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

"Hahaha, the winner takes all. It's obvious that if we follow Lord Lowell, we'll be the winners in the end."

...,

The group continued their discussion.

……

The group continued forward and finally entered the dangerous area of the ancient tomb.

The first guards at the entrance were some very weak skeleton soldiers.

They were wearing tattered clothes and lying on the ground. When they sensed the approaching creatures, they got up one by one, shook their bones, and pulled out rusty blades and shields from the soil.

"Everyone, be careful!"

"Rowell shouted from the front."

Then, he took the lead, picked up his greatsword and charged out, immediately cutting down the two skeleton soldiers leading the charge.

"Kill them!"

Lowell's fighting spirit inspired others, and the others rushed forward, unleashing a barrage of skills at the skeleton soldiers, followed by melee players charging in for hand-to-hand combat.

Along the way, various spells and arrows continued to provide support.

However, there were simply too many people, too many different professions, and no coordination among them. Those who rushed in for melee combat were more or less hit.

Some were thick-skinned and only cried out in pain after being hit by an arrow, while others were struck by magic and lay on the ground howling in agony.

It was a mess, but we managed to wipe out the dozens of skeleton soldiers we encountered.

"What's the big deal? With Lord Lowell leading the way, how could we not clear the level?" The former fanboy laughed heartily.

That posture not only showed pride, but also a hint of smugness.

Meanwhile, Tsukikawa Shu was looking through the information that Yukinoshita Haruno had given him.

While Yukino Yukinoshita's data was indeed very detailed, her detection of the level was not very accurate; she could only obtain a rough range.

For example, these skeleton minions are given levels ranging from 1 to 10.

"The lowest-level skeletons, only level 5, what are these people arguing about?" Tsukikawa Shuu didn't quite understand. Was it really worth cheering to rush in and defeat a group of level 5 minions?

Chapter 223

"The level difference is still quite large, but it doesn't matter."

At first, Tsukikawa Shu thought that such a large data gap was because there were elite monsters hidden among them, but now, judging from the overwhelming attack of everyone, that was not the case at all.

This difference in level is indeed nothing to Tsukikawa Shuu.

But for others, the problem might be much bigger. High-level players can challenge opponents a level above them, but...

"Can Yang's detective skills be upgraded without resources?" Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Probably."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said from the side, then reached out and poked Tsukikawa Shu's cheek with her finger, "He's also my student, so don't be too harsh on him."

"Didn't we already give her some preferential treatment?" Tsukikawa Shu smiled. "Even though the intelligence was flawed, I still gave her enough funds to develop independently, as well as a complete set of equipment."

"Okay, thank you too." Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and pinched Tsukikawa Shu's cheek.

“She seems to be having some trouble in that team,” Tsukikawa Shu said.

"It's clear that the two sides aren't getting along very well." Hiratsuka Shizuya frowned.

When Yukino reached the Otherworld, she was lucky enough to awaken her reconnaissance skills and profession, which allowed her to avoid the monster-infested areas and find food and resources to survive.

However, although it can survive the early game, it starts to lose its strength in the later mid-game.

The players around me who are able to survive are getting stronger and stronger, and low-level monsters are becoming increasingly difficult to find. My experience is not increasing, and resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

In this situation, one must rely on other strong players to survive, team up with them, use one's scouting abilities to gain the protection of the strong, and develop by relying on the strong.

Yukino Yukinoshita did a great job. She even created her own team, took the initiative, and was able to smoothly get through the early stage and the middle stage, which still has more than a month to go.

But the further you go, the more exhausted you become.

This is the underworld, where leaders ultimately need to possess considerable military strength. Simply relying on brilliant decisions and leadership will only attract the covetous eyes of others.

Why not seize power with just one slash?

Especially now that the team has grown quite large and its reputation among players in the surrounding area is increasing, more and more people are coming to join, and the value that the team can obtain is also rising accordingly.

At first, the team members were all happy and supported their leader. But gradually, as Yukinoshita's skills fell behind the others and she could only be used as a tool for exploration, some team members began to feel dissatisfied.

Even though Yukino had already given away most of the profits to them at this point, it still wasn't enough.

They want leadership of the team and control all the benefits.

If things continue to deteriorate, Yukino Yukinoshita will either be kicked out of the team or become a plaything for the other members. After all, she is a beautiful woman, and she can provide exploration services for free while becoming a plaything. Why not?

The people in the team have already started to have this idea. In order to maintain her status, Yukino Yukinoshita either runs away and encounters all sorts of misfortunes outside, or she may even face more terrible abuse than she is now after joining another team.

They can either stay, strengthen their own power, and continue to maintain their leadership.

Yukino Yukinoshita is not a woman who is willing to admit defeat. After she knows that her strength has been greatly improved, she will probably choose to stay and not give up the team she has worked so hard to build.

"In short, if she runs into trouble, she can ask me for help," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

He and Yukinoshita Haruno are not related by blood; their only connection is through Hiratsuka Shizuka. It's unrealistic to expect Tsukikawa Shu to help her willingly.

"I'll say it again, why should I support a woman who isn't mine?" Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Hmm... what if she agrees? Can you accept that?" Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked and smiled.

“I wouldn’t mind having one more,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Hehe, I hope you can still handle it." Hiratsuka Shizuka pinched Tsukikawa Shu's waist hard.

It was both itchy and painful. Tsukikawa Shuu pouted angrily, then grabbed Hiratsuka Shizuka and pulled her into his arms, restraining her hands to prevent her from moving around.

"Hira and Hiratsuka-sensei are really a loving couple," Yui Yuigahama said with a smile as she watched from the side.

"I love you all very much."

Tsukikawa Shu smiled, then released Hiratsuka Shizuka and pulled Yuigahama Yui into his arms again.

"what……"

Before Yui Yuigahama could react, she was hugged by Shu Tsukikawa. Then, she looked around at the stares and said, "Shu, isn't this a bit too bold?"

All eyes were drawn to Tsukikawa Shu, who watched as he had just been embracing one woman and was now embracing another, with neither of them offering any resistance; they were clearly old flames.

"Damn it, I want to have both women on either side of me too..."

"Why don't these women know how to resist? Two women sharing one man?"

"Indecent behavior! They're hugging and kissing in public... Don't they care about us single people?!"

"I'm so envious... I've decided, once I become stronger, I'm definitely going to marry two wives!"

"Dream on. You'd better survive first."

……

The people around them were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment once again.

But even greater envy was yet to come.

When Tsukikawa Shuu said she wanted a hug, everyone naturally got one. After letting go of Yuigahama Yui, she used her other hand to pull Goto Ichiri, who was standing there dumbfounded, into her arms.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri hadn't even realized what was happening yet.

She was still thinking about how to write a new guitar piece the whole way when Tsukikawa Shu held her in his arms, blinked, and looked completely bewildered.

Then, she simply clung tightly to Tsukikawa Shu's embrace.

I don't know what happened, but it seems pretty warm and cozy, it feels quite nice...

Then, she saw another large group of men around her who had lost their composure.

"How come there's a third one?!"

"Could it be that the women around him are really his old flames?"

"No need to doubt, that's just how it is."

"Being handsome means you can do whatever you want..."

……

The men were filled with envy, while the women felt a deep sense of regret.

"What a pity, why isn't it me in her arms?"

"Sigh, if only such a handsome man could have sex with me once, I wouldn't have to take responsibility."

"I wish I could be his girlfriend too."
