Esdeath was also stunned.
Railgun: "That joke is cold, but it's not wrong. People do die of old age."
Bai Chen: "I'm not joking. Given the danger level of the new member's world, no matter how strong one is, there will be a day when they capsize in a ditch. Moreover, the universe you live in, Pao Jie, has actually been reset several times."
Railgun: "???"
Railgun: "Is there something wrong with you or with me?"
Resetting the universe? That's too terrifying!
But she didn't feel anything.
Misaka Mikoto thought about how Bai Chen usually teases her, and figured this was the same.
And Bai Chen didn't care after he finished speaking.
The waters of a certain magical index are very deep, and he couldn't grasp them. After all, there were always a few system-bug-like Demon Gods at the top, fixated on Earth.
They could easily destroy and create universes. If you talk about danger, Pao Jie's world is the most dangerous one.
After all, whether they live or die depends entirely on the Demon Gods' mood.
Bai Chen: "I wouldn't joke about such things. @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 cut by Akame's Imperial Arm, became infected with a potent poison, and had to cut off her arm to resist it, but was ultimately defeated by Akame, who suddenly had a power surge, and died alongside the male protagonist, Tatsumi.
However, the current plot is nowhere near that point.
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "Night Raid, you say? 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 killers.
Now, hearing Bai Chen's warning, she couldn't help but believe it a little.
But despite believing it, Esdeath not only wasn't afraid but 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 asking Bai Chen why he knew about her, did it matter?
After all, even something like the Chat Group had appeared.
Railgun: "Your reasoning is well-founded 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 sleep, I have class tomorrow!"
Spirit of Time: "Good night, Mikoto. But speaking of which, there's another new member who hasn't popped up yet."
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "Maybe he hasn't accepted yet. I'm going offline too. I have morning exercises and patrol early tomorrow."
Bai Chen: "Let's chat another time."
Spirit of Time: "Good night, Mr. Bai Chen."
After sending that message, Bai Chen went to sleep.
The next few days were spent practicing swordsmanship and mastering his Authorities.
In the later stages of the original work, Tony was able to use meteorites from outer space as a "sword," which was the result of developing his Authority to a certain extent.
So, Bai Chen now possessed a mountain of gold. To live better, he had to fully exploit this mountain of gold.
Besides that, Bai Chen's relationship with the two lolis, Liliana and Mariya Yuri, was also warming up.
Putting 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 Marquis whom Bai Chen had been waiting for had not arrived. Instead, good news came.
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 back to Bai Chen.
He followed Liliana to the storage room.
With the creak of metal bolts, the musty, ancient smell, accompanied by the air, wafted into his nose.
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 pleasant smile.
Because of the existence of Heretic Gods, there were quite a lot of scattered Holy Relics in 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 good amount of points.
He acted on his thoughts.
In front of Liliana and the others, he directly sold this pile of artifacts to the mall.
The onlookers' expressions were shocked.
Could such a large pile be collected all at once?
"Group Notification: Group member 'Bai Chen' made a sale, gaining 123 points."
"Group Notification: Group member 'Bai Chen' made a sale, gaining 98 points."
..."Group Notification: Group member 'Bai Chen' made a bulk sale, gaining 4396 points."
After Bai Chen sold everything, he found that his point balance had reached over six thousand.
He could completely do a ten-pull and still have some left over.
And the originally quiet Chat Group became lively again due to Bai Chen's series of actions.
