However, all of this was ultimately just a conjecture, a possibility that had flashed through Su Yunqing's mind.
Moreover, as a [Rule-Level Item], was the Chat Group's grade and upper limit necessarily eternal and unchanging?
Thinking back to the many Transmigrator Missions they had experienced, they had recycled so many systems, cheats, and rule creations with different functions.

So perhaps the Chat Group did not truly have an "upper limit," or rather, its upper limit was not fixed.
It would still depend on whether Bai Xuan's growth could keep up with the Chat Group's growth.
