Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"This time—I don't think there will be any students driving tanks to grab the cake."

Danrito looked around. It wasn't that he was afraid. Rather, he felt that tanks couldn't possibly threaten him. He just wanted to see if the Kivotos were always this tough.

"Well... of course not?"

Xiao Tao grumbled, "Cakes and the like, even if they're rare limited edition cakes, you don't have to drive a tank to grab them, right? They're not limited grain products."

"Driving a tank..." Kayoko seemed to have thought of something. "Come to think of it, I received a piece of intelligence before. It said that a Tiger tank from Pandemonium was driven out by the director of the Gourmet Research Society. As a result, a lot of funds were deducted because it was scrapped..."

Thinking of this, Kayoko's eyes turned strange. She looked at Danrito beside her, asking for confirmation: "...Could it be exactly what you said, Mr. President?"

"...Pfft."

Seeing Danrito's uncontrollable smile and the chuckle, it was enough for the clever Kayoko to understand the whole picture.

"Oh... okay." Kayoko sighed helplessly. She probably couldn't change the reputation she had. "Come to think of it, the only people who could drive a tank to grab a cake, probably the Food Research Society, would do something like that."

"Everyone, since we're here, just pick something up as a snack for the journey."

Danrito walked into the shop and waved his hand, inviting the three students beside him to pick out their cakes. Kayoko and Midori looked a little hesitant, but Momo, who was already quite familiar with Danrito, cheered and rushed off to pick her own dessert without hesitation.

"Sister... Really, every time it comes to this, you act like a little child."

Xiaolu sighed helplessly: "With my sister's personality, I'm afraid she will never grow up."

"Isn't that great? Only with a personality like this can you have unparalleled imagination when conceiving games."

Danrito actually thought highly of Momo and was delighted to see her full of energy. Just as Danrito was discussing which limited edition red velvet cake was with his mini-Himari on his phone, a familiar girl's voice rang out from the side.

"Huh? It's Mr. Danrito, what a coincidence."

Turning around and taking in the speaker's appearance, Dan Lidou raised an eyebrow. "What kind of day is it today? Why do I keep running into familiar people?"

"Haha, maybe this is fate?" Nomiya reached out and tucked his hair behind his ears. "Shouldn't Mr. Danrito's company be in the D.U district? This place is almost to the Abydos school district, right?"

"I happened to be going to Abydos for something, so it was just on my way."

Danrito had a hard time dealing with a girl like Nomiya, even if she was just a younger student. He turned his head awkwardly, staring at the cakes on the counter. "Hmm! And Nomiya... why are you here?"

"I'm buying snacks for everyone on the Strategy Committee." Nomiya showed the plate in his hand, which contained a few selected cakes. "I heard there's some really good cakes here, and it's close to Abydos, so I came here on my own."

As if to take credit, Nomiya came over and showed him the cake he had chosen. "Mr. Danrito, look, there's also a cake shaped like a whale. Hoshino-san will definitely like it~"

"Well, that's good..."

Danrito was so busy dealing with Nomiya's verbal and physical attacks that he didn't notice the 'Mini Hinami' on his phone, still in action even with the screen off. At that moment, using his phone as a carrier, a large amount of information was being sent to a server and passed on to the existence within.

"I say... is it really okay? That's Danrito, you know?"

Amy, who was on a 'field mission', was now in a completely unfamiliar building, and what was running in front of her was a familiar server - the same one that had appeared in the Paranormal Investigation Department before.

Hundreds of drones were operating in an orderly manner in a peculiar orbit around the building, forming a network defense with special functions, carefully removing the building from the "network".

"Even the Minister has to be extremely cautious when fighting him. The reason he hasn't been able to break through his defense so far is because he manages distance very well..."

Amy looked at the server running in front of her, a trace of worry in her eyes: "If we get discovered, considering Mr. Danrito's personality, he'll probably be very angry, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as he doesn't find out, it's fine. Sister Amy, thank you for bringing me here~"

"It's not hard..." Amy said in embarrassment: "Are you really sure? Do you really have to do such a dangerous thing?"

The voice, as clear and clear as a lark, was neither male nor female, neither old nor young. As if it hadn't yet fully defined its existence, it uttered a cheerful voice: "So-called 'probability' is such a simple yet mysterious thing~"

"Using a large number of irrelevant programs to interfere with the main program's operation, and then using 'probability' calculations to control each transmission of information to a level below the level of 'discovery'... Hmm, this is very similar to the entanglement relationship in 'quantum mechanics', don't you think so, Sister Amy?"

The cheerful voice echoed throughout the empty ruins along with the whirring of fans, the humming of machinery, and the surge of coolant. "Besides, can't I see who my 'father' really is?"

Faced with this question, Amy could only laugh and reveal an awkward smile: "Ahahaha... whatever you want, whatever you want..."

5一⑧０⑨0九

This entity in front of him, which had no real identity, or rather, was the 'existence' of this server, was using a dangerous tightrope-walking method to steal information from Danrito, a notorious villain whom no one had dared to mess with for thousands of years. Even so, it seemed that it was using a special method to cautiously contact the 'father' it had never met.

"Ha... let's finish it quickly."

Looking up at the ceiling, Amy, who hadn't dared to connect to the internet for safety reasons, sat on the floor in boredom. "Who did she copy this fearless attitude from?"

165. Nomiya is the woman who can become my mother!

"Ah~ Are you all going to visit our Abydos?"

Nomiya glanced at the four people before him. The Millennium Academy uniforms on Momo and Midori were instantly recognizable. Nomiya naturally smiled and greeted the two adorable children. As for Kayoko, who was standing nearby, Nomiya had heard Shiroko mention the attack. Although Nomiya hadn't witnessed the raid on Abydos by the four members of Convenience House 68, now that things had come to this point, Nomiya had the good sense to not bring it up again.

What's the saying? Students don't hold grudges overnight. Even the most intense fights were merely simple arguments to the students of Kivotos—and the situation in Abydos was truly exceptional.

"Well, my car is parked outside. If you're going this way, why don't you just take my car and go together?"

Nomiya, the self-proclaimed "Snack Team Leader of the Abydos School Closure Countermeasures Committee," had come out to buy snacks for the people of Abydos. Of course, in the past, a small electric scooter would have been enough to handle the problem without having to drive.

But now, the number of people in Abydos has increased tenfold or even ninefold. We can't just buy snacks for the original few companions and ignore these new students, right?

"Besides buying them for everyone on the Strategy Committee, the rest will be distributed to the students returning to Abydos."

Nomiya was as gentle as ever: "After all, Yumei and the others have contributed a lot to the reconstruction of the school. Although I know what they did in the past, considering that they are trying to atone for their sins, they should still have a share of snacks."

For these bad students who may have once been students of Abydos, who have harmed their own school and are now trying to atone for their sins - should they be called "pending students" now - they need some encouragement to build their confidence.

"They probably still think Abydos won't truly accept them. I think the most direct way to show goodwill is to give them snacks, right?"

Nomiya carried a large bag of snacks into the trunk of the off-road vehicle. These were the ones that Danrito had picked out from the huge pile of munitions that he had looted from Caesar's PMC. With that pile of armored vehicles, plus the tons of supplies looted from the desert and abandoned in the outposts when they were driven away, Abydos' firepower should not be lacking for a while.

Opening a bag of chocolates and taking out a few from it, Nomiya put them into Danrito's hand and said with a smile, "With these snacks, we have an excuse to sit down and relax and chat with each other."

"Wow... so dazzling..." Xiao Tao covered her eyes, "What's going on! This powerful Yasashi aura! Such a dazzling light!"

Xiaolu also nodded and said, "Nomiya-san is the one who can become everyone's mother!"

"Well, people like this...are simply saints."

Kayoko also felt the strength of the girl in front of her, that was the power of tolerance that could melt everything, and that broad and noble mind!

Apart from anything else, Nomiya is indeed very broad-minded.

After loading the snacks onto the SUV, everyone else also boarded the rather overly spacious vehicle. Originally a military-grade bulletproof SUV, the interior was made extra spacious for various reasons and possible scenarios. If only a few people were to sit inside, the back seat would be wide open, so they wouldn't even be able to touch each other.

Nomiya naturally sat in the driver's seat, Danrito sat in the passenger seat, and Kayoko and the Saiwa sisters sat in the back seat.

"Mr. Danrito, your visit to Abydos isn't just a return visit, is it?"

He stepped on the accelerator, the SUV roaring with oil, and Nomiya asked Danreto beside him with a smile. Nomiya knew that given Danreto's personality, he would never come to his house without a reason. He was still trying to figure out an excuse to invite Danreto out, and now Danreto came over on his own.

"Yes, we need to go to the Abydos Desert." Tan Lidou looked out the window at the river bridge passing by. Each school district is independent of each other, and their development is certainly different. "Part of it is a request from someone, and part of it is just my own curiosity."

How on earth did my energy reading end up in the Abydos Desert? And what a coincidence! That energy might, perhaps, possibly be related to me. After all, my Alchemist cartridge was manufactured around that time. Perhaps it was a power that was left behind at that time?

Danrito wasn't entirely sure, but that didn't stop him from sighing to himself and pretending, "Ah~ This is Kami's trouble~ Even a drop of residue falling from my fingertips can cause such a huge impact. As expected of me~"

"Mr. Danrito, everyone in Abydos has been eager to see you these days."

Nomiya drove expertly while telling Danrito about Abydos today. "With forty or fifty people suddenly showing up, the school's really become a lot more lively. Serika might always say things like, 'Hmph, let's just make them sweep the sand,' but everyone can see she's actually having a great time. After all, she's always looking forward to a happy school life."

That child, Serika, hadn't yet realized she'd been resurrected as a Collapse Form. After all, Collapse Forms are incredibly unconventional. They eat, drink, defecate, and urinate like normal humans, but when necessary, they can transform into a data form without food or drink—completely at the mercy of their own will, and they can't even be manipulated by a camera! They're truly an ultimate life form, even more perfect than Absolut!

"Really? That's good."

Danrito reached out and closed the car window. After driving over the bridge, a cloud of dust began to rise in the air. This was a characteristic of the Abydos school district. Due to the large-scale environmental changes, only this small amount of sand remained near the outskirts, which was considered a good example of greenery.

"Baizi-san is in a good mood right now, but he's been staring at the weapons and equipment in school every day thinking about how to rob a bank. He even drags Yumei-san and some new students to discuss tactics—"

Nomiya chuckled and said, "But fortunately, Hoshino always stopped them from actually carrying out their plans, so every time the bank robbery plan just stayed on paper. But this kind of tactical thinking has become part of Baizi's after-school entertainment now. After all, there are a lot more big guys."

Nomiya.jpg

166. The technique of escaping from the shell is perfect

As for now, Bai Zi's combat drills have become the biggest entertainment in the school. According to her, this is called "preventing trouble before it happens." She must practice, and practice hard!

"After all, we never know when it will be used, so it is necessary to practice the emergency plan first!" These were Bai Zi's original words.

"--Where is that emergency plan supposed to be used, Shirako-chan!" This was Hoshino trying to stop Shirako.

"Hahaha, it looks like your lives are recovering well." Dan Lidou said with a smile: "Caesar Group hasn't made any big moves in these days, right?"

"Only twice have they used debt as a threat to demand the return of confiscated weapons and equipment." At this point, Nomiya's smile faded a little. "Caesar Credit plans to raise the interest on the debt and require Abydos to bear the corresponding 'unexpected losses'—essentially rendering all our previous payments in vain."

"Hmm... you guys didn't agree, did you?" Dan Lidou stretched his neck. Over the past few days, Dan Lidou's Huanmeng Group had raked in quite a bit of money. While there was still a significant gap between him and the massive Caesars Group, which had a presence throughout Kivotos, it had established a firm foothold in the market. However, competing with Caesars in commercial terms was still a bit lacking.

"Of course not."

The evidence collected from Caesar Credit was handed over to the Central Student Union, and Lin, who was in charge of the Central Student Union, was very polite and sent the Finance Department, who were in charge of finance, with the Valkyrie Army to attack Caesar Credit in Abydos. The result was that Caesar Group made a drastic decision and directly cut ties. All the faults were placed on the head of the branch manager, and all the internal business of Caesar Credit was inherited by another credit company with a different name, but also a Caesar enterprise.

Nomiya, steering with his hands, turned the street in front of him and said hello to a Shiba Inu uncle selling ramen on the side of the road. "Although the Central Student Union has declared most of its illegal loan projects invalid, Caesar Group has retained some of them. The original loan contract signed with the Abydos Student Union President was legal. So, taking the principal of the loan, plus the legal interest rate over the years, Abydos still owes Caesar 300 million credits. Of course, it sounds a lot less than before, right?"

Novel 9

Dan Lidou hummed, "So, Caesars Group is planning to use this debt to make further profits?"

"Under the supervision of the Central Student Union, this loan has become a loan calculated at a legal interest rate. However, because it happened so long ago, every detail is under the control of the Caesars Group. Even the Central Student Union can't get them to repay it," Nomiya said helplessly. "The money we paid in before that already exceeded the principal. But if the Caesars Group calculates the repayment based on interest first and then principal, then all the money we paid in before that won't count."

Previously, Danrito used abnormal means to obtain evidence of various crimes from Caesar Credit, which did to a certain extent hit the arrogance of the Caesar Group in Abydos, and even forced Caesar Credit to be unable to force Baizi and others for a period of time. However, the trick of cutting off the tail and escaping was quite realistic for Caesar.

"As for the weapons, we can't return them to Caesar," Nomiya said seriously. "We were forced to that extent by Caesar before because we were too weak and powerless, so we were bullied to that extent. Now these weapons are the foundation of our protection, so of course we won't hand them over."

"Finally, you're getting smarter." Danrito nodded with satisfaction, "But you still don't have a solution for dealing with the Caesars Group."

"That's right, for now..." Nomiya felt a little embarrassed. Danrito had solved so many problems for them, but in the end, the situation had only improved slightly. "With our current arsenal and the two buildings you left behind, unless Caesar breaks off relations with Kivotos and launches an all-out war against Abydos, they won't be able to do anything to us in a military conflict."

"But regarding the debt, we're obviously unwilling to continue pouring money into this bottomless pit. However..." Nomiya sighed, "As long as this thorn remains, Caesar will always have moral power over Abydos."

If the debt wasn't repaid, Caesar had plenty of ways to suppress Abydos from all angles, and paying it back would be a bottomless pit. The previous lightning-fast separation had already allowed Caesars Group to distance itself from this relationship—it was just a regional branch, and the wealthy Caesars didn't care about that!

"In short, just delay." Dan Lidou snapped his fingers. "After I messed with Caesar Group, their control over the Abydos region has declined significantly. Plus, the land here is now desert, and there's basically no output—"

As Danrito said this, he stole a glance at Nomiya beside him. Perhaps because what Danrito said was true, Nomiya didn't show much disappointment. "That's true. After all, this is Abydos' disadvantage."

The reason for the barren land in their school district was clear: the sand that had buried everything beneath. Abydos Academy used to be a truly vast and rich place, boasting numerous drone factories. Now, even those things were buried beneath the desert.

Of course, in addition to these factories, there is also the "Abydos Heritage" that the Caesar Group has been thinking about. These things are buried deeper than those factories, and the current troubles are obviously caused by the fight for the heritage under the yellow sand.

"Caesar will definitely not give up the money they've invested in this area. He'll have to take possession of the excavation site." Tan Lidou snorted, then smiled knowingly. "By interfering with everything they're planning, we can regain control of the Abydos region. I want to see who gets so anxious that they jump up and down."

The establishment of the Dream Group, in addition to Dan Lito's own obsession, was also partly due to the stimulation of the Caesar Group, especially the Caesar director who dared to openly threaten Dan Lito - although the other party was shot in the head the next second.

However, for Danrito, it is obviously not enough to just kill this robot director.

If you dare to say such harsh words to my face today, I can’t even imagine what you’ll do tomorrow! I hit it hard!

This is also the reason why the Huanmeng Group is currently growing at a breakneck pace. While the Central Student Union's generous green light is certainly a factor, allowing for what should be done and ignoring what should be ignored, the leadership of Danrito, a genius in his own right, also played a decisive role.

It is swallowing up various types of enterprises on the market at a slow and steady pace, and its all-round market coverage is exactly the same as its rival Caesar Group, aiming to compete with the other party.

167. The smell is strong and powerful!

"I seem to have said a lot... Oh, sorry for ignoring you."

Nomiya suddenly felt as if he'd been chatting with Danrito the entire time, completely oblivious to the three students from other schools behind him. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw that Momo and Lu had given up trying to understand what they were saying half an hour ago and had instead pulled out their Game Girl consoles. The two sisters began to battle in the game world.

Kayoko, on the other hand, had a serious expression on her face. It looked like she had understood everything and had even analyzed a lot from the conversation between Nomiya and Danrito, now immersed in her own thoughts. Seeing this, Nomiya breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, everyone in this car has their own things to do."

"We're here, get off the bus~"

Danrito stretched and casually opened the car door. Nomiya had already driven the car onto the Abydos Academy grounds. A tin shed had been erected on a vacant lot, serving as a garage. Much of the loot from the previous battle was stored in these newly constructed garages. The attack helicopters, considered their most valuable weapon, had even been specially constructed for them by the Abydos people. To achieve this, the entire Kivotos team had spent three days manually clearing a patch of land near the school. This was probably the first time in Abydos's history that they had actively expanded their territory.

"Wow—it's really all sand~" Xiao Tao opened her mouth in surprise, and then ate a few grains of sand, "Pah... isn't there too much sand here?"

"It's Abydos after all, everyone's used to it." Nomiya came over with a smile on his face: "Welcome to Abydos Academy~"

The sun in Abydos is different from that in other places. Here, it is even more intense. If you find a spot on the roof of the teaching building to look out, you can see the golden sunlight shining on the golden sand, reflecting a magnificent scenery like gold - even though it is a scenery created by disaster.

"That's it..." Kayoko looked at the two buildings that stood out from the playground. One of them was familiar to her: the dungeon where she'd been imprisoned for so long. After being defeated by Danrito, Mutsuki had joked that this was a new form of imprisonment used by a perverted uncle, which frightened the obedient Aru.

Because they left in such a hurry, Kayoko had not had a good look at the other of the two buildings, the one that looked a bit out of place with the surroundings and looked a bit like a thousand-year-old glass greenhouse.

"Greenhouse, isn't it beautiful?" Nomiya walked over to Kayoko's side. "The greenhouse left by Mr. Danrito is a magical building. There's a group of cute and strange cats helping to manage it. The vegetables we eat now are all grown in this greenhouse."

"Production..." Kayoko was stunned: "Just this greenhouse? Is it enough for more than fifty of you?"
