Chapter 225: Mobius: Are You Looking Down on Me?

After handing over the blood to Takumi, Asuka Kudou immediately began purchasing the invitation tickets.

[Group member 'Asuka Kudou' has invited 'Izayoi Sakamaki' into the group chat.] [Group member 'Asuka Kudou' has invited 'You Kasukabe' into the group chat.] [Group member 'Asuka Kudou' has invited 'Black Rabbit' into the group chat.]

[Izayoi Sakamaki's exclusive red envelope]

Right after the blood was sent, several notifications popped up in the chat group.

Inside his room, Izayoi's face lit up as he saw the screen pop up in front of him.

Fujiwara Chika: [Welcome, newcomer!]

akeno: [Welcome, newcomer!]

Zhongli: [Welcome, newcomer!]

Everyone came out to welcome the new members joining the chat group~ A whole bunch of new faces had just entered the group chat—

Izayoi Sakamaki: [Yo, hey everyone!]

You Kasukabe: [Hello everyone, I'm You Kasukabe!]

Black Rabbit: [Izayoi?! You're here too?! (ΩДΩ)]

Black Rabbit, who was outside, looked at the sudden appearance of the group chat and was stunned.

After sorting through the knowledge in her mind, Black Rabbit's face was blank with confusion.

A chat group that connects to other worlds? Shocking!

But why were Izayoi and the others also in it?

Asuka Kudou: [Are you blind?] [Didn't you see I was the one who invited you in?] [Had I known, I would've spent the 1000 points inviting Shiroyasha instead.]

Seeing the dumb rabbit's message, Asuka was speechless.

Black Rabbit: [...] [I see it now!!] [Izayoi sold his blood for this?!]

She not only saw it but had also read the chat history with Takumi. The points were clearly obtained by Izayoi selling his blood.

Asuka Kudou: [If you want to know more, read the group files yourself!]

Too lazy to explain, Asuka told that dumb rabbit to check the group files instead.

Izayoi Sakamaki: [@Takumi, bro, tell me—why did you want my blood?]

After checking in to the group, Izayoi asked his question directly. He wasn't in a rush to strengthen himself.

Now that Black Rabbit had joined the group, he could just have her do the daily check-ins and buy food from others. After all, she had no use for points.

Yes, that was the plan.

Seeing this, You Kasukabe and Black Rabbit were naturally curious too. Why did Takumi want Izayoi's blood?

Takumi: [You have a nano perpetual motion machine inside your body. Your power comes from it.] [Specifically, yours is the original prototype.] [I want your blood so I can replicate the perpetual motion machine inside it.]

The perpetual motion machine inside Izayoi was the original. It was the very first one ever made, which gave it a special significance.

All the ones made afterward were just copies. Even the third perpetual motion machine created by Homura Saigo later only approached the original but never matched it.

Izayoi Sakamaki: [Third perpetual motion machine?] [What the hell!!] [I got scammed!!]

Upon learning this, Izayoi's immediate reaction was: He'd been swindled.

Was this really something that could be bought with just 5000 points? No wonder Takumi had so readily agreed to pay extra.

Izayoi slapped his thigh so hard it went numb.

Black Rabbit and You Kasukabe were also stunned. A perpetual motion machine? That was truly incredible.

Takumi: [In short, it's complicated.] [Check the group files yourself.] [I'm heading off to do some research.] [And later, I have to drop by Star Rail.]

As soon as Takumi sent the message, Herta appeared.

Herta: [Hurry over. I can't wait to meet you.]

Herta had been lurking in silence all this time. When she saw Takumi asking for Izayoi's blood, she got excited.

A perpetual motion machine! That was no small thing! With Takumi's abilities, replicating it should be no problem.

Now, Herta was eager to meet Takumi. She wanted to study him.

Takumi: [Emm...] [Suddenly, I don't feel like going anymore.]

Seeing Herta's message, Takumi was speechless. Suddenly, he just didn't feel like going anymore. What now?

Herta: [No! You have to come!!] [If you do, I'll give you any knowledge you want!!]

Not going? That wasn't an option. No matter what, Takumi had to come. Whatever Takumi wanted, she was willing to give.

Seeing this, Takumi just shrugged. He couldn't be bothered to deal with Herta anymore. He closed the group chat and picked up Izayoi's blood to begin his research.

Meanwhile, Izayoi and the others started reading the group files. Under Asuka's guidance, they began watching Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?

With nothing better to do, Asuka started strengthening herself. She'd earned 1000 points for free—nice! Time to go for an upgrade.

With that thought, Asuka used her first round of strengthening.

As the strengthening took effect, Asuka felt better than ever. Even her Gift had grown stronger.

Gradually, Asuka became fully immersed in it. Her mind began to fill with all sorts of ways to use her Gift.

Izayoi glanced at Asuka. He said nothing and continued to focus on watching Problem Children. Wasn't this an anime…?

...

Takumi no longer paid attention to the group messages. He was fully focused on using his Authority to analyze Izayoi's blood.

The nano perpetual motion machine within the blood began to reveal itself before him.

At the same time, Takumi used the Authority of the Herrscher of Corruption to seize control over the machine. Then, the analysis began.

Gradually, the secrets of the third perpetual motion machine unfolded before Takumi.

...

Organizing the results of his analysis, Takumi's eyes grew increasingly bright. He decisively uploaded the data to the server on the moon.

Then, he issued a command to Prometheus:

"Tell Vilvie and Dr. Mei to begin full-scale research on the perpetual motion machine." "Make sure they fully understand it and put it to use."

With a perpetual motion machine, his civilization would sprout wings!

Upon hearing Takumi's instructions, Prometheus immediately began taking action.

Dr. Mei and Vilvie received Prometheus' message right away.

When they saw the data she displayed, Both of them were stunned. Their eyes widened.

"A perpetual motion machine?!"

Vilvie and Dr. Mei cried out in shock.

This... this!! They were completely unsettled.

After all, the perpetual motion machine had always been the ultimate goal of humanity. And now—it had been realized?

Was the law of conservation of energy no longer valid? Was physics collapsing?

At that moment, the two top-tier scientists were completely dumbfounded. But soon, they were deeply immersed in the data.

When Mobius heard the news, she was equally bewildered. She immediately questioned Prometheus:

"Why didn't you give it to me?"

Prometheus, without hesitation, replied:

"Dr. Mobius, you're not specialized in this field of research."

That response instantly made Mobius unhappy.

"Nonsense!" "I am very good at it!!"

Good grief, what did he mean she wasn't skilled in that field? Was this… was this looking down on her, the great Mobius?!
