Chapter 185

This meeting is destiny! Wakamou. ─How about turning the world upside down with me?

You mustn’t cut down the green shoots of the Korean Tower….. It’s only just beginning!! Their era is….!!

There are things that can never be stopped.

‘Inherited will,’ ‘the dreams of people,’ ‘the ebb and flow of the era.’ ─── As long as humans seek the answer to ‘freedom,’ these things will never cease.

The Korean Tower and Wakamou Inarizushi have finally joined hands.

When they started from the bottom, they were such a ragtag bunch.

A climber, who could die any second, and the most incompetent tower, which couldn’t even organize its skills properly and had to be fixed constantly.

These two entities have now become so renowned that there’s no one left in the world who doesn’t know them!!

[Korean Tower laughing, saying lending costs keep them profitable!]

“Kihihi!! To think tower coins are used like this in a casino…!! I’ve already made a fortune…!!”

Not a scammer, but surprisingly working sensibly, the secret forces of the [East Asian Federation].

There were forces here larger and more dangerous than [Six Legged Beast], more secretive and varied than [Guardian].

The tower, the Tower Lord, climbers, and lions had all gathered in one place to devise plans for earning costs and tower coins.

Of course, the one leading this whole project was Wakamou Inarizushi.

『For high and upper-tier climbers, we offer 【Tower Coin】 loans at low interest rates』.

How many front-runners wept in agony because of the newly introduced currency?

How many poor climbers were there, selling their items to earn tower coins to buy something?

Lower-tier climbers, whose climbs were slow due to the many necessities for growth, had much they wanted to purchase.

It was a means of bringing the future to buy the present, but the interest wasn’t at a crazy level, and with steady climbing, one could repay it.

And just by borrowing, even a small amount of interest would roll in, making it a structure where the Korean Tower earned money by doing nothing.

Running away without repaying? No climber would ever think they could escape after signing a contract with the 【Tower】.

Moreover, if you commit a crime, you’d end up in Adelheid’s gallery or an inescapable prison on the 3rd floor of Wakamou, so nobody would be mad enough to try.

[Korean Tower discusses the Legendary Class design!]

“I’m posting it on the gallery for suggestions on how to create it, so wait”

“[Is that even okay?]”

“Human malice comes from group intelligence, you see”

What kind of resentment is there against 【Legendary Class】 to make such a choice…

Wakamou, with a face full of sinister smiles, was wishing others would endure the same pain he experienced.

And his sly grin while thoroughly exempting his own 【Believers】, ensuring their happy lives, creating a new class of innocent otakus was sheer madness.

Seeing all sorts of experiences and advice already pouring into the gallery, Wakamou smiled contentedly.

“Hahaha….with one more besides the idols who take 70% of the compensation, Korean Tower’s property will be abundant, right?”

[Giggling with hamster-like teeth, Korean Tower laughs]

“Then─ it’s time to move to the next plan. Money must always be extracted artistically.”

Wakamou, in a magician’s outfit he wore from who knows when, showed his confidence, claiming to be the magician of psychology.

Saying there’s rhetoric capable of making even an onion seem like an apple, and when left to the professionals, nothing is impossible, he displayed his wealth.

Never losing money in stocks or Bitcoin, when everyone else was losing money in horse racing, it was Wakamou, the Emperor of racing, who was winning.

A beast with the heart of a feral child…!!

‘Where on earth is he planning to use the money he’s earning like this…?’

Inari Fox Deity was genuinely curious.

Looking off into the distance, what thoughts of purchase hovered over such vast amounts of money..!!

‘I should build a custom Uni computer and decorate it with Josedol limited edition keyboard and Stellamis keycaps. Wear a Virtual EN blanket cape, Empress’ Citizens T-shirt, Stellamis sweatshirt, and Josedol hoodie out.’

How much money would it take to buy all the limited-edition goods….

There was a time he lost everything in an accident and had to beg fans to repurchase it.

Someone like Wakamou could simply request the company for a custom fit purchase…..

But that needed a lot of money….. He’d have to invest so much that every member could enjoy a full 3D live concert without guilt for buying extras…!!

Wakamou too had a conscience!!!

Yes, Wakamou had an evil ambition to extort money from the Korean Tower to buy VTuber Goods!!

Wakamou tasted whiskey from a Märchen Sake Bomb on the rocks glass and spat it out for its lack of taste.

Tried to look cool, but the alcohol taste was unbearable!!

“[So what are you going to do next?]”

The Russian Tower Lord asked, and Wakamou tied a red band on his head.

To a nervous Korean Tower, wondering if it was what they feared, Wakamou reassured it wasn’t, and headed to the branch that issues tower coin loans.

“I.. I can’t live like this! … What kind of… nonsense, tyranny is this! Telling us to… borrow coins… without giving anything to repay! Let’s all… rise up!!!”

SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMGZtSXBJVzdEdHRDNDVzTFgyMDBPSw

It had a critical downside of being incredibly bad at lying and acting, but who says charisma doesn’t matter.

When Wakamou Inarizushi himself spoke, climbers turned their ears to what he had to say.

“I came to explain to my believers the risks and benefits of tower coin loans!!”

Starting from how far the loan limit should go to explaining that certain freedoms couldn’t be purchased with a loan, gaining trust.

He promised to extract an improved environment so that earning tower coins through efforts was possible, asking his believers to always trust Wakamou, who fought fiercely on their behalf, announcing he’d share books on class growth strategies separately bought with tower coins for the labor union representatives for all climbers here.

Thus, a 【Climber Class Growth Advice Center】 was established right next to the 【Tower Coin Loan Office】.

Among those who checked how to grow their classes, more climbers began taking tower loans after consulting Wakamou.

For those who were just at a loss regarding how to grow, the opportunity to glimpse possible growth routes was truly an eye-opener, leading more climbers to borrow tower coins to invest in themselves.

Of course, even then, Wakamou never forgot to warn about the risks of tower coin loans.

He advised climbers to beware after witnessing firsthand the hardships he faced from the treacherous Korean Tower.

Seeing such brazenness, Korean Tower thought, this guy, he even burnt his own house down and surpassed it.

Yes! Wakamou was the ultimate VTuber who completely obliterated the red tape!!

Claiming to be an idol and getting swallowed by that concept, he was a delusional psychopath(?)

A common man thinking he’s an idol, that was the real identity of Wakamou Inarizushi…!!!

“As the idol representing climbers!! Members of the Climber Union Association, rise up!!”

“””Let’s accomplish tower coin reform and achieve victory!!”””

“””Awaken those towers that discriminate and disdain front-runners!!”””

“””Fight to live humanely!”””

“Everyone! Who is your idol? For you, this Wakamou! I will directly confront the tower to create a new environment!”

“””””Wakamou! Wakamou! Wakamou!”””””

The towers trembled in fear, wondering if they had perhaps signed a contract with demons or Satan themselves.

The association president who incited the climbers to form a union and follow him was the mastermind behind this chaos.

Watching this with amusement and applause, seeing the Korean Tower, Inari Fox Deity wiped its face with its hand.

Leading the parade of demonstrating climbers, Wakamou entered the tower along with the welcoming Russian Tower Lord.

Receiving cheers and praises from the believers, assuring them to trust him, Wakamou, once inside, casually untied and tossed away his headband.

“Now, those gathered here might start wondering what I’m thinking…..let it go and it’ll work fine. But, inevitably, climbers irritated with the position requiring them to take tower coin loans will emerge. Even if they borrow costs─ is there a guarantee climbers will remain in the nation? You need to look at it long-term.”

“No, I mean, why are you so familiar with the behavior of towers?”

“[Er, excuse me, but are you sure you’re just a human?]”

“Shut up and listen. Right now, there’s a vacant land in Manchuria, yes? Recent improvements have made it possible for towers to allow free access to climbers and transformations like the Russian Tower. Wouldn’t it be possible to create a very, very big tower? If four countries combined forces, it wouldn’t be impossible, right?”

“[Eh─ difficult, right…? If China Tower deliberately builds─]”

“If we don’t have a tower, we just use an existing one?”

Wakamou grinned wickedly, pointing to the remnants of the 【Black Tower】 still remaining in Russia.

Then the towers belated realized, indeed, that could be considered a tower, and marveled in agreement.

Even the tutorial fairy was still functional, showing the level of preserved functionality.

In the meantime, the [East Asian Federation] retrieved [Black Tower] and moved it to the Manchu region.

Towers could take various forms─ Having personally climbed and experienced monsters from other countries’ towers could appear based on difficulty, Wakamou had directly experienced this.

It was a groundbreaking idea that only Wakamou, who had experienced various sorts from the bottom, could conceive.

In front of Wakamou, notification windows repeatedly appeared and disappeared.

[Korean Tower says it’s an opportunity to invest now! Becoming the owner of an estate is a chance to earn costs, it says!]

Yes, the grand plan was to turn an entire tower into a multinational tower.

The cost from the tier he invested in would become that of the tower.

Wakamou didn’t fully understand, but Korean Tower, running through high difficulties having experimented with various things, gave him a thumbs-up calling it his area of expertise.

If it had been as tangible as Tower Lord, he would have thrown a punch seriously.

The uproar quickly subsided─ seeing the plans Wakamou submitted, Towers across the Eurasian continent made the bold decision to borrow [Cost].

Among them were towers casting affirmative votes to step into the East Asian Federation.

Thus, in the Manchu area, the 【Dungeon Tower】 was born.

The tower, with a black and white appearance giving an Oreo-like feeling, used the structure from [Black Tower].

It divided levels, and bosses present on each level were to be defeated to ascend, using a strategy guide format while having a static dungeon difficulty level.

Free party formation was possible, and to increase difficulty, it implemented a roguelike system where it was easy to enter and exit, but ascending required starting from the very beginning.
The various national towers banded together, investing their costs to create themed layers, giving birth to an incredible new tower with 100 floors.

However, opening immediately was the choice of amateurs, so Wakamou once more gathered climbers and shouted.

“The tower has decided to create a new dungeon tower where you can obtain Tower Coins and monster drops, believers!!!”

“Yaaaaay!!!”

“[As a special privilege for the birth of the new [Dungeon Tower], low-interest loans and additional loans are available!! Loan festival only today!!]”

The Russian Tower Lord started business right beside Wakamou immediately.

Meanwhile, the Inari Fox Deity urged Asuka to promote the emergence of the [Dungeon Tower] worldwide.

With climbers from all over the world naturally gathering now—there were still many empty layers among the 100, as the Korean Tower chuckled cunningly.

[Korean Tower recommends that now is the time to borrow costs! Whispering to invest immediately with the borrowed funds!]

The structure of the [Black Tower] was reconfigured by dissecting and analyzing the towers attached to it in four directions. Recently, there were data about the [Past Tower], investigated for 11 years, following the collapse of the Vatican Tower. With the united effort of the towers, creating a new tower with the shell of the tower was not that difficult.

The project was a huge success in just three days.

“Huhuhu—Hahaha!!!”

[Ookikikik! Ookikikikek!!!]

Inside the top floor, a duo laughed wickedly while sipping wine.

Of course, neither of them actually drank wine because they couldn’t handle alcohol. It was just for the atmosphere.

They laughed like this thinking it made them seem more like sinister masterminds.

Borrowing costs, making climbers, volunteering to decorate layers in the tower; they laughed while watching the scene.

Below, receiving the trickle-down effect happily, the frontrunners gleefully held onto tower coins, laughing like babies with happiness! Happiness! While the latecomers aimed to repay and borrow more, growing quickly, they laughed satisfied.

“[To the Vatican Tower, fool!! You could have had an easy life if you chose the right side!!]”

The Russian Tower Lord was laughing happily, buried under the tower coins ripped off from climbers falling at the casino.

The Japanese Tower was eyeing the towers that borrowed tons of costs as prey, licking its lips, its belly ready to burst with laughter at the thought of slicing open the plump towers.

Meanwhile, the China Tower, trapped in a reflection room with a sign stating [I will not use VTubers], was wailing.

“Huhuhu….. The big hit always belongs to those who can see the flow.”

Naturally, climbing the tower repeatedly from the beginning is a significant ordeal.

Would climbers who only intend to earn Tower Coins ascend to the top floor?

The towers knew this, so they didn’t invest in the top floors, instead leaving it to the [East Asia Alliance] to fill those spots.

Wakamou placed the [Fragment of Babel] held by the Italian and Vatican Towers as a reward at the very top.

The golden, shining Vatican Tower being crushed was one of the rewards [Korean Tower] received for thwarting the evil plan.

Although Wakamou wanted to beg to restore his goods with it, he held back!!

Because who knows when it would be needed!!

And so it was being saved for future investments(?), being used for investment!!

The bigger picture was to make an omelet, not just a fried egg!!

Moreover, Wakamou talked with the Korean Tower and additionally purchased another [Fragment of Babel] from the Russian Tower using the earned [Tower Coins].

There were a whopping three sets of [Fragments of Babel] at the top floor of the [Dungeon Tower].

Rumors spread that it might even be able to bring the dead back to life, undoubtedly boosting climbers’ spirits.

Only the bosses, Dalki (Wakamou) and the Hundred-Faced Gold Demon (Wakamou), prepared by [Korean Tower], awaited from floors 97 to 100.

If they can climb, they can take it….

Next, there was an item, [Holy Grail of Wood], which could add functions to [Companion]…. Wakamou donated it to the President of Korean Association since there were many churches in Korea.

The President of Korean Association recalled Wakamou saying “Jesus said, away with idols!!” amidst fights and looked skeptically.

Then, after seeing the item description claiming to be genuine, he glanced once more at Wakamou.

Thus, Wakamou’s suspicious history grew.

To stop the recklessly charging duo, only [Mediator] could, but Wakamou wasn’t a fool.

He told the idle China Tower to give the gourmet experience.

“[Mediator, that—Wakamou Inarizushi has caught wind of someone investigating him and is trying to find out who it is… It’s recommended to stay here hiding for some time.]”

“Really…? The Korean Tower wouldn’t have said… Did the leak happen on the [Six Legged Beast] side? Should I lay low for a while?”

Drooling over the menu brought by the China Tower, the Mediator was deeply engrossed.

Naturally, all food was free for her!

And Wakamou had bribed members of [Six Legged Beast] to find out that she was crazy about food.

The Korean Tower had futilely attempted to get information in exchange for red pills and immediately betrayed.

No matter how much of a mediator, the Korean Tower couldn’t forgive anyone investigating the red pills.

Thus Wakamou safely sealed [Mediator] underground for a while and led the grand-scale project.

Since having two Fragments of Babel left would be useless, they were merged with a three-piece set.

[The [Tower of Babel] will be created in the Manchuria region of the Eurasian continent!!]

Though the name of the tower changed arbitrarily with a global announcement—none paid it any mind!!

Thanks to the good publicity, more climbers flocked to it.

Wakamou unknowingly kicked the ladder of [Black Towers], causing [Guardians] to cry out in despair.

Yet he was more concerned whether his goods would arrive properly.

Wealth·Fame·Power—Currently possessing everything in this world, the VTuber!

『Idol Wakamou Inarizushi』.

The single remark left towards numerous climbers directed climbers worldwide to the tower.

“You want [Tower Coins] and [Costs]! If you want them, I will give them…. Look well!! I’ve left them all at the top of the Tower of Babel!!!”

The world entered the era of major climbing.

More climbers, increased cost procurement by towers, rising climbers’ tower coin and drop acquisition──!!

Showcasing a miracle strategy, Wakamou fed the towers and climbers of the Eurasian continent.

As expected of an 【Idol】, a win-win structure for both tower and climber was established smoothly.

And amidst that, Wakamou and Korean Tower only gained “small profits.”

……

“Before I switched careers to an idol, to be honest. I was meant to earn money like this and play for a lifetime.”

[Korean Tower admires saying it’s truly different for a pro!]

Lying side by side on sunbeds, wearing sunglasses, and sipping a sweet and fresh drink, two troublemakers sunbathed.

Climbers formed parties to climb the Tower of Babel.

Among them also crawled the Korean President of Association and American President of Association, aiming to earn tower coins, creating a magnificent scene.

The harder they struggled, the more costs and tower coins these two troublemakers could earn.

“Easier than VTuber Broadcast!! Making money….!!”

[Korean Tower comments maybe they chose the wrong path]

“It’s your fault, buddy!”

[Korean Tower brushes it off with a laugh, saying it’s still fun, right?]

Wakamou, who even wrote a report for the soon-to-appear mediator, merely lay down again, telling them to handle it.

Meticulously leaving his name out of the report, Wakamou!!

It’s always wise to be prepared to cut ties and make off with the money if needed.

In this field, there’s no such thing as a permanent ally or foe…!!

Kirinuki… The world of wild Clippers….. Where the weak cannot survive!!

Where the strong evolve into VTubers, Wakamou genuinely proved to be a pro.

…..

“Waaaaaah!!!!”

Wakamou’s cries echoed mournfully after being utterly eliminated from the qualifiers due to a game like a dog.

The opponent, who intended to go easy to impress, sweated coldly at the abysmally weak skill showcased.

“With the deck I built with hard-earned money!!!”

The deck was OP, but the user was incompetent, hence eliminated…!!

During the busy period for climbers spurred by 【Tower of Babel】, a card tournament for [Normal People] was opened.

The tournament offered a 【Legendary Class】 as a prize to the victor.

With people thronging card shops to buy card packs and competing in the qualifiers, it was a chaotic scene.

Amidst the noise, Wakamou’s lamentations were the loudest.

“Damn, I don’t want to be the only ordinary! I want that class!!”

“Me too, me too”

Surprisingly, Mare Pirate and Adolf Lucia were participants too.

Pirate was now eyeing it since she regretted being the only ordinary class.

As for Lucia—Why became a curious question.

“I don’t know when the German Tower that took over Italy will Anschluss! They might strip my legendary class; hence, I’ll switch to another class and show Germany the wrath of an artist..!!”

“Hey…”

“Fuhuhu…Engineer… It’s finally ripe─★ At the gallery…in the very center….I’ll decorate with the soul of my art…!!”

“Let’s do our best! Yes!”

For reference, Joseph Khan was climbing the Babel Tower.

Yearning for fame, wanting to attract attention.

And because she wanted her 2nd album, which got instantly buried, to be successful.

Feeling pity for her, Pipkin Mami was climbing together.

Meanwhile, Hajime Ichigo summoned Cao Cao and Liu Bei for a Three Kingdoms broadcast.
