Hachiman Hikigaya took a look. One slot was 500,000, the second was 1 million... buying up to the sixth slot would cost 31.5 million. He felt it was a bit too expensive, something he couldn't afford right now.

"I can't afford it. Looks like I'll have to grind slowly and try buying it again after I save up more money."

Kazuma Satou browsed through, but there were simply too many items to look through.

He waved his hand. Forget it. He'd consider what to buy or strengthen next time he logged in.

"Logging off. Let's play together again next time."

"Ok."

"Bye~"

The three successfully logged off, their consciousness leaving the game and returning to reality.

However, the livestream chat exploded.

[Orochimaru: "Are these... descriptions all real?"]

[Satoru Gojo: "If they're real, then it's all a bit too exaggerated."]

[Mao-chan: "@Customer Service Xiang, pull me into the group."]

[Aizen: "@Customer Service Xiang, pull me into the group."]

[Sora: "@Customer Service Xiang, pull me into the group."]

[Emperor: "@Customer Service Xiang, pull me into the group."]

Meanwhile, the test group chat also exploded with sensational news.

[Conan: "@Kazuma Satou, is what you're saying true or not?!"]

[Kazuma Satou: "Do you think I'd lie to you? The group owner just gave it all to us. They cashed out all the formal wear, items, and noble phantasms for us, saying it was a reward for the livestream having an effect. We can use them in reality!"]

[Kazuma Satou: "Yu's Footprints Map.jpg"]

[Kazuma Satou: "Rivers and Mountains Map.jpg"]

[Kazuma Satou: "Bow of Prayer.jpg"]

Since Kazuma Satou was on a bus, he took the photos on the side of his thigh to avoid being discovered by others, so the results were a bit strange.

However, they were still displayed.

[Marcille: "???"]

[Uncle Tony: "???"]

[Hachiman Hikigaya: "Oath of the Swordless.jpg"]

[Hachiman Hikigaya: "Mmm, it's real. Speaking of which, besides Komachi, no one has ever given me a birthday present. sniffle I'm so touched."]

[Kurisu Makise: "I got one too (∩_∩)."]

[Kurisu Makise: "Person of All Trades.jpg"]

Kurisu Makise: "After putting it on, I feel like my research ideas and inspiration have improved quite a bit."

[Toyokawa Shoko: "Um... I accidentally leaked this group chat on the livestream."]

[Kazuma Satou: "@Dao Qitian, is this okay, boss?"]

[Dao Qitian: "For the next test, we should be able to accommodate two teams simultaneously. We can selectively pull in a few people for a lottery. You guys can decide amongst yourselves; the right to invite people is yours."]

[Customer Service Xiang: "The group owner... is so easygoing."]

[Kazuma Satou: "That's the mindset of a true boss."]

[Kurisu Makise: "I feel a sense of camaraderie as fellow researchers."]

[Conan: "Since that's the case, let's discuss who we should let in."]

[Conan: "I think we shouldn't let in schemers or people who are clearly going to do evil first. What do you guys think?"]

[Marcille: "I agree."]

[Kurisu Makise: "I agree too, but how do we judge?"]

[Hachiman Hikigaya: "Based on how someone talks, I don't think it's possible to confirm good or bad."]

[Conan: "Mao-chan, who often hangs out in the livestream, is probably a good person. We can pull her in to make up the numbers."]

[Kazuma Satou: "1"]

[Hachiman Hikigaya: "1"]

[Conan invited "Mahiro Oyama" to join the chat group.]

[In-group vote 4/8]

[Half passed.]

[Mahiro Oyama joined the chat group.]

[Mao-chan: "Thank you, everyone, nya!"]

[Conan: "As for the others, I feel like they're all a bit lacking."]

Uncle Tony: "That's true. Why don't you pull in people you know first?"

After he said that, the group fell into an eerie silence.

Kazuma Satou had no friends in real life, only some gaming buddies online. He basically didn't know anyone else.

Hachiman Hikigaya, besides Komachi, only had a few acquaintances he could barely call friends. As for friends, he could barely count Shibaki as one.

Kurisu Makise had basically no ordinary friends from childhood to adulthood. She had one or two friends in research, but they were too far away.

Toyokawa Shoko had just finished her band activities.

Conan thought about it carefully... he didn't know who from his real life he could invite. If he invited someone close to him, it would easily expose him as Shinichi Kudo, which was very unsafe. If he invited others, they might be members of the Black Organization. Then it would all be over.

Marcille: "I'll invite Laios in first. He... I can only say he's not a bad person."

Kurisu Makise: "Is he another oddball like those two troublemakers, @Kazuma Satou and @Hachiman Hikigaya?"

Marcille: "Perhaps... even more odd, probably."

Conan: "Then he's truly remarkable."

Dao Qitian: "Alright, go ahead and invite him."

Kazuma Satou: "Big shot, you're awesome."

Marcille invited "Laios" to join the chat group.

No one objected when the group owner spoke. Even Shirou Emiya, who had been lurking, came out and silently cast a vote.

Group Vote 9/9

Unanimously approved.

"Laios" joined the chat group.

PS: An extra chapter is added. You can check if there are any better ideas for the item design and pricing, or better arrangements. I will collect opinions and continue to update and optimize.

Chapter 0014: New Member and Candidates for the Second Test

In the world of Dungeon Meshi.

Laios felt something in his mind and his expression immediately turned serious as he distanced himself from his teammates.

"You all stay away from me. I've been influenced by an evil entity."

Kilchak was a bit curious.

"What evil entity?"

"It seems to be called a chat group."

Kilchak glanced at the black screen of the live broadcast, confirmed the comments on it, and looked shocked.

"A chat group? Isn't that... the thing that lets you play this virtual labyrinth?"

For the people in this world, the game Delta of Fate was no different from an underground labyrinth. In fact, it was even more enticing. This was because the rewards were much greater than those of an underground labyrinth. It was dangerous, very dangerous, but... you wouldn't truly die! It was practically risk-free!

"Honestly, I think making money this way is much faster than in the underground labyrinth. We really should go."

Kilchak rubbed his hands together, looking like a shrewd businessman.

Marcille raised her hand.

"Um... I was the one who invited Laios into the group."

Kilchak immediately said, "Then pull me in too!"

Falinn, who was 1.8 meters tall, softly raised her hand and said gently.

"I want to see too."

"Wait!"

Laios shook his head, looking serious. "We can't confirm if it's truly safe yet. I need to verify it first."

Laios: "Hello everyone."

Kazuma Satou: "Hello, nice to meet you."

Laios: "Shake hands."

Laios immediately said excitedly to his companions:

"This person is a good guy!"

Marcille put her hand to her forehead. Laios was too easily fooled, completely lacking in social skills.

But he was right.

They should wait.

They would invite their companions in after some time.

Although the chance was slim, it wasn't impossible for the group owner to be someone who might lure a group of people in before slaughtering them.

She couldn't be blamed for being overly cautious; there were too many scams in the underground labyrinths of this world.

As a researcher of dark magic, she was bound to be a bit paranoid.

Meanwhile, In the everyday world.

Hachiman Hikigaya swung the sword shaped like Durandal a few times in his room, unable to help himself from grinning foolishly.

"Hehehehehe."

Does anyone understand the dreams of chuunibyou boys?

But a wooden arrow or a wooden stick could transform into a replica of a legendary sword.

It was incredibly cool!

Hachiman Hikigaya entered the group, preparing to show off again. In reality, he had no one to share with.

As soon as he joined the group, he saw a big shot surface.
