Everyone from Otaku Translation

[With your outstanding eloquence and acting skills, your fabricated persona, “The Poor Worker Who Despises Money,” successfully warped Golden Wealth-Exchanging Toad’s perception of the world, utterly destroying its foundation for existence. You have unlocked the Silver Badge "Elite Performer."]

[Performer: A brilliant script, an appropriate stage, and you are all that's needed to deliver an extraordinary performance.]

[Equip Effect: Thanks to your exceptional dialogue and acting prowess, when performing, you can seamlessly embody and closely resemble your character, making your portrayal incredibly convincing.]

[Upgrade Path: After delivering ten captivating performances in a grand theater with over two thousand spectators and receiving approval from ninety percent of them, this badge will automatically upgrade to the Gold Badge "Master Performer." Current Progress: 0/10]

[Hidden Attribute (No Need to Equip): An outstanding performer stands out like a firefly in the dark, no matter where they are. Your charisma has significantly increased.]

"..."

Although it was directly a Silver Badge, it seemed rather useless?

After reviewing the effects of the "Elite Performer," Leon sighed in disappointment, having hoped for something like a "Sacred Spirit Nemesis" badge. He then glanced at his badge panel.

[Materialist Soul (Red)]

[Martyr of the Wine Realm (Gold)]

[Friend of Demons (Silver)], [Elite Performer (Silver)]

[Marksman (Bronze)], [Reliable Older Brother (Bronze)]

[Unemployed Youth (Iron)], [Probationary Worker (Iron)], [Parkour Novice (Iron)]

So far, he had acquired nine badges, but only had five slots available.

The [Materialist] badge permanently occupied one slot, while the fear-dispelling [Wine Realm] took another. The remaining three slots were filled by [Demon], which enhanced anomalous item effects; [Marksman], which boosted shooting abilities; and [Probationary Worker], which directly increased work efficiency.

The equally useful [Parkour] badge had to be set aside due to the full slots, to be equipped only when navigating complex terrains. This newly acquired [Performer] badge would likely face the same fate, relegated to the badge vault gathering dust...

Hmm... Fortunately, apart from badges, he had other rewards.

Glancing at the colossal toad, even though it lay in pieces, its size was still impressive. Leon's mood brightened as he reached out to touch the toad's massive skull.

[Encounter... Materialist... Information]

[Name: Sacred Spirit Remnants (?, ?)]

[Appearance: Shattered giant toad corpse]

[Ability: ?]

[Cost: ?]

[Record: After suffering extreme cognitive shattering, unable to bear concepts such as money, currency, dominion, and trade, the Sacred Spirit collapsed into a corpse. It cannot be used until repaired.]

[Evaluation: Exceptional material for crafting powerful anomalous items, provided excellent auxiliary materials and correct methods are used.]

[Contamination Value: ?]

Indeed, this thing held immense potential.

Satisfied with the [Materialist] analysis, Leon nodded approvingly.

Though dying to a verbal barrage might seem somewhat pathetic, the golden toad was indeed a Sacred Spirit-level entity, and any anomalous item crafted from it would undoubtedly be extraordinary.

Moreover, according to Cleansing Bureau rules, as the one who personally... or rather, verbally defeated the opponent, upon completing recovery and submission, Leon had absolute first claim on the resulting anomalous item.

Even if the final product didn’t suit him, he could exchange it for other usable items, much like the Witch’s Broom. Thus, despite the extreme danger, the rewards were equally substantial...

...

"Kid. I’m over here."

Having waited long enough without seeing Leon approach, instead finding him lingering beside the shattered toad, the black goat, buried under a pile of gold coins, strained its neck to call out:

"Hurry up. Stop fondling that toad and come dig me out already."

Leon followed the voice and dug for a while through the half-collapsed mountain of gold coins until he unearthed the buried goat head.

Upon regaining freedom, the black goat, observing Leon who appeared almost unscathed save for some torn clothes, exclaimed excitedly:

"Quick, quick, tell me. How did you win?"

"You heard everything, didn’t you? I just chatted with it about worldviews, life philosophies, values, and it realized its perception of the world was skewed, so it collapsed… By the way, will these people be alright?"

Not wanting to reveal the badge system to the black goat, and too embarrassed to portray himself as a saint indifferent to wealth, Leon vaguely brushed off the question. Rising, he surveyed the plaza filled with unconscious people, asking worriedly:

"I remember that although the earlier influence wasn’t long, many were affected by the toad’s ability, aging considerably. Can what was taken from them be restored? Also, when the toad started spewing gold coins, many passed out and haven’t woken up yet..."

"Oh, not waking up is a good thing." After Leon lifted the goat higher to survey the shopping plaza, it responded nonchalantly: "After you provoked it, the toad, desperate to buy you, retracted the money given to these people, returning the forcibly purchased lives. See? The gold coins previously sent to them have disappeared, proof that the toad canceled the transaction. As for why they collectively fainted... Having their lives abruptly bought and then violently returned would make anyone faint."

Having answered Leon’s questions, the still puzzled black goat fixed its gaze on him, eyes unwavering: "Kid, don’t try to fool me. That toad didn’t know you well enough to be deceived, but I do. You endured over an hour of foot odor rather than spend a couple extra copper coins on a standard cabin ticket. Someone as miserly as you couldn’t possibly resist the allure of money. Tell me honestly. Did that red-haired woman give you some protective... Holy crap, dodge. Dodge quickly."

Dodge? Could the toad possibly revive?

Alerted by the black goat, Leon tensed, swiftly turning back. However, the toad’s fragments remained stationary—no resurrection for the golden toad—but...

The mountain of gold coins collapsed.

In this small landslide, an immeasurable number of metal coins surged toward him like a golden flood.
