Very spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen plenty of Hollywood blockbusters, though all were pirated downloads—he’d never spent a penny at a theater—but that didn’t hinder his understanding of such sci-fi plots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, present-day Lu Mingfei can travel to other worlds; this god who resurrected him, Su Shengguang Lin, also came from another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh ho ho, time-travel drama, isekai—not bad. He liked those too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the future Lu Mingfei wanted to build a harem for his past self and conquer the world, but his brother, the Supreme, and present-day Lu Mingfei disagreed, so they recruited three allies from other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now both sides are about to fight, so they resurrected him early to join the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world changed too fast; this old dragon couldn’t keep up with the times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conquering the world wasn’t incomprehensible to a dragon’s dominant mindset, especially since this world had once been under the Supreme’s control, and He had the power to reclaim it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this business of falling in love with humans…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, it felt absurd—even though as Ronald Tang he loved watching bikini girls, it didn’t stop Norton from finding this whole thing bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could a Dragon King really fall in love with a human and want to have human babies…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one involved? The Supreme, the pinnacle of dragonkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this opponent?” Old Tang felt the ramen was too salty; imitating Old Lu’s eating style, he had Su Lin translate and ask the owner for a bowl of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morax, or Zhongli—a retired Earth God, now the Geo Archon and an immortal; Xiao Yan—a rejected-hero protagonist who can craft mushrooms and carries a grandfather as a power-up; Kleine Moretti—a semi-god of the weird, similar to Cthulhu-style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After translating, Su Lin said to Old Tang: “Oh, by the way, I’m actually on their side too—but I won’t join direct combat. Maybe, perhaps. After all, my deal with Lu Mingze doesn’t include this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this fellow here is still my employer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn…” Old Tang scooped up a bite of rice. “Your crew’s got some complicated elements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many tropes did you cram in?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin thought carefully. “Not that many.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why’s the Archon also an immortal? Is he from the Sino-Western hybrid department too?” Old Tang felt other worlds really had everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Give me a phone and add me to the group. I’ll take my enhanced half-breeds as vanguard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That McCullen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, that guy really ate his own brother, and now he’s eyeing me and Constantine. This debt needs settling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang’s eyes glinted with icy killing intent—he’d been scheming since awakening early, dragging them all into his plans, and now he wanted to devour Constantine’s dragon bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fiend must be slain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush,” Old Lu finished his rice soaked in broth and wiped his lips. “Wait until your sister awakens. I’ve got a few things to handle these next few days—Su Lin will keep you company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jörmungandr.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She hasn’t awakened yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She woke up, then cocooned again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the ramen, at the entrance of a mall, Old Tang shook his eyebrows while holding a new iPhone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect another upgrade—and the price went up too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll add you to the QQ group,” Su Lin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.” Even in other worlds there was QQ? This guy seemed awfully familiar with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Golden Core Initiation Light God】 requests to add you as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang rubbed his eyes, confirmed he hadn’t misread, then glanced at Su Lin—the East Asian face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Su Lin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you guys all do this?” He pointed at the phone screen’s ID: “You into cultivation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not about trends—I really am a Golden Core cultivator,” Su Lin replied, then added: “Want to see my flying sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang understood, at least a little, about diversified development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragon King of Bronze and Fire, Norton】 joined 【Beloved Family】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragon King of Bronze and Fire, Norton】: Hello, oh hi, howdy—who came up with this stupid group name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Supreme】: I did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragon King of Bronze and Fire, Norton】: So tacky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-breeds watching the messages dared not speak, their minds filled with doubt—wasn’t Norton already defeated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Ronald Tang. These are the people I mentioned earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhongli.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Klein Moretti.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Norton—you can also call me Ronald Tang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, Su Lin said he was going out for late-night snacks, and Ronald Tang followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pleasure to meet you!” Klein strode forward and warmly shook Old Tang’s hand. “Have you eaten?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect, neither have I. Want to grab a couple of beers later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Su Lin saw Klein, he felt something was off—how to put it? No matter what Klein said or did, he always wore the demeanor of a kind, gentle man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the group chat, he’d occasionally agree: “That’s right,” “Makes sense,” “Learned something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he always like this? This behavior—smoothly navigating human society, high emotional intelligence, getting along with everyone—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin looked at Zhongli and Xiao Yan, pointed at Klein, and asked: “Has he been unusually warm toward you lately? Compared to before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Klein stiffened his spine but maintained his cheerful facade using the Clown and Faceless Man’s abilities, chatting casually with Old Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli thought for a moment. “Come to think of it, he paid for everything during our afternoon shopping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan added: “Even though it was all Lu Mingze’s money, he dragged us to karaoke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin stepped closer to Klein, eyes filled with mockery, studying the bookish, harmless-looking youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re about to ascend to Sainthood, huh? Little Su offers his congratulations in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, you’re too kind—it’s still far off, very far off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When’s the promotion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.” Klein, seeing the situation, answered honestly: “Probably this month—the potion’s nearly digested.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given our relationship, wouldn’t it be easy for you to pull a historical projection?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just want to raise the success rate—fifty percent versus ninety-nine percent makes a big difference in battle,” Klein said, glancing at Old Tang, who looked utterly confused. “And adding more characters to the gacha pool wouldn’t hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","80edf2ddc856b02d68afffd164644e3359e804ca9cdfbe01d3b79b4dec7c0444","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-101","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-99",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
