Chapter 697: Ch. 697 – Showing Off Carries Risk
When everyone in the chat group saw what Ningguang said, they immediately spammed frantically.
People in this world have gone a bit crazy.
Even gods who don't obey can be turned into commodities.
Shiroyasha:
[Tsk!]
[Do you think I won't pull those gods down and sell them as products?]
[That's an easy way to make money!!]
Shiroyasha was interested too.
She had the urge to drag them all out and put them on shelves.
With her ability, it would be easy.
Chika Fujiwara:
[The gods of disobedience are still gods!]
[Isn't this immoral?]
Shiroyasha:
[Lol!]
[Wouldn't it be better without morality?]
Without morality, no one can hold it against you.
Why talk to her about ethics like she's a child?
Fujiwara Chika was stunned.
This woman was just outrageous.
Takumi:
[Cut it out.]
[If you try that, I'll put your solar sovereignty on the market.]
[People would definitely pay for a full set.]
If they let Shiroyasha actually go through with this, things would spiral out of control.
If disobedient gods were put up for sale, the other gods in Takumi's world would definitely hold her accountable.
That would offend a lot of powerful beings.
Everyone continued chatting and eventually started discussing business.
Now that everyone knew they had their own industries, those who didn't began to think:
Should I start a business too?
They weren't short on capital.
Truthfully, most of the group members were very wealthy.
They arrived when Takumi's world was first built.
When food creatures were just starting to integrate, they had seized the opportunity and profited.
Everyone had eaten well off those dividends.
Plenty of cash on hand.
They just didn't have their own companies.
Most never even thought about it.
After all, as long as food creatures existed, money was easy to come by.
If they needed cash, they could just go out and hunt.
Killing one rare food creature was enough for a massive payday.
But now, it might be time to start a real business.
Something with long-term potential.
They started brainstorming.
What could they do?
In Takumi's world, tech was already locked down.
Takumi had total control over it.
If they wanted in, they had to try other industries.
Entertainment?
Well, Bronya dominated the game world.
Eden ruled over songs and movies.
With that territory covered, they had to pivot.
They needed something else.
And they had the money to do it.
They could act as angel investors.
Watching the chat group morph into a business forum, Takumi was speechless.
But he supported the idea.
After all, having money gave them independence.
Takumi didn't interfere.
He just kept reviewing the activity of those who crossed over.
As expected, the random gate had become a hotspot.
Lots of people were opening stores.
Seeing this, Takumi made an announcement in the group.
Takumi:
[If you want a business, go through the random gate.]
[Open a shop there and earn money from the travelers.]
[Recycle their world's goods.]
Take their imported items, flip them for profit.
Be a secondhand goods dealer.
Chika Fujiwara:
[Great idea!!]
[Let's do that. Open a store.]
[Let's coordinate to avoid overlapping industries.]
[Or maybe we can run a shop together.]
[Anyone know of good spots? Save one for me!]
Inspired by Takumi, Fujiwara Chika made up her mind.
Open a shop targeting cross-world travelers.
Everyone in the group agreed.
They'd pool funds, open a company together, and specialize in buying imported goods.
With Prometheus's help, it would be easy.
All they had to do was profit from the margin.
Seeing everyone hyped, Ningguang offered to help too.
Since they wanted in, she'd lend a hand.
After reminding them, Takumi turned his attention elsewhere.
He continued checking the coordinates of crossover worlds.
He didn't care what those travelers were doing.
If they wanted to treat Takumi's world as a cheat code, so be it.
Sooner or later, their worlds would come too.
Once exposed, they'd be full of regret.
Thinking about it, Takumi turned to Prometheus:
"Warn them."
"Tell them their world might drift into ours."
"We don't know when."
"But it's coming."
"Better be cautious."
Takumi smiled slightly as he said this.
He'd done his part.
If they ignored the warning and suffered later, it was on them.
Truthfully, Takumi preferred a win-win scenario.
Let them think of his world as a cheat system.
Their worlds would eventually connect.
And the more arrogant they were now, the harder they'd fall later.
Prometheus recorded everything and relayed the message.
People wandering the Su Night World were stunned when they got the news.
Their mouths twitched in disbelief.
Their world… would come too?
Whoa!
If that's true, they were in big trouble.
Panicked, someone asked Prometheus:
Was there a way to prevent it?
Was it avoidable?
They waited for an answer.
Prometheus:
"Nope."
"It's irreversible."
"Smaller worlds are drawn to larger ones."
"Once you appear here, your world's coordinates are recorded."
"Your world will follow."
Her cold response left them utterly depressed.
