Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

The term "group live stream" literally means "live stream," and the pre-joining information is also meant to familiarize new members with the chat group.

What Flanders really cared about were the group check-in and group shop functions; just hearing those two words sent a whole host of thoughts through his mind.

"First, there's the group check-in; you just need to click?"

[Day 1 of check-in, earned 10 group points]

"Ah, points, just as expected, it's a sign-in reward."

Flander shook his head and chuckled, then opened the group store according to the information sent from the chat group.

"Personal shop, public shop, and random shop?"

First, he opened the personal shop, and a series of familiar words popped up, making Flander understand.

[Ten-year adaptive spirit ring, 1 point]

[A century-old adaptive spirit ring, 10 points]

[Millennial Adaptive Soul Ring, 100 points]

[Ten-thousand-year adaptive soul ring, 1000 points]

[100,000-year adaptive soul ring, 10000 points]

[Million-year adaptive spirit ring, 100000 points]

[Ten-year adaptive soul bone, 10 points]

【…】

"Hmm, adaptive spirit rings and spirit bones? They're probably what's called divinely bestowed spirit rings and spirit bones, with the points cost increasing at each level, and spirit bones costing ten times more than spirit rings."

Flander glanced at it a few times and roughly understood why it was called a personal marketplace—it sold goods that suited the circumstances of its own world.

The so-called adaptive soul ring refers to the attribute of the soul ring. It doesn't mean that you can use a 100,000-year soul ring as your first soul ring just because you bought it. You still need to improve your own soul power cultivation.

"It's a bit disappointing that it wasn't a sacrifice of a soul ring."

Scrolling down a few more times, Flander also saw soul tools and immortal herbs, but the prices were even more exorbitant. The cheapest soul tool cost around a hundred points, while immortal herbs started at several thousand points.

Currently, there are only four types of goods available, but Flander soon noticed an inconspicuous line of small print on the shop panel – Level 1 Shop.

"So, the mall can be upgraded in the future?"

Flander studied it for a while and it seemed that as points were spent, upgrading would occur after a certain amount of use.

"It does resemble a pay-to-win game, but that makes sense."

Skipping over the personal shop, Flander has only checked in for one day and has ten points, which isn't enough to buy anything. He'll wait until the future.

Opening the public store, surprisingly, it was completely empty.

Flander searched for a few moments and quickly found the words "for sale". He clicked to use it, and another panel immediately popped up.

Please set the price: ...

"This is for group members."

Flander was slightly disappointed; it seemed the chat group didn't return points after recycling the goods, so reselling was out of the question.

Otherwise, you could just find a few slaughterhouses, kill tens of thousands of ten-year soul beasts, and easily recycle their ten-year soul rings. A million-year soul ring would be just around the corner.

However, it's clear that chat groups don't allow people to exploit loopholes.

The public marketplace will likely remain empty forever if no group members add any items.

Finally, there was the random shop. Flanders went in, and four more lines of large text popped up.

[Random herb, 5000 points]

[Random Devil Fruit, 5000 points]

[Random Pokémon Egg, 500 Points]

[Random Magic Spell, 500 points]

Gone.

"What's this? A blind box?"

Flander rubbed his eyes, and roughly understood what this random shop was. It sold special products and abilities from the worlds of the group members, and everything was random, so what you got depended entirely on luck.

It also needs to be upgraded, and currently only four sources of goods are available.

"I need to plan these points carefully. In the future, I probably won't rely solely on daily check-ins; they'll likely come from task rewards?"

Flander, recalling his memories of his past life, shook his head with a smile; it was a familiar routine.

Back in the chat panel, several old group members had also finished looking at the store panel, checked in, and were chatting.

Zephyr: My personal shop sells Devil Fruits, various martial arts techniques, famous swords, weapons made from Zoan-type Devil Fruits, and technology.

However, they're all so expensive; even the cheapest good-quality knife costs me 50 points.

[Dumbledore: My collection is also full of alchemical artifacts, magical creature materials, magical manuscripts, and magical items, none of which are cheap. A single phoenix feather costs 100 points. I never imagined Foxy's clothes would be so expensive!]

[Flander: Soul rings, soul bones, immortal herbs, soul tools, but I have some cheaper ones here, ten-year soul rings for one point, but unfortunately I don't need them.]

[Ooki Yukinari: Oh, I have some cheap and useful things here, all kinds of tree fruits, like the Orange Fruit which can restore a small amount of stamina. You can buy ten for one point, which is quite a good deal.]

[Flander: Is this the world of high magic? The extraordinary have become part of everyday life~]

The value of the Pokémon world is still rising. I remember there's a herb in traditional Chinese medicine that can restore a dying Pokémon's HP to full, but the only price is that it's very bitter. In the anime world, it's used to make curry.

The thought that the Pokémon universe would become more peaceful and harmonious as it moved into the future filled the three of them with emotion.

[Zeff: What an enviable world.]

[Dumbledore: I must admit, I'm a little jealous of you, Xuecheng.]

[Oki Yukinari: Hahaha, every world is different.]

Besides, I've also experienced many major disasters here, so don't just look at the positive aspects.

[Flanders: That's true, a legend powerful enough to destroy the world, it's truly chilling.]

Dumbledore and Zephyr responded twice; they had only been expressing their feelings earlier.

Bang: I never imagined that Garou would turn out like that in the future—a human monster, absolute evil, a god…

@Mr. Flander, I really have to thank you for this. My future self was too indecisive, which led Hungry Wolf to that point. I think I know what to do now, and I will definitely raise him to be a capable person.

[Flander: That kid Garou is indeed a bit conflicted. He says he wants to become a monster, but actually he still wants to be a hero. Even if he can't become the perfect hero in his heart, he settles for second best.]

[Bangu: I know, it also stems from the failure of his childhood education.]

[Ooki Yukinari: Excuse me for interrupting, what are you guys talking about?]

[Flanders: Oh, by the way, you guys don't know this story yet, @Bang, sir, could you please publish the part of that story?]

[Bang: No problem, after all, you've already shared your story.]

[Bang has changed the access permissions for the One-Punch Man series stories, making them viewable by everyone.]

Instantly, Flanders and his companions were drawn into the story, either out of curiosity about the world or a desire to know the specifics of it.

The scenery before them changed, alarms blared through the sky, and a purple humanoid creature slowly emerged from the ruins of the city. Heroes from all walks of life lay on the ground, unable to get up.

At this dangerous moment, the little girl's cries suddenly rang out.

The vaccine seller turned his head, stretched out his large hand, and was about to crush the little girl to death.

At the crucial moment, a red cloak flashed into view, moving at a speed that was almost imperceptible.

Heroes on the mission!
