Chapter 10: Is This Trying to Drag People Into Trouble?
Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "..."
This old man is Hou Jue: "..."
Who the hell said I retired.
Tony Is Not the Richest: "I'm the richest one, dammit! After watching Iron Man 1, my current key project is building an Iron Man armor! The outside world is too dangerous these days—I need to keep a low profile."
For Tony Stark, a carefree young master, to settle down quietly was enough to show just how deeply Iron Man 1 had impacted his heart.
However, this was understandable. The memory copy uploaded by Su Han wasn't like ordinary people watching a TV drama. It placed you right inside the experience.
It was as if you stood beside the events, a bystander watching everything unfold before your eyes.
Therefore, for Tony Stark, finishing Iron Man 1 was equivalent to having personally lived through all those events.
Although the emotional impact from the memory copy still fell short of actual firsthand experience, he had already begun pondering the meaning of his own existence.
His decision to start building the Iron Man armor clearly demonstrated this—he had made up his mind, gradually aligning himself with the future Iron Man, one of the two pillars of the Avengers.
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "@Peaceful Symbol, @Kasumi Shiko, @My Little Sister Is Extremely Unlovable, quickly report your real names! You might just obtain your future from the Guild Master within this guild."
Watching this scene, Su Han couldn't help but smile. But in the next moment, a soft voice suddenly rang beside his ear.
"Ding! Set automatic invitation for suitable candidates when conditions are met?"
Su Han frowned. After thinking for a moment, he understood—it meant that if he enabled the setting, he wouldn't need to manually send invitations; anyone meeting the criteria would automatically be invited into the guild from across myriad worlds.
After some thought, Su Han clicked "Set." He didn't see it as a big issue—after all, a guild should be lively with more members. Even if he had to send invites himself, he'd eventually spend resources anyway; he certainly wouldn't hope for fewer people.
Peaceful Symbol: "Can you really know my future? Do you have a special ability like Nighteye?... No, that's not the point! What exactly qualified me for entry? Was it some unique personality trait, or perhaps technology?"
Kasumi Shiko: "..."
Kasumi Shiko: "Looks like I've stumbled into a truly extraordinary world! A chat guild suddenly appearing in my mind? A super guild spanning infinite worlds?"
Peaceful Symbol: "???"
Peaceful Symbol: "What 'super guild spanning infinite worlds'? Young man, since you're still young, you should bravely burst forth and shine with youthful passion! Don't dwell on such intangible things! Only by unleashing passion can one reveal the meaning of life and achieve true value!"
My Little Sister Is Extremely Unlovable: "...Can someone please explain what's going on? Why did this thing suddenly appear in my head? A game guild? A cross-dimensional game guild? Looks like I've gotten involved in something serious..."
Kasumi Shiko: "You brainless insects, didn't any of you think to check the guild description the instant you joined? Or is it that you never use your brains normally, so even in unexpected situations your reaction speed remains painfully slow? If that's true, then getting crushed would indeed be well-deserved."
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "Once, someone joined this guild believing everything was fake! So he went wild, until one day he realized the guild's true nature—and regretted bitterly... If heaven granted him another chance, I'm sure he wouldn't have provoked that Demon King so fiercely back then?"
Kasumi Shiko: "@Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat, could that bitterly regretful person be you?"
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "How could it be me! I'm a fallen angel! Regret doesn't exist for me. The one who should regret is @Tony Is Not the Richest—this guy started insulting everyone the moment he entered, even provoked the Demon King. That old Demon King said he'd love to have a good chat with Mr. Richest. Luckily the guild hasn't opened inter-member travel channels yet, otherwise... hahaha..."
Su Han gazed at the guild chat interface. After a moment of contemplation, he roughly deduced that Kasumi Shiko must be Kasumigaoka Shiina from *The Everyday Life of a High School Romance*. As for Peaceful Symbol, judging by the name and her personality, she was definitely All Might.
As for My Little Sister Is Extremely Unlovable... emmmm, same as before—the information revealed was too little to figure out anything.
Su Xiao: "Let me confirm again—@Peaceful Symbol, you're All Might! @Kasumi Shiko, you're Kasumigaoka Shiina. I understand the first two identities, but @My Little Sister Is Extremely Unlovable, who are you? Haruhiro Yu? Doesn't seem like it..."
Su Han felt slightly conflicted—after all, in the works he'd seen in his previous life, brother-love themed stories weren't rare at all.
My Little Sister Is Extremely Unlovable: "G-Guild Master?! Looks like a truly incredible figure has appeared... ahaha... Though I'm a bit nervous, if you're the one who invited us, knowing our names should be natural, right?"
Su Xiao: "..."
Tony isn't the richest man: "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter... Chairman, never thought you'd get roasted like this! Tsk tsk, speaking of which, the newcomer truly has courage. Could he be another fearsome figure like Old Man Demon King or Old Man Whitebeard?"
Black Cat of the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angels: "Wow... Mr. Richest! I find you quite wicked—maybe they were just asking out of curiosity! Could it be because you offended Mr. Mo Wang, so now you want to drag others down with you?"
Tony Stark Isn't the Richest: "I'm not! I'm not like that at all—how can you make things up like this?"
Su Han looked at the chat interface and couldn't help but chuckle. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Hu suddenly popped up.
Be My Son: "@Su Xiao. Sect Master, although I haven't finished watching all of *One Piece*, I already know the general plot leading up to the Summit War."
After reading Bai Hu's message, Su Han involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath.
It wasn't just Su Han—everyone else in the guild was shocked too.
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "Holy crap... Grandpa, you're way too strong! I've been watching it nonstop, but I'm still far from finishing the Summit War arc—I've only seen about 1/8 so far. How did you finish everything?!"
Tony Stark Isn't the Richest: "Unbeatable! When it comes to grinding, I, Tony Stark, hereby acknowledge you as the strongest."
Be My Son: "...You guys really don't know? There's a fast-forward button when watching memory copies, and you can skip around freely. If you just want the gist of things, it's pretty quick to get through."
Old Man Hou Jue: "This old man knows—that's how I watched it too, so I've finished. But that's not important. Young Bai Hu, what do you plan to do about your son Teach? Don't tell me you're waiting for Blackbeard to commit crimes before punishing him. If that's true, I'll laugh at you till my dying day."
Be My Son: "..."
As a legendary pirate from the previous century, Bai Hu was undoubtedly one of the most senior figures on today's seas. This was the first time anyone had ever called him "kid."
Still, Bai Hu didn't mind much. Who knew what bizarre characters were gathered in this guild? There might even be one or two ancient immortals here—being called "kid" wasn't such a big deal.
Su Xiao: "Blackbeard Teach is absolutely someone who must not be underestimated! If possible, it's best to eliminate him early. In fact, Old Man Bai Hu, even if you act against Blackbeard now, if you don't go all-out immediately, he might still manage to escape."
Su Xiao: "After all, Blackbeard is someone capable of injuring Red-Haired Shanks—one of the Four Emperors who stands on equal footing with you—even without the Dark-Dark Fruit back then. A man this patient and calculating—who knows what kind of strength he truly possesses at this stage?"
Kashi Koishi: "Wait, what are you all even talking about? What are the Four Emperors? And what's with Blackbeard and Whitebeard?"
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "If you want to understand what's going on, I suggest checking the memory copy folder in the guild files. Once you watch those, you'll know everything. Those memory copies were uploaded by the Guild Master—they reveal our futures."
My Little Sister Is Utterly Unlovable: "Wait a second? Are you saying the Guild Master actually knows our future—and spilled all the spoilers in the form of memory copies?! Holy crap... I suddenly feel uneasy."
Symbol of Peace: "Knowing the future... perhaps knowing it isn't necessarily a good thing."
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "@Symbol of Peace, I don't know why an old geezer like you sounds so emotional! But listen—what the Guild Master reveals about the future can actually be changed. Bai Hu's own future was altered because of the Guild Master."
Symbol of Peace: "???"
Symbol of Peace: "Can... the future be changed?"
Oumaito was utterly baffled. The reason he hadn't taken Su Han's spoilers seriously at first was because, in his youth, he had a close friend named Nighteye.
Nighteye had long ago predicted Oumaito's future, warning him that if he continued being a hero, one day he would face an unimaginable opponent and suffer dire consequences.
Even the man who carried the peace of Japan on his shoulders would eventually fall.
Nighteye wanted Oumaito to stop being a hero.
Oumaito had even broken ties with Nighteye because he wanted to keep being a hero. And even though Nighteye's prophecy came true—his body now broken and ruined—he never regretted it.
But now, listening to Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat, it seemed the Guild Master's method of revealing the future was different from Nighteye's?
Su Xiao: "I just realized something incredibly interesting. @Be My Son. Try using the guild live stream. Let us witness Blackbeard getting crushed in real time—don't forget to bring me along."
Kashi Koishi: "Live-streamed beatdown? Sounds awfully violent."
Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "Wakaka, I want to see Blackbeard get smashed too! Old Man Bai Hu, please fulfill this tiny, insignificant wish of mine."
Tony Stark Isn't the Richest: "Huh? This guild has a live-stream feature? Now that I think about it, even though we can't cross worlds yet due to insufficient members and meet offline, at least you can finally see my handsome face through live streams!"
Kashi Koishi: "Handsome face? Not sure what the billionaire looks like, but this level of narcissism is unprecedented in my life."
On his pirate ship, Bai Hu read the chat and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile. In the past, Bai Hu had taken in so many sons because he felt too lonely and longed for a family.
But now, within this guild, Bai Hu once again felt the warmth of a home.
After fiddling around a bit, he finally found the live-stream function in the guild member abilities interface.
Be My Son: "Alright, I think I've figured out how live streaming works! The timing is perfect too—my son Thatch has just found the Dark-Dark Fruit... Blackbeard should be making his move soon. Let's start the live stream for everyone right now."
As the live-stream screen opened, every member in the guild saw Bai Hu's current appearance.
It felt just like entering a memory copy—though called a video, watching it gave a far more immersive, lifelike sensation.
