Before transmigration, I was nearly thirty; after, I returned to age twenty-three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So isn’t that just reincarnation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—it’s transmigration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin’s memories before transmigration differed slightly from those after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this world, I studied civil engineering in college, and after graduation, I quit my job after barely any time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei nodded. The experiences of everyone in this group were anything but ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard you used a watch to take Luffy back two years—can I see it?” Xiao Yan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin pulled out the [Zokot’s Linear Pocket Watch] from his system inventory and handed it to Xiao Yan; everyone examined the time-travel artifact with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just an ordinary watch,” Xiao Yan muttered, turning it over in his hands, unable to detect anything unusual, then passed it along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A one-use item.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing doesn’t match your sect’s aesthetic at all,” Ye Fan remarked pointedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh.” Su Lin smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just treat these as my transmigration bonuses—like Xiao Yan’s ring with the old grandpa, Han Li’s little green vial, or Kleine’s Source Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you also the guy with a wish-granting little brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, your transmigration bonus is kinda complicated,” Lu Mingfei muttered, suddenly finding his meat less tasty—he now vaguely wanted to transmigrate himself; maybe he’d get a newbie gift pack too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Lu Mingfei,” Su Lin changed the subject to redirect attention—when new members upload works related to him, others will naturally find out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you decided yet? What’s your plan for the future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For over a month, Lu Mingfei had spent every day either cultivating or pondering what to do next—he’d considered reaching Nascent Soul before returning, then wandering through the various worlds of the group members first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that idea was clearly unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After I go back, I’m going to confront my little bastard brother—I feel he wouldn’t harm me,” Lu Mingfei ran his fingers through his hair. “Then… I’ll figure out how to save Himeari.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So basically, no plan at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is destined, once known, must be cherished—leave no regrets,” Zhong Li said slowly, pinching a petal from the table. Many years ago, he and his comrades-in-arms had gathered just like this, drinking fine wine and sharing fine food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dao numbers fifty; Heaven’s evolution yields forty-nine; one escapes. All things retain a glimmer of hope—no need to rush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emiya Shirou nodded, comforting Lu Mingfei: “With the chat group’s help and knowledge of the future’s general direction, there’s no reason we’ll fare worse than the stories in the books.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emiya Shirou had long resolved to bring about an ending where everyone could be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t save all the countless timelines of Type-Moon—but at least in this timeline…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll protect everything in this worldline!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illya clapped beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan nodded in agreement, smiling confidently: “I will suppress all enemies under heaven—this time, there will be no dark chaos!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well said!” Xiao Yan strongly agreed. In his original timeline, he’d become the Flame Emperor; now that he knew the future, his gaze should turn toward the even vaster Grand World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My every moment is spent preparing to resurrect my master and cleanse my sect—quelling the Ping Hun Clan’s rebellion, shattering the heavens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kleine pondered—the logic made sense, but would his actions actually make the future worse? For instance, he might have become the Sequence 0 Fool, captured Amon, and gathered the Uniqueness—but what if his meddling caused him one day to suddenly wear a monocle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surviving the apocalypse counts as success.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere fell suddenly quiet; Su Lin cleared his throat and took over the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, Lu Mingfei, work hard—aim to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin clinked his drink against Lu Mingfei’s: “I’m looking forward to the live broadcast of the Tokyo Love Story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tease me…” Lu Mingfei offered a smile worse than crying: “You know damn well—it’s all just my little bastard brother’s twisted sense of humor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And besides Herzog, there are guys like Mr. McCallen—this is too hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If only we had a Doraemon in the group—I’d borrow his If Phone Booth,” Lu Mingfei muttered, sipping his cola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doraemon, If Phone Booth—what are those?” Zhong Li asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A childhood cartoon character for many kids in this era…” Most present knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emiya Shirou, of course—his country’s pillar industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Su Lin, Lu Mingfei, and Zhou Mingrui were all 80s and 90s kids who’d watched this anime on TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…” Han Li and Zhong Li, upon hearing this, felt humanity’s imagination was truly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But who can say the multiverse won’t someday truly include a Doraemon? After all, to people from other worlds, aren’t we just fictional beings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed,” Han Li sighed. “To the universe, planets are like grains of sand in a river—perhaps countless worlds are the same.” But now, he was merely a late Golden Core cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who wouldn’t want a Doraemon?” Su Lin himself wanted one—he’d wished for one on his elementary school birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Munch munch, time machine,” Luffy gnawed on chunks of meat—the sea king’s skin, roasted by the Strange Fire, was crispy outside and tender inside, flavored with spices in a unique way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—Su Lin is basically a Doraemon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He brought me back to the past.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin replied flatly: “Yeah, but it was a one-time thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1019,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7f5d58daa7b99c5476445bc462ccb7593769530b8d2e598e500b46b30b5bf35e","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-44","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-42",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
