Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The Blue King sighed and said, "It seems there is absolutely no possibility of negotiation. Black King, you will regret this. To pursue power at the expense of everything is not something a human should do."

"probably."

The light on Kuroyukihime's helmet shone brightly, and she said, "When I become LV10, I will become a strong person and apologize to you who have already left the stage for my pitiful guilt."

The atmosphere on both sides grew increasingly tense, and the time remaining on the invitation prompts gradually decreased, indicating that a battle was imminent.

However, at this moment, Mo Mo spoke again.

"I have a small suggestion: since we're going to fight anyway, why not add some fun?"

Mo Mo's voice wasn't loud. Logically speaking, a Level 1 virtual entity shouldn't have any say in this situation. However, Mo Mo's words made everyone listen quietly and think carefully.

Looking for some fun?

what is that?

However, the word "fun" has a vulgar tone, causing many people to subconsciously frown. The Blue King also looked at Mo Mo with some dissatisfaction.

The reason people gave you the opportunity to speak is because of your outstanding potential. Do you really think anyone will care about your nonsense as a Level 1 user?

And also, having fun...

This is such a serious battle. Everyone has their own will and ideas. Everyone is fighting for their fate of surviving in the Accelerated World. And you, in return, say you're just looking for fun?

However, out of respect for others, the Blue King would naturally not refuse Mo Mo to his face, but because of his current dissatisfaction, he would not accept those words.

The spirit of chivalry must not be tarnished, much less desecrated.

However, he didn't want to respond, but some people seemed quite interested.

King Huang stared at Mo Mo with great interest. Mo Mo's performance from beginning to end had been very much to his liking, so he didn't mind helping Mo Mo with his words, saying, "Interesting newcomer, tell me, what kind of fun is this? If it's really interesting, I can support you."

"Oh, fun? What fun? Tell me quickly, just fighting is so boring!"

However, besides the King of Yellow, the King of Red also spoke at the same time. They were both very interested in Momo's suggestion. But after they spoke at the same time, they immediately glared at each other fiercely.

In a sense, this performance is surprisingly harmonious.

Kuroyukihime looked at Momo with some confusion, wondering what he was up to. However, she believed that Momo would never do anything to dishonor Kuroyukihime's dignity as the Black King, and besides, no matter what, if Momo supported her, she would support him too.

"So, shall I offer my suggestion?"

Momo stepped forward, adjusted his top hat, and said, "Just as the lovely Miss Red King said, the battles of simple kings are both very dangerous and very boring."

As soon as Mo Mo spoke, the Red King, who was still fuming about the Yellow King's matter in the distance, suddenly felt a surge of joy. He looked at Mo Mo with a grin on his face and said loudly, "Hmm, not bad, newcomer. You have a good eye. How did you know I was cute?"

"You can judge this kind of thing just by the voice. Cuteness is an attribute that comes from the inside out and permeates the whole body. If you can get one of them, you can see the whole picture!"

"Haha, I like you, newbie. If you can't make it with the Black King, you're always welcome to come work for me!"

"Is that so? Then I'll take note, Your Majesty the Red King."

After speaking, Momo took off his top hat and nodded slightly to the Red King in greeting. The Red King, seemingly satisfied with his vanity, proudly puffed out his chest.

The Red King openly recruited people, leaving the remaining three kings speechless. They all actually thought highly of Mo Mo and the others, but no matter what, they were not qualified to recruit them.

As the leader of the Blue King's attempt to eliminate the Black King, and as the Purple King's personal enemy, and as everyone knows that the Yellow King has a bad relationship with the Black King, the only one who has a chance to recruit Mo Mo's three newcomers right now is the Red King, isn't he?

The Green King is naturally qualified, but he never takes the initiative to do anything. If Momo and the others really come to him in the future, the Green King will probably just accept them in silence.

Realizing this, the three kings looked at the Red King with a hint of amusement, especially the Yellow King, who believed he had completely seen through the Red King's thoughts.

No wonder the Red King showed so little interest in killing Kuroyukihime. Was he announcing to Momo and the other two that she was just there to make a cameo appearance, and that she had no grudge against the Black King and did not want to make an enemy of him?

Isn't the current conversation with Momo just a mutual exchange of goodwill?

"You cunning little devil, but your smugness won't last long..."

The Yellow King muttered to himself, ignoring the Red King. The Blue King's brow furrowed even more. With only four fighters left, if the Red King continued to dawdle, could they really defeat the Black King, BlackLotus?

Actually, it's not impossible.

The Blue King instinctively reached for his divine artifact, Tian Shu, while the Purple King possessed Tian Xuan, one of the Seven Divine Artifacts. Since acquiring two of the Seven Divine Artifacts, neither of them had ever truly used its power, because they realized that the Seven Divine Artifacts were completely beyond the current power system of the Accelerated World.

The Green King's shield is one thing, since it's defensive equipment, but his and the Purple King's weapons are powerful offensive weapons. Such things are better left to slumber quietly.

Otherwise, the Armor of Calamity would be a precedent; if the power of the Seven Divine Artifacts were misused, the result would certainly be disastrous.

But today... perhaps it's time to use them?

no way……

The Blue King gradually made up his mind. Compared to the potential disaster that using the Seven Divine Artifacts might bring, the Black King before him was more worrying.

However, the Blue King didn't know that he was overthinking things, and the Yellow King was overthinking things too.

Although the Red King has no grudge against the Black King, he is still the Red King. The previous Red King died at the hands of the Black King, and the current Red King will not take the initiative to contact the Black King unless he has a need for it.

Even if the current Red King doesn't have a close relationship with the previous one, the main force of the Red Legion, especially the veterans, were all trusted subordinates of the previous Red King. Even if the current Red King doesn't hold a grudge against Kuroyukihime, he still has to consider the feelings of his seniors in order to maintain a stable relationship.

As for the conversation between the two of them just now, it was nothing more than a simple interaction of flirting with girls and flirting with guys.

Look, BlackLotus is looking in the direction of Red. BlackLotus and Red were originally not enemies, but because of a few words from Momo and Red, they are almost enemies now.

"Speak up, MiddleMagic, what exactly do you want? If you don't have any substantial suggestions, it's better to start this war sooner rather than later."

"Huh, is the Blue King in a hurry to go home for lunch? Okay, I'll make a long story short."

Mo Mo put his hat back on, raised his head, and said, "Everyone, I believe you have all heard about the Seven Kings Tournament two years ago. It was also a battle of the Emperors, and at the end of that battle, my Black King BlackLotus was able to retreat safely under the siege of the Blue, Yellow, Green, and Purple Kings. Today, although the Green King has been replaced by the Red King, I believe the result will be no different."

"How dare you talk such nonsense! You're welcome to try!"

The Blue King felt challenged, and his gaze toward Mo Mo grew increasingly displeased. As expected of the Black King's chosen successor, even real-life couples share similar personalities.

The Blue King gradually sensed a threat from MiddleMagic. He instinctively felt that Momo's threat to the Accelerated World was probably no less than that of the Black King, BlackLotus... or even greater.

The former, the Black King, brought war, the fall of these kings, and the destruction of order. But why does this MiddleMagic give the Blue King an aura of destruction?

This... must be an illusion...

After all, MiddleMagic is only LV1.

However, after hearing Mo Mo's words, the Blue King realized he was wrong.

He finally understood why MiddleMagic filled him with fear and a sense of destruction: it was because Momo brought with him the scene that all the Accelerators least wanted to see and the scene they feared most…

The invasion of reality!

Mo Mo raised his hand and swiped, typing a lot of information in front of him, then sent all the information to everyone present.

In fact, neural connections can still be used in the Accelerated World, which makes sense, since the so-called acceleration is also a program run by neural connections.

However, in the Accelerated World, every operation performed by the Accelerator actually requires the neural connection device to operate at a load a thousand times greater than normal, placing high demands on the performance of the neural connection device, since the performance and version of the neural connection device are constantly being improved.

However, most of the speedsters looked down in surprise, which meant that the neural connection devices currently used by most speedsters were still working properly. After all, this was Tokyo, and the possibility of encountering an old-fashioned version of the neural connection device was not high.

However, everyone lowered their heads, staring at the message sent by Mo Mo, and fell silent in shock. They had never expected that MiddleMagic would do such a thing.

The information was not complicated; the title was "Battle Emperor Invitational Tournament".

The content itself wasn't complicated, but looking at this unbelievable information, everyone was speechless except for disbelief.

They all looked at Momo, eager for MiddleMagic to explain whether all of this was real or just a joke.

"As I just said, simple battles are too boring, and the Kings' battles have already had a result, so this one won't be any different. Besides, as Accelerators, don't you all want to spar with the Kings? That would be a great combat experience!"

Mo Mo opened his arms, facing everyone, ignoring the stiff Blue King in the distance, and said, "I hereby announce that I will fully support this Battle Emperor Mode, and at the same time, I will bring good luck to everyone."

"All speedsters participating in the King of Fighters mode will immediately receive a reward of 100 million yen upon confirming their participation. For each speedster killed, the reward will accumulate to 100 million yen. And if anyone takes the head of our esteemed king..."

Mo Mo held up one finger and said, "I'll offer one hundred million US dollars, which is over ten billion yen. How about that? Not bad, right? Since it's a battle, since it's a duel, there has to be some kind of prize."

"Alright, everyone, let's make a decision about whether or not you want to participate!"

87 The Test of Money

As Mo Mo finished speaking, everyone, including the Blue King, was startled by the notification message in front of them.

One hundred million yen.

How large is one hundred million?

These people are all kids right now, and they're at that awkward, immature age. Although they keep saying that money is useless, they're all starting to realize that money is useful.

With money came new clothes, new toys, new collectibles—anything they liked could be bought. Although they still believed that love and affection were priceless, harsh reality was gradually telling them that more and more things could indeed be bought with money.

They will gradually come to understand the true meaning of the saying that money is not everything—there are indeed things in the world that money cannot do, but without money, nothing is possible.

Money is the lifeblood of human society and the most direct way for anyone to exchange material goods and interests. People with more money have more material possessions, are admired and envied by more people, and have more opportunities.

Teenagers with delusions of grandeur are unwilling to admit this, but that's the reality.

People may comfort themselves by saying that even the rich are unhappy, but at least the rich have fewer worries about food, clothing, shelter, and daily necessities compared to the poor.

Right now, 100 million yen is right in front of everyone. Will they refuse?

Everyone subconsciously thought about what they could do with 100 million yen if it were real. Very few people with a clear head tried to discern whether the conditions proposed by MiddleMagic were true or false.

Just as we all know that we are unlikely to win the lottery in our lifetime, when we see those lucky people in the news reports who are crying tears of joy while holding huge prize checks, we still can't help but yearn for, fantasize about, and imagine what it would be like to become one of those lucky people one day.

That's the allure of money.

Money is not actually banknotes, nor is it a string of numbers on an account. It is merely a standard, a symbol. The true meaning of money lies hidden behind it: the power of people that money can mobilize, as well as the vast amount of material wealth.

Humans and matter—this is actually the foundation upon which modern human society is built.

Even the most developed countries need manpower to do the most basic and tiring jobs, and even the poorest countries need leaders with higher status than the average person. The balance and operation of all this depend on money.

With money comes power and material possessions. You have countless people supporting you and endless resources to squander. This is the true meaning of money.

This is also the essence of money, which drives people to pursue and become obsessed with it.

What people are fascinated by is essentially power, and becoming stronger.

From ancient times to the present, from primitive humans pursuing great height and strength to challenge tigers and leopards, to modern humans chasing predators crying inside BMWs, the essence remains unchanged. What people pursue is the power of self-preservation and survival, and the pursuit of more abundant resources.

Perhaps one day, humanity will evolve and develop, and human society will move beyond a certain model where humans transcend the concerns of survival and need not worry about any resources. At that time, the role of money will gradually diminish.
