Chương 150: Ten Billion Points
It seemed that the chat members were making up for the past seven days when they couldn't chat. They were energetically sending messages, causing the chat to scroll at a rapid pace.
Moreover, since sending messages didn't require typing, it was all done through telepathy. While thinking might take time, sending a message every second was still quite easy.
After the chat group was upgraded, its level even surpassed Eriri's slightly. However, despite this, the chat group still couldn't help her improve her strength at all.
Eriri absorbed cosmic energy, which could be considered the origin of the universe. Normally, it wouldn't be absorbed by anything. Therefore, even the chat group couldn't control cosmic energy.
Even if the chat group could help her advance from Level 8 Stage 5 to Stage 6, it wouldn't be faster than Eriri's own natural evolution.
One can't rush things. Using chat group points to increase strength also required time. While it might take less time in the early stages, after entering Level 8, advancing even one minor stage would take several years, even if one used points without rest.
Eriri's speed in absorbing cosmic energy had already reached its limit. It had only taken her eleven years to advance from Level 1 Stage 1 to Level 8 Stage 5, which was considered extraordinary.
Ultimately, the chat group was just a pastime for Eriri.
Though it was during class time, Eriri wasn't paying attention at all and was happily chatting away in the group.
Just five minutes after the chat resumed, the long-lost voice of Little Skirt (Kozue) echoed in Eriri's mind.
"Ta-da! Lady Eriri, I'm back!"
From Little Skirt's excited voice, it was clear she was overjoyed. After all, it was rare for a chat group to evolve as quickly as hers.
It had taken her just over a month to evolve from her birth to the High-Level Intermediate chat group. If other chat groups knew, they'd probably be green with envy.
"Welcome back. You're even more energetic now," Eriri replied while simultaneously chatting in the group.
"Of course! Also, I can now manifest a physical form, Lady Eriri. Let me show you!"
Before her upgrade, Little Skirt had only existed as a ball of light, communicating with Eriri through telepathy and by transmitting messages to her mind.
Now, as an High-Level Intermediate chat group, although she couldn't manifest a true physical body like a Level 9 chat group, she could still create a visible form.
"Really? Let me see."
Eriri, curious about Little Skirt's appearance, withdrew her consciousness from the chat interface and focused on Little Skirt's position.
Little Skirt's core had not changed much, still appearing as a ball of pure white light.
"I'm going to start now, Lady Eriri."
Sensing Eriri's focus, Little Skirt began to transform in front of her. The glowing white sphere trembled, its light growing more intense, and before long, a young girl appeared in Eriri's mind.
The young girl was completely naked, with long white hair cascading down her back. Her blue eyes were pure, resembling flawless sapphires, with long eyelashes that formed perfect arcs. Her delicate nose and rosy lips were incredibly charming.
Her petite frame was a bit shorter than Eriri's, standing at about 140 cm. However, her figure was slightly more developed than Eriri's, with no imperfections, like a flawless gem.
Little Skirt leaped into Eriri's arms, clinging to her like a kitten, rubbing against her affectionately, and making odd noises.
"Lady Eriri, ghehehe."
"Oh, what a cute little thing!" Eriri hugged Little Skirt's smooth, soft body with a delighted smile.
Little Skirt's manifested form was even cuter than Eriri had imagined, surpassing even Arifureta and Shinobu, and only falling short of herself.
"Hehe, as long as you like it, Lady Eriri," Little Skirt beamed, pleased that her form was appreciated. She had intentionally chosen this appearance to make Eriri happy.
Even when Little Skirt evolved to level 9 and gained a real body, her appearance would remain unchanged forever.
"Aren't you going to put on some clothes? You're all bare," Eriri chuckled, giving Little Skirt's bottom a playful pat, enjoying the soft sensation.
Though cuddling a naked Little Skirt was comfortable, clothes were still necessary; after all, bad habits could form if she stayed naked.
"Roger that!" Little Skirt saluted playfully before hopping out of Eriri's arms. With a quick swipe of her hand, a black-and-white maid outfit appeared on her body. She spun around and asked, "How's this?"
"Mm, very nice. I love it," Eriri said after circling Little Skirt, clearly satisfied with her attire.
Little Skirt's maid outfit was identical to those worn by Aoi Kujo and Athena, except she wasn't wearing shoes or socks, leaving her smooth, bare legs and dainty feet exposed to Eriri.
Clearly, Little Skirt had perfectly understood Eriri's tastes.
"Hooray!"
Little Skirt cheered and jumped up in joy. Eriri's approval meant the world to her.
"Lady Eriri, I'll now transfer the points from the Villains Chat Group we recovered earlier."
The next moment, Eriri received a notification from the chat group.
[Ding! Successfully recovered the Villains Chat Group, earning 10 billion points.]
The points she received from an High-Level Elementary chat group were a thousand times greater than what a Mid-Level system would provide, marking an enormous difference.
It also showed that the higher the level, the more points were needed.
As usual, Eriri prepared to screenshot and share her achievement with the group.
[Eriri (Level 8 Stage 5): Sisters, it's time to share the wealth! Screenshot.jpg]
As soon as the screenshot was posted, the chat group exploded with excitement. Whatever they had been discussing before was instantly forgotten.
The timing was perfect since the new chat group features had just been updated, and everyone was feeling short on points. Eriri's news was like a godsend.
[Chika Fujiwara (Level 3, Stage 5): T-ten billion??? gulp .jpg]
[Ruri Gokou (Level 2, Stage 9): So strong! Bowing down.jpg]
[Elaina (Level 3, Stage 7): Points, so many points! Share, share! I love you, Eriri! Drooling.jpg]
[Arifureta (Level 4, Stage 2 / Group Leader): Although I expected the Villains Chat Group to be valuable, I didn't think it'd be worth this much!!!]
[Kanae Kocho (Level 3, Stage 9): Finally, I can afford to buy the invitation letter! Thank you so much, Eriri! Heart.jpg]
[Alche (Level 3, Stage 7): Waiting for the red envelope!]
[Yuuki Asuna (Level 3, Stage 3): Waiting for the red envelope!]
[Kiss-Shot (Level 4, Stage 4): Waiting for the red envelope!]
[Lala (Level 6, Stage 8): Waiting for the red envelope!]
[Sakura Tohsaka (Level 3, Stage 6): Waiting for the red envelope!]
[…]
[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 5): Hold on, everyone. I'm about to send it. Don't worry, there's enough for everyone!]
Feeling the excitement of the group members, Eriri made sure everyone was active before sending the largest red envelope in the history of the chat group.
This time, instead of using the usual "luck-based" distribution method, she opted for an equal distribution to avoid any jealousy or imbalance among the members.
[Ding! Eriri (Level 8 Stage 5) has sent a red envelope.]
The moment the red envelope was sent, everyone eagerly clicked to claim it. Within seconds, a notification appeared in each member's mind.
[Ding! You have received 700 million points.]
The moment the points were credited, members like Arifureta, Chika, Asuna, Ruri, and others couldn't contain their excitement. Many of them, in the middle of classes or other activities, jumped up in joy, drawing attention from those around them.
For example, Arifureta, overwhelmed by the thrill of receiving 700 million points, leaped out of her seat, causing everyone in the class to stare at her.
The teacher stopped mid-lecture and, along with the students of Class 1-E, turned to look at Arifureta.
However, instead of being upset, the female teacher asked with concern, "Arifureta, is something wrong? Do you need to go to the nurse's office?"
"No, no, I'm fine. Please continue with the class," Arifureta replied awkwardly, sitting back down.
"If anything happens, feel free to let me know," the teacher kindly reminded her before resuming the lesson.
Arifureta and the others had become somewhat of a sensation at school, and both students and teachers regarded them with a mixture of awe and respect.
These days, Eriri's identity at school had become widely known, and as a result, Arifureta and others like her were also receiving considerable attention. Whether from students or teachers, everyone treated them with a mix of admiration and reverence.
Meanwhile, in Butterfly Mansion.
Shinobu Kocho noticed her sister's sudden excitement and guessed that something must have happened in the chat group.
"Sister, did something happen in the chat group? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Shinobu Kocho asked, smiling at her sister.
Since her sister had joined the chat group, her strength had been growing steadily. By now, Shinobu felt that her sister was no longer an ordinary human being.
Just a few days ago, Shinobu Kocho had accompanied her sister in hunting down an Upper Moon Demon, reportedly Upper Moon Two. However, the battle had left Shinobu dumbfounded; her sister had defeated the demon in a single strike.
She hadn't even used breathing techniques. With just a casual sword swing, the mighty Upper Moon Two had been obliterated, leaving behind a massive rift stretching hundreds of meters long and shards of Nichirin swords scattered across the ground.
Both sisters had been shocked by the outcome. Fortunately, there were no bystanders to witness the destruction, or the aftermath could have been even worse.
Afterward, Shinobu's sister had refrained from hunting demons, instead spending her time at Butterfly Mansion familiarizing herself with her greatly increased strength. The cost of this power was high—she had accidentally caused significant damage to the mansion during her training.
Shinobu was sure that even if Muzan Kibutsuji himself were to stand before her sister, he'd be defeated in one strike.
Unfortunately, they hadn't been able to locate Kibutsuji recently.
Upon hearing her sister's question, Kanae Kocho calmed her excitement a little. Her flushed cheeks still carried traces of happiness.
"Shinobu, I can now invite you to join the chat group," Kanae announced with a smile.
"Isn't inviting someone to the group supposed to cost one million points? Where did you get so many points, Sister?" Shinobu asked curiously.
Kanae had previously explained the group's invitation feature, and ever since, Shinobu had been eagerly awaiting her chance to join.
"Eriri just sent a red envelopes in the group. Guess how many points I got?" Kanae asked mysteriously, teasing her younger sister.
"How many? It must be more than a million, right?" Shinobu asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Of course, more than a million. Take a wild guess. Be bold," Kanae replied, shaking her head with a playful smile.
"Five million?" Shinobu gulped, saying what seemed like a massive amount to her.
"Nope. Try again. Be even bolder," Kanae laughed.
"Fifty... fifty million?" Shinobu hesitated, already feeling like her guess was ridiculous. After all, she knew that even at her sister's highest, her points had never exceeded one million.
"Still not enough. Think bigger," Kanae said, holding up a finger and waving it teasingly, her face mischievous.
"Oh, Sister, just tell me!" Shinobu exclaimed, impatiently curious.
"Alright, alright. It's 700 million points!" Kanae finally revealed the amount, causing Shinobu to be utterly speechless.
"Not only can I bring you and Kanao into the group, but those points will last the three of us a very long time."
"Woohoo! That's amazing!" Shinobu, once stunned, now burst into joy, leaping up and hugging her sister tightly. Then she went over and hugged Kanao, who was as expressionless as ever. Shinobu's smile showed no signs of stopping.
