Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Mo Mo smiled and said, "Yes, why would I draw my sword against you?"

"Does Mo Mo Jun mean to say that we have no grudges against each other and there is no need to fight? If so, such a reason will disappoint me. The money and weapons in your possession are already a huge attraction for us. Do we need a reason to kill?"

As he spoke, PoH drew his weapon from his waist. It was a thick-backed short sword, but surprisingly, it was shaped like a large iron ruler. The only difference was that one side of the blade was sharpened.

Or to put it simply, this knife is a woodcutter's knife.

"Oh, how fitting! Mo Mo, is your death day near?! It really is a hatchet!"

"Yeah, how scary! Is this knife meant to cut me?"

These were the words Momo said to PoH.

"Ha ha……"

"whee……"

A dozen or so red-named players moved around, surrounding Momo. PoH continued to stare directly at Momo, while the smile on Momo's face never wavered.

"Well, this knife is indeed for cutting people, but I think it's a bit too narrow. If I could have a short and sturdy knife in the future, preferably one shaped like a kitchen knife or a butcher's knife, that would be my favorite."

"That kind of knife can sever a player's neck, limbs, and torso in one swift motion; that's a truly sharp knife!"

"I'm just curious, Mo Mojun, aren't you really afraid of this knife of mine? Is it meant to be used against you? I've been observing you since just now, and you're not afraid because you don't seem worried at all that we'll attack you."

"Why is that? Tell me, I'm really curious!"

PoH waved his hand, and the red-named players around him retreated. He continued, "You know, many of the players around us were eliminated or kicked out by your Watcher Knights. They hate you just as much. Aren't you worried?"

Mo Mo stroked his chin, revealing a playful smile, and said, "Or, I believe I have the ability to take care of all of you at once? That's also a possibility worth considering."

Mo Mo's words immediately caused a commotion. Several impatient red-named players drew their weapons and scanned Mo Mo's body with ill intent, seemingly looking for a spot to attack.

"How could such a thing be possible!" PoH smiled dismissively and said, "No matter how strange this place is, it's still just a game. Although he described your strength as unbelievably powerful, a game is still a game. No matter how strong a player is, can they be stronger than a GM?"

Mo Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah, how could anyone be stronger than a GM? So there must be something wrong here, right? After all, this game isn't an ordinary game."

PoH stared at Mo Mo for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Yeah, it's really hard for me to choose! If he really used the system to issue a task or offer a reward, I would really kill you, Mo Mo. But the fact that he's making it so serious makes it harder for me to do it."

"But you still can't refuse his conditions, and neither can you, can you?"

Mo Mo countered with a question, and PoH nodded without hesitation, saying, "Yes, an offer you can't refuse—it's a temptation that takes your life! Mo Mo, I shouldn't have asked you this, but this offer is just too generous. It makes me feel like there's something to be gained from you. So, Mo Mo, tell me what your offer is?"

"However, the terms must be generous. After all, the other party is a GM. We have no reason to rebel against a GM in a game, especially when they hold our lives in their hands."

PoH flipped the machete in his hand and said, "How we act depends on how Mr. Momo and Mr. Tuhao persuade us. So, Mr. Tuhao, how about I give you one minute? One minute to convince us."

"One minute?"

Mo Mo shook his finger and said, "One sentence is enough."

PoH's eyes gleamed as he said, "Let me hear your terms."

"So, PoH, all you red-named players here, let's all join together and become heroes of justice, shall we?"

Mo Mo's words were like a cold wind, freezing all time and space at the scene, leaving everyone stunned. Even the machete that PoH was constantly twirling stopped, and PoH barely managed to hold it in his hand, crooked and unsteady.

They felt they had heard the funniest joke in the world, like someone saying to the demons in the eighteenth level of hell, "Come to heaven with me." How could that not be funny?

But they couldn't laugh.

What does this condition mean?

ridicule?

insult?

provocative?

A test?

Players who weren't thinking clearly were completely bewildered and turned to those around them for help. Even a character as cunning as PoH, who controlled a group of killers, fell silent.

Has Mo Mo gone mad?

On the first day of the game, some people might have thought that way, but he proved them wrong with just one sentence, "Do you know me?", and made everyone truly understand this somewhat impetuous but handsome young man.

Now, Momo controls the most powerful guild, the Watchers Knights, and the largest secondary profession player base, Rose Garden. These two are enough to form the core of the entire Aincrad strategy.

If you call a player like that a fool, people will just think you're the fool.

So what exactly does this sentence mean?

Just as Momo said, one sentence was enough. One sentence filled PoH with confusion and doubt, and forced Momo to continue.

“You win, Mo Mojun. Go on, I suddenly feel like we have plenty of time to talk.”

079 I lost, didn't I?

"No no no!"

Mo Mo shook his finger and said, "Although I also think we have plenty of time to talk and even a lot in common, I think it would be easier for our negotiations to proceed if I just state my conditions directly."

Most red-named players couldn't understand the conversation between Momo and PoH. However, PoH held immense authority among these red-named players, and many looked at him with a hint of fanaticism.

That really surprised me.

PoH stared at Momo and said, "What I'm sure of now is that you have similar power to me. So, I thought you would give me a long lecture and try to subdue me with words."

PoH's language is not standard Japanese, but rather a mix of foreign accents and many English words and phrases. Combined with his rap-like tone, it always manages to attract attention and even convince others.

This was a skill PoH was proud of, and now he believed that Momo possessed the same ability.

"If this ability surprises you, then what's next..."

Momo held up three fingers.

"I make three promises to you."

Everyone's spirits lifted, especially PoH, who stared intently at Mo Mo's expression, trying to deduce from Mo Mo's face how much truth and how much falsehood he had told.

This isn't PoH being cynical; Kayaba Akihiko told him quite a few lies when they first met. PoH doesn't trust Kayaba Akihiko, nor does he trust Momo. Perhaps the only person he can truly trust in this world is himself.

However, he had no choice but to believe Mo Mo's words after that.

Momo activated the transaction power.

"First, I will make the same promises to you as Kayaba Akihiko did to you. What he can do, I will do as well."

"Secondly, as long as I am here, everything you do will be considered right, and you will not be held accountable. In fact, I will reward you with honors and prizes."

"Thirdly, this is directed at PoH himself."

Mo Mo smiled slightly, revealing a sharp gaze, and had Reimu Hakurei convey his thoughts.

"Is killing people in the game enough? Is that enough? Do you want to experience more excitement? Do you want to feel more battles? Do you want to be treated as a hero and experience the thrill of blood splattering everywhere?"

"If you agree, how about pledging allegiance to me? I promise, fighting will be just another ordinary part of your daily life. Interested, PoH?"

PoH was somewhat surprised that Momo could speak directly into his mind, but was immediately drawn in by Momo's words.

His lips twitched, and the muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably. In the end, all of this rejected the commands sent from his brain to his face, resulting in a distorted smile.

This is a smile that comes from the soul and instinct, beyond the control of the brain and willpower; it is a longing of the soul.

Murder, bloodshed, excitement.

A few words were a crazy temptation for PoH, making his heart pound wildly.

"Oh no, oh no!"

PoH covered his face, desperately trying to hide the smile on his lips, but his body trembled instinctively, filled with instinctive excitement.

Trembling with excitement.

"This is terrible! Why? Mo Mojun, I believed you, I believed you could do it, and I... I'm completely smitten!"

Seeing PoH's current state, the surrounding red-named players actually retreated in fear, and some even looked at Momo with pleading eyes, as if they no longer regarded Momo as an enemy.

"President, calm down!"

Sasha, with her red eyes, spoke up at this moment, saying, "Although this guy is definitely related to this game, we can't believe him just because he said so! Does he really think he can do it just because he says so?"

"The other side, the other side is... it's him!"

Sasha, with her red eyes, couldn't understand why her guild leader, PoH, was so agitated, even though Momo was just spouting empty words.

However, what he didn't know was that Momo had already activated the transaction authority. The three promises were three transaction requests for PoH. Whether Momo could fulfill them would be determined by the transaction authority itself.

Now, PoH has clearly received a transaction request, which means that Momer's promise can be fulfilled.

A slight smile appeared on Mo Mo's lips.

"Hey, you just bribed PoH like that? Isn't he a villain? And didn't you make a deal with Kayaba Akihiko, saying you absolutely couldn't reveal the truth about the game in any way?"

Mo Mo shrugged and said, "Regarding the second question, I didn't reveal any information. I was just conducting a small experiment. I don't even know what conditions Kayaba Akihiko proposed, so it's very likely to fail."

"Moreover, I cannot reveal any truth about the game. As for PoH, he already had doubts about all of this, and now he is just more certain of his own thoughts."

"Remember, it was he who made up his mind, not me who told him, right?"

Reimu Hakurei was speechless. "Are you still circumventing the rules of the trading authority?" she asked.

"The only rule governing the exercise of trading power is that it must be based on equivalence, fairness, and voluntariness. As for the other rules, they are all rules set by human logic, so how could they be without loopholes?"

Mo Mo smiled indifferently and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Kayaba Akihiko is using his GM status to swindle people. He did indeed say in the deal that he hadn't used his administrator privileges to modify any game content again, but what's the difference between what he's doing now and modifying the game content?"

"Little Reimu, don't worry about it too much, everyone's doing it."

"But... well, I get it. Anyway, neither of you are any good people."

"Ugh, it's a human... no, I mean a Heroic Spirit, it's definitely not a good bird."

Reimu Hakurei, already immune to Momo's irreverent behavior, said, "Then why did you want to take PoH back? Isn't he a serial killer?"

"A serial killer?"

Mo Mo showed a surprised expression, as if he was hearing the news for the first time, and said, "Reimu, I thought Laughing Coffin was an idealist organization dedicated to liberating all players who were misled by Kayaba Akihiko, and willing to bear the infamy for it."

"PoH, Sasha with the red eyes, all the red-named players in front of you, aren't they heroes?"

"They are heroes! Doesn't every player with a red name represent that they have freed at least one poor soul trapped in this fraudulent game?"

Reimu Hakurei suddenly realized something, somewhat incredulous, and murmured to herself, "I understand..."

At this moment, PoH responded to Sasha with red eyes, saying, "Alright, Sasha, I know what to do. I know exactly what to do. You just need to trust me as always."
