Although it was a gold coin, it wasn't actually made of gold.
After getting his hands on it, Takumi immediately began to analyze it. However, he quickly discovered that he could only analyze the surface layer. Deeper within, there were even more complex structures, involving the authorities and laws of the Twin Creator Goddesses. Replicating this would be extremely difficult.
Realizing this, Takumi frowned. This was something he couldn't access for the time being. If he wanted to analyze it thoroughly, it would require a lot of time—maybe an incredible amount. But if he could pull it off, the benefits would be enormous.
Thinking of that, Takumi's eyes sparkled. This was definitely something valuable; it deserved to be studied carefully.
Kudou Asuka:
[I'm not trying to make counterfeits.]
[I'm just really curious, Takumi. Can you copy it or not?]
She had no intention of forging anything. Asuka simply wanted to know whether Takumi could analyze and possibly replicate the coin—she was just curious.
Takumi:
[Not yet. It's a bit tricky!]
[It'll take some time.]
[You got this gold coin—does that mean you met shiroyasha?]
[Kudou Asuka's exclusive red envelope]
Seeing Asuka's message, Takumi replied right away. As for the gold coin in his hand, he kept it—of course, not for free. He sent Asuka a red envelope in return: a vial of superpower awakening serum.
Asuka accepted Takumi's gift without much thought and answered his question.
Kudou Asuka:
[I've met her already.]
[The Gift is just like what you sent me.]
[But it seems the chat group hasn't been detected.]
Asuka told Takumi about her meeting with shiroyasha, still puzzled as she inspected the serum in her hand.
A superpower serum?
Seeing this, Asuka's eyes immediately brightened. Would this work for her too? With that in mind, she took the serum and injected it right into her arm.
"What's that?"
Kasukabe Yō was puzzled seeing Asuka take out the serum.
"It's a superpower awakening serum. A big shot gave it to me."
Asuka answered casually, pushing the serum into her arm.
Kasukabe Yō was stunned. A big shot? Where? She didn't see anyone.
Seeing Yō's bewildered look, Asuka paused to ask in the group chat:
Kudou Asuka:
[Can I talk about the chat group with outsiders?]
She wasn't sure about that.
Fujiwara Chika:
[It doesn't matter.]
Takumi:
[Say whatever you want. By the way, Little Garden didn't detect the chat group at all? That's pretty impressive.]
Takumi was surprised—Little Garden's systems couldn't detect the chat group at all. That proved just how advanced this thing was.
Seeing the responses, Asuka turned to Yō and explained,
"I joined a group chat. There are people from other worlds in it. That serum I got just now came from one of them."
As she spoke, Asuka displayed the chat group interface.
Yō was amazed. Other worlds… It actually made sense.
"So it's like having an interdimensional network, right?"
Asuka nodded. "Exactly."
Then she focused on her own body for a moment. "My superpower has awakened. It's a psychic ability."
She was surprised by how her mental strength suddenly increased, letting her influence other people's minds. Was this some kind of illusion or mind control? That was really unexpected.
"Amazing."
"There are people calling for you in the group."
Kasukabe Yō watched for a bit, then reminded Asuka—people were talking to her.
Turning her attention back to the chat group, Asuka replied quickly.
Takumi:
[Not sure if the superpower serum will work for you, but it should, right? After all, your Gift isn't technically a superpower. If it doesn't work, maybe your Gift really is just another type of superpower.]
Seeing this, Asuka hurried to respond:
Kudou Asuka:
[I've already used it. It's a psychic-type superpower, and it works great!]
[It pairs perfectly with my Gift, making it even stronger.]
She was quite satisfied—the psychic ability synergized with her Radiance Gift.
"Superpower…"
"That serum—can it be mass produced?"
Kasukabe Yō was very curious if this was something they could get more of.
"Yes! It can be mass produced. It's a specialty from their world. Oh, if we need to buy something, maybe we can get it from people in other worlds?"
Thinking of that, Asuka's eyes lit up. Their Nameless Community was still having a tough time. But now, with the group chat, they could import all sorts of things from other worlds. That could really help.
They'd already solved their water shortage thanks to Izayoi, but the food situation was still a problem.
"I think I overheard something incredible just now?"
Izayoi had just walked in, catching the tail end of their conversation. Other worlds? That piqued his interest immediately.
"So you heard everything, huh?"
"Whatever, it's not a big deal. I have a way to contact other worlds, and we can buy things from them. If you have any ideas, let's hear them."
Even though Izayoi acted like a reckless brute, he was actually very clever. Since he was interested, Asuka decided to let him contribute his ideas.
"Tell me!"
Izayoi sat down, eager to hear more.
Seeing that, Asuka simply pulled up the group chat's shop interface.
"Take a look for yourself. You can use the group's points to buy anything here. You can even use them to power up or heal yourself. The points are the group chat's currency—earned through daily sign-ins or completing missions. If you want anything else, you can trade for it with the other group members."
She showed him everything in the group's shop.
"Buy an invitation! Invite us in!"
"If anyone in the group has spare points, let's trade some of our stuff for them."
Izayoi glanced at the shop and immediately decided. The invitation was the most important thing. Only by joining the group could they maximize their benefits!
