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

Tsukikawa Shuu: "We can travel together, but cooperation is out of the question. I'll naturally buy information from you when I need it."

Yukinoshita: "Are you really not going to cooperate with your sister? We've been traveling together with her all along."

Tsukikawa Shuu: "Goodbye."

After that, Tsukikawa Shuu stopped paying attention to Yukinoshita Haruno.

The other party will definitely send more messages later, but Tsukikawa Shu will ignore them all.

"What's wrong?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.

“There’s someone I know who wanted to collaborate with us, but I refused,” Tsukikawa Shuu said. “It’s Yukinoshita Haruno, the older sister of your former student, Yukinoshita Yukino.

Then, he looked at Ichika Nijika, who was fast asleep beside him, stroked her hair, and explained the general situation to everyone again.

"Um……"

After listening to Tsukikawa Shu's description, everyone fell into a state of deep thought. This left Tsukikawa Shu completely puzzled.

"Yono actually came too," Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed. "It's just a pity she wasn't with us."

Then, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickened her pace and came to Tsukikawa Shuu in front of her, putting her hands on her hips and looking at him.

"Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity?" Hiratsuka Shizuka questioned, then rubbed her forehead with her hand. "Yuno is no less capable than Yukino, why didn't you cherish it?"

"Thanks, but the Yukinoshita sisters are both formidable, why should I waste my energy chasing after them?" Tsukikawa Shu shrugged.

"You guy..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was also helpless; Tsukikawa Shu was just that kind of person.

Want him to pursue girls? Impossible. Pursuing girls is a bottomless pit. You have no idea whether the money, time, and emotions you invest will be reciprocated. Some people even enjoy being fawned over without any real return; it's just pure manipulation from beginning to end.

“I can understand Yukino, after all, she’s not a player from the other world, but Haruno has already come in, so why are you still like this?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka reached out and poked Tsukikawa Shu's cheek with her finger. "Just stop making me worry. Isn't it a good thing that Haruno is joining us? You have another talent, and our team can continue to grow."

"We are not in a hurry to expand our team right now."

Tsukikawa Shu smiled, reached out and gently grasped Hiratsuka Shizuka's fingers, then put them down and kneaded them in her hand.

"Moreover, Yang Nai is actually not an easy woman to deal with."

“I know, I wouldn’t recommend an easy woman to you.” Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled. “At least, she’s still a virgin.”

“You know quite a lot about this,” Tsukikawa Shu said.

“Of course, she can also be considered my…best friend,” Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile.

"You two have really hit it off, going from teacher and student to best friends," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

“That’s right, we keep in touch all the time, okay?” Hiratsuka Shizuka said. “It’s just that I’ve been busy with things in the other world lately, so I’ve neglected to communicate with her. I just didn’t expect her to come in too, no wonder she hasn’t been looking for me recently.”

"Don't worry, I'll be the matchmaker! I'll definitely get her into our team!" Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Tsukikawa Shu on the shoulder, her tone like that of a loyal brother who would go to great lengths for her.

Seeing the expectation and eager hope in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes, Tsukikawa Shu could only sigh.

She doesn't dislike Yukinoshita Haruno; Yukinoshita Haruno is a pretty good girl. However, Tsukikawa Shuu still won't easily accept people she doesn't understand or can't comprehend, nor will she accept those who can't understand her.

It's best for couples to be considerate and understanding of each other.

"Anyway, just do your best, Hiratsuka-sensei." Tsukikawa Shuuya patted Hiratsuka Shizuka on the shoulder, as if returning a gesture to a brother.

"What? You don't trust your teacher at all." Hiratsuka Shizuka said, one hand on her hip and pouting.

At this moment, Ichiji Nijika groggily woke up from her sleep, and then, upon closer inspection, she realized that everyone had already gotten up.

"Whoa!"

She suddenly sat up from Tsukikawa Shu's arms, looking around at the people who were already dressed, somewhat flustered, "I...did I oversleep?"

"That's how it is the first time, everyone's been through it."

Fujiwara Chika laughed and then, with a gossipy look on her face, asked, "Hey, how does it feel to be lying in someone else's arms?"

"It's...it's alright." Ichiji Nijika rubbed her hands, somewhat at a loss. "It's fine."

"She's probably too excited to sleep," Yui Yuigahama said with a smile.

"Ugh..." Ichi Nijika also felt very embarrassed.

I can't exactly say that I felt very at ease last night, so at ease that I even wanted to continue being nervous with Tsukikawa Shuu.

Chapter 215

"Youth."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed to herself, then silently lit a cigarette, looked up at the sky by the window at a 45-degree angle, and gently exhaled, like someone with a story to tell.

"Okay, stop teasing me."

Finally, Tsukikawa Shuu stepped in, temporarily stopping the girls from continuing their pranks.

"The dungeon will open in 24 hours. At our current speed, it should take us just enough time to get there from here," Tsukikawa Shu said.

While it's said that anyone can enter the ruins and treasures without restrictions, the biggest limitations are distance and time.

It was indeed a system notification, but getting there wasn't easy.

Tsukikawa Shu and her group were not afraid of the monsters along the way, which is why they were able to arrive before the event started. Other players were much slower than Tsukikawa Shu in terms of travel speed, let alone the ability to travel over mountains and rivers to join in the event.

The high-level monsters they encountered along the way were enough to kill them.

Therefore, this ruin has now essentially become the exclusive treasure of the towns near it.

Without further ado, after making preparations, the group headed towards the location indicated by the system.

……

……

Meanwhile, some distance from Yuelong Town, there is another area consisting of beginner towns.

This area is called the San River Basin, and it consists of several starting towns built around a large river.

Of course, this is a system-generated name, and it's also a place name within the system.

Meanwhile, a large group of people were marching towards the ruins and treasures.

They were all players from the vicinity of the Ancient Tomb of the Saints; those from a slightly farther distance were also drawn in by the system's announcement.

This is a treasure trove! Even if you follow the strong into it, you should still be able to get a piece of the pie.

So, basically all the players with decent skills set off.

Many of them formed alliances, since the weak must band together when facing the guardians of the ruins.

Along the way, these alliances kept shouting and attracting more players to join. Some teams had even gathered two or three hundred people, which was like a small army.

However, the pace of the group varied, but even the fastest person was far less agile and swift than Tsukikawa Shu and his companions.

Besides the varying levels and equipment, there are also some personnel who are not very fast in their actions.

Especially noteworthy is that there is a heavily armed personnel among them.

He was clad in heavy black armor and carried a greatsword. As he walked, the armor clanged against each other, making a clattering sound. His steps were heavy, and with each step, those around him could almost feel the earth tremble slightly.

"It's the greatsword Lowell, it really is him."

"What? The giant sword is here too?! Now the conquest of the ruins is practically guaranteed."

"Lowell! It's that man!"

"The Greatsword of Maple Leaf Village! The Strongest Player!"

"Did you know? He was a man who dared to challenge level 40 monsters when he only reached level 30! His strength is beyond our reach!"

……

People who saw this tall figure along the way were all amazed.

Lowell the Greatsword, he's the strongest player here.

He walked along surrounded by players, enjoying countless praises and accolades.

Some fans wanted to get autographs, but they were all stopped by Lowell's henchmen.

Celebrities naturally have to maintain their celebrity status; they're not people that ordinary players can get close to.

It is quite obvious that Lowell's team is the strongest team in this area, a top-notch team!

Within the team, Lowell's level had already surpassed level 30, and he even personally led the team to challenge a level 40 monster. With everyone's efforts, they finally defeated the boss who was ten levels higher than him, and his reputation soared from then on.

At the end of this group followed some figures who didn't seem as conspicuous as Lowell.

Yukino was among them.

She maintained a smile throughout, even though she had long been ignored by those around her.

She built the team and recruited the players, but as more and more players joined and their skills improved, some problems gradually emerged.

For example, no one pays attention to her or cares about her as the group leader anymore.

This is also related to Yukinoshita's skills and profession.

She's purely a support character, and one without any combat abilities at that.
