[Lucy’s POV: ]
’Well, I didn’t think there would be so much profit, but this is good.’
There was a detailed statent of everything we have earned after paying off for everything we had to and subtracting the construction charges.
’The stream system of this skill sure is amazing.’
It costs a shit ton of money to operate the skill but the returns are more than enough to make it up to the cost.
’So of them even spend money just because they like what they were seeing.’
It wasn’t known to the public of the stream that an epic was in making and disclosing it is against the Worldline rules anyway so, even though they were only here for the entertainnt that was playing in the highest possible quality, they enjoyed the show.
There was so backlash and so too good offers from so of the higher beings but we did a cost-benefit analysis and thanks to Anna’s continuous work and help, we managed to get what we had right now.
"Why does brother Lucifer look so happy?"
"He... well, he earned a good sum of money recently. He is thinking of various things he can waste that money on."
She was still upset that I wasn’t going to give her any of the money we made from the stream and the ads that I was playing during the breaks.
The revenue was crazy... in nine figures actually, and we weren’t expecting that kind of money just from a single long stream.
’Many of the funds had co from Raz’s fan club, and a good amount had co from the competition between the higher beings and the special individuals or groups that possessed a good amount of capital.’
There was a new sum to spend. But she had to understand even if we had all this money, it was only a good amount in terms of this world.
’The higher beings have a great amount of positive or negative Oz and they need a certain amount just to survive, or to exist would be a more appropriate term.’
Taking Anna or Cary’s example, both of them have an abundance of Oz, however, their re existence has a price in this Worldline.
’They had to maintain a certain amount just to live and if they cannot do that, they would cease to exist from not only this world but the entire Worldline’s database.’
There would first be penalties, of course, but soon there would co a ti when they would have to say goodbye to all the achievents they had, the epics that they had built up, the Myths if there were any, and after they had nothing left, they would have to pay with what they have until they recover the needed amount.
’It’s not an easy task to maintain one’s existence as an higher being.’
They had to be very careful, and since they could not tell soone what that required sum for their existence was, the other party, if they were close to them, had to be careful as well.
’One of the reasons we don’t use the Oz Anna and Cary have is this.’
We use what we make and what we have, and that much mostly ends up being more than enough.
’We have passive inco sources and there are also investnts that would give many more folds than the investnt in the long run.’
There would be changes in what we know of course but there are so of things that never change, so, we know we are going to make money from that thing.
"Hmmm... did he say he wouldn’t give you pocket money or sothing, El? Do you want so from if you are short on cash?"
Nes was offering her so money and yes, she had seven digit Oz that she had no use of so, she could most certainly lend her so money. But...
"Please don’t do that, Nes. She has her own money but she is spending all that behind things that she doesn’t even know will work or not-"
"It will work! And you will love it as well! Hump!"
We were having dinner after coming back from the fortress.
’It was a fun experience as well, I’d say.’
The fortress belonged to the successor of Chiragya the first Conqueror and that was .
But, as the one who stole the Ring of power from , she was the one that had most of the controlling authorities.
’She practically owned that island now.’
But it was alright since she was the only living being in this world that could possibly handle the processing required for even a single task in that damned fort.
’I was the successor of the conqueror and that would co in handy later on.’
But right now, as the only place that we had found related to the conqueror was the shrine and this floating island, the Key of Succession had no use just yet.
It wasn’t only an artifact that gave soone a perfect control of the shrine and the functions of the garden but also the key that was connected with everything that was once part of the Conqueror Chiragya’s authority.
There were many things that could be related to him since he wasn’t only related to this world, or this planet so, we would find many uses of the key.
Though, as the possessor of the ring, she was in charge of all the elents of the city that he had established, including the last part of that city, the sky island and the fortress.
"El? What does he an by that...?"
"Nothing much. I’m just making sothing, and it’s taking more funding than I expected.
I... kinda sorta ended up using all the money that I had, but it’s fine. I also earned a little bit recently so I can finish this project.
Don’t worry about it, and thanks for the offer.
In the future perhaps, if I need that money, I will certainly-"
"No you will not. Please leave the poor girl alone, you greedy liar."
She now had tens of tis more money than what she had just a few days ago.
It was even close to eight digits so there is no way I was going to give her anything anymore.
’She would hoard all the money from the auction we would have anyway so I wasn’t getting anything from that side.’
It was a loss for , but at the very least, I now have a new mber of my Hearts. So, at least, giving her the rest of the stuff wasn’t anything bad.
’And she knew what she was doing, hopefully.’
If she was spending that much, she most certainly had so certain reason for doing so.
And I have faith in her.
’If she was so certain that I would like what she was making, than there was nothing I could argue about.’
But still, I did not like the way she greedily asked Nes for her money that she had received from her (late) parents.
"Hump, don’t listen to that bastard. Please give so money when I need it. It might not be that long before I actually need so and he isn’t around to give it to ."
"He might not be around? What do you an by that?"
She was suddenly anxious once again from how she said that thing.
"She ant if I’m not around to give it to her, like right now where I’m not giving it to her even though I’m right here."
We had just co back from a three day trip and she was that much happy to see us back.
Those months where we were stuck in the dinsional dungeon must have been even more painful for her.
’She was too dependent on us.’
Though, that was also getting better as we spent less and less ti together due to everything going on with our lives.
’The epic and collecting rest of the Gambit mbers was a task that required us to go all around the world.’
And these past six months, we were going all around the world along with the house of Clubs.
There were special and unforeseen circumstances that made us change the targets that would take places in the groups and there were tis where the individuals that we wanted to recruit as the mbers of this organisation had already passed away.
’One of the individuals that I was looking forward to seeing in
Diamond was no more.’
But, well, we couldn’t do anything about sothing that wasn’t even there anymore.
We had to get the other candidates but, though it took ti, her Spades was almost done, and my Dimond was perfectly complete as well.
Hearts was on the verge of completion as well, and in only a little while, we should get all the other individuals as well.
’Three months.’
Midterms was on the way and we knew we would complete that with flying colours so we weren’t worried about that, so, we were looking forward to the holidays that would follow the exams.
In the months long ti we would have on our hands, we were planning to completely destroy the empire and make Rex the next emperor.
’It would take ti, but seeing as how Rex and Cathy’s relationship has progressed so much, it shouldn’t be that hard to manipulate him.’
We just have to ’help him’ deal with the emperor and when he was in the throne, we would practically have a complete backer for our new country.
’A new religion propagated by the new nation, and the allegedly, the new most powerful force of this world, that was also backed by the empire of the west wouldn’t be sothing that even Theocracy could go against.’
It would be great if Cathy awakened her Saintess powers by the ti the new religion was ready to be established, so we would also have a powerful divine figure to back us up.
The following two epics that would help us beco eligible to handle the two unique Rune skills were going to be very important to the two of us.
’I would take the fall of the empire. While she would be the propagator of the new religion and enemy of the Temple of twelve great gods.’
Their pantheon would be more difficult to deal with than the empire since fighting with gods was a more difficult task than fighting against an absolute closer to those gods.
"Now he looks happy... what the hell did you two do when you were gone?!"
"Haaa..."
Nes would bloom when we go back to her ho during our next vacation after finishing the first year.
It would be quite a fun ti dealing with that creature... but, I know El isn’t going to be too well when she sees her darling Nessy all sad and gloomy.
Still...
"He’s gone crazy, Nessy. We should go and tell the teachers."
"Hmmm?!"
She loved her, even though she wasn’t supposed to.
"We... we don’t have to... do that, do we?"
"Of course!"
"Shut up, you dumb idiot."
And, I knew better than anything else in this world, just what... receiving her Love actually ans.
