Souping Up Dagu: "It was just the first try. All the good stuff comes later, especially once new people join."
Right now, the chat group only had a handful of members. Whether it was Dagu, Roxie Vale, or Brandon White, they all lived in modern worlds. Sure, there was some mystique, but compared to real technological goods, it was almost nothing.
So, patience was needed—wait until new members joined, especially those from truly mystical worlds. That's when the lottery would get interesting.
Evilest Spirit: "That sounds nice, but no one knows when the next new member will show up. Could be ages. Plus, we really need to figure out how to earn more points."
Kurumi Tokisaki massaged her temples. To spin the lottery, you needed points, and right now, the only way to get points was through exchanges.
But what in her world would be valuable enough to trade?
Spirit crystals? Selling those might trigger the Origin Spirit to come after her, and that'd be a disaster.
She couldn't risk it without more power.
So, maybe DEM or AST tech?
Their stuff probably fetched a high price in points.
Souping Up Dagu: "If the Pyramids show up in my world, I'll get in early and sell the two stone statues that aren't Tiga. Plus, all those monster corpses—those must be worth a ton."
Souping Up Dagu: "Definitely need to get better at hand-to-hand combat, though. If I just use beams, I'll ruin the bodies. Fewer points if the remains are wrecked."
Dagu didn't have many options, but these two were enough. He was set.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Wow, so righteous, Tiga. Even the Ultra statues aren't safe from you."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Didn't expect you'd sell off the stone statues too."
Souping Up Dagu: "They'll just get smashed by Golza anyway. Why let them go to waste? I might as well sell them for points and get stronger. That way, I can protect Earth even better."
Souping Up Dagu: "Righteousness.jpg"
Child of Nature: "Nicely said!"
Uchiha Dance King: "Nicely said!"
Come Be My Son: "Nicely said!"
Evilest Spirit: "Nicely said!"
Uchiha Dance King: "That's exactly how it should be done!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "…"
Golden Flash: "…"
All these chaotic types were corrupting Dagu, for sure.
Child of Nature: "Come to think of it, you don't have to use points for the lottery. You could use them for group trades, too."
Child of Nature: "If you sell those statues, you could trade some of your points for Madara's taijutsu or Whitebeard's martial arts—no question, those are peak-level in their worlds."
Child of Nature: "Madara's is all about lethal technique, honed through life-and-death combat. That legendary one-against-a-hundred-thousand moment doesn't even need explaining."
Child of Nature: "Whitebeard's martial arts—maybe they look simple and flashy in the anime, just showing off the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Armament Haki—but the setting says his hand-to-hand skills are also top tier. Even without his Fruit, he'd be almost unstoppable."
Child of Nature: "By the way, can red packets even send abilities? If not, all this analysis is pointless…"
He suddenly remembered: this chat group might not follow the same rules as those in the novels he'd read. If they couldn't trade abilities via red packets, then his whole theory was useless.
Ordinary Group Leader: "…"
Souping Up Dagu: "…"
Evilest Spirit: "…"
Uchiha Dance King: "…"
Come Be My Son: "…"
Everyone had been listening so intently… and then he dropped this.
Child of Nature: "What? I only joined a couple days ago—how would I know?"
Child of Nature: "Besides, no one's given me a red packet yet!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "That's fair."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Red packets can send abilities, but you lose them when you do."
Ordinary Group Leader: "I'm guessing martial arts would work the same way."
Child of Nature: "Tsk, that sucks."
Evilest Spirit: "Tsk, that sucks."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Tsk, that sucks."
Golden Flash: "Tsk, that sucks."
Souping Up Dagu: "Nods in agreement.jpg"
Souping Up Dagu: "So what should I do? Just keep spinning the lottery?"
Dagu sighed. If he could have gotten Whitebeard or Madara's battle experience straight up, fighting kaiju would have been so much easier—but that was out of the question.
Brandon stroked his chin, thinking things over, and then said:
Child of Nature: "In that case, trade with Madara for a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, and with Whitebeard for his Haki training methods."
Child of Nature: "Once you can become Tiga, you've got plenty of energy to use up. Even if your transformation window drops from three minutes, it shouldn't be by much."
Child of Nature: "Tiga's power is so overwhelming, a Sharingan could try to absorb it forever and barely make a dent."
Souping Up Dagu: "Got it."
Souping Up Dagu: "@Uchiha Dance King, @Come Be My Son, can I make that trade?"
Come Be My Son: "Kurararara, be bold, Dagu!"
Come Be My Son: "This is a fair deal."
Uchiha Dance King: "Hmph, don't underestimate our generosity."
Just like Whitebeard said, it was an even trade—if anything, points were more important but came with a lot more uncertainty.
But it didn't really matter, since the things they'd be trading weren't all that valuable to them anyway.
Evilest Spirit: "Honestly, with your luck, I don't think it's that fair. Try not to pull a steel pipe or a doll next time!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Yeah, exactly."
Uchiha Dance King: "You two really can't talk. One of you got a 'Thanks for Participating' ticket, and the other got a free nose job. Not like you're any luckier."
Golden Flash: "Hahahahaha!"
That's Right, Meow: "Meowth licks paw.jpg—I'm gonna try earning points too, meow."
That's Right, Meow: "If I draw something good and hand it over to the boss, maybe I'll get promoted… hehehe."
