Tang Ya had logged off to get revenge, but the Group Chat was still lively.
The Chat Group system sent Chu Mo a message.
[As the group owner, you must keep the Group Chat active. A progress reward is hereby granted. When the Group Chat reaches Level 3, you will receive a special reward.]
[After analyzing the Group Chat, we found that the most discussed topics are speculation and the past. As a special reward, the group owner will receive the Dream Manifestation Ability (which turns memories in your mind into videos). Please keep working to level up and make the most of everyone's curiosity.]
Oh~
Chu Mo's eyes lit up at the mention of a special reward. He'd thought the group owner got nothing when the Group Chat leveled up, but it seemed not bad after all. The tangible reward wouldn't come until next time, but at least now he had something to look forward to.
This Manifestation Ability—didn't it let him make videos for them to watch?
How could he draw people in? Maybe he could hold a poll? For instance, Huo Yu'er, who would become a god in the future, and Meng Hongchen, who fell in love with Wang Dong'er in men's clothes.
That would surely make the Group Chat take off. Then he could grow stronger and protect the people he cared about.
[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: @Chu Mo, are you the Chu Mo I know? What is this, exactly?]
Only after seeing the mention did Chu Mo snap out of his thoughts. He looked over and saw that Xiao Xiao was asking him what was going on.
Right, they had two new group members today. They should at least be able to guess who they were.
[Cat Who Controls Speed: I want to ask too. What is this, exactly? Why do I get electrocuted when I speak?]
[Revenge Girl: This is a Chat Group. We can chat and send things. You can check the announcement for details. The group owner said it was his cheat, though I don't know what that means. But I really did get the reward, and it's great.]
Meng Hongchen, who was usually the most talkative, had already taken the item to ask her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, for a favor. Naturally, she had no time to check the chat.
Ju Zi could only explain what she knew, which wasn't much.
Chu Mo thought her explanation was more or less right. As for the parts she hadn't mentioned, they were probably things that had only just been added, which he'd only just learned about himself.
[Chu Mo: @Xiao Who Plays the Flute, I'm right next to you. You can add friends now. Add me.]
When Xiao Xiao in the classroom saw the confirmation, she was completely stunned. She turned around in shock and saw Chu Mo smiling at her with a confident look.
"Okay~"
The gentle smile made Xiao Xiao blush a little. She nodded in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Seeing the shy, adorable little girl, Chu Mo covered his mouth and chuckled. Then he quickly tapped the screen and sent her a private friend request, along with requests to the others.
You got two Soul Power levels for each new friend. Who wouldn't take advantage of that?
He was at Level 32 now, and there were eight people in the Group Chat. Excluding himself, he could add seven friends and gain fourteen levels. That was practically as good as eating an Immortal Herb!
Beep, beep, beep~
The sound of a friend request being accepted rang four times. Those who hadn't accepted either didn't have time or hadn't seen the request. That left the group member called "Cat Who Controls Speed."
Chu Mo didn't think much of the ones who hadn't accepted. It was fine to be cautious, and he knew the others in person.
[Private Chat] Dong'er is Not a Girl: This Immortal Herb really is useful, but I don't have anyone I love right now. How am I supposed to pick it? Am I just supposed to look at it?]
[Private Chat] Grilled Fish Girl: It really can increase your Soul Power Level?]
[Private Chat] Revenge Girl: Group owner, I'm really curious. What exactly is your identity? You have such godlike abilities and so many resources.]
[Private Chat] Xiao Who Plays the Flute: Other people can't see this Group Chat, right?]
All four of them had sent him private messages. Chu Mo helplessly rubbed his forehead and could only reply one at a time.
[If you want to keep it, keep it. If not, sell it. There are plenty of ways to hype it up.]
[Of course it's true. Store it in your inventory for now, then refine it tonight when you get back.]
[I'll tell you who I am when the time is right.]
[That's right, other people can't see it. Don't tell anyone about the Group Chat, or you'll be punished.]
Chu Mo had just sent the last reply when the first person he'd messaged had already answered. He was too busy checking the response to think about anything else.
The Divine Realm.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been studying in the divine hall, had finally worked up the courage to join the conversation. But in an instant, no one was paying attention to her.
Her expression shifted from green to purple.
[Cat Who Controls Speed: Anyone there? Why did you stop talking?]
After asking and getting no response, Zhu Zhuqing could only let out a quiet sigh and look into the so-called Group Chat announcement, trying to figure out what it was for.
"There's really an Immortal Herb?"
With her eyes closed, Zhu Zhuqing read the announcement, which said that a winner would be selected during a level-up to receive a reward. Then she looked again at the picture Wang Dong'er—the Tang Wutong she knew—had sent.
"Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"
What was this?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what to say. This Group Chat seemed to be real.
[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Anyone there? Anyone? I'm in class, and this old woman won't stop going on and on. She keeps talking about this and that, and in the end she still makes us do weighted runs.]
Seeing "Tang Wutong" complain, Zhu Zhuqing smiled affectionately.
[Cat Who Controls Speed: This is really useful. I remember Tang San's teacher, Grandmaster, had the Shrek Seven Devils run with rocks on their backs.]
[Dong'er is Not a Girl: We have to run 120 laps around Shrek Plaza. I can't even feel my legs anymore. Tomorrow we have to run 100 laps with weights. I feel like I should just drop out.]
[Grilled Fish Girl: Same here. If Wang Dong hadn't helped me, I might have been expelled already.]
[Cat Who Controls Speed: Come on, you have to stick with it. It only works if you're persistent.]
[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Little kitty, don't act like it's easy when you don't have to do it! Didn't you read the chat above? The group owner said that running to train your body is nothing compared to an Immortal Herb from Tang San.]
Zhu Zhuqing's mouth twitched as she read that in the Divine Realm.
Why was Wutong so rude? How could she talk to her aunt like that?
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Divine Realm,
Tang San returned from Zhu Zhuqing's place and went to the divine hall where Xiao Wu was resting.
Seated on the sofa in her red Asura Outfit, Xiao Wu was admiring something. When she heard Tang San arrive, she hurried to her feet and asked with a bright smile,
"Third Brother, when can we bring Xiao Qi back?"
Hearing that, Tang San grumbled inwardly. If Tang Wutong came back, how would he manipulate the fate of the plane?
But he couldn't let Xiao Wu hear that. What would he do if his sword's sheath ran off? So he reached out to hold her hand and replied earnestly,
"We can't rush this. Wutong needs to grow, and the Douluo Continent is better suited for her to gain experience."
Xiao Wu's lips immediately puckered, and she looked a little disappointed. As a mother, it was impossible not to miss her child. But it seemed that gaining experience was important too, so she said nothing more and instead asked,
"Third Brother, what did Boss Dai want with you just now?"
"Zhuqing had some problems with her cultivation and asked me to examine her, but she's resting now."
Tang San nodded and returned to the spot where Xiao Wu had been sitting earlier.
"Ah, she had problems with her cultivation?"
"Yeah. It didn't seem like she was pretending. Xiao Wu, if you're free later, go check on her. Maybe we couldn't talk about it properly there, but you two girls might find it easier to talk."
