Chương 177: New Group Members

Over the next few days, Richard and his group wandered around the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

I visited all sorts of famous historical sites, mountains, and rivers. I've gone boating on West Lake, skied on Mount Everest, climbed Mount Tai, and trekked Mount Hua.

I've seen pandas in Sichuan and even compared them to cubs of the Iron-Eating Beast clan from the Origin Space; they do look quite alike.

The difference in their fighting abilities is enormous; this iron-eating beast cub easily defeated several adult giant pandas.

I have traveled all over the beautiful land.

Even Daiyu was having a blast. Although this was her own world, before joining the chat group, she was a typical young lady from a respectable family, and she was also frail and sickly, rarely leaving the house more than a few times a year.

It's impossible to travel all over the world.

After joining the chat group, although her strength did improve rapidly, she dared not leave the manor because she was worried about Fairy Jinghuan and the others.

So I haven't gone out much in the past few years, staying at home to focus on my cultivation.

Just as the group was having a great time, they learned that many powerful families in the court had fallen on hard times, with some having their homes confiscated and others being beheaded.

This included Lin Daiyu's maternal family, the Jia family; neither of the two duke's mansions escaped, and their property was confiscated.

Depending on the crime, those who should be beheaded are beheaded, and those who should be exiled are exiled.

The others weren't too affected, but the Duke's mansion was confiscated, all his property was seized, and his entire family was evicted.

Daiyu had to hurry back, even though the affairs of those two mansions did not involve her family.

But since it was her maternal family, she had to lend a hand when the Jia family was in trouble, at the very least she had to help settle the elderly, weak, women and children.

Anyway, it's not much trouble. Just find them a house, give them some money, and maybe hire two more people to take care of the old lady.

The Jia family had been wealthy for generations and had many relatives and friends by marriage. Although many of them suffered along with the Four Kings and Eight Dukes this time, there were always families like the Lin family that were not dragged down.

If everyone helps each other out, we can still make ends meet.

It's impossible to live a life of luxury like before, but ordinary people can still make a living.

As for the Jia family's misfortune, the original plot did not provide a clear explanation from the perspective of the women's household.

But in the real world today, things are actually quite simple: the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are all former princelings.

However, the crown prince failed to ascend the throne and was deposed midway through his reign.

At that time, the retired emperor was in poor condition and passed the throne to the current emperor.

However, after the abdication, the retired emperor did not die; instead, his health recovered.

This led to a power conflict between the retired emperor and the current emperor.

These princes and nobles felt that they had offended the current emperor when they were part of the crown prince's faction and were not very popular with him.

So they surrounded the retired emperor, supporting him in challenging the current emperor.

Now that the retired emperor has passed away, these people will naturally be purged by the current emperor.

That's the glorified story; almost all the nobles who suffered misfortune were involved in it.

This is hopeless.

These nobles are doomed; those who manage to save their lives are lucky.

Lin Daiyu parted ways with Richard and the others and hurried home.

Father Lin Ruhai has already arranged for people to go to the capital to help settle the Jia family members.

"Father, should I go to the capital?" Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and decided that she had to go herself.

"What are you going there for? What use is a woman like you who is not yet married?"

"Go play somewhere else, Dad has already sent the head steward over." Lin Ruhai retorted without even thinking.

"Then what use is my coming back?" Lin Daiyu was a little confused.

"Yeah, didn't you go out to hang out with your group members? Have they all left?" Lin Ruhai knew about the chat group.

Richard's arrival was, in his view, simply the arrival of several otherworldly deities who were visiting, with Daiyu accompanying them.

Daiyu received so many gifts and help from the group members, so it's only right that she stays with them.

Even the elixir he drank when he was critically ill was given to him by his fellow group members.

This is a life-saving grace, and I haven't even properly thanked you yet.

"We haven't left yet; we're still sightseeing," Daiyu replied.

"When do you think we should host a banquet and invite your immortal friends?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Just as Lin Daiyu was about to reply, a new member joined the group.

So she didn't have time to reply to her father, and hurriedly told him that a new member had joined the group, and then turned her attention to the group.

"Ding! Welcome to the chat group: The Old Man Who Wants to Die But Can't, The Maid of the Daydreaming Dog, The Imperial Preceptor Who Cultivates Unorthodox Techniques, The Loyal Swordsman Who Died from Striking the Divine Stone."

Guina: Welcome new group member.

Wanwan: Welcome newcomers to the group! Newcomers, post your photos and let me see if there are any pretty girls.

Yue Buqun: Welcome, fellow Daoists. This is a chat group connecting all the heavens and myriad worlds. We are all lucky people chosen by this chat group from different worlds.

Tu Shan Ya Ya: Another new person has arrived? Welcome.

Lin Feng: The names of these new group members are all so abstract.

Xia Mi: That's quite abstract. Can you guess their identities?

Raymond Lam: I can probably guess.

Maid of the Dog of Imagination: Hello, is this some kind of secret gathering? Are you all extraordinary beings?

Inside the massive estate villa in Queensback Hill.

With her long golden hair, pure as a gemstone, deep as the sea, and captivating emerald eyes, Audrey Hall blinked. It seemed she had joined some secret organization.

According to the rules, she should report it to the church, but right now she is very curious about the extraordinary beings and eager to see that magical world.

The chat group came so suddenly that she was a little at a loss, her exquisite and perfect features even seemed a bit dazed.

His gaze was vacant as he looked down at the vast, lavishly decorated villa with its expansive gardens. The servants below were busy at work, oblivious to the girl staring blankly at the manor from above.

"Susie, what should I do?" Audrey stroked the soft fur of the golden retriever beside her.

She ultimately didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she sent a message in the group.

After sending the message, Audrey looked embarrassed.

The maid of the dog of daydreams? Who? Is this referring to her?

When did she become the maid of some inexplicable, delusional dog?

What kind of extraordinary creature is this Imaginary Dog?

Raymond Lam: For example, this one is easy to guess, right? Miss Audrey Hall, the most dazzling jewel of Backlund.

Maid of the Dog of Daydreams: You know me? What's with my name?

Lin Feng: I do know some things. Your world is a bit special. I can't send you the plot of your world until you have the ability to deal with it.

Raymond Lam: You can change your name. Just click on your profile picture and you'll find the option to change your name.

Audrey Hall: I saw it, thank you.

Audrey Hall: My world is special? How is it special? Are you really not from my world?

Xia Mi: Yeah, how special is it? Didn't you always send us the plot details before? Why can't this little girl send it?

Raymond Lam: It's unique. Your world has a special characteristic: knowledge is polluted. Knowing too much without sufficient ability is not a good thing.

Xia Mi: I've learned something new about this world.

Shrink: Gained knowledge +1 Ye Zhen: Learned something new +2. It's a bit like our chaotic world where evil spirits have resurrected.

Raymond Lam: We're really not from the same world as you. You've read the novel, haven't you? The reason I know about your world is because I've read a novel about it.

Audrey Hall: So I get it, so my world is a fictional world?

Raymond Lam: Not really. You guys are real. We guessed it's because— Lin Feng brought out the theory of information interaction among the heavens, which he had always explained to new members whenever they joined the group, and explained it again.

During this process, the other new members of the group remained quiet, neither speaking in the group nor changing their names according to Lin Feng's instructions.

Whether they believe what Lin Feng said or not, only they themselves know.

Audrey Hall: Oh, I see. So, is there a way to become a superhuman in the group?

Lin Feng: Looks like you haven't joined the Tarot Club yet. Yes, but the extraordinary beings in the group are very different from the extraordinary beings in your world.

Lin Feng: In your world, extraordinary beings advance step by step by taking potions, digesting potions, and then taking even more advanced potions.

The advantage of this extraordinary path is that it's easy to advance; as long as you can digest the potion, you can advance quickly. The disadvantage is that it's easy to lose control and turn into a monster.

Lin Feng: Everyone in the group becomes stronger through cultivation. There are cultivation methods from multiple worlds in the group, which are in the group files.

Compared to the extraordinary path in your world, the advantage of these cultivation methods is that they are less likely to get out of control, but the disadvantage is that cultivation takes time.

Xia Mi: There's such a path to extraordinary power? She can become stronger just by taking medicine. I'm becoming more and more curious about her world.

Richard: I advise you not to go there. Can you guess what kind of situation would lead to such a world?

Here's a hint: When a whale falls, everything comes to life.

Xia Mi: Hiss, a powerful figure has fallen?

Richard: That's enough, no need to say anymore. If we keep talking, Audrey will be in danger; that guy isn't quite dead yet. He's also the biggest source of pollution in their world.

Xia Mi: Okay, I understand. You even advised me not to go, so it seems like things are really complicated there.

Audrey Hall: I don't quite understand what you're talking about.

Audrey's little head was filled with great confusion.

Lin Feng: It's better not to understand, it would be dangerous if you did.

Audrey Hall: What price would I have to pay if I wanted to obtain your cultivation methods?

Audrey stopped dwelling on the questions she couldn't understand. She felt that the mysterious gate to the extraordinary was finally about to open for her, and today she might be able to obtain the cultivation methods from her fellow group members.

Lin Feng: You can redeem points. Points can be obtained by uploading extraordinary knowledge and various inheritances, or you can trade with other group members.

Lin Feng: But Audrey, I don't recommend that you exchange for the cultivation method immediately.

Your world is too heavily polluted. Let's wait until some expert in the group goes into your world and helps you solve those problems.

Audrey Hall: Sir, you keep emphasizing that my world is severely polluted by the supernatural, but how could that be? We have divine protection.

Raymond Lam: You clay idols are barely able to save yourselves, and the blind monks themselves are in poor condition, suffering from pollution. Where can we find help for you?

Audrey Hall: Sir, I must solemnly remind you that you are blaspheming and will be hanged.

Raymond Lam: It's okay, I'm not under the jurisdiction of the gods in your world. Although I can't beat the gods in your world, there are powerful figures in the group who can defeat me.

Audrey was stunned. Did Lin Feng mean that there was a being in the group who was comparable to a god?

Aside from the orthodox gods of war, all of them can be classified as evil gods, so there are evil gods in the group?

She was getting restless. Should she go and report him to the Erhui? After all, he was an evil god.
