Lingsha happened to have a supply of Universal Medicine she had previously made, so she immediately sent some to Lü Heng.
It's worth noting that Ikezawa's condition meant he could only use each medication once. With each recurrence of his illness being more severe than the last, hoarding these Universal Medicines was pointless; giving them away seemed more sensible.
In the Main World, Zhong Wanhong was at a loss for how to help the poisoned civilians. The toxin was devastatingly potent—their skin had completely changed color. With the ambulance still some time away, he doubted even advanced medical care could counteract this unknown venom.
Having dealt with countless Dimensional Rifts, Zhong Wanhong had witnessed countless civilian deaths. Yet, that didn't mean he had grown numb to human suffering.
Just then, Lü Heng strode forward and swiftly administered something to each poisoned person. Like chameleons changing color, their purplish, venom-tainted skin gradually reverted to its original hue, and their condition visibly improved before his eyes.
Zhong Wanhong stared at the Universal Medicine in Lü Heng's hand, astonished. "Where did you get this stuff?"
In a strange twist of fate, Ikezawa's failed attempt to act cool had been unintentionally outdone by Lü Heng.
Leaving aside how Lü Heng would explain things to Zhong Wanhong, let's return to the chat group. After Lingsha posted her selfie and Soup Dumpling made that remarkably scummy declaration of "one-pushing" her, Shu Cat immediately retorted, "Stop simping for just one person! Have you forgotten what this group was originally for? What about Miss Robin? Don't you love her anymore?"
Today I Want to Eat Soup Dumplings replied, "What's wrong with that? I have multiple hearts! Can't I stan both Miss Robin and Lingsha at the same time?!"
Shu Cat scoffed, "That's ridiculous! You're just a two-timing player who falls for every girl you see!"
At first glance, this exchange seemed harmless enough. But Ikezawa, who was also monitoring the chat group, froze in shock. He frantically typed, "What the hell? Who? Robin???"
As a Transmigrator, he naturally knew both Lingsha and Robin.
Daoist Wuwei asked, "Is that the superstar with the chicken wings behind her ears?!"
Peace Dove: "?"
Shu Cat: "?"
Invincible Bro: "?"
Today I Want to Eat Soup Dumplings: "?"
The group chat fell silent for a moment after Ikezawa's remark. Then, except for Lü Heng, who was busy, a barrage of question marks flooded the screen.
Shu Cat: "Whoa, chicken wings? If Robin's die-hard fans heard you say that, they'd probably tear you apart alive! By the way, what's your address? Just curious, no ulterior motive. I'm not one of those obsessed fans, so don't worry—I won't do anything to you."
Today I Want to Eat Soup Dumplings: "Now that you mention it, I'm curious too. What's your address? We've known each other for so long, and I'd love to send you a small gift. Don't get the wrong idea!"
Invincible Bro: "Since everyone else is being so friendly, I can't be the odd one out, right? I happen to have a local specialty you've probably never seen. What's your address? I'll mail it over so you can take a look."
Even through the text alone, Ikezawa could feel a thick aura of murderous intent. Great, so everyone here is a die-hard Robin fan, huh?Thank goodness Lü Heng is too busy to check the group chat right now—he'd be even more worked up.
Daoist Wuwei: "I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'll kneel and kowtow to you! Thump, thump, thump!"
Another lightning-fast apology, but this time, Ikezawa realized it wasn't just a coincidence of names. This Robin was likely the Halovian Songstress from the Star Rail World.
Good grief, is the Group Member's world actually the Star Rail World? No, that couldn't be right. From their past conversations in the group chat, Ikezawa knew a little about their world and immediately thought of the "Dimensional Rift Outsider" concept. After all, Lü Heng had initially invited him in an official capacity, allowing him to live in that world as an Outsider.
It was no exaggeration to say that learning of Robin's existence had drastically increased Ikezawa's will to survive.
Previously, his attitude had been, "If I can survive, I'll try my best. If not, it can't be helped." Now, it had transformed into, "I must survive! Cure this 'Death,' travel to the Group Member's world, and meet Robin!"
After all, it was Robin!
At that moment, the other Group Members also realized why Ikezawa, a newcomer, knew about Robin.
Shu Cat: "Wait, you and Miss Robin were from the same world before you transmigrated?!"
Daoist Wuwei: "No, no, no. It's actually because..."
He then repeated the explanation he had previously given to Lingsha—that information from other worlds might manifest in different forms, like games or anime, in another world—to the rest of the group.
Daoist Wuwei: "So, you see, Robin is absolutely stunningly beautiful, with an incredibly kind and gentle personality."
Immediately, Ikezawa realized that if Robin was here, might other familiar characters also exist in this world?
Daoist Wuwei: "By the way, are there any other Outsiders like us in your world?"
Shu Cat: "Um, I wouldn't know."
Peace Dove: "..."
The question was like asking someone from another world if there were any celebrities in their world. There were simply too many to name, making it impossible to give a concise answer.
Moreover, the identities of Outsiders were typically top-secret. How could Shu Cat, an ordinary civilian, possibly have access to such classified information?
Shu Cat pondered for a moment, offering several examples of internet celebrities and singers, but none of them quite fit the bill.
Notably, Shu Cat had actually thought of Elysia, but refrained from mentioning her. After all, if someone asked for a singer, bringing up the name of a foreign leader would be wildly off-topic, wouldn't it?
While the Chat Group buzzed with activity, Lingsha and her companions continued their journey. With Lingsha's addition to the group, food and water became plentiful. Once Lü Heng finished his tasks and learned of their situation, he immediately sent over a large supply of provisions.
Delicious modern food and large barrels of mineral water arrived, especially for Li. The young Doggirl had never tasted anything so delicious in her life. As she ate, her tail wagged so furiously that it nearly left a blurry afterimage.
"What's this? It's so good!"
"This is also so good, mmm~"
Li stuffed her mouth full, her expression shifting from Doggirl to hamster-like, radiating pure bliss.
