Chapter 847

But in essence, it is the high price of magic-type items.

Other ordinary houses, cars, food, electrical appliances, materials, etc., have not risen much compared to before, and now everyone can afford them.

But people's pursuit of beautiful things is endless.

Currently, ordinary things are just the basics; being able to have magic items freely is what is called "well-off" and "wealthy."

Therefore, even though the global GDP has increased by more than ten or twenty times and the income of ordinary people has increased by ten times, they are still full of energy and full of hope, longing for a better life.

Still the same sentence: what ordinary people fear is not hardship, not toil, not being worthy of their hard work, but having no hope...

The thought flashed by, and Kitahara Iori continued: "In short, this kind of luxury item made of divine beast material has a very high value-preservation attribute. It is said that if you can research the coordinates of its origin through it, that is a whole world.

Therefore, since it was launched by the Yukinoshita Consortium, the price will not only not fall after you get it, but it may skyrocket."

Kitahara Iori scratched his cheek: "The seventh edition—it had just been released when I wore it. I still have to ask about the specific price. Oh, the barrage says it's 1.2 billion US dollars now; no big deal."

No!

The problem is huge!

Kaji Ryoji was covered in cold sweat and turned to look around: "I'm going to the peripheral area to communicate with Misato and the others. How about you guys?"

Damn it.

Do you know how much military spending Japan gives to the Federation a year?

Two billion US dollars.

For companies with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars in the world, try asking them to take out 2 billion US dollars in cash?

How much is the annual budget of an organization as large as the FBI?

2.3 billion US dollars.

A pillow, and not even a set, wants 1.2 billion US dollars from me?

Wouldn't a set be enough to buy a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?

Damn!

Kaji Ryoji was too lazy to continue shopping and turned around in a sorry state, walking faster and faster: "Call me when it's time to eat."

However, he finally understood the concept of a basic salary of twenty points a month and how generous Chaldea was.

Around him.

The women were also secretly clicking their tongues, but their eyes looking at the Charmander pillow were even more fiery.

What a level of luxury item. jpg!

Anzi swore that once she earned enough points, she would definitely buy one—no, buy a set for the living room.

When her best friend felt the peculiarity and asked, she would then say nonchalantly: "It's not expensive, just 10 billion US dollars. Oh, no, it should have risen to 20 billion by now, right?"

What the hell.

Just imagining it made every pore feel as refreshed as if it had eaten Stride.

At this time.

A "beep."

A girl with red twin tails hugged a huge bright red dragon pillow from the vending machine, felt a burst of warmth, and narrowed her eyes: "Is this the Charizard from this set?"

"Ye... yes."

Kitahara Iori stammered: "But this one costs sixty points."

"That guy transferred four thousand points to me, telling me to use them slowly."

Asuka hugged the pillow and waved her hand: "I'm going to the dormitory first."

Behind her.

A group of women seemed to have turned into statues.

"So this is the feeling of 'manifesting holiness before others' that he talked about?"

At a corner.

Asuka touched her chest, and a bright smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

"Seems... not bad?"

Vaguely, a blurry golden-red diamond-shaped film of light flashed and disappeared.

As the second protagonist of this world.

Although the torrent of destiny gathered on her was not as massive as that of Ikari Shinji, the first protagonist, it was second only to him.

And her personal quality and growth speed were far superior to Ikari Shinji's.

Now that she had come into contact with Chaldea, even without the favoritism of a certain black hand, her future achievements would inevitably be above those of Ikari Shinji, who was the protagonist.

In the original work, in the theatrical version 【 】, she was the combat ace in WILLE for fourteen years.

As long as she didn't hang up, there were basically no opponents.

Of course, she is currently only in the growth stage of fourteen years old.

"Your place... the environment doesn't seem bad either."

Kaji Ryoji took a sip of beer and sat down beside Katsuragi Misato, admiring the scenery of the peripheral area.

"Just not bad?"

Katsuragi Misato sat on the steps, looking at the bustling city before her.

Chaldea clearly didn't just recruit that many people; more were recruited from the beginning as logistics service personnel.

This part was at least ten thousand people.

Therefore, one could see people exclaiming and shuttling back and forth before their eyes.

"Well~."

Kaji Ryoji shrugged as he looked at the futuristic city before him.

Honestly, it was much better than the best rich areas in the outside world.

It was just that after experiencing the wealth of the inner official member area, it was hard for him to have any feelings.

One point is equivalent to 40 million to 100 million US dollars.

In other words, he had also become a world-class billionaire with an annual income of 10 billion US dollars?

Although he knew it couldn't be calculated that way, he was still secretly clicking his tongue at Chaldea's level.

To put it bluntly, this was beyond the secular world, making resources difficult to calculate in secular currency units; just revealing a little bit was an astronomical figure.

"You've contacted the outside world, right?"

Katsuragi Misato raised her head in a daze: "I feel like someone from the last century entering a developed country; my stance in my heart has changed, and now I identify more with Chaldea's philosophy.

For the countries outside, it's just a feeling of helping a backward hometown."

"No."

Kaji Ryoji stood up and said seriously: "Chaldea is not in opposition to our world, not even on the same level, but an institution similar to a Pan-Humanity Union.

This is by no means a betrayal.

Our Chaldea's stance is consistent with that of various countries; we are all here to defeat all factors that threaten humanity. When that time comes, Chaldea will leave and will never interfere in the internal affairs of this world, at most leaving a very small number of monitoring personnel to prevent the recurrence of Demon God Beasts."

"Our Chaldea..."

Katsuragi Misato looked at him blankly.

"Yes, our Chaldea."

Kaji Ryoji said firmly.

The man named Kaji Ryoji also had his youth.

That was the era when the world was on the verge of collapse after the Second Impact.

Order collapsed, the evil of human nature was completely released, and most cities were abandoned and became empty cities.

They, the homeless children who had lost their parents, were like wild dogs, foraging for food among them and surviving carefully.

Because of hunger, they could only rely on abandoned trash and stolen cans from military bases to survive.

When it was his turn to steal cans, he was caught by soldiers who had long been suspicious.

Because of torture and threats to his name, he betrayed them and confessed the residence of his friends.

After leaving one person to guard him, the soldiers all went to "have fun."

When his guard was distracted, he attacked the guard and ran back to the residence, but the "fun" had already turned into human shapes, leaving behind a piece of carnage.

From then on, the pain and guilt in his heart gnawed at him like a poisonous snake.

He swore to pursue the truth that led to all this and find the true culprit of the Second Impact.
