In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

"...You two really did that kind of thing!"

Ichi Nijika, however, looked shocked.

She had always thought that Goto Ichiri was dating Tsukikawa Shuu, but that it would probably only go as far as holding hands and kissing. To Ijichi Nijika, doing just that was already embarrassing.

I never expected it to be pushed forward so quickly, all in one go!

“We’re all adults, there’s no need to make a fuss about it,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"But...it doesn't happen that fast in TV dramas and anime, does it?" Ijiji Niji Natsumi said, blushing. "At least we have to wait until after university, after we start working...at least until we graduate high school!"

"What era of TV dramas and anime have you been watching?" Tsukikawa Shu asked with a hint of exasperation. "Besides, can TV dramas and anime be compared to reality?"

"In the past, TV dramas and anime often didn't promote the female lead and liked to keep the audience hanging to gain viewership. But nowadays, that's just a major flaw."

"If you're just flirting without pushing, and you want someone to be the victim, just say so."

“But! That’s too fast!” Nijika Ijichi exclaimed. “You and Pochi-chan have only been dating for two or three months now!”

"To be precise, it was one month before Pochi-chan became mine." Tsukikawa Shu nodded, recalling for a moment, "After getting her consent to start a harem, I also took her virginity."

"..."

Ijichi Nijika never expected Tsukikawa Shu to be so aggressive; he was a true predator, willing to take advantage of anyone and never utter a sound.

“Reality doesn’t drag on like in TV dramas and anime,” Tsukikawa Shuu said. “One-night stands are quite common, too.”

“Poch-chan would never have a one-night stand!” Ichiji Nijika said.

……

……

Ichi Nijika continued leveling up.

Meanwhile, Kitamura Motoyasu discovered that they were facing a huge crisis.

"Run quickly!"

"Damn it! How can monsters above level 20 be so strong?!"

"Aaaaaah! Help! Help me! I've been bitten!"

"Help...it hurts so much, help..."

At this moment, a dozen or so members who had entered the secret realm were being chased by a swarm of giant ants.

Each ant was the size of a small car, and they angrily charged at the dozen or so ants.

These are all monsters level 20 and above.

Two members were caught up because they were too slow, and their lower legs were immediately bitten off. They lay on the ground howling in pain.

However, the people in front of him dared not stop or try to save him.

They could only watch helplessly as these giant ants swallowed them whole and tore them to pieces.

Fortunately, two people who had fallen behind were able to escape.

They ran quite a distance, and everyone lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Meanwhile, Kitamura Motoyasu, Kawasumi Itsuki, and Amaki Ren also started arguing.

"Who told you to risk challenging a level 20 monster? I already told you that you can't challenge it at your current level!" Tianmu Lian slammed his fist on the table and roared.

“How was I supposed to know these guys would be so weak? I’ve already explained it once, but they just can’t remember. Can you blame me?” Kitamura Motoyasu said unhappily.

"Hmph, I think they're all a bunch of useless trash. It's such a waste of my time to teach these people," Kawasumi said.

The upgrade failed, and going out to acquire resources was also unsuccessful; at this point, they were completely at a stalemate.

Kitamura Motoyasu and his two companions argued and bickered, but they couldn't find a solution.

"In the end, it's all Tsukikawa Shu's fault!" Kitamura Motoyasu said angrily, then glared fiercely at Tsukikawa Shu on the other side.

At this moment, Tsukikawa Shuu remained unmoved. Since blocking them last time, she had never unblocked them again. At this moment, she was looking at the system screen with a serious expression, teaching Ijichi Nijika how to deal with those high-level monsters.

"Yes, it's all his fault!" Kawasumi Itsuki had long harbored a deep-seated hatred for Tsukikawa Shuu.

But right now, none of them can do anything about Tsukikawa Shu. They can't hurt her, so they can only stare helplessly and swallow their anger.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was filled with righteous indignation from all the viewers.

They had all witnessed firsthand how their team of three strongest individuals, on whom all their hopes had been placed, was defeated by those high-level monsters.

A group of people who had just reached level 10 went to challenge those high-level monsters, originally thinking that many people would gang up on one monster, trying to eliminate it and gain valuable experience.

However, things didn't go as planned. Not only did the ten of them fail to defeat a level 20 monster, but they were also killed and attracted a group of monsters of level 20 and above to chase them.

"It's all Tsukikawa Shu's fault!"

"The adults, including Kitamura Motoyasu, have already done their best. It's clearly Tsukikawa Shu's fault! He's the one who caused the monsters to break through the level!"

"If there hadn't been a fault line, would we be having such a hard time? It's all his fault."

Chapter 178 Too Lazy to Choose a Chapter Title *2

All the viewers and players were cursing and criticizing Tsukikawa Shuu.

However, judging from the current situation, although everyone is still very angry, compared to the massive verbal attacks that everyone launched at the beginning, the number of people now, although still considerable, has decreased significantly.

Tsukikawa Shuu didn't respond to them again, simply punching the air without any effect.

Moreover, most players have given up hope.

Only a very small number of players can make progress in the Otherworld. In the current Otherworld, first- and second-rate players can still make progress, while third-rate players, who are now around level 15, can only barely survive.

As fewer and fewer monsters become suitable for leveling up and development, these players are also facing the brink of being eliminated.

As for lower-level players, without experienced players to guide them, it is extremely difficult for them to survive on their own, and newbies often die as soon as they enter the game.

"What should we do now?" Kawasumi cursed, but he was at a loss and had no choice but to sit back down.

"What can we do?" Tianmu Lian said. "Keep grinding those low-level monsters and try to close the level gap. We can't let Yuechuan Shu widen the level gap any further."

"Right now, the gap is only between monsters level 10 and 20. If we don't catch up soon, this level gap will continue to spread upwards."

"So, this is the only way we have to grind low-level monsters?" Kitamura Motoyasu protested. "How long will this take? And can we really catch up with Tsukikawa Shuu this way?"

"Hmph! Only a dog would bother with those low-level monsters all day!" Kawasumi Itsuki roared.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Tianmu Lian asked.

"Since Tsukikawa Shu has blocked us, then let's go and confront the member he brought!" Kawasumi Itsuki said. "I refuse to believe that she can defy the will of so many of us, including a thousand people in the underworld!"

"Yes, if she doesn't agree, we'll kill her!" Kitamura Motoyasu slammed his fist on the table and roared.

"Killing each other is not allowed here. Be careful not to lose your life too." Tianmu Lian crossed his arms, looking very impatient.

I originally thought that Kawasumi Itsuki and Kitamura Motoyasu would come up with some brilliant solutions, but I overestimated them. One is simple-minded, and the other is a brat with chuunibyou syndrome who likes to act impulsively.

"So all we can do is try to reason with her peacefully?!" Kitamura Motoyasu said.

“I won’t do it!” Kawasumi Itsuki also said.

"We have to do it, whether we like it or not!" Tianmu Lian said.

“Hmph, since we can’t kill her now, we’ll threaten her. If she doesn’t stop, we’ll wipe her out the next time we enter the inner world,” Kitamura Motoyasu said.

"Do you think it'll be useful? She still has Tsukikawa Shuu behind her," Amaki Ren said.

Although Tenki Ren didn't know much about Tsukikawa Shu, he could tell from the words of those players who called themselves Tsukikawa Shu from Tsukigawa Town that Tsukikawa Shu was quite strong.

Moreover, he seemed to be on par with Kitamura Motoyasu, currently the strongest player. This made Amaki Ren somewhat wary.

"How is it useless?" Kawasumi Itsuki sneered. "Have you forgotten that we are the strongest players in our respective towns? The three of us together, are we afraid of him?"

"That's right! And now all the thousand players in the four towns are on our side. We'll wipe him out in no time!" Kitamura Motoyasu was also full of confidence.

"..."

Seeing these two people overflowing with confidence, Tianmu Lian gave up on continuing the discussion.

"In short, let's talk to that member of Tsukikawa Shuu's group first, and also convey our stance to Tsukikawa Shuu through her," Amaki Renya said coldly.

……

……

Compared to the few days it took back then, Ichiji Nijika's current upgrade speed is a leap forward.

A week after entering the secret realm, his level had already broken through to level 30, and he was even on par with Tenmu Ren and Kawasumi Itsuki.

This is normal, though. The secret realm is rich in resources and has a large number of monsters, making it easy to grow stronger, unlike the outside world which is full of dangers and difficulties.

Moreover, Ichi Nijika is currently stealing resources and experience from others, while the other dozen or so people are still struggling to fight low-level monsters and licking their meager experience. With the resources and experience of more than ten people combined, it would be difficult for her not to level up rapidly.

In the past few days, Ijichi Nijika's attitude towards Tsukikawa Shuu has changed a lot. On the basis of clearing up the misunderstanding and understanding, they are now even closer.

They can even discuss cooking together.

A campfire was burning, with golden-brown roasted fish on top.

"Look! How's my grilled fish?"

"And the soup I made!"
