"Cross-border Invitation Letter, and Realm-Breaking Talismans!"
Lin Yu stared brightly at the two items, seeming to see in them a possibility of breaking free from the Main Universe's lock.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yu immediately began looking into ways of earning Points.
So far, the Chat Group had only opened two channels for obtaining Points.
The first was chatting in the group to increase activity.
Each person could gain up to 100 activity points and 10 Points per day.
The second method was the final option: [Group Files]!
As long as a group member uploaded a document to [Group Files], the Chat Group would calculate its value according to some algorithm and award the uploader a certain amount of Points proportionally.
After opening [Group Files], Lin Yu found that there were already quite a few documents inside.
At the very top, and with the highest value, was Fan Xian's uploaded Overlord True Qi.
Below that were modern subjects such as Classical Mechanics and High School Mathematics.
Honestly, in terms of potential and value alone, this knowledge should have far surpassed a Cultivation Method.
But considering that the group members who uploaded the knowledge had all traveled to feudal eras, reconstructing the vast knowledge system of their previous lives from memory alone was indeed difficult. It was understandable that this would happen.
What was more, the Joy of Life world was not an ordinary ancient world, but a future world that had redeveloped after a nuclear winter.
Rather than a Cultivation Method, Overlord True Qi was more like a paper—one on the research topic of <How New Humans After a Nuclear Winter Use Traditional Chinese Medicine Meridian Theory to Absorb Nuclear Radiation>.
From this perspective, the Chat Group's algorithm was quite reliable.
Lin Yu swept his gaze over the uploaded documents and quickly fixed it on the upper-right corner of the Group Files interface.
There were two particularly noteworthy lines of numbers there:
[Activity: 0 (873/10000)] [Contribution: 0 (333/5000)] [Note: Once the phased requirements are met, the next group function will be unlocked.]
Clearly, the zeroes before activity and contribution were Lin Yu's current figures, while the numbers in parentheses were the total for all members of the Chat Group.
With a total activity score of 873, assuming the three members had maxed out their activity every day, then today should have been the third day since they opened the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.
...Only three days?
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised. He had thought he was at least a few years late!
As for the contribution value on the second line, Lin Yu believed it referred to Points: 87 Points from 873 activity, plus 246 Points earned by the three members from uploading files, totaling exactly 333.
Once he understood what those two lines represented, Lin Yu immediately began organizing his magical knowledge and uploading it one file at a time.
Soon, upload notifications began popping up frantically in the chat window:
[Group member 'Lin Yu' uploaded group file Basic Meditation Method] [Group member 'Lin Yu' uploaded group file The Essence of Magic Power] [Group member 'Lin Yu' uploaded group file Introduction to Basic Spells and Magic] [Group member 'Lin Yu' uploaded group file <The Elements That Compose the World: Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water>] [Group member 'Lin Yu' uploaded group file <Demon God's Holy Scripture, Chapter One: Gonggong Hits Pillar · Heaven Tilts, Earth Collapses>] [Group member 'Lin Yu' uploaded group file...]
Messages popped up one after another, instantly drowning out the conversation between the three group members.
A full five minutes later, the madly scrolling messages finally came to a complete stop. Yet the three little group members who had witnessed the scene remained blankly staring at the chat window in their minds, unable to recover for a long while.
For a moment, the entire Chat Group fell into an eerie silence.
Lin Yu did not pay attention to the activity in the Group Chat. His gaze turned toward the numbers in the upper-right corner of Group Files.
[Activity: 100 (973/10000)] [Contribution: 16652 (16985/5000)]
16,652 Points!
Seeing that exaggerated number, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.
At the same time, the three little group members, still lost in shock, finally came back to their senses.
[Su Haoming: !!!] [Fan Xian: !!!] [Yun Ye: !!!] [Su Haoming: @Lin Yu Big Boss! Please carry us!] [Fan Xian & Yun Ye: +1] [Lin Yu: ...] [Su Haoming: Big Boss surfaced!] [Fan Xian: With so much magical knowledge, did you travel to a magic world?] [Lin Yu: More or less.] [Lin Yu: Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yu, a transmigrator. I'm currently in a Western fantasy world, and I'm a mage.]
Out of certain concerns, Lin Yu did not reveal his true identity.
After all, the Group Mall had Realm-Breaking Talismans capable of forcibly entering a Member World. Lin Yu worried that his identity as a Dimensional Demon God would frighten these youngsters from low-magic worlds, causing them to read too much into it and develop a trace of wariness and resistance. That would not be good.
So, he chose an identity that people could more easily accept, hoping to build a good relationship with these group members so they would willingly use the Cross-border Invitation Letter to invite him into their worlds.
Clearly, after his previous bout of frantic spam uploads, no one doubted Lin Yu's identity as a mage.
[Su Haoming: Big Boss, may I ask which Western fantasy world it is?] [Lin Yu: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End] [Lin Yu: The two of them probably don't know it, but you might have seen it.] [Su Haoming: I see!] [Su Haoming: No wonder I always felt like you weren't in the same genre as us.] [Fan Xian: What do you mean, "I see"? What is Frieren: Beyond Journey's End?] [Su Haoming: An anime that blew up in 2023. You two old-timers definitely haven't watched it.] [Su Haoming: If that's the case, Big Boss, you should know their identities too, right?] [Lin Yu: I do.] [Lin Yu: Fan Xian is the male lead of Joy of Life, transported to a future world that redeveloped after a nuclear winter. Yun Ye is the protagonist of Tang Dynasty Brick, transported to the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty.] [Su Haoming: @Fan Xian @Yun Ye!!] [Su Haoming: Look, look!] [Su Haoming: What did I tell you?!] [Fan Xian & Yun Ye: ...] [Yun Ye: So the two of us truly are fictional characters?]
Tang Dynasty World, Yun Mansion in Chang'an.
Yun Ye sat in a recliner on the balcony of the attic in the rear courtyard, listening to the little maids chasing and playing in the yard, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
After traveling to this Tang Dynasty world that differed somewhat from official history, he relied on the knowledge from his previous life and crops such as potatoes that he had inexplicably brought with him. By presenting auspicious wonders and methods of salt production, he became the Marquis of Lantian County of Great Tang.
Even more strangely, his appearance was remarkably similar to the Yun Clan's ancestor from the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty. Old Madam Yun therefore mistook him for her grandson, and just like that, he became the Yun Clan of Lantian's only male descendant.
All of it was simply too much of a coincidence.
Yun Ye had once wondered whether some invisible hand behind the scenes was controlling his Destiny.
But wondering was one thing. When two people in a Chat Group that had appeared out of nowhere told him with absolute certainty that there really was a hand behind him writing his Destiny, it was naturally still difficult to accept!
He was not the only one. Fan Xian of the Joy of Life world had the same concern.
And compared to Yun Ye, the future Fan Xian had to face was even harsher...
To be honest, they had already vaguely confirmed it when Su Haoming first brought up the matter.
But for various reasons, they had continued clinging to a shred of hope, unwilling to admit the truth aloud.
In short, at the same moment, the two men in different worlds wore equally complicated expressions. Both pairs of eyes were fixed on the chat windows in their minds, waiting for the new Big Boss's response.
[Lin Yu: That's right. You really are the protagonists of your respective worlds.] [Lin Yu: But even so, there's no need to take it too seriously.] [Lin Yu: After all, there was no such Chat Group in the original novels...]
Seeing those words, Yun Ye and Fan Xian were both stunned.
That was right. How had they not thought of that!
From the moment they obtained this Chat Group, their Destinies had already deviated from their original tracks.
[Lin Yu: Besides, if new members join in the future, perhaps someone might have read my story too!]
