [Mei's personal red packet] [Here, take it. It contains summaries of basic electromagnetism.] [Electrostatics, steady currents, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, resonance, waves, etc.] [Master all these and you'll be the strongest Herrscher yet~!] [Remember, the Herrscher of Thunder controls one of the four fundamental forces!] [Super strong.] All of the Herrschers from "Three Idiots" are illiterate. That's undeniable. Since Miss Mei wants to get stronger, Takumi will help her. Mei froze for a moment after seeing what Takumi sent... She'd originally planned to study hard. Now it's just handed to her? Emm... But she didn't refuse it. As for the bomb inside her—she'd need to deal with that. To suppress the Herrscher persona, Himeko and Theresa had planted a bomb in her. It was meant to prevent power rampage. She didn't need it anymore. Mei had already decided to accept that power. So she accepted Takumi's red packet. Raiden Mei: [Thank you!] [I'll repay you one day.] Sincerely grateful, she etched this favor in her heart. Takumi: [No worries. Just treat me to some instant noodles flavored like beautiful girls someday.] Takumi grinned at her thanks. Mei, on the other hand, was flustered. Raiden Mei: [Stop spouting nonsense! That kind of thing doesn't exist!!] As if it could! Takumi: [But it could if it's from you.] ... Now Mei was completely speechless. Bronya: [That's just weird...] Chika Fujiwara: [Strange fetish detected?] The chat group got lively again. Everyone started goofing off. Once it hit midnight, everyone did their daily check-in. Then they all went to sleep. Takumi: [Check-in complete. Another 80 points earned. Time for bed~!] Bronya: [38 points... Today's luck isn't so great. Frustrating!!] [Group member "Chika Fujiwara" has checked in successfully.] [Congratulations to "Chika Fujiwara" for obtaining: Balenciaga.] Chika Fujiwara: [What the heck?] [My first item drop and it's this??] She was baffled. What kind of nonsense was this? They gave her stockings? Seriously? Like she didn't already have plenty? She wanted points, not this nonsense! Everyone else got points. And her first item drop was this? Compare her with Takumi's first drop? She couldn't help but feel resentful. Takumi: [@Chika Fujiwara, next time, wear it for me!!] [Group Chat items should be top tier!!] Who wants to see it? +1!
