Genshin Impact, But It's a Chat Group Chapter 3

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Indeed, this fruit doesn't exist in my world. This method of teleportation out of thin air, along with that faint energy, seems to truly come from a different world.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So it's real!

Inside an ordinary apartment in Tokyo, Kasumigaoka Utaha stared in shock at the raspberry in her hand. She didn't sense any energy, but the fact that the raspberry had appeared in her hand out of nowhere genuinely stunned her. To make sure she wasn't dreaming, she even pinched her thigh hard—mm, smooth, nice feel, and painful too!

Meme Lord: Looks like everyone got the stuff. This is just the basics.

Meme Lord: Normally, I'd send something nice for a first meeting, but I don't have much on hand right now. How about this—I'll start a group livestream.

Livestreaming was one of the chat group's built-in features. When Li Yue was the only one in the group, he'd already tinkered with it, and now he could use it smoothly.

Meme Lord has started a livestream. Come check it out!

Ding—You have started a livestream and earned 500 points!

Of course, that didn't happen. Li Yue's chat group had no point system; it was just a very ordinary-looking chat group.

"Yo~ Hello to you two. I'm Li Yue, the owner of the Meme Chat Group, nickname Meme Lord. Right now, I'm fishing at the dock."

Li Yue smiled and waved toward the direction of the camera in the void.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It looks like a Chinese-style ancient society, quite a few eras behind the Human World in my world.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Wait, everyone around you is wearing ancient clothes. Why are you in a floral shirt?

After looking at Li Yue, Aizen immediately began observing Li Yue's surroundings. Kasumigaoka, on the other hand, zeroed in on the key point right away—Li Yue's clothes clashed with everyone else's. Against this ancient backdrop, he was dressed like a modern person.

"Because I'm not from this world. I came from 21st-century Earth and accidentally crossed over here. Right now, I live in a country called Li Yue in this world, so I'm kind of an outsider."

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Crossing over from Earth to another world? That's a very interesting situation.

"There's something even more interesting than crossing over. It's related to another gift I plan to give you two."

Li Yue's lips curled.

"Shiyu-senpai, Captain Aizen, have you ever heard of quantum mechanics?"

5. If Captain Aizen doesn't mind, I'd gladly take him as my adoptive father!

When in doubt, quantum mechanics!

"In the quantum realm, quanta from different worlds might become entangled. This could cause information between worlds to transfer through quantum entanglement to another world, where it manifests in different forms. So, information from one world appears in another."

Li Yue leaned back in his folding chair, crossed his legs, and rested his hands on his knees, striking a boss-like pose as he explained to the camera. Tian Shu, overhearing from nearby, was utterly baffled. What was wrong with Li Yue? Why was he talking to the air, and why couldn't he understand a single word?

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So that's how you knew my name?

Yeah, yeah, I'm saying this—take it at face value. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it!

"That's right. Lucky me, I'm the one who came into contact with this quantum entanglement. So I know quite a bit about the worlds you two come from, especially information related to you."

"As a gift for you two, let me briefly share what I know about your situations. Maybe some of what I know includes futures you haven't experienced yet."

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: An interesting theory. Then, Li Yue-kun, please tell us what you know about us.

Other worlds—this alone piqued Aizen's curiosity. In the unchanging Soul Society, he was far too bored. Now, he finally had some new amusement. And Li Yue claiming to know information about him made it even more intriguing.

"Let's start with Captain Aizen."

Li Yue looked at Aizen.

"Aizen Sousuke, the strongest genius Shinigami in Soul Society in a thousand years. His Zanpakuto, Kyōka Suigetsu, can achieve complete hypnosis on anyone. On the surface, he's a captain of the Gotei 13, but while being a Shinigami, he's always researched Hollowfication. He successfully conquered Hueco Mundo and has been studying how to break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows. Through experiments, he's caused many Shinigami to undergo Hollowfication and evolved many Hollows into Arrancars. And all of this is for the sake of a higher realm! As for his later goals—things like the Royal Guard or the Soul King—I won't go into them, since that would take a long time."

"So, Captain Aizen, am I right?"

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It seems Li Yue-kun truly knows about me. How fascinating. I wonder how this so-called quantum entanglement forms.

Aizen was shocked by Li Yue's words, but even more curious. If Li Yue could learn about other worlds through quantum entanglement, then he, Aizen, could use the same method to learn about other worlds—like Li Yue's world. The power called "Elemental Power" within the raspberry he held intrigued him greatly.

"I don't know how quantum entanglement forms either. I'm not a genius researcher like you, Captain Aizen. I'm just an ordinary person."

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Being able to touch quantum entanglement and hold a chat group that connects other worlds—Li Yue-kun is far from ordinary.

Envy. For the first time, Aizen, who sought higher realms, felt envy. The chat group and quantum entanglement represented new knowledge and new possibilities. Why didn't he have that kind of luck?

"Thanks for the compliment, Captain Aizen. Honestly, I envy you. As the representative of Special Reiatsu among the Five Great Special Forces in Soul Society, you have the strongest reiatsu, a super smart brain, and research skills. Paired with Kyōka Suigetsu's unbeatable hypnosis, if it weren't for plot armor, I can't imagine how you'd lose! Such a shame."

Five Great Special Forces? Lose?

Aizen's eyes narrowed behind his black-rimmed glasses. Li Yue's words revealed two key pieces of information. First, the representative of reiatsu among the Five Great Special Forces, the strongest reiatsu—Aizen was confident even Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's reiatsu couldn't match his. Who were the other four, and what did they represent? And that word "lose"—did it mean he would lose in the future?

He would actually lose in the future? And because of this so-called "plot armor"? That is, some factor caused his defeat; otherwise, he would have won in the end.

His mind churned with thoughts, but on the surface, Aizen continued speaking in the chat group.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Oh? After learning about my goals and experiences, Li Yue-kun feels no anger or disgust, only regret?

"Soul Society, the Human World, Hueco Mundo—the three realms created by the Soul King. But they're controlled by the Five Noble Clans. In short, the three realms are just worlds manipulated by the nobles of Soul Society, existing solely for their comfort and stability. The Gotei 13 is nothing but a violent tool for the nobles to maintain their power. There's never been any justice in it. So, what Captain Aizen did doesn't make me angry or disgusted. Of course, in the eyes of some Partners of Justice, Captain Aizen might be evil, but to me, I can only say one thing!"

Li Yue's expression hardened, turning serious.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: What is Li Yue-kun's evaluation?

Li Yue dropped to one knee, raised his hands flat, and looked up with longing.

"I've drifted through half my life, only regretting never meeting a worthy master. If Captain Aizen doesn't mind, I'd gladly take you as my adoptive father!"

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: ...

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So are you going to say next: "A real man born between heaven and earth—how can he live in obscurity under others' thumb!"

Li Yue glanced at Kasumigaoka's message and continued.

"As for other info about my adoptive father's world, I'll organize it later and upload a full version to the group files. Now let's talk about Shiyu-senpai."

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: He ignored it!

The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

Captain Aizen was a bit speechless. He'd inexplicably gained an adopted son, and having lived for centuries as a Shinigami, he had some knowledge of Human World history. Did Li Yue really think he didn't know that was a line from Lu Bu? No one understands the Three Kingdoms better than the Japanese.jpg

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Calling me senpai—were you a student at Toyosaki Academy before you transmigrated?

Kasumigaoka watched Li Yue and Aizen's exchange. They seemed to say a lot, yet nothing at all—she couldn't follow it. Soul Society, Shinigami, the Soul King—none of it made sense. But now, Li Yue calling her "senpai" piqued her interest.

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: But I don't recall Toyosaki having any exchange students from **. Could Li Yue-kun be from another school?

Having forcibly claimed an adoptive father, Li Yue sat back down, a smirk tugging at his lips as he began his introduction.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, pen name Kasumi Utako, an ordinary light novel author. Her work Rhythm of the Lover had dismal early sales and nearly got axed. After a kouhai blogger recommended it, sales steadily rose, eventually becoming a minor hit. Because of that, she fell for that kouhai and started pursuing him. After various seduction attempts, he still dumped her, making her a love loser."

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You're saying I'll become a love loser!?

The exclamation mark showed Kasumigaoka Utaha's current turmoil, and Li Yue used that to gauge her timeline—the plot had already started. She'd fallen for Akise Tomoya and was probably already being roped into writing copy for him.

"That's right. You'll lose, and lose badly. You throw yourself at him, give it your all, and still fail. He chooses someone else, not you. You're left alone in your apartment, crying and throwing a tantrum—boohoo, so pitiful."

Snap—

In her apartment, Kasumigaoka Utaha snapped her pen in half.

She didn't reply for a long time, but Li Yue's grin only widened. Shiyu-senpai's expression right now must be priceless. Hehe~ What a delight!

Just then, the fishing rod he'd left unattended suddenly tugged. Li Yue grabbed it, gave a sharp upward flick, and reeled in a pufferfish.

Under Tian Shu's envious gaze nearby, Li Yue unhooked the fish, dropped it into his creel, cast the line again, and plopped back onto his folding chair, facing the camera.

"As for other details about Shiyu-senpai's world, I'll organize and upload them to the group files later. You'll find it really interesting after you read it."

Ah, spoilers—nothing beats the satisfaction of spoilers!

6. Does Aizen Also Like Watching Slice-of-Life Romance?

Meme Lord uploaded a new file.

Meme Lord uploaded a new file.

Meme Lord: I've uploaded the general intel on my adoptive father's and Shiyu-senpai's worlds. Feel free to download and check them out.

Following the usual routine, Li Yue uploaded the anime of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend and Bleach from his memory. Both downloaded instantly—no internet speed to worry about.

The Hair Gel Man in the Sky downloaded the group file.

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings downloaded the group file.

What surprised Li Yue was the download count: Saekano had 2, Bleach had 0.

Meaning Aizen hadn't downloaded Bleach—he'd grabbed Saekano. What, does Captain Aizen also like watching slice-of-life romance?

Within seconds, a new message popped up.

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Li Yue beamed and quickly replied.

Meme Lord: Senpai, it's entirely possible!

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: How dare Akise Tomoya... and I ended up losing to a Kato Megumi? Tch... how infuriating!

The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Well, it felt a bit dull. I suppose this is what ordinary life in the Human World is like.

Meme Lord: For you, adoptive father, Shiyu-senpai's world would naturally be boring. It's just an ordinary world, and you're a big shot who's above women and draws his blade like a god. Finding commoners' lives interesting would be strange.

The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

It seemed Li Yue was dead set on claiming him as an adoptive father. Aizen was quite exasperated.

The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: So, Li Yue-kun, are you interested in this kind of content?

Meme Lord: No, for an ordinary guy like me, it's pretty boring too. The only reason I watched all the way through was for Shiyu-senpai's black stockings and all the fanservice she threw out. She really knows how to work it—especially that hotel scene. I was so mad I wanted to kick that glasses-wearing brat aside and take his place! If he can go, so can I!

The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

That's not what that old saying means, is it?

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Sorry for being just an ordinary character. So my nickname "Fat Woman in Black Stockings" was Eriri's doing, huh? Fine, that Blonde Flat-Chested Love Loser—I'll remember her!

Meme Lord: So, Shiyu-senpai, where are you in the timeline? Have you started working on the game yet?

The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Yesterday we had a meeting in the multimedia room. He asked me to help create the game, and I didn't agree at the time. Today he invited me to a café, saying he'd convince me to join the project.

In her apartment, Kasumigaoka Utaha got up and started packing. She'd been happy about Akise Tomoya's café invitation, but after watching the story, she realized it wasn't a solo date. He was inviting multiple people to push his grand vision for making a game.

After watching the whole thing, he never created any groundbreaking game or masterpiece. Instead, he ended up in a relationship with Kato Megumi, leaving her and that blonde twin-tailed love loser crying on the sidelines.

She was sure she wouldn't lose or cry—but why should she have to settle for that!?

She didn't fully trust the file Li Yue had uploaded, but she believed most of it—since the whole otherworld thing had already come true, the next step was to verify whether Akise Tomoya had really invited three people at once.

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I'm going to check it out. If it turns out Akise Tomoya was just using me to make a game, then I'll make damn sure he understands—I'm not some tool for him to pick up girls with!

After sending the message, Kasumigaoka Utaha packed up and left her apartment. She was going to see exactly how many people Akise Tomoya had invited.

Meme Lord: Ooh~ looks like the four-eyes' senpai stock isn't gonna soar after all. Heh heh, what a good guy I am!

Transmigrating into Saekano and stealing the male lead's girl—that's practically an international formula by now. Who could blame anyone when Akise Tomoya was just that annoying? Even though Li Yue hadn't transmigrated into that world, he could still steal the spotlight from afar!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Too bad. I don't really understand these trivial everyday matters of ordinary people.

Meme Lord: Of course, of course—Father is meant for greater things. How could such small stuff catch your eye? Speaking of which, Father, aren't you going to check out the info from your own world?

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Naturally, I will. It's just that curiosity about other worlds made me look at Miss Kasumigaoka's first. Turns out it's nothing more than the life of an ordinary human.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky downloaded the group file.

Since what was uploaded was Li Yue's memories, downloading it gave him memories too—not like watching an episode-by-episode anime. So the hundreds of episodes of Bleach were all absorbed in an instant as Aizen received the memories.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I see. Ichigo Kurosaki... so that's how I lost. And the Soul King's true intentions, the Royal Guard guarding him, and the Wandenreich lurking in the shadows. It seems I underestimated this world before. It's become interesting now.

Meme Lord: Looks like Father has a new interest. This time, you won't give up on evolution, right?

Aizen had lost because he abandoned his own evolution, leading to his sealing. But now that he understood the full truth of the world, he naturally wouldn't have that thought anymore.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: To be precise, from the moment I joined this chat group, that thought has already ceased to exist. This chat group symbolizes infinite possibilities. Compared to my world, its ceiling is clearly much higher. As one who seeks the pinnacle, I will only pursue endless evolution!

Meme Lord: Good, good, good—that's the Father I know! That's how it should be. By the way, Father, when you evolve, could you maybe watch your personal image? Before you fully merged with the Hōgyoku, you were pretty handsome, but when you fought Ichigo at the end, you looked really ugly—like a giant moth. Hideous!

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

Meme Lord: Father, your coolest moment was when you used the Senkaimon to leave Soul Society, crushed your glasses, and slicked your hair back with that one move—"I shall stand atop the heavens!" Most of the Espada's aesthetics were great too, so Father, promise me—keep up your image!

Inside the squad quarters, Aizen, who had been about to pick up his brush and write, paused. His brow twitched involuntarily. For the first time, someone was lecturing him about his appearance. The feeling was... peculiar.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I think I understand why my nickname is Hair Gel Man in the Sky now. As for my image... I'll try.
