Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Indeed, Momo understood Tilberu's thoughts, but did Tilberu ask Momo for permission before ending the matter?

Mo Mo always felt compelled to respond when someone bit her for no apparent reason.

However, Momo would never go back and bite someone; that's what dogs do.

Is that so?

Momo's face was innocent and innocent, and he showed a puzzled smile. He said, "But Ya Wang told me yesterday that Tilberu wants to deal with me and asked me to give him 10000 Coles. He also said that he would help me become the leader of the strategy meeting."

"However, I declined yesterday because I didn't have enough money, but today I managed to scrape together 10000 Coles."

Momo took out a money bag with the number "10000" on it and asked, "King Ya, shall we continue the transaction?"

049 Dogs Eat Dogs

The 10000 Cole purse instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The players present were all elite players, and almost all of them had savings exceeding 1000 Coles. So when Momo took out 1000 Coles, or even 5000 Coles, all the players were simply surprised.

After all, Momo and Asuna have the equipment and strength they possess, and since Momo and Asuna are actually two of a four-person team, with Momo in charge of everything, it's not hard to understand why he would take out several thousand Coles as the team leader.

However, when Cole's number rose from four digits to five digits, everyone finally couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This was not just a single-digit increase; it was the final blow that snapped everyone's nerves, leaving them all astonished.

This is 10000 Coles of savings, not just an income of over 10000 Coles. Four people also represent four expenses. It is not an easy thing to accumulate 10000 Coles in a month.

But on second thought, almost everyone goes to Lisbeth to enhance and forge their weapons. Although the service fee is only a few dozen or a hundred kol each time, considering the ever-growing number of people in front of Lisbeth, the 10000 kol fee doesn't seem so hard to understand.

However, everyone still had topics to discuss, and their attention was focused on Momo. The fact that Lisbeth entrusted all her earnings to her captain, Momo, meant that Momo undoubtedly possessed strong leadership skills and was worthy of Lisbeth's trust.

After all, when people recalled Lisbeth's appearance, they couldn't believe that her happy face had ever shown any sign of being forced.

The most surprised people right now are, of course, the King of Fangs and Tilberu.

Tiberlu looked at the Fang King, a surge of panic rising within him. Tiberlu already knew what kind of person the Fang King was; he himself had bribed him with Cole. Now, Momo was offering 10000 Cole to buy the Fang King—how could he not be nervous?

He only gave the Fang King 500 Coles, and the Fang King jumped out to bite people. Now, Momo has taken out 10000 Coles, twenty times the amount he paid. Tilberu doesn't believe the Fang King will keep his promise at all.

How to do?

How to do!

Tilber is now filled with regret. If only he had targeted Kirito!

The reason he targeted Momo was because he had already revealed that he was a beta tester at the previous talent search conference, so he naturally couldn't use that as a reason to attack Kirito now.

In addition, Momo and Asuna have become so famous recently that even though they haven't shown any intention of forming a team, they still make Tilberu uneasy.

Therefore, Tilber decided to use some tricks to at least lower the reputation of the two of them. If he did it well, he might make Momo and Asuna grateful to him and join his team.

But he never expected that Mo Mo would be so difficult to deal with. Not only did she use gentle methods to thwart his conspiracy, but she also had no intention of ending it there. Instead, she wanted to turn the tables and attack him!

No, we absolutely cannot just sit here and wait to die. We can't trust Ya Wang!

Looking at the King of Fangs, Tilberu felt like killing him.

Since we can't trust Ya Wang and Mo Mo is not someone to be trifled with, then... we should strike first and deal with Ya Wang!

"King Ya! So it was you who orchestrated all of this! What exactly are you trying to do, secretly sowing discord among everyone, just for money?!"

Ya Wang was still staring blankly at the 10000 Coles, his mind a mess, not knowing what to do, when suddenly he heard Tilberu's voice explode in his ears, and he jumped up.

"Tilberu, what did you say!"

"I said, what exactly do you want! Just because you failed to extort Momo, are you going to take revenge in front of everyone today? You're trying to sow discord among us, have you considered that this will cause the players to split up, and splitting up means the possibility of failure."

"King Fang, are you going to kill the player here with your own hands?!"

Tilberu's stern voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. After hearing Tilberu's words, everyone's expression changed as they looked at the King of Fangs.

Besides disgust, there was also a hint of hatred, because if Ya Wang's actions were merely driven by greed, they could be forgiven. But if Ya Wang caused the player's death, then that would be murder.

Murder was something that no one present could accept.

Momo whistled, earning a glare from Asuna, who seemed to be annoyed that Momo had ruined the atmosphere. Momo shrugged; he did appreciate Tilber's decisive action, but unfortunately, the King of Fangs wasn't a sheep.

Ya Wang is a dog, a biting dog, a vicious dog that bites anyone who provokes him.

The King of Fangs turned pale, and even his lips trembled. Although he wasn't very smart, he considered himself to be. In fact, he was quite clever. He understood exactly what Tilberu's words meant.

"Tilberu!"

The Fang King bared his teeth, his eyes red. Faced with such a ferocious Fang King, Tilberu's expression changed, but now, he absolutely could not back down.

"Hurry up and apologize! I know you like money, but Mo Mojun's money is all earned through hard work fighting monsters. Apologize to Mo Mojun, and I believe he will forgive you."

Momo revealed a playful smile. Was Tilberu still planning to shift the blame and draw the hatred of the Tooth King to him?

As expected, Ya Wang turned his head and looked at Momo. Tilberu had just breathed a sigh of relief, but was frightened by Ya Wang's words.

"Mo Mo, I framed you just now, and it was indeed for money. However, I will not apologize. I only have one question for you."

"Is the deal you promised valid?"

Mo Mo's smile remained unchanged as he said, "So what if it works? So what if it doesn't?"

“If it works, I’ll take the money and then tell everyone all the dirty things Tilberu has done these days. Whether you believe it or not is not my business.”

"If it doesn't work, then I'll just admit defeat."

Tilberu's pupils contracted. Although he didn't trust the Fang King, he was still a capable person, and he had used the Fang King to do quite a few things. Although it wasn't something as unforgivable as murder, it was a fact that he had used the Fang King to oust several equally powerful closed beta testers.

"King Ya, are you still going to spout nonsense?! Who do you think will believe your words!"

Ya Wang grinned and said, "Tilberu, didn't you say I like money? Well, I'll show you I like money now! As for whether others believe it or not, believe me, once I say it, everyone will know for sure. After all, there are other people involved, and you can call them over to confront me."

Tilberu swallowed hard; he was indeed flustered.

"enough!"

Akiel stepped forward, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention. His two-meter height and Black identity instantly made everyone know who he was.

After all, with his height and his approachable personality, Agil is loved by many players and has become the leader of a team.

"Regardless of who is right or wrong, I think this matter should end here. Don't forget, we are holding a strategy meeting, and the goal is to clear the first floor! We are here to gather everyone's strength and create hope for the remaining players, not to let you fight to the death."

"King Ya, I don't care what the truth is, just stop. Even if you really took that 10,000 Coles, how long could it last you? This is only the early stage of the game. In the later stages, everyone will have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions in savings. Are you planning to be ostracized by everyone for just 10,000 Coles?!"

Agil's words jolted the King of Fangs, and his anger subsided considerably. Since he wanted to rally everyone to his side, he had naturally imagined what a miserable fate it would be to be isolated by everyone in this game.

The King of Fangs raised his head, glaring fiercely at Tilberu, then glanced at Momo, and finally looked at Agil and asked, "Would you like me to join you?"

Agil raised an eyebrow and said, "I know your strength is not bad. If you are willing to abide by my rules, then I welcome you to join us."

"I, I'll join."

After saying that, Fang Wang walked away with Agil. Tilberu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Fang Wang, are you just leaving like that?"

"Ha, Your Highness the Knight!"

Ya Wang turned his head and revealed a mocking smile.

"I can expose your dirty secrets for 10000 Coles, or I can expose them just to save face. I, Ya Wang, love money, but don't think that just because I, Ya Wang, don't have money, I'll do nothing!"

Faced with the threat from the King of Fangs, Tilberu's face turned pale and then red, but he didn't say anything more.

The players present watched this farce without saying a word, but everyone had their own plans. Their gazes toward the King of Fang were naturally unfriendly, while their gazes toward Tilberu were filled with doubt, and some were even directly mocking.

"Regardless, this strategy meeting will continue. What do you think?"

Aikir's words were met with agreement from everyone. Argo spoke up directly, saying, "Why don't we form teams first, see how many teams there are, and then assign tasks according to the teams' situations?"

Argo is quite a celebrity; Argo the Rat, the information broker, and the publisher of free strategy guides. This makes all players, even those who were familiar with the game during the closed beta, grateful to Argo.

After all, Argo is different from the original work this time. On the first page of the strategy guide, it is marked in bright red letters that you should pay attention to the difference between the closed beta and the open beta.

Afterwards, Argo even briefly described her and Momo's mission process. Putting everything else aside, the fact that one mission boss became two, and that they gained an acceleration skill and a charge skill that reduced the boss's health to half, was terrifying enough.

Everyone here is a seasoned gamer, so they naturally know that even a slight change in a boss's attributes could lead to a total wipeout. Therefore, the beta testers were much more cautious when doing quests and killing bosses this time.

After that, two closed beta testers also discovered changes to the mission process, though not as dangerous as Argo and Momo's experience, but still quite a bit more trouble.

The experiences of these two players were also written in the strategy guide. Now no one dares to ignore this change, and Argo has become even more famous than the original.

050 A Different Development

With these events as a foundation, Momo had reason to believe that things would take a turn for the better this time, and that Tilberu would escape his fate of death.

Momo didn't really care about Tilberu's life or death, just as he didn't care about Tilberu's hidden thoughts or the little tricks he played behind the scenes.

The only thing Momo thought highly of Tiberlu was Tiberlu's leadership skills. Without a doubt, Tiberlu had performed quite well in attracting people's hearts, uniting forces, and commanding operations.

In the original story, if he hadn't been greedy for the Black Midnight Coat, a special drop from the first floor boss of Sword Art Online, the kobold lord Ilfan, he wouldn't have died at the boss's hands.

If he hadn't died, and had miraculously survived, he would have undoubtedly become the leader of another large organization, one that could rival Heathcliff and the army.

Therefore, Momo still values ​​Tilberu's talent quite a bit. As for his character, as long as Tilberu can do things obediently, Momo doesn't care if Tilberu has any ulterior motives. Anyway, Momo isn't very interested in the exclusive drops from various bosses. One or two top-tier equipment items can't change the essence of the Sword Art Online game.

However, Momo wouldn't scheme against Tilberu just to win him over. With him around, Momo could be a hands-off manager; without him, Momo would just need to spend some time managing the guild, or even find someone else to help manage it.

Looking back at the characters in the original work, Keita seems to be quite good. Although his strength is average, he should be competent enough as a manager and coordinator.

"Hi, Asuna, I'm here!"

Argo trotted out from the crowd. Many people along the way wanted to invite Argo, as he was an information broker who could give ordinary players a lot of guidance and was quite capable.

Moreover, compared to the original story, Argo has an additional Rat Tail Dagger. Although this dagger is only LV3, it is now a top-tier weapon after being upgraded, which further enhances Argo's strength.

However, Argo ignored everyone's invitations and rushed straight towards Momo. Only after Argo hugged Asuna did the expressions of the rejected group soften slightly.

That makes sense. Girls naturally prefer to team up with other girls; they're definitely not after that rich, pretty-boy guy!

absolute!

"Asuna, how about we team up two people at a time, and then let them team up two people at a time? Let's ignore those two stinky men."

Momo accepted Argo's taunts with amusement, while Kirito's eyelids twitched wildly as he pointed to his own nose and asked, "When did I become a stinky man?"

He's just a 14-year-old chuunibyou... oops, I mean a 14-year-old pretty boy, okay? Although he has a bit of a baby face.

However, Argo was destined to ignore Kirito, but unfortunately, Asuna rejected Argo's words.

“Alright, Argo, this isn’t your average leveling up. This is about taking on a boss. Momo and I are very good at working together, so if we suddenly split up, we won’t be used to it.”
