Doraemon: Nobita with Chat Group

Chapter 11

3rd POV

"It's so, weird~" Suneo says, still trying to make fire out of nothing.

"Yeah! We just suddenly had a lot of common sense about magic in our heads." Shizuka also says, making the jazz hands creating rainbow sparkles from her hands.

Gian kept trying to breathe fire from his mouth and nose.

Nobita: "..."

"I also can't do magic! Nobita, you don't have to be sad!" Doraemon comforts him from the side.

Nobita shook his head, Doraemon is just a robot!

Didn't the gadget make magic normal? Then why is still not able to do it?

But still, Nobita didn't feel unhappy because he didn't know magic.

But this thing is weird.

He makes some kind of guess.

'Maybe... Since I changed the phone booth, the reality was altered, but because I was inside the gadget, it did not affect me?'

As he was lost in his thought, his mother completed setting the breakfast.

"Alright kids, it's time to eat!"

Tamako used the levitating spell proficiently, so that everyone's table was placed with food. After sitting at the dining table, Nobita kept pondering the possibilities.

"Although I didn't get magic, but maybe I can learn it!"

Nobita suddenly remembered that he still has more than 1,000 chat group points saved from completing two tasks.

Liu Peiqiang's task gave him 1,000 points and Tony also issued a task for 500 points.

After those two tasks, he had a total of 1,500 points.

Nobita became curious, since the Chat Group seems pretty powerful, could it help him learn magic even if he could normally not learn it?

But... Nobita isn't ready too spend much.

Strengthening his overall physical abilities alongside his mind and soul seems quite useful, but being unsure about learning magic and potentially losing all his points would make it pointless.

"Then... first lets' try with five hundred!"

Thinking of this, Nobita opened the chat group.

"I want to spend 500 points to strengthen my talent for learning magic." He tells it silently.

{Are you sure you want to strengthen your magic talent?}

{Reminder: The world system in which you reside emphasizes the overall strengthening of you as a whole. Enhancing yourself holistically is far more beneficial than focusing on improving just one aspect.}

Holistic enhancement?

Nobita quickly understood the meaning of the chat group.

It could mean that, since the world of Doraemon in general is a normal world, not including the almost magical gadgets from the future, holistically enhancing oneself would be far more beneficial than just generally focusing on one aspect.

If he were in the Elemental Nations of Naruto, he could focus on his Chakra aspect to become a prodigy in Chakra Manipulation, or develop his Physical aspect to excel in Taijutsu, becoming a beast like a certain youthful shinobi. Alternatively, he could focus on holistic growth, enhancing all aspects of himself to become an exceptionally talented individual, similar to Itachi, Minato, or Kakashi.

That's just his guess, but he thinks he is correct. So, after thinking for a few second, he says. 

"Then… use 1000 points to enhance me holistically."

{Ding~ Strengthening success!}

{One thousand points have been deducted}

{Current points balance: 550 points}

Following the system's prompt, he felt a rush of strength again, like before. Just stronger.

'This feels great.' Nobita thinks happily.

He felt as if he had suddenly become 5-6 times stronger than before. Including his earlier progress, he believes that he was now nearly 10 times stronger than the average human.

For a time, he felt as if that the world around him seemed different.

He could feel mother and his friends when using magic.

There seems to be an invisible wave of energy being manipulated, applied to the corresponding object someone's targeting.

He could now see them with his naked eye, and with his glasses, which now seemed useless to him. Since his eyesight also improved by about 10 times, meaning he doesn't need to use glasses now. But he wears them anyway to raise eyebrows for now.

He raised his hand subconsciously.

According to the incantation chanted by his father and Suneo in his memory just now.

"Floating Charm..." He mumbles.

As soon as his voice fell, the invisible and intangible power began to fluctuate.

Under Nobita's control, all the furniture in the room suddenly floated into the air.

"Ah! What's happing?" Almost everyone panics.

"It's Nobita! Nobita is using that floating magic!" Doraemon says while floating in the air, as if he was being held by invisible hands.

As far as they could see, everything in the room—whether it was a table, a chair, or even a refrigerator—was floating in the air, including the people.

Except for Nobita himself, everything that could leave the ground was suspended in the air. Even the miso soup in the soup bowl seemed to be free from gravity's effect, slowly floating in the air.

Seeing this scene, Nobita's mother didn't become angry.

"My Nobita is amazing! I can only float simple plates... but he's making everything float in this room." She says with a happy smile, stars shining in her eyes.

"Ah! Nobita! Put me down, I'm wearing a skirt!" Shizuka blushed as she tugged at her skirt with her hands.

"Ah~ Sorry, Shizuka. I didn't think this would happen."

Nobita quickly released the floating spell.

"Clank-clank"

For a while, the room was messy. Everything fell to the ground.

THIS scene made his mother angry.

Looking at all this mess, her face was almost replaced with a demonic one.

"Nobita!! What are you doing!"

"Uh, it was an accident! Mom, don't worry! I'll clean it up for you!"

Having said that, Nobita hurriedly called out.

"House Robot! Please clean up the room..."

....

The strengthening of chat group points gave him an unexpected surprise. He didn't think magic would be included in the strengthening process. But still, it was a nice surprise.

Nobita doesn't know if it's just himself or other group members also enhanced themselves with points too.

The essence, all his aspects became enhanced, meaning that his mind, soul, and talents in all aspects increase simultaneously.

Even more complementary! A strong body can make the mind more active. Active thinking can make it easier to develop the talent that has been improved.

If according to the cultivators, the so-called understanding, talent, spiritual roots, soul, etc. have been enhanced.

This feeling of strengthening is really wonderful!

For the next two days. The feared attack did not come. Everyone goes to school and lives normally.

Originally, Nobita didn't want to going to school again.

But... when he came to the school again, he found that all the teachings in the school were about magic.

Nobita didn't mind attending school if he could learn magic there.

Even in their textbook, there's quite a lot of magical knowledge.

From spells to basic magic principles—though they were at an elementary school level—So, Nobita found them easy to grasp.

In just one day, he fully understood the basic concepts of these elementary school books.

It was even easy to use and with a strong interest in magic, he went to the library to borrow a bunch of magic books.

While Nobita studied hard.

…

In the depths of the Time Patrol department.

The old man's notebook also contained information about the new world.

 [Parallel Universe No. 796: Magical World]

[We have contacted the parallel timeline's Time Patrol Department, and the system parameters of both parties have been exchanged and merged.]

[Remarks: The situation in this world is special, and it is suspected that it is the beginning of the awakening of Nobita's powers.]

[Details: To be investigated].

The 27th Century, Time Patrol Department.

…

"I'm back, Nobita!"

In Nobita's room, Doraemon popped out of the time machine.

'Nobita is still reading.' Doraemon thinks to him happily.

As soon as he came out, he found that Nobita was seriously studying a the magic book.

"Welcome back, Doraemon~" Nobita also smiled and turns towards Doraemon.

"How was your shopping? Did you get the gadgets you wanted?"

This morning, Doraemon suddenly said he had to go to a department store holding a discount sale in the future. He hurriedly jumped into the time machine and slipped away.

"Yeah, it was actually great! I bought several new gadgets, all at low prices! Just in time to deal with the upcoming crisis of the demon invasion in our world!"

After Doraemon patted his pocket, he seemed very happy.

"However, I originally planned to sell some second-hand gadgets I had repaired to make some money, but I found that one was missing."

Hearing this, Nobita became embarrassed.

'Shit!! I went to the past to warn my past self to not lose the small light, but I still didn't get mine back.' Thinking about it, he became more embarrassed.

Nobita decides to tell Doraemon some truth.

"That, Doraemon, you didn't find the small light, right? Sorry… I lost it."

Doraemon spread his hands.

"I already guessed. But, Nobita, you can't be so irresponsible. You know what could happen if someone uses it do bad things right. It could be very dangerous.

"But I guess, I just have to buy another one, and wait if we can get the old one back, it could still get me some money."

As a robot, Doraemon doesn't earn money from a job.

There are two ways for him to make money. The first is to collect some broken or unusable gadget from the future equivalent of junk yard, take them back for repair if can't do it himself, and sell them to earn money.

Another is to participate in the trial of new products in future department stores.

You can get some free gadgets, test performance feedback to manufacturers, and there will be a certain amount of remuneration.

He has long known that these gadgets of Doraemon are very cheap in the future, since they are made for children.

In his memory, these gadgets were purchased by Doraemon from the second-hand market, the second-hand market, and when the future department stores were discounted.

Thinking of this, Nobita took out his piggy bank without hesitation.

"I'm really sorry. Here, take this there's some money I saved to buy a comic/manga. But you can use them to buy more gadgets if you can or to buy yourself some dorayaki."

Doraemon did not answer.

"Nobita… I can't use these money to buy gadgets in the future, but my DORAYAKI." Doraemon jumps around happily, as if had forgotten about the lost gadget.

"Oh… Then what currency will be used in the future? Do they even use money there?"

"The currency of the future... is called World Coin!" Saying that, Doraemon took out a gold coin like a coin.

The coin was caught in his hand, and it gave off a little light.

"This is a one world coin issued by the Time Patrol Department."

Nobita took the coin and felt a familiar fluctuation… But he could not identify what it was.

After a while, he asks again.

"Can't this thing be copied with gadgets?"

Doraemon shook his head.

"Of course not! The world currency is very unique. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and only exists in the present—it doesn't exist in the past or future. No matter what kind of gadget you use, it won't affect the world currency, and it can't be copied. Even if the time machine is used, the same coin cannot exist at two different points in time; they will become obsolete if we try to buy something both those coins."

 [E/N: I don't know if it makes sense, if anyone can put it in better words, please do. I will change it.]

Exist only in the present?

'In an instant, the gold coin became taller.' Nobita tries understanding it, but soon discards the thought for the time being.

Subconsciously, he thought of the chat group.

'What about the chat group points? I wonder if I can copy the world currency using them? Okay, lets try something.'

"Spend points and copy the gold coins in my hand."

[Consume Points-1]

[Copying successful. Your current point balance: 549]

At the end of the speech, an identical gold coin appeared in Nobita's hand.

Doraemon watched this scene, his mind stopped functioning for a while.

"Nobita?! What did you do? How did you make a copy of the world coin?" Doraemon took the future gold coins that Nobita gave him weird look.

"World Coin Detector!"

After taking out the money detector that detects world coins from his pocket, Doraemon put it in.

[Current Amount: 1 World Coin.] Says a mechanical voice.

"Its real!! Nobita, where did you get this World Coins from!"

Doraemon couldn't believe what just happened.

How many people were able to imitate the world currency till now?

NONE!!

Even in the future world, when everything is so developed. No one has ever been able to imitate it successfully!

He just finished bragging about how powerful gold coins in this world are. In a blink of an eye, Nobita made a copy of the one he was holding.

'The points are so awesome?'

Nobita was also very surprised.

At this moment, he couldn't help but glance at the chat group. The world of Doraemon is already very exaggerated, and many things are anti-logic.

It is a thoroughly god-level civilization universe, and the laws of causality, space, time, etc. can be easily bended using the future gadgets.

In such a world, the world currency that countless people can't counterfeit, the chat group can easily copy it using just one Chat Group Point.

Just how powerful is the chat group? And, why would something so powerful choose him?

Nobita couldn't understand.

However, since the world coins can be copied, what about the gadgets?

"Copy the Small Light!"

[Points required: 100,000, insufficient points, copy failed.]

'It takes 100,000 points to copy the small light?' Nobita almost jumped.

…

"I just tried to make a copy. It happened on its own."

Nobita explained, not wanting to reveal the existence of the chat group to anyone for the time being.

Doraemon scratched his head in confusion.

"It shouldn't be possible! How could Nobita copy the World Coin? Is it magic? But that doesn't make sense! Even the magic in this world is made real using the What If Phone Booth. So, it shouldn't be possible for even magic to affect the World Coin. It's really strange!"

Doraemon just felt puzzled.

Nobita laughed and comforted, "Doraemon, isn't it a good thing? We're rich now! You don't have to keep collecting those second-hand gadgets to exchange for money! You can buy brand new gadgets from now on instead."

Nobita looks happy and 'explains' the situation to Doraemon.

After all, if you were to ask who, besides his parents, cares about him the most in the world and would help him through life—even in the face of the most dangerous enemies—who would it be?

That'll be Doraemon!

Nobita didn't become too greedy, points can be earned whenever a task is issued. And Doraemon's gadgets will help him a lot in the process.

But there is only one Doraemon for him!

However, unexpectedly, Doraemon shook his head.

"It won't be that simple, Nobita. We can't keep making copies of World Coins. Even if you can copy the world coins, you will have to lose something for it. Although I don't know what the loss will be, I don't want to get you into trouble with my own hands..."

When Nobita heard this, he only felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

'Doraemon! You really cares about my well being, don't you?' He thinks with a fond smile.

"Don't worry about it, Doraemon! I felt the loss of magic when I made that copy, but I don't think there's any side effect other than that. This should still be helpful for you. And I've already recovered the lost magic, too."

Hearing that it was harmless to Nobita, Doraemon was also relieved.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Its' just that… I just don't know, what exactly is this power... I've never heard of it."

Nobita smiled slightly, but did not answer.

The existence of the chat group… he is not prepared to tell others.

Maybe later? But now's not the time.

"We can start with 7 World Coins for now." Nobita says with a confident grin, happy to finally be helpful to Doraemon.
