Chapter 14: Senior, Take Me With You!

“Interdimensional Invitation Letter, and Breakthrough Talisman!”

Lin Yu stared intently at these two items, as if seeing in them a way to escape the lock on his home universe.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately began researching methods to acquire points.

So far, the chat group had opened only two channels for earning points.

The first was chatting in the group to increase activity.

Each person could earn a maximum of 100 activity points and 10 points per day.

The second method was the final 【Group Files】!

Whenever a member uploaded a document to 【Group Files】, the chat group would calculate its value via some algorithm and award the uploader a corresponding number of points.

After opening 【Group Files】, Lin Yu found it already contained numerous documents.

At the very top, with the highest value, was Fan Xian’s uploaded “Dominant True Qi.”

Below it were modern knowledge texts like “Classical Mechanics” and “High School Mathematics.”

Honestly, in terms of potential and value, these knowledge sets should far surpass a single cultivation technique.

But given that all members who uploaded knowledge had been transported to feudal eras, reconstructing their past lives' vast knowledge systems from memory alone was undoubtedly difficult—such imperfections were understandable.

Moreover, the Qing Yu Nian world was no ordinary ancient world, but a future world rebuilt after a nuclear winter.

“Dominant True Qi” was less a cultivation technique and more a research paper—specifically on “How Post-Nuclear-Winter New Humans Utilize Traditional Chinese Meridian Theory to Absorb Nuclear Radiation.”

From this perspective, the chat group’s algorithm was quite reliable.

Lin Yu scanned the uploaded documents, then quickly locked onto the top-right corner of the group files interface.

There, two lines of numbers stood out prominently:

【Activity: 0 (873/10000)】

【Contribution: 0 (333/5000)】

【Note: Upon meeting Jieduanxing conditions, the next group function will unlock.】

Clearly, the 0s before Activity and Contribution were Lin Yu’s current values; the numbers in parentheses represented the total across all group members.

With a total of 873 activity points, assuming each of the three members maxed out daily activity, today must be the third day since they opened the Multiverse Chat Group.

…Only the third day?

Lin Yu was surprised—he had thought he’d arrived years late!

As for the second line, Contribution, Lin Yu believed it represented points: 87 points from 873 activity, plus 246 points from the three members’ uploaded files, totaling exactly 333.

Once he understood the meaning of these two lines, Lin Yu immediately began organizing his magical knowledge and prepared to upload them one by one.

Instantly, the chat box flooded with relentless upload notifications:

【Member ‘Lin Yu’ has uploaded Group File ‘Basic Meditation Method’】

【Member ‘Lin Yu’ has uploaded Group File ‘The Nature of Magic’】

【Member ‘Lin Yu’ has uploaded Group File ‘Elementary Spells and Introduction to Magic’】

【Member ‘Lin Yu’ has uploaded Group File ‘Elements of the World: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water’】

【Member ‘Lin Yu’ has uploaded Group File ‘Sacred Canon of the Magic Gods, Chapter One: Gonggong Strikes the Pillar—Earth’s Axis Tilts, Heaven’s Veil Falls’】

【Member ‘Lin Yu’ has uploaded Group File…】

One notification after another erupted, instantly drowning out the three members’ conversations.

Five full minutes passed before the frantic scrolling finally ceased, yet the three junior members, having witnessed the spectacle, remained frozen, staring blankly at their mental chat boxes, unable to recover.

For a moment, the entire group fell into an eerie silence.

Lin Yu paid no attention to the chatter in the group chat; his gaze fixed on the numbers in the top-right corner of the group files.

【Activity: 100 (973/10000)】

【Contribution: 16652 (16985/5000)】

16,652 points!

Seeing this absurd number, Lin Yu couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the three junior members, shaken from their shock, finally came to their senses.

【Su Haoming: !!!】

【Fan Xian: !!!】

【Xiang Yunye: !!!】

【Su Haoming: @Lin Yu, Senior! Please take me with you!】

【Fan Xian & Xiang Yunye: +1】

【Lin Yu: …】

【Su Haoming: Senior’s online!】

【Fan Xian: With so much magical knowledge, did you cross over into a magic world?】

【Lin Yu: Roughly speaking, yes.】

【Lin Yu: Let me introduce myself—I’m Lin Yu, a transmigrator, currently in a fantasy world as a mage.】

For certain reasons, Lin Yu did not reveal his true identity.

After all, the group store offered Breakthrough Talismans capable of forcibly entering any member’s world—he feared his identity as a Dimensional Demon God might terrify these low-magic-world newcomers, causing them to misunderstand and develop fear or resistance.

So he chose a more acceptable persona to build rapport with the members, encouraging them to voluntarily use Interdimensional Invitation Letters to invite him into their worlds.

Clearly, his mage persona had triggered no suspicion after that explosive upload spree.

【Su Haoming: Senior, may I ask which fantasy world you’re from?】

【Lin Yu: “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.”】

【Lin Yu: They probably haven’t seen it, but you might have.】

【Su Haoming: Ah, I see!】

【Su Haoming: No wonder I always felt you didn’t match our aesthetic.】

【Fan Xian: What do you mean, “I see”? What’s “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”?】

【Su Haoming: That anime blew up in 2023—you two old-timers definitely haven’t watched it.】

【Su Haoming: Judging by this, Senior, you must already know their identities too, right?】

【Lin Yu: I do.】

【Lin Yu: Fan Xian is the protagonist of “Qing Yu Nian,” transmigrated into a future world rebuilt after nuclear winter; Xiang Yunye is the main character of “Tang Zhuan,” transmigrated into Tang Dynasty’s Zhen Guan era.】

【Su Haoming: @Fan Xian @Xiang Yunye!!】

【Su Haoming: Look! Look at this!】

【Su Haoming: Didn’t I say so?!】

【Fan Xian & Xiang Yunye: …】

【Xiang Yunye: So… we’re truly fictional characters?】

In the Tang Zhuan world, Yun’s Mansion in Chang’an.

Xiang Yunye sat on a reclining chair on the balcony of the rear courtyard pavilion, listening to the laughter of young maids chasing each other in the yard, feeling strangely uneasy.

After transmigrating into this Tang Dynasty world, slightly divergent from history, he used his past-life knowledge and mysteriously carried-over crops like potatoes, presenting them as auspicious omens and salt-making techniques, and became the Marquis of Lantian in the Great Tang.

Even more astonishingly, his appearance bore a striking resemblance to the ancestral patriarch of the Yun clan during Zhen Guan’s reign, leading the Yun matriarch to mistake him for her grandson—suddenly, he became the sole male heir of the Lantian Yun family.

Everything was far too coincidental.

Xiang Yunye had often wondered whether some invisible hand manipulated his fate.

But even as he pondered it, when two strangers in this mysterious chat group declared with certainty that such a hand indeed wrote his destiny, he still found it hard to accept.

Not just him—Fan Xian of the Qing Yu Nian world faced the same dilemma.

And compared to Xiang Yunye, his future was even more grim…

To be honest, they had already suspected the truth the moment Su Haoming mentioned it.

But for various reasons, they clung to hope, unwilling to voice the reality aloud.

In short, at this very moment, the two men from different worlds wore identical complex expressions, their eyes locked on their mental chat boxes, waiting for the new senior’s reply.

【Lin Yu: Correct—you are indeed the protagonists of your respective worlds.】

【Lin Yu: But even so, there’s no need to dwell on it.】

【Lin Yu: After all, in the original novels, there was no such chat group…】

Upon reading this, Xiang Yunye and Fan Xian both froze.

Of course—why hadn’t they thought of that!

Since acquiring this chat group, their fates had already diverged from their original paths.

【Lin Yu: Besides, if more newcomers join in the future, perhaps someone has read my story too!】
