That was why Dr. Mei was very curious about what she would choose to study next.
"I haven't decided yet."
"Maybe I'll wait until I've seen more before choosing."
Daedalus truly didn't have a clear plan just yet.
She was interested in studying many aspects of this world,
so she wanted to take time to understand it first.
"Fair enough."
"If you want to know anything, just ask Prometheus."
"You should already have the proper access."
"Prometheus, please arrange a residence for them."
"Also, give Daedalus a year's salary in advance so she has spending money."
Dr. Mei didn't mind and immediately began assigning tasks to Prometheus.
Let them settle in first.
Seeing this, Daedalus thanked her and left with Nimfu and Astraea.
Prometheus had already sent them the location of their new home along with a sum of money.
Not just for DaedalusAstraea and Nimfu each received a stipend as well.
The three of them began their new life in this world.
Their arrival didn't cause much of a stir.
Nowadays, even if an entire new world appeared, few would pay much attention.
Everyone's focus was currently on the ongoing gift competitions.
The gift competition had become a national hot topic.
Even Shiroyasha was now suggesting in the group chat that they host a large-scale global gift competition.
Although her idea mostly involved Takumi doing all the prize-giving.
Shiroyasha:
[Takumi, are you up for it?]
[Let's host a worldwide gift competition.]
[The winner gets a gift.]
[You can just duplicate giftsyou've got that power.]
[No need for anything too rare.]
[As long as you can judge them properly.]
[Anyway, what seems average to us might be treasure to others.]
Takumi sat at home, reading Shiroyasha's messages, lost in thought.
Damn.
You want to have fun, huh?
And put all the work on me?
He didn't even know how to complain about her antics.
Takumi:
[Why don't you hand out the prizes then?]
Chika Fujiwara:
[Why bother when you can freeload?]
Kaguya Shinomiya:
[Wow, you just want to freeload and sneak in your own people, don't you?]
Sagiri:
[I can hear your scheming through the screen!]
Saten Ruiko:
[gkdgkd, let's hold the gift competition now and hand out plug-ins as prizes!!]
Alice:
[Can we have a cooking competition? I want gifts related to cookingI'll definitely join!]
Herta:
[Can we have a Herrscher Core as a prize? I want one!!]
Zhongli:
[If such a competition were truly held, it would be quite interesting.]
[I've also been considering whether to host a large-scale gift competition in Liyue.]
Following Shiroyasha's suggestion, everyone chimed in.
Holding a global gift competition seemed inevitable.
It wouldn't be fun without it.
Everyone was very enthusiastic.
Even Zhongli was now seriously contemplating organizing a large-scale gift competition.
Takumi looked at the group messagesclearly, everyone was interested.
After thinking it over, he asked Prometheus:
"Prometheus, are there any official gift competitions planned?"
Takumi wasn't sure if Ningguang or the others had made arrangements.
If they had, then he wouldn't need to handle it.
He could just enjoy the show.
If not, maybe he'd consider hosting it himself.
"Miss Ningguang is discussing it."
"No decision has been made yet."
Prometheus quickly responded.
Hearing this, Takumi nodded.
"Alright, just have them wait for my announcement."
"I'll consider it."
If that was the case, then they might as well proceed.
There wasn't much going on at the moment anyway.
Letting the officials organize a gift competition sounded pretty good.
But Takumi still needed to decide what kind of event it should be.
Takumi:
[It can be held.]
[Let's discuss what kind of competition to run.]
As Takumi's message went out, everyone's eyes lit up.
Takumi agreed?
It was really happening.
The group exploded with excitement.
Gabriel:
[Let's play Fight the Landlord!]
Kaguya:
[E-sports. Definitely E-sports.]
Nyaruko:
[Let all cosplayers battle it out!]
Alice:
[Cooking contest!!]
Herta:
[Simulated Universe test tournament!]
Suggestions poured in.
No one had decided on prizes yet.
But anything Takumi prepared would surely be top-tier.
All they had to do was finalize the event lineup.
A gift competition of this scale couldn't just have one or two categories.
Ch. 642 Please Cease Your Driving Behavior
Takumi was speechless as he looked at what everyone in the group had proposed.
These were all things they excelled at, right?
Thinking about it, Takumi suddenly felt numb.
Should I just give you the prizes directly?
Shiroyasha:
[It's not impossible!]
[However, to prevent cheating, Takumi would need to use the power of restraint to create a fair environment, right?]
Looking at everyone's suggestions, Shiroyasha expressed her support.
As long as cheating was prevented, it was hard to predict the outcome.
Seeing this proposal, Takumi's eyes lit up.
Takumi:
[This can be done.]
[Alright, let's go with that then.]
No problem. Decision made.
No matter who participated in the gift competition, everyone would be forcibly restricted to the same level.
This was to prevent cheating.
Fujiwara Chika:
[LOL!!]
[Gabriel, if you can't cheat, who can you beat as a newbie?]
Seeing Takumi's message, Chika nearly died laughing.
Gabriel:
[Hey!!]
[That would be boring.]
[Why not have a competition where anything goes?]
Gabriel was a bit annoyed.
It wouldn't be fun this way.
Sagiri:
[If you do that, you'll be even worse off.]
[Many people are way stronger than you.]
[With no limits, you'd be eliminated instantly.]
If it were truly a free-for-all, she'd lose even faster.
Horaishan Kaguya:
[Just admit you're a noob!]
Saten Ruiko:
[Exactly. Just admit it already!]
Reading these messages, Gabriel, who was in heaven, suddenly became depressed.
These people weren't friendly at all. How hateful!
She sulked in silence.
Takumi ignored her and continued discussing the large-scale gift competition with Shiroyasha.
Multiple events could be held.
As long as Takumi provided the prizes, everything else would fall into place.
Takumi:
[That said, there are a lot of potential events.]
[Any kind of game can be held.]
[Even hide-and-seek is fine.]
[We could even throw in a cooking competition.]
During the discussion, Takumi listed hundreds of events.
He asked Prometheus to record everything.
Once the discussion concluded, Takumi made a decision.
"Send these events to Ningguang and the others."
"Set up a dedicated venue for the competition."
"Everyone can participate."
"Hold some smaller events to select qualified participants."
"Let's run proper knockout rounds and the like."
"For most events, we'll use money as the prize."
"The finals will feature true gifts."
"I'll prepare prizes for the competition."
"When the time comes, I'll use rare Noble Phantasms and such."
"Also make it clear which competitions require fairness."
"At those times, use the power of restraint to ensure a level playing field."
"You and Alaya will oversee the entire process."
Takumi tasked Prometheus with handling the arrangements.
After hearing his instructions, Prometheus began recording.
Once Takumi finished, she sent the details to Ningguang.
At the time, Ningguang had just finished work.
Upon receiving Prometheus's message, she immediately began reviewing the information.
After reading through Takumi's proposed events, Ningguang was amazed.
"Such generosity!"
"But this is good."
"No problem on my end."
"You can begin preparations now."
Ningguang responded after skimming through the list.
She was ready to start preparations.
"Alright, Lady Ningguang!"
"Then follow the plan."
"Start publicity immediately."
"We'll begin in ten days."
"That'll give everyone enough time to prepare."
Organizing a gift competition would require lots of preparation.
Ten days should be sufficient for everyone involved.
Ningguang nodded.
She had no objections.
She immediately began gathering people and holding meetings.
Meanwhile, Prometheus began making public announcements.
She posted online that a large-scale gift competition was being organized.
As for the prizes, she only gave a vague overview:
Noble Phantasms, godheads, powerful artifacts, and more.
Details were left out for now.
The moment these announcements went public, the world erupted.
There had been other gift competitions in this world before,
but the prizes had never been very appealing.
Now, a massive gift competition was coming.
This was truly exciting.
Everyone was thrilled about the prizes.
People started browsing the prize descriptions eagerly.
Some powerful warriors' eyes lit up when they saw battle events listed.
Battle?
And with restricted stats?
The strength of all participants would be adjusted to the same level.
No matter how powerful you were,
Takumi would compress your strength to match your opponent's.
Then, the two would fight.
The winner would be decided by skill alone.
Many battle maniacs were immediately intrigued.
They signed up without hesitation.
Registration had already begun.
Once registered, participants simply had to wait for the event notices.
Everyone in the group also saw Takumi's announcement.
Seeing how quickly it began, they were speechless.
Sagiri:
[That was so fast! You announced it right after I spoke!]
Chika Fujiwara:
[You're the fastest man alive!!]
Takumi:
[???]
[I'll come to your room tonight!]
Chika Fujiwara:
[(*Д)o]
[Nooo!!]
[Sorry, I was wrong!]
[I don't want to be poked!!]
[Chika Fujiwara withdrew a message.]
Akeno:
[Ara ara~ why not?]
[I think it sounds nice!]
Tokisaki Kurumi (Deceived):
[Seriously!]
Sagiri:
[Woo woo woo All aboard the train!]
Asuka:
[Can you tell us the exact prizes?]
[I'm really curious.]
Amid the chaos, Asuka interrupted the nonsense
and directly asked about the prizes in the competition.
She was now interested.
Takumi:
[Still deciding.]
[Planning to offer some truly rare gifts.]
[For example, maybe the champion of the battle tournament gets the God of War title?]
Shiroyasha:
[Good one! Ashutel's going to have a brother!]
[This can work!]
For some events, offering godheads as prizes was incredibly appealing.
For Takumi, creating godheads was trivial.
He could mass-produce them in minutes.
But to others, they were invaluable.
Ch. 643 Im Quite Confident in My Magic
Takumi had already thought about the reward of the gift.
Based on the items of the gift competition, the final reward is then determined.
For those who fight, give them the God of War.
Those who are good at cooking should be given the God of Cooking.
There are also various gift competitions where you can use divinity or noble phantasms as rewards.
These are not big problems.
Even if you don't have it, Takumi can give you a godhead.
Takumi even came up with some team-type gifts.
Make sure every gift feels valuable.
After chatting with everyone in the group for a while, Takumi began to prepare the prizes.
After preparing one, Takumi asked Prometheus to announce it.
The purpose is to attract more people to participate.
There are all kinds of projects prepared by Takumi.
Fighting competitions, sword fighting competitions, magic competitions.
All combat categories can be subdivided into several categories.
Everyone is paying attention to this large-scale gift competition.
When Prometheus began to announce some prizes, everyone became excited.
Good guy, this reward is really rich enough.
Some people's eyes couldn't help but light up when they looked at the rewards above.
The decision was made without saying a word.
Participate!
Especially the cooking competition. After seeing the content announced above, those in the food world are also full of interest.
If they can win the championship, they will be a certified chef.
This is really achievable.
Even people who rarely cook became interested when they saw this competition.
They signed up without saying a word.
For a time, the number of registrations increased steadily, and everyone began to prepare.
If you want to participate in the competition, you will have to come to Takumi's world.
This will also be a troublesome thing.
There is only one passage to Takumi's world.
If you don't prepare early, it may be too late.
Prometheus also told Takumi about this matter.
Because there are so many people participating.
Hearing this question, Takumi was speechless.
"Then just hold a knockout tournament in their world."
"There is no need for so many people to come here."
"Just let the Ex-Machina act as the referee."
"If the quantity is not enough, produce some."
Isn't this easy to solve?
You still need to tell him.
Why can't Prometheus' computing power react sometimes?
Takumi didn't even know how to complain.
After hearing this, Prometheus didn't say anything, but went to issue the notice immediately.
Tell those people that they can directly compete in their world.
The competition will have many arenas.
There is no need to run over directly.
Seeing this information, those who were just about to set off also breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, there is no big problem.
Then there is no need to be so hasty.
With this in mind, everyone can do whatever they need to do after signing up.
No need for the time being to worry about these problems.
It will definitely be in time.
The number of people signing up is still increasing.
Fortunately, Prometheus's information is sent quickly. Otherwise, the major entrances would have been overcrowded by now, right?
Takumi put so many godheads on display.
At the same time, these things were also announced by Prometheus.
As all the godheads were announced, everyone was immediately excited.
Damn, the rewards are so rich!!
