"That's it for the Elixir. I'll let Komatsu inform you when I've prepared the ingredients. Then we'll clear the money and goods at once."
"Possible."
"Let's talk about other things. Well, we can also use some of those Panaceas."
"No problem."
Faced with such a generous buyer as Ichiryu, Takumi showed great enthusiasm and actively recommended various specialties. But unfortunately, Ichiryu was not very interested in other things.
The reason was also very simple: the technology in the Toriko world is relatively developed, and there is no shortage of functional products. In contrast, the technology in Dimension City does not have many advantages. Although the functions of some alchemy props are magical, they are not necessities.
Naturally, Ichiryu would not be willing to waste money indiscriminately. He might as well keep the money and invest in some public welfare projects. The result is that, in addition to the Elixir and Panacea, Ichiryu just wants more fortified ingredients.
This made Takumi slightly disappointed, but he was not discouraged and took the initiative to propose a cooperation project to Ichiryu while the iron was hot.
...
"What? Let people from your Dimension City join the IGO?"
Ichiryu looked at Takumi with an expression that said, "Did I hear him wrong?" Setsuno and Jiro on the side also did the same, and Komatsu was slightly thoughtful.
"It's just a temporary secondment, similar to temporary workers," Takumi nodded and explained.
Ichiryu pondered for a moment and asked: "Why? Is this of any benefit to you?"
He really couldn't understand what Takumi was doing. Even if it's just temporary workers, will it be of any benefit to Dimension City to second people to join the IGO? No matter how efficient these people are at work, the salary they earn is definitely not even a fraction of this transaction.
"This is naturally beneficial, but not because of the salary, but because of combat experience and training."
Yes, the project proposed by Takumi to Ichiryu is to let people from Dimension City come over, register with the IGO, and become Gourmet Hunters directly under the IGO. Then let these people accept the IGO's internal tasks to capture designated ingredients, and the profits will be divided according to the share.
The reason why Takumi came up with this project was mainly because of the experience resources in this world. Many of the fantasy ingredients in this world are ferocious beasts, and they are also guarded by ferocious beasts. To capture most of the fantasy ingredients, a battle is indispensable.
This is also an important resource for Dimension City with the Falna system, which has perfectly inherited the blessings of the gods from the DanMachi world, and can be used to improve the girls' level and strength.
In other words, let the Toriko world become the new leveling area of Dimension City!
There are currently three leveling areas in Dimension City where you can gain experience. The first is the Dungeon in the DanMachi world, followed by the Danger Beasts in the Akame ga Kill! world, and finally the wild monsters in the KonoSuba world.
The income from these three leveling areas is already a bit insufficient for the current Dimension City. But this is different from the issue of just upgrading; it's about the secondary value income generated by leveling.
Take the Dungeon in the world of DanMachi as an example. If you kill monsters in it, the secondary value is just to get some magic stones and materials with ultra-low drop rates. Before, when Takumi didn't create the Infinite Magic Furnace, Dimension City still needed these magic stones as energy sources, but now that there is an Infinite Magic Furnace, there is no need for them at all.
Coupled with the problem of low material drop rates and the fact that you have to go through the maze every time you go to the Dungeon, it is very time-consuming and laborious. This has gradually made the leveling area function of the Dungeon abandoned, and now few people are willing to go there.
The remaining two are either inefficient or have low secondary value. Hunting Danger Beasts can yield good material returns, but it is time-consuming to find them. Wild monsters in the KonoSuba world are everywhere, so it isn't as time-consuming, and the material returns are average (better than Dungeons), but there are too few elite monsters, the combat intensity is not enough, and the experience returns are not high.
But there is no such problem in the Toriko world. There are a large number of powerful beasts here, so there is no lack of goals for gaining experience. At the same time, the fantasy ingredients that can be obtained by hunting these beasts are also very practical resources.
At least for now, fantasy ingredients are the main resource for Takumi to improve his strength. And if Gourmet Cells become popularized in Dimension City in the future, the demand will rise even more, and it is entirely possible that they will become a kind of hard currency that is necessary.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the experience gains and secondary value gains here are much higher than the existing three leveling districts and have greater potential. Therefore, even if Ichiryu does not agree to this secondment cooperation, Takumi will still send people here to gain experience.
The reason for proposing this secondment cooperation form is mainly because Takumi wants to get some convenience from the IGO organization. After all, it is better than letting his girls run around blindly here and risk all kinds of dangers to find targets.
If you cooperate with the IGO, you can receive tasks directly from within the organization. Not only will there be intelligence support, but there will also be considerate pick-up and drop-off services, which can save a lot of trouble and effectively reduce risks.
Because the IGO must have carefully examined the task before releasing it. It is impossible to give an impossible task and let the girls in Dimension City die. Not only does this do no good, it will also offend Dimension City. With such cooperation from the IGO, Takumi can feel more confident about letting more girls come here to level up.
"Combat experience and training?"
"That's right, our Dimension City has a unique system for improving strength..."
Takumi explained to a few people the basic principles of the Falna system.
"That's it, I understand."
Ichiryu understood it as soon as he heard it and understood why Takumi proposed this project. He immediately smiled heartily and waved his hand: "No problem, I agree to this project."
Isn't it just that he wants to take advantage of the IGO's local resources? It's easy to say. Moreover, this is also good for the IGO. The more powerful Gourmet Hunters voluntarily join, the better for the IGO. As for sharing the harvest? This is not a problem, because many Gourmet Hunters under the IGO also use this kind of cooperation mechanism.
"Then thank you very much, President Ichiryu."
Seeing this, Takumi smiled and raised his wine glass: "Here, to wish us a happy cooperation, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
"Hahahaha, easy to say."
Clink~
After a glass of wine, all the projects for this cooperation were completed. The two of them exchanged a few more polite words, and Takumi stood up.
"Well, let's stop here today. Thanks for the hospitality. It's almost time for me to go back."
"Okay, take your time, I won't see you off. Let's have dinner together next time."
Ichiryu didn't try much to keep him. After all, the meal was over and the business chat was done. It was almost time for him to go back. There was still a lot of work waiting for him at the IGO.
"Well, definitely next time."
Takumi nodded, and said goodbye to Setsuno, Jiro, and Komatsu one by one. Under the gaze of the four people, he opened the Dimensional Gate and returned to Dimension City.
