"Chime, detected potential group member — Bai Xuan's consciousness has awakened."
"Chime, does the host wish to join the Hyperdimensional Chat Group?"
The sudden mechanical voice left Bai Xuan somewhat at a loss. What had he just heard?
Hyperdimensional Chat Group?
The kind of chat group in novels that serves as a golden finger?
"Is my transmigration... your doing?"
Bai Xuan did not agree immediately. The arrival of the golden finger did not overwhelm him with surprise; he had many doubts that he hoped the chat group could answer.
"Chime, the host's transmigration is not a result of the chat group."
"Chime, the chat group detected a key fantasy term — Earth. It randomly selected a person with high fortune to join the chat group. Since there was no one with outstanding fortune on the host's planet, an agreement was made with Earth's consciousness."
"Chime, the chat group initiated the revival of spiritual energy. Earth's consciousness will grant a portion of world authority to all living beings on Earth, and the chat group will select the one with the strongest fortune."
"Chime, detected the host's awakened authority ability — Nature, the strongest fortune on Earth, hence inviting the host to join the chat group."
The chat group's emotionless voice spoke in Bai Xuan's ear.
"So, my transmigration has nothing to do with you?"
Bai Xuan frowned, this was truly unexpected.
The chat group sought him out due to his fortune, but the revival of spiritual energy and Earth's consciousness — was all this just to select a member with high fortune?
Moreover, the wealth disparity on Earth was so vast, and power was held by a select few. People who were lifted up by the wind kept appearing one after another.
In such a situation, how could you tell me that there is no significant difference in fortune among Earth's inhabitants?
Tell me, what is the difference? What is the difference!
"Chime, in this world, no one is favored by fortune; all are mere passersby."
"Chime, if all are passersby, what is the difference in fortune?"
"Chime, the chat group is also very puzzled. The host has the destiny of a transmigrator. According to the data from the fantasy world, even if not the main character, the host occupies an important position."
"Chime, but 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 psychological reasons, Bai Xuan could sense the confusion and bewilderment, as if it had discovered something incredible.
Bai Xuan was speechless. Although he was a transmigrator and this world was different from his previous life in many ways, he had never thought about changing anything.
Apart from maintaining a habit of fitness and exercise since childhood, his life trajectory was no different from his previous life.
He attended the same school, made the same friends, and led a life that was ordinary yet enjoyable.
To him, this life was just fine.
If it weren't for the chat group, his future would likely have continued in the same ordinary way, finding a decent job and living a simple life.
There was nothing he wanted to change, and nothing he needed to change.
As for why he had this mindset... it was probably because he wasn't short of money.
If he came from an ordinary family with savings that couldn't cover a major illness, he would definitely have used his resources to turn things around. But the problem was, he wasn't short of money.
His parents both had their own companies, and his relatives had some influence in various industries, so he didn't need to worry about money.
However, with the good came the bad. His parents' marriage ended when he was fourteen, and without love, they had never developed a strong bond. Their separation was inevitable.
When he was fifteen, both of them had their own families.
But the money they gave him was not lacking; each parent provided 500,000 yuan per month, totaling 1 million yuan, which was more than enough for him. He didn't have any particularly expensive hobbies.
As a child, he had thought about changing this outcome, but after some consideration, he decided against it. After all, their new families seemed happier.
At least happier than when they were together.
He didn't choose to live with either parent. He had seen videos of children living with one parent after a divorce, but in the end, no matter which parent he chose, as long as they had the idea of remarriage, true happiness was unlikely.
Even if the new family treated him well, once their own child was born, the balance would shift.
Besides, living alone was also fine.
He went to school during the week and hung out with friends on weekends; he was never lonely.
"Chime, would the host like to join the chat group?"
It seemed that Bai Xuan had been silent for too long, so the chat group asked again if he wanted to join.
"Join, I want to see if this Hyperdimensional Chat Group is what I know it to be."
Bai Xuan nodded, and then he heard the chat group's voice.
[Group Notice: Welcome to the Hyperdimensional Chat Group. Constructing your group name based on your information... Your group name is Son of Nature]
"Chime, member [Son of Nature] has joined the chat group."
"Chime, member [Just Like That Meow] has joined the chat group."
"Chime, member [Golden Flash] has joined the chat group."
Be My Son: "Welcome, new member."
Be My Son: "I didn't expect a new member so soon."
Uchiha Dance King: "Hmph, I hope this new member has decent strength, unlike the last one who was just an ordinary person."
Boil Daigou into Soup: "......"
Boil Daigou into Soup: "I suspect you're hinting at me, and I have evidence!"
Boil Daigou into Soup: "Welcome, new member."
Worst Spirit: "Welcome, new member~ If you doubt the existence of the chat group, you can check the group files, which contain information about each member's world."
Worst Spirit: "Also @Ordinary Group Owner, come out and greet the new member."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Um... Greeting new members sounds a bit like a madam in a brothel, but never mind, welcome, new member."
Su Yunqing looked at the new members and tilted her head.
Hmm, this [Son of Nature] doesn't seem to be from any particular work, [Just Like That Meow] is a bit strange but is likely Meowth from Pokémon.
As for [Golden Flash], that's easy to determine — the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze from the same world as member Uchiha Madara.
Not bad, at least better than the first time!
Thinking about this, Su Yunqing smiled bitterly. She was the first to join the chat group and became the group owner by default, thinking it was her golden finger.
But the chat group showed her that she was being too naive.
Although she was the group owner, the only privilege was a sevenfold discount.
The chat group lacked the common enlightenment function found in chat group novels and even the ability to invite or kick members.
According to the chat group, each member was "carefully selected," and kicking someone would be disrespectful to it.
Who is disrespecting whom... the group owner has no authority.
After accepting this reality, the chat group soon invited three more members.
The strongest man in the One Piece world — Whitebeard, the demon from the Naruto world who could take on the entire shinobi world — Uchiha Madara, and the Time Spirit from the Date A Live world who killed ten thousand people to make up for a regret — Kuroka.
These are all formidable people!!!
