Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

"Invited to provide commentary for the 'Holy Grail War'."

"Although Jimi doesn't quite understand what this Holy Grail War is all about (whispering)."

However, this doesn't prevent Jimi from judging that it will most likely be promoted after hosting this event.

Just then, Jimi, who was still happily daydreaming, was pushed aside by another figure.

Hanabi: "Too slow~ Too slow~"

"Ahem~ I'm Hanabi~ And now, I'm also your beloved host."

"Since none of the tavern's owners are keen to get involved, well, there's nothing we can do—Hanabi-sama will have to step in!"

"But don't worry~ In the days to come, Lady Hanabi will definitely do her job well, to properly fan the flames, oh no~ I mean to host! You all misheard~"

Jimi snapped back to the camera: "For those viewers who are unclear about what happened, here's a little explanation: The Holy Grail War is a game in which 'Masters' summon 'Heroic Spirits' from the past to cooperate and compete for the Holy Grail."

"It can be said that the Master's strength is not important; what truly matters is the strength of the Heroic Spirit."

Hanabi: "Although I don't really know who the lucky ones are all over the world."

"But Lady Hanabi, I remember... among those who have been forced into this Holy Grail War, there seems to be a general and a genius from the Celestial Ship?"

"Is the Master's strength really unimportant?"

Just then, the director (Aha) panned the camera to the present, focusing on the several Celestial Generals and the geniuses of the "Genius Club"—

Jing Yuan stood on a tall building, holding a teacup in his hand with nowhere to put it, clearly having been brought in by the Holy Grail while drinking tea.

He squinted slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, looking completely harmless.

The Dreamy Bar—Feixiao appeared here.

Throwing a flying bird into a bar is no different from throwing a mouse into a rice jar.

Fortunately, the bartender, Mr. Shu, was not there.

Oh no! Feixiao enthusiastically mixed her own drinks! She even put a bunch of cigarettes on the bar, as if she paid for them.

But... this amount of money is probably not enough, of course, not for the drinks.

Hopefully, the Nightmare Bar will still exist after this incident.

During his "golden hour," Huaiyan simply stood with his hands behind his back and looked up, like a leisurely old man, happily watching the excitement.

Yao Guang appeared in "Blue Moment," examining the Command Seal in her hand.

Yin and Yang flow, the Eight Trigrams overlap, giving rise to the Sixty-Four Hexagrams. Although their power and spirit are not yet manifest, there is still the sound of thunder resounding from the Gen Mountain.

Yao Guang was divining and also trying to modify the incantations in his hand.

Who would be so unreasonable as to directly change Command Seals?

Some brothers—there are ten more like this who are completely unreasonable—

For example, now the director has cut the camera to the "Huichangshi" ship, and these geniuses have all changed the Command Seals according to their own wishes.

Unlimited use is just the most basic requirement.

Unreasonable? Yes, it is unreasonable.

For ordinary people, genius is no different from the Holy Grail.

Since it's already the 'Holy Grail', what's wrong with making a small change to the Command Seals?

The Holy Grail: A wish.

Jimi: "Ahem, let me correct you—in this Holy Grail War, the Master's strength isn't that important."

"The strength of the Heroic Spirits—is the decisive factor in the vast majority of cases that determines victory or defeat in this Holy Grail War."

Hanabi: "Some viewers may have questions~ How strong are the Heroic Spirits? Are they as strong as they were in life?"

"What if the summoned heroic spirit is a famous but weak scholar?"

"According to my inside information, which isn't exactly insider information, Lord Hanabi."

"The strength of a Heroic Spirit depends on their legends and historical background—"

"The legends and historical background of Heroic Spirits are an important source of their core power. Their historical status endows them with great power—namely, Noble Phantasms and skills."

"Noble Phantasms are the signature weapons or abilities of Heroic Spirits, and usually possess great power."

"Skills include combat skills, support skills, etc. The level and effect of these abilities directly affect the combat power of the heroic spirit."

Fireworks' high level of professionalism made Jimi suddenly feel a little pressured.

Are all the fools in taverns this lazy these days? Do they even have to find time to learn how to host?

No, I can't let myself be overshadowed, otherwise I might not only fail to get promoted but also be demoted!

Jimi was simply forced into this situation and now knows almost nothing, is penniless, and can only continue to wait.

He could only occasionally chime in with a few words to make his presence known, and manage to make the most of the time to learn about this "Holy Grail War"—

Chapter 424 Springtime War God O Karira

Hanabi: "So don't worry~ Even if someone was a weak person who was not good at fighting in history, the Heroic Spirits will gain great power through history and legends."

Jimi: "So, host Hanabi~ viewers must be very curious about the specific strength of the Heroic Spirits' power. Could you perhaps reveal a little bit about it?"

Hanabi: "Of course, no problem~ Host Jimi. I love helping people solve their problems the most."

"Each of the so-called Heroic Spirits possesses a magical power equivalent to that of a Fated Traveler, the specific level of which depends on the history and legends mentioned earlier."

"However, it is said that the power granted to Heroic Spirits by the Holy Grail War... has a maximum limit of being a Commander~"

"However, reaching the limit would require very strict requirements for the heroic spirit's achievements, right?"

Jimi: "I see. It seems that even if a Master wants to obtain the Holy Grail through personal strength, they don't have a complete guarantee of victory~"

Hanabi: "By the way, there's one more thing to mention~ The selection range for Heroic Spirits should be all realms in the universe."

"There are three other factors that affect the strength of a Heroic Spirit: mystery, popularity, and local bonus."

"The first two don't need much explanation, right? You can tell from the words that they are basically mutually exclusive."

"As for the third point... when a Heroic Spirit is summoned in a place where he was once active, he may receive a local bonus."

These are the native Servants of Pinocchio, the location of the Holy Grail War.

"If someone could summon them, they might be the dark horse to win the championship!"

Jimi: "The company has quickly completed a round of Master composition statistics."

"Besides the locals of 'Pinocone,' and the few celestial ships that have temporarily remained stationed there to thwart the 'Antimatter Legion's' massive uprising and protect the civilized world from harm."

"The Masters are distributed very evenly."

As for how the company completed the preliminary statistics so quickly?

Electronic devices—my friends!

Almost everyone carries their mobile phone with them at all times.

If you want to investigate, you only need to monitor the signal.

Privacy? You must be joking.

Jimi: "Unexpectedly, almost every lower-level employee at 'Pierpoint' was selected."

Fireworks: "So many? The company headquarters really won't shut down, will they?"

"Director, cut to the camera."

In this joyful atmosphere of the control room, even Hanabi is directing Aha!

The screen focused on several lower and middle-level employees at the company headquarters, "Pierpoint".

Of course, the middle and lower ranks here are relative; the lowest rank they are is P35.

In the scene, most of them, at least two-thirds, were ordered to abandon the "Holy Grail War" and return to "Pierpoint".

To ensure the smooth operation of "Pierpoint" and to safeguard the company's peaceful endeavors.

Of course, this wasn't just the case here; most of the lucky employees from various planetary branches were also ordered to return.

The remaining third was tacitly approved by the company after weighing the operation of "Interstellar Peace Corporation," as they also wanted to see what this "Holy Grail War" was all about.

The people who remain now are the company's outreach and influence.

Most of the company employees who received the notice reluctantly complied with the order and gave up.

Hanabi: "Oh my gosh~ It seems they chose the more realistic Credits over dreams~"

"That's true. After all, the Holy Grail is cruel; with so many people vying for a single spot, the odds are even lower than the 'Interstellar Lotto.'"

"Oh no~ As we all know, the Star Lottery is based on statistics, and statistics and probability cannot be equated."

Jimi: "Miss Fireworks is quite eloquent, but let me clarify something first: 'Interstellar Lotto' is perfectly fair."

“Every day, countless poor people become rich overnight.”

"Please rest assured that the company's reputation is not a fool's joke."

Jimi, as expected of someone who has seen it all, deliberately highlighted the Fool's reputation, thus subtly protecting the company's business.

But... is there really such a big difference between a company's reputation and a fool's joke?

Hanabi, who had somehow gotten hold of Jimi's phone, exclaimed, "Oh dear~ The company headquarters is almost empty. It seems the executives at 'Pierpoint' are all quite 'dreamy'~"

Jimi: "Ahem, look! Finally, someone's taken the lead and started summoning Heroic Spirits—"

"I declare—Your body is under my command; my destiny is bound to your sword..."

"If you wish to follow this logic and join this grand mass celebration, then respond to this absurd farce!"

"The spirits of heroes from the past—"

Hook stumbled along, following the common sense given by the Command Spell, reciting the altered prayer.

Then, full of anticipation, she did not use the so-called holy relic.

Hooke doesn't know anything.

Furthermore, Hook wanted to see who he could summon based on compatibility.

A flash of light appeared, and a valiant knight with androgynous features emerged from the ceremony. He wore magnificent armor, with metal ornaments resembling wings adorning his back.

Her light green hair resembled the vibrant life of spring.

Galiluo: "Knight of the Order of the Knights—Galiluo greets you, my Master."

Hook: "Wow~ What a cool knight!"

Karila: "Master...you carry my former spear with you."

Hook: "Is there? Let Hook look for it..."

"is it this one?"

Hook pulled out the very spear he had sent to Zhuxing in Chapter 60, asking Zhuxing to help him identify any unusual items.

Because the treasure detector had emitted a rather bright light on it.

However, after a quick look, I didn't find anything particularly unique about it.

So I forgot about it, and only remembered it when Hook came to Space City, so I returned Hook to him.

Hooker forgot to return the filth to the "Belberg" museum.

Galila: "Indeed, I must have been called by it."

Hook: "Here you go~ Hook thought it was an affinity summon. I didn't expect this to count as a relic..."

Galiluo took the spear, somewhat nostalgic.

Galil: "Although I have no intention of fighting, if Master intends to seize the Holy Grail... then I am willing to do my best."

Hook: "By the way, Mr. Knight, where are you from?"

"hey-hey..."

Hook smiled sheepishly: "Heroic Spirits are all famous and powerful figures. But Hook is young and has never heard of this name before."

Galiluo: "Me? A pure and beautiful knight, from the universe, from a little-known planet, a planet that doesn't even have a name."
