"I surrender, please don't kill me!"
Since the summoned person automatically learns the language of this world (but cannot read or write), everyone naturally understood his surrender declaration. After a brief silence, the scene erupted in laughter.
"Hahahaha... Are these the warriors of Earth? That's hilarious."
"I've heard that Earth has a large population, but if their soldiers are only this good, give me five thousand elite soldiers and I can sweep across a country."
"If you ask me, the people at the Magic Academy should really study how to build a permanent gateway to Earth. Our empire could just send a massive army to conquer the entire world, saving us the trouble of constantly summoning and consuming high-grade magic stones."
Hearing the arrogant contempt for Earth's military capabilities from the surrounding aristocratic youths, Dick remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but sneer. He thought to himself, "This world only managed to gain a small advantage over Earth, the technologically advanced side, through magic, and now you're all so arrogant, even harboring thoughts of actively invading Earth."
If there were a permanent gate between the two worlds, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council wouldn't even need to intervene on Earth. They could just pick one of the five permanent members from YouTube and beat them to a pulp.
Dick said nothing, but Prince Heinz shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Ignorance is bliss! Anyone who has even a slight understanding of the information brought by Earthlings or has carefully studied those exquisite industrial creations would not say such a thing."
"Judging from the prince's tone, he seems to know a lot about Earth?"
"It's just a glimpse into the whole picture. I learned that phrase from an Earthling. My mother once said that what we do to Earth is like a mosquito secretly sucking blood from a giant beast's blind spot. Only because the giant beast doesn't notice can we remain unharmed."
"Don't let anyone else hear you say that, or they'll be unhappy."
Prince Heinz shrugged, indicating that he understood the point. Like Dick, he hid behind the crowd, watching the others enthusiastically participating in the summoning, occasionally letting out cheers and laughter.
Dick rarely saw such a scene of people gathering to draw cards. All kinds of Earthlings walked out of the summoning circle one after another, including yellow, black, white and other colors, men and women, old and young.
The researchers from the Magic Academy would use a form to question each summoned Earthling, including their name, age, education, skills, and whether they had any illnesses or physical disabilities.
Under the constraints of slave contracts, they had no choice but to speak their minds.
Dick watched for a while and found that the people at the Magic Academy were quite picky. Education and skills were the two things they valued most. Anyone with an education below high school or who had never done technical work was rejected.
Even liberal arts and art students are looked down upon and treated like trash.
What! You're just a worthless online novel writer? Get lost, you useless piece of trash!
In short, these guys were very picky. They summoned more than fifty people at once, and they only picked one teacher who had taught chemistry at UC Berkeley High School. They didn't want any of the others.
Meanwhile, the young men who were responsible for contributing their "luck" focused more on the beautiful women on Earth.
One of them caused the biggest sensation; she was fair-skinned, beautiful, with a large bust, long legs, and a shapely bottom, but when she opened her mouth, she uttered a deep, masculine voice. This immediately turned many of the young masters who were cheering and jumping for joy into sullen faces, but a few became even more excited than before.
Dick's older brother, Reinhardt, also went up to try, but he was the unluckiest one. A disheveled vagrant emerged from the summoning circle, carrying a foul stench.
Dick hid in the back, silently acting as a human observer, watching the Earthlings who had been forcibly summoned, as well as the noble young masters.
It must be said that the summoning spell itself does have a "two-way" characteristic. Many Earthlings who were summoned actually breathed a sigh of relief as soon as they arrived. There were even a few young people who looked like they had chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), who were even more excited than the young master who summoned them when they heard that this was another world.
However, this excitement probably won't last long. Once they realize they've become slaves, many of them will be crying and begging to go home.
Dick was powerless to help these people who were about to face a tragic fate.
Two-thirds of the three hundred summoning slots were quickly used up, while there were only a little over a hundred guests present. The first round was over in no time. Some people were beaming with joy, obviously having summoned top-quality items, proving their excellent luck. Others were sullen, finding fault with the extra Earthlings around them.
After being "displayed" like animals in the lobby for a while, these Earthlings were taken away by waiters. They were searched, and then given time to wash and change.
At this moment, the Third Prince looked towards Dick and waved.
"Dick, why don't you give it a try?"
"I am deeply grateful for Your Highness's kindness, but there are only so many slots available for summoning. I am probably the youngest here, so I should let everyone else have some fun."
"Haha, no need to be so polite, come on, come on. Uncle, you don't need to be so reserved, join in the fun with everyone."
"I cannot refuse your kind offer, but I have no interest in taking Earthlings as slaves. So... I'll give this opportunity to Dick. Since you just said that you are the youngest here, it would be unreasonable for me, the most senior person here, not to take care of you."
Dick hadn't expected Prince Heinz to use his opportunity to his advantage, and the Third Prince's expression immediately turned somewhat awkward. But to be honest, Dick didn't want it.
However, he also realized that hiding was no longer an option. Not going would be tantamount to publicly rejecting the Third Prince's kindness, while accepting the Prince's kindness was also inappropriate.
Dick was somewhat frustrated. He had planned to return to the capital quickly and avoid any unnecessary trouble, but trouble came straight at him.
After thinking for a moment, Dick first bowed to Prince Heinz to express his gratitude for the gift, and then immediately gave the opportunity to his older brother Reinhard.
It was a public occasion, and he hadn't said he was breaking ties with his family. Performing a show of "brotherly affection" at this time would be beneficial for him.
Firstly, because he always draws two at a time, and both are anime girls, so drawing only once can be considered a "miracle," but drawing twice in a row would make people suspicious.
Secondly, it was to take care of his petty older brother, to subtly curry favor and avoid arousing his jealousy.
Reinhardt was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He had just been angry about losing face by drawing the homeless man's name, and suddenly he received care from his half-brother, which made Reinhardt feel very complicated.
Last year, when Reinhardt was framed, it was Dick who took the blame for him and preserved his reputation. However, the man was assassinated on his way to take office in Lagug.
Upon learning of this, Reinhard immediately considered one possibility and went directly to confront his mother. As he had guessed, the First Lady readily admitted it.
"Why, Mother? My fifth brother has helped me a great deal, and he's an illegitimate son. He poses no threat to me, the eldest son. Why are you..."
"Child, don't ask so many questions. Just know that I'm doing this for your own good!"
Reinhardt didn't understand why his mother was so determined to kill Dick, but ever since then, he had always felt a sense of guilt towards Dick. However, he dared not disobey his mother, so when his younger brother returned to the capital to report on his duties, he seemed to be distancing himself from her, but in reality, he was afraid to face her.
As a result, Dick acted as if he knew nothing about the assassination and continued to respect and love his older brother, unaware that this was all part of Dick's plan.
Chapter 104: Beauty Can Stir Hearts
Having lived cautiously in the Duke's mansion for eighteen years, Dick had long since figured out the nature of his brothers and sisters through observation and testing.
As the eldest son of the family, Reinhardt was influenced by his mother's rigorous, elite upbringing, which fostered a sensitive, jealous, and indecisive personality. While the other party has a tendency towards extremes, their youth prevents them from becoming truly evil to the core.
Dick had witnessed firsthand how the First Lady raised Reinhardt at home. That domineering woman instilled her own ideas into her son, constantly reminding him that he was the eldest son of the family and the first in line to the title of Duke of Best. Therefore, he had to be the best in every aspect, especially not to lose to his brothers and sisters, who were not relatives but competitors!
Dick knew very well what his older brother disliked most, so he gave him a draw.
Meanwhile, he was calculating in his mind what "conditions" to set for this summoning so that he could not reveal his own special characteristics, but also not waste this free opportunity.
First, you can't choose technical characters, or you'll be forcibly taken away by the Magic Academy. Second, the summoned object must be an ordinary Earthling, not a supernatural being like the Black and White Lancer Artoria or Kantai Collection characters.
So Dick thought of a seemingly ordinary group that, in the world of anime and manga, is the most talented group – high school girls.
Actually, junior high school students and elementary school students are also acceptable, and because they are younger, they are more likely to be overlooked by those in magic academies who prioritize academic qualifications when screening students. However, high school students are "safer".
After making up his mind, Dick pretended to be humble and let his older brother and the others go first, since he was the youngest here, he could leave it to draw last.
So the remaining dozens of draws were quickly used up, and Reinhardt seemed to have hit the pity system, using the draw that Dick gave him to summon a doctor in a white coat.
When the other person was summoned, it seemed that surgery was still in progress. There was a large patch of blood on his chest, and he was holding a scalpel in one hand and a hot kidney in the other.
As a skilled technical expert, the doctor was naturally the first to be recruited by the Magic Academy, but Reinhardt felt that he had regained his dignity and was no longer among the most unfortunate people.
And finally, it was Dick's turn to draw the last one. Many people around him were watching him. Some were simply curious about what level he would draw, while others were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Dick silently thought to himself, "Just give me a regular JK uniform," and walked to the magic circle to begin the summoning.
Amidst a burst of light, two figures gradually emerged.
Seeing that it was a rare "double yolk," everyone's interest was immediately piqued. However, considering that besides Dick, seven other people had summoned two people at once tonight, it wasn't too surprising.
However, when the light faded and two busty beauties appeared in the center of the magic circle, the young men were immediately thrown into a frenzy. The people from the Magic Academy, on the other hand, looked quite disappointed after seeing the two girls' clothing.
Damn it! They're just two girls who're still in junior or senior high school. Useless!
Since it was the last summoning of the night, and two female students who were clearly of little use had been summoned, the people from the Magic Academy left dejectedly, even skipping the routine questioning and body search.
They had already repeated the same steps 306 times, and they were all getting tired of it.
Meanwhile, the noble young men present were extremely excited, because anyone could see that these two girls were top-notch in both looks and figure, and none of the other women summoned tonight could compare to them.
Some people felt resentful out of jealousy, while others felt they had enough money to buy the two top-quality female slaves from Dick. Still others couldn't control their impulses and tried to touch the two girls, but were interrupted halfway by a loud cough from Prince Heinz.
"Ahem! You are all respectable people, so please don't lose face."
Upon hearing the prince's "reminder," those lust-driven men regained their composure and awkwardly retreated, but their gazes toward the beautiful girl remained burning.
Reinhardt was surprised by his fifth brother's good fortune. Although he didn't draw the top talent, he got two such beautiful and charming girls. Even he couldn't help but be tempted, and at the same time, he subconsciously felt a little jealous of Dick.
But when he thought about how his younger brother had just protected him and let him have a turn, coupled with the guilt he already felt, even if Reinhardt was petty, he couldn't bring himself to steal his brother's woman. Little did he know that this was exactly the effect Dick wanted.
At this moment, the two beautiful girls who had just been summoned were clearly still in a dazed state at the beginning of their transmigration. In addition, with so many strange men surrounding them, it was inevitable that they would feel fear and unease.
The girl with chestnut-brown medium-length hair was clearly frightened, clutching her handbag to her chest, while the other girl with medium-length hair and a single ponytail, with pink hair, was in a fighting stance, clearly a trained fighter.
But just as she was about to act, Dick rushed forward and used the power of the slave contract to command her not to make any rash moves. The pink-haired girl's movements froze, and then she lowered her hands.
"Yes."
The girl lowered her head slightly to Dick, then looked at her hands in confusion, and then at Dick in front of her, seemingly unable to understand why she was so obedient to this strange boy.
Dick secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he managed to stop it.
Dick recognized both of the two "high school girls" he summoned.
The chestnut-haired girl is from the manga "Monday Tawawa". She is the main heroine of the work, "Ai", who is the big-breasted high school girl who weighs five kilograms just from her breasts when she is weighed during a physical examination.
The pink-haired kung fu girl is Honoka from the game series "Dead or Alive". She is from the same world as the ninja trio under Dick's command. She is officially recognized as having the largest bust size, with a height of 1 meters but a bust size of 99 centimeters.
Of course! Given her popularity in the online 3D section, it's possible that she, like Hongye, came from some fan-made work.
Based on Bitkey's previous summons, both girls this time were very weak. Xiao Ai was simply an ordinary person with physical abilities below average.
Honoka does possess some fighting prowess. She is a martial arts prodigy within the Dead or Alive universe, capable of perfectly replicating any style of martial arts technique after just one viewing.
Incidentally, this character's father is Raido, the main villain of the Dead or Alive series. She is Ayane's half-sister, while Ayane and Kasumi are half-brothers. The relationship between these three is quite complicated.
Dick reassured the two women briefly, telling them to stay calm and not be afraid. Now that the person had been summoned, their task was to protect them and take them away.
However, looking at the menacing gazes around him, Dick knew that this would not be an easy task.
Sure enough! One of those clever little devils who likes to take advantage of others popped out and loudly "suggested" to Dick.
"Congratulations, Young Master Dick, you've summoned two beauties all at once. Since tonight's event is thanks to His Highness the Third Prince hosting, why don't you give one to him?"
As soon as he spoke, many of the young men around him chimed in. Some of them, seeing that Dick didn't immediately respond, began to speak sarcastically.
These people have a very simple idea: they can't stand seeing others do well!
The Third Prince was also quite tempted, because these two girls were truly beautiful. Their exquisite little faces were so tender that it seemed like you could pinch water out of them. They weren't tall (both were 1.5 meters), but they had great curves. He couldn't even imagine how wonderful it would be to hold them in bed.
So when some lackeys started urging Dick to send the girl away, he started to look forward to it.
But just then, a piercing sneer rang out, and Prince Heinz, whose status and position were beyond compare, spoke to the Third Prince in a mocking tone.
"Nephew, have you ever met someone who gives away a gift, then suddenly changes their mind and wants to return half of it?"
"..."
With just one sentence, Prince Heinz made the Third Prince's eager mouth unable to utter a word.
Although he was extremely displeased, it was indeed as the prince said: giving a gift and then asking for half back was really beneath him. Besides, Dick was a talent he wanted to win over; he was already busy giving him a few more women, so why would he ask for them back?
Having figured this out, the Third Prince secretly thought how close he had come to disaster; he had almost let his subconscious lust cloud his judgment and caused him to lose more than he gained. He couldn't have either of these women, not even if Dick offered them to him. Especially now, with people egging him on, he should firmly refuse, otherwise it would inevitably create resentment.
So the Third Prince coughed lightly, signaling the few who were making a fuss to be quiet, and then made a public statement in a pretentious manner.
"I said from the beginning that I'm treating everyone today. Dick, you're lucky. These two beauties are truly top-notch. After you receive your investiture tomorrow, you'll be an earl. You'll need servants who are worthy of your noble status."
"Then I thank Your Highness for your kindness."
After Dick finished speaking, he gestured to Rita to take care of the two new companions and take them away from here first. They could ask them questions slowly after the banquet ended and they returned to the hotel.
Many of the young masters present watched enviously as the two beautiful girls left the hall, filled with jealousy and resentment towards Dick. Even the Third Prince couldn't help but glance outside. These two beauties were indeed so stunning that they made people's hearts itch, but they could only restrain themselves for now.
Chapter 105: Father and Son
A banquet of the highest physical standards, where guests and hosts were all in high spirits at the end... just kidding!
Dick didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got into the carriage and left the Rose Garden. He then unbuttoned the top two buttons of his coat and stretched his neck, which had been constricted by the dress for almost six hours.
He raised his hand and released a soundproof barrier, then turned to Rita, who was removing her disguise, and said something.
"Rita, how long do you think the Empire can hold out in its current state?"
"I can't say for sure. The size of the empire is what it is. Even if it's completely rotten from top to bottom, it can still hold on for a long time, unless..."
"Unless someone throws a firecracker into this gleaming septic tank, right?"
