"Ding. Candidate group member detected—Bai Xuan's consciousness has awakened."

"Ding. Would the host like to join the Superdimensional Chat Group?"

The sudden mechanical voice left Bai Xuan somewhat at a loss. What had he just heard?

The Superdimensional Chat Group?

A Chat Group-type Cheat from novels?

"Was my transmigration your doing?"

Bai Xuan did not agree immediately. The arrival of a Cheat had not overwhelmed his mind with surprise; he had plenty of questions he hoped the Chat Group could answer.

"Ding. The host's transmigration was not caused by the Chat Group."

"Ding. The Chat Group detected the fantasy keyword—Earth—and randomly selected those with high fortune to enter the Chat Group. As there were no individuals with outstanding fortune on the host's planet, an agreement was reached with Earth Consciousness."

"Ding. The Chat Group shall initiate Reiki Revival. Earth Consciousness shall divide part of the World Authority among all living beings on Earth, and the Chat Group shall select the one with the greatest fortune."

"Ding. The host has awakened the authority ability—Nature—and possesses Earth's greatest fortune. Therefore, the host is invited to join the Chat Group."

The Chat Group's utterly emotionless voice spoke beside Bai Xuan's ear.

"So my transmigration had nothing to do with you?"

Bai Xuan frowned. This was truly beyond his expectations.

The Chat Group had sought him out because of his fortune, but Earth Consciousness, Reiki Revival, and all that—such a huge commotion was just to select someone with high fortune as a group member?

Besides, the gap between rich and poor on Earth was enormous, with power held in the hands of only a tiny minority. People who had been swept skyward by catching the right wave came one after another.

And you were telling him that no one on Earth had a clear advantage in fortune?

Then tell me, what counted as a gap? What the hell counted as a gap?!

"Ding. No one in this world is favored by fortune. They are all passersby."

"Ding. If they are merely passersby, how can there be any difference in fortune?"

"Ding. The Chat Group is also deeply puzzled. The host possesses the fate of a Transmigrator. According to comparative data from fantasy worlds, even if the host is not the protagonist of an era, he should still occupy an important role."

"Ding. Yet the host's fortune is no different from that of a passerby?"

Although the Chat Group's voice was cold and mechanical, perhaps due to his imagination, Bai Xuan could somehow hear its confusion and incomprehension, as though it had discovered something unbelievable.

Bai Xuan had nothing to say about that either. Although he was a Transmigrator and this world differed greatly from his previous life, he had never considered changing anything.

Other than maintaining a habit of fitness and exercise from childhood to keep himself healthy, his life had not differed in the slightest from his previous one.

He attended the same kind of school, made the same kind of friends, and lived an ordinary life with a little enjoyment mixed in.

As far as he was concerned, this kind of life was fine.

If not for the Chat Group, his future would probably have been to find a decent job and continue living an ordinary life like this.

There was nothing worth changing, nor was there anything he wanted to change.

As for why he thought this way, it was probably because he did not lack money.

If he had come from an ordinary family whose savings could not withstand a serious illness, then he would certainly have relied on the resources he possessed and worked hard to turn his life around. But the problem was, he did not lack money.

His parents both had their own companies, and his elders held some influence in their respective industries, so he had never needed to worry about money.

But every advantage had its drawback. After he turned fourteen, his parents' marriage had completely fallen apart. There had never been love between them, and after so many years, they had not developed familial affection either. Their separation had been inevitable.

When he was fifteen, both of them had started their own new families.

Yet neither of them had shorted him a cent. They each gave him five hundred thousand a month, making a million in living expenses. That was more than enough for him, since he had no particularly expensive hobbies.

When he was younger, he had considered whether he should change that ending, but after thinking it over, he decided to let it be. After all, they were quite happy after rebuilding their families.

At the very least, happier than when they had been together.

He had not chosen to live with either of them. He had seen videos before about choosing which parent to follow after a divorce, but in the end, as long as one's parents intended to remarry, it was unlikely that things would be happy.

Even if the new family treated you well, once they had a child of their own, there would inevitably be an obvious difference in priority.

Besides, living alone was not bad either.

He went to class normally, then hung out with his classmates on weekends. There was no way he could feel lonely.

"Ding. Would the host like to join the Chat Group?"

Perhaps Bai Xuan had remained silent for too long, because the Chat Group asked him once again whether he was willing to join.

"I'll join. I also want to see whether this Superdimensional Chat Group is what I think it is."

Bai Xuan nodded, and then the Chat Group's voice sounded by his ear.

[Group Prompt: Welcome to the Superdimensional Chat Group. Constructing a group name based on your information. Your group name is Son of Nature.]

"Ding. Group member [Son of Nature] has joined the Chat Group."

"Ding. Group member [That Is How It Is Meow] has joined the Chat Group."

"Ding. Group member [Golden Flash] has joined the Chat Group."

Be My Son: "Welcome, newcomer."

Be My Son: "I didn't expect newcomers to join so soon."

Uchiha Dance King: "Hmph. I hope this batch of newcomers has decent strength. Don't be like the last one and turn out to be ordinary people."

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "."

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "I suspect you're taking a jab at me, and I have proof!"

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "Welcome, newcomers."

Worst Spirit: "Welcome, newcomers~ If you doubt the Chat Group's existence, you can check the group files. They contain information about every member's world."

Worst Spirit: "And while we're at it, @Ordinary Group Owner, come out and greet the guests."

Ordinary Group Owner: "Uh, why does greeting guests sound so much like being a brothel madam? But whatever. Welcome, newcomers."

Su Yunqing looked at the newcomers who had joined this time and tilted her head.

Hmm, she could not figure out which work [Son of Nature] came from. [That Is How It Is Meow] was somewhat strange too, but barring any surprises, it should be Meowth from Team Rocket in Pokemon.

As for [Golden Flash], that one was easy to identify: Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha from the same world as group member Madara Uchiha.

This seemed all right? At least it was much better than the first time!

Thinking of this, Su Yunqing revealed a bitter smile. She had been the first to join this Chat Group and had naturally become its group owner. She had thought it was her Cheat.

But the Chat Group had used facts to tell her that she had been too naive.

Although she was the group owner, the only group owner privilege she had was a sevenfold discount.

It also lacked the Enlightenment Function commonly found in Chat Group novels, and she did not even have the authority to invite or kick people.

According to the Chat Group, every member had been found only after it had "carefully selected from thousands." Wouldn't kicking someone out be disrespecting it?

Who exactly was disrespecting whom? The group owner had no dignity at all.

Not long after helplessly accepting reality, the Chat Group invited three people in.

The World's Strongest Man from the One Piece World—Whitebeard; the Shura who had fought the entire Ninja World alone in Naruto—Madara Uchiha; and the Spirit of Time from the Date A Live World who had killed ten thousand people to make up for her regrets—Kurumi.

They were all ruthless people!!!
