[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Tier 2: [Since you know what the Golden Fingers of our Chat Group members are, has anyone obtained a Golden Finger ranked in the top hundred? The top hundred Golden Fingers are all ridiculously overpowered. Getting any one of them would be enough to take off, especially those ranked in the top thirty. With one of those, you could grow stronger just lying down...]
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Tier 5: [In our Chat Group, only the Cult Master obtained a top-hundred Golden Finger—the Future Life Simulator, ranked eighteenth. As for simulator-type Golden Fingers, those who know, know.]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Tier 2: [I don't just know—I'm so jealous I'm practically drooling. Like I just said, growing stronger while lying down. This is what a Golden Finger is supposed to be! What about everyone else's Golden Fingers? There are only the two of us in the group right now, so tell me all about them. We can delete the information afterward and make sure no chat records are left.]
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Tier 5: [Then I'll tell you. Teng Qingyun's Golden Finger is the Longevity Dao Fruit. Lu Ming's Golden Finger is Talent Replication. Liu Shanshan's Golden Finger is the Sacrifice to Heaven Dao Talisman. Li Jing's Golden Finger is Transform into a Sailor Scout—the kind that says, "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you." Once transformed, his combat power increases tenfold across the board. You already know everyone else's Golden Fingers, so I won't waste my breath.]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Tier 2: [They're all pretty good Golden Fingers. Several of them rank within the top thousand. Speaking of which, among the members of our Chat Group, Liu Ming has the worst Golden Finger. His Sky-Holding Gourd ranks beyond a hundred thousand.]
Those Golden Fingers were indeed quite good. Or rather, every Golden Finger ranked within the top thousand was extremely powerful. Take Teng Qingyun's Longevity Dao Fruit, for example. It could grant her an endless lifespan, so she could cultivate demonic techniques that consumed lifespan. Wouldn't her cultivation realm soar higher and higher? She would not even need to rely too heavily on other cultivation resources.
Then there was Lu Ming's Talent Replication, which could copy other people's talents. Wouldn't he be able to copy every divine physique and Sacred Body in the Shrouding the Heavens world? Proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor in the future would be almost effortless for him. With the Chat Group's help, he had a strong chance of becoming an immortal amid the mortal world.
As for Liu Shanshan's Sacrifice to Heaven Dao Talisman, it could exchange sacrifices to Heaven for treasures, making it a fairly good Golden Finger as well. However, it was not ranked within the top thousand. Then there was Li Jing's Transform into a Sailor Scout, which could amplify his combat power tenfold in every aspect, yet it did not even rank within the top ten thousand.
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Tier 5: [Someone like Liu Ming is actually considered lucky. The Sky-Holding Gourd is a little underwhelming, but at least Liu Ming transmigrated into a cultivation world, and the Sky-Holding Gourd can still help him in the early stages. Someone like Dongfang Bubai is the truly unlucky one. He actually transmigrated into a low-martial world, and his Golden Finger only lets him see other people's opportunities. It will be far, far too difficult for him to rise up, and surpassing us will be even harder...]
Yue Ming strongly agreed with Li Shanhe. People like them, who had transmigrated into greater worlds, were already extremely fortunate. Someone like Dongfang Bubai was the truly unlucky one. It was not impossible for him to rise, but compared to other transmigrators, the difficulty of doing so was countless times greater.
Although points were not worth much in the Chat Group, they were still important in the early stages. In a world like The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, the world's level limit was right there. While one could buy Cultivation Methods and resources from the Chat Group Mall, earning points was far too difficult in such a low-level world.
Even if Dongfang Bubai harvested every resource in the entire The Smiling, Proud Wanderer world and sold them to the Chat Group Mall, how many points could he earn? It would probably be difficult for him even to break through to Tier 3, perhaps even Tier 2. As the saying went, one step behind meant falling behind every step thereafter. Catching up to them would be almost impossible.
Dongfang Bubai's Golden Finger allowed him to see other people's opportunities. It was not actually a bad Golden Finger. If it were placed in another top-tier greater world, he might be able to snatch some enormous opportunities. But in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, it was useless. Was he supposed to steal Linghu Chong's Nine Solitary Swords and Great Star Absorbing Technique? Cultivation Methods of that low a level were countless in the Chat Group Mall.
If this had been the sort of Chat Group found in novels, where members could help one another, Dongfang Bubai might still have had a chance to obtain points. But their Chat Group could not send red packets or permit travel between worlds, and points could not be transferred directly. Even if someone wanted to help him, there was nothing they could do.
However, Dongfang Bubai was not entirely without opportunities. Whenever the Chat Group issued missions, members could travel to other worlds. At that time, he could plunder resources from the mission worlds. The only problem was that the Chat Group issued missions perhaps once in a hundred years.
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Tier 5: [Among our Chat Group, there are only a few people with the best chance of becoming group administrators. Aside from me, there are you and Lu Ming. You both transmigrated into top-tier greater worlds and possess very good Golden Fingers, so your potential far exceeds that of the others. Next are Shanshan and Qingyun. Shanshan's Golden Finger is a little weaker, while Qingyun transmigrated into a world with too low a level. Even so, the two of them have better chances than everyone else. Work hard at cultivating and strive to become group administrators. The benefits you receive then will far exceed your imagination.]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Tier 2: [I've always worked hard, all right? In the years since I transmigrated into the Swallowed Star world, I've spent almost all my time in seclusion. As for becoming a group administrator, I can only do my best! You have the greatest chance, though. You're already Tier 5, so breaking through to Tier 6 and becoming a group administrator shouldn't be far off, right?]
There were nine group administrator positions in total. Whoever broke through to Tier 6 first would become a group administrator first. The Chat Group had only been established for a little over three hundred years. Those who had joined it earliest had merely seized an initial advantage, but whether they could become group administrators in the future was difficult to say.
For example, a later arrival might have unbelievably good luck and, like Sect Master Tongtian, possess Tier 7 strength from the moment he was born after transmigrating. Or perhaps someone might obtain a powerful Golden Finger, especially one ranked within the top hundred. They might surpass all the old group members in a short time.
In short, all kinds of accidents could happen. Thus, Yue Ming did not dare guarantee that he would definitely become a group administrator. He could only do his best. Li Shanhe had the greatest chance, though. He was already Tier 5, possessed a powerful Golden Finger, and came from a high-level world. He also had Hongmeng backing him. Given enough time, breaking through to Tier 6 was practically a certainty.
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Tier 5: [Breaking through to Tier 6 is not as easy as you imagine. In terms of the Swallowed Star world's realms, it would mean advancing from Lord of the Universe to Chaos Master. Do you think that's easy? Still, I'm very fortunate to have become Hongmeng's disciple. With his wholehearted assistance, I'm confident I can break through to Tier 6 within ten thousand years.]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Tier 2: [I envy people like you who have someone backing them. I may enter the universe soon and leave Earth, the beginner's village. There are still more than six years until the Peak Genius Battle. If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to achieve a good ranking in the genius battle, perhaps even become a disciple of a Lord of the Universe. Then I'll truly take off.]
