"Tsk, women..."
After finishing up in the laboratory, Wu Tong—now deemed useless—was promptly kicked out by the two geniuses who had grown impatient waiting for him.
Standing outside the lab, chilled by the cold wind, Wu Tong gained a deeper understanding of the fickleness of women.
...
Returning to his residence, Wu Tong logged into the long-unvisited chat group.
Dimensional Chat Group
Dragon King Sprays Water: Old man, so the seven nations of Teyvat have officially formed an alliance now?
Leisurely Strolling the Mortal Realm: Indeed. With the help of the Horse Talisman provided by Wu Tong, I've resolved the crises of the other nations. After learning of the Infinite Void and the existence of this chat group, they agreed to Liyue's proposal for an alliance.
Don't Bully the Young and Poor: What about Khaenri'ah? Are they allies too, old man?
Leisurely Strolling the Mortal Realm: Not quite. The grudge between Khaenri'ah and the Heavenly Principles runs too deep. The Prince of the Abyss doesn't trust us, so he refused the alliance.

Don't Bully the Young and Poor: ???
Newbie???
What's going on? I was only offline for seven days—how did a new member suddenly appear?
Has a month already passed that quickly?
And... "Don't Bully the Young and Poor"?
Will this guy's name eventually evolve into "Don't Bully the Middle-Aged and Poor" and "Don't Bully the Old and Poor"?
Wu Tong silently made a complaint as he stared at the sudden appearance of this username.
"Let's see who chose a worthy name."
While muttering to himself, Wu Tong clicked on the new member's profile—Xiao Yan.
Oh... it's you. That makes sense. Fitting.
He then scrolled through the member list and found two other newcomers:
Kon Kamuy from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, with the group nickname Hungry Dragon Roar. It seemed she hadn't been adopted by Kobayashi yet.
Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut, with the group nickname Fallen Angel.
After skimming the chat logs, Wu Tong noticed that this lazy angel had already fully embraced her堕落 lifestyle.
"Hmm, the timeline's a bit tricky here... Should I go and snatch Tohru first?"
Wu Tong rubbed his chin, contemplating the characters' current story progression.
Having an obedient dragon maid like Tohru would be nice...
But after some thought, he gave up on the idea.
Tohru's temper and jealousy are too intense. If I took her in, my future harem would definitely be a mess.
Besides, compared to Tohru, I prefer Lucoa—that big sister is not only explosively well-endowed but also incredibly good-natured, occasionally dropping some Welfare scenes.
"If I have time later, I'll visit the Dragon Maid world."
Having made up his mind, Wu Tong closed the member list and refocused on the chat.
...
Seeker of Truth: New members? My apologies, I've been busy lately and haven't had a chance to log in. Didn't expect so many newcomers already.
Seeker of Truth: [Luck-Based Red Packet].
Group Assistant: Member "Seeker of Truth" has sent a luck-based red packet. Everyone, hurry and grab it!
Fallen Angel: 600 points? Boss is generous (bows in thanks).
...
Gabriel DropOut World
The fully堕落 angel Gabriel sat cross-legged, scratching her feet while gaming, occasionally taunting other players for their lack of skill.
Suddenly, a notification from the Dimensional Chat Group popped up.
This chat group is my lifeline for resisting my sister and ensuring I can stay in the human world. Can't afford any mishaps!
Gabriel hurriedly opened it.
Wow, a whale is throwing money around! $_$
As soon as she entered the group, she spotted a massive red packet and immediately snatched it, securing 600 points.
Gabriel was thrilled—this was 600 points!
With this, I won't have to worry about living expenses for months!
...
Don't Bully the Young and Poor: Wow, so this is the other cheater transmigrator? Finally showing up, huh?
Don't Bully the Young and Poor: Oh? A red packet? Mine!
Don't Bully the Young and Poor: 1,000 points? Thanks, big bro!
...
Battle Through the Heavens World
Back Mountains of the Xiao Clan
Xiao Yan lay on the grass, chatting in the group while marveling at Wu Tong's generosity.
1,000 points is no small amount, especially for someone like me right now.
Two days ago, a black card had appeared before him.
The moment he saw it, Xiao Yan's heart raced—he could swear those characters were Earth's Chinese script.
In his excitement, he accepted the invitation without even reading the details properly.
And just like that, he joined this cross-dimensional chat group spanning countless worlds.
After learning about his own story from the group's records, Xiao Yan finally understood why he couldn't cultivate.
Soon after, using items exchanged from the group, he confronted Yao Lao and successfully became his disciple, embarking on his original path.
But with this chat group, many of the regrets from the original story can be avoided.
For example... the humiliation of the broken engagement.
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he thought of Nalan Yanran.
...
Hungry Dragon Roar: 1,400 points! Yay, I can buy delicious food now!
Hungry Dragon Roar: Thank you (◕‿◕).
Kon Kamuy's eyes sparkled as she checked her balance and swiftly navigated to the group's shopping mall.
She expertly opened the food section, where countless mouth-watering dishes were displayed on plates, ready for her to pick.
"Majide yabai!"
Kon muttered in admiration before eagerly browsing the endless array of delicacies.
...
Slime King: A red packet? Mine! ...Only 300 points?
Camera Girl: Hehe, I got 600. What about everyone else?
No Shame No Gain: Not bad, I snagged 1,000 this time. Heh.
Crimson Phoenix Immortal: ...100.
Sky-Founding Monarch: 5,000.
Leisurely Strolling the Mortal Realm: Not too shabby—I got 1,900.
Camera Girl: Huh? Wu Tong, how much did you send?
Seeker of Truth: 15,000.
Camera Girl: Then that means...
Dragon King Sprays Water: ...100 points.
Everyone: ...
How the hell did you and Fu Hua manage to grab only 100 points out of 15,000?!
When the group owner recruited three new members, everyone thought her luck had finally improved.
Turns out, she's still the same African chief, with absolutely no change in fortune.
The dramatic rise and fall was truly sigh-inducing.
Well, Fu Hua's luck is equally terrible, but at least hers is consistently bad (laughs).
Dragon King Sprays Water: DIE, EUROPEAN DOGS!!!
