Chapter 50: Changes in the Chat Group

Lin Yu: “...”

Is this even possible?!

Back in the world of Furiiren, Lin Yu was covered in black lines, utterly unprepared for such a turn of events.

Indeed, if you destroy the world and leave only yourself behind, isn’t that total domination over all under heaven?

Yet even though the world’s consciousness clearly labeled him as cheating, he still passed—meaning the administrator trial’s pass conditions must be quite flexible...

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

He’d stepped slightly out of bounds, and the world’s consciousness immediately condemned him for cheating; but when he completely overturned the table, wiping out rules, order, and the entire world at once, the consciousness suddenly recognized his achievement.

Clearly, prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain—but Lin Yu proved through action that if your strength is great enough, even ten thousand mountains can be shattered effortlessly!

“...So this is the administrator trial of the chat group?”

“You’re reincarnated as Qin Shi Huang and conquer the world—what exactly is this trial testing?”

Lin Yu couldn’t figure it out; he’d skipped too many steps and had no sense of the trial’s intent.

After a moment’s thought, he shook his head and decided to drop the question, instead opening the chat window.

Sure enough, the announcement of his promotion to administrator had already been posted in the group.

The three members immediately exploded, flooding the chat with exclamations and congratulations.

【Su Haoming: No wonder you’re Brother Lin!】

【Su Haoming: You got promoted to administrator so fast!】

【Lin Yu: To be honest, I didn’t expect it either...】

【Su Haoming: !!!】

【Su Haoming: The administrator has appeared!】

【Su Haoming: Congratulations!】

【Fan Xian: Congratulations!】

【Xiang Yunye: Congratulations!】

【Xiang Yunye: Brother Lin, could you explain the requirements for becoming an administrator?】

【Lin Yu: No problem.】

【Lin Yu: After completing the phase task, the chat group notified me that my contribution points had reached the threshold and asked if I wanted to take the administrator trial.】

【Fan Xian: So you actually have to pass a trial...】

【Fan Xian: Do you become an administrator after passing it?】

【Lin Yu: That’s right.】

【Su Haoming: Then how did you do it so fast?!】

【Xiang Yunye: I think there must be some kind of time flow difference involved.】

【Lin Yu: Hmm...】

【Xiang Yunye: Got it—no time difference, just speedrun!】

【Lin Yu: To be honest, I’m not entirely sure.】

【Lin Yu: Logically, there should be one—otherwise, why would I have been reborn as a baby?】

【Lin Yu: But since I passed so quickly, I didn’t feel any obvious difference...】

【All members: ...】

【Fan Xian: What do you mean, reincarnated as a baby?】

【Xiang Yunye: You can speedrun being reincarnated as a baby?!】

【Su Haoming: Brother Lin, I’m totally lost now!】

Lin Yu smiled and briefly explained his trial process to them.

After hearing it, the three members fell silent for a long while, then finally typed a single question mark.

【Su Haoming: Reincarnated as Qin Shi Huang, destroyed the world, and then passed?】

【Fan Xian: What kind of trial is this? What exactly is the chat group testing?】

【Xiang Yunye: I think it might be testing Brother Lin’s choices and tendencies...】

【Su Haoming: What do you mean?】

【Xiang Yunye: Administrators have higher permissions; in a way, Brother Lin’s performance in the trial reflects what he might do as an administrator.】

【Su Haoming: Are you saying Brother Lin will destroy us?】

【Xiang Yunye: That’s not what I meant!】

【Xiang Yunye: Go check the chat history—how replicable is Brother Lin’s method of passing?】

【Su Haoming: ...Actually, not at all.】

【Xiang Yunye: What I mean is, the trial’s purpose may be to test members’ tendencies, and there may be multiple ways to pass—dominance of the strong over the weak is one path, and the strong guiding the weak is another.】

【Su Haoming: If every path leads to passing, then what’s the point of the trial?】

【Xiang Yunye: You’d have to ask the chat group—I’m just sharing my guess...】

The three members began discussing the administrator trial.

Lin Yu watched for a while, then sent a message: “You guys chat first—I’ll check what changes the chat group has.”

He immediately opened the 【Group Files】 and glanced at the next stage’s activity requirement.

【Activity: 2400 (10173/20000)】

【Contribution Points: 23841 (25774/10000)】

Not bad—it’s just doubled. At 400 points per day, he’d reach the goal in under a month.

Lin Yu’s gaze dropped lower and noticed a delete option added after the uploaded files—likely an exclusive administrator permission.

Somewhat useful, but not very useful...

Lin Yu shook his head and continued checking other changes.

In the 【Group Mall】 interface, the administrator-exclusive 【Breakthrough Talisman】 was finally unlocked, and new items were added: intermediate versions of the Cross-Domain Invitation and Breakthrough Talisman.

Both intermediate versions extended the stay duration threefold, but only increased the price twofold—200 points and 2000 points respectively.

Additionally, in the lower-right corner of the 【Group Mall】, a new option to list items for sale appeared.

All members’ listed items would appear in a separate list, clearly distinguished from official items.

So far, the new list contained only one item: a stone lion listed by Xiang Yunye, priced at a staggering 9999 points.

“...Are you running a scam?”

Lin Yu’s forehead darkened with black lines, then he casually pulled out a spirit stone and tried listing it—sure enough, it vanished from his hand and appeared on the new list.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately bought back the spirit stone he’d priced at 100 points.

In an instant, silver light flashed—the spirit stone returned to his hand, and the points spent were restored to his account, though the amount seemed slightly less.

“Only 99 points? So a 1% handling fee...”

Lin Yu immediately frowned.

The newly unlocked 【Group Red Packet】 could also transmit items across domains, with no handling fee.

Compared to that, this listing function seemed pretty useless...

After a moment’s thought, Lin Yu consulted the three members.

The members immediately paused their discussion and replied:

【Su Haoming: Brother Lin, you didn’t scroll up the chat history, right?】

【Su Haoming: Before your administrator message popped up, we already tested it.】

【Su Haoming: The Red Packet has a volume limit—anything slightly larger can’t fit inside.】

【Lin Yu: So the Group Mall has no such limit?】

【Fan Xian: Exactly!】

【Fan Xian: Like Yunye’s stone lion—it won’t fit in a Red Packet, but it can be listed in the Mall.】

【Lin Yu: So that’s why you listed a stone lion priced at 9999.】

【Lin Yu: Such a high price—neither of them can afford it. Are you targeting me?】

【Xiang Yunye: Hehe, just testing, Brother Lin—don’t you dare click accidentally!】

【Su Haoming: Yunye, don’t say I didn’t warn you—Brother Lin’s an administrator now. One slip and you’re done for!】

【Xiang Yunye: ...】

【Xiang Yunye: Can he kick people out?】

Lin Yu opened Xiang Yunye’s profile and replied: “Not that extreme.”

【Xiang Yunye: [Sighs in relief]】

【Lin Yu: Just mute and initiate a kick vote...】

【Xiang Yunye: [Terrified]】

【Xiang Yunye: I’m taking it down right now!】

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly and continued checking his other permissions.

Besides muting and kick votes, he was surprised to find a plus sign had appeared in the upper-right corner of the member list!

“Is this an option to invite new members?”

Lin Yu’s heart stirred—he immediately clicked the plus sign.

Instantly, a brand-new interface appeared before him.

【New Member Progress: 27/30】

【Eligibility: 1】
