Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Group Functionality Unlocked, the Value of the Phoenix Fruit

"alpha, warp to this coordinate!"

With rapid calculations in his mind, the Envoy Authority: Astrology shifted slightly, locking onto the coordinates.

Although he still hadn't fully grasped and controlled the Authority: Astrology, using it for some basic functions was not difficult.

And just this minimal use was enough to calculate every detail of a planet, from its conception, birth, development, and prosperity all the way to its demise, all within a second!

And Astrology was not just a method of calculation!

It had a more profound essence yet to be discovered.

However, that was not something that could be figured out in a short time.

Just as he was finishing up his experiment and thinking about preparing a reunion surprise for Pom-Pom, the voice of the Chat Group suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ding, detected Chat Group meets upgrade conditions, Admin is activating group functions."

"Ding, Group Check-in function activated, Group Mall activated, Group Lottery function activated."

Huh?

The Chat Group was finally getting on track?

And it opened three major functions at once, transforming the Chat Group from a simple chat tool into a qualified golden finger.

With a hint of anticipation, Hermes opened the Chat Group, preparing to research the uses of these three functions.

[Group Check-in Function: Daily check-in is available to obtain 1-10 points. Points will serve as the official designated currency of the Chat Group.]

[Group Mall Function: Activates an item trading platform between group members. The Chat Group will deduct 1% of the item's value in points as a cost for localizing different world rules.]

[Note: The bug in the Red Packet function has been fixed. Subsequent red packet transmissions will incur corresponding points.]

[Group Lottery Function: Group members can spend a certain amount of points to randomly draw/exchange items from all the myriad worlds and boundless void through the Chat Group's channels.]

[Note: The Chat Group itself does not have a prize reserve. All prizes are obtained through legitimate channels using points. The quality of the prize has some relation to the quantity of points, but the causal relationship is not absolute. Group members are advised to gamble responsibly!]

Female protagonist in crossover anime: "It's finally upgraded. That really took a lot out of me."

Female protagonist in crossover anime: "The Chat Group's upgrade algorithm is truly difficult. I even had to estimate and reserve memory for activating group functions. This time, I saved up for a long time just to get these three crucial functions open first!"

Lumine wiped the sweat from her forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the Admin of the Chat Group, she had, to some extent, glimpsed a trace of the Chat Group's essence.

Although the essence of this Chat Group was very high, it was currently only a newborn baby.

Where this baby would go was somewhat related to the group members, and controlling the direction was her responsibility as the Admin.

Lumine: "As a Traveler, when it comes to opening treasure chests/lotteries, I'm second to none!"

Looking at the newly opened functions, Lumine's eyes shone brightly, and her hands almost involuntarily wanted to draw once—this was the chest-opening instinct of a Teyvat Traveler!

Cynthia: "But the lottery costs points, right? Isn't it a bit too early to draw now?"

The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "No problem, the Chat Group seems to have considered this issue and gave everyone one free lottery experience?"

Konan: "I also have one."

Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Thank me! This is a benefit I deducted from the Chat Group's reserves, meant for experience."

Lumine glanced at her Admin panel and sighed. This Chat Group was good, but it was currently only in its baby form. Even if she was the Admin, she could only honestly develop discreetly and couldn't squeeze out too much profit.

Mount Hua Sect Leader: "Thank you, Admin!"

... The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "May the Admin be a good person and live a peaceful life!"

A Admin who could secure benefits for the group members naturally received a wave of praise from them.

Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Chat Group bless me, I don't have high expectations. Kaido's Azure Dragon devil fruit would actually be pretty good. If not, Marco the Phoenix's phoenix fruit is also acceptable."

The Most Heinous Criminal in History: "Uh, your demands are really not high! Both the phoenix and the azure Dragon are legendary Mythical Zoan types, extremely rare even in the World Government's treasury!"

Dragon gave a wry smile. devil fruits of this caliber were, to some extent, already legends. Even if a useless person ate one and trained hard, dominating a region would definitely not be an issue.

The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "If that's your expectation, you don't need to rely on the lottery function."

Then, in the group chat interface, a Chat Group appraisal statement was thrown out.

devil fruit - Phoenix Form

[Extracted from the genes of the Twilight Ancient Beast - Phoenix, a crystallization of wisdom born from the hands of Genius Society - #84 Hermes. The consumer will be granted the potential physique to traverse the starry cosmos like a Twilight Ancient Beast, and the phoenix flame capable of rebirth through nirvana.]

[Chat Group appraisal, estimated value in points: 998,000!]

Immediately, the entire Chat Group fell silent.

Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Ahhh! Is this still a devil fruit? Isn't this just a devil fruit wearing the skin of a Twilight Ancient Beast?"

Lumine was the first to recover, her eyes wide as she intently stared at the information that appeared before her.

What kind of existence were the Twilight Ancient Beasts?

They were a terrifying race of cosmic behemoths that once brawled with the entire universe, ultimately giving rise to the Aeon of Preservation - Qlipoth!

It could be said that, purely in terms of physical potential, almost no life in the entire Honkai: Star Rail World could compare to them!

But now, someone had condensed such a terrifying life form into such a small fruit!

Lumine: "Good heavens, as expected of the genius whom the Admin said only 85 could be born in the entire universe from ancient times to the present. I saw the devil fruit Dragon just appraised, and the most expensive one was only 2890 points, right?"

As a Traveler who had once roamed the Star Sea, Lumine naturally understood the concept of the universe.

With such a terrifying scope and such a long span of time, only 85 people could appear. The value of that goes without saying!

The Trailblaze of Wisdom: "@The Most Heinous Criminal in History, Dragon, thank you for your devil fruits. They have provided no small inspiration for my research."

The Most Heinous Criminal in History: "No need, to achieve results is your own ability. These devil fruits themselves are my thanks to the Admin."

Dragon looked at the message noncommittally. In his world, the history of devil fruits was uninvestigable, but why hadn't anyone else researched them to understand their essence?

The strongest one was only Vegapunk, who cloned a Mythical Zoan - Pink Dragon.

Without much hesitation, Lumine, using her Admin authority, temporarily waived the red packet transfer fee and sent the phoenix fruit over.

Anyway, there was no rush. It wasn't too late to eat it after finishing the lottery.

Froese: "As expected of a figure capable of rewriting the situation of the entire universe."

Froese spoke with emotion. Her three adopted children also had the potential to change the world in the future, but their sphere of influence was only limited to Earth.
