Bronya stared at Takumi's message, her mind filled with disbelief.
Extracting other people's strengths to supplement his own? Takumi could do that now?
Raiden Mei: [Isn't that like Supergene Surgery~?] [You can really do that?]
Supergene Surgery was a technology that fused human genes with those of Honkai Beasts. Now Takumi was acquiring excellent genes from others and merging them into himself—wasn't that basically the same?
But could it really be done?
Takumi: [Used the Herrscher of Death and Life's Authority. Easily changed my own genes.] [So there's nothing to be surprised about.]
His words left everyone speechless.
Bronya: [So jealous~!!] [Whether it's Supergene Surgery or Herrscher Authority, they're all too enviable.]
So the Herrscher of Death and Life's Authority could be used like this? That was truly eye-opening.
Wasn't the Herrscher of Death and Life in Bronya's world Seele?
Could she eventually do something like Takumi?
Takumi: [Want it? Come to my room, I'll do the surgery for you!]
Fujiwara Chika: [→_→]
Sagiri: [→_→]
Akeno: [Ara ara~! You're not even trying to hide it?]
Miori Shiba: [I agree!] [Let Takumi do a surgery for you. One shot and you'll get stronger.]
Bronya: [(???)] [Get lost!!]
Even from afar she could hear their little schemes. That person!!
In her room, Bronya's face turned red. Shameless!!
And Miori too—what the hell was that!
Houraisan Kaguya: [Me me me me!!] [Give me 2,000 points and I'll be there in no time!]
But what shocked everyone most was what she said next.
When they saw Kaguya's message, the group was stunned.
Girl, do you even understand what Takumi meant?
Fujiwara Chika: [Do you know what you're saying?]
Yuuki Asuna: [Miss Kaguya, please don't mess around.]
Takumi: [Here to scam me? Blocked~!] [No patience for people who've lost all sense of shame!]
Tsk. So unlucky! Why'd this girl show up?
Though Kaguya was great, Takumi couldn't help but feel put off. Maybe she was just too shameless?
Houraisan Kaguya: [[○?`Д′?○]] [As if! I should be the one disgusted by you!!] [You really dare to look down on me, huh?]
Takumi: [100 points. Give me a bit of your blood and flesh.]
Houraisan Kaguya: [Takumi's Exclusive Red Packet] [Is one finger enough?]
Takumi: [Houraisan Kaguya's Exclusive Red Packet] [It's enough!]
Takumi made Kaguya perform the ultimate face-turn in seconds.
Everyone in the group saw their exchange and was left speechless.
Seriously, what kind of terrifying trade was that?
And just like that, it was settled?
At this point, the group genuinely had no idea how to respond.
And they began to understand why Takumi found Kaguya annoying.
That wild woman!!
Fujiwara Chika: [You sold your finger for 100 points?]
Coming from a normal world, Chika was utterly shocked.
Just sold herself like that?
Houraisan Kaguya: [What's the big deal?] [You want one too? I can snap one off right now for you to play with.] [It'll grow back in an instant anyway.] [After being enhanced, it's even faster.]
One finger broken?
A new one grew in less than a second.
That's basically nothing.
Fujiwara Chika: [No thanks!]
Good grief, can't deal with this, seriously can't!
Are you two seriously okay in the head?
You: [Check-in complete. Going to sleep!]
Saten Ruiko: [Goodnight!]
Ais: [Check-in successful. Goodnight.]
Everyone ignored those two after that.
You reminded everyone it was time to check in.
Takumi glanced over and casually checked in.
[Group Member 'Takumi' has successfully checked in.] [Congratulations! Member 'Takumi' has obtained: Infinite Martial Cultivation.]
Fujiwara Chika: [???] [You again??]
Sagiri: [Share your cheat with me!!]
Miori Shiba: [Turn it off already!!]
Zhongli: [A bit outrageous, really.]
Suoh Mikoto: [This is what I see the moment I join the group?]
Suoh had just joined and checked in when he saw Takumi's prize.
But right after his message came in:
[Group Member 'Bronya' has successfully checked in.] [Congratulations! Member 'Bronya' has obtained: Multi-Unit Armament 0019.]
Another person got an item!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Was the chat group handing out cheat codes now?
... Please give flowers ...
But after that, no one else received any items.
Takumi: [@Bronya, open the door! Let me see that weapon!]
Takumi's eyes lit up at Bronya's prize.
That's the Silverwing set, right?
Multi-Unit Armament 0019—wasn't that Heavy Bunny 0019?
In other words, Bronya just evolved into her complete form?
Bronya: [Logging off!]
Bronya didn't want to talk to you and even gave you a side-eye.
Still, she was pretty happy.
She didn't expect to actually receive that set of equipment.
Guess she was lucky after all.
Fujiwara Chika: [AHHHH!!! (Groundhog scream)] [Why do I always get weird stuff while you guys get all the useful things?]
Chika was not okay.
What did she get?
White stockings, thigh-highs??
Self-repairing white thigh-highs?
But Takumi and the others...
Especially Takumi.
Two times in a row he got amazing stuff?
Infinite Martial Cultivation—wasn't that from the Type-Moon world?
Instantly maxed out his martial arts?
He got stronger AGAIN?
Kato Megumi: [Been in the group this whole time and never got an item from check-in!]
Sagiri: [Been in the group this whole time and never got an item from check-in!]
Miori Shiba: [Been in the group this whole time and never got an item from check-in!]
Now that you say that, we're really not okay.
They hadn't gotten anything either!
At least Chika had gotten something.
Takumi: [Want cheats? I'm selling!] [One copy!]
Fujiwara Chika: [Shriek!!]
Sell your ass!
Chika didn't want to speak anymore.
She pulled the covers over herself and went to sleep.
Everyone was envious, but hey, it's all luck.
You can't blame anyone for a bad draw.
As everyone finished checking in, they began logging off one by one.
Takumi couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
He glanced at the item he drew and immediately chose to use it.
After gaining the ability, Takumi felt a deeper understanding of all the sword techniques he had mastered.
"Not bad at all!"
After a brief sense-check, Takumi was quite pleased.
It was free, after all—who wouldn't like that?
While it didn't drastically boost his power, it was still a nice upgrade.
