Chapter 7: The Chat Group's Functions
Tony: "Here we go again, the prophet is about to tell someone's fortune!"
Xiongba: "Senior Prophet can even read the fate of a Ninth-Rank powerhouse? That's terrifying!"
Hua Lian: "Looking forward to Wu Xing gege's destiny!"
Uncle Jiu: "Looking forward +1."
Minato Namikaze: "Looking forward +2."
Yun Yun: "Looking forward +3."
He Xi: "Same here."
Shen Ziyao: "..."
Seeing the synchronized messages from the group members, Shen Ziyao nearly coughed up blood.
Tell Wu Xing's fortune? Were they joking? She usually relied on her knowledge of the plot to bluff her way through—how could she actually predict the future?
"Is this what they mean by shooting yourself in the foot?"
Shen Ziyao gave a bitter smile. She'd pretended to be a wise sage for so long—now karma had caught up.
"Stop it, guys. There's no way I can see into Wu Xing's past or future," she reluctantly explained, still trying to maintain her image in the group.
Tony: "Whoa! Even the Prophet can't see Wu Xing's fate?"
Hua Lian: "It's the first time I've seen Sister Ziyao unable to read someone. Wu Xing gege really is different."
Xiongba: "If even Queen He Xi's fate could be read but not Lord Wu Xing's, he must be unfathomable. Ninth-Rank truly is incredible!"
Tony: "Hua Lian, hugging that thigh already? Calling him 'gege' now? Wu Xing is on the same level as Queen He Xi!"
Hua Lian: "What? You got a problem with me calling him gege? Wu Xing gege feels like a big brother next door. Or are you trying to hint at He Xi jiejie's age?"
Tony: "Hey now, don't slander me like that, I didn't say that at all!"
What a joke—he'd just offended Queen He Xi earlier. Now that the attention was off him, if Hua Lian brought it back, he'd practically want to die.
Hua Lian: "Hmph! Knew you'd chicken out."
Tony: "..."
He wasn't afraid! In his world, he didn't even put an entire country in his eyes! But in this chat group? With all these powerhouses? Of course he'd be cautious! Let Xiongba try talking back for once—he'd blow the place up with his words!
Wu Xing: "Ahem… Don't argue. It's normal that the Prophet can't see it. Once someone's life level reaches the cosmic tier, their fate is no longer governed by the world's rules—it becomes unreadable."
Tony: "Hisss! Cosmic level!"
Hua Lian: "Hisss! Cosmic level!"
Xiongba: "Hisss! Cosmic level! Don't know what it means, but sounds amazing!"
Uncle Jiu: "Hisss! Cosmic level! Don't know what it means, but sounds amazing!"
Yun Yun: "Hisss! Cosmic level! Don't know what it means, but sounds amazing!"
Minato: "Sss! Cosmic level! Don't know what it means, but sounds amazing!"
He Xi: "Sss! Cosmic level! I know what it means… but it still sounds amazing!"
Seeing the group echoing like copy-paste machines, Wu Xing couldn't help but laugh, especially at He Xi's cheeky comment—she hadn't changed one bit.
Wu Xing: "Alright, stop spamming. Also, @He Xi: Little He Xi, you're a black hole-level angel, stop playing along with them."
Tony: "Hisss! Black hole level! Little He Xi..."
Hua Lian: "Hisss! Black hole level! Little He Xi..."
Xiongba: "Hisss! Black hole level! Little He Xi..."
Uncle Jiu: "..."
"…"
As Wu Xing's words landed, the group once again posted in perfect, copy-pasted sync.
Wu Xing could only act like he didn't see it—at least it reminded him of the chat groups from his past life. It had a certain nostalgic charm.
That said, although he knew he was now the group owner, he still wasn't familiar with the chat group's other functions. Since everyone was in a good mood and chatting away, he decided to investigate the system himself.
Meanwhile, Shen Ziyao felt nothing but gratitude toward Wu Xing. Not only had the senior not exposed her fake-prophet act, but he even helped her cover it up, preserving her group reputation.
[Private Message – Shen Ziyao]: "Thank you, senior, for not exposing me."
Wu Xing, who was browsing the group's features, saw the private message pop up and opened it. Seeing it was from Shen Ziyao, he replied:
"No need. What I said was the truth."
Indeed, once someone reaches the cosmic level, they detach from the laws of the world. That's why when Wu Xing received the system invitation early on, he was sure it wasn't the world consciousness behind it.
Just like how the angels' engines could easily access human civilization data but struggled with demons—unless they had absolute power, it was nearly impossible. Wu Xing stood at the peak of the Super God universe, rendering the world's rules ineffective on him.
Of course, that also meant he couldn't interfere with how the world operated, which is why he personally came to Giant Gorge City—to initiate his first interaction with this world's will.
Anyway, after replying to Shen Ziyao, Wu Xing focused on researching the chat group.
Originally, he'd joined the group hoping for some surprises, and sure enough, there were plenty.
While inspecting the chat features, Wu Xing was pleasantly surprised to discover that this "Chat Group of the Myriad Worlds" had tons of functions—much like those in the novels from his previous life: group files, daily check-in, group points, group enhancement, group store, etc.
Group Files: Anyone could upload and download files. Content was unrestricted.
Currently, there were already several files in the section. Judging by the names, they were clearly video spoilers uploaded by Shen Ziyao to impress the others.
Group Check-In: A daily task that rewarded 1 to 100 random points.
Group Points: The group's currency—used for enhancement and shopping.
However, the chat group was only at Level 1 right now. It would need to reach Level 2 to unlock enhancements, and Level 3 to unlock the shop.
And how to level up? Simple—just increase group members to 10, and it would upgrade to Level 2.
The group added one member from the Myriad Worlds every week. With Wu Xing included, they currently had nine members—so next week, it would hit ten and level up.
As the group master, he did enjoy special perks, such as promoting members to admin, muting people, or even kicking someone out (note: kicking requires half of all members to vote in favor).
Just like the Penguin Chat from his memories.
But the best part—group masters enjoy 50% discounts on all enhancement and shop purchases. (Admins get 20% off.)
What caught Wu Xing's attention the most, though, was the fact that group masters could enjoy benefits one level ahead of everyone else. That meant the enhancement function was already unlocked for him.
Unfortunately, his joy turned to frustration when he found that upgrading his 5th-gen divine body required over a billion group points! And right now, the only way to earn points… was daily check-ins!
