In the Multiverse, I Only Get Stronger by Marrying Wives

Tsukikawa Shu currently had two Class Cards, two rare-grade weapons, and three Skill Cards in his possession. As for exquisite-grade weapons and Skill Cards, he had over a dozen.

As for the ordinary equipment, Tsukikawa Shu simply threw them away or used them as upgrade materials for skills and weapons, so they wouldn't clutter his inventory.

After some thought, Tsukikawa Shu updated his post, putting all these unnecessary items up for grabs.

"Whoever wants them, whoever is envious, whoever needs them, come and sign a contract! With so many good things, Tsukikawa Shu isn't afraid of not attracting high-quality female characters."

Tsukikawa Shu was certain that many people were secretly watching this post but hadn't shown themselves yet.

And it was simple to make them appear and submit: just throw out the things he didn't need, increasing the stakes layer by layer.

[Special Dagger (Rare)]

[Blood Jade Longsword (Rare)]

[Great Fireball Technique (Rare Skill): A fire-element skill that can unleash a massive fireball, dealing immense damage and causing a burning effect to enemies.]

[Lion Beast Transformation Technique (Rare Skill): An enhancement skill. After use, one gains immense lion-like strength, greatly increases biting force and physical power, and possesses a certain degree of self-healing ability.]

[Swordsman Class Card * 1]

[Mage Class Card * 1]

[Priest Class Card * 1]

After glancing at these few rare-grade items, Tsukikawa Shu put them, along with a large pile of exquisite-grade materials and skills, and the Class Cards, into the post.

As for the exquisite-grade items, Tsukikawa Shu couldn't be bothered to look at them. Firstly, there were too many. Secondly, he didn't need them, and neither did Goto Hitori nor Hiratsuka Shizuka, so he might as well put them all up.

Moreover, Tsukikawa Shu specifically added two sentences below the post:

"All items above are not for sale."

"Want to get stronger? Want my equipment? If you want it, I can give it all to you. Go and sign the contract! All the equipment is with Tsukikawa Shu!"

Finally, Tsukikawa Shu updated his handsome photo again—a selfie taken in front of a stone gate in a dungeon.

"Hehehe."

Goto Hitori received a new weapon, and it was a guitar she was familiar with. She couldn't put it down, constantly strumming the strings, accompanied by her characteristic silly grin.

Besides its function as a weapon, it was also a very good guitar, perfectly adequate for ordinary playing.

She, who always preferred to be alone, had now casually found a dilapidated step to sit on and began playing the guitar.

Hiratsuka Shizuka also equipped her newly acquired weapon. She clenched her fist and threw a few punches in the air. After feeling it out, she hesitated.

"Are you really giving this to me directly?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka asked, "We already have usable weapons. You can use this equipment to attract more people to sign contracts with you."

"Won't Teacher Hiratsuka be jealous?" Tsukikawa Shu countered.

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka twirled a strand of hair around her finger, thought for a moment, then sighed, placing a hand on her hip.

"I think you're stating the obvious," Hiratsuka Shizuka said. "What woman wouldn't be jealous?"

"It's just... I'm not the first one to possess you, and I don't have the right to demand anything from you."

"You can completely use these items as bargaining chips. In this world, you can gain a much stronger dominant position and negotiation space."

Hiratsuka Shizuka had her own little thoughts. She was a woman, and naturally, she would want her lover to spend more time with her.

But she was a teacher and a rational adult.

The current situation couldn't be governed by her petty desires like a young woman. Tsukikawa Shu had to constantly maintain an overwhelming advantage over others.

Precisely because of this, finding the next contractee as soon as possible, the sooner the better, the more the better, was essential to continuously maintain that advantage.

Tsukikawa Shu smiled after hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's reasons and concerns, then took her hand.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, while this would indeed allow me to gain more advantages, I won't do that."

Tsukikawa Shu said seriously, "I won't waste resources on any outsiders. The best resources will only be used by my own people first."

"As for the outsiders, if the remaining items can attract them, they will. If they can't, I won't proactively manipulate them either."

"You're still so blunt," Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed. "No wonder you never had a girlfriend before. What woman would like someone like you who won't even grovel a little?"

"I don't need to grovel to anyone," Tsukikawa Shu said, squeezing Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand. "And now, I don't crave others groveling to me, nor do I need to grovel to them."

"Yes, yes, yes," Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, Teacher," Tsukikawa Shu suddenly looked into Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes.

"Hm? What do you want to do?" Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked, her eyes meeting Tsukikawa Shu's.

Then, she had a bad feeling...

Chapter 32 (First Update)

"I've already given you such wonderful gifts, shouldn't you show me something in return tonight?" Tsukikawa Shu asked with a meaningful smile.

"……"

Thinking back to how Tsukikawa Shu had tormented her last night, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a lingering fear.

After a moment's thought, she glanced at Goto Hitori, who was still engrossed in her guitar on the other side.

"Bring your girlfriend along," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"Teacher Hiratsuka is also my girlfriend now," Tsukikawa Shu replied.

"Whatever you say, but don't overdo it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka remembered the scene from the first night when these two young people had argued so loudly that she couldn't sleep. She warned him, "At least leave some time for sleep."

"Understood."

Tsukikawa Shu maintained his usual playful grin. Then, he called out to Goto Hitori on the other side:

"Bocchi-chan—"

"Ah… Coming, coming!"

Goto Hitori, lost in her guitar playing, snapped back to reality. She quickly ran back, clutching her instrument.

"What's up?" Goto Hitori blinked, not yet aware of what was about to happen.

"Teacher Hiratsuka wants you to share some of the workload," Tsukikawa Shu said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

"Oh, no problem." Goto Hitori paused for a moment before agreeing.

She did often help teachers with tasks at school, so she didn't pick up on the unusual atmosphere.

"Alright then, the three of us will sleep together tonight."

Tsukikawa Shu said, taking Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand with one hand and wrapping his other arm around Goto Hitori from behind.

The three of them pressed together.

"E-eh?!"

Goto Hitori froze.

Three days had passed, and the cries of despair from the chatroom had mostly disappeared.

The reason for so many people wailing in the chatroom before was purely due to the abundance of newbies and naive individuals.

People living in peacetime had no concept of the harsh reality of this Inner World. There were even many innocent students who hadn't yet entered society, thinking that a few cries in the chatroom or promises of wealth and power would bring someone to rescue them.

Little did they know that everyone now was struggling to survive on their own.

Those who had cried out in the chatroom either died in despair from severe injuries with no hope of rescue, or they became targets for player hunters who treated newbies as experience points due to their excessive activity, leading to their demise.

The ones who had survived were the smart ones, or those who had been beaten into cleverness by reality.

The chatroom had naturally become much quieter. All that remained were people cautiously seeking to team up or posting trade information, refraining from revealing too much.

However, the forum, at this moment, had become lively again.

"Quick, check the forum! That guy recruiting virtuous wives actually updated his post!"

"Damn it! Where did this guy get so many good items?"

"So many items, so many good items, are the dungeon drop rates really that high?!"

"These are the items he's using for that 'Widely Recruiting Virtuous Wives' thing. He must be using even higher-end weapons and equipment himself. Sob, I'm so envious!"

"No way… He's listed two rare-grade weapons already. Could it be that he's already using epic-grade stuff himself?"

Comments flooded the forum post.

"Oh my god, so many fine-grade weapons, and rare-grade weapons too! Did this damn guy rob a weapon shop?!"

"This beast transformation skill card is truly amazing… With this self-healing ability, would I still be cowering in my room, starving? I'd be out there fighting those monsters!"

"Class cards, oh class cards… You don't know how miserable I've been without getting a class card. I have skills but can't even use them."

"Fine-grade weapons! Fine-grade weapons! I want fine-grade weapons! Ahhhhh! This big shot has so many weapons, please give me one!"

Aside from the envious and jealous crowd, some people also started inquiring about the theme of the post.

"By the way… Has any beautiful lady caught this Tsukikawa Shu's eye? I'm looking to latch onto someone powerful…"

"Yeah, if you're chosen, don't hide. Come out openly. I have enough money to make a deal with you."

"Sigh, I tried to private message him too, but he didn't accept…"

The chat channel was buzzing with excitement. Everyone had seen the updated information from Tsukikawa Shu.

And in the city center.

The students from Shiritsu Shuchuin Academy were still in their original location. They were also browsing the system chatroom and had seen the newly updated post.

They were among the luckier ones, at least not having been targeted or found by player hunters.

Although Tsukikawa Shu is a lowly scoundrel, and he's even doing something like "Widely Recruiting Virtuous Wives," which sounds like trouble from the get-go, I have to admit, the guy is genuinely capable.

Especially that selfie he took standing in front of the dungeon stone gate, proving he had indeed opened the dungeon and cleared it with ease.

What remained unchanged was the pervasive sense of loss that had enveloped everyone from the very beginning, slowly turning into despair.

(First update!)

Chapter 33 (Second update)

They had been in this Inner World for three days. They had only gone out to gather food once at the very beginning. It was during that single excursion that a male student was attacked by a highly venomous spider and collapsed, unable to move.

A group of students who had never experienced hardship before fumbled through a rough bandaging of the injured student, but it was no use. The male student became the first casualty.

His body is still lying in the corner over there, and no one dares to go near it.
