The Arrival of Three New Members

[Ding! Wuxi Iron Finger Ring has joined the Chat Group!]

[Ding! Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist has joined the Chat Group!]

[Ding! Demons and Monsters Begone has joined the Chat Group!]

Three strange chimes rang out, exactly like when Flender had first unlocked the Chat Group, only to be immediately followed by several more notifications.

[Ding! Group livestream function unlocked]

[Ding! Group Check-in function unlocked]

[Ding! Group Mall function unlocked]

[Ding! Group background information has been implanted]

The world of Kung Fu Panda.

Master Shifu was grieving over the madness of Tai Lung, the disciple he had raised as his own son, when an inexplicable voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"What? Who is it? How did—"

But the implanted information from the Chat Group immediately left Master Shifu bewildered.

"A Chat Group that connects all worlds? What is this? And its name is... Educating People!?"

The world of One Punch Man.

Bang looked at the red-haired youth with an arrogant expression as he collapsed, his face complicated. This child really resembled his younger self.

"Carry him to a bed and take good care of him."

The moment he finished speaking, Bang froze as the sudden information in his mind filled him with confusion.

"Educating People Chat Group?"

The world of Jackie Chan Adventures.

"Jackie Chan, come give Tohru a hug."

"Oh, Uncle, I think I still need some time to get used to this."

Uncle happily introduced the antique shop's new member and was about to tell Jackie Chan the good news that Jade Chan would be staying when static suddenly filled his mind.

"Aiya! Who turned on the television!?"

[Flender: @Everyone, I didn't expect new members after so long. It feels like the Chat Group only opened yesterday. Everyone, welcome. The Chat Group should have already told you the specifics.]

[Dumbledore: What is going on?]

[Zephyr: What happened?]

[Samuel Oak: New members joined. Judging by the names, two martial artists and a magician?]

[Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist: That is correct. I am Bang, and I suppose I count as a martial artist. Are you all truly from other worlds?]

Though Bang quietly muttered to himself, he was quite accustomed to the culture of young people and did not question it. He quickly changed his name back to his real one.

[Demons and Monsters Begone: Aiya! What are you people, and why did you suddenly appear in Uncle's head? Has a new demon appeared!?]

Of course, some old antiques still did not quite understand what was happening, and their messages were somewhat confused.

[Flender: @Demons and Monsters Begone, well, calm down, sir. Think about your Chi magic. We are not your enemies.]

[Demons and Monsters Begone: You are?]

[Master Shifu: If you truly are from other worlds, then what is the purpose of bringing us here?]

Although he had changed back to his real name, Master Shifu's actual name was simply "Master Shifu."

[Flender: To communicate and learn from one another~ Master Shifu, you know, many hands make light work. No one can survive alone.]

[Dumbledore: We are all headmasters or teachers with students or disciples. This was initiated by Flender, and its purpose truly is communication.

If you can tell us something about your worlds, perhaps we can offer help.]

[Bang: You mean that in your worlds, there may be stories about us? In books, or on television?]

[Flender: As expected of Mr. Bang, your mind is sharp.

To be precise, I should know all of your stories. They come from memories of my previous life.

Ah, right. If you do not trust us, you can first look through these files—@... series and so on.

They contain our stories. Once you understand them, you will know that we are not bad people.]

[Bang: You really do seem to know me. I am starting to believe you.

Then let me introduce myself. My name is Bang. I used to be a delinquent, but now I am a martial artist. I run a dojo, and not long ago I heard that a hero organization meant to serve the whole world was about to be established. I plan to become a professional hero.]

[Flender: Just as I thought. Then, Mr. Bang, is your older brother named Bomb? And have you taken in a disciple named Garou yet?]

[Bang: That is right. As for a disciple named Garou, I do not know who that is yet. However, I just met a very unusual young man.

I think I will take him as my disciple. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be Garou? Is his future related to the future of my world?]

[Flender: How perceptive~ That is right. Garou did indeed shake the world, though in a bad way.

After completing his training, he caused havoc at the dojo, beat down all his fellow disciples, and was expelled by you.

Afterward, he went on to hunt heroes, and in one terrible future, he nearly wiped out humanity.]

[Master Shifu: What!?]

[Samuel Oak: ? Why is Master Shifu the one who is shocked?]

[Zephyr: Could it be... @Master Shifu, did your disciple also betray the school?]

[Dumbledore: That is truly a sad story.]

[Bang: Wait, @Flender, what did I just hear? Wiped out humanity? What did that brat do!]

[Flender: @Zephyr Samuel Oak Dumbledore, yes. If this Master Shifu is the one I know, then his disciple also betrayed the school, harmed innocents indiscriminately, and injured his master.

@Bang, I cannot explain the details in just a few words. See for yourself. But I will say this: that child still has a chance to turn things around.]

[Ding! The One Punch Man and One Punch Man Remake series have been released. They match member Bang's worldview. The Chat Group has automatically completed them and converted them into real fate trajectories. Only member Bang may view them.]

[Ding! The Kung Fu Panda series has been released. It matches member Master Shifu's worldview. The Chat Group has automatically completed it and converted it into a real fate trajectory. Only member Master Shifu may view it.]

[Ding! The Jackie Chan Adventures series has been released. It matches member "Uncle Chan"'s worldview. The Chat Group has automatically completed it and converted it into a real fate trajectory. Only member "Uncle Chan" may view it.]

[Uncle Chan: Aiya! What is this!?]

After discovering that this was not Dark Chi, the old antique Uncle had only just methodically changed his name when a huge mass of text appeared on the panel.

[Uncle Chan: With Uncle's eyes, so many words... eh, Uncle can see them clearly.]

[Dumbledore: This Chat Group is quite wondrous. We can understand the meaning of words we do not recognize. It is not like reading, but directly comprehending the information itself. It is even more dreamlike than magic.]

[Flender: @Master Shifu Bang Uncle Chan, information about your worlds is here. You may go in and take a look. I also want to know how the real worlds on your side differ from what I know.]

It was like One Piece, which had still not ended in Flender's previous life. Even after conversion, the worldline had only been woven up to the point Flender had last known.

The functions of this Chat Group were more rigid than he had imagined.

The group fell silent for a moment. The three new members all prepared to give it a try, and even the old-fashioned Uncle calmed down after seeing familiar names.

Taking advantage of the lull, Flender finally had time to examine the Chat Group's new functions.
