Dragon King Sprays Water: "Enough about that, help me think of a solution here, fellow transmigrator!"Dragon King Sprays Water: "By the way, is there any way to quickly boost strength without side effects?"
Truth-Seeker: "You're asking for the moon."Truth-Seeker: "Sigh, fine. There are ways to rapidly increase power—question is, are you willing to take the risk?"
Wu Tong couldn't help but feel exasperated by the group owner's audacity, yet he still offered suggestions.
Truth-Seeker: "Currently, the group has only a few options for quick power-ups: Vision Gems, Herrscher Cores, Paths, Super Genes, Rider Belts, and the Naming System from Rimuru's world."Truth-Seeker: "Everything else requires long-term cultivation, which you clearly don't have time for given your situation."
As Wu Tong laid out the options, other members began chiming in.
Leisurely Stroll: "Visions can grant swift power, but they come with severe drawbacks. Contract forbids me from elaborating, but I don't recommend them."
Zhongli was the first to speak, though he notably didn't endorse his own world's power system, instead cautioning against it.
Crimson Phoenix Sage: "Same goes for Herrscher Cores. They're saturated with Honkai energy—and I assume the group owner knows full well what that entails."
Dragon King Sprays Water: "Crystal clear. Well, that crosses off two methods right away."
Passerby: "Make it three. All Rider belts have side effects—'enemy and ally share the same origin,' as they say."Passerby: "It's not too bad, but the problem is, the only belts I have on hand are from the Faiz series. Their backlash is... particularly harsh."
Dragon King Sprays Water: "Hard pass. I'd rather not turn into a beach guardian."
Gu Ruoyi shuddered at Decade's warning and immediately vetoed the idea.
Just then, March 7th joined the discussion.
Photographer: "If it's raw combat power you want, Paths can deliver quick results—but they're unique to our world."Photographer: "Unless you're willing to exchange points in the shop, you'd need to come here in person and attract a Aeon's gaze to walk a Path."
Dragon King Sprays Water: "Vetoed. I'm not stepping anywhere near entities at Aeon-level until I can defend myself."
Slime King: "That leaves our world's Naming System and the angels' genetic modification, then."Slime King: "You're familiar with both, so it's your call."
After a long silence, Gu Ruoyi's face lit up with resolve.
Dragon King Sprays Water: "Sister He Xi~ Help me, pleaaase? (＾▽＾)／"
As expected, she'd chosen the genetic enhancement from Angel Gene.
If pressed for a reason? Simple—who doesn't love angels?
Beautiful, mighty, righteous, kind... Every virtue embodied by the angels of Super God's universe.
And that wasn't even considering the power boost. The cosmetic benefits alone were enough to make Gu Ruoyi drool. After all, in Super God, not a single female gene warrior was anything less than stunning.
Truth-Seeker: "Angel Gene, huh? Saw that coming—but group owner, there's a catch."Truth-Seeker: "For most, genetic enhancement is a boon. For you? It could backfire spectacularly."
This wasn't hyperbole. Super Genes amplified every aspect of one's physiology—including the five senses and even the elusive sixth sense.
Sharper senses meant heightened perception... which, in turn, might awaken spiritual vision.
In most worlds, this would be advantageous. But Gu Ruoyi's reality was teeming with eldritch horrors and Old God incursions. Enhanced spiritual perception would only increase her vulnerability.
While eldritch creatures could be fought, facing an Old God without sufficient mental resistance—yet possessing acute spiritual senses—would drastically raise the risk of corruption.
The group quickly grasped Wu Tong's warning.
Photographer: "Group owner, maybe... just don't? It's way too dangerous."Crimson Phoenix Sage: "Agreed. The eldritch creatures are manageable, but those gods? Not something to trifle with."Leisurely Stroll: "If there's no urgency, why not wait for new members? A better solution might emerge."
Gu Ruoyi's eyes softened at their concern.
Dragon King Sprays Water: "Thanks, everyone. But I've thought this through."Dragon King Sprays Water: "Right now, I need immediate combat capability. Genetic enhancement is the fastest method with the least drawbacks."Dragon King Sprays Water: "The current crisis is just mutated flora/fauna—angel genes will suffice."Dragon King Sprays Water: "The real threats are years away. By then, the chat group might have answers."Dragon King Sprays Water: "Besides, worst-case scenario—I've got you all, right? (◕‿◕)"
Seeing her determination, the group relented.
She had a point. Several years in chat group time could bring dozens of new members—possibly even powerhouses capable of solving her dilemma. Their worry had blinded them to this obvious fact.
With the matter settled, Gu Ruoyi switched to a private chat with He Xi to negotiate terms.
Truth-Seeker: "Now that that's sorted—I've got a request too. Need your input."
Wu Tong then explained his search for teachers, hoping for suggestions.
Slime King: "Ah, so you're starting an academy?"Slime King: "That's... tricky. I'd help if I could, but..."Slime King: "I just pacified the Tempest Wolf Tribe and haven't established ties with other factions."Slime King: "The only 'teachers' I can offer are monsters—and they're probably not suited for your world."
Rimuru sounded genuinely apologetic.
Truth-Seeker: "No worries. Even humanoid monsters are fundamentally different species. A Title Douluo might sense it, and... well, conflicts would be messy."
Leisurely Stroll: "As for Liyue's education system... it's less developed than yours. Teachers are out of the question."
Crimson Phoenix Sage: "I can discuss with the Overseer. Some Valkyries nearing retirement might be willing to teach."Crimson Phoenix Sage: "Who knows? Your world's peculiar soul skills might even alleviate Honkai corruption."
Fu Hua's tone carried a hint of anticipation at the thought of Douluo's bizarre, rule-defying soul techniques.
