Just as Tang Hao and Yuji accompanied Emperor Qin to his secret base in the royal carriage to check on the Demon God Pillars for alchemy, something happened in the chat room.
The last time the chat room sent out an invitation letter was when Tang Hao, Kirito, and Asuna were adventuring in Arad. It had been nearly twenty days since then. The three invitations only attracted the two scientists, Makase Hong Liqi and Okabe Ryutaro. There was still no news from the third invitation letter. Obviously, there was no hope anymore.
On the other hand, the chat room now had as many as 19 members, but in fact, it was still very weak in terms of combat power. Although there was a big boss like Amethyst, she could not directly intervene in many things due to her high interference value. Of course, this included Kaguya, Patchouli, and Gu Mingdikyu.
The four strongest people in the chat room had more than 150 interference value, so most of the time, they could only watch from the sidelines. This was also the reason why Tang Hao called them the Four Idlers of Fantasy Village.
Apart from the four of them, the only ones who could be considered as the backbone of the chatroom were Yakuza God of Battle, Misaka Mikoto, Kuriyama Miku, Zoro, Ginshi Sakata, and Tang Tongya.
There were only eight people.
However, Ginshiro Sakata was trapped in the small hero's world. Kirito and Asuna were busy with the strategy of Aincrad. With the mountain of Bone King on top of their heads, the two of them had no time to rest. Then there was Zoro. The Straw Hat Pirates had begun to contact Crocodile's studio. They were about to face the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Zoro was completely unable to leave.
Finally, Night God of Battle was also found by Nobora, who had an inextricable relationship with him. The current period of time was also quite difficult for him.
In the end, the only ones who could fight and move freely were Tang Hao, Misaka Mikoto, and Kuriyama Miki.
Amethyst concluded that chatrooms required combat power, and it was the type that could fight without high interference value. It was also what most people knew. Therefore, after Tang Hao entered the FGO world, both Amethyst and Kaguya did not organize any more recruitment.
The root cause was the lack of manpower. Those who were free didn't have any fighting strength, so they couldn't recruit strong fighters. Those who had fighting strength couldn't leave.
As for Misaka Mikoto and Kuriyama Miyagi, the former had to deal with Misaka's sister while the latter had just joined the chatroom not long ago. Hence, he might not be familiar with the business and would need some time to adapt.
At that point, the Misaka sisters were almost done with their work. The rest of the work could be left to Bee-Eater Cao Qi and the substitute. After watching Tang Hao's livestream, Kuriyama Miyamoto had a general understanding of what it was like to be a member of the recruitment group, as well as the dangers that they might face.
The two of them could finally announce their freedom without any worries.
Then, Ba Yunzi pulled the two of them into her group chat.
Although Misaka Mikoto was a member of Kaguya's group chat, there were no hard and fast conditions for it. It was quite easy for her to leave the group and change to another.
However, Misaka Mikoto was stunned when she saw Kuriyama Miki in the same group.
Love the Best: "Are you asking us to form a team to carry out a mission?"
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "Yes, that's right."
Love the Best: "Doesn't that mean that the Princess's authority is empty?"
She thought that she and Kuriyama Miki would be carrying out different missions at the same time.
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "Don't worry about Kaguya for now. It's good to have a backup authority. Also, this is for safety reasons."
I'm Not Happy: "What safety?"
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "You can take a look at the interference values of both parties."
I'm Not Happy: "Oh."
Misaka Mikoto's interference value was 60. As an electric ability user and electricity was one of the indispensable energy sources in modern society, it was normal for her to have an interference value of 60.
Kuriyama Miki's interference value was 40, which was the same as Night God of Battle. The interference value of his world was 80, which was the same as Noyogami's world.
Love the Best: "Huh?"
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "Did you notice?"
I'm Not Happy: "What?"
Love the Best: "It seems like there's a problem. The current interference value of the chat room is 50. According to the group announcement, even if we carry out a random mission, we can only send members with less than 50 interference value into a world with less than 50 interference value. Even with the 10 interference value reduction for group members, it's just enough for me to enter a world with 50 interference value. Why … did Night God of Battle enter a world with 80 interference value last time?"
I'm Not Happy: "Eh, is that so?"
Love the Best: "Didn't you see it?"
I'm Not Happy: "Uh, I don't know much about this …"
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "That was in the past. In fact, I only realized it after Kuriyama joined the chat room. In the past, the functions of the chat room were limited, and the interference value was limited to the group members and the world. But now, it seems that only the group members are limited. In other words, it's possible for you to enter a world with more than 50 interference value."
Love the Best: "… I see."
Love the Best: "If we're like Da Bendan and enter a world with an interference value of around 400, it'll be more dangerous. If that's the case, it'll be necessary to form a team."
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "No, no, no. That guy isn't a normal person. You can't use him as a reference. Night God of Battle is your reference. According to my estimation, the world's interference value will jump up by one level at most, which is around 100."
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "If it's a world with less than 100 interference value, it shouldn't be a problem. But if the world's interference value goes above 100, it might be more troublesome. That's why this mission is also an experiment. I hope both of you are mentally prepared."
Love the Best: "I understand!"
Misaka Mikoto, who was sitting cross-legged on her bed and looking at her phone in Tsunebantai's dormitory, nodded. Not only did Amethyst's words not dampen her enthusiasm, it made her even more eager to try it out.
I'm Not Happy: "I'm ready too."
Kuriyama Mikoto clenched his fists. Although her ID in the group was "I'm Not Happy", her mood was the exact opposite of her ID. In the past, she was helped by the chatroom to avoid the tragedy that befell her and Kamihara-senpai. Although it was not a matter of life and death for the chatroom, she was still very excited when she thought that she could help.
Perhaps, this was how she repaid her debt of gratitude.
In fact, after learning about the trouble that Night God of Battle was in, she planned to go to Noyogami's world and lend him a hand. After all, it was Night God of Battle and Hikari Ichihara who directly helped her. However, not only did he reject her help, he also rejected the chatroom's intervention.
That person … no, that god had the personality of silently shouldering everything by himself, just like her in the past.
Kuriyama Mikoto felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing she could do.
Of course, she was not too worried because there were many people who were more powerful than her in the chatroom. Moreover, Hikari Ichihara was there as well. If Night God of Battle was really in trouble that he could not solve, Hikari Ichihara would definitely not sit idly by. Even if Night God of Battle was against it, he would still ask for help from the chatroom.
Therefore, she did not have to worry too much.
For now, she just had to focus on the task at hand.
"Well then, let's begin."
As soon as Amethyst's voice fell, the two of them immediately disappeared, leaving only their substitutes behind.
…
"It's a town."
"Unfortunately, it's night time. I can't see anyone."
In the blink of an eye, Misaka Mikoto and Kuriyama Mikoto found themselves in an unfamiliar place. From the surrounding environment, it looked like a town. However, it was not the kind of modern steel and cement. Instead, it had the aura of a magical world, giving off a subtle feeling.
Whether it was a modern world or a magical world, the two of them did not really care. However, it was late at night, and there was not a single person on the streets nearby. Even if they wanted to ask around, it was impossible …
"Hey, wait." Suddenly, Kuriyama Mikoto reached out his hand to stop Misaka Mikoto who was about to walk to the side. The latter looked at him suspiciously and explained softly, "I think there's a sound over there. Listen."
Misaka Mikoto pricked up her ears. Not long after, she heard a series of banging noises coming from the dark streets. However, it did not take long for the sounds to stop. It felt clean and tidy.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Someone's fighting!"
Kuriyama Mikoto was a warrior from another world. Although he was slow, he had been fighting with Yaomeng for a long time. Hence, he was very sensitive to battles. Misaka Mikoto was even more so. As a level-five superpower user, and with a competitive personality, she was no stranger to the sounds of battle.
"It might be over. Let's go take a look."
The two of them immediately ran toward the direction of the sound.
A moment later, the two of them passed through a few floors of buildings and arrived at a relatively secluded alley. Under the moonlight, a man with sharp hair like a porcupine stood there. Two men were lying by his feet. They were covered in wounds and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. In his right hand was a blue-haired girl who seemed to have been beaten until she fainted.
"Heh, is that all you've got? How boring." The man laughed sinisterly and spat on the ground. He was about to carry the blue-haired girl over his shoulder.
"Hey!"
Misaka Mikoto was a girl with a strong sense of justice. Naturally, she could not sit back and do nothing when she saw the situation. She immediately yelled and rushed out.
"Hmm? Are there any other companions? "
The man turned around. His face looked like steel. When he saw the two unfamiliar faces of Misaka Mikoto and Kuriyama Mikoto, he was slightly stunned.
"What are you trying to do with this girl?!"
Misaka Mikoto stood in front of the man and looked at him cautiously.
