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

The joy that had filled his face after devouring Muzan Kibutsuji and reaping enormous gains had now vanished without a trace.

Compared to the Longevity Medicine, compared to a million Points...

What did Muzan Kibutsuji even matter?!!

This thing could actually be made?

Hoshino Ai: "Ahhh, I'm blind—really blind! No matter how many times I look, all I see is the Longevity Medicine! What has blinded my eyes? It's Lord Chen Mu's unparalleled talent!"

Hoshino Ai: "Chen Mu, Lord Chen Mu, come out quickly! May I ask if you still need a beautiful girl by your side to cling to your thigh? I think I'm more than qualified!"

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Cling to thigh +1, sob sob... Lord Chen Mu clearly told me there was no point in going to his world. I listened to him and went to Kanae's world, where I worked so hard to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji, only for him to turn around and invent the Longevity Medicine."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Lord Chen Mu is too much. He actually deceived innocent little me."

Chen Mu: "Ahem, you can't put it that way. At the time, hadn't the Longevity Medicine not been invented yet?"

Chen Mu coughed dryly.

Seeing that everyone had been drawn in by the system notification, he could only come out and explain.

Chen Mu: "Besides, the reason I was able to create the Longevity Medicine was because of Kanae's world."

Kochou Kanae: "Because of my world?"

Kochou Kanae was clearly stunned.

Chen Mu: "That's right. Did you all forget? When I went to the Demon Slayer World last time, didn't I bring back a drop of Douma's blood? It was because of that drop of blood that I created the Longevity Medicine..."

Kochou Kanae: "???"

Hoshino Ai: "???"

Gotoh Hitori: "???"

Everyone's heads were full of question marks.

Holy crap?

Just one drop of blood had created the Longevity Medicine?

Didn't think they didn't understand what the Longevity Medicine was!!!

No matter the world or era, this was something countless people had pursued!

Everyone screamed inwardly, their hearts filled with disbelief.

Gotoh Hitori: "I-Is it really that simple?"

Chen Mu: "It really is that simple. Don't the demons in the Demon Slayer World live forever? Would obtaining their blood not be enough? This was practically an open-book exam."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "..."

Hoshino Ai: "..."

Kochou Kanae: "..."

They really wouldn't know how to answer this open-book exam.

Everyone was weeping inwardly.

They had no idea what to say.

At a time like this, should they say...

That they and Chen Mu weren't people from the same world?

Or should they say that their intelligence simply wasn't on the same level as Chen Mu's?

Hoshino Ai: "Chen Mu, Lord Chen Mu, did the Chat Group take the initiative to ask you for the Longevity Medicine Technology this time too?"

Chen Mu: "Yeah. It wanted it, so I gave it to them."

Hoshino Ai: "..."

Hoshino Ai: "Waaah, I suddenly feel that instead of using Points to grow stronger, perhaps we should just give all our Points to Lord Chen Mu in the future and have him help us grow stronger. Lord Chen Mu is much more efficient than the Chat Group. Look, even the Chat Group still has to ask Lord Chen Mu for technology from time to time."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "That's true. After seeing Lord Chen Mu's Longevity Medicine, I suddenly feel that Muzan Kibutsuji is no longer so appealing. Compared to the Longevity Medicine, what does Muzan Kibutsuji even matter?"

Chen Mu could not help but laugh bitterly at that.

Well... how should he put this?

Each had its own advantages, perhaps?

Creating the Perfect Longevity Medicine earlier had cost Chen Mu nearly sixty thousand Points.

Now that one million Points had arrived in his account, Chen Mu's Points had once again become a massive sum—more than 1.04 million.

Something like the Longevity Medicine...

Chen Mu had never intended to fuse with it in the first place. He only needed to take a dose himself when the time came.

However...

After seeing the fusion description in the Chat Group...

Chen Mu's expression froze.

Because he realized that if he fused with the Longevity Medicine's ability—

Then—

What he gained would not merely be longevity.

It would be the many abilities born alongside longevity.

For example, the ability to heal others, the ability to grant others longevity, immortality, and so on.

Chen Mu's face was full of disbelief.

If that was the case, then wasn't this far too powerful?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to possessing the Abundance Aeon's abilities?

Ever since 5.1, when he had fused with Space teleportation technology, Chen Mu had already seen how extraordinary the Chat Group was. He had never expected it to be extraordinary to this extent.

This was simply an unexpected windfall.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mu gave up on taking the Longevity Medicine himself and chose to fuse it through the system instead.

"System, fuse the Longevity Medicine."

Ding! "Longevity Ability" selected successfully. 1,000,000 Points deducted.

After that, Chen Mu felt the Points in his balance rapidly disappear.

It returned to just over forty thousand.

But clearly, after "Longevity Ability" fused into him, he could feel the tremendous changes in himself as well.

Chen Mu's face was filled with delight.

This time, after gaining Trailblaze Aeon Qlipoth's Space ability, he now possessed Abundance Aeon Yaoshi's abilities as well!

Although this did not make him directly comparable to an Aeon in combat power, exchanging one million Points for an Aeon's ability was simply too worthwhile.

And at that moment, the Chat Group stirred again...

Ding! Tohsaka Rin has joined the Chat Group!

Ding! Yakumo Yukari has joined the Chat Group!

Ding! Erica has joined the Chat Group!

Chen Mu was somewhat stunned.

He had been in the group for quite some time now.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had seen newcomers join.

No new members had joined for a long time.

And now three had suddenly arrived at once. It was quite unexpected.

PS: Please send flowers! Please leave ratings! Please subscribe! Please send monthly tickets! Please donate!!! I'm begging everyone!!!

Hoshino Ai: "Hm? I didn't expect new members to join the group! Welcome, newcomers!"

Gotoh Hitori: "That's true... and there are three at once. This seems to be the largest number of people the Chat Group has ever added at one time~ That's great, there are more and more friends in the Chat Group."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Ara~ Since newcomers have joined, that means Mr. Chen Mu and I are seniors now."

Kochou Kanae: "Tohsaka Rin, Yakumo Yukari, Erica, welcome, welcome~"

Hoshino Ai: "Newcomers, come out and say something already!!!"

Tohsaka Rin: "..."

Tohsaka Rin: "What is this place? Why did it suddenly appear in my head? A Chat Group? Has technology advanced to the point where it can directly project something like this into my mind?"

Tokisaki Kurumi: "The opportunity to clear up a newcomer's doubts has arrived. Then everyone, leave this opportunity to me."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Hello, newcomer. This is a Chat Group that connects many dimensions—in other words, different worlds. We are people from different worlds. Some mysterious force established a link within our minds, allowing us to communicate across dimensions."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "We still do not know why the Chat Group exists or what its purpose is. However, everyone in the Chat Group can help one another, and we can also earn Points. Points are quite miraculous and can be used to accomplish all sorts of things."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "There are currently three ways to earn Points: 1, explain the chat group to newcomers; 2, check in daily in the chat group; 3, upload things the chat group needs. Oh, right—every newcomer also gets one free opportunity to travel to another world."

Ding! Group member Tokisaki Kurumi answered the newcomers' questions and was rewarded 100 Points.

As soon as Tokisaki Kurumi finished speaking, a notification flashed through the chat group.

Tokisaki Kurumi: "10,140 Points acquired. Thanks, everyone."

Hoshino Ai: "Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing. Kurumi, you already explained things very thoroughly."

Hoshino Ai: "But! There's one more thing you didn't mention, Kurumi!"

Hoshino Ai: "Chen Mu, newcomers, listen up! You might not know anyone else! But this person! I refuse to let you not know him! The biggest shot in this group! A super-big shot on the technology side! Not long ago, he invented the Space Teleportation Device, and just now, he invented the legendary Longevity Medicine!!!"

Chen Mu: "..."

Tohsaka Rin: "...Huh?"

Type-Moon world.

Hearing what Tokisaki Kurumi and Hoshino Ai had said, Tohsaka Rin was completely stunned.

A cross-dimensional chat group?

Dimensional beings from different worlds?

To begin with, that alone had already been beyond Tohsaka Rin's comprehension.

And now Hoshino Ai was saying that someone could invent a Space Teleportation Device and Longevity Medicine?

Science?

Was it the science she knew?
