"Yes, this is one of my collectibles," Ryuto said, pointing to a necklace with a large green gemstone in his hand.

"One of your collectibles...?" The man's eyes widened, surprising himself that eyes could widen so much. Today was indeed eye-opening; the power of money truly is immense.

While thinking this, Ryuto remained nonchalant. "I enjoy making friends and I also value my friends dearly. Every time I make a new friend, I give them one of my collectibles as a token of friendship."

"Giving it away...?"

"Well, even though this is indeed very valuable, compared to friends, especially true friends, this is nothing. Friends are the most important to me because I understand how difficult and precious it is to find a kindred spirit. Friends are not only important resources but also valuable assets. Money is not the most important thing in life; only true friends are. After all, you can always earn money again if you lose it, but once you lose a true friend, you can never find them again. Friends are to be cherished, not used as resources."

"Are you giving it to me...?"

"Of course, giving my collectible does not mean bribery. It's just to show my sincerity. Since I'm not good with words, I prefer to prove myself through actions. Talking big is useless; actions speak louder."

With that, Ryuto extended the gemstone necklace towards the man. "Really giving it to me...?"

Perhaps happiness came too suddenly. Even after receiving it, the bespectacled man still couldn't believe it, but he didn't refuse to accept it. While he said so, his body remained obedient.

"Brother... what about mine?" The man who had been silent finally spoke up hesitantly.

Of course, it wasn't out of nervousness but excitement. After all, there seemed to be a fool giving away money on the street. Well, at least that's how they perceived it.

"Huh? Are we friends?"

"Of course, my good brother, we have been good friends for many years."

"Is that so...?" They just met for the first time, right? And the sudden change in attitude was even more... Although it was worth ridiculing, Ryuto decided to ignore it.

"Let's talk about that later. I just arrived, my luggage is at the hotel, and I only brought this."

"That's fine, brother. After we're done, I'll accompany you back, let's check out where my brother is staying."

"Is that so...?" Ryuto could only respond with a wry smile.

This friend is truly enthusiastic, caring about where I stay even though we've only just met. It's truly touching; I'll definitely vote you as one of the top ten touching individuals in the country.

Where can I find such a good person? Although I'm not sure if what he's saying is true.

"Since that's the case, let's get started quickly," the man urged Ryuto.

Hmm? I don't remember submitting my application to join yet. Did I already become a member?

Indeed, he's a good brother! Administrator privileges sure are something.

"Oh... alright." Due to the other person being overly enthusiastic, Ryuto felt a bit awkward.

Thus, with half the membership fee paid and the other half owed, the group began their game.
