Chapter 13: Chat Group of All Dimensions and Worlds

「……」

Sensing the information received in his consciousness, Lin Yu suddenly understood.

So it’s this thing!

He had thought it was some kind of dimension-demon cultivation system!

What a pity…

Lin Yu felt a pang of regret.

At the same time, he finally understood why this thing appeared in a chaotic, shifting ontological state.

Simply put, the chat group Lin Yu obtained was merely a cellphone, a terminal.

The cellphone itself naturally possessed extremely high technological content, but compared to the entire communication network hidden behind it, it was merely the tip of a colossal iceberg!

The two ontological states Lin Yu had sensed earlier both belonged to the chat group—only the lower ontological state was this cellphone, while the far higher, even transcending Lin Yu’s own self, was the communication system behind the phone that connected all dimensions and worlds.

If that’s the case, perhaps there’s a way within the chat group to resolve his current predicament?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu grew restless and immediately chose to join the chat group.

In an instant, a highly retro chat interface slowly unfolded within his consciousness.

Lin Yu briefly observed and found the chat group currently had only three functions: [Group Chat], [Group Files], and [Group Mall].

In the [Group Chat] interface, three earlier members were already chatting.

【New member ‘■■■’ has joined the group chat—come and chat happily together!】

【Su Haoming: Another new member?】

【Su Haoming: Welcome, welcome!】

【Fan Xian: Welcome, welcome!】

【Xiang Yunye: Welcome, welcome!】

Hmm, Fan Xian and Xiang Yunye—the male protagonists of The Legend of Qiongyan and Tang Zhuan—both familiar names.

The only unfamiliar one was Su Haoming, the most enthusiastic and first to greet.

He’d never heard that name before—was he perhaps the protagonist of a novel Lin Yu hadn’t read, or one of those common transmigrator group admins?

Whatever, it didn’t matter. The identity of group members held no importance to Lin Yu, now a dimension-demon god.

What mattered was why all the group members were like Fan Xian and Xiang Yunye?

Gazing at those two familiar names, Lin Yu’s forehead darkened with exasperation.

Usually, the original members of a chat group weren’t all future great emperors and heavenly sovereigns?

Why, in his case, had it become a group of weaklings from low-magic or even magicless worlds?

Even using his toes to think, he knew such members absolutely lacked the ability to solve his problems…

As Lin Yu mentally complained, the member named ‘Su Haoming’ pinged him in the group.

【Su Haoming: @■■■, newbie, don’t be nervous—dizziness is normal the first time doing this.】

【Su Haoming: Anyway, start with a self-introduction!】

【Fan Xian: Wait, why is his name garbled?】

【Fan Xian: Isn’t it usually real-name registered?】

Garbled?

Lin Yu glanced at his own name, then shifted his thought.

The next second, a brand-new message popped up in the chat box.

【Member ‘■■■’ changed name to ‘Lin Yu’】

【Su Haoming: So it’s Brother Lin!】

【Su Haoming: Are you there, Brother Lin? Why aren’t you speaking?】

【Fan Xian: Probably still stunned from joining for the first time.】

【Xiang Yunye: He changed his name so quickly—maybe he’s from the modern world and has seen something similar.】

【Su Haoming: That’s great! We really need a modern member—just the three of us half-baked amateurs chatting won’t get us to the industrial age anytime soon!】

Half-baked… industrial age…

What the hell have you three turned this chat group into?!

Normally, aren’t they supposed to exchange cultivation techniques and act as cross-world traders? Why has it suddenly changed tone with you three?

Lin Yu’s forehead darkened further, his mind brimming with unspoken complaints.

【Fan Xian: Su Brother, don’t get too excited—maybe he’s just like us, a transmigrator.】

Oh?

This Su guy is also a transmigrator?

Lin Yu’s interest stirred.

【Xiang Yunye: @Su Haoming, Su Brother, do you recognize this name?】

【Su Haoming: I’d love to say I do, but unfortunately, this name is just as unfamiliar to me.】

No doubt—he’s a transmigrator, and one who’s read The Legend of Qiongyan and Tang Zhuan!

Lin Yu firmly believed this.

【Xiang Yunye: Then don’t bother the newbie—let him calm down first.】

【Xiang Yunye: More importantly, Fan, I’ve tried your ‘Dominant True Qi’ technique, but unfortunately, my world has no such thing as heavenly and earthly spiritual energy.】

【Fan Xian: Hmm, expected.】

【Fan Xian: I’ve already inquired—there are body-cultivation techniques in this world that don’t require true qi.】

【Fan Xian: When I have time later, I’ll try to find some for you.】

【Xiang Yunye: Thank you very much, Brother Fan!】

【Fan Xian: It’s nothing—we help each other, right?~】

【Su Haoming: I’ve said it a hundred times—there’s no heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, it’s nuclear radiation!】

【Fan Xian: Here we go again…】

【Fan Xian: Sigh.jpg】

【Fan Xian: Su Brother, I’m not unwilling to believe you—it’s just that what you’ve said before is too unbelievable.】

【Fan Xian: And your descriptions of my future are too vague, even containing outright errors—how can I possibly trust you…】

【Xiang Yunye: +1】

【Su Haoming: …】

【Su Haoming: My fault then!】

【Su Haoming: What can I do? I read The Legend of Qiongyan and Tang Zhuan back in high school—add this life, that’s over thirty years ago!】

【Su Haoming: Over thirty years—I can’t possibly remember clearly…】

【Xiang Yunye: Haha, Fan, stop teasing him!】

【Xiang Yunye: Su Brother, don’t get upset—while some of your predictions were wrong, some were right.】

【Xiang Yunye: For example, the Three Heroes of the Dust—Li Jing, Hongfu Lady, and Qiu Ranke—actually exist in my world!】

【Xiang Yunye: Luckily you warned me ahead of time—if I’d kept blabbing, Li Jing would’ve hated me.】

【Su Haoming: Hmph, now you see the value of my advice?】

【Xiang Yunye: Salute.jpg】

【Su Haoming: Whatever, as long as I can help you—it’s all I can do, since I’m just a nobody now…】

Lin Yu silently lurked, finding the atmosphere among these three surprisingly pleasant.

Good enough—since the group currently offered him no help, at least a pleasant chat could pass the time—Lin Yu had originally thought so, until he first opened the [Group Mall]…

Perhaps because the chat group was newly activated, the [Group Mall] currently had only two items listed.

Yet these mere two items instantly turned Lin Yu, who had just been disdainful of the chat group, into a man overcome with joy!
