Book 6: Chapter 52:2: Master, It Wasn’t Intentional! Part 2
Solomon: Alright, alright, no matter what, Kazumas world is indeed perfect for the early stages. For those who urgently need strength, its worth considering.
He Who Knows Fate: Do you think we can discuss this with Customer Service? Establish a long-term contract between this world and the members who want to go to Kazumas world for training.
Vengeance Witch: ?
Time Witch: Are you suggesting that instead of charging per trip to Satou Kazumas world, we should charge based on the time spent there?
He Who Knows Fate: Yes, because all of us here have busy lives; itd be rare for anyone to have extended periods to level up in Satou Kazumas world. If they opt for the service to alter the flow of time between worlds, it would become too costly. .c(o)m
He Who Knows Fate: Furthermore, according to the regular interworld travel procedure, each crossing allows only one months stay in that world. After a month, youll be expelled, and if you want to reenter that world, theres a seven-day cooldown. Kazuma, do you think this proposal is acceptable?
While this suggestion would be very convenient for association members, Satou Kazuma might lose slightly.
Kazuma the Brute: Ah! No problem.
Satou Kazuma didnt mind because if people from the association didnt show up later, he would still lose. Besides, the real charges came in the later stages.
Workaholic Gil: It might be tricky if you want to get this done, but you can give it a try.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: I think this proposal has potential.
God Sai: Speaking of which, isnt Root also a world consciousness? Youre well-acquainted with Customer Service. How about you give it a shot?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Me? I cant. While I am indeed a world consciousness and have influence over Customer Service, Im not an administrator of this association.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: In this association, theres quite a difference between administrators and non-administrators. Administrators have the authority to make suggestions to Customer Service.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Do administrators really have that much power?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Thats the reality. Anyone who becomes an administrator has made significant contributions to the Dimension Administrators Association. Their opinions can be reported through proper channels.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: If an administrators suggestions align with the interests of the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference and the Dimension Administrators Association, then the proposal is likely to be accepted.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I want to be an administrator, too, but earning those evaluation points is tough. Completing a task doesnt yield many evaluation points, which makes it much harder to accumulate points.
Efreet: Chen Heng, our happiness relies on you.
He Who Knows Fate: I can try, but Im worried that Customer Service might still hold a grudge against me.
Blank Never Loses: Customer Service cant be that petty, right? Youre referring to the incident where you mentioned Customer Service called Root an old witch, arent you?
He Who Knows Fate: How would I know if Customer Service is petty?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Dont worry. Customer Service isnt that petty. Besides, Customer Service can differentiate between personal and official matters. Otherwise, as an administrator, you can file a complaint against her.
He Who Knows Fate: Do administrators have that much power? Well, then, Ill give it a try.
Although Chen Heng believed Customer Service might hold a grudge, this involved the interests of everyone in the Dimension Administrators Association (including Chen Heng), so he had to forge ahead.
Customer Service, are you there?
Im sorry, Customer Service is dead. Burn some paper offerings if you need help.
[TL Note: The Chinese believe that burning paper as an offering to the dead or deities, often in the form of golden paper, results in the dead receiving the goods depicted, such as money and ingots to spend in the afterlife, houses, cars, clothes, and even servants.]
Come on, stop causing a scene, OK? Im here for something serious. I admit I was wrong, and I apologize for bringing up the matter of you calling Root an old witch.
Oh, you know how to apologize now? If Im not mistaken, you must have come to apologize because you need something from me, right? Ptooey! Youre quite the scoundrel.
Chen Heng fell silent for a moment because he had indeed come to speak to Customer Service for a favor, which was why he had apologized. Now that he thought about it, he was quite the scoundrel.
What if I said I just wanted to chat with you? Would you believe me?
Id believe you. Why wouldnt I? Alright, were done with this chat. Goodbye.
Wait, wait. Umthis time, I really do have something important.
I knew it. If you people didnt have something to ask me, why would you bother coming to me?
Perhaps it was just Chen Hengs imagination, but he could actually pick up a hint of resentment in Customer Services tone. That should be my imagination, right? Well, yes, theres no mistaking it.
Uhwell, I came this time to propose something, and it concerns the entire Dimension Administrators Association.
Finally exercising your administrator privileges, are you? Did Senior Root mention it to you?
Yeah.
Alright, whats the proposal? Even though my grudge against you hasnt completely dissipated, I can differentiate between official business and private matters.
Chen Heng heaved a sigh of relief, reassured that his proposal wouldnt be dismissed because of his history with Customer Service.
So, its like this. Our Dimension Administrators Association now has some new members whove just awakened their abilities and dont have enough strength in the early stages to protect themselves. Just a while ago, I visited Satou Kazumas world, and I found that the power system there is suitable for some of our new Dimension Administrators Association members and those with their own power systems to raise their strength.
Hmmyou bring up a valid point. So, what do you want to do?
You see, most Dimension Administrators Association members have important matters to attend to in their own worlds and cant spend continuous, extended periods in that world. Moreover, each time you cross worlds, it costs 100 points. So, I wanted to discuss if we could change the 100-point cost for crossing into Satou Kazumas world to 100 points per 30-day period?
Let me thinkyour proposal does make sense. If you insist on doing this, its possible.
So, you agree?
Dont get me wrong; its not about my agreement or disagreement. My duty is to answer your questions, but your suggestion is beyond the scope of my authority. I have to report it upwards. I dont have the authority to change the Dimension Administrators Associations fee structure.
Oh, alright. Then would you please relay this idea to your superior?
Relaying it is not an issue. Your idea has a good chance of being implemented because it aligns with the interests of the Dimension Administrators Association. However, are you really planning to use such a simple method?
