Chapter 16: The Deterrence of a Six-Trillion-Yuan Billionairess

Watching the screen before him slowly fade away, Hermes felt his mood lift.

Although his innate talent was still slowly rising due to the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence ability, he was still far from a qualitative breakthrough.

In other words, Black Tower and the others were essentially on the same level now.

Recruiting one was a huge profit; recruiting two was a bloodbath of profit!

“Lord Hermes, is this Black Tower figure particularly special?”

Buel snapped out of his work state, noticing how his demeanor had clearly changed since the communication began.

“Buel, since Itachi don’t understand the meaning of the Genius Club, it’s natural Itachi’d be confused.”

Hermes explained to her with a pleasant mood.

“Zendal the First, Kuwahara, the legendary creator of the Wisdom Star God.”

“The Silent Lord Polka Kakamo, who created the Omniscient Domain, governed the chain of causality, and could manipulate all probabilistic events.”

“Lier Ta, who established the universal cosmic laws and the Nine-Character Algorithm, and propelled galactic scientific advancement.”

“Rupert, who forged the Anti-Organic Equation and ignited the intergalactic AI war.”

…

“Each one of them sounds utterly insane!”

Buel’s small body widened her eyes in shock, making her look even cuter.

Buel silently calculated in her mind: if she were at her peak, how far could she have gone?

With the aid of the World Tree and her authority, she could acquire countless pieces of knowledge in an extremely short time, barely bringing her scholarly expertise up to par with these geniuses.

But she would likely never truly catch up to someone like Lord Hermes…

Within this short time, even the Great Wisdom Master of Xumi Shanfa had to admit: these geniuses were born solely to crush mortals.

They were like black holes of knowledge, changing from one second to the next.

Itachi might accumulate knowledge rapidly through external means, but when Itachi finally clash with such a person, Itachi’ll find they absorb your strengths in the fastest possible time, integrate them seamlessly, and ultimately surpass Itachi!

Even Buel, whose wisdom surpassed mortals, grasped this deeply in a short time!

Smiling, Hermes pinched Buel’s cheeks, ignoring the faint redness on her pointed ears as she protested, then turned to open the chat group screen.

Paper Angel: “Today, the Hidden Rain Village sent envoys to negotiate. Alert·jpg”

Paper Angel: “This time, I’ll make sure Samui Hanzo pays!”

Paper Angel: “A sky full of Five Thunder Talismans·jpg.”

Crossover Big Female Lead: “No wonder the six-trillion-yuan explosive-talisman billionaire— if she ever got six trillion Five Thunder Talismans, wouldn’t she blow up the entire ninja world?”

Imagining the deterrent power of the six-trillion-yuan billionaire, even Luo Qianqiu was stunned.

Now that he thought about it, with sufficient knowledge, even the Rinnegan would pale before this billionaire.

Master of Huashan: “Should talismans really be drawn like this?”

Ning Qingyu stared at the sky filled with flying Five Thunder Talismans, his heart shaken.

Though Huashan Sect primarily focused on martial arts, it ultimately inherited the Quanzhen tradition.

As a wuxia world with internal energy, talismans here were weak—even a Fireball Talisman couldn’t be thrown—but some talismans for calming the mind, stabilizing the home, etc., still existed, albeit with very modest effects…

So he had some knowledge of drawing talismans: each time, even if he didn’t bathe and change clothes or set up an altar for ritual, he still needed to calm his mind and focus, right?

Crossover Big Female Lead: “While honest people painstakingly draw every stroke, those with cheats have already abandoned conventional methods.”

Crossover Big Female Lead: “I heard that in one world, a disciple of Maoshan Sect invented a method to draw talismans mid-air—his talismans fired like machine guns, equally insane!”

Ning Qingyu didn’t understand, but was profoundly shocked.

Star Sea Traveler: “What right does this ninja world have to withstand six trillion Five Thunder Talismans exploding at once?”

One Five Thunder Talisman had the power of a small missile—what would six trillion exploding simultaneously mean?

Kage felt she could even challenge Tianli now.

God Chef: “By the way, have any of Itachi tried the gacha lately?”

Needless to say, in the chat group, Floze was unquestionably a billionaire.

As long as she acquired ingredients, her culinary skills could transform them into cuisine far exceeding their original value—that was the added value of skill.

Crossover Big Female Lead: “I got an SSR on my first pull, but I believe luck is conserved, so I saved my points, waiting for a lucky day.”

Luo Qianqiu’s eyes shimmered with dancing phoenixes, her gaze toward the sky filled with eager anticipation.

After consuming the Dusk Ancient Beast version of the Phoenix Fruit, her power surged rapidly, so she temporarily slowed her pursuit of strength.

Master of Huashan: “I don’t want to draw another Kuihua Manual again. Helpless·jpg”

Star Sea Traveler: “I’ve collected a lot of strange things these days and exchanged them for points, but haven’t started pulling yet.”

Kage, who understood metaphysical theory, had hired a celestial immortal to calculate an auspicious day and learned a ritual to reverse fate, aiming to sneak into the European region.

History’s Most Evil Criminal: “I’ve exchanged quite a few points too, but mostly through direct trades rather than gacha.”

Dragon was the leader of the revolutionaries; he instinctively rejected luck-based methods, and besides, his past gacha experience still left him with psychological scars…

The Wisdom of Exploration: “@Champion of Sinnoh, the Magnemite gave me greater inspiration than expected, so I upgraded the item.”

The Wisdom of Exploration: “Red envelope·jpg”

Sheyla claimed the red envelope, and upon seeing the chat group’s appraisal of it, her eyes lit up.

【Item: Waveguide Converter】

【A miraculous device that converts other forms of energy into waveguides.】

【Note: This converter possesses super-intelligence, automatically detecting energy conditions and continuously improving conversion efficiency— theoretically reaching up to ninety percent!】

Fundamentally, waveguide power originates from living beings. Though miraculous, it cannot absorb external energy to grow stronger, nor can it be refined like psychic abilities through meditation.

The strength of waveguide power depends partly on the wielder’s innate talent, and partly on training to strengthen one’s will and break through limits.

But both methods have a ceiling!

With this Waveguide Converter, Sheyla will grow stronger at the fastest possible speed.
