Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

"What?"

"We've hit the jackpot!"

"And they were even hit and time-traveled at the same time?"

"It was smashed into four pieces in one go, that's really terrible."

"But what does this have to do with my daily campus life where I'm surrounded by women?"

In the shared space, four Lin Beis sat on chairs.

Lin Bei, dressed as a student, looked smug.

Meanwhile, Lin Bei, dressed as a farmer next to him, was scratching his hair, which was so oily it could fill a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, while holding a pot of sunflowers that were shaking their heads, looking melancholy and dejected.

"Four portions?"

"Look at all these empty chairs here. Who knows how many pieces we might have been smashed to pieces!"

"And I'm the one who's going to suffer!"

"If I don't get any more tacos, I'll go to Dave's and trade them for some plant seeds. In just a few nights, those damn zombies will have eaten all my plants and then come and eat my brains."

"And most importantly, what if the zombie opens my skull and finds it's full of water? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing for me?"

The other two Lin Beis sat speechlessly to the side.

He suspected that his incredible luck had caused him to develop a split personality.

Otherwise, how could the brain circuits of these two Lin Beis be so unique?

At this moment, Lin Bei, dressed as a pirate, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Did you receive any cheat codes when you entered the shared space?"

Upon hearing this, the other three Lin Beis immediately turned their puzzled gazes toward him and replied in unison.

"Yes!" ×3

"Don't you have any?"

Pirate Lin Bei shook his head slightly and then said.

"No, that's not it."

"It's just that my system's cheat codes seem a little off."

The other three looked surprised.

"You too?" ×3

Then the four of them looked at each other.

"You too?" ×4

At this moment, all four Lin Beis realized the problem.

As time travelers, it's normal for them to have cheat codes or special abilities.

But it's not normal for everyone's "golden finger" (a metaphor for a lucky charm or special ability) to have problems.

After the four looked at each other for a while, it was pirate Lin Bei who spoke first.

"My world is One Piece, and I'm a nobody pirate with a bounty that's probably tens of thousands down the list. Right now, I'm even struggling to find food and water."

"The cheat code is the Plant Master System."

"After defeating an enemy, you can obtain seeds and points."

"Seeds can be planted to grow plants with special powers."

"And points can be exchanged for items used to enhance plants."

"Including but not limited to activating, rapid growth, fusion, evolution, and sharing of life force..."

"But you all know what the world of One Piece is like."

"Everywhere you look, there are hordes of pirates and powerful sea kings."

"Moreover, due to the rising sea levels every year, there is very little usable land, and most of it is under the control of the world government."

"What use is a plant master to a nobody like me who doesn't even have a fleet? To grow seaweed on the ocean floor?"

After the pirate Lin Bei finished explaining his system and situation, Lin Bei, who was standing to the side with a dejected and melancholy expression while holding a sunflower, suddenly looked strange.

Then came the self-introductions.

"My world is Plants vs. Zombies."

"Dave, who only says 'Wabibab,' is my neighbor. He's being harassed by zombies every day, and he's about to give up."

"My cheat system is the Endless Fruit System."

"Special abilities can be gained by eating plant fruits or seeds."

"It's like eating a Devil Fruit."

"But not limited to one, and without any side effects."

"We've all played Plants vs. Zombies."

"Knowing that as Dave's neighbor, I have to deal with a lot of zombies every day."

"And unlike in the game, in the real-world Plants vs. Zombies world, plants that can attack zombies are extremely rare."

"It can only be grown using special seeds."

"And the only way I can get these seeds now is from Dave."

"So every single plant is precious, you could even say they are my dearest friends and family, how could I possibly eat them?"

As he spoke, he hugged the sunflower pot in his arms tightly, looking like he was holding a precious treasure.

After Lin Bei from Plants vs. Zombies finished explaining his cheat code and situation,

Pirate Lin Bei also looked at Plants vs. Zombies Lin Bei with a strange expression.

At this moment, both student ninja Lin Bei and Demon Slayer Lin Bei also had strange looks in their eyes and noticed something amiss.

To verify their ideas, student Lin Bei, the third student, began to introduce his "golden finger" and his world situation.

"I don't know exactly what my world is yet, I only know that it's a slice-of-life world, and it doesn't seem to have any supernatural powers."

"I am a high school student now. My parents are both dead, but I have a younger sister and a house."

"There's also a childhood sweetheart and a sudden arrival."

"You could say he's surrounded by women, living a very comfortable life."

"The cheat system is the strongest Demon Slayer system."

"Killing demons grants skill proficiency, which can then be used to upgrade and fuse skills."

"According to the system's introduction, as long as you are proficient enough, you can even enhance the simplest skills to the god-like level."

"It's an extremely powerful cheat code."

"But my world seems to be just an ordinary world, at most with some psychopathic killers and urban legends."

"Don't even mention ghosts, you can't even see a shadow of one."

"So no matter how powerful the cheat system is, I can only look on with envy, I can't use it."

After finishing speaking, student Lin Bei turned to look at Demon Slayer Lin Bei, wanting to hear what kind of cheat ability he had.

Based on the previous situations of Lin Bei in One Piece and Plants vs. Zombies, he speculated that Lin Bei's cheat ability in Demon Slayer also had problems.

Moreover, as the saying goes, it is not scarcity that is a concern, but inequality.

Although everyone's cheat codes have problems.

But his cheat ability was completely unusable.

So he wanted to hear about Lin Bei's last golden touch.

Under the expectant gaze of student Lin Bei, Lin Bei, the Demon Slayer, began to recount his world and his cheat-like abilities.

"My world is Demon Slayer."

"The Golden Finger is the Yang Qi Furnace System."

"Every breath of air you take, every ray of sunshine you receive, every bite of food you eat, and every enemy you kill can be refined into the purest form of Yang energy using the furnace of Yang energy."

"And things like ghosts and zombies can have even more yang energy after being refined."

"And yang energy can enhance and strengthen my various abilities without limit."

"His breath was as swift as the wind, his punch as powerful as a mountain."

"It can either burn mountains and boil seas, or it can prolong life and increase health."

"It could even eventually transform into a human-shaped sun."

"It's simpler and more direct than breathing techniques."

"It can be described as powerful and easy to use."

"The only problem is whether there are enough demons in the Demon Slayer world."

"Don't let them all disappear before I've even refined a few."

After finishing speaking, Lin Bei revealed a smug expression that he couldn't hide.

Clearly, his cheat ability, while having its own problems, was still much better than other Lin Bei's, which made him very happy.

Lin Bei, who had just been looking expectant, now had an expression that looked like he was about to grind his back teeth to powder.

After all, as the saying goes, it's better to be afraid of your brother suffering, but it's even more frightening to see your brother driving a Land Rover.

Lin Bei's cheat ability in Demon Slayer is far more useful than his.

The other two Lin Beis had similar expressions, one of envy and jealousy.

The three Lin Beis simultaneously gave the middle finger to Lin Bei from Demon Slayer.

However, we are all ultimately Lin Bei; one person's problem is everyone's problem.

Moreover, all of Lin Bei's system cheat codes have compatibility issues.

Therefore, considering all the information Lin Bei had provided, the Lin Beis unanimously agreed.

"We time-traveled at the same time, but our systems are out of sync!"
