Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Why don't you try it and see how it goes?"

"What a joke! This stuff can save lives! One blood vial, one life. How could we possibly use it for experiments so easily? As for its properties, isn't it clearly stated on the label?"

Kirito scolded Momo, but his excitement was still evident in his eyes. He carefully put the blood bottle back into his inventory and then saw Momo's smiling eyes.

"Could it be?!"

Kirito finally realized what was happening and said, "Could it be that Momo, you can make this kind of blood vial?!"

Mo Mo nodded, and Kirito excitedly grabbed Mo Mo's shoulder, saying, "That's great, that's great! With this, it's like we have an extra life when we're fighting the boss. This will greatly increase both our margin for error and our success rate. Mo Mo, you're truly a lucky star for all of us!"

"Alright, Kirito, you're getting too excited."

Momo calmed Kirito down and said, "As you know, this was obtained through a deal with me. It's essentially a product of cheating, so to prevent Kayaba Akihiko from finding out, we need to stay calm and be cautious."

"Kayaba Akihiko definitely knew a long time ago. He must have been watching you every day. He might have even been watching you and Asuna hugging and cuddling."

Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but retort, and Momo, naturally unwilling to back down, said, "Isn't that the same as you... Ouch!"

"Oh, Momo, what's wrong?"

Kirito, noticing Mo Mo's drastically changed expression, asked with concern. Mo Mo, enduring the pain of Reimu Hakurei tearing his hair, clutched his chest and said, "To be honest, my special ability has limitations. Although this blood vial is powerful, I can only make one a day. Therefore, to prevent Kayaba Akihiko from discovering it, and also to prevent everyone from becoming complacent because of this, let's keep it a secret for now."

"Once we've ensured that everyone in the strategy team has a bottle, we'll release the news so that everyone can get one fairly. What do you think of that?"

Seeing Mo Mo's pale face, Kirito's expression also turned serious. He said, "You're right, Mo Mo. We must be wary of Kayaba Akihiko. Since this thing has side effects on you, don't force yourself. Only by taking care of yourself can you do more for everyone."

"Thank you so much, Kirito!"

"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you. I want to thank you on behalf of all the players. With this, the difficulty of the strategy has been reduced by at least half."

In an instant, Kirito's "prejudice" against Momo vanished completely, replaced by admiration for her. No wonder a beautiful girl like Asuna would fall for Momo; someone as responsible and excellent in both temperament and character as Momo was the best choice.

As for Reimu Hakurei, who was watching the two of them sympathize with each other and covering her mouth as if she wanted to vomit, since no one saw her, there was no need to pay attention to her.

After confirming that Momo was alright, Kirito left, glancing back every few steps, heading towards the guild's headquarters. Although Momo had created two guilds, he naturally didn't have the money to buy large buildings to serve as guild headquarters. Therefore, Tilbell and Asuna could only choose a secluded corner each as their temporary base.

"It's done!"

Mo Mo watched Kirito leave, then stood up and stretched.

"Alas, I admire your shamelessness; today you have reached a new level of shamelessness."

"There's no other way. If word gets out, I'll have to keep making blood vials every day. Even if I use all four of my daily transactions to serve the people, I still can't meet the needs of nine thousand people."

"This is a large red potion without a cooldown. Once players get into the habit of using potions, I might not be able to make enough for just one player."

Reimu Hakurei was no longer surprised by Momo's shamelessness, and instead said admiringly, "You really have invented a new use. Have you thought of any other uses? What else can you do?"

There is so much that can be done.

Mo Mo drew his sword, which was enhanced to level 4, and said, "For example, if I buy enhancement times for someone's weapon and store them on my weapon, what do you think would happen?"

"An ancient divine weapon enhanced to +100?"

"You're overthinking it. The cap is only LV20. But even LV20 is enough to turn an ordinary weapon into a god-tier weapon. Right now, how to use this skill isn't the problem; the problem is that four uses a day are simply not enough."

"Come on, you're never satisfied. This is divine power, strong enough to reverse many causes and effects, and you're still not satisfied?"

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "So, humans are greedy creatures. If humans knew how to be content, there wouldn't be the great civilization we have today. Human desires are endless; we want more and more, and we strive for them—that's what makes humanity great!"

Reimu Hakurei nodded and said, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden, spouting a bunch of nonsensical platitudes?"

Momo winked quietly to the side, and Reimu followed Momo's gaze to see a female player with rat whiskers peeking out from a corner.

Seemingly realizing he had been discovered, Argo swaggered out as if nothing had happened, saying, "Suddenly inspired to write poetry?"

056 Unstoppable momentum

Mo Mo smiled and shook her head, tossing her beautiful hair, and said, "Not at all, it's just a summary of my experiences over the past hundred years. If there's a chance, could I invite you, beautiful lady, for a cup of tea so we can discuss this topic together?"

"Sigh, why don't you go and invite your Asuna? Besides, I'm just a teenage girl, I have no interest in a hundred-year-old man like you."

"puff--"

Mo Mo felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, as if he had been hit in the chest with a blunt object. He knelt on the ground in pain, supporting himself with one hand.

"Wow—that's exaggerated, but I won't fall for it. You playboy trying to trick me into helping you up so you can take the opportunity to push me down? Hmph, the clever Argo won't be fooled!"

Poor Momo, Argo was completely unaware of the extent of the damage his earlier remarks had caused him. Only Reimu Hakurei looked at Momo with pity and said, "A hundred-year-old man, a virgin, tsk tsk..."

"Shut up, you witch whose integrity is only worth 100,000 yuan! Be careful, or I'll buy your integrity ten thousand times over!"

"Pah! If you dare to actually come to Gensokyo, I'll be the first to kick you out."

Seeing Momo lying motionless on the ground, Argo glanced at him curiously and said, "Hey, there's no point in pretending anymore."

Momo sighed and stood up, saying, "Alas, Argo, you missed an opportunity to make me like you more. You should have cherished it."

"Ugh?"

Argo exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, then widened his eyes and said, "Does that mean if I catch him, I'll get another handsome boyfriend named Momo?"

"You'll get an extra Momo brand love pillow!"

"Fuck off!"

Momo chuckled and dodged Argo's ancestral technique, saying, "Alright, Argo, stop acting like a child. What's the matter? I don't think you're the type to just wander around aimlessly. If you really have some free time, why don't you go help Asuna?"

Argo puffed out his cheeks and said, "Keep talking about Asuna, shut up about Asuna! What's so great about Asuna? She's just taller, has longer hair, a prettier face, is more capable, and comes from a wealthy family..."

"thump--"

This time, Argo knelt down, a tear rolling down her cheek, and said, "I'm no match for her at all! Ah, how desperate! Who will comfort me!"

Seeing this, Mo Mo suddenly realized what was happening and turned around to shout into the distance, "Kirito—ouch!"

This time, Momo, who had turned around, finally couldn't escape Argo's second attack, a technique passed down through generations, and knelt down with Argo.

"You're such a terrible person. How could I have done that other day... Sigh, let's get down to business."

After saying that, Argo went into the bar and called out, "Boss, one of the most expensive dessert and one of the most expensive drinks, please."

"Are you trying to rob a rich person?!"

Mo Mo held his head in his hands, looking heartbroken, and walked into the bar. He sat down opposite Argo and said, "Is this how you spend my money?"

"Then how do we use it?"

"Boss, two of each, please! And pack the remaining one for her!"

"Nice Job! Boy!"

Seeing Argo eating and drinking heartily, Momo asked, "So, what's that guy up to?"

"Ah, the sweetness and texture are just wonderful... That guy? If you hadn't asked me to investigate him, I wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about him."

Argo pointed to his chin and said, "At first glance, he seemed quite mediocre, without any outstanding abilities, even worse than you and Kirito. But later I understood why you paid attention to him."

"This guy is too consistent. It's like he's really playing a game, and a seasoned veteran at that. It's not that his individual skills are exceptionally outstanding, but rather..."

Argo paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, then said, "Instead, he's like a natural leader. He's stable, able to guide the players around him, get everyone working together, and make what would otherwise be very difficult things very simple."

"I observed him leading a group of ordinary players in a boss battle. Those players were only at an average level, but under his command, they moved with great skill and strategy. A group of ordinary players managed to defeat the boss while their health was low. It gave me the chills, and I almost couldn't resist taking out my weapon to help."

"And then what?"

"After that? After that, I just glanced at them and saw those players crying their eyes out. They probably didn't expect to survive, and they were very grateful to him."

After saying that, Argo took another satisfying sip of juice and said, "Then I left. Hey, Momo, how did you figure out that this player named Heathcliff was really skilled?"

"Hmph, a man's intuition!"

"Pah, tell the truth!"

"Well, there's really nothing mysterious about it."

Mo Mo waved his hand and said, "After all, to be able to remain calm in the face of the current situation, he must either be very confident or fearless."

“A fearless person should never be underestimated. After hearing your description, I feel that it won’t be long before he stands on the same stage as us.”

"Is it really that amazing? What you're saying makes a lot of sense, but I feel like you're just trying to scare people."

"Your imagination."

"Hmph, that's a woman's intuition. Alright, here's the money, 1000 Coles for the information."

Momo took the money without hesitation, but gave Argo 2000 kol?

"Huh, what's going on? Are you planning to give me 1000 Coles for free? Or are you trying to buy my pure heart with 1000 Coles? Let me make it clear beforehand, if you want to buy my heart, 1000 Coles won't be enough, you'll need at least 10000 Coles."

"Oh, so you wanted me to buy your heart? You should have said so earlier!"

Without hesitation, Momo pulled out 10000 Coles, took Argo's hand, and said tenderly, "Miss Argo, may I buy your heart?"

Looking at Momo's face so close to hers, Argo's ears flushed slightly. She quickly pushed Momo's head back and said, "You rascal, you're teasing me on purpose, aren't you? You've been joking all along, but you actually took this one seriously!"

"Can't we take this seriously!"

Seeing the surprise on Momo's face, Argo became even more embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "If you dare to take it seriously, I dare to take it seriously too!"

"it's a pity."

"You coward... You back down as soon as I get serious. You have the guts to be a playboy, so why don't you actually make your move..."

Argo muttered these words to himself, which Momo naturally couldn't hear.

She didn't know what she was thinking. Even though Momo had confirmed his relationship with Asuna, she still couldn't take her mind off Momo.

While she vaguely hoped that Momo would change his mind, she also believed that she could never forgive a fickle man. This strange contradiction made it impossible for her to spend a long time alone with Asuna, which was also the psychological reason why she ran away with various excuses and did not help Asuna.

After all, Asuna and she were already good friends, and she couldn't stand seeing her friend so busy and overwhelmed.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! Give me 2000 Coles, this is the deposit, right? What else do you need me to give you 1000 Coles at once?"

Momo didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a few seconds before saying, "It's a long-term cooperative mission. One is to continue to keep an eye on the player Heathcliff, the second is to pay attention to news about me, as well as my two guilds, and the third is to keep an eye on the movements of Fang Wang."

"Finally, if there are any strange rumors circulating among players, even if they seem unbelievable, remember to write them down and tell me."

"Do you think I'm a mule?!"

"1000 Coles a week."

"make a deal!"
