Multiverse: In Little Garden, Becoming a God through Once Proven, Forever Proven

No one present objected, but no one agreed either. They simply watched Sandora standing on the raised platform.

They watched the eleven-year-old girl who had just taken the position and grown a little nervous under the pressure of everyone's gazes.

Everything went smoothly after that. No one objected, much less made any provocations.

After the funeral, everyone left. Qin Qi and White Night Yaksha returned to the East Side as well, and unseen undercurrents began to stir.

"A few months, huh? I'm afraid the North Side won't know peace during that time."

Qin Qi shook his head and reached out to stroke the cat with practiced ease. The North Side was a region occupied by spirits, oni, and demons of formidable power.

As a result, public order there was chaotic, and it had also developed its own distinctive Floor Master system.

Everywhere else had only one Floor Master, but the North Side had several, which led to fierce struggles for power.

"You're going to make a killing."

White Night Yaksha glanced at Qin Qi. The chaotic fighting might be trouble for others, but for Qin Qi, who had prepared in advance...

It was a fine chance to make a fortune. The handicrafts he had stockpiled would grow increasingly expensive the longer the fighting went on.

"Am I the kind of person who gloats over other people's misfortune? I'm genuinely worried about the North Side."

"Hmph, hmph, hmph."

"Forget it, forget it. If you don't believe me, so be it. I'm done talking to you. I'm going back to my shop. Bye."

Qin Qi left with the cat in his arms. Back at the shop, Black Rabbit was excitedly minding the store.

"Manager, you're back!"

"No one came looking for you while you were away."

Black Rabbit ran up to Qin Qi, her hair turning pink. Clearly, she really was excited.

"Got it."

Qin Qi nodded and set the tabby cat on the table.

"Meow."

The tabby used his paws to take something out and place it on the table. Then he turned and sauntered away. He was off to wander again.

"Huh? Why is Mr. Executive leaving?"

Watching the tabby walk away, Black Rabbit instinctively wanted to chase after him, but Qin Qi called her back before she could move.

"Leave him be. He'll come back on his own when he wants to."

Qin Qi watched the tabby. He felt the cat might have come back specifically to accompany him to the event in the North Side.

But he had no proof. Still, it didn't matter. The kitty was definitely a good kitty, the kind that didn't hiss.

"What's this for?"

Qin Qi looked at the bead the tabby had left on the table. After he examined it briefly, the bead gave off a faint glow.

In an instant, the shop seemed to fill with lake water, and Qin Qi and Black Rabbit both felt as though they were immersed in it.

It was cool and comfortable, leaving them feeling refreshed and perfectly calm.

"This is the Eye of Water, a specialty of the South Side. It gives off a water-like glow that brings peace of mind and soothes the wounds in one's heart."

"It isn't a combat Gift, but it's a very rare support Gift."

Black Rabbit took a closer look, recognized it, and explained it to Qin Qi.

"Oh, a night-light. I'll find a base for it later and turn it on when I sleep."

Qin Qi put it away and went back to his other tasks. Just then, a ding rang out in his mind.

――――――――――

I had planned to start the second simulation today, but there was a bit too much to cover, so I can only leave it until tomorrow. I'm terribly sorry!

Chapter 38: Dayun Heavy Truck, Sweeping Through Another World!

[Ding! Congratulations on completing your first choice at a crossroads in life. You have gained the ability to invite people from the JoJo world to Little Garden.]

"Huh?"

"System, what the hell are you talking about? How long have I been back, and you're only telling me this now?"

"Are you lagging? You really need a system update."

Qin Qi recalled using a computer with 360 installed. Sometimes he only saw messages from long ago many days after they were sent.

Don't ask why. If you must know, 360 blocked them as suspected viruses.

"Black Rabbit, go buy me something to display the Eye of Water in."

Qin Qi turned to Black Rabbit and spoke.

"Mm, Manager, what kind do you want?"

Black Rabbit nodded and asked.

"Whatever. Just pick something you like."

Qin Qi gave Black Rabbit some money and sent her off. Once she was gone, he began to seriously examine the system's newly updated function.

"System, explain it in detail. What's this invitation thing all about?"

Qin Qi spoke in his mind.

[You may send invitations to people you have previously met in the JoJo world. As long as they agree, they can come to Little Garden.]

"Hmm, can they go back after they come here?"

Qin Qi thought for a moment and asked.

Little Garden looked like a pretty good place, but if you asked someone out of the blue to abandon their familiar world and everything in it to come here...

Anyone in their right mind would refuse. He might have tricked JoJo and the others plenty of times, but he couldn't do them that dirty.

They were good brothers, after all.

[Yes. The system has connected to the JoJo world and formed a spacetime gate. It can be opened once a day and will remain open for three hours each time.]

[Both people and items can pass through during that time.]

[You may also choose whether the spacetime gate is hidden or visible, and determine who can and cannot see it.]

[You may determine who can and cannot pass through it.]

"This... an interdimensional trader?!"

After hearing the system's notification, Qin Qi's first thought was to use the resources of the JoJo world to obtain the goods he needed.

Then he could sell some ordinary Gifts from Little Garden in exchange for money over there, allowing him to purchase even more goods and resources.

"Joseph's family has money, just as it happens. I'll call them over and discuss a partnership. They'll handle purchasing over there, and I'll handle sales here."

Qin Qi thought for a moment and said inwardly, Send an invitation to Joseph Joestar.

[Would you like to issue the invitation by sending an invitation letter?]

"Yes."

[Invitation letter sent.]

"You just asked if I wanted to invite him by sending an invitation letter. Does that mean there are other methods to choose from?"

[The following options are now available: 1. Invitation letter; 2. Isekai truck; 3. Magic circle summoning. They all have the same effect. You may choose according to your preference.]

"Will that isekai truck run someone over and kill them?"

A good idea suddenly popped into Qin Qi's head. How did that saying go again? If you didn't trick your good brothers, wouldn't that be a waste?

[No. In essence, this is only another method of summoning.]

"Then summon Caesar for me, with a Dayun heavy truck!"

Qin Qi spoke.

[Dayun heavy truck dispatched to issue the invitation.]

Meanwhile, in the JoJo world, it was still shortly after Joseph and the others had defeated the Pillar Men, when they were aboard a ship preparing to go to America.

"What's this?"

Joseph had learned that Lisa Lisa was his mother, and that his good brother Qin Qi had actually wanted to become his dad.

Deeply displeased, he walked over to the table for a drink. But just then, he happened to notice an invitation letter and, without knowing why, instinctively opened it.

"JoJo, I'm in a really fun place right now. Want to come along?" - Invited by Qin Qi.

"What's Qin Qi up to? Is he on the ship too?"

Joseph looked around in confusion. He hadn't seen Qin Qi on the ship, and he distinctly remembered there being nothing on the table earlier.

"And what's this about a fun place? What the hell is he..."

As Joseph spoke, the scenery around him changed. The sea, the ship, Lisa Lisa and the others all vanished.

In their place were a smiling Qin Qi and an unfamiliar ceiling and walls.

"What the hell?!"

"Where did you bring me?"

Joseph stood there dumbfounded, holding the invitation letter in his left hand and a wineglass in his right. Are you cheating?!

We both trained in Hamon, so how come I still don't know anything while you've already started using Instant Transmission?!

Aren't I a genius?! How did things end up like this?!

"Joseph, I know you're confused right now, but hold that thought and let me explain. Also, I have a business deal to discuss with you."

Qin Qi stepped forward and began to explain.

Meanwhile, Caesar was on the streets of Venice.

"I have two more dates today. Hmm, I should make it in time."

Caesar had arranged dates with two girls that day. He checked the time and prepared to buy them some small gifts.

Just then, a Dayun heavy truck appeared out of thin air and barreled straight toward him.

"Dodge!"

Seeing the enormous truck charging at him, Caesar immediately used Hamon to dodge away.

But in the next second, the Dayun heavy truck pulled an incredibly flashy drift, turned around, and sent Caesar flying.

"F**k!"

Caesar threw his arms up in front of him, but the pain he expected never came. Instead, he heard a familiar voice.

"Caesar, long time no see."

Caesar lowered the arms shielding him and saw Qin Qi smiling in front of him, with Joseph beside him wearing a gloating expression.

"Qin Qi, JoJo, wh-where is this? What's going on?"

Caesar looked around in confusion. Hadn't a truck just hit him? Why was he completely unharmed?

Wait, could this be a hallucination? If it's a hallucination, it shouldn't hurt. I'll give him a hard pinch.

"That hurts! Caesar, why are you pinching me?!"

Joseph immediately let out a scream.

"Looks like it isn't a hallucination. What on earth is going on?"
