The latter looked at the chat group in confusion, only to find that on the eve of his departure, Bruce had actually sent him several red envelopes, noting that they were for him to collect.
Hikigaya Hachiman clicked on one of them at random, and a large pile of gold suddenly fell into the reality and piled up on the ground.
Bruce smiled shyly: "I'm afraid the money I brought with me is too little and not enough."
This is what rich people do. They just carry gold without thinking and don’t have to worry about whether it will be robbed.
Hikigaya Hachiman sighed: "Let me help you get it."
"Good boy!"
Bruce, feeling extremely relieved, whipped out his cell phone and hacked into the systems and satellites of this world on the spot. He was not discovered by any electronic system here, and was the first to randomly select the houses for sale that met his needs.
"Not far from here, there's an entire factory site for sale. A little further away, there are several houses for sale with beautifully decorated interiors that are ready for immediate move-in. Let's go there."
Bruce made the decision swiftly. Not only did he book the place where he would live in the future, he also booked several other houses online in one go. Each person in the chat group got a room, and they were directly put under their name.
Hikigaya Hachiman opened his mouth in amazement.
Although he had even read Star Wars, his family had been quite ordinary since he was a child, and he didn't have much pocket money, so he could only buy a few light novels.
Even after the curse incident, when he was brought to the other world by Gojo Satoru, he asked Uncle Gojo how profitable it was to be a sorcerer. The answer he got made him despair. It felt that except for the special-grade sorcerers, the sorcerers below were not very wealthy either.
And now, Bruce is so relaxed, with a house to himself, in Tokyo where every inch of land is worth a fortune, and a luxuriously sized and lavishly decorated one?!
You know, before he got the chat group, his biggest dream was to be a househusband.
I never expected that I would be so lucky this year. After joining the chat group, not only did I fulfill my spiritual dream of seeing Ultraman with my own eyes, but my material dream was also unexpectedly fulfilled.
Hikigaya Hachiman actually took a deep breath: "No, you don't even bargain, Uncle Bruce?"
"bargain?"
Bruce tilted his head and shrugged innocently. "If I had the time to haggle, the revenue growth of my companies would be enough to buy three hundred houses like this."
"Let's go."
Kasa shook his head and casually helped lift two bags of gold so heavy that even Bruce gasped slightly. He deliberately avoided Bruce's bags containing secret armor and special technological products, and said without getting involved in the topic of wealth, "Since we have already decided on a place, let's not waste Bruce's kindness. Accept this kindness."
Kasar naturally does not recommend getting something for nothing, but the three high school students have already proved their innocence, and it is unlikely that they will be corrupted by money under his care. In this case, if Bruce wants to give it to them, then let him do it. Bruce really doesn't care about this little money anyway.
"Eh? Oh, okay, since you said so..."
Hikigaya Hachiman followed with the gold in his arms.
Looking at Casa who obviously saw through his secret but did not expose it, Bruce also remained silent about it. He just called a car and went straight to his new home.
Along the way, Bruce was scanning this world that seemed similar to his own but was completely different, searching for information from all aspects.
At the same time, he was multitasking. After a moment's silence, he asked, "Tell me more about the world of spells, the extraordinary, and so on. I'm very interested!"

Chapter 97 The mastermind behind the worldview of spells.
"According to Uncle Gojo, the official authorities of various countries in our world are generally unaware of the existence of the Jujutsu World. However, not everyone is unaware of it; there are still a very small number of people who know about it."
"So where does the money for the sorcerers' salaries come from? I think it's probably not all from the government. The government's share is probably less than a tenth, maybe even less than a tenth, right?"
"That's why sorcerers, despite risking their lives, seem to only get paid the very least, except for the special grade."
The reason why special-grade sorcerers have so much wealth is probably because their strength has reached a level where they can almost ignore the rules of the light world and the dark world, so the top leaders have to appease them with money.
At this moment, in the villa, after finishing the big meal sent by Bruce, Hikigaya Hachi told about the situation on his side.
Bruce frowned at this: "This won't work. It's too unstable."
Although Batman also has no salary, and even if he is not the young master of the Wayne family and does not have such a huge financial backing, he can still guarantee that he will become Batman.
But being a vigilante against humans and being a vigilante against species other than humans are actually two completely different concepts.
In modern times, if a human being goes out to do justice and act as a masked vigilante because he has the ability, in this case, he is actually disrupting the operation of part of society, and no one, whether official or private, owes him anything.
Because no matter how much harm they cause to others, those guys who are dealt with by Batman are still [human beings]. No matter how big the conflicts between people are, there is a limit, that is, no one is the public enemy of everyone.
Moreover, conflicts between people are already governed by official procedures such as society and law. Although such things often become unreliable, we cannot say that only Batman is meaningful and that people owe Batman. This is not the case.
But it’s different for enemies other than humans.
Cursed spirits naturally repel humans and will kill them. Everyone may become a victim in the next second. In the face of this life-and-death racial struggle, sorcerers naturally have the identity of human saviors.
It can be said that in essence, they are police and army specifically targeting cursed spirits.
But think about the treatment and social status of those people, and then look at the treatment and social status of sorcerers?
According to Hikigaya Hachiman's retelling of Gojo Satoru's words, regardless of ancient times, at least in modern times, the status of a sorcerer is very delicate, and in any case, it has nothing to do with being respected.
In this situation, it is a miracle that the world of sorcery has been able to operate for so many years in modern times without any large-scale rebellion against humans by sorcerers.
If the people of Gotham... no, there is no need for Gotham. Even if the citizens of the metropolis with the highest per capita quality in their own world were moved here and asked to be sorcerers, there would definitely be chaos.
Volunteers are certainly worthy of respect, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are more important guarantees. Otherwise, how can we guarantee that so many sorcerers can willingly risk their lives day and night to protect people?
"Shocking."
Bruce shook his head and sighed. Although he couldn't clean up Gotham, the hell on earth, his vision was still good. He could tell at a glance that the world of curse was too distorted.
He thought for a moment and asked Hikigaya Hachiman, "If I disguise myself as a wild sorcerer, can you take me to see Gojo Satoru?"
"I have no problem, but..."
Hikigaya Hachiman paused. "There's a barrier at the Jujutsu High School. If I don't have cursed energy, I wonder if I can get in successfully?"
“That’s no problem.”
Kasa said at the right moment, "I can simulate the energy in you, and then I can give Bruce a shell as well."
Bruce knew it was a done deal when he heard him speak. Following the topic, he curiously asked, "Speaking of which, won't you leak information to the sorcerer? According to the TV show, whether it's an alien or a psychic, they can easily see through Ultraman's human form, right? So the sorcerer is also a psychic, right?"
"Don't worry about that."
Kasa shook his head. "For a warrior like Mebius who has just debuted and is not familiar with the world, everyone will see through his identity immediately. But after he goes out on more missions and becomes familiar with the world, it will be difficult for him to hide if he really wants to."
"What about the first generation? The Ultra Brothers were already mature warriors when they were on Earth, right?"
Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hand, eager to try.
There is no problem here. He definitely cannot be the human body of Ultraman, but with an Ultra Warrior by his side, who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to ask something about Ultraman?
"Being stationed on Earth is not a covert mission. There's no need to hide your identity."
For questions that didn't involve secrets, Kasa immediately transformed into a star who could answer any question. "Being as open and honest as the first generation was actually a deliberate attempt to attract the aliens on Earth."
"The first generation didn't disguise themselves. If there were aliens in distress, they would be able to see them immediately and find them quickly to seek help. This was intentional."
Hikigaya Hachiman subconsciously wanted to ask, if they do this, the evil aliens will also see through their identities and plot against them. Hasn't the Land of Light thought about this disadvantage?
But immediately, he suddenly realized it.
This is certainly a disadvantage, but as long as it can attract one more innocent alien in distress to seek help and help one more poor person, the Ultra Warriors will be happy to endure this disadvantage.
Bruce was not shocked by Kasar's frankness. As the fear in the night and as Batman, who is completely opposite to the Giant of Light, he had already thought about the logic of the actions of the Kingdom of Light and Ultraman through his own IQ and logic. Now he just got the confirmation from their own mouth, which was not surprising.
Rather than that, he wanted to hear Kasa talk about the structure of the curse spirit: "Speaking of which, what is the energy of the sorcerer?"
As Bruce spoke, he gracefully took out his homemade testing equipment and said to Hikigaya Hachiman, "Release the energy. I'll collect some data."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Hikigaya Hachiman did as he was told.
After all, we are group friends.
It's just collecting some data, nothing wrong with that.
It was because he had understood his mentality that Bruce became so frank for the first time and directly explained what he was going to do in advance.
No one in Gotham could enjoy this kind of treatment, even Alfred, most of the time he had to wait until after the fact to get his explanation.
Kasa glanced at Bruce and watched him collect the data of Hikigaya Hachiman. Without hesitation, he manually released the light energy and gave Bruce his own data.
He could roughly guess what Bruce wanted to do, but as long as it wasn't to create some artificial Ultraman, everything would be fine.
While giving Bruce the data, Kasa also analyzed:
"The sorcerer's energy... seems to be a balanced product, with both positive and negative aspects, light and dark, but overall it seems that dark energy dominates. If this kind of energy is used too much, I suspect it could affect a person's emotions and state of mind to a certain extent."
"Eh?"
Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned. "Isn't my potential developed from your crystal? Shouldn't it be all light energy? If so, will I become evil in the future?"
"Don't worry, it's because of my power that you are a special case. You are the only sorcerer who is absolutely dominated by positive energy."
Kasa soothed.
On the road today, he had sensed several different sorcerers and cursed spirits and experienced the energy formation among them, so he could make a basic assessment of the extraordinary power here.
"Although the origins of cursed power and cursed spirits are still unclear, I speculate that the ancestors of all humans on this Earth, at some point in their lives, have been cleansed by that source, thus establishing this foundation. As soon as a supernatural power is acquired, even if it's not cursed power, it will quickly transform into something closest to it."
"This is a foundation rooted in genes and bloodline."
Is this true for all humans on the planet?
Kasa's words were shocking, and Bruce immediately understood what he meant when he heard it. Although the performance of the sorcerer and the cursed spirit was just so-so, their origin was probably not bad either.
At least it's not bad for him.
In his own world, while traveling around the world, and during the years when he was chosen by Lei Xiaogu to become his disciple, Bruce had not really encountered any extraordinary people.
Later, he found an ancient book of an unknown wizard in Gotham. A lot of the content on it had turned to ashes, but there was still a passage that left a deep impression on him.
The gist of those words was that most of the supernatural powers in the world already had owners, or the source of that power had not yet died, and one had to be extremely cautious when coming into contact with powers beyond human power. Many times, the so-called supernatural powers were merely borrowed.
Considering that Lei Xiaogu has lived for at least seven hundred years but still has only a little insignificant supernatural power, and mainly relies on his own skills and experience, the credibility of this statement is obviously very reliable.
Otherwise, with Lei Xiaogu's determination, he would have pursued it long ago if he had the power to pursue it.
Bruce never thought about pursuing extraordinary powers, but that was before he got the chat group and before Cassar pointed out that there were huge problems in his world.
Now, in order to take the initiative to prevent future terrible enemies, he decided to do two things at once, working on technology and pursuing the extraordinary.
Since the extraordinary power in his own world cannot be grasped and there are too many dark secrets, then he will go to Hikigaya Hachiman to have a look. Even if the power of the sorcerer may be insignificant to the mastermind on his side, as long as it can give him a little more chance of winning, he will try to get it.
At least, according to the reversal technique that Hikigaya Hachiman mentioned, a sorcerer is obviously more likely to survive an attack than an ordinary person.
As long as you avoid the first kill, many things will be easy.
"So, does the Spellcaster's ability have risks other than disturbing emotions?"
Bruce asked on the spot.
Interference with emotions is nothing, he can withstand it, but he is afraid that the sorcerer's power is the same as his own extraordinary power, which has a master. The source of the magic power is still there, then it will become an unstable bomb, which is not worth it at all.
"Hard to say."
Kasa shook his head. "Wait for me to observe for a while. Then I'll look for the source and see what it is. If he's still alive, I'll go talk to him."
"Why do I feel like I'm just at level one and I'm skipping the upgrade sequence and flying straight to the final boss? No, it feels like I'm flying straight to the world view background board..."
Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain.
Generally speaking, the source of abilities and the decryption of the world view are all extremely shocking. In Jump's hot-blooded comics, even if the comics are finished, the protagonists may not be able to glimpse secrets of this level.
As a result, he had just stepped into the world of sorcery, but Uncle Kasa easily saw through the situation at a glance, and casually said that he wanted to find out the source and even have a chat with him.
The source of cursed spirits and cursed power, as well as their essence, are inside stories that even the strongest five uncles in modern times do not know.
What might have been a passionate and cruel world suddenly turned into a world where all you had to do was wait for the boss to lead you.
"Ultra Warriors and the like, that's really cheating!"
"Cheating? Well, for this world, maybe."
Kasa thought for a moment and smiled. "However, it is precisely because of this wish to be able to cheat and redeem myself in the face of all tragedy and darkness that I have the power I have now."
"As long as you have this intention, you also have the opportunity to become a cheater, Hachiman."
What was your first feeling about living with Ultraman?
Uh... you will be unexpectedly fed a big mouthful of chicken soup anytime and anywhere, and get 1000% emotional affirmation?
However, the chicken soup that comes out of Uncle Kasa's mouth is really not offensive at all.
"Speaking of which, are you planning to further your studies in the world of spellcasting and become a spellcaster?"
While adjusting the data, Bruce asked, "Are you going to school in the world of spells?"
