Being an "Admin Dog" Is the Best!
A sense of shame and absurdity at being unworthy of her position welled up in Chu Yao's heart.
She immediately questioned the system using her spiritual sense, her tone incredulous. "Why?! Their levels are so high, so how did they end up in my... um, brand-new group full of potential?"
Perhaps because Chu Yao had become the group owner, the system's pop-up did appear much faster than before, but its mechanical coldness remained unchanged:
[When a group owner dies, the group is automatically disbanded. Group members are randomly assigned to newly created group chats.]
Chu Yao: "..."
So that was it.
She was the sucker left holding the bag?
And the bag was the mess left behind after the previous group owner kicked the bucket?
Wait, the point was that her position as group owner had only opened up because the previous owner died?!
Then... the mortality rate for this job is a little high, Mr. System!
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she sighed helplessly.
Fine. At least I know why this bunch is here, and it looks like my position as group owner is pretty high-risk?
Shaking off that bit of unease and a trace of worry about her future, Chu Yao focused on the real main event...
Group owner privileges!
She concentrated and saw the following list of privileges:
1. Group owner's authority: When group members use inappropriate language, the group owner may mute them. The duration of the mute increases with the group owner's level.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: Oh? This is good! If anyone gets on my nerves, I can make him shut up!)
2. Transaction arbitration: When group members conduct illegal transactions, such as abnormal transactions, the group owner may forcibly terminate the transaction and take 10% of its value as an arbitration fee.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: I can take a cut too? Nice, nice. I hope they don't cause trouble, but if they do, I can make a little something off it?)
3. Cleaning house: If the group owner discovers that a group member harbors ill will toward the group or attempts to endanger the safety of the group owner or other members, the group owner may kick them out of the group chat.
Anyone kicked out will permanently lose their qualification as a myriad worlds trader.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: The ultimate weapon! The nuclear button! But that standard of "harboring ill will"... heh heh, it's a bit subjective. Could it all be up to me, the group owner?)
4. Resource priority: When the group owner initiates a transaction within the group, their information will be given priority distribution, making it more likely to be seen by high-level members.
In addition, each time the group owner gains a level, they unlock one purchase slot for a discounted item in the Myriad Worlds Market.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: Good stuff! This is encouraging me to do more business and level up!)
5. Group owner benefits: The group owner may claim one "group owner gift pack" daily. Its contents are random and depend on the group owner's level.
Once a month, the group owner has the authority to initiate a "group mission." Completing it grants group points and special rewards.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: Daily gift packs! Now this feels like being a monthly pass player! Group missions? Sounds like a great way to scam... ahem, I mean, lead everyone to riches together!)
6. Spatial expansion: The group owner may spend group points or specific resources to gradually expand the capacity of the "group public warehouse," making it convenient to hold bulk goods in trust for transactions and collect a small storage management fee.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: I can even run logistics and warehousing? These privileges are getting more and more promising!)
As Chu Yao looked over the privileges one by one, her eyes grew brighter and brighter. The gloom she had felt over her low level vanished completely.
(Chu Yao's inner thoughts: Wahahaha! Admin dogs really are the stepping stones of progress for humanity—and cultivators! So what if my level is low? Even at a low level, I can still keep you "big shots" in line! Muting, taking a cut, kicking people out, priority transactions, daily gift packs, issuing missions... heh heh heh!)
She rubbed her chin, a smile mixing slyness and anticipation spreading across her face, and began figuring out how to use these privileges to improve herself in this little Myriad Worlds Trading Group.
