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

But at this moment, the forum became lively again.

"Quick, check the forum! That guy who's been collecting wives has actually updated his post!"

"Damn it! Where did this guy get so much good equipment?"

"So much equipment, so much good equipment, is the drop rate in dungeons really that high?!"

"This is the tool he uses to amass wives! This guy must be using even more advanced weapons and equipment. Waaah, I'm so envious!"

"No way... He's already listed two rare-level weapons. Could it be that he's already using epic-level items himself?"

……

The number of comments under the forum posts also increased significantly.

"My god, so many excellent weapons, and even rare ones! Did this bastard rob a weapons shop?!"

"This beast transformation skill card is really amazing... With this self-healing ability, why would I be cowering in my room starving? I'll just go out and fight those monsters!"

"Pro card, oh pro card... You have no idea how miserable I've been because I haven't been able to get a pro card. I have the skills but I can't use them."

"Excellent weapon! Excellent weapon! I want an excellent weapon! You have so many weapons, please give me one!"

Besides a group of people who were envious and jealous, some people also started asking about the topic of the post.

"Speaking of which... has any beautiful woman caught the eye of this Tsukikawa Shu? I'm begging to be his leg..."

"Yes, those who are chosen shouldn't hide anymore. Just say it outright. I have enough money to make a deal with you."

"Sigh, I tried talking to him privately, but he didn't agree..."

……

The chat channel was buzzing with excitement as everyone saw the update from Tsukikawa Shuu.

And in the city center.

The students from the private Shuji Academy remained in place, browsing the system chat room and seeing the newly updated post.

They were among the luckier ones, at least they weren't targeted or found by the player hunters.

Although Kawakita is a despicable character this month, and he's doing something like "acquiring many wives," which is obviously not a good thing, you have to admit that this guy is really capable.

In particular, the selfie he took in front of the dungeon's stone gate proved that he had indeed opened the dungeon and easily cleared it.

What remained constant was the pervasive sense of loss that enveloped everyone from beginning to end, gradually turning into despair.

(First update!)

Chapter 33 (Second Update)

They had been in this other world for three days, and had only gone out to gather food once at the very beginning. It was during this trip that a male student was attacked by a highly venomous spider and collapsed.

A group of students who had never experienced hardship hurriedly tried to give the other person a rough bandage, but it was to no avail, and the male student became the first victim.

The body is still lying in the corner, and no one dares to go near it.

From then on, no one dared to leave the spot.

"Goo~"

Fujiwara Chika's stomach rumbled again.

She curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees, her stomach growling for what felt like the hundredth time.

Even the usually optimistic and cheerful Fujiwara Chika couldn't withstand the physical onslaught.

"According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it seems that we still need to fill our stomachs... Spiritual nourishment can't solve everything."

She sighed; she no longer had the energy to be as lively as before.

I had heard some people from lower social classes use the term "pie in the sky" before. Although I understood what it meant, Fujiwara Chika didn't really care and just laughed it off.

Only now has she finally understood the true meaning of this word, and its utterly useless consequences.

Food was limited; each person could only receive half a small can of food per day, which was far from enough for the day's consumption.

To conserve energy, most people chose to sleep all day.

I just can't fall asleep most of the time now.

In the past, when everyone had a mobile phone, they would use it to pass the time. Now that the phone is out of power and there is no internet, people start browsing the system chat rooms and forums.

"Kawaki... is really that amazing this month..." Tanuma Tsubasa, who was also browsing the forum, couldn't help but exclaim.

Looking at Tsukikawa Shu's photos, he's about the same age as me, so why is there such a big difference between us?

Perhaps he was just lucky? Or was it that he dared to risk stepping out and fight those monsters? Tanuma Tsubasa felt a little envious and jealous, but couldn't figure it out.

"How about... one of you agrees to help this guy?"

At this moment, a boy wearing glasses spoke up weakly, "Look, he's not bad-looking, and he's so strong. He should be considered one of the strongest in this world. It's definitely worth it to form a contract with him..."

However, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"What's so good about him! How can we, the students of Shuchiin, submit to a guy like this?" Kashiwagi Nagisa stood up, glaring fiercely at the frail-looking boy.

Kashiwagi Nagisa has short hair and usually acts rather wildly, which immediately intimidated the other party.

"I... I was just trying to be helpful," the frail-looking male student said. "Things from the inner world will eventually seep back into the original world. Think about it, isn't it a good thing to establish a relationship with a powerful person now?"

However, his rebuttal was quickly met with fierce criticism from a group of girls.

"How could you say such a thing? How could we possibly submit to such lowly people!"

"Exactly! Have you even considered how we feel?!"

"If I actually married a guy like that, I'd be kicked out immediately. I might as well just kill myself!"

"I'd rather starve to death than marry someone like that!"

……

The timid boy dared not speak.

This is a choice a person makes in the face of survival and dignity, but clearly, his choice is not recognized by others; on the contrary, it is met with contempt.

But at this moment, some people couldn't sit still any longer.

"Aaaaaah! I want to eat! I want to eat! I can't take it anymore!"

"Anything is fine, I want to eat! I want to eat!"

Futaba Satoru, who was obese and had a large appetite, lay on the ground, completely devastated.

"Anything is fine, just give me the thing right now!"

Futaba Satoru got up and then pounced on Tanuma Tsubasa, who was in charge of the food.

"What are you doing! This food is enough for the next two days!" Tanuma Tsubasa said, holding onto the few remaining cans of food as she resisted the onslaught of Futa Satoru's obese body.

However, he was smaller than his opponent and was quickly pinned down.

"Satoshi Nita, let him go!" Nagisa Kashiwagi, Tsubasa Tanuma's lover, also rushed over, trying to pull Satoshi Nita away.

"You filthy bitch who can't even get food, get out of here!"

Futaba Satoru raised his fat arm and slapped Kashiwagi Nagisa hard across the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Hold him!"

"Don't let him steal the food!"

Despite their physical weakness, the other two boys in the team rushed over and, together with Tsubasa Tanuma, managed to subdue the fat man.

However, he still managed to grab a can of food, opened it, and gulped down the contents, swallowing the whole can in less than ten seconds.

After all that fuss, everyone had wasted their energy.

Futada Goichi had something to fill his stomach, and although he was still very hungry, at least he was a little quieter.

The atmosphere within this small group became extremely tense.

……

(Second update! Please give me a reward and votes!)

Chapter 34 There's an old Chinese saying! (Third update)

Tsubasa Tanuma hid the last can of food and massaged his girlfriend Nagisa Tomari's swollen cheek.

Nagisa Tomari glared resentfully at Satoru Futa sitting on the other side.

Not only that, all the girls started looking at Futada Goichi with hostility.

Because Futaba Goichi had previously said that they were worthless bitches who couldn't even be traded for food.

These girls all come from wealthy and noble families, so how could they possibly submit to a guy whose name they've never even heard of?

On the other hand, Futaba Goichi was indifferent to this, or rather, he didn't care about these things at all when it came to survival.

He was sitting in the corner, picking out bits of meat stuck between his teeth and eating them, not even bothering to maintain the image of a nobleman.

This is only the third day since we entered the inner world.
