Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Seeing that all the immortals had raised their hands, Ningguang also raised her hand. All she could do now was to follow Li Yue's wishes as much as possible.

Keqing and Tianshu reluctantly raised their hands, while Yelan, not considering herself a Seven Star, did not participate in the vote.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's begin preparing to execute this plan."

In June, I looked towards the night orchid.

"Ye Lan, you will be in charge of the initial investigation of this matter."

"I?"

Ye Lan was somewhat surprised.

“That’s right. I know you. You are very capable and skilled in intelligence gathering. That’s why I specifically asked you to attend this meeting. I need you to go to Sumeru alone before our previous operation to investigate the situation there.”

"You mean, you want me to investigate the organization that conducts human experiments?"

“That’s right, just like I said, we need to make our claims stand. While we’re bringing up Nasita, we also need to find evidence of their crimes. Although I know about the evil things they’ve done, I haven’t found any evidence yet, so I need you to investigate.”

"I understand, I will set off today."

Ye Lan nodded in agreement. She was naturally happy that Li Yue was willing to use her, even though she had kidnapped Li Yue before. But now Li Yue was the Rock King, and this was an important mission from the Rock King.

"Don't rush the investigation. Remember, safety comes first. Avoid using anything official in Sumeru as much as possible. If you are discovered to be in danger and have no way to escape, just reveal your identity and say that you are a diplomat from Liyue. For Liyue's sake, they will at least be more cautious and dare not do anything to you."

"Thank you, Lord Yan Wang."

Ye Lan knew that Li Yue was concerned for her personal safety, and nodded happily. Although they were enemies before, he was surprisingly nice to her after becoming her boss.

"Alright, let Yelan go and scout ahead. We'll set off together once she's gathered intelligence! Meeting adjourned!"

The crowd returned to where they came from, and only the four people sitting around the stone table remained in the backyard.

Nasida, who had been silent throughout the second half of the match, couldn't help but look at Li Yue as she recalled what Li Yue had just said.

"Li Yue, actually..."

Nasida tried to explain, but Li Yue interrupted her.

"Nasita, do you remember what I said when we first met?"

"What you said when we first met?"

Nasida was lost in memories, and then her head started to ache. Li Yue had said so much that night—"I understand you," "I know you," "Don't be afraid, child," "bonds," "courage," "family," and so on. There were just too many random things she said. Even if you asked me to recall them, I wouldn't know which sentence she was referring to.

Seeing Naxida racking her brains to remember, Li Yue figured she had probably forgotten, so she repeated what she had said before.

"The Seven Gods are the strongest level on the continent of Teyvat. No matter how strong the evil organizations here are, they can never reach the level of the Seven Gods. Although I am not at the level of the Seven Gods now, I will reach the level of the Seven Gods sooner or later. When that time comes, you, as my daughter, will be able to carry my name and run freely on the continent of Teyvat!"

So that's what it was!

Narcida looked at Li Yue in surprise, as did Zhongli and Wendy. They hadn't expected Li Yue to have such a spirit. But what he said was really quite good: to run freely across the Teyvat continent while bearing Li Yue's name. What a poetic phrase!

"The reason I made you the Grass God, besides what I just said, is also to let you return to Sumeru. After all, you were born in Sumeru. I can feel that you have a strong feeling for Sumeru, so I chose to make you the so-called Grass God."

"Although I am now relying on the power of the Emperor, I have also reached the position of one of the Seven Gods. I have already fulfilled half of the promise I made to you. The rest is to find that evil organization, destroy it, and then support you to the position of Grass God. After that, you will be no longer a threat. At that time, as the Grass God, you will also have me, the Rock King, behind you. With power and support, you can truly run freely!"

After hearing Li Yue's words, both Zhong Li and Wendy, those two old folks, couldn't help but smile.

Naxida smiled sweetly at Li Yue.

"Thank you, Li Yue... no... my father."

141. Monthly New Member Induction (Bounty 2/11)

Yelan set off overnight, concealing her identity and boarding a merchant ship bound for Ormos Harbor. She would then travel to Sumeru City, a journey that would take some time, as it involved traveling by ship from Liyue Harbor to Ormos Harbor and then heading north along the river to Sumeru City.

While Ye Lan was investigating the evil organization hidden in the darkness of Sumeru, Li Yue could finally relax. So he opened the chat group again after a long time, because the day had come.

[Silly Guy: Hey hey~~ Is anyone there?]

Ten minutes passed, and no one replied.

This left Li Yue speechless. "No, while I do sometimes forget about the chat group, did you all forget about it too? This doesn't fit our usual routine."

[Silly Guy: Hey hey~~ Is anyone there? If no one's there, I'll ask again in ten minutes.]

Ten minutes passed, and still no one spoke.

Please, this is putting me in a difficult position. This isn't a proper strategy.

[Silly Guy: Do you guys know what day it is today? Today is the day new members join the group, which happens once a month! This is making things really difficult for me, the group admin!]

[The guy with the super-sized hairspray: Hmm, this is indeed a very important day.]

Finally, someone spoke up: when it comes to praising Li Yue, it has to be Aizen.

After all, besides Li Yue, Aizen was the only one in this chat group who cared most about the unknown other world.

[Perverted Scumbag: What? A new person is joining the group?]

Both the eccentric and the genuine adventurers, who were eating in the Adventurers' Guild, couldn't help but comment after seeing the news.

[Silly Guy: Yeah, a new person joins the group once a month.]

[The sadistic scumbag: Does that mean I'm going to become a senior?]

This was the most joyful news Kazuma had heard in a long time; heaven knows what he had gone through in the other world.

In order to defeat the Demon King, he brought down a goddess, but this goddess turned out to be a sinkhole, unable to even defeat a frog. Her only purpose was to act as bait, luring the frogs one by one so that he could deliver a fatal blow while the frogs were eating the goddess.

They finally recruited a new member for the team, and a high-ranking one at that, but it turns out he's a mage who can't do anything except explosion magic. Explosion magic is one thing, at least it's an offensive spell, but he can only use it once a day! After one use, he just lies there dead, and they have to run over and carry him to prevent him from being eaten by frogs. What good is that!

But since he'd already accepted the person, he couldn't just kick them out. Right now, he just wanted a normal warrior character to help him fight as soon as possible.

[Silly Guy: That's right, you're going to be a senior now, so you'd better set a good example.]

[The depraved, scumbag boyfriend: Of course!]

[Street Dance of China: Hmph, him?]

[Silly Guy: Madara, you're here too.]

[This is Street Dance: If I don't come out, do you expect me to keep talking to you all by myself?]

Despite her fear that Hashira would discover her plans, Madara still cared about Hashira.

[The plump woman in black stockings: Everyone's talking; if I don't, won't I seem out of place?]

The last group member, Kasumigaoka, also appeared.

[Heavenly Hair Spray Guy: After all, we all come from different worlds. It's a rare treat to gather in this chat group and exchange ideas, isn't it?]

There's no problem communicating with each other, as long as you don't try to make fun of me.

Kasumigaoka, inside the apartment, inwardly grumbled to herself, but lately, Li Yue had indeed not come to her world or sought her amusement. Even when he did come, it was to see Eriri. That was good, as her creative ideas had been going quite well lately, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

[Silly and Amusing Person: Yeah, yeah, meeting is fate, our connection spans several worlds!]

Everyone finally came out, and Li Yue was very happy. This is how a chat group should be. Although I, as the group owner, am not very talkative, you group members should talk more. You can't just stop talking when I stop talking.

[Silly Guy: Two new members will be joining the group soon. I wonder which world they'll be from this time.]

[The guy with the super-powered hairspray: I hope he comes from a more interesting world.]

Aizen's needs were simple: unknown power and systems, which would broaden his thinking.

[Black-stockinged chubby woman: Similarly, I've recently started considering incorporating some superpowers into my book.]

[Silly Guy: What, you're going to write isekai (another world) stories now?]

[The plump woman in black stockings: No, I just wanted to add some elements. After all, I'm in this chat group full of extraordinary humans from another world, so naturally I want to do something befitting my status.]

Good grief, isn't "Love Metronome" a love triangle story? Is there going to be magical elements in it? Will the editor be completely dumbfounded? This is such an unexpected turn of events!

[Silly Guy: Need me to give you some references, like some special world backgrounds?]

When Kasumigaoka joined the group before, in order to gain initial trust, Li Yue uploaded the story of Bleach: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend. However, when Kazuma and Madara Uchiha joined the group, Li Yue did not upload any more.

[Plump woman in black stockings: No problem, just send it to me privately!]

Kasumigaoka didn't stand on ceremony with Li Yue and directly reached out her hand to ask for it. She understood what Li Yue meant; it was the world where the group members lived.

[The guy with the super-powered hairspray: Could you give me a copy too? Even with your explanation, there are still some details I'd like to know.]

[Silly and funny person: OK, OK, we have them all.]

[The sadistic scumbag: How wonderful! A peaceful world, and she's even a beautiful light novel author for girls. What a winner in life!]

Although they hadn't talked much before, Kazuma learned that Kasumigaoka was a beautiful young female writer, and he was filled with envy.

[A sadistic scumbag: Unlike me, although I came to another world, I ended up with two weird teammates. Although I gained magical powers, they are completely different from the kind of hero who defeats the demon king I imagined!]

[A sadistic scumbag: I need a reliable teammate, preferably a seasoned warrior, so I don't always have to rush in alone to chop down frogs with my sword.]

[Silly Guy: Don't worry, you'll soon meet a powerful knight who will become your reliable teammate!]

[The sadistic scumbag: What?! How did you know, senior? Is it some kind of prophetic ability?]

[Silly Guy: More or less, you'll find out soon enough.]

Upon hearing that he would be surrounded by reliable warriors as teammates, he immediately became excited. Was his luck finally about to change for the better?

In his excitement, he didn't notice that a blonde girl dressed in high-grade armor was watching him from a short distance away, slightly out of breath.

[This is street dance: Hmph, weaklings always think about relying on others, no matter where they are!]

Madara appeared at just the right moment and made a sarcastic remark to Kazuma.

[The sadistic scumbag: Indeed, the weak like me can rely on others to survive, but the strong like you can only grieve silently in this sanctuary.]

This is Street Dance: You!

[The depraved scumbag: What do you mean, "what are you talking about"? If you're so powerful, why don't you come out of your sanctuary and beat me up?! Or is it that you can't?]

This is Street Dance: Me!

Kazuma's words caused Madara's blood pressure to rise, and the two started arguing. Li Yue, Aizen, and Kasumigaoka watched happily without saying a word. It had been a long time since they had seen these two argue. Just like before, it was Kazuma unilaterally talking Madara. People from the Uchiha clan really aren't good with words.

Time flew by in the cheerful banter of the chat group, and under the watchful eyes of everyone in the group, the two newcomers joined the chat group on time.

[How arrogant! Join the chat group]

Please join the chat group.

142. Li Yue: I've staked my left hand on the new era!

On the boundless sea, a pirate ship was sailing freely. Apart from those who were on high ground keeping watch, the pirates on board were all drinking and eating happily, holding their daily banquet.
