Chapter 307

"So. Are you satisfied?"

Uranus asked in a low voice while eating an orange.

"Hm? Yes, I am. It's very interesting."

"...... I didn't say that to make fun of you.

Are you certain this is true?"

"Yes......"

"In any case, you are plotting something bad.

Are you trying to enter and steal items without permission from the outside?"

Ingredients....... I also wanted to a little. When I couldn't enter the island through conventional methods...... not to steal, but just to enter.

"Hm. If you don't go that far, you can't confirm if it's real, right? I think stealing is definitely going too far......

I even took it out and gave it to the Game Master. Isn't this harvest more than enough?"

"But you wasted a lot of time, didn't you?"

"Uh...... yes. Well.

After that, I was very serious about trying to clear the game."

I see...... I have no choice but to give up. If you don't follow the rules, you never know what you will face. It's no surprise he was killed.

"Ah, but.

Perhaps Aisha could do it?"

Meleoron asked me. Yes? What?

"...... I thought the same thing while I was speaking.

Aisha's Boss Attribute can disable Movement Spells, right? What does that mean—"

"Ah!

Indeed, even if Aisha enters from the outside, she might not necessarily be kicked out!"

Giggling. I heard this story before and thought it was dangerous, but I came anyway.

Meleoron looked at me with a look of disgust,

"Even if you don't clear the game, you can still get quite a few items, right?

Shouldn't I try it?"

"I won't do such bad things."

"Really?"

This pervert is stubborn. What will you do when the Devil attacks you? I shook my body,

"Tremble tremble. I'm not a bad Aisha, you know?"

Uranus and Seam let out a "Pfft." Do you all know the source Material? I forgot what that was.

Uranus suppressed his laughter,

"Aisha.

I'm quite certain you received the Save Data from the creator Ging, right?

Does this have anything to do with what we were saying?"

"......"

Did you notice.... I would eventually talk about it myself, but I don't think Uranus is any closer to the core. Sorry.

"...... I talked to Ging.

Perhaps the Eliminate Spell doesn't work on me."

"As expected......

So you fell for it? Don't do such dishonest things."

What are you saying now?

Can I talk to other players about the staff account? I wasn't told not to talk, but I don't think I want you to talk either. Still, it's hard to stay quiet.

"...... If I enter the island illegally, I tried to take items outside.

They would try to force me out.

I can't afford to lose a fight, and even if I won......"

As I fumbled my words, Uranus looked at me with a calm expression,

"This game might end.

At least if the Game Master dies, the game seems to stop. If he disappears, the Razor I encountered would be dangerous."

"Is that so......

So I have no intention of cheating for personal reasons.

In relation to that, I have specially processed my Save Data so that I am not forced to cheat when entering or leaving the island."

Meleoron and Seam rolled their eyes. Uranus tilted his head slightly,

"Since you didn't say what data you received from Ging, I thought you were keeping it a secret, but......

Can you tell us?"

"...... I wasn't told to keep it secret.

It's too long to talk about everything, so I'll be brief.

When I leave the island, I can't Escape from the port because the movement effect is invalidated by the Boss Attribute, even for 'Leave' or from the port. I am.

Likewise, we made it so the way to enter Greed Island isn't invalidated by the Boss Attribute. I can travel from anywhere in the real world to the Perilla Tree on Greed Island."

The three people in front of me exclaimed, "Whoa."

That's right... after all, this is a very special treatment.

"However, regarding the Save Data I am currently using.

If you use other save data, you will not be able to obtain this benefit.

The save data I am using now seems to be treated as an employee account."

Uranus nodded.

"I was just talking to Shalnark about something similar.

Doing this is good. If you have no trouble entering and exiting, then a fairly large problem disappears."

"That is correct.

If entering and exiting is difficult, it will have a negative impact on your game strategy.

In the event that my comrades come to interfere, I am considering leaving the game alone until the problem is resolved."

"Ah, it's that time again.

By the way, the Movement Spell is ineffective, and there is nothing you can do about it, right?"

"..."

"Under the current circumstances. Even an employee account doesn't handle that much."

"I see.

Then you should go sightseeing while you can easily move around."

What is it? If my Aura revives, the dilemma of the Movement Spell being ineffective will arise. If only Leorio were here... but Leorio really doesn't want me to change my gender to become a man. They won't cooperate... I'm sad. Puru-puru.

As Meleoron reached out to grab a second orange,

"Come to think of it, you said you judge authenticity from the banknotes.

Is it the serial number? How do you judge whether a banknote is a Forgery through that number?"

Uranus showed a bit of thought,

"No. It's almost impossible."

"What?

Then how do you know this is a banknote in circulation?

If that number is duplicated, you can say it's a fake banknote, right?"

"Is that Hard?

Because I cannot confirm where the serial number tag is.

Regardless of whether it is deposited into a bank, how do you judge whether banknotes in circulation have Heavy numbers?"

Hmm... is that so? Even if there are 10 or 20 banknotes with the same number in circulation, it is almost impossible for more than two banknotes to gather in one place. In the end, I would come to the bank. At the very least, it is unreasonable for Uranus to use it for impromptu research.

"Yes, it is to remember in advance the number of banknotes related to crimes such as ransom.

Of course, its purpose is to stop counterfeit currency.

Generally speaking, even if there are two banknotes with the same number, one of them might be a real banknote. Then how do you know?"

Cormorant. I can't do anything with just one number, that.

"No, I understand that.

Then how do you decide?"

"The serial number tells us the issuance time of the banknote.

Furthermore, due to the advancement of anti-counterfeiting technology, manufacturing methods change frequently, so you can narrow down the range of when it was printed.

Since the banknote itself is fragile, they can be judged by the degree of deterioration over time.

... The amount of information on a banknote is amazing, right? If you want to know if a banknote is really in circulation, you can look it up. It's not just a serial number; it's complex information.

So I brought about 1,000,000 Jenny banknotes back to reality and checked them all.

Well, I went to the bank, called it a criminal investigation, and used my Hunter License."

I see.... Do you want to go that far?

"Ha... that's amazing.

You used to be a militant person, a rough person."

"... What is it?"

Uranus muttered and took a sip of tea.... No, it might be just as Meleoron said.

"I know you were active before.

My body is weak now, so I shouldn't go crazy because of the same feeling."

"Uh..."

I knew it. No wonder, sometimes I do things that aren't worth my physical strength.

While sewing and shaking a mysterious face,

"But this game has a lot of money, right?

How did you get so much?"

"Hmm? It's you.

Hmm... come to think of it, how much was this game originally?"

"Initial sale? The list price was 5.8 billion Jenny.

By the way, it seems this was just a one-time cash payment."

Phew.... Just a cash payment. What kind of sales are you doing?

"Uh, do you like buying that kind of thing?"

"What do you think?"

"However, although it is limited to 100, it seems there are over 20,000 applications to purchase?"

"Teeth?... No, I think that was just spitting on a Stone."

"I mean, 5.8 billion in cash? That's 20,000. Isn't that already the scale of a national budget?"

"Hmm, I know it's remarkable."

"The point is, isn't this cash supposed to be used as game currency? I think—"

"Hmm. I don't understand what Meleoron is saying. But what is the actual situation?"

"Well, how about it?"

"Frankly speaking, you know how big the Greed Island economy is, right? And, the foundation is based on Exchange with cards, it's unlikely to be released as cards."

"Only players can transfer money, so even counting all the banknotes and coins, a few hundred million should be enough, let alone 5.8 billion."

"Either way, it's more time-consuming."

"Time?"

"Because it's possible to turn into items that yield profit, we always have to ensure there is at least one circulating card and shop deposit."

"To put it bluntly, if you exchange 1 million Jenny for 10 Jenny Coins and earn a lot of money, you could obtain 100,000 Ging. It's easy to commit Harassment."

"You can't be fully prepared for that, right?"

"I see. There is no limit to the number of currency cards you can use, and if you want, you can do that."

Hearing this, Meleoron looked troubled.

"Well..."

"It's as if to make a game like this, didn't you do something with your Nen Ability?"

"This is certainly a Nen Ability, but somehow, I have to think about this part specifically."

"Furthermore, we also have to manage the distribution of goods, and if we do it well, it will definitely go bankrupt."

Hmm, so that's how it is.... How are you? Alluka seems to know.

For a moment my sister said, "Hmm?", but there was no sign of any answer.

"Do you want me to expose the seed?"

"It's not difficult. Book."

Alluka took out a Binder and pulled a card from the open page.

Regardless of whether it was targeted, the card he showed was "Happiness Passbook".

"What about Greed Island cards?"

"It's not like I'm restricting items or transforming into items."

"When it turns into a card or a yield, it just 'moves' the item."

"Hmm, this guy is a fake."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

... Ah. I see! Is that the logic? I certainly couldn't explain it.

"May I explain?"

"Yes, okay."

"Is this what you mean?"

"After obtaining an item, just change the position of the item and the card to turn it into a card."

"When you obtain a card, it turns into an item, so just move the card and the item and Exchange them, right?"

"Jesus, that's right."

"Even if you enter Greed Island, if you expose your race, you would move, right? Same logic."

"The places where cards and items are located both become markers, and they just exchanged their positions using the Nen Ability written on the card."

"Greed Island is basically managed by this excellent movement ability."

"If you think about it this way, it's easy to explain how things are distributed in the game."

Simu nodded in admiration. But Meleoron tilted his head.

"Hmm? But."

"In this game, you can make cards with these Stones, right?"

"Before that, did you prepare all the cards and put them somewhere?"

Cormorant? Hmm, what is this about? In this case..."

When I turned my head to seek help, Alluka had a thoughtful face.

"I am not the creator, so I cannot be certain that this is the reason..."

"Can you tell me if this is a Prediction?"

"Perhaps it is pre-registered in the game system. Try to treat the things on this island as game props."

"When a player obtains such an item, I think it is a mechanism that embodies a set card with a Nen Ability."

"The item that turns into a card is thrown into a dedicated warehouse somewhere."

"Hmm, Aisa's explanation might be correct, and my Prediction just now might be correct. Both might be different, or both can be used appropriately."

"I cannot confirm that far."

Certainly... isn't it just a guess?

"Anyway, this Greed Island is definitely a special territory."

"Therefore, things like supplies are directly transferred and purchased from the outside. Throwing trash to the outside. You shouldn't go back and forth on things inside and outside the island."

"I can assure you, but someone must cooperate with the actions outside the game."

"Is that so..."

The Game Master does not necessarily stay in the game all the time.

Jin is in direct contact with me from the outside.... Regarding the competition."

"That is correct.

This world interacts with the outside world more than I imagined, and it is being managed and administered."

Meleoron sighed, "Hmm...".

"Somehow, I understand...

You have done a lot of work behind the scenes to make this game a success."

"Excellently. M.

By the way, the reason why drinks and food that have turned into cards become lukewarm is the same.

It is just moving around without refrigeration or insulation, so it will spoil over time."

"Poor service."

"Isn't that embarrassing? I know you cannot manage food and drinks separately.

If you say it is to reduce operating costs, I would agree."

Hmm... I don't understand how a real person manages it. I glanced at Kaimana because I saw it. Uranus was also kicked out directly by the Game Master. I think this must be difficult.

We snuggled under the Kotatsu and continued chatting.

"Come on... it's time to move."

Uranus announced while stretching.... 11:50. Will the results be announced soon?

"Hmm. A little longer."

"Hope you come alone."

"Hey, Cola, you guys."

"I know the Kotatsu feels good, but if it's too hot, you'll fall asleep.

I'm going to have lunch too, you two hurry up."

Encouraging the two reluctant people, I hurried to get dressed and leave the room.

I walked along the corridor, struggling to put on shoes I wasn't used to yet. When I opened the door with a rattle,

"Come on!?"

"Hey!"

The incoming cold air made the siblings shiver all over. It must be cold. I didn't even say anything because I was cold.

"Moving around to warm up will be better, hurry up."

Uranus walked ahead alone. Somehow, is he resistant to the cold? I usually wear light clothes.

A white breath accumulated on his back.

... I must try not to let it become unreasonable.

I stepped on the snow, in a Chase of the fluttering cherry blossoms.
