200: New and old people in the cross-border group

“Hmm… that’s true…” Lin Zhi pouted, listening to Lin Ze’s words. She felt this life was quite good.

Her initial increase in strength was to help Lin Ze, wanting to fight alongside him and not be a burden.

Then, as her strength grew, she even thought about whether she could Awaken some powerful talent or ability, and then “ascend”! She would protect Lin Ze!

Unfortunately, this remained only a dream, shattered within a month.

Now, she could quietly be a “little wife,” doing whatever she was told.

After being with Lin Ze for so long, although Lin Ze himself said he was “decisive,” “cold-blooded,” “profit-driven,” “self-centered,” and a “heartless killer,” and he acted that way, Lin Zhi actually knew that Lin Ze was a very warm person and had emotions.

He was just very reserved.

Even abandoning her wasn't due to a lack of affection, but because staying would only mean one more death… it was unnecessary and not worth it.

He was just very rational.

Lin Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it; she thought it was good.

If Lin Ze ran and became stronger, he could still avenge her.

However, these were all just individual viewpoints and thoughts, varying from person to person, with no right or wrong.

As for Lin Ze’s “confusion,” she had no solution. After all, what else could they do? They couldn't just do “that.”

Or were they going to seek thrills, exploring various dead zones and forbidden lands?

There was no need… they initially survived, then lived better.

It wasn't about seeking death, hovering on the brink of life and death, or looking for thrills.

“Let’s go,” Lin Ze suddenly stood up and said.

“Ah?!” Lin Zhi was startled, looking up at Lin Ze in confusion. However, she glanced at the battle below—it was almost over, and humanity had won.

Understanding Lin Ze’s meaning, she got up and followed him, leaving the area.

As Lin Ze had said before, since the human side won, this monster was no longer their concern.

Suddenly, Lin Ze’s steps halted.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Zhi almost bumped into Lin Ze’s back, looking at the suddenly still Lin Ze in confusion. She thought there was danger and couldn't help but look around.

A voice appeared in Lin Ze’s mind: [The Cross-Border Exchange Group invites you to join the group chat!]

[Yes / No]

Immediately, information about the Cross-Border Exchange Group appeared in Lin Ze’s mind.

“Cross-Border Exchange Group, huh…” Lin Ze’s eyes immediately lit up, and he directly selected [Yes].

“Oh, nothing. Let’s find a place to rest,” Lin Ze said to Lin Zhi, coming back to his senses.

“Mm, okay!” Lin Zhi was about to say she hadn’t noticed anything, but hearing Lin Ze say that, she immediately agreed.

Lin Ze and Lin Zhi found a relatively safe spot nearby and sat down to rest.

“I’ll take a nap; you do as you please,” Lin Ze said, then took out a table and casually placed books, snacks, and drinks on it.

Then he took out two sofas.

Lin Ze directly leaned back on a sofa.

“Okay,” Lin Zhi nodded and sat on the other sofa, then picked up a book, opened the snacks, and twisted open the drink, eating, drinking, and reading with great relish.

Clearly, this was not the first time they had done this.

Cross-Border Exchange Group.

“Eh?! A new person again! Good heavens! Why does it suddenly feel like people are joining so frequently recently?!” Lin Zifeng again felt a change in the Cross-World Group; a new person had joined.

Before, it took ages for someone to join, but recently… good heavens, one after another! Ran Quan, Miya-pasu, and now another new person.

Lin Zifeng had already left his sect to venture further away for training. On the road, he had nothing to do, and when the Cross-World Group had activity, he immediately entered.

“Hello, everyone!” When Lin Zifeng entered, he saw that everyone else was already there and greeted them.

“Why hasn’t the new person entered?” Miya-pasu looked left and right. If a new person came, she would become an “elder”!

She hadn’t experienced being a “senior” yet!

She wondered about the strength of this newcomer… hoping they weren’t too strong! Otherwise, she would still be a “junior.”

After all, strength was paramount; age was secondary.

As everyone chatted for a few moments, they saw a figure slowly emerge.

“Hmm, is this the Cross-World Group?” Lin Ze watched the world around him change.

The scene he was in was somewhat interesting… but why were there so many people?

Lin Ze looked at the group of people in front of him, raising an eyebrow. These must be the members of the Cross-World Group, right?

“Welcome, new person!” Miya-pasu took the initiative to welcome him.

“Welcome, new person!” Lin Zifeng also said with a smile.

“Hello, everyone!” Lin Ze nodded with a smile, secretly observing everyone’s world level and combat power level.

Because of the “information infusion” from the Cross-World Group, he understood the meaning of all these functions and information.

“The new person is pretty good!” Lin Zifeng saw that Lin Ze’s world level was 1, but his combat power had reached level 2.

He wondered if Lin Ze was the ceiling of their world, or just newly level 2.

They also knew that, under normal circumstances, world level was 1:2 with combat power level.

Meaning, a level 1 world’s peak combat power was level 2.

Of course, this was under normal circumstances, but those who usually joined the chat group also had systems.

This was the “information” they received from Clarissa, and usually, they would receive an invitation to the chat group shortly after obtaining their system.

Under normal circumstances, there were very few “chosen ones” from the start.

Lin Zifeng and the others couldn't have guessed that Lin Ze was a “founding member” and not a “chosen one” from the beginning.

Lin Ze basically observed everyone once. The strongest was Administrator - Clarissa, followed by Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, Bai Mo… these people.

Combat power level 3, level 2, level 2. Hmm… Miya-pasu was level 1, and Ran Quan was also level 1.

He was level 2… Although Lin Ze had information from the Cross-World Group and knew that combat power levels had a large span, he was definitely stronger than Miya-pasu and Ran Quan. As for Bai Mo and Lin Zifeng, who were at the same level… he didn’t know.

However, Lin Ze wasn't too concerned about this strength issue; he was very excited now.

Because he saw more possibilities and a grander world!

Celestial Realms!

It turned out he still had pursuits!

“New person, do you mind talking about your world?” Lin Zifeng directly conjured a chair and sat down.

As the Cross-World Group had updated to now, this space had evolved to include corresponding “memorial tablets” and “private rooms” for members.

And the main hall here was a very spacious communication area.

Then various functions were also divided into corresponding areas and doors.

One could directly “transfer by thought” or normally walk over, open a door, and enter.

And everyone, based on their permissions, could have some small benefits.

For example, in the main hall, Lin Zifeng conjured a chair and sat down.

Everyone else also followed suit, conjuring chairs and sitting down.

Lin Ze learned from their actions. With a thought, he also conjured a chair and sat down.

This Cross-World Group is interesting… Lin Ze felt the realness of the chair beneath him.

“My world, I don’t know if it’s special compared to everyone else’s…” Lin Ze began, then briefly described the general situation of his world.
