He felt that his proud theory of cold, gray exchange of interests behind all interpersonal relationships was crushed in the face of the pure, irrational, and overwhelming money displayed in the sky.
"……really."
“Our previous reasoning has been completely overturned from its very foundation.”
"Any rational businessman, or any normal human being."
"It's impossible to use 'scrap' worth 540 million to win over a low-level lumberjack who only earns a mere 1,000 a month."
"This makes absolutely no sense of business logic or behavioral logic."
"so……"
“That Mr. Li’s behavior toward Bald Qiang was not the ‘exploitation’ and ‘use’ that we previously thought.”
"Or is it a kind of 'giving' that we completely cannot understand, full of contradictions, disregarding all costs, and is one-sided?"
"Could it be... like Hayama and his group, a group we can never fit into?"
"Is this a special form of expressing 'friendship' unique to a higher circle that we cannot understand?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's face was filled with extreme shock and confusion. Her usually insightful and brilliant mind was completely frozen at this moment.
"Wow……"
"Five hundred million...that...that could buy so many of the latest limited edition handbags..."
"so……"
"We've all misunderstood Mr. Li from the very beginning?"
"He...he was actually very, very good to Mr. Baldy?"
"So good that she'd be willing to spend so much money on him?"
Yui Yuigahama wore an expression that was both shocked and somewhat pleased. She was glad that the truth of the matter did not seem as cold and cruel as Hikigaya and Yukinoshita had previously analyzed.
The terrifying power of the 67th Black Pot Hero: shattering a beautiful pine tree with a single punch! Absolutely terrifying!
That day, Bald Qiang had just returned to his dilapidated little wooden house.
He then noticed a huge express package, sent by Boss Li, sitting alone by the door.
He carried the heavy package into the house with some difficulty.
Just then, his shrill phone rang precisely on time: "Bald Qiang, did you receive the new package I sent you?"
Bald Qiang quickly replied, "Oh, it's Boss Li? Received it, received it, just brought it inside."
Mr. Li said in a boastful tone, "Let me tell you, this is my latest logging equipment invention, it's high-tech!"
Upon hearing this, Bald Qiang excitedly opened the huge package.
But he discovered that inside was just an ordinary, dark-colored iron pot.
The world of Grand Blue
"puff--".
"What a joke."
"Just... just this one thing, it looks exactly the same as that iron pot in my kitchen, the one my mom has used for over twenty years, so black you can barely see the bottom?"
"The sky says it... it's worth five hundred million?"
Kitahara Iori looked at the ordinary black pot that Bald Qiang had taken out of the box on the sky and revealed an expression full of absurdity and extreme mockery.
"really."
"This must be fake."
He felt his intelligence being pressed to the ground by this unreasonable sky, repeatedly and mercilessly trampled upon.
"wait wait wait……"
"Maybe...maybe it has some hidden special function that we don't know about?"
"For example... dishes cooked with it can instantly give a person the alcohol tolerance of the sea god?"
"Or... is it actually a 'Pot Alien' hiding among the people, capable of transforming into a giant combat robot?"
Kohei Imamura wore a bewildered expression, trying hard to find a reasonable explanation for the situation, but the more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.
"...No, that's impossible no matter how you look at it."
"Five hundred million for this broken pot?"
"Is that Mr. Li so rich that he doesn't know what to do with all his money?"
"……I see."
"This pot will surely be able to automatically brew the world's finest and purest 'water of life' (96% pure spirit)."
A muscular senior standing nearby gave him a look of sudden realization.
"To be able to buy this kind of amazing artifact that can refill cups indefinitely with a mere 500 million yuan."
"That Mr. Li really made a fortune."
He revealed an expression full of envy and admiration, having found, in his view, the only reasonable and greatest value for this pot.

The World of Five Spirits Piggy Hero
"strangeness……"
"really weird……"
"This black pot looks really ordinary."
"It's exactly the same as the one in our kitchen at home."
Piggy Hero looked at the sky, revealing an expression full of pure, childlike confusion.
"Is it really worth 500 million?"
"Could it be that the sky screen made a mistake?"
"Yes."
"It doesn't look like anything valuable at all."
"There's nothing on top either, it's inlaid with sparkling diamonds."
"Nor does it shine brightly like our Five Elements Lock..."
"This must be a scam."
Feifei also showed a suspicious expression.
"Um……"
"Judging from its appearance, its material seems to be just ordinary, high-carbon, and most common cast iron..."
“Structurally, there are no hidden, special mechanisms or energy circuits that we are unaware of…”
"It's weird..."
"Too strange."
The confused teacher revealed an expression characteristic of inventors when faced with a mysterious, extraordinary object that defies any reasonable explanation using their scientific theories—an expression filled with bewilderment and a thirst for knowledge.
"Could it be that its value lies in something we can't see, something deeper, like a 'concept' or 'rule'?"
"For example, is it a pot that is based on the 'law of cause and effect' so that nothing will stick to the pot no matter what you cook?"
"Oh dear, I just can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out."
He felt that his brain was about to turn into a complete mess because of this pot full of mysteries.
Bald Qiang scratched his bald head, looking puzzled, and asked, "This...this is just an ordinary pot, isn't it? What kind of high-tech stuff is this, Boss Li?"
Mr. Li replied impatiently, "What do you know? I spent a fortune buying this equipment from overseas. This time, you're going to cut down at least two hundred trees for me."
After leaving those words, he hung up the phone directly and decisively.
Bald Qiang looked at the black pot in his hand and sighed helplessly.
Then he began to carefully examine the seemingly ordinary black pot.
Just then, he noticed that there seemed to be a piece of paper inside the empty delivery box.
That was a folded instruction manual.
He had just taken that thin instruction manual out of the box.
A sudden gust of mountain wind blew the instruction manual away, and he cried out in alarm, running out the door to chase after it.
Meanwhile, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who had been secretly observing from the window, seized the opportunity to slip into the house.
They also took the opportunity to quietly remove the black pot from the table.
[When Bald Qiang finally managed to retrieve the instruction manual that had been blown far away, and returned to his room, panting heavily.]
He discovered that the room was completely empty, and the black pot had vanished without a trace.
He immediately flew into a rage and chased after the two damned bears towards the forest.
He even set a clever trap to try and capture them.
Ultimately, he succeeded in using a trap to knock Xiong Da unconscious.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Er immediately picked up the huge black pot and used it as a weapon to fight with Bald Qiang.
But that's also perfect, happening unintentionally amidst the chaotic fighting.
[This triggered a hidden, red transformation button on the black pot.]
[For a fleeting moment, the black pot flashed with an extremely dazzling, blinding white light.]
The next second, Bald Qiang was completely covered by a set of extremely sturdy-looking black armor with a metallic texture.
Looking at his new, powerful appearance, Bald Qiang excitedly shouted, "Ha! Black Pot Hero!"
The World of Eromanga Sensei
"I knew it."
"I knew it. That mysterious black pot that Tianmu valued at 500 million yuan could not possibly be just an ordinary pot."
Yamada Elf looked at the bald Qiang covered in handsome black armor on the sky and revealed an expression full of ecstasy and "just as I expected".
"Transformation."
"It's actually a high-tech transformation device that can put armor on people in an instant."
"Look at the design of that armor; it's full of metallic texture and a sense of power."
"And that name, 'Black Pot Hero'."
"He's so...cool."
She felt that this story, full of unexpected charm, was more exciting and thrilling than any of her bestselling novels.
"……I see."
"The 'black pot' may not refer to the pot itself."
"Does it refer to the heavy 'fate' that Bald Qiang, after donning this seemingly invincible armor, will have to bear, the 'Black Pot Hero'?"
Senju Muramasa, standing to the side, wore a thoughtful expression. She began to analyze the name of this metaphorical transforming hero from a deeper, more literary perspective.
"...Is it nanotechnology?"
"Or is it... some kind of advanced space-folding technology that we've only ever seen in science fiction novels?"
"A seemingly ordinary iron pot can disintegrate in a mere instant, and then be reconstructed into a set of sophisticated armor that can perfectly cover an adult's entire body..."
"This technology and this kind of imagination are completely beyond the limited comprehension of a mere light novel writer like myself!"
Izumi Masamune wore an expression of utter shock. He felt that his creative imagination, which he was quite proud of, was utterly pale and powerless in the face of the truly illogical "super black technology" displayed on the sky screen.
