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

"Commander, your judgment is terrible! How could you bring in someone like this?"

Someone in the group spoke up.

"Yeah, yeah, Commander, how could you make a mistake again?"

"My comrade-in-arms, besides your excellent command skills, it seems you don't have any other special talents. You can't even tell if the other side is a newbie, yet you actually want a newbie to cooperate with us."

"How could we possibly entrust our backs to a newcomer? Commander, you're up to no good!"

Immediately, discontented voices began to emanate from within the group.

Yukinoshita felt unprecedented pressure.

In the first place, we shouldn't have chosen Tsukikawa Shu as our partner. That guy is clearly disrespectful and doesn't know his limits. He's also prone to making boastful claims without thinking.

"Commander, we won't cooperate with this kind of guy."

"Yeah, yeah, and surrounded by so many women... he's obviously no good!"

"They're all a burden; our guild might as well just farm the ruins themselves."

……

The people in the group started protesting again.

Meanwhile, those waiting for the ruins to open were so bored that they gathered around and watched with great interest the internal struggles and verbal battles within the Blue Wolf Gang.

At the same time, there was much discussion and a great deal of excitement.

However, most of them sided with Lowell, joining in the sarcastic remarks.

The rest remained silent, observing the changing situation, or were simply a group of people who found amusement in watching others suffer losses, having nothing better to do.

"Level 60, huh? You really dare to say that."

"Yes, if you said it was level 40, we might actually believe it."

"So what if he's level 40? Don't forget that our Lord Lowell is capable of challenging opponents of higher levels. Level 40 is nothing to him!"

"Hahaha, that's for sure, Greatsword Master is invincible! He must be the strongest player in our Otherworld."

……

"We're not cooperating anymore, we're not cooperating anymore..."

Yukinoshita could only smile and reply, "We can clear it ourselves, yes, we definitely can!"

But when she said those words, Yukinoshita Haruno had some other thoughts in her mind.

Although Tsukikawa Shuu claims to be level 60, he's probably lying... but his strength is undeniable. This powerful figure isn't as strong as he claims, but it's certainly enough to rely on.

"I'm sorry, cooperation is impossible, but there's only one road to the ruins, so perhaps we can go together on the way," Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly said with an apologetic smile.

"Smooth sailing is fine, but cooperation is out of the question," Tsukikawa Shuu said quietly.

"Well, you can arrange it yourself, don't worry about us."

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled, then patted Yukinoshita Haruno on the shoulder and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, come to me. Don't feel shy or embarrassed. Tsukikawa-kun may be a bit willful, but he's still a good person... If all else fails, I'm here for you."

Her tone sounded light and cheerful, but Yukinoshita Haruno detected a hint of earnest advice in it.

Chapter 220

"Haha... I will. Definitely!" Yukinoshita Haruno grasped the hand of her teacher and best friend.

With Hiratsuka Shizuka's connection, I'm sure I'll be able to easily curry favor with her.

The so-called "successfully clinging to a powerful figure" refers to joining or partially joining Tsukikawa Shu's team through the relationship with Hiratsuka Shizuka without sacrificing one's looks, body, or forming a contract with Tsukikawa Shu.

The meeting between the two teams ended unhappily, and no one believed Tsukikawa Shu's words.

Everyone thought Tsukikawa Shu was bragging, including Lowell and his group, and they stopped exchanging words.

Then, it was time to wait for the ruins to open.

When the system timer expired, accompanied by a rumbling roar, the vast and ancient cemetery in front of us suddenly began to shake.

Dust billowed up, and the ground suddenly sank, creating a large crater.

"The entrance has appeared!"

With a shout from the person in front, the crowd's emotions rose, and everyone rubbed their hands together, ready to go in and loot the treasure.

"Let's go!"

Lowell raised his hand. Then he stepped forward, walking towards the tomb in his heavy armor.

Everyone followed behind Lowell, advancing alongside the strongest player in their eyes.

Arriving at the large cave in the ruins, Lowell crouched down and peered into the cave entrance, looking left and right, seemingly searching for something.

The people following behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

The strongest players didn't go down at this point. They naturally didn't dare to go down without permission, having no idea what dangers lay below.

After observing for a while, Lowell still couldn't figure it out. But he still needed to take a closer look, even if he couldn't understand anything...

Snapped!

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared beside him, startling Lowell so much that his face was almost burned.

"What are you doing!" he shouted angrily.

Then, Tsukikawa Shu snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame fell from his fingertip into the cave below, burning at the bottom and illuminating the surrounding cold, bluish-green walls and ground.

"The flames can burn, which means the carbon dioxide concentration is normal, so we can go down." Tsukikawa Shu smiled. "As for traps and relic monsters, I think we'll have to wait until later to find them."

"Who asked you these questions? I already know all of this."

Lowell was both angry and annoyed.

But there's nothing we can do about Tsukikawa Shu.

He snorted coldly, looked around again, and only after confirming that there was no danger as Tsukikawa Shu had said did he jump down and land perfectly.

Then, a group of underlings jumped down, followed by a vast army of explorers of the ruins.

There was no light beneath the ruins, so everyone began to use their unique abilities.

Some people found a flashlight, which was able to maintain a faint light.

Some people found lamps or other lighting tools, but they were not convenient to use. Some of the lamps were still flickering. They were standing by the roadside, patting the lamps to calm them down, and verbally abusing them to encourage them to stand up again.

However, after only a few shots, the lamp stopped working, going from flickering to complete darkness.

Those who didn't find any lighting tools made their own torches and followed the group. Those who didn't know how to make torches simply took a twig and burned it for light.

The group was in complete chaos.

They followed Lowell in a bustling crowd.

For a stretch of road leading to the ruins, there was only one main path, and the group proceeded together in a large procession.

Tsukikawa Shuu and his group weren't in a hurry. They followed behind Lowell, but kept a certain distance from the crowd in front.

Yukino was originally walking in front, but when she looked behind her, she noticed that Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others were walking together, and they clearly didn't want to stay with the Blue Wolf Gang.

So, after thinking about it, she finally stopped and waited for Tsukikawa Shu and the others to come up before walking with them.

Yukino looked at the girls surrounding Tsukikawa Shu once more. "Are these all your wives?"

“Not bad,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Hmm..." Yukinoshita Haruno pondered.

"Do you think this goes against common sense and the law?"

Tsukikawa Shu smiled and said, "Anyway, these kinds of things will only get more and more outrageous and complicated."

Looking at the beautiful women surrounding Tsukikawa Hiiragi, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say anything, but walked over to Hiratsuka Shizuka's side.

Tsukikawa Shuu carried a high-end flashlight with a powerful beam in her backpack.

After taking out the flashlight and turning it on, the bright light instantly illuminated everything.

"Wow, my dear, you actually had a trick up your sleeve," Fujiwara Chika said with a grin.

Tsukikawa Shuu was essentially embracing both of his wives while leading them forward.

……

Finally seeing her familiar best friend, Yukino Yukinoshita naturally took Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand and walked with her.

As for her own team... Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to escape as soon as possible, but unfortunately she was just a weakling and had to rely on others to survive.

Yukino Yukinoshita will not easily give up on her current team until she finds one that can accept her.

"When exactly did you get together with Tsukikawa Shuu?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked quietly. "How long have you two been dating?"

“Hmm… to be precise, it’s the third day since I entered the inner world,” Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile.

"What about dating time?"

"no!"

"Are you being this hasty?"
