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

"When exactly did Tsukikawa Shuu find a girlfriend?" Hiratsuka Shizuka still couldn't figure it out.

After thinking it over, it seems that Tsukikawa Shu and that girl have never had any interaction, so how did they suddenly get together?

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't think much of it and continued brushing her teeth.

However, at that moment, her vision suddenly blurred as a dazzling white mist inexplicably enveloped her.

"what happened?"

Before she could figure it out, when she came to her senses, she was stunned.

I was standing on the street wearing slippers, holding a cup and toothbrush in my hand.

All around were abandoned houses covered in moss, and the cement streets were uneven; he was in a post-apocalyptic city.

"Where exactly is this? A parallel world? Or another world?"

Anyway, this isn't the original neon light.

And this is the outfit I came in?

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked down at her pajamas and her feet in slippers... well, they were blocked by something.

[Current Mission: Survive for 5 days]

Beware of the monsters around you. Defeating them will grant you equipment and experience, but they are also extremely dangerous; you could become their meal.

If you can survive for 5 days, you will return to your original world intact and await the next call from the other world.

If you die here, you will also die in the real world.

A cold, impersonal system notification appeared before my eyes.

They really are risking their lives...

But if I come into this world completely naked, how am I supposed to survive?

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the desolate city.

Just as she was thinking, a voice called out to her.

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

The voice was familiar. Hiratsuka Shizuka looked up and saw the face she knew best.

"Tsukawa Hiiragi?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared blankly at Tsukikawa Shuu, who was clearly prepared.

Tsukikawa Shuu wasn't wearing her school uniform at the time, but rather a black tracksuit that allowed for easy movement. She had a katana at her waist and a blood-stained iron hammer in her hand.

Beside her was a girl wearing pink sportswear.

Tsukikawa Shu and Goto Ichiri originally had a lot of equipment with them, but when they came in, they found that apart from the most basic clothes and small items, they could not bring anything else in.

Each time the Otherworld opens, new players enter at a ratio of 50% random passersby and 50% people with connections. After entering, Tsukikawa Shuu and Goto Ichiri looked around and then encountered Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Tsukikawa Shu was quite surprised to meet her teacher in such a place.

"Is this a suitable place to talk? Come with me," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked, unfamiliar with this world, and could only follow Tsukikawa Shuu.

However, as she took a step, she suddenly realized that she was still wearing that loose nightgown, revealing her chest. Her face flushed slightly, and she pulled her nightgown closer before quickly following Tsukikawa Shu.

This time, upon entering the inner world, many new things appeared.

[Player count and average level have met the requirements; the system is now opening a communication platform.]

Every player can speak and post relevant information on this platform.

Chat rooms and forums will not reveal personal information or avatars, but everyone speaks using their real names.

A forum-like interface appeared before me, complete with chat rooms and forums.

There's not much to say about the forum; it's no different from the original world. The chat rooms are filled with real-time messages, and everyone can speak on them, making it seem quite lively.

"What's going on? What is this thing? Where am I? Why did I get here?!"

"Help! I survived three days of hunger last time, but I really can't stand five days this time!"

"Any pros want to mentor me? I'm a cute girl..."

……

It's mostly newbies sending messages, and messages are scrolling by so fast these days that Tsukikawa Shuu is too lazy to bother with them.

Many people still believe that this alternate world has some kind of order, and that they can chat and ask for help on it just like in the original world. Little do they know that this thing will expose their true information more quickly, which is the most fatal thing.

There were far fewer speakers on the forum, and I didn't see any newbies posting panicked complaints. I guess the system filters out these meaningless things.

Some veteran players have already posted trading information on it.

Neither the chat groups nor the forums displayed player avatars; it was like a very rudimentary chat application, offering only the most basic information exchange.

Tsukikawa Shu glanced at the trading posts on the forum, but there wasn't much to see. Last time in the Otherworld, Tsukikawa Shu had already farmed all the necessary materials to the point of overflowing, so she didn't need any items at all.

He's now more focused on something new.

The Eastern Suburbs instance is now unlocked.

[Entry Requirements: Player level 20 or above leading the team]

Chapter 19 How come you're so skilled at this!

[Entry Requirements: Player level 20 or above leading the team]

[Reliable rewards: Large amounts of experience cards, weapon upgrade materials]

Random item drops: Excellent (1%), Rare (0.5%), Epic (0.1%)

Tsukikawa Shuu glanced at her level, which was exactly level 20.

"I wonder how long it will take to run a dungeon once," Tsukikawa Hiiragi pondered.

Epic equipment is obviously hard to obtain, so Tsukikawa Shuu won't think about it for now. But the probability of obtaining this excellent equipment is 1%, and that of rare equipment is 0.5%. If you calculate it according to the gacha mechanism, it's too generous. It might even be higher than some of the ridiculous games.

No matter how powerful you are in the game, it's all fake, but in this alternate world, your power is real!

With such low odds, and without spending any money, it's like farming artifacts in Genshin Impact. Wouldn't that be amazing?

It's just that I don't know how long it will take to run a dungeon once. The drop rate is quite high, so it probably won't be short.

My own katana, Murasame, is a rare piece of equipment, one of the rewards for marrying Goto Ichiri. It's more than enough to survive the early stages of the underworld. As for the skull crusher, it's only of excellent quality. I've been searching for three days and only managed to find two, even with good luck.

—This is even with Tsukikawa Shuu not having to fear most of the monsters in the city.

For those low-level players, let alone strolling around, they wouldn't even dare to go out, so where would they get any equipment to pick up? Moreover, items in this world don't regenerate. The equipment that Tsukikawa Shu obtained after three days of wandering around was entirely due to the benefits of pioneering the game. After a while, they probably won't even see a bone left.

Looking at the rewards, Tsukikawa Shu really wanted to go and farm the dungeon right away, but there were more important things to take care of right now.

"What a pity. I brought a lot of food with me. I came here to level up properly, but it turns out that finding food is my priority."

Tsukikawa Shuu searched the surrounding area for shelter where food might be hidden.

"This isn't your first time here?"

Wearing slippers, Hiratsuka Shizuka hugged her pajamas, trying not to reveal her private parts.

Having been unprepared, she was clearly unable to adapt to the situation here.

“This is the second time I’ve come in,” Tsukikawa Shuu said. “The first time I stayed here for three days.”

"Tsukikawa-kun, you've only been here for three days and you've already become so skilled?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was very surprised.

Judging from Tsukikawa Shu's relaxed and calm expression just now, one would believe that Hiratsuka Shizuka had been here for several years.

The current Tsukikawa Shuu is completely different from the lazy and carefree person she was at school. Instead, she is like a calm and cautious wolf searching for its prey.

She followed behind Tsukikawa Hiiragi and Goto Ichiri, constantly watching the messages in the system chat group.

The people inside were complaining incessantly. It wasn't just the newbies who were crying out; those who had been in there before were also wailing and begging for mercy.

As veteran players, many of them had prepared a lot of food and planned to find a place to hide and survive this period of time. However, they did not expect that all their equipment would be confiscated by the system as soon as they entered.

This mission is not one that can be overcome by simply enduring it.

At first, the chat group was relatively calm, with many people just feeling flustered and curious, and some even a little excited. But every hour thereafter, the atmosphere changed.

"Help! Does anyone have medicine? I've been bitten by a spider."

"Please, I can't walk anymore... Can anyone come and help me..."

"Please, I really can't hold on much longer."

Some people were already hurt at this point, and the forum would automatically delete useless messages, so they could only ask for help again and again in the chat group.

Based on the jumbled information, Hiratsuka Shizuka learned that the culprit was a giant spider that liked to hide in the shadows and attack players. It was a very dangerous and undetectable creature, and no one knew from which corner it would suddenly fly out and devour people.

However, less than five minutes later, the information for that ID could no longer be seen.

Moreover, such requests for help are not uncommon.

This time, everyone was forced to face those monsters and various dangers, and injury and death were inevitable.
