Chapter 846

He suspected he was being targeted; his whole body felt as if every bit of his flesh and blood had been dismantled.

"Who do you think this young lady is!"

Asuka's face was pale, but she still gritted her teeth and spoke stubbornly.

Relatively speaking, her willpower was stronger than Ikari Shinji's, but compared to these elites selected from various countries who had the firmest wills and would not be seduced by Chaldea, she was still quite lacking.

After all, talent could allow her to obtain a degree ten years early, but it could not erase the tempering brought by time and experience.

But her refusal to admit defeat and her powerful, paranoid self-esteem made her the third to stand up.

Watching the others stand up one after another, the stubborn beast said calmly: "Is that so? Although I don't know why the Lord would accept you unqualified products, since it is the Lord's order and you are unwilling to give up, then so be it.

I will take you to the dormitory area.

At six o'clock tomorrow morning, I will teach you the basics of magecraft and take you to collect your basic equipment as Chaldea investigators. Those who do not arrive will automatically have their membership status revoked."

As the stubborn beast's tall and upright body left.

The people following behind began to mutter.

"What is this? A bunch of inexplicable lectures—is he targeting us?"

Asuka rubbed her sore wrists and muttered.

"I always feel like he doesn't look at us like humans..."

The sensitive Ikari Shinji sensed a trace of heresy.

"Doesn't look at us like humans, Zhi?"

Kaji Ryoji was thoughtful.

Come to think of it, that person seemed to have said that they humans are actually Apostles derived from Lilith, the 18th Apostle 【Li Lin】.

Is this lord named Wang Gu actually a purist?

Or is it that humans with similar situations in the past have betrayed them? Or is he hating that they won't improve?

At this time, Ikari Shinji, who was following them to the dormitory, felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

One hour later.

"Big Brother, what's wrong with you, Big Brother Kitahara!!"

457. Pokémon Set, The Happiness of Mortals.

Dormitory area.

Calling it an area, it is actually a mini-city.

It covers at least twelve kilometers, excluding the spirit particle reaction device in the center that inserts into the sky like a sharp sword, providing basic power.

Around it, there are also hospitals with futuristic architecture, badminton courts, movie theaters, opera houses, coliseums, hospitals, commercial streets, food streets, haunted houses...

Even if you want to ride bumper cars to recall your childhood, you can find a place.

And it is that kind of extremely sci-fi yet warm architecture; even the world-famous seven-star hotels cannot compare.

Everyone was stunned.

"Kakui~~!"

"Zoyoi!"

Even though they had enjoyed quite a lot as agents, walking into this city at this moment, they had a feeling like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

"I asked Lord Gu; Chaldea's peripheral service personnel are generally hired locals who live in the area where Akagi Ritsuko and Misato-chan were before.

Unless permitted, that was probably the only chance they would ever have to enter the inner area.

And as official members, this should be the environment we will live in from now on.

It has all the facilities of the near future, and even the food is imported from magical worlds or cultivation centers, which has a considerable nourishing effect on the improvement of our magic power.

In the center, that tallest building is the spirit particle reaction tower; the speed of cultivation here is at least fourteen times that of the outside world."

Kaji Ryoji looked up at the sky.

The azure, clear sky, as clear as a wash, gave people a sense of relaxation and comfort.

"Even the sky is shared with a certain world, rotating every seven days, so you can enjoy the different seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter."

"Can even this kind of thing be done?"

A former Russian elite agent looked at the sky and muttered.

"Can we really enjoy these..."

Ikari Shinji was somewhat terrified instead.

As a country boy, let alone enjoying them, he had never even seen these things.

"Relax, relax."

Kaji Ryoji patted his shoulder and smiled gently: "Boy, in that person's words, since we are fighting bloody battles on the front line for humanity with our lives, then humanity must let us get the best treatment.

If conditions are limited, that's one thing, but since it can be done, we will try our best to do the best for us."

Seeing Ikari Shinji feel more at ease, he turned to look at Kitahara Iori who had caught up: "Besides, Lord Gu gave us twenty points each. I remember that if you want to use higher-level magic items, you also need that currency called 'points', right?"

"Mm-hmm~~"

Kitahara Iori, whose eyebrows were covered in white frost, deducted points with a "beep" and then took out a soft, bright red pillow doll from the vending machine.

But even so, he used his exhausted body to climb up and follow the team.

"Finally came back to life."

"Sure enough, this kind of luxury item filled with Moltres down and added with eleven layers of magic arrays for softness, binding, defense, and nourishment, is expensive for a reason."

Kaji Ryoji raised an eyebrow: "Does Supervisor's world have this kind of thing too?"

"Of course."

Kitahara Iori hugged the Charmander Pokémon-shaped pillow, which even had a flame on its tail, with satisfaction: "This is the Charmander from the seventh edition of Pokémon pillows launched by the Yukinoshita Consortium, with only four hundred sets limited for sale globally.

It is filled with the feathers of divine beasts and handmade by forty A-rank mages.

For an evocation-type mage, it can be called a cultivation tool, which can significantly speed up the rate of magic power improvement.

It even has seventeen types of evocation magic built-in, including two defensive grand magics and one single-target attack grand magic.

Let's put it this way: with such a set of pillows, you are equivalent to a flawed A-rank mage. In the ordinary modern world, as long as you don't seek death by challenging the state machine, you are already invincible.

As a result, it only cost sixteen points? Awesome!"

Just as he spoke, the new Chaldea members around had already gathered around.

Especially a group of girls, whose eyes were shining as they looked at the cute pillow.

Luxury item + limited edition + magic blessing + extremely cute design + world view and full of stories.

Which girl could resist?

However, they only had twenty points in total, so even if they liked it, it was impossible to spend most of them to buy a luxury item.

They could only look away reluctantly.

Just at this moment.

"Since it's something from your world, can we also buy it from you with US dollars? Or buy points directly with US dollars?"

Kaji Ryoji said thoughtfully.

The other women's eyes lit up.

That's right.

If you could buy it with money...

"US dollars?"

Kitahara Iori nodded with a strange expression: "You can, but it's a bit expensive."

Kaji Ryoji smiled: "You know, on the surface, I represent the Japanese government, but in reality, it's the Federal Council."

The meaning was obvious.

Even if it is an astronomical figure for an individual, so what? For a country, and currently the most powerful country on the planet, what does it count as...

"Five hundred million US dollars!"

Kitahara Iori held up a finger: "I'm talking about this Charmander piece. If it's a set, including Charmeleon, Charizard, Super Charizard X, and Super Charizard Y, the price is 8.8 billion US dollars. And that's still the internal price I got as an A-rank mage.

You can imagine: in the old era, a single useless F-35 fighter jet cost over 100 million US dollars. Not to mention the price as a luxury item, just the combat power alone is stronger than a squadron of fighter jets."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but gasp and shake his head, saying: "Until the arrival of the magic era, I didn't know how many big sharks were hidden under the water, and how rich they were.

For hundreds, or even thousands of years, they have accumulated too much wealth, and they have all gone crazy to keep up with the times.

Moreover, productivity has increased exponentially in the last two years, and the global GDP figure almost added a zero in one year; it's like running into a Great Harmony society."

In fact, the main world has already entered an era without poverty.

Money doesn't seem to be worth much anymore.
