Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Long Live Money Across Anime and Manga Author: JKing

【brief introduction】

What is money?

Money is not just banknotes, but also value and price.

Everything has its value, and every value has its price.

A sufficient price can make the gods nod, and sufficient value can dominate the entire world.

This has nothing to do with good or evil, beauty or ugliness, nobility or baseness; it is simply the most basic theorem governing the operation of all civilizations.

Having acquired the power of trading, Momo arrived in the world of anime and manga, stepping onto the perfect stage where he could perform the most spectacular drama.

As for the name of this play, it's called "Long Live Money!"

① Sword Art Online (SAO)

001 Entering the world of anime and manga

"I won."

Against the backdrop of Earth in the vast starry sky, three people stand on two sides.

On one side was an elderly man with white hair, and on the other side were two girls sitting high on thrones.

The old man looked weathered, but a victorious smile graced his face.

"Eighty years ago, an arrogant young man made a bet with the gods that he would use the power of money to unify the entire world. Over the past eighty years, he has built a vast business empire and used the power of money to balance the entire world. Eighty years later, when he was on his deathbed, the entire world had established a stable order."

"Therefore, Gaia and Alaya, I have won."

Alaya, with a cold expression, pointed to the distant Earth, where smoke filled the air and huge explosions flashed from time to time.

"After your death, the whole world was plunged into endless war. Is this the achievement you were so proud of?"

The old man didn't take it seriously, saying, "What do people care about what happens after they die? I established a system, distributed benefits, and used money to balance everything. Unfortunately, people are greedy, and the value that humans can create is limited. Without my restraint, they started to rebel... Is it my fault?"

The white-haired old man made a funny face like a child, and then laughed happily.

"That's right, Alaya, this human is really amazing. Do you want to admit defeat?"

"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."

Alaya looked at the old man before her and said, "Momo, you have fulfilled your promise. I will also keep my promise. From today onwards, you will become my Heroic Spirit. As a testament to your achievements, you will gain the power of trading. You will understand how to use it once you enter the two-dimensional world."

Momo bowed to Alaya and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Alaya pointed a finger, and a surge of divine power flowed into Mo Mo's body. His aged face quickly became younger, and his hunched body became straight and strong.

"As a Heroic Spirit, your body will be restored to its strongest state. Since the bet consumed eighty years of your lifespan, I will restore you to the age of twenty."

"Next, according to the contract, you can freely travel between the two dimensions. However, as my Heroic Spirit, sometimes you need to complete certain tasks according to my will. As for what those tasks are, I'll tell you when I remember them."

"Your will."

Alaya was clearly satisfied with Momo's attitude and said, "Let's begin. Since this is the motivation that has driven you to work hard for eighty years, then start enjoying the life of anime and manga."

Mo Mo bowed again, as elegant as a seasoned nobleman, and then a portal of light engulfed him, and he disappeared into the starry sky.

"You actually took him as a Heroic Spirit. It's rare for you to be interested in an ordinary person. Besides, isn't the world of anime and manga in complete chaos right now? Is it okay to let him go?"

Alaya looked at the war-torn Earth in the distance and said, "It's already chaotic enough. Even if there's one more pawn, it won't collapse. Besides, since he can single-handedly regulate all of humanity, maybe he can also stabilize the entire second dimension?"

"Sigh, Xiao Ye thinks so highly of her. Could it be that she has fallen for this human?"

"I'll tear your mouth off."

"Ugh, how scary!"

……

When Momo opened her eyes again, she found herself in a bustling Japanese street scene.

"What world is this? Although it's described as two-dimensional, is it really no different from the three-dimensional world?"

"That's exactly right!"

The ten-centimeter-tall Reimu Hakurei stood on Mo Mo's shoulder with her hands on her hips and said, "Although it's an anime, anime also has a three-dimensional world, okay? The anime here is not the same concept as two-dimensional."

"Hmm, I see. But speaking of which, what are you doing here? Did the eternally 17-year-old Yakumo Yukari let you out?"

Mo Mo looked at Reimu Hakurei on his shoulder with a curious expression. As a veteran otaku who had lived for a hundred years in his previous life and had been an otaku for ninety years, how could he not know who this red and white shrine maiden with exposed armpits was?

"I thought you'd be more surprised to see me."

"Actually, I was quite surprised."

Momo squatted down, looked up at Reimu Hakurei floating in mid-air, and showed a disappointed expression on his face.

"Why do you dare to wear a revealing shrine maiden outfit with exposed armpits, yet insist on wearing baggy pants on your lower body?"

Reimu Hakurei's face showed disbelief. She covered her face in pain and said, "So, the person I'm working with this time is someone like you?"

Momo stood up solemnly and said, "You should understand that this is my way of expressing my passion and excitement. I lived for a hundred years in my previous life, and now I have finally met the real Reimu Hakurei. I have to do something."

"So that's your reason for crouching down and spying on me? If I could take action now, you would be dead."

Mo Mo sneered and said, "I, who dare to call Yakumo Yukari 'Auntie,' have been looking forward to my death for a hundred years. What is there to fear?"

"Really... I thought you were a normal person. I was too naive."

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Reimu Hakurei abruptly steered the conversation back on track, saying, "I'm here to work for God. This is your first world, and I'll be responsible for guiding you. Also, I'm warning you, although I have no offensive abilities, you won't be able to touch a single hair on my head."

"How about touching its head?"

Momo touched Reimu Hakurei's head, and a vein popped out on her forehead.

002 Trading Powers

"duang!"

With a loud crash, a flowerpot fell from the sky and smashed onto the ground, knocking Mo Mo to the ground.

"Oh no, what happened!"

"Sir, are you alright?"

"An ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

Passersby gathered around, and several kind-hearted people quickly offered to help. Mo Mo struggled to his feet, casually flicked the blood off his head, and said in fluent Japanese, "It's alright, it's nothing, no need to trouble everyone."

After much persuasion, the group finally gave up their plan to drag Mo Mo to the hospital.

"Are you... alright?"

Reimu Hakurei wondered if she had gone a little too far.

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll wear a helmet beforehand next time."

"Next time I'll throw a rock right at your head!"

"Alright, Reimu, stop fooling around. You're a mature priestess, can't you just look at everything in the mortal world with a normal mindset?"

Reimu Hakurei's eyelids twitched wildly. In the end, it was still her fault?

"I understand your existence now. You're just a beginner tutorial sprite! Tell me, do I have a mission or something you need to explain to me?"

Reimu Hakurei pointed in front of her and said, "See for yourself. Also, no one else can see this light screen or me, so you don't need to worry."

A light screen appeared in front of Mo Mo, displaying Mo Mo's attributes.

Name: Momo, a spirit of the Alaya side.

Seeing Mo Mo remain silent, Reimu Hakurei said, "Have you finally realized how weak you are?"

"No, actually you don't know, I'm a Virgo. The top three are E-, and the bottom three aren't E-, it makes me feel really uncomfortable. Can you change it?"

"Do you think this is a single-player game? And I'm not a cheat code! Just accept the fact that you're a total noob!"

"Isn't there a Noble Phantasm? Let me see it, the Noble Phantasm I've been most looking forward to."

Momo smiled, a smile that blended his pride and confidence, radiating a glorious glow that even made Reimu Hakurei, who disliked Momo, somewhat lose her composure.

"Hmph, that's all he's good for."

"Hmm, isn't this interesting? Reimu, does this mean I can use my powers to trade anything with anyone, like you, Reimu..."

Reimu Hakurei, arms crossed and wary, looked at Mo Mo and said, "Keep your mind to yourself! The right to trade must adhere to the three principles of equivalence, voluntariness, and fairness; otherwise, it cannot be called a trade."

"Equivalent, voluntary, fair?"

"Equivalence means that both parties reach a consensus on the value of the goods being traded; voluntariness means that both parties rationally agree to the completion of the transaction; fairness means that neither party may, directly or indirectly, interfere with the pricing and trading intentions of the other party in any way!"

"So, no matter what price you offer to get me to do anything, I will not agree. Don't even think about it!"
