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

This is a towering stone staircase that reaches into the sky and connects to the floating houses above.

At the same time, a large sign appeared at the end of the stairs:

[Exploration Area 1]

End Time: 24:00:00

The countdown to the end has begun.

Everyone stared in astonishment at what they were seeing, especially the new players who had just entered the inner world.

"This...is this true?"

Chika Nakamachi was already shocked.

These stone steps rising abruptly from the ground are an engineering feat that is simply beyond human capability and technology to achieve.

The rules and regulations displayed on the square were still playing.

Each exploration area lasts 24 hours. After the exploration area ends, players will be teleported back to the central square for rest 24 hours later.

Resources and other items within the exploration area are limited in quantity and will not respawn.

The exploration areas that open each day are different. This secret realm will be open for a total of seven days, and all areas will be opened in seven waves.

[Daily statistics on each player's battle performance and earnings will be compiled and posted in the central plaza.]

The team-up function is available to all players in this secret realm.

However, each team can only have a maximum of ten members when entering the exploration area. Please form teams in advance.

Then the screen disappeared, leaving most of the people present still looking confused and bewildered.

"Is this some kind of reality game? This is just playing a game, isn't it?"

There were still people muttering to themselves, trying to gain the approval of those around them.

However, no one had time to pay attention to him at that moment.

At this moment, a system interface appeared in front of everyone, displaying a series of requests to join a team.

"Looking for a team. I'm a strong and healthy guy, and I can definitely protect you guys."

"A level 10 veteran player is leading the team. We're only missing two girls. You definitely won't regret coming."

"The nine-person group is one person short. We need a guy!"

……

……

Yu Sheng and the others were looking at each other in bewilderment, still not quite processing the information the system had just broadcast.

"Could this... really be another world?"

Kaori Orimoto forced out an awkward smile.

Everyone remained silent.

The image of that massive stone staircase rising into the air just now proved everything. This is not their original world at all, and in order to survive in this world, they must follow the message that was just released.

“Um… how about we be on the same team?” Chika Nakamachi laughed at this moment.

She looked around and quickly discovered her greatest advantage.

That's because there are too many people!

The student council of Seaside Comprehensive High School has a total of seven members, all of whom have now entered the secret realm, giving them a numerical advantage, and four of them are boys.

"Yes, indeed, this is the best way."

Yu Sheng nodded in agreement, "We have the advantage in numbers, and we are very united! It was perfect! I believe this so-called secret realm will not be a challenge for us at all."

"We have the advantage in numbers!"

"What lousy secret realm? Compared to others, we still have a significant advantage."

"Haha, luckily we came here as a whole student council. We all know each other and are capable people. Look at Yue Chuan over there, he's hanging out with four women. He's probably going to suffer a big loss."

……

Now everyone felt a little more relaxed. Although they still didn't understand what was going on, at least they had the numbers.

On the other hand, things are looking rather ugly for Tsukikawa Shu now.

Five people gathered together, including four women, none of whom looked particularly strong. How could they possibly survive in this alternate world?

And it seemed that things were really as they expected, as soon as some lone people came up to them.

"Are you short-handed? I see you only have seven people, so how about I make it?"

"Let me in too, I still have the strength."

"Go away, go away. My name is Mujima. I've been to the Otherworld once before, and I'm still at level three. Trust me, taking me with you will definitely not cause you any trouble."

……

"Hmm... let's all register. You're all perfect, so let's have a perfect meeting to discuss this!"

Yu Sheng basically accepts everyone who comes to him seeking to form a team, registering all those who come to him seeking to form a team, regardless of age or gender.

By holding a meeting and gathering everyone's opinions, we can select the best people to form a team.

If it doesn't work the first time, then try it twice!

It's about pooling our wisdom.

Chapter 101 discusses things at a leisurely pace.

"Hey, Yuechuan, if you guys aren't in a team yet, and our team isn't finalized either, I might reluctantly agree to let you join us since you're handsome~~"

On the other side, Orimoto Kaori shouted at Tsukikawa Shu and the others opposite her, her tone tinged with smugness.

"However, as for the women around you, we're sorry to say we don't have enough spots available."

Before she could finish speaking, just like in the real world, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. Her laughter was natural, casual, and completely uninhibited.

"Pfft—haha, actually we just didn't want any more burdens! How did you come up with the idea of ​​hanging out with a bunch of women? Was that what you were thinking? Hahahaha!"

She clutched her stomach, laughing heartily.

Who is this child?

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the girl who suddenly walked over, started talking to herself, and then suddenly burst into laughter, feeling very puzzled.

“Her name is Orimoto Kaori, and she’s a student in the student council at Seaside Comprehensive High School,” Yui Yuigahama said.

"Oh……"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the girl, but after a while, she still didn't understand. Then she asked in a low voice, "Does she have some kind of... mental problem?"

“Compared to other students in the Seaside Comprehensive High School student council, this person can be considered an ordinary person,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

Tsukikawa Shuu didn't want to waste any time; the countdown to the end of the secret realm had already begun.

So, Tsukikawa Shu led the group straight to the stone steps in the center.

"You're really not coming? With so many of us, we can probably still save you a seat." Orimoto Kaori looked at Tsukikawa Shuu's retreating figure, pouted, and was quite dissatisfied.

You kindly invited the other person to join your team, and this is their attitude?

Kaori Orimoto didn't believe that Hiiragi Tsukikawa could survive in this other world with these few girls who all looked very thin.

But what happened next surprised her greatly.

"Yuechuan, are you Yuechuan?"

At this moment, some players who had previously entered the Otherworld also saw Tsukikawa Shuu and came over.

"Brother Yuechuan, please guide me. I won't hold you back."

"Tsukikawa-san, do you still have any openings in your team? Could you add me? I'm level 20 now, so don't worry, I can handle any tricky or dirty work."

"Tsukikawa-kun, do you think it's possible to get someone to join your team? You can do whatever you want to them, as long as they share some experience~"

……

The people walking towards Tsukikawa Shuu at this moment all carried an aura that Orimoto Kaori couldn't understand, as if they were all veterans who had experienced life and death.

Whether it was a burly man or a woman dressed in flamboyant clothes, deliberately exposing her breasts, all of them exuded a sense of confidence that they had the upper hand.

Kaori Orimoto pondered for a while before vaguely discovering some commonalities.

The conditions for seeking to join a team are invariably either sacrificing one's own interests or engaging in a transaction, and the only condition for such a transaction is wanting to join Tsukikawa Shuu's team.

Instead of being like these new players who desperately try to find a teammate at random.

"I don't want to add any more players right now."

Tsukikawa Hiiragi, holding a katana, spoke coldly.

Seeing the chilling katana, the people around dared not linger and quickly made way for him.

When the secret realm opened for the first time, even veteran players were still somewhat wary of its existence and dared not be the first to venture out.

Resources and treasure chests within the secret realm are limited, and everyone can explore it without worrying about being killed by other players.
