After reading Jiang Zhen's message, Zhang Chulan fell silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke slowly.
"Heh, my background really is anything but ordinary!"
As he spoke, Zhang Chulan glanced outside. They were already nearing the town where his hometown was located.
He continuously pondered what he should do next.
"According to Jiang Zhen, my grandfather had something that many people coveted.
But it seemed he hadn't passed it down to me. The Golden Light Spell and Lightning Technique I possess are, according to Jiang Zhen, Longhu Mountain's closely guarded secrets.
Other than that, he didn't leave me anything else.
But even if we told people about this, no one would believe us.
They might even think I was hiding something, and the most likely outcome would be them hunting me down.
So, as Jiang Zhen said, there were ultimately only two options. The first was to find a suitable powerful force to join.
But I would need to ensure they wouldn't covet what I have. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
The second was to become stronger myself. But after nearly a year, I've become more than twice as strong as I was a year ago."
With Yangzhou Slow, along with the Chat Points he had earned during this period, Zhang Chulan had continuously increased his Martial Prowess.
He had gained enough strength to protect himself. Especially during this time, he had specifically found a martial arts school.
It was the traditional kind of martial arts school, where he learned swordsmanship. Of course, that was merely a cover for practicing the Xiangyi Tai Sword.
Having thought everything through, Zhang Chulan immediately made his decision.
"Forget it. No matter what, I'll hide for now. As for everything else, I'll deal with it later!"
With that thought, Zhang Chulan immediately began his usual routine of complaining in the group.
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Help, boss! Help!"
Pangu Clansman: ???
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Boss, what am I supposed to do next?"
Pangu Clansman: "Figure it out yourself. I can't help you with this sort of thing either. After all, we're not in the same world. At most, I can offer a few words of support: keep it up!"
After seeing Jiang Zhen's message, Zhang Chulan's mouth twitched, his face full of speechlessness. "No, boss, we don't have to be like this."
Then, Zhang Chulan continued in the Chat Group.
"Come on! Which of you big shots can give your little brother some support?
Even just a weapon would do! Just give me a good flexible sword!"
Uncle Jiu: "No flexible sword. Would a wooden sword do? A Peachwood Sword?"
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Uh... forget it, Uncle Jiu. I don't need one. But when did you change your profile picture and name?"
Uncle Jiu: "Haha! The title Maoshan Daoist doesn't refer only to me. There are plenty of Maoshan cultivators, so I changed it to avoid running into other Maoshan fellow practitioners later."
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Awesome, Uncle Jiu! Seriously amazing!"
Lotus Tower Master: "As for a flexible sword, you're too late. I already threw mine away. Now, I've exchanged for an even better one from the Chat Group store.
You can exchange for one yourself too. It doesn't cost many Chat Points—one hundred points can get you one about as good as my original Kissblade!"
The moment he saw that, Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up.
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Damn! Really? No, I need to take a good look!"
Lord of Tushan: "A flexible sword? I could suddenly forge a Flying Sword as well, but you'll have to pay!"
Village Dance King: ...
Watching everyone chat enthusiastically in the Chat Group, Jiang Zhen frowned and said,
"This feels uncomfortable. Little Sprite, is there any way for us to talk face-to-face?
Rather than sending messages like this. It's far too troublesome.
Can your Chat Group be set up so we can enter it directly, each with our own seat, something like the Knights of the Round Table, where we can talk?
Even if it's only consciousness avatars and we can't see each other, it would still be much more comfortable than this.
Looking at it this way is really troublesome. For now, even using it is a hassle!"
Little Sprite: "Host, I can't do that myself. However, every Chat Group is different. Once it reaches a certain level,
if all the group members agree, it can be changed through the main system.
I can contact the main system and ask, but you'll need to notify the other members!"
Jiang Zhen: "Ask first. I'll go ask the others!"
Little Sprite: "No problem!"
Pangu Clansman: "Fellow group members, I just asked the Little Sprite, and he told me there's another way to chat.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time.
We can change the inconvenience of only being able to communicate through text!
So next, I hope everyone can agree to let our Chat Group undergo a change.
It will directly become a Chat Group where everyone has their own seat, floating in something like a starry sky, communicating through a portion of our consciousness.
What do you think? That way, it'll be more convenient for all of us!"
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Agreed!"
Uncle Jiu: "Agreed +1"
Lotus Tower Master: "Agreed +1"
Lord of Tushan: "Agreed!"
Village Dance King: ...
Pangu Clansman: "@Village Dance King, what's going on with you? Why haven't you said anything?"
Village Dance King: ...
Moonlit Bird Walker: "Boss, ignore him. It seems there's a problem with his Chat Group subsystem. He can't use it normally at all right now!"
Jiang Zhen's mouth twitched. "Damn! Could it be lacking energy?"
Thinking of that, Jiang Zhen shook his head helplessly.
Pangu Clansman: "Since that's the case, forget it. I'll take it as you agreeing."
Village Dance King: ...
At this moment, in the Pure Land of the ninja world, Madara, with a pair of Sharingan, sat somewhere and cursed loudly.
"Damn! What kind of trash Chat Group is this? How can it run out of energy? I can't even say a single word.
And this damn Pure Land doesn't have any energy supply either. No, I have to revive as soon as possible.
I hope that idiot Obito can hurry up. Otherwise, I can't say anything just sitting in the group. It's pure torture!
And other worlds! The strong ones from other worlds—I really want to see how powerful they are.
No, this soul body won't do. I have to revive! Revive!"
However, Jiang Zhen knew nothing about any of this. After all, he did not even know who the other person was.
How could he possibly guess Madara's exact circumstances? At that moment, Jiang Zhen was looking at the Little Sprite before him.
"Little Sprite, can we change the way we chat?"
Little Sprite: "Master, no problem. The main system said so.
Because of changes to the rules, every Chat Group can independently choose its chat format.
It's just that, Master, how you want to change it... The main system has now granted me part of the permissions.
Although it's only temporary, this is my first time! Host, hurry and decide how to change it.
I want to try out my permissions..."
As he spoke, the Little Sprite's eyes began to shine brightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen wore a speechless expression.
"You... forget it. Since that's the case, let's begin.
Little Sprite, first change the original Chat Group into a starry sky, with one seat for each person."
Little Sprite: "No problem!"
As soon as the words fell, the little fellow somehow pulled out a wand.
With a wave of it, a beam of light shot out, then spread in every direction.
In an instant, Jiang Zhen saw his original interface rapidly change.
Then, his consciousness entered a starry sky.
Several seats then appeared amid the stars. Immediately afterward, six figures appeared on those seats at once.
"Whoa... boss, you really changed our Chat Group!"
Jiang Zhen smiled lightly at those words, then said,
"Hahaha, it was just luck. We happened to catch the main system of our Chat Group while it was undergoing reforms.
Alright, while we still have the permissions, hurry up and make your requests. They might be gone soon!!!"
After hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Then, they began making requests like crazy.
For a time, all sorts of changes began taking place throughout the starry sky.
Even Jiang Zhen was left speechless. Especially when the chair behind him turned into a very beautiful personal sofa, he gave Zhang Chulan a thumbs-up.
