Chapter 187: Yes, It’s an Apocalypse Warning!

The first mission was considered a complete success.

Once the two worlds fully merged, a flurry of messages rang out in the group chat:

[Congratulations to group members Takumi, Zhongli, Fujiwara Chika, Kato Megumi, Yuuki Asuna, Yuu, Akeno, Bronya, and Miori Shiba for completing the mission.]

[Group member 'Takumi' has received: 60,000 points.] [Group member 'Miori Shiba' has received: 10,000 points.] [Group member 'Zhongli' has received: 10,000 points.] [Group member 'Akeno' has received: 9,000 points.] [Group member 'Bronya' has received: 3,000 points.] [Group member 'Yuu' has received: 2,000 points.] [Group member 'Saten Ruiko' has received: 1,500 points.] [Group member 'Fujiwara Chika' has received: 1,500 points.] [Group member 'Yuuki Asuna' has received: 1,000 points.] [Group member 'Kato Megumi' has received: 1,000 points.] [Group member 'Nakiri Alice' has received: 1,000 points.] [Group member 'Takumi' has received: Permanent World Gate.]

One message after another flooded the chat.

Reading these, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

Takumi: [@Yuu, slacking again, huh? You barely did anything, right?]

Yuu didn't even deny it.

Indeed, she had come to loaf around. Though she had taken out a few Gourmet Beasts, she hardly put in any real effort.

Takumi's drone army had basically taken care of everything.

Houraisan Kaguya: [@Takumi, !!!] [Damn, time for revenge!!] [Takumi-nii, look at your poor little sister!!]

Himeko: [Congrats, congrats!]

Suoh Mikoto: [Those point rewards are insane.] [A guaranteed thousand points, huh?]

Boros: [If I knew it'd be like this, I would've gone too!!]

Ais: [So jealous!!]

Those who hadn't joined were filled with regret.

Especially Kaguya. Her resentment toward Yukari Yakumo deepened.

She had missed out on literal millions!!

Takumi: [Look, I don't need your attention. I've got plenty of points.] [@Raiden Mei, @Bronya, @Fujiwara Chika.]

Bronya: [Takumi's exclusive red packet.] [Here—take it. Points for enhancing Heavy Bunny!]

Bronya didn't even bother replying. She just sent over all her points to Takumi.

Similarly, after receiving her points, Saten Ruiko gave hers back to Kato Megumi, who then forwarded them to Takumi to buy an awakening potion.

Asuna and Alice did the same.

Takumi had helped them immensely this time around.

After everything circled around, Takumi's points had surpassed 70,000.

Zhongli: [@Takumi, what exactly is the Permanent World Gate? Is it what you imagined?]

He was very curious.

Could it really create a stable passage to another world at any time?

To him, the Gourmet World was a great resource.

If true, then moving Liyue over might need to be considered.

It could revolutionize their own world.

Takumi, not hiding anything, posted a screenshot in the chat:

[Permanent World Gate] Description: A gate permanently linking two worlds. Can be placed anywhere. Note: Once placed, it cannot be moved or destroyed.

Takumi: [Now Alice can come to my house every day!!]

Houraisan Kaguya: [Holy hell!!] [So that means your world and Alice's world are permanently linked now?] [That's just too good!!]

Kaguya was visibly envious.

An entire world's resources—how could anyone not be jealous?

Everyone else was, too.

Sagiri: [That means I can finally eat food from Alice's world!!]

Having migrated to Takumi's world, Sagiri was thrilled.

The more worlds his realm connected to, the better.

Zhongli: [Excellent. Then I'll arrange a visit to your world soon.]

After seeing the description, he decided to visit before returning to his own world.

Saved himself some points, too.

Takumi: [I'll place it near the IGO headquarters. One Dragon will help guard it.] [That's basically Alice's front yard.]

Nakiri Alice: [I 100% approve!!]

What? It would be placed in front of her house?

That was more than acceptable.

She had no reason to refuse.

Now she could just go to school at Takumi's place.

Bronya: [Wait for me!]

Saten Ruiko: [Sob sob, I really want to go too, but I have to head back now.]

Only Ruiko had to return.

If she didn't, people might start to worry.

Might even be listed as missing.

Takumi: [Go ahead and head back. Come again when you have more points.] [Don't get hauled in for questioning, okay?]

Seeing her message, Takumi chuckled.

Saten Ruiko: [Alright, I'm going now!] [If I get called in, I'll spill everything!!]

She had already decided.

If she got called in for questioning, she'd just tell them everything about the chat group.

Maybe Aleister would even come to rely on her.

The chat group had no rule against sharing information.

Even if others found out, so what?

It was bound to her alone.

And with a powerhouse like Takumi in the group, they weren't worried.

If any member ran into trouble, others could come help thanks to shared coordinates.

So it really wasn't a big issue.

Fujiwara Chika: [Yes! Apocalypse warning!!] [Let Takumi go collect everyone from that world, leave it as an empty shell, and let them fend for themselves!!]

She totally supported Ruiko.

If Aleister did anything shady, then let Takumi just relocate the whole population.

Takumi, the interdimensional human trafficker, would be more than happy.

He'd boost his world's population and knowledge base.

A win-win situation.

Reading the conversation between those two, Takumi was speechless.

But he didn't deny it either.

Yeah, that was exactly what he was planning.

Takumi: [If your life's in danger, I'll come rescue you. No big deal!] [And maybe steal those 100,000 spicy manga volumes while I'm at it!]

Takumi was already getting excited.

He'd power up a bit more soon.

At this point, with all his points, he feared nothing.

Even heading to the Toaru world wouldn't scare him now.
