As it turns out, while money may not be the strongest ability, it is definitely one of the most versatile.

Just half an hour later.

"Miss Eden, on behalf of the Moth Chasing Fire, I welcome you to the council. You are now one of the council members."

Mei gritted her teeth and welcomed Eden's arrival. Her subservience to money shocked the Pink Fairy behind her, who couldn't understand it at all.

"Mei, what are you doing, Mei!"

Elysia was extremely anxious.

Eden, that wicked woman, is after Bai Ge! How could you let a wolf into your house for a pittance? Mei, don't you like Bai Ge too?

"Shut up, Elysia! You have no idea how desperately short of funds the Moth Chasing Fire is right now! You, you think I wanted to agree? It's just that she offered so much!"

Mei looked utterly dejected.

Do you think I wanted to let this woman, who's obviously a rival, in? I had no choice!

May is now not only a scientist, but also one of the top leaders of the Moth Chasing Fire.

If we compare the Previous Civilization as a kingdom, then Bai Ge is a war god king who can defeat the Herrscher one by one from the front, while Dr. Mei is the national advisor.

She must be the calmest and smartest person, responsible for maintaining domestic stability and development while the king is away on campaign.

It can be said that with Bai Ge around, the will and confidence of the Previous Civilization humanity to overcome the Honkai were there.

With Mei around, the Moth Chasing Fire will never make the wrong decision and will always follow in Bai Ge's footsteps.

"I'm sorry, Bai Ge, I'm really sorry. Our funds have been really good lately, so I had no choice but to do this..."

Mei, with a mournful face, confessed to Bai Ge.

Leading an organization is not like conducting a scientific research experiment.

The latter, lacking funds, simply ask their superiors for more, while the former must allocate resources rationally. And a super-large organization like Moth Chasing Fire will always have areas where funds are insufficient.

But who can Mei ask for money? After all, they are an organization that is fighting against the Honkai. They can't just hold a cannon to the head of the United Nations and expect them to spit out more money and provide more funding, can they?

Well, actually the United Nations has run out of money. The Moth Chasing Fire has long since surpassed all political organizations and become the absolute and only voice of the human camp.

They had already succeeded in overthrowing their superiors.

Mei's current position is similar to that of the human leader, although there is Bai Ge above her.

When a corrupt herdsman...

But being a good leader can be exhausting!

Since taking this position, Mebius has been extremely stingy. Recently, she even revoked Mobius's unlimited funding privileges and reduced them by a significant amount.

(The Snakey is enraged.)

Moreover, after merging with Spiral Workshop, the Moth Chasing Fire's strength has greatly increased, but it also needs more money. Mei is currently worried about where to get funds.

As a result, Eden, this super-rich woman, has come to give money, and her only requirement is to join the Moth Chasing Fire and be close to Bai Ge.

Even though Mei knew Eden had those intentions, she couldn't refuse. There was nothing she could do; the rich woman was offering just too much!

"It's alright, Mei, I don't mind."

Bai Ge raised his hand and patted Mei's head, saying, "So what if I have a super beautiful woman who's drooling over me in the future? I really don't mind at all."

"By the way, how much did Eden give?"

"Five hundred billion euros... and this is just the first transaction."

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

Bai Ge gasped, thinking to himself, "Is this the financial power of Flame-Chasers, the master of the [Golden] Inscription? A stepping stone of 50 billion euros!"

Eden smiled slightly and said it was all small change.

"Actually, I originally planned to buy the entire Moth Chasing Fire, but it turns out you are much larger than I imagined. Even with all my assets, I could only buy less than a third of it, so I have to leave it at that for now."

"Buy the Moth Chasing Fire? Only Eden would dare to think like that. Rich people are so domineering."

Bai Ge's lips twitched, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on her face. Eden shook her head; she, too, felt she had far too much wealth.

In reality, Eden never intended to make a lot of money; it was simply that after showcasing her talent to the world, wealth automatically flowed into her pocket. (Island Exploding Raven is green with envy.)

She also knew that no matter how much money she had, it was ultimately just an external thing; it might be all-powerful, but it wasn't omnipotent. For example...

"Bai Ge, how much would it cost if I wanted to buy your entire day? Just name your price, whether it's one hundred million, one billion, or even ten billion, I won't haggle."

Eden suddenly spoke up, adopting the air of a domineering female CEO pursuing a handsome young man.

"Uh, what's wrong with you all of a sudden, Eden? I'm not that interested in money, after all, enough is enough."

"... I knew you would say that."

There are still people in this world who are unmoved by money. Eden looked at Bai Ge with satisfaction. Although she was richer than a country, no amount of gold and silver could buy Bai Ge's time for even a single day.

However...

"Then, may I have a day of your time? I'd like to invite you to my home so we can have a proper discussion about art and music."

"Of course, I'd love to."

Bai Ge agreed without hesitation.

Eden's gaze softened with increasing admiration. Even billions or tens of billions couldn't persuade this man to agree, but a simple invitation was enough to get him to agree.

Over the years in the industry, she has seen many people betray others for wealth. Few people can let their feelings override money, and such people are more precious and brilliant than gold.

"Ahem, Miss Eden, when is the promised 50 billion...?"

Mei coughed lightly to remind the wealthy woman that it was time to transfer the money.

She wasn't particularly interested in money, of course, but reality required it. Even a large organization like the Moth Chasing Fire needed to pay everyone's salary, and she didn't want to end up hanging from a lamppost one day.

"Oh, don't worry, it will arrive in your account today."

"That's good, you're very generous."

May breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the tight finances of the past few months were finally saved, and that next month they would not have to cut Mobius's research funding to pay his salary.

Although I still feel quite annoyed, I'm really grateful that Bai Ge managed to win over this rich woman, but...

Actually, you can join Eden even without spending money.

Even the Moth Chasing Fire wanted to beg her to join.

Although Eden isn't particularly skilled in combat, she possesses an ability far more useful than mere fighting: her immense fame!

In this Previous Civilization- civilization where everyone is a fan of Eden, the Moth Chasing Fire, having Eden, essentially control the voice of the people, and they plan to officially announce the existence of Honkai next.

Even if the groundwork is laid perfectly beforehand, it will still cause panic among the public. But if Eden is willing to speak out and reassure them, the problem will be solved directly.

And that's not all.

Eden's song can give people hope; for those who have suffered tragedy due to the Honkai, the song of this Flame-Chasers can give them the motivation to live.

Bai Ge had already witnessed Eden's ability to stir up other people's emotions through her songs; if she wanted to, she could evoke all sorts of feelings in people's hearts.

Sadness, happiness, will to survive, fighting spirit, and so on.

Therefore, Eden is essentially a support character who can provide a very wide range of buffs. With her around, at least the Moth Chasing Fire will no longer have to worry about the instability of the crowd's emotions.

Mei: "To be honest, Eden is much more useful Elysia. This time we've encountered a formidable enemy. In order to balance the situation, why don't we just fire Elysia?"

Aili: "???!"

Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language, Mei-chan!

"Anyway, Bai Ge is enough to deal with the Herrscher. Now that there are more Fusion Warrior and the Spiral Workshop's Mecha Legion, our combat power is already excessive. So... removing that pink fat woman who makes rice expensive is no problem at all!"

Mei became more and more moved as she spoke, and the wise man's eyes gleamed with absolute rationality devoid of emotion.

Elysia is very strong, in every sense of the word! But now that they have sufficient fighting power and the situation in the Previous Civilization is very good, it doesn't really matter whether this Pink Fairy is there or not.

Now that Bai Ge, Kevin, and even Kosma and Sakura all possess the strength to fight Herrscher one-on-one, let's just fire Elysia instead, just to save the cafeteria a bite to eat.

"Waaaaah, Bai Ge, Mei bullied me!"

Seeing that she was being targeted, Elysia threw herself into Bai Ge's arms for protection.

"Um, Mei, please stop scaring Aili."

"Tsk, Bai Ge dotes on Elysia again. He should dote on me too, sometimes (very quietly)."

Mei turned her head away unhappily, thinking to herself that today was a bad day. Not only had she failed to kick the Pink Fairy out of the game, but she had also encountered a new formidable opponent.

Moreover, I don't know why Mei felt so ashamed.

So much time has passed, and Mei still hasn't won Bai Ge over. She feels inexplicably ashamed about this, and she doesn't understand why.

(Mei: "You're terrible! You have the same face as me, and you still haven't managed to win over Bai Ge after all this time. Not only did you not win over Bai Ge the first time in this era, but you might not win over the second time, or even the third time. What a waste of my face!")

In short, thanks to her financial power, Eden successfully joined the Moth Chasing Fire and even parachuted into the position of senator. Theoretically, she is already Pink Fairy Lady's boss.

It seems unlikely that the two can remain best friends in this timeline. Eden has also changed from being the ultimate Aili fan in the original destiny to being the ultimate Bai Ge fan, and from believing in the Ai Sect to believing in Shiro-Gate.
