NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 7: I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [7]
Mind Reader: Hello, True Lord of Bright Futures, did you complete the emergency mission?
True Lord of Bright Futures: It is done. The foe was formidable, and the battle long. Yet in the end, victory is mine.
Mind Reader: That's a relief. You should speak up in the group soon—everyone is worried about you. The mission just disappeared, and we were all terrified that something might have happened to you.
True Lord of Bright Futures: I see… thank you for your concern.
Zhongli's usually calm heart stirred slightly at her words. A faint ripple spread through his thoughts, but after a few seconds, he exhaled softly and opened the chat group interface.
The atmosphere in the group was unexpectedly heavy.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: No way… Why did the mission disappear? Did True Lord of Bright Futures finish it already?
Hopeless Villain: Hmph, impossible! Sweetheart Angel might be trash, but he's still one of the strongest in our group. If even he needed help for this battle, how could it have ended so quickly? Unless… this "True Lord of Bright Futures" is as strong as "Lonely Little Kobayashi."
Divine Lord Is the Greatest: But doesn't that mean something bad might have happened to True Lord? I remember the last time a mission disappeared so fast—it was in "I Want to Save Madoka's" world. None of the team came back, not even Madoka herself. She's never appeared in the group since.
My Sister Is So Annoying: Please stop talking about it.
The Real Deal: Why stop? Shouldn't we face the truth? Pretending it doesn't exist won't change the situation. If we don't talk about it, people like Sweetheart Angel and True Lord of Bright Futures will simply vanish. Their worlds will "correct" their existence, and no one will remember them anymore.
The Real Deal: Only we can remember them!
My Sister Is So Annoying: I said stop it!!!
The Real Deal: Coward! If I were your sister, I wouldn't like you either!
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: …
My Sister Is So Annoying: …I'm sorry…
Mind Reader: Hmm… I know everyone's upset, but… I can't help but laugh a little. Sorry, I just can't hold it in.
The Real Deal: Nana, what are you talking about?
Mind Reader: It's just… um, as a professional, I know it's inappropriate, but I can't help it…
The Real Deal: Nana… are you—??
True Lord of Bright Futures: Ahem.
The Real Deal: !!!!!
My Sister Is So Annoying: !!!!!+1
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: !!!!!+1
Divine Lord Is the Greatest: !!!!!+1
True Lord of Bright Futures: !!!!!+1
Mind Reader: Hahahaha!
The Real Deal: Give me back my heartbreak! If you were alive, you should've said something earlier! Why did you have to join the exclamation train?! Aaaah!!! I can't take this! I'm logging off!
True Lord of Bright Futures: I apologize.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: Hahaha, it's fine, it's fine. What matters is you're okay.
True Lord of Bright Futures: I apologize for worrying Miss The Real Deal. I didn't mean to cause concern. After returning from Sweetheart Angel's world, I spent some time reflecting and didn't check the group messages right away. My deepest apologies.
True Lord of Bright Futures: @The Real Deal
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: Hahaha, no need to tag her. She really logged off. She probably won't check the group for the rest of the day. Let me laugh a bit more first.
Divine Lord Is the Greatest: Though it's a little funny, we should still be considerate of Miss The Real Deal. Let me ask a question instead. True Lord, you completed the emergency mission so quickly—you must be incredibly strong. If possible, could you visit my world and teach me some martial skills? I can offer 3,000 points as compensation for your time.
True Lord of Bright Futures: …If I have time, I'll consider it. Compensation won't be necessary—I don't have much need for points, and the system store doesn't interest me much.
Divine Lord Is the Greatest: No, it's a matter of etiquette. Lord Divine taught me to always offer appropriate payment to those who help me, to avoid making them feel unappreciated.
True Lord of Bright Futures: If you insist.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: @Divine Lord Is the Greatest, you're so diligent! Saving up so many points just to use them all at once. By the way, True Lord, how is Sweetheart Angel? Is he in any danger?
True Lord of Bright Futures: He's fine. Before I left, I treated his injuries. He should recover without any lasting effects.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: As expected of someone called an "Immortal"! Such a powerful figure. @Hopeless Villain, haha, you've been proven wrong again. True Lord is as strong as Miss Kobayashi.
Hopeless Villain: Shut up. Just because True Lord is strong doesn't mean you are. You're just some freeloader living with a woman who carries you like dead weight. Remember how you got wrecked like a dog the other day?
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: And yet, I saved everyone and now live happily with Emilia. What about you, Villain? What have you done to improve yourself?
Hopeless Villain: Shut up, trash!
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: Oh?
Mind Reader: Alright, alright, everyone, let's calm down. No need for this argument. Let's celebrate having another powerhouse in the group instead.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: Oh, right! True Lord, True Lord, if I ever encounter an unsolvable crisis, you must find time to help me.
True Lord of Bright Futures: If I have the time, I won't refuse. I believe that fair and just contracts are the foundation of all progress.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: Got it.
Mind Reader: As long as you understand. Let me remind you, though—summoning someone like True Lord or Miss Kobayashi requires a High-Level Mission Card or High-Level Emergency Card. You'll need at least 10,000 points to activate one.
Emilia Is Absolutely Adorable Cult: What?! What do I do? I've barely earned 4,000 points from signing in, and I just spent some on an infinite-ammo Desert Eagle.
Mind Reader: Then work harder! Hahaha. For reference, I've been in this group for three months and still haven't hit 10,000 points.
