Spirit of Time: "I also tried converting time into points. At first, I directly exchanged 500 points, but after that, the Chat Group gave fewer and fewer points for recovery, and eventually stopped giving them altogether. It made me waste a lot of time for nothing."
Speaking of which, she was quite annoyed.
Her purpose in absorbing time was to go back to the past and change history.
But even after absorbing the time of ten thousand people, she still hadn't accumulated half of her target.
Then, the rewards from the Chat Group's lottery made her itch with anticipation.
Not to mention the wisdom of a Demon God, even those Level 4 and Level 5 superpowers made Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes turn red.
Then... she sold time.
And then, there was no 'then'.
Bai Chen: "This is also to prevent people from exploiting bugs, right? Otherwise, what would happen if a group member with infinite lifespan joined later?"
Spirit of Time: "You're right."
Railgun: "They don't leave any loopholes to exploit, even though they're so stingy."
While the two women were chatting, Bai Chen glanced at the Chat Group's lottery again.
The permanent pool and the rotating pool remained unchanged.
However, according to the rules, it wouldn't be long before the Campione World's pool would be updated into the permanent pool.
With nothing to do, Bai Chen scrolled the rewards of the permanent pool all the way to the bottom.
"??"
What did he see?
Bai Chen: "Things recovered by the Chat Group's auction are automatically added to the permanent pool?"
Spirit of Time: "Yes, you just found out?"
Bai Chen: "If that's the case, then if I let the Chat Group recover a pile of trash, wouldn't it further reduce the chances of winning?"
Spirit of Time: "!!!"
Railgun: "Are you a devil?"
It was already hard to get points, and with bad luck, recovering a pile of items only gave ten points. If they then drew something they had sold themselves, they would probably have a mental breakdown on the spot.
Bai Chen: "It's just a guess. Only things that the Chat Group deems to have a certain value should be added to the permanent pool. It won't be everything."
Railgun: "Good thing you have some conscience!"
Bai Chen: "What does that have to do with me?"
He was very innocent; he had only proposed a hypothesis.
System notification: Group member Railgun has signed in and received 5 points.
Railgun: "Good night, everyone, I'm going to sleep."
She was just a middle school student and usually went to bed around nine or ten. Staying up until midnight now was due to the Chat Group's sign-in.
Bai Chen: "Oh? You're going to sleep already?"
He glanced at the time; it was only exactly midnight.
Bai Chen: "The wonderful nightlife has just begun."
Railgun: "I have class tomorrow, I really can't stay awake any longer. Bye-bye."
System notification: Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang has signed in and received 5 points.
System notification: Luo A Bao has signed in and received 5 points.
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "Good night."
Luo A Bao: "Everyone, get some rest."
Goodness, they were all lurking.
However, both of them were military personnel, so it was normal for them not to be online for extended periods.
Spirit of Time: "I'm going to rest too. Staying up late isn't good for the skin, Mr. Bai Chen, good night."
The Chat Group suddenly fell silent.
Bai Chen also exited the group chat and lay on his bed, thinking about future matters.
Although he had a stronghold, the threat was still present.
Heretic Gods could descend at any time, and the Marquis and the Sword King might make a comeback.
He needed to redouble his efforts to master his Authority.
Although a God Slayer was already at an unattainable height for ordinary people in this world, height also determined one's perspective.
A sense of urgency also arose spontaneously.
After watching TV for a while, Bai Chen gradually fell asleep... Late at night.
The Commander-in-chiefs of the Bronze Black Cross secretly contacted the other Magic Societies in Italy and announced the news of the seventh God Slayer.
Such sudden news naturally wasn't very convincing.
But coming from Old Kraničar, it had to be believed.
After all, they all knew the inside story of the Balkan Peninsula.
Marquis Woban summoned a Heretic God, and the Sword King went to intercept him.
Some Magic Societies had also contacted Andre, the Sword King's attendant, and confirmed the authenticity of the news.
The conflict between the two Kings resulted in the Sword King's whereabouts being unknown, while Marquis Woban was injured and recovering.
Thus, the intelligence about the birth of the seventh God Slayer had a very high degree of credibility.
Afterward, it naturally caused chaos in the mysterious side.
The birth of a New King meant that the world's pattern would change.
Moreover, on the very first day of his birth, he forcibly took the Bronze Black Cross into his possession, which inevitably led people to label Bai Chen as "autocratic."
Intelligence organizations worldwide immediately sprang into action, launching a full-scale investigation into Bai Chen's identity and background.
But no matter how they investigated, it was a blank slate, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
Could he be a "mountain savage" who had been living in seclusion in the mountains and hadn't even registered his household?
After much thought, this was the only guess they could come up with.
If his background couldn't be ascertained, there was no way to deduce other information about the New King, such as his personality and hobbies.
Some Magic Societies wanted to pay tribute to the New King, but the current situation was still unclear, and rashly taking sides could lead to the disintegration of their society, so they decided to observe from the shadows for the time being.
And the object of their observation was, of course, the Bronze Black Cross...
