Chapter 1916 The Gift of "Eternity": Personal Strength Surpasses Everything
Chapter 1916 The Gift of "Eternity": Personal Strength Surpasses Everything
Kasumi Shiko: "There is no way to earn points in the everyday world."
Xia Shizi: "Besides actively promoting the advancement of civilization's technology level and creating technologies that surpass modern civilization, which are then recognized as valuable by the chat group and thus recycled for points, the only other option is to participate in the Transmigrator Mission."
Kasumi Shiko: "But for transmigrator missions, let's not even talk about whether you'll be lucky enough to be selected; even if you are selected, if your strength isn't enough, you won't be able to get the mission percentage."
Xia Shizi: "Initially, there was a guarantee of 1% of the task percentage, but that guarantee has since been canceled."
Xia Shizi: "So, let's go borrow money."
Kasumigaoka Utaha said bluntly.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Lend me money?"
Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly taken aback when she saw Kasumigaoka Utaha's words.
Xia Shizi: "That's right, borrow money."
She repeated it affirmatively.
Xia Shizi: "Because we assume that each group member's world belongs to that member, the things in other group members' worlds also belong to that member. It's impossible to go to other group members' worlds to reclaim valuable resources from their worlds in order to gain points."
Kasumi Shiko: "This is the default rule."
Kasumi: "But there really is no way to get points in the everyday world. Even if you want to develop technology, you need enough points to exchange for technology and materials."
Xia Shizi: "Borrowing points is the best method."
Kasumi Shiko: "Borrowing, with interest, is like owing someone a favor, but it's the only way to develop your own world and gain points."
As someone who's been through it all, she knows all too well how difficult it is for members of the everyday world to get started in chat groups.
Although chat groups connect all the heavens, there are default rules and boundaries among them.
The prohibition against plundering resources from other member worlds protects the independence and ownership of each world, but it also means that people like Yukino Yukinoshita, who come from a "barren" everyday world, will find it difficult to earn their "first pot of gold."
Develop technology?
It's easy to say, but without start-up capital to acquire advanced knowledge and materials, it's all just empty talk.
Waiting for the time traveler's mission?
That's even more uncertain, entirely dependent on luck, and even if she were chosen, with her current strength, she would likely only be going on a "sightseeing" trip and wouldn't gain much substantial benefit.
Therefore, "borrowing" became the seemingly most direct and feasible approach.
Borrow points from group members who have already accumulated a certain amount of wealth or whose world has a stable source of points, using future benefits and a favor to exchange for the possibility of starting a business now.
Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a moment, clearly digesting and analyzing the proposal quickly.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I understand what you mean."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "By borrowing points, you can acquire initial capital to invest in your own or the world's development, and repay the principal and interest after generating profits."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "However, the recipients of the points, the interest rate, the repayment period, and most importantly, the choice of initial investment direction all require detailed evaluation and planning."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Furthermore, it also depends on whether someone is willing to lend points to a new member from the everyday world who has no collateral or guarantee yet."
Xia Shizi: "This is the only thing you don't need to worry about."
Xia Shizi: "Although it may be a bit harsh to say this, the truth is that the two of us in our daily lives are the 'poorest' people in the chat group."
Xia Shizi: "So, if you want to borrow, no group member will be stingy in lending out some points."
Xia Shizi: "Our initial plan actually only required 10,000 to 30,000 points to complete."
Xia Shizi: "Technically speaking, Angel Yan uploaded the basic technology for researching 'life-extending potions,' which is not expensive."
When this was mentioned, Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of emotion.
This is truly something to reflect on.
This technology was specifically developed by Angel Yan for chat group members. Although similar technology was available in the chat group store at the time, it was much more expensive. Angel Yan's version was only one-tenth the price of the original.
Furthermore, the materials have also been adapted for "geomorphic" use.
The key materials required are basically all known on Earth or can be synthesized using existing chemical and biological methods!
This means that as long as there is enough start-up capital to exchange for this technology and purchase some special materials that are necessary in the early stages to make the "master" or "seed", the subsequent large-scale production can be achieved entirely by relying on the Earth's local industrial system!
Kasumi Shiko: "The materials are all available on Earth, or can be industrially synthesized using existing technology chains, so it's not difficult to manufacture them."
Kasumi Shiko: "As for why it's a technology related to lifespan, I'm sure you know."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice carried a hint of deeper meaning.
She believed that with Yukino Yukinoshita's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for her to understand the considerations behind this.
Why lifespan, and not other technologies?
The members who joined the chat group came from very different backgrounds.
Of course, there are beings like Angel Yan and Boros, whose worlds contain immortal species, or whose individual power is sufficient to easily transcend lifespan limitations.
But many more members, including many from the supernatural world, may be able to gain long lives through their own power or chance, but what about their relatives, friends, and loved ones?
Not everyone has the ability or the willingness to take all the people they cherish on the path to immortality.
Resources, methods, and even the rules of the world can all become obstacles.
Even for the most powerful individuals, granting immortality to others on a large scale is no easy task, let alone bestowing it upon strangers.
However, longevity, or rather, an unusually long lifespan, often comes with a heavy burden for an individual with emotional connections.
You care about your parents, your partner, and your friends; but your parents also have relatives and friends they care about besides you; your friends also have their own parents and partners.
Imagine if you had endless time all to yourself, but could only watch helplessly as your parents grew old, your best friends passed away, and your lover turned to dust, and everything you were once familiar with weathered away in the river of time. Such "eternity" is less a blessing than a slow, agonizing torture.
The loneliness and pain it brings are enough to crack even the most steadfast heart, and may even lead to a sense of disgust towards "life" itself.
So, what is the most ideal solution?
It's not just about making oneself or a very small number of people live forever, but about trying to promote and create a world where "lifespan" is no longer a source of anxiety and limitation.
At the very least, it allows the people I care about to enjoy enough time to spend together leisurely, experiencing many more years together.
If possible, it could even benefit a wider group, fundamentally changing how a civilization perceives and uses "time".
Therefore, a "life extension technology" that can be popularized and industrialized becomes extremely important.
Moreover, when individual lifespans are significantly extended, the learning cycle, scientific research cycle, and the way social experience is accumulated may undergo revolutionary changes, potentially propelling the entire civilization into a new stage of development.
Yukino Yukinoshita listened quietly, her eyes sparkling with contemplation.
She fully understood the help that Kasumigaoka Utaha, or rather, Tenshi Hiko and some of the seniors in the chat group had given to the chat group members.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I understand."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I will communicate with my sister and parents. My personal abilities and experience in business operations, resource integration, and large-scale industrialization are indeed limited."
After all, he's just a high school student; what experience could he possibly have in this area?
Even if she had experience, she probably wouldn't be willing to get involved in this kind of thing, for the sake of wealth and power.
But the mother must have been happy; she had always hoped to elevate the Yukinoshita clan to even greater heights.
Faced with something that could change the entire world and the fate of humanity, a mother's ambition should provide immense motivation.
She was well aware of her family's power and understood what this "world-changing industry" meant for a political dynasty.
It's not just about wealth, but also about unparalleled influence and a voice in society.
Kasumi Shiko: "Regarding the writing of business plans, skills for communicating with family, and the initial setup of the lab, I have some established experience that I can share with you as a reference."
Xia Shizi: "Although the details differ due to differences in identity, the overall framework is the same."
Kasumi Shiko: "Besides that, you need to change your mindset, Yukinoshita."
Kasumi Shiko: "With a chat group, you are no longer the 'second young lady of the Yukinoshita family' who could only act within the established rules."
Xia Shizi: "Whether it's your mother or your sister, the methods they are accustomed to are still those of ordinary people. But you are only ordinary now. Once you have points, you will no longer be."
Kasumi Shiko: "You, and indeed the entire Yukinoshita family, do not need to follow the rules, but rather create them."
Under normal circumstances, both in the business world and in the political arena, cooperation and mutual benefit are valued.
Although Yukinoshita has mastered this technology, they still choose to cooperate until Yukinoshita has enough power, fearing that they cannot reap the benefits.
That's nothing, it's just another method, it just requires patience for a while.
However, Yukino Yukinoshita can choose another method.
Xia Shizi: "First, use the borrowed points to produce the first batch of finished products, even if it's just a very small production run at the laboratory level; then, return them to the chat group to obtain the first stable income from points."
Kasumi Shiko: "Use this profit to directly exchange for something that will give you personal 'power'."
Kasumi Shiko: "When your personal strength is enough to disregard conventional military force, and you can even single-handedly take on an entire nation..."
Xia Shizi: "All worries and all covetousness will disappear."
Kasumi Shiko: "At that time, you can choose to implement your plan in any way you like."
Kasumi Shiko: "Before absolute power, all worldly forces and thoughts are nothing but dust; they may have ideas, but for you who possess power, those ideas are meaningless and need not be cared about."
Kasumigaoka Utaha is very experienced in this regard.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that because she already possessed the necessary strength before the official start, the execution was actually much simpler.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I understand."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Thank you for your guidance, Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Yukino Yukinoshita sincerely thanked Kasumigaoka Utaha.
An ordinary group admin said, "Seeing this scene, I suddenly realized how fast time flies."
An ordinary group owner: "Unbeknownst to me, even Shiyu has become a senior."
The ordinary group owner said, "Well, that's not quite right. After all, Shiyu joined the chat group quite early, but she really doesn't have much of an ability to guide others when it comes to earning points."
An ordinary group admin: "This should be the first time, right?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha joined the chat group quite early, around the same time as Aizen.
However, because it is the everyday world, points are scarce, while Umaru, who also comes from the everyday world, got rid of her dependence on points very early on because of her good luck.
The group members who joined later either had stable channels for earning points or possessed vast resources to earn points.
It was only now, with the addition of three people from the everyday world—Yukino Yukinoshita, Kazusa Touma, and Setsuna Ogiso—that she escaped the bottom of the rankings.
Xia Shizi: "."
Xia Shizi: "What can I do?"
Kasumi Shiko: "Although they both come from the everyday world, Kayaba Akihiko and Asuna's worlds are far more advanced than modern civilization in terms of virtual online games, and they can exchange points for them."
Kasumi Shiko: "The world of Conan, Ai Haibara, and Kaito Kuroba doesn't follow science, it follows Conan's philosophy. Besides Professor Agasa's technology, there are also anti-aging drugs that can earn points."
Kasumi Utako: "I finally joined the pure everyday world of Hachiman Hikigaya, but it turns out that his world is a fusion of the worlds of Oregairu, Miko Yotsuya, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Not only are there supernatural elements, but there are also quite a few things that can be recycled into points."
Kasumi Shiko: "And then time travelers appeared."
Xia Shizi: "Although Bai Xuan eliminated them, resulting in the absence of cursed spirits for a period of time, I also received tens of millions of points from Bai Xuan as a result."
Xia Shizi: "It's so tough."
Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed upon seeing Su Yunqing's words.
There are actually quite a few people in the chat group's everyday world. Asuna, Kayaba Akihiko, Kuroba Kaito, Conan, and Kobayashi's worlds can all be considered everyday worlds, but their worlds have methods for earning points.
Kobayashi's world even contains dragons, magic, and gods.
Only her! Only her world has nothing to do with the extraordinary, and there is no way to obtain points!
