My Chat Group Is Really Too Strange Chapter 38

Mo Wang spoke as he let go of Olga Marie and walked toward Lev.

"To be honest, I find your so-called Incineration of Humanity completely uninteresting. Reshaping human history? You people, who cannot understand humanity at all, really think you can accomplish that? You keep saying modern humanity is beyond saving, yet in the end, you still need humans. What a complete lack of imagination."

Incineration of Humanity? Heh, it was nothing more than a third-rate workplace farce filmed with a cosmic-scale budget!

That supposedly awe-inspiring Incineration of Humanity was just a trash plan cooked up by an AI that had a meltdown after being abandoned by its boss. It spent a full three thousand years on it, and this was all it managed to squeeze out?

It claimed it would prune human history, only to turn into the most absurd case of "pointless overtime" on the internet: three thousand years of overtime in exchange for a seven-day speedrun ending. Even the "Labor Law" would have to revise the "Demon God Pillar Protection Clause" overnight after seeing that!

It called itself "precisely incinerating the foundation of Human Order," but its actual operation was like a drunk deleting a database: it cursed humanity for being a BUG while its own code was full of infinite loops nested inside "if-else" statements. When its client, Solomon, finally pulled the plug, the system logs were filled with "ERROR: Failed to understand the profound truth of human slacking."

You wanted to use eternity to deny the cycle of life and death? That was hilarious. It was like trying to dissect love with an Excel spreadsheet. You could not even make sense of "the old Director who worked himself to death" and "the junior who jumped into the Imaginary Sea for love," yet you dreamed of writing humanity's epitaph? You should retake Introduction to Giving Up—true eternity was "a cola after getting off work on Friday," not that light-polluting tentacle PowerPoint of yours!

Lev's expression shifted constantly. It was impossible to tell whether Mo Wang's foul mouth had angered him or whether he simply could not determine who Mo Wang really was.

It felt as though every single one of their plans had been exposed to him.

"Who exactly are you? Did the Counter Force send you?" Lev asked warily as he watched Mo Wang.

"Sigh~ To be honest, I would love to have two little lolis standing behind me too. Unfortunately, my boss is just a big black ball that cannot talk."

"What... did you say?" As Lev stared at Mo Wang, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous sensation.

"Want to see our boss? Let me warn you first: if you really see it, you might not be able to come back."

At that moment, everything before Lev vanished.

His body seemed to be drifting amid a sea of stars.

"What... is that?!"

Before Lev stood an enormous sphere that seemed to devour everything in existence. All light and heat, even concepts themselves, dissolved into nothingness within it.

It was an existence beyond even his comprehension.

Within that darkness, he seemed to see the Finality of the universe.

"That is my boss. We usually call it Void IX."

Mo Wang grinned savagely at Lev beside him.

PS: Every time I write, time tells me to hurry up and prepare some saved chapters.

But every time I do have saved chapters, I cannot resist using them to slack off.

It is terrifying, just like an infinite loop.

Genderbent Black-Hearted Merchant, Go Die!

In the end, Mo Wang still chopped off Lev's head.

Although he knew that would not actually kill the guy.

After all, as long as Goetia still existed, this bunch would not truly die.

Even so, Mo Wang did it anyway.

At least after doing it, he felt much better, did he not?

But after Lev disappeared, this Singularity reached its limit as well.

At the same time, the earth had already begun to split apart. Amid the earthquake, Mo Wang held Mashu and the Director as they waited for Roman's Rayshift.

The Rayshift was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, everyone had appeared inside Chaldea.

"Whew! That was really close. We nearly did not make it."

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Roman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You were too slow, Romani! You should have been prepared long ago!" The Director immediately began scolding Roman.

"Director, could you not say that? I have been working overtime nonstop for so long. Look, I even have dark circles under my eyes." Faced with Olga Marie's criticism, Roman began complaining bitterly.

"That is because you are always slacking off normally." Although Olga Marie was stern, seeing that Roman had held the fort at Chaldea while they were gone, she ultimately said, "Still, you worked hard, Roman. Thank you for this time."

"You do not need to thank me. Director, hurry up and take over the work. Honestly, I am almost at my limit."

With manpower severely lacking and multiple areas of Chaldea shut down, Roman was truly nearing his breaking point.

If Olga Marie did not come back soon, he would start wondering whether he was about to return to the Throne of Heroes.

"Ha~ It is finally over. There should not be anything left for me to do, right? I am exhausted. I need to go sleep."

Seeing that things were heading in a bad direction, Mo Wang immediately prepared to use his escape skill and get out of this hellhole.

But Roman grabbed Mo Wang's hand like an evil ghost.

"Where do you think you are going?" Roman stared fixedly at Mo Wang. His eyes, which had not slept in a long time, were bloodshot.

"Obviously, I am going to sleep. What else did you think?" Mo Wang replied righteously, then pulled free from Roman's grip with a look of disgust.

"Seriously? I have been working overtime for so long, and you are going to sleep now?" Roman stared at Mo Wang in grief and indignation. Did this guy's conscience not hurt at all?

"Hello, no. I threw my conscience to a stray husky ten years ago."

"You really dared to say that!"

"What else? I already brought the Director and Mashu back safely, and you still will not let me sleep? You capitalist!"

As Mo Wang protested against Roman exploiting his employees, Olga Marie walked over as well.

"Stop talking nonsense. We are short on manpower right now. You can rest after we deal with this mess."

"Hey, hey, hey, my lady, I just saved your life, did I not? Do you really have to order me around like this?" Mo Wang asked unwillingly upon hearing Olga Marie's words.

"Hmph! If you want to become Chaldea's Director, this much is nowhere near enough. Get moving already!"

"Wait, I never said I wanted to become Chaldea's Director. Why am I the one who has to do all this?" Mo Wang frowned, feeling as though Olga Marie's words carried another meaning.

However, just as Mo Wang was about to continue questioning Olga Marie, he saw that she had already started dealing with work.

"All right, Senpai. Since everyone is busy, let us go find Da Vinci-chan." Mashu naturally did not understand the meaning behind Olga Marie's words.

Seeing that Mo Wang had decided to help, she immediately grabbed him and prepared to get to work.

"Ah, that shady merchant. What a pain."

At the mention of a certain shady Chaldean merchant, Mo Wang immediately developed a terrible headache.

Calling her a genius would be less accurate than calling her a gigantic "Frankenstein mashup."

She could pull out a Gundam with her left hand, mold a Holy Grail with her right, and even produce a tiny magical television from her chest. Was this supposed to be the Renaissance?

It was clearly a cybernetic body modification site—she was so versatile that even Newton's coffin lid could not stay shut.

Just think about what she did in the game. "She sold green cards during the blue card era, then pretended to be a green card during the blue card era. The rules of the card pool were more mysterious than Mona Lisa's smile. Other people baited players into spending money with power, but you baited them with cosplay—one day a seamstress girl, the next day biker clothes. Those who knew would call you a Servant; those who did not would think you were collaborating with Infinity Nikki!"

She talked about "creating a future for Human Order," then turned around and made Masters work 24/7. Was she running a Chaldea convenience store or something? Open twenty-four hours a day, all year round, with smiles, likes, and air wages as payment—even the most evil capitalists would hand you an HR license! She must have learned from the fairy who scammed eight million heroes.

Even in the real Chaldea, she was a genuine shady merchant. Whenever the staff needed to buy something from her, they had to pay at least triple the price.

The original price? That was the cost price!

"Hehe." Seeing Mo Wang's bitter expression, Mashu could not help laughing.

"But, Senpai, we will need Da Vinci's help in the end, will we not? We have to meet her sooner or later."

"That is exactly why I am worried."

Mo Wang wore a miserable expression.

Just as Mashu said, Chaldea could not clear the seven Singularities without Da Vinci.

Most importantly, she possessed the game's most essential feature—gacha pulls!

So, even though he knew she would scam away his meager savings, Mo Wang could only grit his teeth and go find Da Vinci.

"I seem to have heard someone calling for Da Vinci-chan."

A beautiful woman walked out from around the corner ahead at some unknown moment.

To be fair, Da Vinci's appearance truly was that of an almost perfect beauty.

But once he remembered that she was an utterly shameless merchant, little Mo Wang had no interest in her whatsoever.

"Oh my, look who it is. Is this not our great hero Mo Wang, who saved Chaldea, along with little Mashu? It has been so long. Did you miss me?" Seeing that Mo Wang and Mashu had arrived, Da Vinci immediately revealed a very delighted expression.

"I missed your banana hammer!" Mo Wang glared at Da Vinci with a bitter face. His expression was nearly good enough to cosplay Batman.

"Let me make this clear first: the Director has not paid me a single cent. All of Chaldea has already begun rationing supplies. Do not even think about getting an extra penny out of me! Not one cent!"

Mo Wang clutched his wallet tightly as though some unscrupulous merchant would snatch it away the next moment.

But seeing Mo Wang's actions, Da Vinci smiled even more happily.

To be honest, I really did not want to write this while writing it.

But it also felt a little wrong to put it on the shelves without saying anything.

So, since I have written it anyway, I might as well talk about my plans going forward.

I have read all of your comments.

And I have indeed realized that I was inexperienced in the early parts.

Originally, I wanted to write it with two stories for every protagonist.

But that really made things too dragged out.

So I changed it to one story per protagonist.

If necessary later, I will fill in the other unfinished storylines.

And I will do my best to avoid padding the plot. Although when I was writing, I was really just putting down whatever popped into my head.

As for readers saying I only knew things secondhand... honestly, that was pretty awkward.

From the subject matter I chose, you should be able to tell that the author is a player of the whole HoYoverse package.

Other than Tears of Themis, I play basically everything. Even Honkai Gakuen, which I have played for years. As for the early Honkai Impact 3rd story, I remembered it unclearly while also mixing in some strange Honkai Gakuen plot points.

Then, after I impulsively started writing this book and readers pointed it out, I went back to look over the story and only then remembered that I had gotten it wrong.

Here, hontou ni sumimasen! The author kneels on the ground, unable to rise again.jpg

Because this book will include a large number of games, some plots may not necessarily be written and will only serve as external power-ups.

There are also some that will definitely be written, but they will be placed later.

Since this book follows an overpowered protagonist route, I at least need to wait until the protagonist of that world becomes invincible before going there.

Speaking of which, ideas about the Captain storyline and the post-Honkai storyline have been constantly popping into my head lately.

Should I add the protagonists from those two storylines after finishing the main Honkai story? What? You are asking about the 2.0 main story? Does even a dog play that?

Finally, after saying so much—

Let us have a small reward event.

Every 500 recommendations, 100 monthly tickets, or 100 blades will add one extra chapter.

Silver support adds 10 chapters, gold support adds 20 chapters.

One extra chapter for every additional five hundred average subscriptions.

Please go easy on me! The author really does not have many saved chapters left!

"Oh my, of course I know supplies are scarce right now. But precisely because of that, the things at Da Vinci-chan's place will naturally be a little more expensive than before."

"Shady merchant! Do you know you are profiting from a war? You are the kind who gets hung from a utility pole!"

Mo Wang looked at Da Vinci, a rope already appearing in his hand. He looked ready to kill this shady merchant.

"Calm down, Senpai, calm down! There is no need for this!" Mashu reacted quickly and grabbed Mo Wang. Otherwise, Da Vinci might already have been tied up and sent somewhere.

"All right, all right, let us stop joking. I assume you two already know what state Chaldea is in now, right?"

Mashu nodded. "The doctor said that because Chaldea is not on the correct timeline, we cannot contact the outside world by any means..."

"Indeed. Based on the information we have, it may truly be as Lev said. Humanity outside has probably already been completely destroyed. At this point in time, we are the last surviving humans."
