Chapter 842: Ch. 842 – How Much Is Integrity Worth?
After Yukari Yakumo finished her speech, the people present cheered.
Then everyone dispersed instantly.
They began eating and drinking right away.
Everything was free, and Yukari Yakumo paid for it.
Takumi and the others also found a place to sit down and slowly began to enjoy the banquet that night.
Kaguya pulled Eirin over.
The group sat together and chatted.
Yukari Yakumo ran over immediately after her announcement.
She was probably afraid that Takumi would abduct Yuyuko.
"Why are you suddenly interested in building a community?"
"And why are you only starting now?"
Seeing Yukari Yakumo come over, Takumi couldn't help but ask the question on his mind.
Why this sudden interest in building a community?
Yukari Yakumo had never shown interest in this before. Summoning people and announcing it so abruptly was confusing.
"Snort!"
"Before was before."
"Now is now."
"When I first came to this world, everyone had their own things to do, so I didn't think about it."
"Now that things have stabilized, I naturally think about it."
"Besides, your world is currently in the era of communities."
"Although some Gift Competitions can be entered individually, it's better to participate as a community."
"There's still a big difference between the two."
"Even if I didn't want to do it, I couldn't ignore it."
Yukari Yakumo sighed.
Times had changed.
It was now the era of communities.
Without a community, many things would be inaccessible in the future.
Moreover, she didn't want the name Gensokyo to be forgotten.
So everything went accordingly.
"I see!"
"No wonder."
"But building it now is the best thing."
"With your current strength, once Gensokyo is established, it will rank quite high."
"I'll have Prometheus draft a ranking when the time comes."
When he said this, a smile appeared on Takumi's face.
He wanted to get those people involved.
Since arriving in this world, the old ladies of Gensokyo had received many enhancements.
Their strength had significantly increased.
Especially Eirin Yagokoro.
She was considered one of Takumi's own, and the spiritual power he gave her was substantial.
Not to mention she was working for him.
She had received all kinds of benefits generously.
So now, she was not weak at all.
Let alone the others in Gensokyo.
Their abilities were strange and varied.
When Takumi's world transformed, they gained even more benefits.
So if the community was really formed,
The Gensokyo community would definitely rank among the best.
"Don't mess around."
"It'll be troublesome if we get challenged and lose."
"I don't want to be challenged every day. That's too much trouble."
When Kaguya heard Takumi's words, her eyebrows raised immediately.
Takumi clearly wanted to stir things up.
She wasn't interested in that.
Kaguya could already foresee that if Takumi really created rankings,
The top-ranked communities would definitely get into trouble.
After all, reputation was valuable.
Takumi would surely reap benefits from being ranked first.
"The bigger the storm, the bigger the catch."
"It might be a bit troublesome, but it comes with many benefits, right?"
"You can't just allow people to challenge me without conditions."
"If they want a challenge, they need to offer something worthwhile."
Sure, there might be trouble.
But it wasn't a big problem.
When the rankings were first released, some might be dissatisfied.
Many people would believe they were the best and wonder why others ranked above them.
Disputes would follow.
Involution would follow.
Wouldn't that be fun?
Each side would have to offer something.
Otherwise, what's the point of playing with random challengers?
"I think you just want to stir up trouble!"
Kaguya rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Takumi clearly wanted to shake up the entire community structure.
She wasn't fooled.
"That's right!"
"Indeed, I do."
"But you don't have to participate. You already think it's troublesome."
"Old Lady Yukari will definitely enjoy it."
"So will Yuuka if there's a fight."
"Most of the fantasy people will be willing to join, right?"
"After all, there are benefits!"
Takumi smiled at Yukari Yakumo.
Others might not know, but Takumi knew them well.
If there were fights and benefits, the people of Gensokyo would definitely participate.
Yukari Yakumo nodded immediately upon hearing that.
"Indeed, if there are benefits, I'll definitely participate."
"That sounds interesting."
"If you're doing it, go all in."
Yukari Yakumo smiled.
If that were the case, she really didn't mind joining.
With plenty of benefits, she wouldn't hesitate.
She didn't care about rankings.
If the benefits were good enough, she'd even sell her ranking.
Thinking this, Yukari Yakumo felt great.
There was money to be made.
It might be unethical,
But how much is integrity worth?
She'd sell it all.
They had no moral high ground anyway.
If there were profits, they'd sell their ranks without hesitation.
Everyone in Gensokyo would agree.
After all, it was worth a lot.
Kaguya glanced at Yukari Yakumo and couldn't help but say:
"Whatever."
"Since you're fine with it, do as you please."
"Just don't drag me into the Gift Competitions."
As long as she wasn't forced to participate, she didn't mind.
Everyone gathered and chatted while drinking.
The Gensokyo banquet was a success.
But everyone got drunk.
Then a fight broke out in the field.
Naturally, as the host, Yuuka didn't allow that.
Anyone who wanted to fight was thrown out.
The ones tossed out sobered up quickly and stopped causing trouble on Yuuka's turf.
Otherwise, they'd really be buried in the dirt.
Don't doubt whether Yuuka would do it.
She absolutely would.
The most exciting part of the banquet was watching her throw people out.
It was thrilling.
You could see drunk people being launched by Yuuka.
