On the Art of Manifesting Before the People in an Ordinary World

Su Lin watched the news broadcasting on TV, feeling his eyes grow a bit dry and his eyelids twitching continuously.

He casually opened the web browser on his computer and clicked directly on his previous search history.

Today, no strange events had occurred anywhere; all was calm and peaceful.

He picked up the eye drops beside him and squeezed two drops into his dry eyes.

This place was simply a normal parallel world.

Perhaps there were some supernatural events, but those were not things he, an ordinary person, could come into contact with.

"Anyway, I did my best."

Crossing over to become himself in a parallel world was one thing; after all, his parents were still his previous parents, along with a newcomer's perk like a system. In his heart, he also held a little bit of anticipation.

Yet since it was an ordinary world, the system given to him was neither some plagiarism system nor any super-celebrity system, but rather some Saint Manifestation System.

Indeed.

A supernatural system was better than an ordinary genre.

However...

Su Lin racked his brains yet couldn't figure out how an ordinary person could manifest before the people to gain points.

The newcomer gift bag produced two one-time items.

"Zochet's Linear Pocket Watch" and "Library Series - Ability Record".

[Zochet's Linear Pocket Watch]: I tried my best; even if I return to the past, the present cannot be changed—it will at most produce a new tributary. Then, so be it, let me escape, abandon everything in the present, plunder my past self, and let me indulge in that happiness which should not belong to "me".

Remarks: A one-time item. Upon returning to the initial time point once more, this item will permanently expire.

[Library Series - Ability Record]: Everything that exists in the world deserves to be remembered.--Fara.

The item even had a short story, which reminded Su Lin of his past days playing DNF.

However, Su Lin had no time to delve deeply into what was hidden behind these remarks.

Two items: the former allowed him to choose one opportunity to return to the past, but making changes would produce a parallel world—meaning returning to the past and making changes could not affect the future, only guide the past toward a parallel world.

The latter lasted for 24 hours, capable of recording some abnormal abilities and reproducing them, with the sole drawback being that the entire process from activation to use had to be recorded, and he could only use one ability each time.

In such an everyday world, he had no idea where to find abnormal abilities.

Without finding abnormal abilities, he couldn't manifest before the people to farm points, draw gacha, and exchange for cultivation techniques, thereby failing to achieve a sustainable development strategy.

This seemed to have fallen into a dead loop.

Illuminating Longevity Art, Eternal Undying Method, Stars at Fingertips, Creation Illustrated Tome...

Elixir of Immortality, Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, Staff of Ashes, Law Simulation Device...

Apart from the difficult starting phase, this system truly had nothing bad about it; items of all categories from novel websites were inside the system.

Looking at the dazzling array of exchange lists and card pool rewards, tears inadvertently flowed down from the corners of his mouth.

Ever since graduating from college, he had been unemployed and staying at home for half a year; if he still couldn't find a job, his family's financial support would be cut off.

Before crossing over, he had also found a fairly stable job after graduating from college.

Yet who could have imagined that he would study civil engineering in this world!

Was this the parallel world produced by choices?

Could it be that he had to go to the construction site to pour concrete?

No way, himself in the parallel world had been unable to endure it and had run away with his bucket; returning to the construction site to pour concrete—how could that be manifesting before the people?

Could it be filming short videos playing as a non-mainstream worker pouring concrete... did that count as manifestation?

The system prompted him that the achievements he made, as long as they could leave a record among a certain number of people, would earn him points.

OK, everyone eyes on me, I am going to announce something...

Actually, Su Lin still had a plan, which was to record various historical events of recent years, then travel back to the past to act as a soothsayer.

The risk lay in the fact that...

Without any self-preservation ability, he would most likely disappear from the public eye first... and then this item would be wasted.

Just as Su Lin took out an exquisite silver pocket watch larger than his hand and fell into hesitation, a sudden voice echoed in his mind.

"The Heavens Chat Group is opening. Su Lin, Xiao Yan, Han Li, Ye Fan, Monkey D. Luffy, and Shirou Emiya have joined the group."

"Congratulations to everyone for becoming internal test members of the chat group."

"This group is committed to building friendly communication between different worlds, crossing world barriers to break down information walls, and making contributions to the evolution of various worlds."

"This group has no group leader, but will appoint duty administrators based on activity levels and group member votes."

"The duty cycle is one year, and administrators and group members will receive fixed gift bags every month."

"To shape a harmonious and civilized chat environment, group members must not engage in killing one another; violators will be forcibly removed from the chat group."

Su Lin didn't quite react in time.

What on earth was this? Wasn't I a system-genre protagonist?

*Ding—This month's group member gift pack has been distributed.* *Congratulations, you have obtained three chat group World-Breaking Talismans (must be used with the consent of the other group member; once the other group member leaves the world, you will be forcibly expelled).* *Now everyone can start chatting.*

No way, they could even play it like this, wait... weren't those group members characters from anime and novels.

Monkey D. Luffy: "Chat group? What is this, hey hey, is this someone's Devil Fruit ability! Kaido's subordinates!?"

Someone tagged you.

A message flashed before Su Lin's eyes.

Monkey D. Luffy: "@everyone Whoah, what is this."

Xiao Yan: "Don't mess with me, has Old Ma's business expanded across worlds now, spare me, I really have no money. @Monkey D. Luffy, I have a bit of an impression of you, are you the man of the pirates?"

Ye Fan: "If I remember correctly, he is the man who's going to become the Pirate King. I never thought that even after arriving on other planets, I would still run into something like a chat group. @Xiao Yan, are you a fellow countryman from Earth?"

Monkey D. Luffy: "That's right, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who's going to become the Pirate King! Ah, I'm going to start the celebration banquet! Meat meat meat!!!"

Xiao Yan: "Another planet? Damn, I transmigrated in 2009, which year did you go to outer space, brother."

Ye Fan: "2010."

Xiao Yan: "???"

Xiao Yan was just wondering why humans entered the interstellar era after a single year.

Ye Fan: "My situation over here is a bit complicated."

Prompt: Shirou Emiya (group member has entered a soul state)

Xiao Yan: "..."

Ye Fan: "..."

Su Lin: "..."

Prompt: Group member Shirou Emiya has been revived

Xiao Yan: "Cow."

Ye Fan: "Cow."

Su Lin: "Indeed."

Su Lin ignored the sit-ups of a certain pole-vaulting protagonist, weighed his options, and spoke in the group.

Su Lin: "Thanks, people just transmigrated, parallel world."

Li Feiyu: "Fellow Daoists, may I ask what kind of thing this chat group is?"

He actually changed his name on the very first instance.

But wasn't this a bit like burying one's ears to steal a bell.

Su Lin fell silent for a moment, and still decided to come out and make things clear.

Su Lin: "Fellow Daoist Han, I know you. To be precise, I know everyone present."

Li Feiyu: "?"

Han Li, who was currently in the Chaotic Star Sea, furrowed his brows. He was not surprised that his name change was discovered, but judging by this person's tone, did he also know him down to his very roots?

Fortunately, he was currently in the Chaotic Star Sea, so people from Heavenly South should not be able to find this place.

Su Lin: "Just like how you all know the pirate, Wong Luffy, the reason is the same—I know all of you as well."

Su Lin: "Mm, who knows, maybe someone will know me in the future."

Ye Fan: "Understood..."

Xiao Yan: "This is getting absurd."
