How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

"Let's eliminate a few right from the start, Master," Ai Ge suggested with a grin.

"There are horror games like this too, right? At the beginning, a group of people go on a happy outing or something, then the car crashes and only the protagonist is left struggling to survive, at most rescuing the female protagonist to escape together."

If someone else is rescued along the way, then there will definitely be a plot point later where that other person needs to sacrifice themselves to help the protagonist move forward.

It's the same old routine, and Ruo Xue knows it very well.

“According to what you’re saying, why not just turn it into a horror movie? That would better stimulate people’s survival instincts, motivate them, and give them the drive to become stronger!” Scáthach joined the conversation, suggesting.

Because the master and apprentice pair were largely indifferent to the Holy Grail War, Scáthach had plenty of free time and watched a lot of things during her days and nights. Among them, horror movies were the most addictive, as the viewing experience was excellent when paired with some snacks and drinks.

"Master's suggestion is good, but as for horror movies, we should probably eliminate a few first."

"Master, I know, I know! We'll eliminate those who don't believe in the superstition first!"

There is one thing to say, indeed.

A staple of horror movies is the presence of one or two characters in the main cast who defy superstition and are the primary reason the group faces life-or-death crises. Often, these characters are the ones who first establish their authority by killing others.

"Then let's wait until tonight..."

[Ding!] is the chat group's mention notification sound.

Ruoxue pushed up her glasses, momentarily wondering who would tag her at this time.

Although the former group admin, Gou Qingshan, reappeared, she fell silent after chatting for a while due to the sudden disappearance of a newbie who was just there to make up the numbers. At this point, who would still tag her?

Is this some newbie who just came back from the dead to make up the numbers?

Aoyama the Great Demon King: @Paid Newbie

Green Mountain Demon King: I remember now, you're preparing to participate in the Fifth World War? Are you kidding me?!

Paid newbie: ...Is it the Fifth Holy War?

Ruo Xue was taken aback. It seemed that she had indeed tricked Gou Qingshan into saying that she would participate in the Fifth World War.

I just blurted out the news about World War IV because I didn't think of it properly...

"It's completely exposed..."

"Master, what have we revealed?" Aigo couldn't see the chat group, but Ruoxue had told them after summoning her master, so she knew what was going on in the chat group.

However, what we can't see is still what we can't see, and we have no idea what happened to Ruoxue in the chat group.

"It's nothing. Aige, go and turn on Noelle. Everything's already prepared, so we don't need to put her into hibernation again this time."

"Understood!" Ai Ge nodded and disappeared in a flash.

I don't know when it started, but Ai Ge really likes to appear or disappear suddenly in this way.

Ruoxue shook her head, deciding to kill time by chatting with the former dog group leader while waiting for night to fall.

Green Mountain Demon King: You're playing me for fools by saying ten years have passed, what do you mean?!

It's understandable that he was furious.

After all, it's normal to need to vent your emotions after losing group owner privileges.

Chapter 110 Qingshan: I'm so angry!!

Newbie (paying for free): No, I just accidentally forgot~

Paid newbie: Hehe~☆

Green Mountain Demon King: Ha! A grown man trying to act cute? Don't disgust me!

Qingshan is very irritable right now!

His wet crotch, the loss of his group admin privileges, and the anxiety of the newbie who was just there to fill a spot possibly becoming the group admin and then exposing his true identity were all tormenting him.

He was further enraged to discover that one of his underlings, a newbie who had been paying for services, had likely been playing him for a fool all along without telling him a single truth.

This underling has ulterior motives; he even wanted to promote this newbie who's paying for his services!

Green Mountain Demon King: Why are you trying to fool me, you paid newbie?

Green Mountain Demon King: Even if I am no longer the group owner, I don't need that little bit of group owner privilege to deal with you!

It's all fake!

But the persona is that of a big shot in the chat group, so no matter how fake it is, you have to keep pretending!

Paid Newbie: Because you're already in arrears, Lord Aoyama!

Paid newbie: Look at my ID~

Paid newbie: I'm not like those who are just there to fill a spot; if it weren't for the payment, who would willingly fawn over a complete stranger?

Paid Newbie: Lord Aoyama, you used to enjoy it quite a bit, didn't you? Having me, your devoted follower, who always followed your lead, and getting compliments no matter what you did.

Paid newbie: But these things cost money, and you've been in arrears for weeks!

Grocery store owner: ...

What a flimsy excuse. Aizen thought to himself as he sipped a cup of hot tea.

Green Mountain Demon King: What do you mean?

Green Mountain Demon King: Did I ask you to flatter me?

Aoyama was furious, completely forgetting that he had actually enjoyed being flattered and took it for granted that his two underlings were fawning over him.

All I remember is that it was because this newbie who paid for the service was ungrateful. He had always thought that he would get a share of the benefits from the newbie in the future, but the other party didn't say a single honest word to his 'self-righteousness'!

My eyes were completely blinded by the imagined scenario.

Green Mountain Demon King: Didn't you all come up to me to fawn over me, wanting to get some benefit from me? Why do I need your flattery to do what I want?

Aoyama the Great Demon King: And that newbie who was just there to make up the numbers.

Green Mountain Demon King: That newbie who was just there to make up the numbers probably came here with the intention of seizing my group owner privileges from the start, and now that it's about to happen, he's even ignoring me and becoming indifferent.

Green Mountain Demon King: You are nothing but two short-sighted and selfish brats!

Ruoxue looked at it and couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's really easy to guess what Gou Qingshan's mentality is right now. Anyone who has ever been exposed for bragging too much and then stubbornly refusing to admit it knows the feeling of regretting it as soon as the harsh words are spoken.

This is the current situation of Dog Qingshan.

She probably regretted saying those words the moment they left her mouth and wanted to explode. But the harsh words had already been uttered, and she was torn between not wanting to take them back and admit defeat, yet also wanting to get rid of her own inner conflict. Just thinking about it made Ruoxue feel incredibly happy.

"Hehehe! Uh hee hee hee... Slurp~" Ruo Xue made strange noises as she curled up in a ball on the recliner.

If the chair weren't too small, I'd probably be rolling around like a caterpillar, just like everyone else who watches funny videos in bed.

This prompted Scáthach, who was not far away, to sigh and shake her head. Even though she was quite used to her Master's erratic behavior, she still felt that her Master was quite abnormal. However, abnormality was commonplace, and she was used to it. If one day her Master stopped being erratic and abnormal, that would be a world wonder.

Paid newbie: So, is this what you wanted to say, Aoyama-sama?

Green Mountain Demon King: Yes! That's exactly what I wanted to say!

Paid Newbie: So, Mr. Aoyama, what contributions have you made to the group members? Regarding your own contributions: Onmyoji originated from Yukari no Makoto, the Shinigami-related stuff is from the older man (referring to the character Aoyama), and I've recently started uploading various medicines and updating my research on martial arts techniques. I've also been able to reliably manufacture quite a few high-tech electronic products.

Paid Newbie: As someone who can glimpse the river of fate, have you ever thought about uploading your cultivation system?

Newbie paying for this: No! Because you don't care at all; all you care about is yourself!

Green Mountain Demon King: You!

Green Mountain Demon King: Very well! I only didn't plan to upload it because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to understand the content of the cultivation technique. I didn't expect you to be such a utilitarian person!

Green Mountain Demon King: You will never learn a single move from me again!

I regret it! I regret it so much now!

Just as Ruoxue had predicted, Qingshan regretted almost every word he sent, filled with self-reproach and shame to the point of wanting to kill himself.

But words spoken are like water spilled; withdrawing and admitting defeat doesn't mean nothing happened, and the persona you've built will collapse.

He simply couldn't swallow this insult!

Green Mountain Demon King: You wait! Once the chat group unlocks the time travel function, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!

Green Mountain Demon King: If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault! With such morally twisted behavior, I, on behalf of your father, will teach him a lesson!

Noelle: ...How did such a volatile person suddenly appear?

Noelle, who had been awakened from hibernation by the love song, has been revived.

Noelle: Never seen you before, are you a newbie?

Noelle: Wait a minute, I was definitely online the whole time, how come I didn't see the notification for the new player?

Green Mountain Demon King: Who are you?!

Noelle: Newbie, don't be so irritable. I'm a senior who joined the group a little earlier than you~

Green Mountain Demon King: Ha!

Noelle: There are people like Yakumo Yukari, Uchiha Madara, and doctors in the group. Newcomers might also be anime characters!

Noelle: Hey newbie, tell me about your information! Maybe I've seen your anime or read your manga!

The Great Demon King Qingshan:...

Noel's words were like a bucket of cold water, splashed all over him, leaving him chilled to the bone. He snapped out of his rage.

He had never thought about that.

From the moment he learned that he possessed a cheat code for chat groups, he never imagined that his cheat code would bring in people who had also read comics and were equally capable of pretending to be powerful figures to fool the native anime fans.

Aren't these the protagonist's exclusive rights?!

"That guy!!" Aoyama's eyes blazed with fury as he stared at Noel, who was making a huge promise and talking nonstop in the group chat! He wanted nothing more than to use his group admin privileges to kick her out of the group immediately!

Unfortunately, he will never be able to reach that possibility again.

Definitely! It must have been during the time he lost his memory that this newcomer named Noelle revealed this inside story, causing these native anime fans to suspect him. As a result, both paying newbies and those just there to fill in are now extremely cold towards him, not taking him, their older brother, seriously, and even directly confronting him like they are now!

"Damn it! You can't even pretend to be a big shot yourself, so why are you ruining my persona?!"

So angry!!

But Aoyama can't do anything to Noelle.

Without group admin privileges, he can't even mute people, let alone kick them out. No matter what people say in the group, he can only watch helplessly. And because there's no private chat function, he can't even start swearing in the group. Doing so would only make other group members think he's guilty, completely ruining his public image.

"I must! I must find a way to become a candidate for group leader and then take back the position!" That way, no matter if his strong persona collapses, the group will still be under his control!

He will get back what he has lost sooner or later!

Chapter 111 Noelle's Abuse

Noelle: A newcomer?

Noelle: Is the newcomer still around? Did the newcomer run away?

Noelle: Is it because you can't accept that you're a character in a comic book or something? I think there was a comic book with a plot like that, where a character goes crazy after finding out they're just a character in a comic book...

Paid newbie: How can you call that Deadpool going crazy?

Noelle: There are still people in the group? I thought I was the only one left.

Noelle: It was quite lively just now, but the topics changed a bit too quickly, and I couldn't keep up with each one.

This round-cornered girl Unit-01 is quite talkative; she must have a very strong tongue.

Well, Ruoxue knew that the reason he was so talkative in the group chat was because his body was broken and he couldn't move, but that was still the first thought that popped into her head.

However, although the newcomer Noelle had been unable to move for a long time due to her body being disintegrated, and her scattered limbs even had a wireless haptic feedback system, making it pitiful that she couldn't scratch her itch, Ruo Xue had no intention of continuing to keep Noelle in hibernation or turning off her haptic feedback system.

Instead, he sipped his hot tea while pulling up Noelle's current physical data and warehouse monitoring, watching Noelle's performance in the group chat.

“Aige, you don’t need to come back so quickly, I have other instructions~” After thinking for a moment, Ruoxue took out her phone and sent a voice message to Aige.

"Aige is ready to go at any time!" I received a very energetic reply.

Noelle: My back is a little itchy, and my body feels like it's falling apart and I can't move. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Paid Newbie: Cold Dish

Paid newbie: The chat group has no extra skills or anything, you can only rely on yourself.
