Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The quantum servers for the neural connection devices are currently in Mo Mo's hands. Not only the quantum servers, but these neural connection devices also have backdoors and are under Feng Zi's surveillance and control.

Seeing Odysseus's delighted expression, Momo suddenly felt his conscience trembling, so he decided to continue to trick Odysseus.

“Your Highness, if you really like it, this one can be given to you. This device can be carried 24 hours a day.”

Momo smiled and tried to persuade Odysseus that if Odysseus really accepted it, as long as Odysseus still wore the neural connection device, even if he turned it off, he would be under 24-hour surveillance.

Moreover, this surveillance is not only directed at him, but also at everything around him.

"Is that really the case, Mr. Momo? I can tell that the level of technology involved is very high. I really don't deserve such a gift."

"You really feel unworthy? Then you should make it up to me!"

Odysseus's apologetic expression froze instantly. Why aren't you following the script? What happened to the Chinese Empire being a land of etiquette? How come you're so adept at using this opportunistic tactic?

How come you're so skilled at this? How many times have you done it?

However, after touching the neural connection device on his neck, Odysseus sighed slightly and said, "Alright, Mr. Mormo, is there anything I can help you with?"

“Actually, it’s nothing serious,” Momo smiled slightly and said, “I just want to ask His Highness Odysseus, as a prince, to persuade the eldest son of the Huddarfelt family to take good care of Karen’s mother. Even if the feelings are over, at least for the sake of my relationship with Karen, don’t let Karen’s mother suffer any grievances.”

Karen, who was not far away, suddenly turned around and looked at Momo with some surprise. Then her eyes became moist, but a smile appeared on her lips.

So Mo Mo knew what she was worried about all along and had been trying to find a solution for her?

The anxiety of being separated from loved ones these past few days seemed to vanish suddenly at this moment because of Mo Mo's words.

Karen pursed her lips, trying not to make a sound. She clasped her hands together, her right hand touching the ring on her left middle finger.

"Karen, why are you crying? Are you hungry?"

At this moment, Jiang Lihua, who was standing next to Karen, noticed Karen's unusual behavior. She reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Karen's eyes, leaving only a smile on Karen's face.

"You'll understand when you grow up. Hmph, I'm a big kid now, Lihua, you're still a little kid."

"No, Lihua is a big girl now. Lihua will grow up soon and catch up with you, Karen. In four years, I will be ten years old too."

"In four years, I'll be fourteen, but you'll still be four years younger than me."

"Then let's wait another eight years!"

"It's the same. If you don't believe me, use a neural connection device to calculate it. I'll always be four years older than you."

"Oh dear, how come this is? Does that mean I'll never catch up with you, Karen?"

The two children continued to play happily, and Odysseus completed his deal with Momer.

“Well, Mr. Momo is indeed a man of great integrity. Although this matter is a private affair of Hugh Dafelt, it involves Mr. Momo, a prominent figure in the Chinese Federation. At the very least, I can ensure that the entire Hugh Dafelt treats that lady well, based on the foundation of maintaining friendly relations between our two countries.”

Odysseus's promise was much greater than Momo's demand, although it was still just a matter of a word for Odysseus.

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."

"No, this is just my return gift. There's no need to be so polite, Mr. Mormo."

……

Momo and Odysseus completed a fair and elegant transaction. In the arena, Jiang Shang, leading his angry officers, finally arrived at the scene.

However, as soon as they entered, they were taken aback by the sheer number of cameras and microphones on site, because they never expected that there would be television crew members present.

"What's going on here? Who gave you permission to come?"

Jiang Shang asked with a cold face. As the emperor's personal guard, he had never been in front of the camera before, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, this was arranged by the brilliant strategist, Lord Mo." Upon seeing this, the host from Royal TV immediately stepped forward to answer.

"The Qilin Talent?"

Jiang Shang was taken aback, then asked, "How could he have gotten involved in this? Besides, although the Qilin Talent is the Grand Tutor, he shouldn't have the authority to transfer you, right?"

"Yes, sir. Although Lord Mo is not authorized to order us around, ... the princess beside him has agreed. Although this is against the rules, since the princess has agreed, we will obey orders."

"As for why Lord Qilin is involved... doesn't the Lord know? This Artoria Pendragon actually came to the Chinese Federation with Lord Mo, and it is said that she is one of the beauties by Lord Mo's side."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang was completely stunned. He really didn't know much about Artoria's background, and now, Artoria was actually related to Mo Mo, and Mo Mo was interfering with the princess... What exactly was going on behind the scenes?

However, before he could think about it, Jiang Lihua's voice came from the surrounding audio equipment, saying, "Hello, old man, are you a general?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang knelt on one knee, and all the soldiers behind him also knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Although Jiang Shang did not see Jiang Lihua in person, he only heard her voice.

"Don't kneel down so easily. I'm asking you, do you want to challenge Artoria? If so, you're doomed to lose. Artoria is very powerful!"

"Oh, right, remember to give it your all later. The teacher told me that this is a chance to show everyone our strength."

Jiang Lihua's soft voice faded away, and everyone shouted "Yes, ma'am!" before standing up.

Although Jiang Lihua was merely a princess, everyone understood that the old emperor only had one heir, and that Jiang Lihua would inevitably become the next emperor. Therefore, as long as it did not violate any principles, no one dared to disobey Jiang Lihua.

Jiang Lihua's presence gave everyone a jolt. Although Jiang Lihua is still young, that's precisely why. If everyone could make a lasting impression on her now, wouldn't it be easier to meet her again soon?

Moreover, Her Highness herself said that everyone should give it their all. In that case, even when facing women, the goal must be to win.

Among the group, Jiang Shang was probably the only one who remained calm. He was thinking about the current situation, the relationship between Artoria and Momo, and the relationship between Momo and the princess.

"I hope... it's just my overthinking."

Jiang Shang suppressed the slight worry rising in his heart and turned to look at the three girls in the center of the arena.

Author's Note:

Third update.

The fourth update won't be until after midnight, sorry...

82 As expected of Mo Mo's people

The first thing that catches the eye is Artoria and her two companions, all of whom are now wearing light armor in the style of the Chinese Federation. Compared to the rather uninspired vest-shaped light armor for men, the women's light armor is much more fashionable. It not only provides protection but also features large sections that bind the waist, highlighting the beautiful curves of the female form.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Xianglin is somewhat famous. After all, in a military camp full of men, seeing so many men over a long period of time can even cause problems with one's values ​​and aesthetics. At this time, the appearance of a female soldier like Zhou Xianglin, who is both talented and beautiful, is simply a beautiful treat for all the male soldiers.

The designer of the women's light nail design is probably a like-minded gentleman with the same mindset.

Looking at the three young girls in front of him, Jiang Shang felt a sense of unreality. Although the three women seemed to have no fighting ability, his instinct as an old soldier made him feel a strong pressure from them.

That's a master!

Especially the blonde girl sitting quietly in the middle, although her expression and gaze were very peaceful, made Jiang Shang feel a deep pressure, as if he were facing the emperor.

What are the backgrounds of these three girls?

"grown ups……"

Seeing that Jiang Shang seemed stunned, Zhou Xianglin couldn't help but remind him, which brought Jiang Shang back to his senses. In any case, it was time to meet their future general.

Jiang Shang walked directly to the center of the arena. A ring had been set up in the middle of the arena, with a tea table and chairs in the center. Artoria was sitting in a chair, with Asuna and Kuroyukihime standing next to her. There were three empty chairs opposite her.

The three chairs were naturally prepared for Jiang Shang and the other two captains. The two Air Force captains, who had originally planned to stand, also sat down upon seeing this.

"Hello, Lord Jiang, I am Artoria Pendragon."

Facing Jiang Shang's scrutinizing gaze, Artoria smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask for your guidance from now on."

Jiang Shang frowned slightly and said, "I'm not surprised that you know who I am, but I am surprised to see who you are. Can you tell me why you, as a Britannian, have come to the Chinese Federation and are working for us?"

“Nationality means nothing to me. Right now, I am serving my Lord. My Lord needs me to take this position, so I have come. For me, my Lord’s command is everything, and I don’t care much about anything else.”

"The brilliant strategist Mo Mo?"

"Yes."

Jiang Shang frowned even more deeply and said, "As a soldier, I shouldn't be asking these questions, but why does the Qilin Talent, who has made great contributions without seeking fame or fortune, only serve as a Grand Tutor? On the other hand, he allows you, his subordinate, to show your face in public. Isn't this a contradiction?"

"No, it's not contradictory. What my lord cares about and enjoys more is creating and sharing wealth, rather than being a politician or a soldier. Even the position of Grand Tutor was something my lord couldn't refuse, so he agreed to His Majesty the Emperor's request."

“And I am here only because my lord needs me, the emperor needs me. You… also need my leadership.”

"While you may very well become our general, don't you think your words are far too arrogant? Besides, you brought this whole situation upon yourself. Are you really so sure that all of us combined are no match for you?"

Despite Jiang Shang's slightly annoyed tone, Artoria remained calm and said, "I was merely stating a fact."

"Even if you truly possess unparalleled talent, aren't you afraid that such an arrogant tone will cause resentment among us, leading us to stop cooperating with you?"

"Will not."

"No, what does that mean?"

Artoria gazed at Jiang Shang and said, "No, those three words mean that we won't have any disagreements."

“I obey my lord, and my lord obeys the emperor. The emperor needs my services, and my lord has agreed, which is why I am here. You are the emperor's personal guards, and your mission is to protect the emperor. You will only obey the emperor.”

"I am merely issuing orders to you on behalf of the Emperor. It doesn't matter what your opinions of me are or whether you agree with me. All I need is for you to obey my orders when I have completed the Emperor's mission."

“You will obey my orders, I will lead you into battle, and then we will be victorious. You will complete the Son of Heaven’s mission, and I will not fail my lord’s expectations.”

"It's that simple."

Jiang Shang looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise. Unlike his approach of trying to avoid trouble, she directly and decisively analyzed the current relationship between the two parties.

According to Artoria, the attitudes of both sides are meaningless; as long as everyone cooperates according to their duties, that's enough.

In this way, there is no need for the two sides to argue, and the significance of today's meeting has been fundamentally eliminated by Artoria.

"You... are too idealistic. This is an ideal state. In reality, it's never that easy. If you really thought that way, why did you have to put on this show today? We are all human beings, and we all have our own emotions."

"That's why we're here today, right now, to vent our personal emotions. After this, if you believe I'm qualified to be your general, then we'll begin to cooperate, and from today onward, we'll do our duty and control our emotions."

"I believe you can do this, after all, you are the emperor's personal guard and have a high enough level of willpower and awareness. If you can't even do this, then I think there is no need for us to cooperate, because I at least lead a disciplined army, not a bunch of lawless thugs."

After Artoria finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Shang quietly, waiting for his reply. But Jiang Shang seemed to have been pushed into a dead end, and for a moment he was speechless.

What could he say?

Jiang Shang certainly couldn't say that they couldn't, couldn't control their emotions to be qualified soldiers, and wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor. This was the basic requirement for the emperor's personal guards; if they couldn't even do this, then their existence was meaningless.

But if we admit that they can do it... then what are they here for today? Isn't it to vent their frustrations?

With just a few words, Artoria had completely blocked their path forward and backward for the day. They couldn't admit that they came to vent their anger, and if they lost the match, they couldn't use the excuse of someone protecting them. This was the true purpose of Artoria's words.

Of course, Artoria also left them a path, a fair and square path—a contest.

"I've heard that the Kirin Scholar has a silver tongue and an iron tongue. Back then, without any evidence, he managed to win over the First Prince of Britannia and gain the Prime Minister's trust simply by relying on his eloquence. Now it seems that it's true. As his subordinate, you actually have such eloquence."

"As expected, we soldiers are not suited to outwitting and arguing with others. So you're so confident that you can defeat us in a head-on confrontation, just the three of you weak women?"
