"Bibi Dong sent people to monitor and investigate me because she wanted to know what relationship there was between Lu Xiao, who appeared in the Star Dou Forest, and me. But they would never imagine that Lu Xiao and I were actually the same person.

"If there was no connection, Spirit Hall would apparently send someone to take me away next. After all, Innate Full Soul Power only appeared once in a hundred years. They would never let a talent like that slip away."

"Sigh, I can't even live a peaceful life. If I'd known, I wouldn't have meddled in other people's business in the Star Dou Forest."

Lu Chen sighed as he looked at the Spirit Hall scout he had already brought under control, then immediately ordered, "From now on, help me send false intelligence back to them."

"Yes, sir. This humble one will certainly carry out your task perfectly."

Lu Chen nodded in acknowledgment before returning to the classroom.

"Brother, where did you go?"

Gu Yuena had already woken up. In fact, she had noticed the instant Lu Chen left.

The Lu Chen beside her had merely been an illusion. As the powerful Silver Dragon King, she could still see through something like that.

As for the teacher and the other students, none of them had noticed that Lu Chen had gone out just now.

"Oh, it was nothing. Someone was spying on us, so I sent him away."

Gu Yuena nodded as if she understood, then lay down on the desk and went back to sleep.

Noon.

After the morning classes ended, Lu Chen took Gu Yuena, Xiao Wu, and the others to the academy cafeteria.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the teachers and students, Gu Yuena devoured dozens of dishes by herself, lifting each plate and directly pouring its contents into her mouth.

"Brother, this bowl is too small." Gu Yuena disdainfully pushed away her little bowl and looked at Lu Chen with wide, innocent eyes.

"Huh? But the academy cafeteria only has bowls this big."

"Brother is lying. Isn't there one over there?"

Gu Yuena pointed with her tiny hand. Lu Chen followed the direction of her finger and discovered that the big bowl she meant was actually the large wooden barrel used by the cafeteria to hold rice.

Lu Chen's mouth twitched. Gently stroking Na'er's head, he said, "Na'er, that's the wooden barrel everyone uses to get rice. It isn't a bowl."

"Na'er wants that wooden barrel." Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks, her attitude firm.

With no other choice, Lu Chen walked over under the astonished stares of the teachers and students and carried back the wooden barrel, which was even bigger than he was.

"Brother is the best!" Gu Yuena was delighted. Standing on a wooden stool, she ignored everyone staring at her as though she were a monster and dove straight into the barrel to start eating.

Xiao Wu looked at Gu Yuena battling inside the wooden barrel, then at her own already-round little belly, and could not help giving her a thumbs-up.

After the lunchtime commotion, the afternoon was when the work-study students cleaned the academy and earned money.

"Little San, how well has Brother Chen treated you?"

Lu Chen draped an arm around Tang San's shoulders, wearing an expression that said, You know what I mean, right?

"Little San, how well has Sister Xiao Wu treated you?"

Xiao Wu instantly understood what Lu Chen meant and jumped in as well.

"Huh? The training ground is so huge. How long will it take me to sweep it all?" Tang San pulled a long face. Did little brothers have no rights at all?

"Sigh, look at you. You really don't know how to behave. You follow Brother Chen here, eating well and living well, yet you won't even help Brother Chen share his burdens?"

"Isn't Sister Xiao Wu also freeloading off you?" Tang San retorted indignantly.

"Xiao Wu is a girl. How can that be the same? You're a grown man, yet you're picking a fight with a girl? That won't do. How are you supposed to find a wife in the future?"

Tang San wore a bitter expression as he reluctantly picked up a broom.

"That's more like it. Brother Chen won't treat you unfairly. Here, these Gold Soul Coins are your payment for the hard work."

Lu Chen took out a small bag of Gold Soul Coins and handed it to Tang San.

Tang San hesitated for a moment but accepted it anyway. These Gold Soul Coins would be of great use to him; he needed them to forge some hidden weapons.

"Brother Chen, where did you get so much money? These are Gold Soul Coins!"

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

After shooting Tang San a sidelong glance, Lu Chen left with Xiao Wu and Na'er.

Night.

After moving all their luggage and bedding from Dorm 7 to their new dormitory, Xiao Wu kept pestering Lu Chen for carrots.

Since he had promised Xiao Wu before, Lu Chen had no choice but to hand over the last carrot.

"Tang San went to study with Grandmaster. He probably won't be back until very late. Let's sleep first."

Lu Chen climbed onto his bed, but the moment he got on, Gu Yuena followed after him.

"Na'er wants to sleep with Brother."

Without waiting for Lu Chen to agree, Gu Yuena slipped beneath the blanket in a flash, leaving only her little head outside as she looked at Lu Chen with a flushed face.

Xiao Wu, who was combing her hair, saw this. Her previously good mood instantly vanished.

After shooting Lu Chen a vicious glare, she pulled the blanket over her head. Out of sight, out of mind.

Ding dong!

The Myriad Worlds Chat Group had invited you to join.

Lu Chen, who had been holding Gu Yuena as he slept, opened his eyes.

He first swept the surroundings with Mind Perception. After finding nothing unusual, he wondered whether he had misheard.

"Wow, welcome, newcomer! It's been so long since a new person joined."

"Oh? It's been three months already, right? A newcomer finally arrived?"

"Roar, roar!!"

"Welcome, newcomer. But I'm carrying out a mission, so I won't chat for now."

"Who are you people? What's going on?" Lu Chen was somewhat bewildered. Why were there suddenly voices of other people speaking in his head?

"Haha, that's definitely a newcomer's normal reaction. Let me, Shirahira Reika, introduce it to you!"

"Shirahira Reika?" Lu Chen was puzzled. Why did that sound like a Japanese name?

"This is the Myriad Worlds Chat Group. Every group member was invited here from a different world."

"Myriad Worlds Chat Group?!"

Lu Chen suddenly sat up in bed. Looking at the light screen before him, he seemed to understand.

What use is this thing? It doesn't even count as a system; it's just a chat group. I already have the Infinite Gem, so what do I need this for?

Lu Chen instantly lost interest in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

"Well? Isn't it surprising? Including you, there are already eight people and one monster in the group! Oh, no, it should be seven people, one demon, and one monster."

Lu Chen glanced at the member list beside the light screen and discovered that, apart from his own name, there were several others.

"Godzilla? Da Gu? Shirahira Reika? Liu Peiqiang? Kibutsuji Muzan? Kamado Tanjiro? Qilin? Alice?"

Lu Chen read the names one by one and was astonished to find them all incredibly familiar, as though he had heard or seen them somewhere before.

Lu Chen thought carefully. He had spent several years on the Douluo Continent, so he no longer remembered some things from his previous life very clearly. Some memories did not come back to him right away.

"Holy shit, aren't these all characters from anime and movies?"
