21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 655 - 651: Opportunity (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"I'm going to Tokyo next week, Brother Yu's new drug is launching, and he invited me to celebrate with him, so let's meet up then." Tokairin Yūko read the message on her phone, a rare touch of shyness appearing on her face.

The message was from Inomata Naoki.

Having gotten Inomata Naoki's contact information from Chen Yu, Misumi Meiqin very enthusiastically passed it on to Tokairin Yūko.

And Tokairin Yūko took the initiative to get in touch with Inomata Naoki and quickly, the two of them hit it off and started chatting.

Although Inomata Naoki wasn't from Tokyo, which Tokairin Yūko found slightly disappointing, a doctoral graduate from the University of Tokyo Medical School still found it quite easy to look for work in Tokyo, not to mention that Inomata Naoki's family owned a ranch.

Thanks to the Japan Agricultural Association, which made the prices of agricultural products quite steep, although the investment was high, the income was not bad.

Moreover, large livestock such as cattle and horses are always valuable, and the ranch Inomata Naoki's family managed was not one that had only a dozen or so animals; the land of a large ranch alone was extremely valuable.

As materialistic as it might sound, Tokairin Yūko was very clear that marriage and emotions are built on a stable material foundation.

For the impoverished, every aspect of marriage is sad; that statement isn't just talk.

If you have to fight hard just to make a living, where will you find the time to pursue romance and love in marriage?

And for a woman, she has to spend a lot of money every day to maintain her youth and beauty, and then she has to invest her future happiness as a price. If she places her trust in the wrong person, wouldn't it ruin her life?

It's not that marrying someone without much money means there's no happiness. Mitsubishi Group founder Yataro Iwasaki was poor and destitute when he was young, and he even sold his samurai status due to financial difficulties, being merely a rōnin. When his wife married him, they were so poor that their home was practically empty, but who could have imagined that Yataro Iwasaki would later establish the Mitsubishi Group and become one of Japan's wealthiest merchants?

But these are after all the minority; the vast majority of those living in poverty probably spend their entire lives toiling for their livelihood, right?

If a woman marries you during the prime of her life, and you can't even ensure her most basic needs, how can there be happiness and joy between husband and wife?

Though this might seem biased, it ultimately represents the majority of cases.

That's why Tokairin Yūko was paying a membership fee of 50,000 Japanese yen each month to go to a high-end gym; her goal was to meet those 'promising young men' like IT company leaders to marry herself off.

Now that Misumi Meiqin and Chen Yu had introduced her to a man whose conditions were not bad, Tokairin Yūko naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

She not only took initiative in contacting Inomata Naoki, but she also went straight to Chen Yu and asked about what kind of person Inomata Naoki truly was.

Chen Yu naturally wouldn't speak ill of his good friend, but he didn't overly praise Inomata Naoki either. He simply informed Tokairin Yūko about the specifics of Inomata Naoki, giving her a general understanding.

Through this series of actions, Tokairin Yuko was very satisfied with Inomata Naoki, and thus she affirmed her desire to date him.

Their contact became more frequent, and even though they hadn't known each other for long, this was when two people who had just met exchanged the most words.

After several exchanges, not only had Tokairin Yuko gained a deeper understanding of Inomata Naoki, but he had also come to know quite a bit about Tokairin Yuko, and both were very pleased with each other.

It just happened that Chen Yu, because of the successful experimentation with the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug, wanted to invite Inomata Naoki, who had worked with him on the research, to Tokyo to celebrate, prompting Inomata Naoki to suggest a meeting.

Although Tokairin Yuko felt she should probably be more reserved, faced with Inomata Naoki's invitation, she smoothly accepted, believing it was a good opportunity that should be seized.

On the other hand, knowing that Inomata Naoki was planning to meet with Tokairin Yuko, Chen Yu put down his phone, contemplating his next plan.

The matter between Inomata Naoki and Minami clearly wasn't going to be resolved by simply dragging things out, and leaving it be was of no help to the situation at hand.

With Tokairin Yuko's intervention, this issue now had a new variable and, naturally, new potential solutions.

"Now it depends on Naoki and Doctor Tokairin's fate," mumbled Chen Yu to himself, as he summoned the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" and flipped to the section on how to plunder the world's rules and become an Ancient God.

Ancient Gods are not just old deities but refer to gods that existed at the birth of the world without reliance on faith. While they are indeed ancient, the title of Ancient God is only to differentiate them from new gods who do rely on the belief of followers. If a new god were to emerge without the need for faith, they, too, would be revered as an Ancient God.

Of course, the key to becoming an Ancient God lies in obtaining rules from the world, integrating these rules into oneself, and becoming part of the world's order.

At the dawn of creation, when various rules were not yet perfected or solidified, it was not a troublesome task for powerful beings to merge themselves with the world's rules, as even the consciousness of the world itself would be willing to do so. This allowed strong beings to bond with the world's rules, making the world more stable and complete.

But after the world's rules had evolved and solidified, to do so became much harder.

When a world's rules are well-established and functioning smoothly, separating one of those rules becomes immensely challenging.

It is like trying to pull a single thread from a tangled mess, which is tedious but not impossible, but once the tangle is woven into a net, extracting a specific thread is nearly impossible because the various rules have become tightly intertwined.

To merge with the world's rules and become an Ancient God in a world that is perfect and functioning normally entails creating turmoil enough to shake the very foundations of the entire world. This disturbance causes the normally functioning rules to falter, creating gaps through which an entity aiming to become an Ancient God can extract and integrate a rule into themselves, and this is the only way to attain godhood as an Ancient God.

This is why the rituals of Necromancer's Divine Enthronement often involve cruel and bloody acts such as slaughter and sacrifice, because these can more easily destabilize a world's foundation.
