"By the way, in Little Garden, is Authority valuable?" Aslan asked.
But what he got in return were two pairs of eyes staring at him as if he were an idiot. He had clearly just asked an extremely foolish question.
Yet, seeing Aslan was newly arrived in Little Garden, Shiroyasha and Kurousagi didn't say anything.
Shiroyasha gave Kurousagi a meaningful glance, signaling her to explain.
So Aslan wouldn't go and actually sell the Authority he possessed!
"Mr. Aslan, how should I put this?"
"Authority isn't a matter of whether it's valuable or not—it's that no one is foolish enough to sell it!"
After all, what was Authority? It was a chicken that continuously produced achievement points and laid golden eggs.
And just ask yourself—how many people in Little Garden would dare to openly claim they possess Authority?
If your backing isn't strong, and news spreads that you hold Authority, believe it or not, a Demon King would come knocking on your door that very night.
"Alright, I guess I asked too much."
Aslan shook his head helplessly and said no more.
Kurousagi breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Aslan had no intention of selling something as valuable as Authority.
Even though she desperately wanted Leticia back, it wasn't worth Aslan sacrificing something so precious.
But Shiroyasha looked at Aslan and quickly realized where the misunderstanding lay.
She couldn't resist opening her mouth, but then seemed to realize something and waved her hand.
In the blink of an eye, Aslan, Kurousagi, and Shiroyasha were all standing on a barren stretch of land.
"I admit, I underestimated you, kid."
Shiroyasha's current state was one of shock—profound shock.
What the hell was that surprise!
She had never imagined that the god's follower she'd casually accepted could possess such potential!
After all, having lived in Little Garden for so long and been tricked countless times, although Shiroyasha had once been reckless, she now had far greater knowledge and wisdom.
She could naturally and easily grasp Aslan's implication—that he had a way to obtain Authority.
Of course, as Shiroyasha—the being ranked first on Little Garden's achievement list—she already possessed fourteen Sun Authorities and was in no way short of achievement points.
But these achievements were hers, and there was no way, nor method, for her to transfer achievements she already owned to someone else.
Unless another Sun Authority War broke out.
Otherwise, even if she gave someone a Sun Authority, the ownership would still remain with her, and the core of Little Garden would continue granting achievements to her.
As for Kurousagi? She also held one Moon Authority, granted by Indra.
"Speak. No one here can find out."
"Not even other Two-Digit beings."
Shiroyasha said with great confidence. This was one of her treasured assets to show off.
Amano-Iwato. In Takamagahara mythology, Amaterasu Ōmikami once hid inside Amano-Iwato, plunging the world into darkness.
In Little Garden, Amano-Iwato was also an extremely powerful Gift.
Amano-Iwato wasn't just an excellent shelter—its interior was completely safe. More importantly, it could block outside observation.
Even the core of Little Garden might not know what happened inside Amano-Iwato.
"Eh… does it have to be this serious?"
Aslan's lips twitched. Did they really need to hide everything so strictly? Not even letting other Two-Digit beings know?
"Of course it does! You have no idea how severe the achievement shortage is in Little Garden right now!"
Seeing Aslan's expression, Shiroyasha couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"If this were Little Garden during its dawn era, your Gift wouldn't be anything special."
"After all, back then, Little Garden hadn't observed many worlds. Unobserved worlds were everywhere, and you could gain massive achievements and various Authorities."
"But now, the number of worlds Little Garden has observed is as countless as the sands of the Ganges River."
"To reach a new world not yet observed by Little Garden… it's nearly impossible."
"Added to that, the Final Trial of Humanity, the Absolute Evil, hasn't been overcome—only sealed. Human history can't progress further."
"The entire Little Garden is in a state of scarcity. And now, someone appears who can bring in new achievements."
"What do you think?"
After all, Shiroyasha came from the dawn era of Little Garden. Based on the clues Aslan had revealed,
She had already guessed the truth about his ability to travel freely between worlds.
But for someone like Aslan, who could help make Little Garden better, Shiroyasha welcomed him with open arms.
"I'm so glad I met Boss Shiroyasha."
Hearing Shiroyasha's words, Aslan felt relieved. Otherwise, he might not even have known how he'd die.
Was Little Garden's situation really this dire?
No wonder the gods loved Canaria so much. After all, every divine faction was starving, waiting for the distribution of achievements after overcoming the Absolute Evil.
And now Canaria was gone, and the Absolute Evil still hadn't been overcome.
The gods naturally had zero achievements.
"That's for sure."
"Then, what's the price of one Authority? And what kind of Authority is suitable for selling?"
Aslan asked the question he'd been wanting to ask. This time, both Kurousagi and Shiroyasha fell silent.
After all, they'd never imagined someone could actually sell Authority.
At this moment, they couldn't think of any way to stop him.
"It's hard to put an exact price, but specifically, it depends on how many achievements the Authority can generate."
Shiroyasha thought for a moment. As an executive of Thousand Eyes, she was quite skilled at appraising item values.
She was also a senior auctioneer at Thousand Eyes.
"The more compatible it is with human history, and the easier it is to popularize, the more achievements it will bring—and thus, the higher its value naturally becomes."
After all, achievements came from human history. The more compatible with human history, the more easily it could be integrated into more worlds. The easier it was to popularize, the greater the influence it would generate.
Of course, the more achievements one would gain.
"But specifically, each case must be analyzed individually."
"Just remember one thing: Authorities capable of generating achievements are rarely low in value."
"And, if it's just to buy Leticia, any Authority that brings even a small amount of achievements will be enough."
Aslan, of course, listened carefully to all of Shiroyasha's advice and memorized it deeply.
After all, from what he could see now, Shiroyasha had no intention of harming him. She truly considered him one of their own.
"By the way, it's not that I don't care about you—take this."
As she said this, Shiroyasha pulled out one Sun Authority and tossed it to Aslan.
