Fighting you is like being in jail.

"Holy crap! Counterfeit money!?"

He picked up the uncut counterfeit bill, a sight that would shock his mother for a hundred years. As he ran his fingers across the paper, the familiar feel confirmed that the money was as real as could be.

"Hehehehe! The texture, the feel, the smell of the ink—it can't be wrong! It's a counterfeit bill with a soul!"

Leng Chang picked up a thick wad of money and started counting it quickly, his mouth watering.

The movements were incredibly practiced, even expert, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he'd done it.

"No! What do you guys do?! How could you make something like this so easily?!"

Hachiman stared in horror, his eyes wide. Even though he was determined to use any means necessary, he had never considered such a method; it was truly shocking.

"Huh? Didn't we say that?" Leng Chang turned his head in confusion, looking a little puzzled.

“They definitely didn’t say that.” Kitahara Iori pinched her chin and recalled for a moment, then frowned in certainty.

"In that case... Hachiman, you know about the Heat Anomaly, right?"

"Yes, the 'Heat Anomaly' is practically common knowledge among the Japanese." Hachiman nodded affirmatively, a hint of astonishment in his eyes. "Could it be!?"

"That's right! I am the BOSS of Thermal Alien! The others are also considered executives of Thermal Alien, but they don't use this identity much, only when it's convenient."

Leng Chang explained it casually, not caring about his identity at all.

"What?! I'm joining you now...!"

"That's right! You can be an officer too, if you want to. But that's not our main job; our main job is to save the world."

"what?"

"You know what happened before, right? There are a lot of dump trucks like these in various worlds. Our mission is to eliminate these things that are threatening the world."

"Hiss! I see... Then what about the thermal anomalies? Everyone's saving the world, so why create gangs?"

"Hachiman, you need to know that the world is not that simple."

"so?"

"Saving the world doesn't include food and lodging!"

"?"

"Damn it, they want us to save the world but don't provide food and lodging. How are we supposed to cover our daily expenses? We have tons of superpowers, but you can't eat superpowers!"

“…”

"Humans need to eat to live! This is an eternal truth. For human beings, eating is not only a basic necessity for survival, but also a great enjoyment. So, we can't possibly work and save the world at the same time, can we?"

What you said makes a lot of sense...

Hachiman's lips twitched, and he felt a bit dazed. He stood there dumbfounded, motionless.

It was such a noble cause, but suddenly it was made to struggle inexplicably by the most practical problems.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. I'm already saving the world, so how can I go to work? If I go to work, wouldn't the world be beyond saving?

In an instant, Hachiman was caught in a dilemma between saving the world and finding food and shelter.

In his mind, saving the world meant he wouldn't care about food and lodging. But reality slapped him hard in the face: how could he save the world if he didn't eat?

Indeed, without some skill, there's no way you'd have time to save the world.

"Wait a minute! But what does this have to do with counterfeiting? You almost got me on the wrong track!"

Suddenly snapping out of his daze, Hikigaya jumped up and stood up straight, launching into a frantic rant.

"What?! You actually realized that?! Damn it, doesn't that make all my talking seem useless?!" Leng Chang stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at him in disbelief.

“…”

It turns out you've been lying all along!

Hachiman's lips pursed in silence, he seemed to want to speak but hesitated, then hesitated again but wanted to speak, and finally gave up on speaking.

Leng Chang walked up with a grin, patted Hachiman on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Just tell me if you need it or not."

"use!"

"That's more like it. Hehehehe!"

“…”

No wonder he's a gangster boss, he's terrifying!

Hikigaya looked at Leng Chang with a look of defeat; Leng Chang was a man he could never defeat in his entire life.

But it doesn't matter!

With this money, things will be much easier to do!

Next comes the time for the small workshops to divide the spoils; one night's output is enough to give everyone start-up capital.

After dividing up the world's money, everyone sat in the conference room of the presidential suite and began to seriously discuss their next move.

Leng Chang turned his gaze to Hachiman and said seriously:

"Hachiman, what are your plans for the future?"

“My idea is simple: set up a farm for the children to run, and I will sell the eggs. After all, the children are not well-liked by the people here, and only an outsider like me can get involved. As for the egg shortage, I will create it myself by releasing bird flu or having the children attack the farm.”

Hachiman's plan is simple and effective. Once it's implemented, there won't be many worries. Even if the situation is known and there's a united boycott, the shortage of eggs will still exist.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shizuka Heike gasped, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Hachiman.

"Hachiman, I don't remember the teacher teaching you to be like this..."

"There's no other way, Ms. Jing."

"Sigh... I just can't bear to see you go down this path."

Shizuka looked at Hikigaya with mixed feelings, mostly the expectations a teacher has for a student, but the current situation made her feel complicated.

“It’s alright. In this world, I can rot, I can be evil, but I know very well that I am not truly a person of this world. When I go back, I will still be my teacher’s good student.” Hikigaya looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with unwavering determination, filled with resolve.

"That's good, you're truly a student of your teacher. If anything happens, just come to your teacher!" Shizuka Heike smiled and said nothing more.

Hachiman continued, "Unfortunately, capital has set up a trap, and I can't even take the first step now. Although eggs are readily available in supermarkets, the eggs that can be hatched and the live chickens are completely controlled by capital."

Everyone immediately understood the situation and nodded thoughtfully.

Unlike other worlds where internal controls allow for smuggling to other countries, this world is heavily controlled, making smuggling difficult.

Outside of the city limits, where everything is safe, once you leave the city, there are Gastrea monsters everywhere, and it's hard to say whether you can survive, let alone smuggle.

Moreover, other urban clusters are probably the same.

"I have to say... it's truly a living hell."

"It is indeed a bit difficult for outsiders."

"The only way is to find an insider to bring it in, but wouldn't everyone else want that too? So... tsk tsk tsk."

After a moment of reflection, Leng Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said mercilessly:

"Well, whatever. This is very simple for us. We, the Hot Ones, started out as professional smugglers. Cross-border smuggling is still smuggling, hehehehe!"

He then added, "Now that the farm problem is solved, let's talk about how to take revenge on the people of this world."

"How do I do it? I'm ready to go all out!" Kaname Madoka poked her head out, her eyes wide, filled with the ambition to take down the whole world.

Leng Chang gave a merciless, crooked smile. "Killing them is far too lenient. I want to make them wish they were dead! I want them to regret ever being born!"

"How do we do it?" Homura Akemi raised an eyebrow, without any psychological burden.

"I want to make sure everyone is starving and cold, and even seal off their toilets with cement! Since they have a monopoly on everything, this is a piece of cake."

A fierce glint flashed in Leng Chang's eyes, and he tapped the table with his finger in a wicked manner, coldly saying:

"I'll use Hachiman's method, but not just eggs. I'll monopolize everything, then cut everything off! I'll dig a river around the city and watch the enemy flow down from upstream. Hehehehehe!"

"Hmm... I wanted to curse you out, but after thinking about it, the other side is even more despicable than you, so I'll refrain from doing so."

Homura Akemi hesitated, then stopped, then seemed to want to speak again, finally sighing and shaking her head.

"I have to say, we need more tsunamis! Only in this way can we vent our anger!" Hiratsuka Shizuka said through gritted teeth, fully agreeing with Leng Chang's approach.

At this moment, Leng Chang raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "After I cut them down, I can blow up their septic tanks! My goal is to have a mountain of shit everywhere! Then there will be shit everywhere, and there won't even be a place to step! I'll even seal every single toilet with cement!!"

"No food, no clothes, and excrement everywhere!"

"Hehe! Isn't there plenty of food? It's right on the ground."

"..."

"..."

"..."

In an instant, apart from Leng Chang, Kitahara Iori, and Sato Kazuma, everyone else felt a chill run down their spines and their minds were filled with filth.

If this were to actually happen, the scene would be too gruesome; just looking at it would make me want to vomit.

It must be said that Leng Chang was stronger in terms of the degree of convulsion. He was just convulsing, but his crime did not warrant death.

Leng Chang smiled smugly, his eyes gleaming, and turned to look at Hachiman, saying loudly:

"Go! Let's get started! Hachiman, you now have the resources of the entire world supporting you. Go for it! Young man, this world needs your salvation!"

Hikigaya wanted to be moved, but even though it was such a touching thing, he couldn't feel moved when he thought of that scene.

"Promise me you'll tell me before you blow up the septic tank, I'm scared!"

He looked at Leng Chang with trepidation, wondering why Leng Chang was actually capable of such a thing...

A wave of people are transported back to the Middle Ages, where excrement and urine are everywhere.

Stop! My brain can't take this anymore!

"However, before that... we need to establish a safe zone outside the city, which is almost as difficult as rebuilding a city... Is it really possible to do that?"

"And the gastroenteritis in the children..."

Hachiman thought of the final question and subconsciously brought it up, but then remembered that the people present probably didn't have the ability to answer it, so he shut up.

I'm just really unwilling to accept it...

Leng Chang calmly replied, "It's not a big problem. I believe it can be dealt with quickly. Putting aside everything else, our medical level is second to none."

Heh heh heh heh! After all, that's the One God who modifies the rules. He can change the rules of ghouls so easily and discreetly. What level is Gastrea? How dare he compare it to the genetic sequence issues of ghouls?

Hikigaya was immediately startled, his eyes widened as he looked up at Leng Chang, his face full of surprise.

"Really!"

"Really, we can even save the world, so don't worry about that," Madoka Kaname said with a confident nod.

"Great! In this way... the future belongs to the children!" Hachiman was excited. Once this problem was solved, nothing else mattered.

At this moment, Leng Chang's eyes flashed with a sly light, and he said evilly, "What do you think would happen if we created a virus that could turn eyes red and released it all over the world? Hehehehehe!"

"Holy crap! Shrimp and pig's heart?" Hiratsuka Shizuka stared wide-eyed in shock.

"How...how terrifying!"

"Quack! I want to see this! I want to see this!"

"Don't they distinguish each other by eye color? They're all red, come and see how they tell each other apart!"

"Hehehehehe! As expected of Leng Chang, he's too strong! He easily thought of things we couldn't even imagine!"

In an instant, everyone's face broke into an evil smile, even the still shocked Hiratsuka Shizuka showed an expectant smile.

Only Hikigaya, who had just joined, felt out of place, especially when he looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Teacher Jing, you were just telling me to be a good person... Look at you now!

Oh well, they deserved it.

Chapter 189 I'm going to buy a cane so she'll pledge her allegiance to me!

Once everything was settled, Hikigaya began his next move. At this stage, he didn't know where the children outside the city were, so he needed to contact Enju Aihara.

After all, Aihara Enju also came from the children's hideout outside the city.
