Star Rail, I, a Researcher, Joined the Chat Group

Finding Herta was not urgent.

Chat interface.

Ding. Chat Group member Chen Mu had successfully checked in and received 100 Points.

Hoshino Ai: "Ooh, ooh, ooh! Lord Chen Mu is finally online again!!!"

Gotoh Hitori: "Every time I see Mr. Chen Mu come online, I can't help but feel guilty. Outstanding people don't have time to idle around in the group, while useless people like me are the only ones who stay in the group all day long. Hehe... hehe..."

Hoshino Ai: "Ugh... Ichiri, stop talking. I got caught in the blast, and it hurts so much. Anyway, I'm just a useless person too."

Gotoh Hitori: "Eh, eh, eh?!!"

Gotoh Hitori: "I was talking about myself, not Ai-chan. Ai-chan spends even more time in the group than I do, but she must be really, really amazing."

Gotoh Hitori hurriedly explained.

Hoshino Ai: "..."

Oshi no Ko World.

Hoshino Ai felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

Could she say that she could not even handle the relationships between members of the same idol group right now?

Hoshino Ai burst into tears.

Was this the destructive power of natural airheadedness...?

Chen Mu: "..."

Chen Mu blinked.

What a lively scene to walk into, with these two little ones fooling around.

Chen Mu: "Did any of you @ me? What did you need me for? Sorry, I was busy with something earlier and didn't notice."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "It was me. Um, Mr. Chen Mu, I've arrived in the Demon Slayer World, so I wanted to let you know."

Hoshino Ai: "Kurumi has already @ Lord Chen Mu so many times. Lord Chen Mu is really hard to summon with an @. Sob, sob, sob. Anyway, Lord Chen Mu is just so outstanding that he has no time to idle around in the group, while I'm a useless person who's always available whenever anyone calls."

Kochou Kanae: "Ahaha... I've already picked Kurumi up, so don't worry, Chen Mu. But I really didn't expect Kurumi to be one of those legendary Spirits! And she's so powerful too. That's incredible!"

Kochou Kanae: "We're about to set out to hunt down Muzan Kibutsuji. With Kurumi here, I feel even more confident!"

Chen Mu: "I see."

Chen Mu: "In that case, take Shinobu's Nichirin Blade with you as well. I've already modified it for her."

Chen Mu sent an ordinary Red Envelope.

To Chen Mu.

This sort of thing was simply a trivial matter, not even worth his attention.

While researching immortality, he had dealt with it casually.

Kochou Kanae had claimed the Red Envelope.

Kochou Kanae: "Sorry to trouble you, Chen Mu. Shinobu will definitely be very happy when she sees it."

Demon Slayer World.

Kochou Kanae looked at the Nichirin Blade that had appeared in her hand, her face full of delight.

Having possessed this kind of Nichirin Blade for some time now, Kochou Kanae knew exactly how powerful the blade Chen Mu had given her was!

It was no exaggeration to say.

That calling it a Divine Weapon or Divine Artifact would not be an overstatement at all!

Nearby.

Tokisaki Kurumi also looked at the Nichirin Blade with great curiosity.

Naturally, she was very curious about the things Chen Mu brought out as well.

Hoshino Ai: "Eh, eh, a Nichirin Blade? Is that the blade Lord Chen Mu gave Sister Kanae during the last livestream, the one that cut through iron like mud?"

Gotoh Hitori: "It does far more than cut through iron like mud. I always feel like if that sword fell to the ground, it might split a mountain in half and punch a huge hole through the earth, just like in manga."

Gotoh Hitori spoke with a hint of excitement at that moment.

Chen Mu did not deny it.

Because the Nichirin Blades he had given really could do what Gotoh Hitori described.

Of course, they definitely did not have those mysterious things from manga, like Sword Spirits or self-awareness.

Hoshino Ai: "That's so nice, Lord Chen Mu~ Do you think you could give me a Divine Artifact like that? Please, please! If you give me one, I can be your girlfriend~"

Gotoh Hitori: "Eh, eh?!!"

Gotoh Hitori's face flushed red as she stammered.

Gotoh Hitori: "Um... I-I want one too, but could I not be your girlfriend? N-no, it's not that Mr. Chen Mu is bad. I just think I'm not worthy of Mr. Chen Mu."

Both of them had practiced Kochou Shinobu's Breathing Techniques.

Later, after Chen Mu improved the Breathing Techniques, they had practiced Chen Mu's version as well.

They were destined to become the future Love Pillar and Bocchi Pillar.

And as famous Pillars, how could they not have Nichirin Blades in their hands?

However...

Chen Mu rejected them without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Mu: "No. What do you need Nichirin Blades for? Your worlds are governed by law. Do you really want Nichirin Blades so you can kill people? Forget Nichirin Blades—even wooden swords would be more than enough."

Hoshino Ai: "..."

Gotoh Hitori: "..."

Both of them stared wide-eyed, unable to say anything.

Because what Chen Mu said made so much sense that they could not refute it at all.

A law-governed society.

What did they need restricted weapons for?

If they accidentally injured someone.

Wouldn't they be the ones going to prison?

For a moment.

The two of them immediately deflated.

They had originally still had a little dream of becoming sword-wielding girls~

Demon Slayer World.

Kochou Kanae giggled as she watched them.

She thought Chen Mu had done the right thing.

Forget Nichirin Blades—even wooden swords.

If Hoshino Ai and Gotoh Hitori, who had learned Chen Mu's Breathing Techniques, truly wanted to, they could easily kill someone with a wooden sword.

How could they be allowed to wield something as dangerous as a Nichirin Blade?

After all, Hoshino Ai and Gotoh Hitori were both still young and had no combat experience.

Giving them weapons that powerful could easily lead to unpleasant consequences if they were not careful.

After all, the times were different now.

As for Tokisaki Kurumi.

She used guns, so she had no need for a Nichirin Blade.

One more off-topic question: do you all prefer seeing more Chat Group content, or more Star Rail content? I mainly just want to get a sense of it, that's all.

You Can Even Borrow an Aeon's Power?

Chen Mu: "Although I can't give you Nichirin Blades, I can give you some other things."

Chen Mu sent four ordinary Red Envelopes.

Kochou Kanae: "Eh, eh? Four? I get one too?"

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Even I get one?"

Kochou Kanae and Tokisaki Kurumi, who had been watching the show, froze when they saw the four Red Envelopes.

They had never expected.

That there would be something for them too.

Chen Mu: "Mm. It's something I researched a long time ago. It contains the power of Preservation Aeon Kliper. When you encounter danger, the power inside will automatically emerge and protect you."

After arriving in the Star Rail World.

The first technologies Chen Mu developed were Star Destroyers and the power of the Preservation Aeon.

One was every man's romance.

Not only was it cool, but it also possessed formidable offensive capabilities.

What man in the world could refuse the romance of a Star Destroyer?

The other concerned his own safety.

After all, this was such a dangerous world, and Chen Mu himself did not possess any Path power. What if he accidentally kicked the bucket?

His safety was naturally extremely important.

So he wondered whether he could use technology to borrow the power of Preservation Aeon Kliper to protect himself.

Fortunately, he ultimately succeeded.

The result also caught Preservation Aeon Kliper's attention, and the two had met once in the universe.

But that had already happened several years ago.

Preservation.

Kliper was the first Aeon Chen Mu had encountered in the Star Rail world.

Gotoh Hitori: "P-Preservation Aeon? Does that mean a god? So this is the power of a god?"

Gotoh Hitori's voice trembled slightly as she asked in disbelief.

Chen Mu: "More or less, but it's only a portion of an Aeon's power. It's nothing much."

Chen Mu: "As an ordinary person, I was weak. In order to protect myself in the universe, I developed a device capable of borrowing an Aeon's power."

Gotoh Hitori: "..."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "..."

Hoshino Ai: "..."

Kochou Kanae: "..."

The girls did not know what to say, but they were deeply shocked.

The power of a god.

Could it actually be borrowed?

Was it the kind where you borrowed it with permission and returned it afterward, or the other kind...

The more they thought about it, the more horrifying it felt.
