In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

"Tsukikawa-kun really hasn't fallen for me?" Yukinoshita asked.

“Some people are far more alluring than you,” Tsukikawa Shuu said calmly. “One of them is that Shizuka you mentioned.”

Since signing the contract, Fujiwara Chika and Hiratsuka Shizuka have been trying all sorts of ways to seduce her. Yukinoshita Haruno's seemingly erotic but actually suggestive appearance and behavior are actually something the two of them have already done. What they want is this feeling of youth and sexiness coexisting.

"Xiao Jing can actually play so fancy games?"

This surprised Yukino Yukinoshita.

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka is a very mature woman, in Yukinoshita Haruno's memory, she is still the gentle and approachable Hiratsuka Shizuka, whose dress and behavior are quite simple and reserved, and who is also very lazy.

Do all women change drastically after marriage? This touches on a blind spot in Yukinoshita Haruno's knowledge.

"Then let's get down to business," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile, no longer dwelling on the matter.

The waiter also brought Yukino Yukinoshita hot coffee and cake.

"How does Xiaojing feel? Were you very unrestrained in bed?"

"Have you released all the desires you've accumulated over the past thirty years?"

Just when Tsukikawa thought Yukinoshita Haruno was really going to get down to business, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly asked about these things.

Tsukikawa Hiiragi almost choked.

This woman really doesn't play by the rules.

"You only have 50 minutes," Tsukikawa Shuu casually reminded her.

"I know, I know, there's plenty of time. Just kidding." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled sweetly.

"One of the reasons why Tsukikawa-kun doesn't want to join forces with me is because he doesn't trust me, right?"

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and said, "I came here this time to give Tsukikawa-kun a heads-up, so that we can all get to know each other better and make future cooperation easier."

Then, Yukinoshita Haruno began to introduce herself.

"I wasn't among the first players to enter the Otherworld, but I was one of the earlier ones."

"My profession is 'Prospector,' and I'm currently level 25."

"As for the skills, you've probably guessed it. They're related to reconnaissance, allowing you to detect situations at a distance and find resources. And after exploring to a certain extent, they can even generate a detailed map."

"However, I am not good at fighting. The reason I survived is entirely due to these exploration skills."

"It's clear you still lack long-range detection capabilities. How about it, are you interested in cooperating with your sister?"

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled at Tsukikawa Shuu, and after introducing herself, she picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Tsukikawa Hiiragi thought for a moment.

Yukino's skills and class are indeed what I'm currently lacking. Having a player like her to cooperate with will definitely make future exploration much easier.

"So, you want to use our fighting strength?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"Yes."

Yukino Yukinoshita laughed, then added with some regret, "It's a pity that my sister's skill is wasted. Without strong military support, she could only watch those treasures and resource points drooling over them."

"You mean you have a lot of resource points right now?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

“Of course,” Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

Tsukikawa Shuu looked at Yukinoshita Haruno for a while and confirmed that she was not lying.

Yukino Yukinoshita is a shrewd person and would not trade false information for her. As a player in the Otherworld, she should know the consequences of fooling a powerful player, especially a support character like herself who has little combat ability.

A wealth of treasures—that's certainly a temptation, and it certainly makes them very qualified to cooperate.

"Let me take a look at the map," Tsukikawa Shuu said calmly.

"What? After reading this, you want to go treasure hunting in the treasure area by yourself, right?"

Yukinoshita smiled and refused Tsukikawa Shu's request. She then extended her slender finger and gently tapped Tsukikawa Shu's forehead. "I know you have an exceptional memory. If you look at me like that, I'm going to lose an important bargaining chip."

“Yes, you are indeed a difficult woman to deal with,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, Tsukikawa-kun." Yukinoshita Haruno maintained her impeccable manners, but with a mischievous smile.

“You can provide specific data on the treasures you’ve discovered,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Hmm... All the treasure guardians are level 30 or above, and for some treasures with abundant resources, the guardians are level 60 or above."

Yukinoshita smiled. "So, Tsukikawa-kun, do you have the courage to take on the challenge?"

"A level 60 guardian." Tsukikawa Shuu was pleasantly surprised.

I've never been able to find a suitable monster to test my legendary sword skills. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?

“It can be done,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Ha! Tsukikawa-kun seems quite confident."

Yukinoshita lay on the table, her hands folded, her chin resting on her arm, watching Tsukikawa Shu with great interest. "Tsukikawa-kun really keeps surprising me."

"Tsukikawa Shuu's current level is above 40... no, it must be above 50, right?"

"With Tsukikawa Shu's abilities, plus his other wives, he must be able to say something like 'I can handle it'."

"With such a high level, I'm even starting to think about marrying you."

Yukinoshita Haruno laughed, "How about it? Let's cooperate with your older sister. If we work together, we'll definitely be able to stay number one in the underworld forever, and we'll share these treasures together."

"It sounds wonderful."

However, Tsukikawa Shuu just smiled faintly.

"Then let's form an alliance with my sister. As for resources, well, we can split them equally," Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

"But! I refuse!"

However, Tsukikawa Shu refused outright.

"Eh?"

This time, it was Yukino's turn to be dumbfounded.

Chapter 194

"Why not cooperate? This should be beneficial to both of us!"

Yukinoshita stood up, quite surprised.

"You didn't tell me the whole truth, did you?" Tsukikawa Shuu said. "Why should I believe whatever you say?"

"Besides, you don't have much combat power, yet you're able to do quite well in the underworld. You must have had a decent team before, right? And I'm guessing there were quite a few of them. So, after we take down the treasure, am I supposed to negotiate with you and then divide it up?"

Tsukigawa Hiiragi said.

“We can split it 50/50, or you can take 60%,” Yukinoshita Haruno said somewhat anxiously.

"You're taking 40%? You really dare to ask for that much."

Tsukikawa Shuu smiled faintly, "You guessed that people of our rank only got 60%? Doesn't that just prove that your team is quite large and powerful? Otherwise, what gives you the right to negotiate with me?"

"..."

Haruno Yukinoshita's carefully laid plans were completely seen through.

She didn't tell Tsukikawa Shuu a lot of information; she did indeed have a very strong team behind her.

Furthermore, Yukino Yukinoshita herself lied about her level; she was actually only level 15, not level 25, and she wasn't among the first batch of players to enter the Otherworld.

She survived entirely because of a stroke of luck after leveling up; the system gifted her a job card and a surveying skill, which allowed her to find resources and avoid ferocious monsters.

Later, thanks to this skill, coupled with his inherent intelligence and high emotional intelligence, he built his own team.

Furthermore, as the team grew, they even recruited the strongest individuals from their own town...

Yukino Yukinoshita herself doesn't have much combat ability; her only strength is her exploration skill. Moreover, she's only level 15, and if her players find out, it might lead to a rebellion.

Therefore, in addition to this, Yukinoshita Haruno urgently needs to find a reliable ally.

However, she couldn't directly leave her original team and rely on Tsukikawa Shu, so she was trying to find a balance between the two.

"I...I have my own team, but they are all very reliable players who can definitely help you when exploring for treasure."

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "I also have two level 30 players in my team. If you think the others are holding us back, I won't bring any players who are too low level."

Why should we share a piece of the pie with you when it's something we can handle ourselves?

Tsukikawa Shu retorted coldly.

For Tsukikawa Shuu, the reason for not cooperating was much simpler.

Why should others share the spoils when you can handle things yourself with just a few members of your harem?

And this bunch of level 30 and 20 players, who are more trouble than they're worth, actually think they can take 40% of my business? They're dreaming.

"Are you so confident that you and a few others can get past the guards of an entire treasure trove?" Yukinoshita Haruno realized that she had seriously underestimated Tsukikawa Shuu.

Tsukikawa Shuu's confidence was completely unexpected. She originally thought that bringing up resources like a level 60 treasure would scare the other party into forming an alliance and cooperating with her.

As the leader of a team, Yukino Yukinoshita is beginning to feel that she can no longer control the high-level players below her. However, as a leader, she still has to lead her team to success.

This is precisely why she wanted her team members to participate in the treasure hunt, to get a share of the spoils, and then distribute them to the whole team. This was the only way to appease the team; otherwise, she would have the resources in her hands, only to have them handed over to others.
