Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

244. The Perfect Conclusion of the Chronicle Cassette

"Ah... How should I put it? Seeing you guys still in this state, I feel like I can't justify charging you money..."

Qinxiang still remembered the awkward look on Xiaotao's face as she rubbed the back of her head and spoke: "After all, these are all cats I'm dealing with. I just put them to work. But these cats don't actually need to be paid. It's more like... a construction simulation game?"

Hmm, I don’t quite understand what Xiaotao said.

However, it is true that Xiaotao helped build many buildings in Abydos.

New teaching buildings and dormitories rose from the ground, spacious sand-proof hangars and garages, warehouses for emergency use, indoor gymnasiums, and a swimming pool that completely defied the laws of physics and common sense—where did the water in it come from? They still hadn't figured it out.

"Hmm...but I asked Xiaotao to build a few more greenhouses, so now we have no shortage of products that can be grown."

Passing by the greenhouse, Qinxiang recalled the functional buildings she'd asked Xiaotao to build, including this greenhouse, which everyone had specifically requested. "No need to invest seeds, just continuously increase the 'planting level' to unlock more crops, and then grow them out of thin air, completely ignoring common sense—this thing completely subverts all perspectives!"

Any crop that can be grown can be grown in this so-called "greenhouse." From the most basic cucumbers, eggplants, yams, carrots, to watermelons, strawberries, oranges, durians, barley, wheat, rice, to flowers and coffee beans—

You heard right. Anything that can be grown can be grown in this small greenhouse. It's these small greenhouses that are now responsible for supplying food to the Abydos cafeteria. Ayane would come to the greenhouse every now and then. To her, this is a treasure that fell from the sky—how much money can it save Abydos!

"It's truly astonishing that out-of-season fruits can be grown..." Qinxiang muttered as she walked into the teaching building and towards the reception room, "Are game cartridges such magical things? I wish I could use them too..."

"—So I'm planning to launch the 'Chronicle Project' event in Abydos, using the desert resort you're currently building. The limited-area participation in this new event will definitely boost Abydos' popularity and generate revenue. Of course, the most important thing is that I've completed my 'Abydos Chronicles' cassette."

Serika blinked, looked at Danrito, who seemed to have finished his last sentence, then looked at the other Abydos Committee members sitting in the room, and shook her cat ears: "Um...is this discussion over?"

It took Danrito three minutes to fill in the missing memory for the cat, who hadn't attended the class. At the end, Serika nodded in sudden realization, "I see. So, in order to produce the game cartridge you mentioned, 'Chronicles of Abydos,' Danrito, it needs to be completed on Abydos soil by Abydos students. So, you're planning to hold an event here, right?"

Tan Lidou nodded and said, "You are a teachable kid. It seems your IQ is finally high enough to reach the top of my feet."

"Hey!!"

"I'm not Hey, I'm Kami." Danrito snapped his fingers. "How about it? Do you agree to this deal? Using this Chronicle event will not only quickly liven up the atmosphere in Abydos, but also increase the popularity of Abydos, which is almost unknown. You can also make some money and increase traffic to your resort project."

"Um..." Ayane raised her hand. "Mr. Danrito, what I want to know is why the game cartridge 'Chronicles of Abydos' is called that. And like Momo's 'King of Cats' cartridge, does it have any special abilities?"

"As expected of the responsible Ayane-san, the questions she raises are all on point."

Danrito raised his eyebrows in understanding and nodded. "'Abydos Chronicles' is part of the 'Kivotos Chronicles' I'm planning to develop. A chronicle is a way of recording history through events. Translated into a cartridge concept, it will be a game cartridge that uses 'Abydos's history' as fuel, extracting power from the long history of 'Abydos'."

"And this cartridge, if it can be formed correctly according to my calculations, will be able to bring the mysterious 'blessing' of the school district itself to the students of Abydos who use it, as well as the power to master 'reversal'."

"Reversal..." Hoshino's face turned a little unhappy when she heard this. She also remembered the appearance she had become after being used for a reversal experiment by the adult named Kurofu in the laboratory in the middle of the desert. "Is it... the type that forces her to go berserk in exchange for absolute power?"

"Huh? I don't want to be a human, so why would I want such a worthless power?"

Danrito frowned and said, "A power that can go berserk means it's not a finished product. If something can't be perfectly controlled, then isn't it just garbage?"

"The principle of 'reversal' is as simple as turning a coin over to reveal its back." Danrito raised his chin. As he continued to understand the laws of this world, he also gained some insights into what the people in the Shumikai were pursuing. "So, if we just turn the coin over, does that mean the back side isn't part of the coin anymore?"

"My answer is this: whether it's heads or tails, it's the 'essence' of the coin. It's just that the human eye can't see both sides of the coin simultaneously. So when the coin flips to the other side, people who haven't yet perceived that side will think it's 'not the same coin.'"

Danrito turned his gaze towards Hoshino. "In the past, there was a heated debate in the scientific community about whether light was a wave or a particle, until one scientist made a bold statement."

"Light is both a wave and a particle."

"Why can't we maintain the powerful power of 'reversal' while also maintaining the sanity and cognition we had before 'reversal'?"

Danrito spread his hands and expressed his advanced ideas to the students before him: "This is the perfect conclusion that the Abydos Chronicle, and even the Kivotos Chronicle, should show me."

245. The Chicken Coop Battle Royale is about to begin

"The production of the Abydos Chronicles cartridge requires the joint efforts of students from Abydos. This means we can only complete the game cartridge with your help."

Danrito stood with his hands clasped. "After all, this game cartridge draws upon the history and mysterious power of Abydos itself. Without the help of students from Abydos, its power and efficiency would be greatly diminished."

"I understand. Leave this matter to us."

The first one to agree was Nomiya. The long analysis that Danrito had given before was actually explaining what this cartridge could be used for.

After listening to the end, although there were still some parts that he didn't understand, Nomiya could still hear that this cartridge was a cartridge that could help everyone in Abydos become stronger.

After going through all the hardships before, Nomiya also understood that if they did not protect their own strength, everything they had developed now might be taken away by others in the end.

"You have helped us so much, now it's time for us to repay you."

Shiroko nodded softly. She might not have quite grasped what Danrito was trying to do. She'd probably just heard that he wanted to create a game cartridge about Abydos and needed their help. But for Shiroko, that much understanding was enough.

"Yeah...it seems like everyone's really motivated. So, I have no reason to refuse. If you can truly master that terrifying power, then I'll lend a hand."

Hoshino still had the same expression as before, but she also directly agreed to Danrito's request.

As for the so-called power of reversal, Hoshino is the one who has experienced this power. Only she understands what kind of power the uncontrollable terrifying power can exert if it can be controlled by reason.

Although possessing too much power is not a good thing for the students of Kivotos, after all, although the city is in the midst of a war that could break out at any time every day, it is probably still within the scope of minor fights among the students.

Rather, such fighting symbolized the everyday peace of Kivotos. Because bullets wouldn't cause serious injuries to students, fighting with guns was merely a minor, everyday occurrence in Kivotos. Even this level of venting was enough to be considered a symbol of peace.

"By reversal, do you mean Hoshino-senpai's attitude at that time?"

Serika recalled that time, when she was fighting Hoshino in his reversed state in the laboratory in the middle of the desert. It was at that time that Serika heard people around her talking about the key word "reversal," and now she suddenly remembered: "Ah! So that's the reversal you've been talking about!"

Shaking her cat ears, Serika said, "Although Senior Hoshino in that state does seem a bit detached, once we fight, you'll understand the power of that kind."

"What I mean by completely mastering that... is that in that case, Hoshino-senpai won't come to attack us, right?"

"That's the simple understanding," Danrito nodded in agreement. "And once the Abydos Chronicle is completed, anyone who is a student of Abydos will even be able to master the power of reversal."

"But on the other hand, if you want to complete this cassette, you must follow my rules and carry out the rest of the work."

Danrito pulled a blank cartridge from his pocket. It was a half-finished game cartridge. It contained the Chronicle game framework Danrito had pre-written.

And now, Danrito's purpose in coming to Abydos is to complete the remaining data in the cartridge.

“So, this is what I’m going to do in Abydos.

Playing with the game cartridge in his hand, Danrito announced his orders to all the students of the Abydos Committee in front of him.

"In the name of Dream Company, we will use the Abydos Resort as the venue for this Chronicle event, an unprecedented Battle Royale event."

Danrito placed the cassette tape on the table, looked around at the students, and said in a lower, more serious voice, "This battle royale, where only one person can survive, must be won by a student from Abydos. Only then can the cassette tape of 'The Chronicle of Abydos' be completed."

grunt.

Serika swallowed, noticing the atmosphere had grown serious. Danrito was being serious about his request, not just jokingly like he had been saying before.

The two people who were able to perceive the true meaning of Danrito's painting at the first moment were Nomiya and Hoshino.

From the change in Danrito's tone, one could tell he was serious. This was Danrito giving Abydos' students a demand that in order for this cartridge to be successfully completed, Abydos must win this so-called battle royale game.

"Given the current popularity of Dream Company in Kivotos and the popularity of its game cartridges, this Chronicle event should attract quite a few students from other school districts."

Bai Zi analyzed while holding his finger in his mouth.

"That's only natural. Dream Games has gradually become a well-known brand in Kivotos. With so many previous game cartridge releases, Dream's reputation will definitely attract a considerable number of students to participate in this event."

Danrito crossed his arms, confident in his game company's reputation. "We're not a notorious company like Caesars. Dream Games has always brought smiles to students' faces."

"That's absolutely true." Nomiya replied with a smile.

"And the rewards for the Chronicle event are absolutely magnificent, not much different."

The money Danrito has invested in the game is naturally unequivocal: "The ultimate winner will not only receive the collector's edition of the Chronicle game cartridge, but also a 5-day, 4-night trip on a luxury cruise ship!"

The so-called Chronicles game cartridge collector's edition is a real game cartridge that includes the Knight Cartridge Transfer function.

The outer shell of the game cartridge is gold-plated and has an official embossed winner's name.

Even those who don't understand the value of this game cartridge can simply treat it as a trophy.

246. Only in the entertainment field has human imagination and creativity made such a leap forward.

"The final prize is the real Chronicle game cartridge..."

Nomiya's fighting spirit ignited for some reason. "Does that cartridge also contain the power to transform into a Kamen Rider like Momo-san and the others?"

"As a knight, the Chronicle cartridge created by the cartridge manufacturer has such power."

Danrito nodded and said, "However, if it's not won by someone from Abydos, the cartridge will just be a single cartridge. I won't be sending the driver that can unleash the cartridge's power along with it."

"But as long as the person who ultimately wins is a student of Abydos, it doesn't matter who it is."

Danrito looked around and continued, "I'll make her a driver as a special reward for your help."

After all, the final completed chronicle tape was "The Chronicle of Abydos", which was a prelude to Danrito's final work, "The Chronicle of Kivotos".

In other words, this cassette was originally designed to be used only by students in Abydos.

After all, the power contained in it is the power extracted from the history of Abydos. If this power is to be maximized reasonably, the cassette must be used by the students of Abydos.

Even if others ultimately won the cassette tape through personal force, they would only be able to view it as a trophy in the form of a cassette tape. However, if a student from Abydos won it, then its significance would be completely different.

"Oh my... now that things have come to this, uncle, I have no choice but to show my true strength."

After carefully analyzing all the pros and cons, Hoshino finally spoke.

Hoshino Kotori, who had always exuded a lazy aura, suddenly gave people the feeling that her aura had changed at this moment.

Especially when Serika was standing aside, this feeling was even more obvious, as if a storm was gradually forming around him. But fortunately, Hoshino also knew that now was not the time to get completely serious. He just stretched a little, then lay back down again, and put away the aura that had just irritated the juniors.

It's like a lion that has been sleeping for many years and is now showing its fangs to others.

"Senior Hoshino is fine with dealing with students from other school districts, but could you please stay with your family for a little longer?"

Nomiya's voice came from the side. It is said that characters with squinty eyes are actually dangerous characters. This snack management committee member who is usually good-tempered, for some reason, also revealed an aura as if he was hunting prey today, which made Serika feel her scalp tingling.

"Ah... Since they say this game requires such seriousness, if I hold back any longer, my strength might fluctuate due to distraction~"

The meaning of this sentence sounds very clear. No matter who is standing in the way, they will be knocked down equally.

"If that's the case, then I can't lose my momentum."

Bai Zi stood up, her eyes as sharp as a hunting wolf: "The final winner will definitely be me."

"Hmm... Xiaobaizi seems really confident~"

"Seeing my younger generation so impressive, I feel very happy too."

In the living room, which had become tense due to Danrito's words, only Yumi, Serika, and Ayane appeared to be completely oblivious to the situation.

"Everyone's fighting spirit seems to have been boosted. Is it because of that 5-day, 4-night cruise?"

Qin Xiang blinked. "Come to think of it... I did hear about an academy built on a cruise ship. It's said that most of the luxury cruise ships are owned by that academy. Is Huan Meng powerful enough to be connected to a school like that?"

The one who answered and continued to talk to Serika was Danrito. He cast his gaze towards the little black cat and nodded. "You're right. The name of that school is Odyssey Marine Academy. One of their pillar industries is the extensive cruise business and the various specialized businesses that operate on cruise ships. In a sense, they are indeed a group of business-savvy students."

"I wasn't the one who first proposed the cooperation with Odyssey Ocean Academy. Instead, their administrators approached us and signed a cooperation agreement with Huanmeng, hoping to sell Huanmeng's game cartridges in overseas markets."

At this point, Dan Lidou recalled the Odyssey students who came to see him at that time. Not only were they dressed in a more mature style, but their speech and behavior also showed that they had experienced many ups and downs. Obviously, the Odyssey students had experienced a lot in the way of business.

"However, the idea of ​​complete monopoly was impossible for me to accept. In the end, I just let them take on some short-term overseas business."

Danrito shook his head. Indeed, as for the market outside the city of Kivotos, he didn't have the means to manage it so far away.

Because the company was still locked in a fierce internal business confrontation with the Caesars Group, Huanmeng Company needed a source of funds that would determine who would prevail in the current business war.

The cooperation negotiation with Odyssey Marine College was like a gift from a dream. Currently, only a few colleges could generate funds from outside of Kivotos. Odyssey Marine College, which controlled the trade in the waters surrounding Kivotos, happened to be one of them.

"Well, Odyssey also told me that as long as I'm willing to go visit them, Odyssey will cover all expenses, no matter the cost."

At this point, Danrito raised an eyebrow. "But there's no such thing as a free lunch. This trick might work against other brats, but for me, as soon as they wag their tails, I know how much they're up to."

"So the cooperation from Odyssey is actually a trap?" Upon hearing this, Serika couldn't help but feel nervous, but in return, she only got Danrito's laughter.

"It doesn't matter. No matter what tricks the opponent has, I will take them all on. That's my style! No matter what tricks they come up with, they won't make any waves in front of me!"

He reached out and rubbed Qinxiang's little head, which felt very nice. While she was struggling and babbling, Danrito withdrew his hand and briefly explained to the people in front of him what the so-called chronicle activity was.

"Chronicles, also known as Battle Royale games, are games where players are randomly transported to a new world within the game realm, where they rely on their own abilities to fight each other and ultimately emerge victorious."

“During the game, the entire map will be shrouded in a shrinking danger zone. As time goes by, the safe area in the game field will become smaller and smaller, until all survivors are finally driven to a random battlefield.”

"In the game, in addition to being able to use the weapons that students are already proficient in, there are also various monsters called Collapse monsters roaming the game field. By defeating these additional neutral monsters, you can obtain powerful weapons and special supplies dropped by them, which can change the situation of the battle."

At this point, Danrito sighed regretfully, "Back in the day, there wouldn't have been such a gentle way of launching a Battle Royale in the gaming world. In real life, they'd just go for it."

"Wait a minute!! Did I just hear some terrifying dark secret?!"

Qin Xiang's face was full of cat-like fear: "No one will die, right? No one will die, right?!"
