Takumi's eyes looked at the passage door.
Today was another day with a few new people.
And, were there ancient people coming too?
He looked at the middle-aged man in the crowd, exuding an aura of authority.
Takumi touched his chin.
"This outfit is from the Qin Dynasty."
"And it's a dragon robe?"
"In other words, is this Brother Chiyog?"
Speaking of this, Takumi was intrigued.
Guoman world?
After browsing the database briefly, Takumi confirmed the man's identity.
He was indeed from the Guoman side.
The First Emperor from the Qin period in Bright Moon.
At this moment, the First Emperor was looking around, confused.
A man beside him, dressed in modern attire, noticed and understood that he had just arrived.
And he was wearing ancient clothes?
"Is this your first time in this world?"
Curious, the man couldn't help but ask.
The First Emperor glanced at him.
That one glance made him instantly nervous.
Was this an emperor?
Such presence.
"What is this place?"
The First Emperor asked calmly.
Oh no, it wasn't the modern clothes that were fancy.
His own outfit was the odd one now.
"It's another world."
Though curious, the man hurriedly explained the situation.
Takumi watched with interest for a while before leaving.
These emperors from the ancient world were bound to impact their new world.
After learning things here, they'd surely go back and change their courts.
But for now, Takumi wasn't interested in that.
He already had the First Emperor in his own world.
At the moment, he was chatting with others nearby.
Elder Valhalla liked him a lot.
Takumi strolled around the street near the random passage gate.
Watching people coming and going, he was impressed.
It really was a city of all worlds.
Here, you could find anything.
Several gourmet shops had already opened.
There were stores selling all kinds of technology.
From everyday tech to spaceflight innovations, it was all here.
While exploring, Takumi noticed several stores under renovation.
He even bumped into Fujiwara Chika and her group.
They weren't kidding when they said they were opening a store.
Now they were scouting locations with Stop Cloud.
"Eun Gong!"
Xue Yun was the first to greet him.
"Why are you here too?"
Fujiwara Chika looked surprised to see Takumi.
Did he come intentionally?
"I'm just bored and wandering around."
"I happened to run into you."
Takumi rolled his eyes.
Was it so strange for him to be here?
"You're bored, right? Then come help us choose a shop."
Hearing that, Chika grinned.
They were struggling with choices.
Since Takumi was around, he might as well help.
He had nothing better to do.
Takumi didn't refuse.
"What are you looking at?"
There were many vacant shops in Takumi's area.
So what had caught their eye?
"Right here."
"We're not considering places that are too far."
"What do you think about this location?"
"If it's close to the gate, everything's rented out."
"We don't want to steal someone else's spot."
"So we're checking here."
Chika pointed to the shop they were considering.
She was determined to have a business of her own.
Everyone else in the group had one—so should she.
Chika pulled Takumi aside and began chatting about the shop.
"It's not too far from the gate."
"But something feels off."
"If we could get a better spot, that'd be ideal."
"But right now, this is the best available."
"What do you think?"
She looked at Takumi with hope.
Hoping he'd offer solid advice.
"This is fine."
"What more do you want?"
"If it's the best available, take it."
"Or should I rebuild a space for you elsewhere?"
Takumi glanced at her.
That's what she wanted, right?
No wonder she grabbed him for ideas.
"Really? That would be amazing!!"
Her tone grew excited.
If that could happen, it'd be perfect.
Sure enough, Takumi understood her.
Seeing her reaction, Takumi sighed.
"There's a lot of free space."
"But if we build something, you'll have to fully use it."
"Have you thought about your business model?"
"Just secondhand trading?"
If it was just reselling items from traversers, that'd be a waste.
If she wanted to go big, go big.
"I don't know what else to do."
"Business is hard now."
"And my family's not into business."
Everyone in her family was an official.
The only one remotely connected to commerce was her sister.
And even she worked at the Ministry of Commerce—still a civil servant.
"I'll give you something. Open a department store."
"Exclusively for traversers."
"It's easy."
"Look at what I uploaded in the group."
"Spend a few points, buy them, and sell them."
Takumi grinned.
There were plenty of treasures in the chat group.
All uploaded by him.
Hearing this, Fujiwara Chika froze.
Megumi Kato, standing nearby, couldn't help but comment.
"You're just eyeing our leftover points."
"You're really going all in!"
This guy really planned to drain all their points.
"Too much!!"
"Why are you always after our points?"
Chika glared at Takumi.
Was he ever going to give them a break?
Takumi just shrugged.
"I need points."
"Besides, it benefits you too."
"Just buy directly from the group."
Then Takumi uploaded some treasures and tech again.
The group went silent.
This guy was serious.
