In the Multiverse, Only by Marrying Wives Can I Become Stronger

Hiratsuka Shizuka flicked Tsukikawa Shu on the forehead.

"See you tomorrow, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Tsukikawa Shu rubbed his forehead, not a speck of dust disturbed, and left with a spring in his step, looking exceptionally dashing.

Only Hiratsuka Shizuka remained standing there, reflecting on their interactions during this time, and the situation where she had been cornered just now.

"So embarrassing..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her lips.

The magnificent auditorium had a high stage at the far end, complete with lighting, speakers, and a piano. Below the stage were rows of leather sofas, in front of which were peeled fruits and expensive alcoholic beverages.

However, the auditorium wasn't being used for a dance party today.

After spending money lavishly everywhere, Nita Goichi had indeed found some players suitable to be bodyguards, and had also roped in a few students who had entered the Inner World, forming a team.

The last time he was in the Inner World, Nita Goichi had been so hungry he almost went insane. All notions of noble etiquette and image were thrown aside, leaving him with a deep psychological scar.

He, who had always lived in abundance, experienced the hunger of near-death for the first time.

He never wanted to go through that again, never!

"This damn Inner World is simply a place where survival depends on luck!"

"We elites, who possess the most knowledge and are the most hardworking, are completely useless here, while those who don't work hard get to pick up the scraps. Can you tolerate this?!"

"A descendant of a lazy person who isn't hardworking enough to even reach middle-class, are you really going to stand by and watch him squander resources like this?! How can someone like him be the Master of the Inner World? It should be us, who are well-educated, who should be the Master!"

He stood on the high stage, speaking eloquently.

Around him were over a dozen listeners, half of whom were students who had entered the Inner World last time, and the other half were bodyguards recruited by Nita Goichi or other students. They were considered high-level players in the Inner World at this stage, all above level ten.

Although Nita Goichi had lost his composure due to hunger in the Inner World last time, his words at this moment struck a chord with most people.

The appearance of the Inner World was extremely unfair to them, the children of nobles and wealthy merchants.

Why should ordinary people be able to turn their lives around through luck? Why should they, who had learned a lot, be useless?

They were so outstanding, having founded company after company at a young age, already earning their first pot of gold; or they had early exposure to politics, helping their parents analyze and manage state affairs.

They were undeterred, full of vigor, and many had failed in multiple ventures, but through their own efforts, they had finally turned a loss-making company into a profitable one, earning the praise of countless people.

Every time at banquets, they could raise champagne glasses, enjoy the praise of numerous people, and generously share their entrepreneurial experiences with those around them.

They were so outstanding, so hardworking, praised by many influential figures in politics and business, so why should they be trampled upon by an ordinary person just because of slightly worse starting luck?

This is unfair!!!

The Master of the Inner World should also be people like them, who are hardworking and outstanding.

However, the reality was that these less hardworking individuals hadn't even reached the middle class in the original world, like that recently arrogant Tsukikawa Shu!

Why do some people always complain about being poor online? Why can't some people eat better? Why can't some people afford a house and a car?

Because those people aren't working hard enough!

Yet, this person who wasn't hardworking enough, who hadn't even reached the middle class, managed to step on everyone with sheer luck. Who could tolerate this?!

While they, the future elites, were starving and freezing, this guy was bursting with luck, starting to clear dungeons, and even using a large amount of resources for "Widely Recruiting Virtuous Wives"!

What a wasteful act!

Any descendant of a businessman would have pounded their chest in anguish. How many investments could be made with so many resources, how much profit could be gained? And yet, all of it was used as capital for recruiting wives?

What's the difference between this and recruiting prostitutes? Aren't they just pretty women? There are plenty of them all over the country, why act like this? It's simply ignorant and vulgar!

"Therefore, for the sake of order and the future of the Inner World, I declare that I will establish an Elite Committee!"

Nita Goichi's declaration was resounding!

His speech was passionate, and coming from the perspective of an upper-class individual, Nita Goichi's words indeed gained the approval of most people.

"That's right, we were just a bit unlucky. If we could bring our current resources into the Inner World, would someone like Tsukikawa Shu even have the chance to spout nonsense?"

"Our luck wasn't just a little bit off. The Inner World has already opened twice, and this is our second time entering. If we had entered the first time, perhaps we could have also established a foothold."

"I heard that the city center of the Inner World still has quite a few level one monsters and supplies, enough for us to level up and survive. But all of it was snatched up by those who entered when the Inner World first opened, making us feel inferior."

Everyone was being rational.

In the face of a real enemy, the minor friction Nita Goichi had with them in the Inner World previously was nothing.

Fujiwara Chika sat below, listening silently to the speech on stage.

"This... you can't just dismiss everyone like that, can you?"

Iino Miko sat next to Fujiwara Chika, frowning.

Fujiwara Chika remained silent.

She didn't agree with his words, but she didn't refute them either.

Most students from Shuchiin Academy came from wealthy and noble families and had never experienced the true lives of the lower class. In a situation of unequal information, refuting would only be a waste of breath.

The current phenomenon, according to a Chinese idiom, was "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

"These ignorant fools don't deserve to be at the top. Their thinking is the lowest and most foolish, their vision is the shortest, they are lazy and like to make excuses!"

"Right now, most of the resources in the Inner World are occupied by those lazy opportunists. Our mission is to redistribute these resources. Only those who are knowledgeable and hardworking like us deserve to possess more resources!"

"The order of the Inner World must be rebuilt, and it will be rebuilt by our hands!"

Nita Goichi continued his impassioned speech:

"Therefore, I am now establishing an organization of our own, to absorb all elite talent. I now solemnly extend an invitation to everyone present, welcome to join my Elite Committee."

As Nita Goichi spoke on stage, the crowd below erupted in applause.

There were only a little over ten people, but they had essentially gained everyone's support.

And almost everyone agreed that the Elite Committee would indeed be able to control the world in the future.

Most of them, ever since returning from the Inner World, had been searching for high-level players, hiring them as their personal guards with high salaries.

Gradually, their ambitions began to swell.

Although the Inner World was fraught with danger, it was an entirely undeveloped wasteland. The resources and power it contained far surpassed the original world. How could they, as descendants of politicians and financial magnates, let such an opportunity slip by?

From initially just wanting to survive, their ambitions gradually grew, turning into a desire to occupy the Inner World and become its Master.

"However, with our current strength, is it still not enough to dominate the Inner World?"

At this moment, someone raised a question, "Take Tsukikawa Shu, for example. His level seems to be over thirty, right?"

"Currently, we are indeed not a match for that kind of person in a direct confrontation," Nita Goichi chuckled. "But, we can recruit more talent! As long as we establish an army, I don't believe we can't deal with people like that."

"Besides, don't forget, we are elite descendants. The knowledge we possess, our qualities, and our wisdom are things these lower-class people can never catch up to!"

"Could there really be someone who thinks we can't deal with those lazy and foolish guys?" Nita Goichi smiled as he looked at the crowd below.

The crowd exchanged glances, and then they all laughed.

Although they didn't have the advantage now, given Tsukikawa Shu's ordinary status and the foolishness and vulgarity of his "Widely Recruiting Virtuous Wives" post, he was not a threat at all. He would eventually be defeated by diligent and intelligent elites like them.

"Now, I declare, the Elite Committee is established!" Nita Goichi announced.

Applause immediately erupted from below.

"..."

Fujiwara Chika had investigated Tsukikawa Shu, but she couldn't understand him at all.

She didn't understand his character, nor did she understand his trump cards or true strength. Yet, they were already thinking of conquering him with sheer numbers and a later start...

Perhaps it was because dealing with the lower classes was usually very easy for them. After all, ordinary people were like ants they could crush at will, leading them to see Tsukikawa Shu as just a slightly larger ant.

A group of high school students from high society, blending anti-establishment thinking with chuunibyou arrogance, fantasized about ruling the world...

As she was thinking this, Iino Miko beside her picked up a pen and handed her a form.

"What is this?" Fujiwara Chika was stunned.

"Membership contract," Iino Miko said, already signing her name on it.

"Huh? Miko, you're planning to join?" Fujiwara Chika was a little surprised.

"Yeah," Miko blinked. "I've already found a bodyguard, and look, it's best to stick together right now."

"Isn't this a bit hasty?" Fujiwara Chika hesitated.

Setting aside Nita Goichi's previous speech, a collective composed of elites like this was indeed the most suitable for her to join.

"At least surviving is the most important thing right now, right? And look, these are all classmates we know," Iino Miko said.

"Hmm... I'll think about it." Fujiwara Chika smiled and quickly glanced at the contents of the contract.

However, at this moment, Nita Goichi on stage cast his gaze towards Fujiwara Chika and Iino Miko, who were sitting at the edge.

"However, since we plan to develop into a large collective in the future, some management positions are still necessary," Nita Goichi said with a smile. "I believe Miss Iino Miko and Miss Fujiwara Chika from the Student Council should also become members of our management."

Fujiwara Chika froze, then saw everyone's eyes turn towards her.

"Ahaha... I don't think I can handle a management position. Look at my grades, they're usually pretty bad," Fujiwara Chika chuckled, rubbing her head.

"Miss Fujiwara, are you perhaps unwilling to join this Elite Committee?" However, Nita Goichi seemed to see through Fujiwara Chika's thoughts. He walked down from the stage, a smile on his face, his fat folds creasing into wrinkles.

"Well..."

Fujiwara Chika continued to smile.

However, she keenly felt the gazes around her change.

Confusion, doubt, disappointment, surprise...

No one thought Fujiwara Chika would refuse such a thing.

In everyone's eyes, establishing the Elite Committee was undoubtedly a move with no downsides.

Although they were still young, they had extensive connections, and once established, they would receive the support of the true elites from the political and business worlds who had entered the Inner World. If nothing unexpected happened, their organization would quickly become a leader in the Inner World.

"I'll consider it..."

However, Fujiwara Chika didn't finish before being immediately interrupted.
