Wow, what an idea. Send Mei to Snake? What did he find? A wild, weak Herrscher! If they took her out, they'd get a fresh core.
Raiden Mei: [Aaaargh!!] [Seriously, can you all act normal for once!!]
Mei was about to lose it. Why did the topic always go off the rails? That was the power of silly groupmates. No wonder the group had that name.
Takumi: [Whatever, I'll step in!] [Relax!!] [When the time comes, I'll check out how the Imaginary Tree reacts in your world. And maybe score some loot! Who knows, maybe I'll even find a path to Teyvat through the Imaginary Tree. Then I can visit the Old Man!]
Takumi was serious about saving points, tooMei was the one giving him those points! Not only would he earn points, but he might get to visit the Old Man, and if he could, even drop by Honkai: Star Rail. Bring Bronya along to see all the turbo ducks!
Now Takumi had a wonderful ideabring all the ducks together: Milk Duck, Silver Wolf, Board Duck, Logic Duck, Big Duck, and Star Rail's Herta! Just thinking about it made him happy.
Takumi: [When the time comes, I'll definitely come over. I'll bring Bronya along for a honeymoon!]
Takumi declared with a perfectly straight face in the group.
Bronya: [_]
What kind of date was that supposed to be?
Raiden Mei: [Alright looking forward to your visit. I've earned plenty of points by now.]
Lately, Mei had been diligent about checking in. She'd saved up enough points to invite Takumi over for a mission.
Chapter 99: Not Talking Anymore? Then You Must Be Drowning
With enough points, she could simply invite Takumi over when the time came.
She already knew Bronya wanted to come.
After all, Bronya had messaged her privately.
She just wanted to see little Bronya.
She didn't refuse.
In fact, she was curious to see the grown-up Bronya herself.
Fujiwara Chika: [Got enough points?] [Wanna roll once?] [I've got enough too! I'm debating whether to try a draw!!]
She had used her previous points to enhance her psychic abilities.
Her growth had been too slow, so she couldn't resist using them.
Now, she figured her abilities were around Level 3.
Not bad. Her first enhancement turned out quite well.
Himeko: [You want to draw?] [I kinda want to try it too.]
Himeko had also become interested.
She too had enough points.
And had already used some to enhance her strength.
Now she was clearly stronger than before.
Which meant she didn't have many points left.
So she was tempted to give the lottery a shot.
Seeing Fujiwara Chika talk about drawing made her really want to join in.
Fujiwara Chika: [Himeko-senpai, you're going to draw too?] [How about we try together?]
Her eyes sparkled as she saw Himeko's message.
A joint drawyes, that sounded perfect.
She had wanted to try for a while.
But she'd been hesitant.
So she wanted to pull someone along.
Takumi: [I drew last time and got a whole box of "Oriental Leaves"!] [This lottery is seriously messed up!!]
Hearing them talk about drawing, Takumi couldn't help but complain.
Last time, he got an entire box of Oriental Leaves tea.
What a scam.
Fujiwara Chika: [Such a loser!]
She laughed.
Drawing tea? Seriously?
Such bad luck.
Takumi: [My first sign-in gave me the Cocoon of the End, and I ended up the strongest in the group. How about you? (???(???(???) ]
He was curious, very curious.
What did this pink-haired girl who called him unlucky get from her draw?
Fujiwara Chika: [(;)...Tch~~!]
She got a pair of Balenciaga shoes.
She didn't even wear them!
Sign-ins and lotteries were completely different matters.
Totally unrelated.
Himeko: [Let me test the waters first~!]
Seeing the two bicker, Himeko decided to just go ahead.
Without hesitation, she entered the shop menu.
Found the lottery interface and hit the draw button.
Her first draw result appeared quickly.
[Congratulations, you've received: Stigmata — Polar Flame.]
She was stunned when she saw what she got.
A stigmata?
From Honkai Impact?
While she was still puzzled, the item turned into light and merged into her body.
She immediately felt a tickling sensation on her back.
A special rose-like tattoo appeared.
At the same time, she could feel her power increasing.
She quickly checked her group item status.
[Stigmata — Polar Flame] Effect: Increases all damage by 20%, boosts fire-element attacks by 50%.
Seeing the effect, her eyes lit up.
This would greatly boost her power.
Absolutely amazing.
Without delay, she shared it in the group chat.
Himeko: [Image] [Pretty luckygot a stigmata.]
She was genuinely happy.
This stigmata really suited her.
Takumi was also surprised by what Himeko shared.
A stigmata, and a good one at that.
It certainly fit Himeko.
Takumi: [You're really lucky. You actually got something useful!] [Congrats!!]
He sincerely congratulated her.
She pulled something that could genuinely enhance her power.
Fujiwara Chika: [Wow!!] [Congrats, congrats. My turn now!!]
Seeing Himeko's good result, Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up.
Without a second thought, she hit the draw button.
[Congratulations, you received: Self-repairing Silk Stockings x1.]
Her face instantly darkened.
Silently, she closed the menu.
She had no intention of sharing that.
Damn it!!
Why was her luck always so bad??
"My points... waaaa!!"
All those points she'd saved up.
Now she was about to cry.
Really, truly upset.
She didn't dare post what she got.
If Takumi saw it, that perv would definitely make her wear it for him.
And it was auto-repairing silk stockings, no less???
Just thinking about it made her blush.
No. Absolutely not!!
At that moment, Takumi had just returned to Earth from the moon.
He noticed that Fujiwara Chika had suddenly gone silent.
He was instantly intrigued.
Takumi: [@Fujiwara Chika, you there?] [Why so quiet, lucky girl?] [Let me see what you got?]
Hey now, why the sudden silence?
Say something!
Sagiri: [Looks like she drowned!!!] [I'd better not try my luck.]
Himeko: [Chika, what did you get?]
Not only Takumi, but Himeko, Sagiri, and others lurking in the group were all curious.
Her silence was suspicious.
If she got something good, she'd definitely be boasting by now.
Reading Takumi's message made Chika even more frustrated.
Fujiwara Chika: [I drowned!!] [Waaa, my points!!] [Don't ask what I got. I'm too upset!!]
Tears flowed.
Her precious points were gone just like that.
Houraisan Kaguya: [Looks like she got something really embarrassing.] [Otherwise, she wouldn't be too ashamed to even name it.]
Kaguya understood.
It had to be something awkward.
That's why she wouldn't even say the name.
Takumi: [Let me guess... was it another pair of Balenciagas??]
Fujiwara Chika: [Shut up!!] [I'm logging out. Not talking to you anymore!!] [o(ЇЇ)o]
And with that, she exited the group chat.
She didn't want to discuss it any further.
Takumi chuckled.
He was pretty sure he'd guessed right.
"What a pity."
"She won't even show me the black stockings!"
He looked disappointed.
Just then, Lilia and Ophis walked in.
Lilia overheard Takumi's comment.
She paused.
Then her gaze shifted.
So Takumi prefers black now?
Not white anymore?
Hmm... maybe it's time to try a new style.
"Huh?" "You're back?"
Takumi turned and saw the two entering.
"Yeah... We're back." "We've finished our tour." "Such different styles."
Lilia and Ophis sat beside Takumi.
And began telling him what they discovered this time.
Chapter 100: Nonsense! This Was a Dinner Treat from My Wife Hu Tao
Takumi's dinner came directly from the old man, who packed up some of his own and sent it over.
He then sat down to enjoy dinner with Lilia and Ophis, all while watching the meteor shower outside.
As Takumi listened to Lilia talk, she explained what had been happening at home recently.
With her words flowing and the meteor shower overhead, Takumi leisurely enjoyed his foodit was all very comforting.
Later that night, Miori Shiba, You, and the Holy Maiden arrived at Takumi's place.
"Lord Takumi!"
The Holy Maiden and Tendo Kisara greeted Takumi politely as soon as they saw him.
"You guys came too? Eaten yet? Want some food? The old man should still have some left. If not, I'll ask him to order a few more dishes."
Seeing everyone show up, Takumi invited them warmly with a smile.
Miori Shiba rolled her eyes at that.
"Zhongli didn't even pay with Mora. Stop dragging others into your scams!"
She couldn't help but complain. After all, Zhongli always had the bill sent to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Naturally, when Takumi had Zhongli buy the food, he hadn't paid either. Zhongli didn't mind; he simply sent the bill to the parlor like usual.
It was just one meal. No big deal. But from Miori Shiba's perspective, Takumi was totally scamming people.
"How is that a scam? It was Hu Tao who treated me to the meal!"
If Hu Tao paid for it, then of course it counts as her treating him.
Miori Shiba rolled her eyes again. Hu Tao didn't even know him.
Still, she took a seat, and the others followed.
Everyone began chatting casually.
The Holy Maiden was about to brief Takumi on the city's situationhe was, after all, the true master of this world.
But as she began, Takumi quickly stopped her.
"Stop! You guys handle that yourselves. I'm not getting involved. Do whatever you think is best."
"Just make sure to digest everything I brought back and use it to develop civilization."
Takumi had no interest in micromanaging. The framework was already in place. Filling in the details was their job now.
Hearing that, the Holy Maiden looked helpless.
Miori Shiba started complaining.
"Easy for you to say. We're short on researchers, and much of this tech is totally unfamiliar. Digesting it isn't easy."
"Why don't you go to another world and bring back some scientists?"
Even though he brought Velier back, most of them were focused on magic. They weren't ideal for scientific R&D.
More scientists would make it easier to understand and implement Takumi's tech.
Right now, they were nurturing smart children for future development, but that would take timeunless Takumi force-fed them knowledge.
But even then, manufacturing, testing, and production were all complicated.
Civilization wasn't just about science. Many other aspects needed development too.
"Of course I know that," Takumi replied. "As for scientists... I'll go find Mei."
At that, Takumi grinned.
Seeing his face, Miori Shiba raised a brow.
"You plan to poach people from Mei's world?"
She instantly understood what he was thinking.
"Exactly! I'm not coming back empty-handed. Gotta earn Mei's points and get some people."
"Emm..." Miori Shiba was speechless.
"Next time, I'm going with you," she said. Things in their world had settled down enough for her to delegate.
At this moment, You also spokenot to follow Takumi, but to offer a suggestion.
"Why not bring back the Elysian Realm?"
A flash of emotion passed her eyes.
In truth, she meant the previous era's Elysian Realm. If they needed top-tier scientists, that place had them.
Mobius, Vil-Vboth were extraordinary. If they could get Mobius, even better.
Hearing that, Takumi considered it.
"If there's a chance, sure. Actually, Honkai: Star Rail would be even better."
There were plenty of top scientists across various worlds. If he went to Star Rail, he could just pack up the Herta Space Station.
Of course, that was just a fantasy. Still, heading to the Trailblazer's world might yield a good batch of scientists.
"As long as you have a plan. A lot of people have immigrated here, but there's still much to do. Civilization isn't simple."
Miori Shiba shook her head.
The stronger their civilization, the stronger Takumi became. Helping civilization meant helping themselves.
Since coming to Takumi's world, her psychic powers had reached level 3, and she hadn't even used her enhancement slots yetsaving them for when she became even stronger, as Takumi advised.
"Speaking of which, that Boros guy in the group chat has some good tech. Why not ask him?"
Miori Shiba remembered something and looked at Takumi.
According to One Punch Man, that world had aliens. Their tech should be quite advanced.
"Nah, forget it. I've already got star-destroying warships. I don't need more."
"Wait, did he go to Earth?"
Miori Shiba's mention of Boros sparked Takumi's curiosity.
He began considering the possibilities in the One Punch Man world. There were definitely scientists there. Could he bring some back?
What Takumi truly desired, though, was a certain pink-haired alien princessor someone like Bulma, a top-tier scientist.
If he could really get someone like that, it would be amazing.
There were so many things in this world waiting for Takumi to develop.
During his recent trip to the moon, he pondered a key question: with such a vast universe, could there be other races out there?
Could the Earth's spiritual awakening have been triggered by an alien influence? A prelude to an invasion?
Whatever the truth, there were still many mysteries in this world for Takumi to uncover.
And one way or another, he intended to find out.

Chapter 101: Even Espers Can Use Magic
The planet Takumi resided on was but a mere speck in the vastness of the universe.
The universe itself was unimaginably large.
Whether there were other civilizations out there remained uncertain.
At present, Takumi's influence extended only as far as the solar system.
Anything beyond that would have to be explored slowly, step by step.
Still, that wasn't a major concern.
Hearing Takumi's thoughts, Miori Shiba nodded thoughtfully. After reflecting on it, she agreedthere wasn't much from that world that could surprise Takumi in terms of technology.
In the One Punch Man world, most people relied more on individual strength than scientific advancement. Spaceships and such were just tools for travel, not symbols of technological evolution. The technological development over there had never been explosive.
"In any case, we need to keep bringing in more researchers. The ones we have now aren't enough to fully digest all the data and systems you've brought," Miori said. "And that includes magic."
