Chat Group: Traits, Gacha, and Crossovers Chapter 26 26: The Group Chat Quest From █████ world

— — — — — —

After picking up the "Forgotten One" from the entrance, Veyron found himself a little awkward when Inukimi asked about his health with concern.

To smooth things over, he offered her three large hunted beasts from the One Piece world as a "welco to the family" gift.

Inukimi: "!!!"

Inukimi saw the beasts and was shocked.

None of them were yokai—so how the hell were they this big?

And the sheer vitality coming off them… it was insane!

Not just that—they digested and absorbed incredibly fast too!

Feeling her body start to change after eating the at, Inukimi was absolutely delighted.

Veyron didn't feel guilty anymore, seeing her like that.

anwhile, Veyron opened the chat group to share the good news with the others.

And right as he joined in, the topic being discussed was actually about him.

『Earth's Cancer: Another day, another failure to awaken Haki… (sigh.jpg)』

『Snake Empress: Honestly, that's more normal than you think.』

『Snake Empress: It's not so much that your Haki progress is slow… it's that the others are progressing at a ridiculous pace.』

『Catwoman: True, especially Gwen!』

『Lady Avalon: Approved!』

『Ghost Spider: Miss rlin, why are you joining in the teasing now…』

『Catwoman: Gwen, you figured out the nature of Haki just by observing it on your first day in that world. If you actually trained properly, you could've mastered it on Day One.』

『Lady Avalon: That's a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe… three days?』

『Hellish Blizzard: ...』

『Earth's Cancer: ...』

『Ghost Spider: See? Tops, three days.』

『Ghost Spider: And Selena, if you hadn't just dipped in and out of Rusukaina Island after awakening Observation Haki, you probably would've unlocked Armant Haki by now.』

『Catwoman: Hey, I've been training my Observation Haki, okay? I spend like half my nights patrolling the streets of Gotham just to get better at it!』

『Ghost Spider: And the other half?』

『Catwoman: Don't you people sleep?』

『Hellish Blizzard: Then what about dayti…?』

『Catwoman: Obviously, I enjoy life!』

『Catwoman: What's the point of making all this money if I don't spend it? Just letting it sit in an account is pointless!』

『Hellish Blizzard: …』

『Earth's Cancer: Lazy cat confird.』

『Catwoman: Tsk~!』

『Catwoman: Anyway, aren't you guys forgetting soone in this group who's even more ridiculous?』

『Earth's Cancer: Actually, we didn't forget.』

『Earth's Cancer: But considering his… special circumstances, we once voted to move him into the "exception" category along with rlin when you weren't online.』

They were rembering the ti Veyron casually waved his blade, slicing several miles of ocean in half with a crimson slash.

Chika was the most shocked.

Back when he first joined the group, she saw his userna and thought, Finally, soone normal like .

『Earth's Cancer: Speaking of Veyron… how many days has it been for him now?』

『Snake Empress: Day seven.』

『Snake Empress: Not sure if he's made it ho yet though.』

『Ordinary Person: Got back a few hours ago.』

『Earth's Cancer: Eh? Veyron, you're here?』

『Ordinary Person: Yeah.』

『Ordinary Person: I ant to let you all know when I arrived, but sothing ca up and delayed a bit.』

『Earth's Cancer: What happened?』

『Ordinary Person: …Take a look for yourselves.』

『Ordinary Person: (Image.jpg)』

He posted a photo of himself holding a Tomoe ring forged from spiritual energy.

『Lady Avalon: You did it?』

Everyone knew Veyron had been trying to acquire his world's spiritual energy system during his training on Rusukaina. He'd told them about it before.

And that Tomoe ring in the photo? Definitely not sothing Haki could produce.

『Ordinary Person: Yeah, tried again after getting back, and this ti it worked.』

『Ordinary Person: Oh right…』

[System ssage: User 『Ordinary Person』 has sent a targeted red envelope to 『Lady Avalon』]

『Ordinary Person: Finally saved up enough.』

『Lady Avalon: I told you it wasn't that urgent~!』

rlin accepted the envelope—100 points transferred.

『Ordinary Person: Eh, wasn't spending them on anything else anyway. Figured I might as well settle my debts so it's not weighing on .』

『Earth's Cancer: That might've been true before, but things changed after the system upgraded, right?』

『Ordinary Person: Then tell , of all the new functions, which one is actually worth the points?』

『Earth's Cancer: Uh… the Gacha?』

『Ordinary Person: ???』

『Earth's Cancer: Okay, forget I said that. (facepalm.jpg)』

Fujiwara Chika still regretted being the first to try a ten-roll… and winning ten trash prizes and one extra, scaring off anyone else from trying.

『Earth's Cancer: What about the shop then?』

『Earth's Cancer: Yeah, most items are pricey, but the refreshes do show so rare finds. What if sothing perfect shows up next ti?』

『Ordinary Person: Lem give you a life tip.』

『Ordinary Person: If I don't look, the shop can't tempt .』

『Earth's Cancer: ...…』

『Lady Avalon: That's… kind of groundless, but not entirely wrong.』

『Lady Avalon: Still, before the upgrade, the only way to earn points was daily check-ins.』

『Lady Avalon: After the upgrade, it's still only check-ins… Honestly, the lack of ways to earn points stresses out. I worry that if I spend them now, I won't have enough later when sothing really good cos up.』

『Ghost Spider: For real.』

『Ghost Spider: There've been a bunch of cool items lately, but I just can't afford them.』

『Catwoman: Couldn't agree more.』

『Hellish Blizzard: 1』

『Snake Empress: 1』

Everyone, not just Veyron and Chika, agreed with rlin's complaint.

『Earth's Cancer: @Group System, co out and take the heat!』

『Earth's Cancer: Or at least… drop a quest or sothing already!』

『Catwoman: As if that's gonna happen. Just saying it is pointless—』

Selena tossed out a jab.

Normally, if an @ actually goes through, the symbol and na turn a different color. But Chika's ssage didn't change color—which ant…

"…???"

Staring at the top of the group chat interface, Selena froze.

[Group Announcent: Request received from █████ world's Will.

[Quest has been posted in the Task Board.]

『Earth's Cancer: Huh??』

『Catwoman: Forget "huh", quick! @Group System, give a hundred million points—right now!』

『Ghost Spider: I want ten billion!』

『Ordinary Person: Then I'll start with a hundred billion. If that's not enough, we can talk later.』

『Earth's Cancer: …』
