15:35.
10880 Malibu Point, Coastal Cliff Villa.
On the villa's balcony, under a parasol, Ethan, Steve, and Bucky were napping on lounge chairs.
Inside the living room, Tony Stark was holding Pepper's hand, placing a… bracelet on her wrist.
After reading the message in her mind, Pepper was shocked, staring at Tony Stark with wide eyes that seemed to ask: Tony, is this a prank?!
Unfortunately, Tony didn't understand Pepper's expression, or perhaps he understood but thought her shock was adorable, so he pretended not to. He continued speaking.
"I'll transfer some money to you, Pepper. You can buy some things you like. I plan to sell Artificial Human Dolls or other things in the group chat later, and you'll be responsible for communicating with the buyers."
Tony Stark said this, and seemed to remember something, "Hmm, you get familiar with things first, I have to go out."
After saying that, Tony Stark disappeared without a trace, like a burst soap bubble.
Pepper pinched her right cheek, the pain immediately sobered her up, it wasn't a dream?!
Shocked for a few seconds, Pepper entered the shop, looking at item after item of beauty and skincare products, her eyes gradually lit up with a radiant glow.
The empty shop was very quiet, the bright yellow light shone quietly, and the elegant sandalwood fragrance lingered in the room, Mu Yang propped his face with one hand and looked out the window.
The scenery outside the window showed the imposing Whitebeard standing on the bow of the Moby Dick, squatting in a horse stance and throwing punches methodically, each punch looking particularly heavy, the fist wind fierce, and the fist sound whistling.
If you asked what he was doing, he was fishing.
Boom! With a punch, heaven and earth shook, and the sea surface shattered.
A giant Sea King, its size comparable to an island, was flung into the air. Its terrified roar was like a thousand thunderclaps exploding simultaneously, shaking the air and whipping up waves.
But these terrified roars often didn't last long. Whitebeard's relentless punches threw the sea into complete chaos. The Sea Kings were like they'd been tossed into a washing machine, colliding with each other, and quickly falling into a state of unconsciousness.
Once a sufficient number of Sea Kings were unconscious, Whitebeard would stop punching and instead wield Murakumogiri, slicing through them one by one. He would then sell the Sea Kings to the Dimensional Shop.
It was worth noting that Sea Kings were indeed very valuable.
Whitebeard, using his hardcore fishing method, was quickly accumulating wealth.
Ding-ling—
The doorbell rang. The view outside the window blurred, and Mu Yang's gaze turned towards the door. Tony Stark pushed it open and entered.
"Yo! Boss Mu!" Tony Stark greeted enthusiastically. His enthusiasm gave off a strange feeling.
"Hello, what can I help you with?" Mu Yang asked, looking a bit puzzled.
Generally, shop members used the online store to buy things. Hardly anyone came to the physical store, so he was usually quite free.
Aside from occasionally going to other worlds to pick out customers, he spent his time watching the scenery and the daily lives of members in other worlds through the Any Door.
Hmm? Seems a bit like Yukari Yakumo.
Mu Yang's expression became strange for a moment, and he felt like he could form a voyeuristic duo with Yukari Yakumo.
Speaking of which, Gensokyo is quite interesting!
Mu Yang's eyes gradually glazed over, his thoughts drifting away.
Tony Stark, who was focused on watching Mu Yang, was stunned. "Spacing out...?"
Could someone space out while talking to someone?
Should I say that's impressive?
The speechless mood eased some of Tony Stark's inner tension.
"Shopkeeper Mu? Shopkeeper Mu!" Tony Stark walked to the counter and gently tapped the table.
"Hmm?" Mu Yang came back to his senses, looking at Tony Stark.
"I plan to sell some Artificial Human Dolls through the group chat..." Tony Stark told Mu Yang his idea.
"Sure!" Mu Yang's tone was cheerful.
Mu Yang had no intention of stopping anyone who wanted to run a private shop.
No matter how much money you make through your private shop, the Dimensional Shop is irreplaceable.
Therefore, your money will eventually become my money!
"Yep, it's me, Mu Yang!"
...How easy! Tony Stark's expression was subtle. He felt his previous tension was completely unnecessary.
After chatting with Mu Yang for a few more sentences, Tony Stark took his leave to go home and prepare his private shop.
Ding-ling—
The doorbell rang again just as Tony Stark walked out. Mu Yang thought Tony had forgotten something and returned, but when he looked up, he realized it wasn't him.
It was a stern-faced middle-aged man holding a cross-shaped shield, wearing bright red Western-style armor, with gray-silver hair combed back, a strand hanging in front of his forehead.
After staring for a moment, Mu Yang had no impression and couldn't guess who it was, so he entered the shop to purchase information.
Heathcliff, is that Kayaba Akihiko?!
Mu Yang read the information in his mind, and memories that had been forgotten deep in his mind gradually began to surface.
Be a man and clear all one hundred floors!
The floating castle – Aincrad.
He was a man who was both obsessed with his dreams and ruthless.
Because he was full of dreams, he accepted some strange things very quickly.
"Any dream can come true! Dreams!"
Kayaba Akihiko's serious face gradually became excited, then gradually cooled down, "Money! The money that can realize my dreams, where to get it..."
To turn a hundred-story high castle, with an unbelievably vast interior space, containing cities, forests, grasslands... legendary monsters and sword skills, into a real, floating castle, the money needed would definitely be an astronomical figure.
"What to do! What to do!..."
The cross shield fell to the ground and dissipated into data, causing Kayaba Akihiko to cover his head, his pupils shaking.
A few minutes ago, the floating castle in the virtual world was enough to satisfy him, but now he wanted something better... a floating castle that was more in line with his ideal image.
In the shop, Kayaba Akihiko's low murmurs echoed, lost in his own world.
Mu Yang retracted his gaze, planning to talk to Kayaba Akihiko after he calmed down.
What to do while waiting? Naturally, it was to take a look at the scenery and changes in other worlds.
After Amegakure and Sunagakure reached a cooperation agreement, the South-North Water Transfer Project began construction. Sunagakure was responsible for building the water pipes directly to Amegakure. Considering the monsters in the desert, the pipes used a double-layered structure.
The outer layers were cement and rock, while the inner layers were plastic and alloy.
Also, there was a small house every half a kilometer. These houses were inhabited by ninjas from Sunagakure. Considering the dangers of the wilderness, the houses were occupied by Chunin and retired ninjas who still possessed combat strength.
\n\n
Inside Amegakure, the civilians living on the lower floors of the tower-like buildings had moved to the middle and upper floors. Bridges connected the buildings, and platforms were built between several buildings. Platforms were also staggered every few floors, but there were fewer the higher up you went.
\n\n
Some of the platforms were ecological domes used for growing fruits and vegetables, and some served as farmers' markets, where the villagers traded.
\n\n
The now-empty ground was covered with steel, which collected rainwater in reservoirs.
\n\n
The style of Amegakure was rapidly changing…
