Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

As consciousness returned, the icy metallic chill first penetrated the skin.

Wang Qi slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a narrow and enclosed small hibernation chamber. The walls were made of thick, cold alloy steel plates, which were cold and hard with a matte industrial finish.

The corners of the cabin were filled with a dense array of precision instruments and pipelines, with the wires tangled and the indicator lights flickering.

The cold white emergency lights hanging overhead were dim and weak, creating a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, and the air was filled with the distinctive mechanical rust smell of a spaceship.

A series of soft sounds rose and fell as the remaining new recruits awoke from their hibernation pods. Moments later...

The originally cramped cabin was now crammed with twenty people, their breaths mingling, and the atmosphere instantly became crowded and tense.

Zhang Jie regained consciousness almost immediately.

Zhang Jie's strength far surpassed that of the others, and he regained full consciousness almost immediately. The moment his feet landed firmly, his pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze swept across the entire arena like that of a hawk, quickly counting the number of people present.

He quickly counted the number of new employees, and the moment he saw the number, his face turned ashen.

His face suddenly turned ashen, and his tone became extremely grave: "Damn it, a full twenty people."

He looked up at Zheng Zha and the others, his tone growing increasingly heavy: "The scale of this mission far exceeds that of our previous Resident Evil instance. We're in big trouble."

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Li Xiaoyi's expressions also darkened simultaneously. Zhang Jie had already warned everyone.

The danger level of the Reincarnation quest has always been directly linked to the number of people entering the instance. The more people there are, the stronger the monsters, the more difficult the quest, and the higher the probability of death will be.

Wang Qi was about to discuss the arrangements for the new recruits with Zheng Zha when the chat group suddenly started vibrating wildly, and a series of notification sounds rang in Wang Qi's mind.

Wang Qi quickly entered the chat group to see what had happened.

Wang Qi immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts, concentrated his mind, and sank into his sea of ​​consciousness, opening the interface of the multiverse chat group bound to him.

Lines of gilded system announcements floated prominently at the top of the group chat:

[Active group members have been detected engaging in prolonged trading and exchanging cultivation techniques; activity level meets the standard! The Multiverse Chat Group has been successfully upgraded!]

[Chat group level upgraded, unlocking new privileges, inviting new members!]

[Group notification: Chen Nan has joined the chat group!]

[Group notification: Nie Feng has joined the chat group!]

As soon as Wang Qi entered the chat group, a barrage of messages came in. After glancing at them, he understood what had happened: the chat group had been upgraded.

When I first joined the chat group, the announcement mentioned this, saying that chatting and trading among group members would increase group activity. Once the group activity reached a certain level, the chat group would be upgraded, adding new features and new members.

At first, the group was somewhat hopeful, but as time passed and the chat group showed no signs of upgrading, they stopped discussing it. Unexpectedly, the chat group suddenly upgraded at this time.

[Zhang Chulan: The chat group has finally been upgraded! I've been waiting forever!]

[Lu Mingfei: Indeed, I had almost forgotten about it.]

[Xiaoyu: "Hooray! We have a new member! Welcome, welcome!"]

Xiao Yan: "Welcome, newcomer."

[Luo Ji: "Welcome to the newcomer."]

[Emiya Shirou: "Welcome, newcomer."]

[Han Li: Welcome, newcomer.]

[Wang Qi: Welcome the newcomer]

Each of the veteran members made a brief appearance to remind everyone of their place in the community.

After the group of veteran members finished their welcome message, they fell silent.

After sending the message casually, Wang Qi quietly watched the screen to see what would happen next.

[Xiao Yan: @Lu Mingfei, quick, investigate these two newcomers' backgrounds. Which world are they from? How strong are they? Are they reliable?]

[Lu Mingfei: Received, please wait a moment, I will organize the information and upload it immediately.]

Looking at the two newly added names, Wang Qi felt a little wistful.

After such a long time, a new member has finally joined the chat group.

Fortunately, they were all familiar to him.

After all, there are thousands of novels on Yuewen, and it's impossible for him to claim that he has seen through them all.

Fortunately, Nie Feng and Chen Nan were people he knew very well. The myriad realms were endless, and to encounter familiar people was a stroke of good fortune.

At the same time, Nie Feng, who had just joined the group, had already sent his first message.

[Nie Feng: A chat group? Connecting countless large and small worlds, spanning all realms? Such an incredible thing exists in this world?]

[Nie Feng: I am Nie Feng from the World Society, greetings to all of you!]

……

Before long, Lu Mingfei quickly finished organizing and uploaded the entire series of "Feng Yun" comics and film materials, as well as the complete novel and anime series of "Shen Mu" with one click, making it easy for everyone to quickly understand the worldview and combat system of the two newcomers.

After a moment of silence in the group, Han Li broke the silence with a calm voice.

[Han Li: One of the two newcomers has already introduced himself, but why is the other, Fellow Daoist Chen Nan, remaining silent?]

[Emiya Shirou: Yes, Tatsumi, would you mind briefly introducing yourself?]

[Zhang Chulan: No way, no way, did I just join the group and already get trapped in danger?]

[Lu Mingfei: This scene seems strangely familiar... Every time two newcomers arrive at once, one of them always stays silent the whole time.]

[Xiao Yan: Indeed, a classic scene.]

[Xiao Yan: @Wang Qi, want to guess what's going on with this Chen Nan? He's probably either seriously injured and unconscious, or trapped in a desperate situation.]

Wang Qi: ...

Wang Qi silently touched the tip of his nose, remaining completely submerged and selectively ignoring the @ mentions, quietly watching the chatter in the group without responding.

……

Consciousness returned to the cold, impersonal spaceship cabin in reality.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Zhan Lan looked around at the unfamiliar newcomers and spoke in a deep voice:

"Main mission: Kill the alien. Each surviving member will be rewarded with 1500 reward points and one D-level side quest."

"Does anyone remember the complete plot of Alien 1, as well as the number and forms of the aliens in it?"

No sooner had Zhan Lan finished speaking than a calm and steady male voice suddenly interrupted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with glasses, who had been curled up in a corner, slowly sit up. He had an ordinary appearance, a thin build, and wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses.

His expression was indifferent and calm, and he exuded a rationality far beyond that of ordinary people. Every move he made was imbued with a precise sense of logic.

This is Chu Xuan.

Wang Qi glanced at the other person indifferently, silently evaluating him in his heart. His appearance was unremarkable, far removed from the image of the peerless strategist described in countless fanfictions.

But he showed no fear whatsoever.

In the cycle of reincarnation, strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Strategy and calculation are only useful when the difference in combat power between the two sides is not significant. With control of the multiverse chat group and possession of a diverse cultivation system, he is destined to rapidly accumulate overwhelming absolute power.

Even though Chu Xuan is the most intelligent man in the world, as long as the other party is rational and clear-headed enough, they will never take the initiative to become his enemy.

Wang Qi has no intention of deliberately targeting or trying to win them over.

In the early stages of the original work, Chu Xuan possessed exceptionally high intelligence but lacked social skills and strategic wisdom. His extreme rationality constantly tore apart the team atmosphere, causing internal friction and setbacks.

The Zhongzhou team needs stability and unity right now, and Chu Xuan is more of a liability than an asset at this stage.
