Chapter 150: Don't worry, bro, I've got my own rhythm

Don't you think your demands are too many? Where would you find a world that perfectly matches your whims?

Xia Na couldn't help but complain—she had never known that adding a new member to the group wasn't completely random, and that you could even set conditions.

And this person even demanded a world that matches his aesthetic—is that even possible?

Jia Ji glanced at the ignorant Xia Na and said, "What do you know, kid? The multiverse is infinite. Even a world where all the strong ones wear only tank tops and capes, and everyone's a muscular giant, can be found!" He never imagined he'd one day be called capricious by this bratty little girl.

He smoothed his messy hair and continued without looking up: "Since the Wan Hua Mirror has this ability, we might as well use it… This is called rational resource utilization!"

With a wave of his hand, Jia Ji let out a cackling laugh, eagerly anticipating what the Wan Hua Mirror would serve up next.

"Wait, if your theory is that the countless worlds are infinite, aren't you afraid of pulling someone you don't know?"

"Don't know? Ridiculous. Is there anyone the Information Jia Ji doesn't know? You're seriously underestimating me!"

"Wan Hua Mirror, draw me a card!!"

The energy bar he'd painstakingly filled vanished without a trace.

【"Snow Woman" has joined the group chat】

【Dead Angel: Welcome, new member】

【Forever Seventeen: Welcome, new member】

【Forever Seventeen: Wait, this nickname… Is the new member some kind of snow spirit? @Snow Woman】

She felt a joy of finding a kindred spirit—this group's cold treatment and bullying of non-humans had been too severe.

Angry and cold—when will Yaoguai ever rise up?

【Yin Yang Eyes Jian Zi: It's not a spirit, it's a Yaoguai, right? I've heard the legend of the Snow Woman too. Don't light novels often have "boy meets girl" plots? Supposedly, every Snow Woman resembles a human in form and appearance, with a naturally beautiful face and figure, and even if she eats endlessly, she never gains weight… So nice (＠_＠;)】

【Ice Queen: The new member seems to have an ability similar to mine】

【Lan Yuan Yan Zhu: Wow wow wow wow, a Yaoguai?! Will the new member eat children?】

【Chang Men Da Ming Shen: According to information gathered by the Information Synthesis Thought Body, there is no individual Yaoguai named "Snow Woman" on Earth】

No wonder Yagumo Shizu mistook the Snow Woman for a spirit—she probably hadn't even been born in her era, and the later Hundred Ghosts Parade was pure nonsense.

Even the East occasionally needs some zeroth-world-setting.

【Chang Men Da Ming Shen: According to the Information Synthesis Thought Body's investigation, there is no individual Yaoguai named "Snow Woman" on Earth】

【Forever Seventeen: Hmm, sounds like… the Snow Woman is just a fictional construct made to satisfy certain perverts' tastes. Wait, I'm not saying the Snow Woman is bad!】

"So who exactly is she?"

Xia Na asked curiously.

"Uh, this…"

Jia Ji fell silent for a moment. He'd wanted to shout at Xia Na, fiercely refute her doubts—but…

Wait, there are so many Snow Women in the anime world, more than I can count on one hand—how am I supposed to know which one?

Wan Hua Mirror, I think you're deliberately making things hard for me, Jia Ji.

"So you don't know, then?"

"Look, you're getting impatient again." Jia Ji, usually a bit unserious, now looked more serious. One hand kept fidgeting with his fingers, the other tapped rhythmically against his forehead.

He searched his mind at super-speed, his consciousness diving like a fish from shallow waters into the deep, endlessly flipping through every piece of information.

"Let me think… don't worry, I've got my own rhythm." Jia Ji frowned at the group chat interface, pausing in thought.

First, eliminate the Snow Woman from Qin Shi Ming Yue—our beautiful girl Wan Hua Mirror has its own style; it wouldn't go that route.

Next, eliminate the ring Snow Woman—yeah, it's Rexue and orthodox (questionable), but the art style is clearly wrong.

What's left are the major Yaoguai worlds…

"Let me test her."

A typical love-struck Yaoguai like the Snow Woman would do only a few things—either she's in school, or dating, or dating while in school.

【Da Meng Shen: Sister @Snow Woman, do you know Aoki Tsukune? Nuegami Rikuo? Iwana Kotoko?】

No response.

Whether from others or from him, his messages sank like stones into the ocean, receiving no reply.

【Da Meng Shen: Could it be Enya Meisuke?】

Under Xia Na's increasingly suspicious gaze, Jia Ji sweated profusely, finally dredging up an obscure name from a forgotten corner of his memory—"Hell Teacher!"

"Hell Teacher," also called "Spiritual Teacher Shen Mei," does have a matching art style—orthodox and Rexue —but its combat power seems low. If he unleashed a single Palm Wave, he could easily obliterate even the Great Demon sealed by Enya Meisuke's Ghost Hand.

Still no response. Not that one either.

【Xia Na: What's the new member's name? @Snow Woman… don't worry, we're all good people, no need to be afraid…*】

"Wait, how could you possibly find out that easily? Didn't I just—" Jia Ji's fingers had just begun waving in front of him when his expression shattered.

【Snow Woman: My name is… Yuki, Yuki-na】

"Wait, this is allowed?"

Jia Ji was stunned—he realized he'd fallen into a misconception. He should've realized earlier: some Snow Women never went to school!

At the same time, he recalled the worldview tied to this name. Jia Ji's pupils contracted slightly—it matched his requirements perfectly.

"Who cares about this or that—asking the new member's name is basic etiquette!" Xia Na now radiated an aura of 195 cm, while Jia Ji felt as if he'd shrunk a head shorter before her.

"Fine, you're right this time." Jia Ji quickly regained his composure, showing not a trace of embarrassment, and sent his next question to the new member.

【Da Meng Shen: Have you found your brother yet?】

Although Snow Women's names are usually tied to ice or snow—like Bing Li Xue Ji—Yuki-na sounds like a vegetable, yet it does exist.

That is—the early part of "Yu Yu Hakusho," where the protagonist plays mind games in the human world, then later enters the Demon World and becomes a powerhouse who destroys everything, matching both art style and era, with the power inflation arc feeling painfully familiar—a classic Rexue shonen manga!
