As for wanting to be in love?
Was Esdeath already thinking of love at this point?
However, this also indirectly proves that the plot of Akame ga Kill seems to have not yet begun.
The second group member is "Bad Woman".
She was taciturn, didn't speak much, and didn't reveal any useful information.
However, being able to say the word "illusion" means she shouldn't be a character from an everyday world.
Railgun: "Imperial Arm? It sounds really powerful!"
Spirit of Time: "So the newcomer has encountered similar things before? But please rest assured, this group is fair to all, and it's definitely not an illusion caused by mental interference."
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "This title… never mind, I don't care. How do I use the items obtained from the group lottery?"
Luo A Bao: "After drawing, it will appear directly in your world, and you'll automatically know how to use it… I think so."
Bai Chen: "Newcomers have the privilege of one free draw. You can try it."
Railgun: "Shut up! You seal!"
Bai Chen: "I only drew once, how did I become a seal?"
Railgun: "You're right, you've used up all your luck for this life, so you won't be able to draw anything good in the future!"
Bai Chen: "The sour taste of lemon is overwhelming."
Railgun: "Just you wait!"
Esdeath: "Image.jpg, is this what I drew? What is this? Kinako bread?"
The ice-blue-haired girl, sitting in a moving carriage, looked at the two pieces of bread in a plastic bag that had appeared in her hand, and her expression instantly froze.
If what the group members said was true, she was indeed very interested in the items and abilities in those pools.
Especially those items marked with the highest rarity level.
If she could draw one, would her power become even stronger?
Railgun: "First draw standard ending."
Spirit of Time: "It seems the newcomer's luck isn't very good."
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "I'm still the most miserable one."
Bai Chen: "It's not a loss if you can eat it."
Railgun: "I can almost see your gloating, despicable smile!"
Bai Chen: "I was clearly comforting the newcomer, okay?"
Railgun: "You were clearly laughing, and you haven't stopped!"
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "Could it be that this person named Bai Chen drew something good here?"
Bai Chen: "Average."
Spirit of Time: "By the way, the newcomer hasn't introduced her situation yet? If there's any problem that can't be solved, maybe we can help."
The journey was still long, so Esdeath tore open the plastic bag and took a bite, finding it surprisingly delicious.
Since she could obtain a real item, it meant that it was not a trap by the Revolutionary Army or foreign tribes.
Seeing the group members asking her, Esdeath, in a good mood, spoke about her situation.
Including her role as an Imperial General and the fact that she was on a march.
Then, she sent a picture of the army.
Railgun: "She's actually a General! How magnificent! It's real! And is she going to war?"
Spirit of Time: "She's wearing ancient armor, but there are modern equipment like infantry fighting vehicles. What's going on?"
Bai Chen: "Worlds with skewed technology trees are like this."
Spirit of Time: "Technology tree? Did Mr. Bai Chen 'deduce' the newcomer's world?"
Tokisaki Kurumi deliberately put "deduce" in double quotes, emphasizing the tone.
Bai Chen: "More or less. Simply put, it's a story about the Empire fighting other countries, followed by internal strife. In this situation, military-related technology advanced by leaps and bounds, while civilian technology remained stuck in the Middle Ages."
The technology tree in the Akame ga Kill world was severely skewed.
Even high-tech weapons like machine guns and missiles could be manufactured, yet the living standards of the common people did not improve at all.
At night, there wasn't even a street lamp to be seen.
Railgun: "Listening to your words is better than reading your words."
Bai Chen: "Speak in plain language."
Spirit of Time: "Mikoto probably means that what you said was too vague, and… about Mr. Bai Chen, we still don't know anything."
Bai Chen: "Do you really want to know?"
Railgun: "Super want to."
Spirit of Time: "I've always been very interested in what a world where so many Demon Kings reside is like."
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "Indeed, I'm very curious."
Luo A Bao: "Same as above."
Bai Chen: "Alright, I'll write a document and put it up there someday. Then you'll know about my situation."
Satisfying the curiosity of the group members is understandable.
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "From what you're saying, you seem to know a lot."
Bai Chen: "Just a little."
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "Since that's the case, do you know my future?"
Bai Chen: "You will die."
The atmosphere instantly grew cold…
Chapter 30: We Have a Traitor Among Us!!
Esdeath was also stunned.
Railgun: "That's a cold joke, but it's not wrong. People do die of old age."
Bai Chen: "I'm not joking. Given the danger level of the newcomer's world, no matter how strong she is, there will be a day when she falls into a ditch. And Pao Jie, your universe has actually been reset several times."
Railgun: "???"
Railgun: "Is there something wrong with you or something wrong with me?"
Resetting the universe? That's too terrifying!
But she didn't feel anything.
Misaka Mikoto thought of how Bai Chen usually teased her, and figured this time was no different.
And Bai Chen didn't pay attention after speaking.
The world of a certain magical index is very deep, and he couldn't grasp it, after all, there were always a few system-bug-like Demon Gods at the top, constantly watching the Earth.
They could easily destroy and create universes. In terms of danger, Pao Jie's world was the most dangerous one.
After all, whether they lived or died depended entirely on the mood of the Demon Gods.
Bai Chen: "I wouldn't joke about such a thing. @Queen Who Wants to be in Love, be careful of an organization called Night Raid. They have an Imperial Arm that causes instant death upon being cut."
In the anime, Esdeath was poisoned after being cut by Akame's Imperial Arm, and had to cut off her arm to resist the poison, but was ultimately defeated by Akame, who suddenly burst into power, and died alongside the male protagonist Tatsumi.
However, the current plot is still far from that point.
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "Night Raid? I understand."
Although she had been fighting on campaigns for many years, she had heard of the assassin organization Night Raid.
Many high-ranking officials and nobles in the Imperial Capital had been assassinated by Night Raid's assassins.
Now, hearing Bai Chen's reminder, she couldn't help but believe it a little.
But even though she believed it, Esdeath was not afraid; instead, she gradually became excited.
Since she might be killed, it meant that Night Raid must have very strong assassins.
Thinking of this, Esdeath couldn't help but look forward to the day she returned to the Imperial Capital.
As for questioning Bai Chen why he knew about her, was that important?
After all, even a Chat Group like this had appeared.
Railgun: "The deduction is well-reasoned and convincing."
Bai Chen: "I also deduce that you, Pao Jie, will later fight alongside Starry Eyes, who you don't get along with, and even become good friends."
Railgun: "Huh? Who wants to be friends with that arrogant woman?! I'm going to bed, I have class tomorrow!"
Spirit of Time: "Good night, Mikoto. But speaking of which, there's another newcomer who hasn't surfaced yet."
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "Maybe it's because he hasn't accepted yet. I'm going offline too. I have morning exercises and patrol early tomorrow."
Bai Chen: "Talk later if there's time."
Spirit of Time: "Good night, Mr. Bai Chen."
After sending this message, Bai Chen went to sleep.
The next few days were again spent practicing swordsmanship and mastering his Authority.
In the later stages of the original work, Tony was able to use meteors from outer space as a "sword," which was the result of developing his Authority to a certain extent.
Therefore, the current Bai Chen was sitting on a mountain of gold, and to live better, he had to thoroughly exploit this mountain of gold.
Besides that, Bai Chen's relationship with Liliana and Mariya Yuri, the two lolis, also warmed up daily.
Leaving the former aside for now, Bai Chen specifically educated Mariya Yuri, the saintess from the original work, to prevent her from developing a double standard.
At the same time, the Sword King and the Marquis, whom Bai Chen had been waiting for, did not come; instead, good news arrived.
A week ago, Bai Chen ordered the Bronze Black Cross to collect all items or relics containing special powers.
After a week of twists and turns, having collected a certain amount, they finally reported to Bai Chen.
He followed Liliana to the storeroom.
Amidst the creaking of metal bolts, the musty smell of old age, accompanied by the air, wafted into his nostrils.
Although Bai Chen was prepared, he couldn't help but frown.
However, when he saw the pile of items stacked like a small mountain, he revealed a joyful smile.
Because of the existence of Heretic Gods, there were quite a lot of holy relics scattered throughout the world.
Coupled with Bai Chen's not-so-strict requirements, ancient artifacts were collected in a short period of time.
Although it was impossible for all of them to contain energy, even if only half did, they should still be able to exchange for a lot of points.
He acted on his thoughts.
He directly sold this pile of artifacts to the mall in front of Liliana and others.
The onlookers' expressions were shocked.
Could such a large pile be put away all at once?
"Group notification: Group member 'Bai Chen' made a sale and gained 123 points."
"Group notification: Group member 'Bai Chen' made a sale and gained 98 points."
..."Group notification: Group member 'Bai Chen' made a collective sale and gained 4396 points."
When Bai Chen sold all the items, he found that his point balance had reached over six thousand.
He could completely do a ten-roll and still have some left over.
And the originally quiet Chat Group became lively again due to Bai Chen's series of actions…
