Chapter 1430: Poverty Is a Sin! So I Chose to Become a Grind Emperor

Su Han had always believed that Bai Lan and Ranran were two very similar people.

This similarity was in temperament and personality, even akin to character design, and had nothing to do with anything else.

Of course, Ranran's raw strength naturally far surpassed Bai Lan's.

However, Bai Lan possessed the ability to connect parallel worlds... which could by no means be underestimated.

Ranran's interest in... this person so profoundly similar to himself was, in Su Han's eyes, perfectly natural.

Whether it was the power Bai Lan controlled or his character design resembling Ranran's, it would naturally draw Ranran's interest.

"Enough! Let's not talk about this anymore, Sawada Tsunayoshi! You invited us over—surely you don't plan to just chat in your room?"

Su Han raised an eyebrow, gazing at Sawada "663" with a half-smile.

Tsunayoshi, "Aren't you going to find a place to entertain us?"

At these words, Sawada Tsunayoshi finally snapped to attention, nodding hastily, a look of seriousness crossing his face, "My apologies! Everyone, just follow me."

In the guild chat room.

Tsuchimikado Umai: "Um...! May I ask, esteemed elders of the guild...

If I want to cultivate, but need to hide it from my family, what should I do?"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "Simple! Guild points. You deserve them."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "With enough points, you can make explosive progress.

Want to strengthen your body? Strengthen it.

Want to learn skills? Learn them. You can even pay to max out every skill beyond conventional limits!"

Tony Is Not the Richest: "Exactly! Paying is the greatest driver of evolution."

Tsuchimikado Umai: "...... What if I have no points?"

"Poverty is a sin! If you have no money, don't even think about paying.

Become a grind emperor."

Xiao Zhi: "Realistic! Enough talk—back to training! My goal is to master advanced Armament Color!"

Sakata Gintoki: "...... Grind what? Who are you training Armament Color for? Aren't those... pitiful little Pokémon of yours? What effort do you need to exert?"

Xiao Zhi: "......"

Ikusaba: "Hah... Universal mastery of advanced Armament Color? You've got six Pokémon! If they all learned advanced Armament Color, wouldn't that mean you have six Pokémon with General—or even superior—combat power?"

Ainz Ooal Gown: "I've been pondering this! Does mastering advanced Armament Color really grant General-level combat power? What about Observation Color?"

Bai Hu Zi: "Isn't that obvious? Don't forget Admiral Zephyr of the Marines! That man... pushed Armament Color to its peak.

Thus achieving General-level combat power... Remember! His Perception Color never reached advanced.

At best, it was intermediate."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "Hss! So... advanced Armament Color plus intermediate Perception Color equals General-level combat power!"

Hei Qi Yihu: "Don't measure combat power with such numbers!"

Tony Is Not the Richest: "True! It merely means your base combat value can reach General level with these powers.

But if your battle experience hasn't reached that level, it's all useless."

Tony Is Not the Richest: "Imagine if you accidentally get your arm chopped off by Whitebeard II... uh! That's probably going too far."

I was about to speak, but after reading my own words, I suddenly realized this topic might upset Whitebeard, so I stopped.

Gahabili: "...... Speaking of Whitebeard II!"

I Am the Hou Jue: "......"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Cough! Let's return to discussing the issues facing our leader and his group."

Bai Hu Zi: "I know what you mean! This doesn't touch my wound... Whitebeard II does have some connection to me! Of course, it's complicated—explaining it in detail would be troublesome..."

Bai Hu Zi: "So, better not say anything."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "It's fine! Everyone in the guild understands."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Tsuchimikado Umai.

If you want to train hard but fear your family seeing you, you can enter the Time Room. The points needed for the Time Room... can be earned through daily check-ins."

Su Xiao Xiao: "If you're just trying to slack off, then no need to say more... just be like Gao Ban realm and Miss Xia Shizi—be a lazy fish in the guild and lie down peacefully."

My Little Sister Is Not Cute: "!!!"

Miss Xia Shizi: "What do you mean by 'lazy fish'? My life goal is... to become an excellent light novel! I'm making great strides toward that goal—what's wrong with that? I'm not lazy! I just don't consider becoming stronger my life goal..."

Sakata Gintoki: "I believe you. What about you?"

Magical Girl Ilya: "Hehehe... I believe you too."

My Little Sister Is Not Cute: "I believe you... my ass! You old bastard, you're terrible."

Miss Xia Shizi: ""

Miss Xia Shizi: "What old bastard? 'Old bastard' should describe Master Zhang Sanfeng or Marquis Wo Ban—what does that have to do with me?"

True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "...... Is this like a fire at the city gate, drowning the fish in the moat?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Exactly! No problem."

Kinomoto Sakura: "...... Wait a second! Isn't our leader currently in the Private Tutor world? How does he have time to pop up in the guild?"

Luo Hao Sect Leader: "We've entered a restaurant and settled down! So while chatting here, we can still spare time to talk with you."

Kuru Kuru: "Human food! Tsk tsk... Still, I'd rather sip pure human blood."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Miss Kuru Kuru, here! This is your apple. Please hold it properly."

Sakata Gintoki: "Hold it properly? Ehh... I suddenly feel something very harmonious is happening in another world—something that needs a mosaic."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "I believe in the Demon King!"

The Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "I believe in my lord!"

Jianghu Chuan Kona: "...... No! I think, Black Cat, you don't so much trust the president as you trust the Luo Hao Sect Master... If something truly scandalous happened on the other side, the Sect Master would explode right where she stands."

Luo Hao Sect Master: "......"

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "By the way, President Mr.! Have you and Riben finished your explanations?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "I figure there's no need for me to explain it myself!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Because after Riben saw that certain yellow giant octopus and accepted our answer from another world... he eliminated all doubts about Ze Tian Gang Ji's aura!"
