With ten colorful talismans in his pocket, Luo Jie returned to the dormitory of the "Private Eight Optical Gardens" with complicated feelings.

He never expected that the real difficulty of this mission was actually in a most unexpected thing.

- Money.

It's easy to get points or something, even if you only rely on your previous savings, you can last for a while, but it's the mainstream currency of the world that stumped him.

The initial capital given by the system is 300,000 yen, and according to the previous price of [Demon Guardian], it is only enough to buy 60 of these one-time amulets.

Sounds like a lot, but maybe it's more than enough for the world in one go.

But who can guarantee that the frequency of the inner world will appear once a month?

If the inner world appears twice a month, or even more than twice, will the 60 one-time amulets really last to the end?

After having dinner in the school cafeteria, I borrowed the computer in the reading room and logged in to the chat room that the players had agreed on in advance.

"It's not the way to go on like this! A C-white quality amulet costs 5,000 yen, and a C-green quality evil-breaking broom costs 40,000 yen. ”

"Huh? What is the Evil Breaking Broom? Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes, there is an old-looking grocery store near Tong Shou Elementary School, and the operator is an old woman, who is also a psychic person, and in the original book, she used a broom to drive away the fox spirit ...... attached to elementary school students."

"Isn't there any other decent equipment?"

"Yes, I spent an afternoon investigating, most of the shrines and temples here are genuine, but the price is very expensive, the specific price can be pushed up with reference to the [Evil Breaking Broom]."

"Or ...... Shall we vote for it? ”

"What? Like Fast & Furious 5? ”

"No kidding, do you think we're still the same Superman? It is estimated that we have the highest physique here to the player, and the current basic physique is only 600, and even a small-caliber rifle can't prevent it, you actually told me to rob a bank? ”

"Of course it's not a bank robbery, I mean black eats black...... I've heard that there are quite a lot of B societies in this country. ”

"I'm afraid your idea won't work here, the country is a very special place, here Society B is a registered legal organization, if they are in a hurry, they will call the police."

“…… Well, when I didn't say. ”

"I have [Niang Drowning Spring Medicinal Powder] here, do you want it?"

"Upstairs, why are you selling this?"

"Don't you know that the most lucrative part-time job in the Wa Kingdom is the custom industry?"

"Get out! Lao Tzu also has [Duck Drowning Spring Powder]! ”

"Well, I'm afraid that duck can't do it......"

"Don't talk nonsense, talk as if you can open the storage space."

Seeing that the topics in the chat room began to develop in the direction of nonsense, Luo Jie knew that he could not get any useful information, turned off the computer and left the reading room.

As can be seen from the previous dialogue, players are now divided into two factions regarding how to make money - one is the law-abiding group and the other is the illegal group.

But whether it is a safe law-abiding group or a radical illegal group, they ignore a very important issue.

Time.

That's right, now that there are only a little more than six days left before the arrival of the first world, no matter what means are used, it will be difficult to get a large sum of money enough to reverse the current unfavorable situation.

It seems that the only last resort is to be used.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Luo Jie locked the door, took out the chalk that he had casually picked up in the reading room, knelt on the ground and began to write and draw.

Despite the slow pace of drawing and the possibility of erasing and redrawing halfway through, as time passed, an intricate circle of magic circles gradually appeared on the floor of the room.

"Immortal Summoning Ritual".

A summoning magic style from the game and anime FATE series.

Strictly speaking, the Immortal Summoning Ritual itself is not a regular player skill, but rather a general world rule that will exist in any eligible illusion.

In other words, as long as certain conditions are met, any player can summon their own servants without any points or skills.

Condition 1 must be a mystical fantasy world with magic, mana, or spiritual power.

Condition 2: The world must be set in a modern urban setting, and there must be historical figures and myths and legends that are exactly the same as those on Earth.

Condition 3: Summoners need at least 500 basic spiritual attributes.

This "Immortal Summoning Ritual" is one of the legitimate bugs in the Fantasy System discovered by Explorers in previous lives and released to all players for free, and it is also a last resort for players to save themselves in special situations.

Of course, in this life, the "FATE" series of illusions has not yet been opened, and Luo Jie is currently the only one who knows this ritual and summoning array drawing method.

"I didn't expect to use this ritual here......"

Looking down at the delicate patterns that covered almost the entire floor of the room, a trace of tangled and flesh pain appeared in Luo Jie's expression.

Those familiar with the FATE series know that there is a rule that during the ritual, if the summoner has a relic or a corresponding legendary artifact called a "catalyst", there is a high chance that the corresponding Immortal will be summoned. If there is no "catalyst", a random Heroic Spirit will be summoned.

Of course, it's not that random people can't follow powerful servants, but this thing is like the card pool of some card games, and if you don't want to get SSR, it's better to buy a lottery ticket directly.

Luo Jie originally wanted to wait until he received a specific powerful Heroic Spirit "Catalyst" on the market, and then use the summoning quota that can only be used once in this life.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and the current task already made him feel the threat of death, even if it was just a lifesaver that did not play any role, he had to gamble.

Xuan does not change his life, and Krypton does not save him.

Luo Jie didn't do any metaphysical rituals of burning incense, praying, bathing and changing clothes, and directly touched the ground with both hands, and transported his spiritual power to the summoning array.

Under the cold fluorescent lamp, the rough chalk lines gradually lit up with a brilliant seven-colored light like an aurora.

In the center of the light, countless symbols flickered at a dizzying high speed, and behind each symbol corresponded to a heroic spirit that could be summoned.

Luo Jie had no choice at the moment, but could only wait for the final verdict to come like a prisoner standing in the courtroom.

Suddenly, a line of text popped up in the system prompt that surprised Luo Jie.

- [Detected that the player's "Dire" is in possession of an unidentified catalyst "Mysterious Book Fragment", yes/is it used as a catalyst to summon the Heroic Spirit?] 】
