Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "All right, Group Owner. Take care!"
Gentleman Sword: "Go ahead, Big Shot Qian."
Undead Knight: "Mm-hmm, Big Shot Qian. I'm off to catch up on the shows!"
"It seems to have pretty much the same features as those typical chat-group stories! No, it's even worse than those chat groups!"
After saying goodbye to Dongfang Bai and the others, Qian Xunji began carefully examining the features and privileges that had become available now that the Chat Group had an owner.
But as he looked, his brows gradually furrowed.
The benefits he'd gained from becoming the group owner were far from what he'd imagined.
First, there were the four so-called group-owner privileges.
Privilege One: Inviting members. The interval between invitations was unclear. Who knew how long he'd have to wait before he could invite someone again?
And he couldn't choose who to invite, either. If he ended up inviting nothing but ordinary people or scumbags like Yi Xiaochuan, all that waiting would have been for nothing.
As for Privilege Two, muting members, and Privilege Three, kicking them out, he could only use those when a member had angered everyone. If he casually muted or kicked people out, the other members might very well band together and overthrow him as group owner.
After all, if the group-owner position could be won through an election, then it could naturally be revoked, too.
As for how it could be revoked, if his guess was right, it would be either by him dying, like the previous group owner, or by the other members voting together to remove him.
Perhaps only Privilege Four, half-price purchases, counted as a real benefit for him as group owner.
However, when Qian Xunji opened the Myriad Worlds Mall, he found that it only had one item: the Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card.
"Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card: After purchasing, Chat Group members can use the card to travel freely to the worlds of other group members. Note: Each Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card can only be used once. Price: 50 points (the price after using the group-owner privilege for half off)."
Of the four privileges, some couldn't be used lightly, some were subject to a time limit, and at present, one only let him buy a single item.
And there was no privilege that let him receive a member's abilities unconditionally, without spending any points!
The group-owner privileges were nothing like what Qian Xunji had imagined.
As for the features the Chat Group had unlocked and improved now that the group owner had been confirmed and the number of members exceeded five, apart from the task system and points system, Qian Xunji wasn't very satisfied with any of them.
That was because most of those features weren't much use.
First was the so-called Myriad Worlds Chat Group Chronicle. It was basically just a document recording the Chat Group members' history. Apart from letting newcomers quickly learn about the Chat Group's past, it had little other use.
Well, perhaps its one real benefit was that when new members joined, the old-timers wouldn't have to spend ages explaining the Chat Group's origins.
The Myriad Worlds Chat Group Chronicle saved the older members the trouble of introducing themselves and explaining how the Chat Group came to be.
Next was Peaceful Coexistence. Qian Xunji didn't think much of this feature.
If someone wanted to harm a person, they didn't have to do it themselves or directly inflict harm on that person.
For instance, they could hire assassins in a group member's world and have someone outside the Chat Group hurt that member, directly or indirectly. Or they could travel to the member's world, kick them out of the group, and then kill them.
After all, the Chat Group only protected its own members. Once you'd been kicked out, you were no longer a member. If you were killed then, what did that have to do with the Chat Group?
There were far too many ways around Peaceful Coexistence's restrictions if someone wanted to harm another member, and plenty of methods they could use.
Group Live Stream was pointless. At most, you could use it to look at the scenery in other worlds.
As for the Myriad Worlds Mall, Qian Xunji was actually quite satisfied with that feature.
The only problem was that it currently had just one item.
Although that so-called Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card would undoubtedly become a hard currency for the Chat Group in the future,
after all, for now, buying a Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card was the only way to visit someone else's world!
But the key issue was that each card could only be used once. In other words, if he wanted to return to his own world, he'd have to buy another one!
A round trip would cost at least 100 points after using the group-owner half-price privilege. Qian Xunji was a big spender, and he wouldn't buy one unless he had to.
After all, he only had 3,600 points right now, not even enough to strengthen his skills once. A single upgrade cost at least 1,000 points.
And he'd only managed to earn that much after uploading all the memory copies from the group members.
(Uploading memory copies could also earn points. Each time someone downloaded a memory copy, its uploader received 100 points. This was one of the members' hidden perks. Qian Xunji only learned about it after checking his points.)
Lastly, there was Group Customer Service. This feature seemed pretty good. You could ask customer service anything about the Chat Group, making it a great way to learn about the group.
Unfortunately, it came at a cost.
Luckily, as group owner, he got one free inquiry each month.
One wasn't much, but it was free, so he might as well use it.
With that thought, Qian Xunji turned his attention to the Group Customer Service feature. After a moment's thought, he activated it.
