[Lu Linglong]: @Su Xiaoqi, so are you a Saiyan?**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Oi oi oi! Gin-san explained all that and *you're asking that brat* if he's a Saiyan?! If he's a Saiyan, Gin-san will do a handstand and diarrhea himself!**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: I think I still count as a human from Earth.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: See?! Planet Vegeta was wiped out by Lord Frieza. The only surviving Saiyans are Kakarot and Vegeta!**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: Well… I've got Saiyan blood in me. As for how I got it—*golden finger*, you know how it goes.**
**\[Lu Linglong]: Ah, I see.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: *NANI?!* How can you have Saiyan blood?! Wait wait wait—what the heck is a *golden finger*?! Too many things to roast here, Gin-san doesn't even know where to begin!**
**\[Lu Linglong]: You can think of it like a cheat code or a game mod. Understand now?**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: You mean like how Gin-san can never land a headshot in games, but others always headshot me?**
**\[Lu Linglong]: Uh… yeah, that's close enough.**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: Gin-san, maybe—just maybe—it's because you suck at games? *SneakyLaugh.jpg***
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Don't underestimate Gin-san's gaming skills, you brat!**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Ugh, dammit! Gin-san wants a *golden finger* too!**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: Gin-san, haven't you realized—you already have one?**
**\[Lu Linglong]: Exactly! This chat group *is* our golden finger! We can trade techniques and skills from our own worlds, earn points, and use those for raffles. Eventually, we'll all become super strong.**
> **System Prompt**: *Sakata Gintoki has uploaded a Lake Toya wooden sword and received 1 point (10% transaction fee deducted).*
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: WHAT THE—?! Only 1 point?! Wait, I only got 0.9 points after fees?! That's Gin-san's beloved sword!**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: *LOL*, c'mon, you know exactly where that sword came from. The 1-point price is probably just pity for the fact that you've used it.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Gin-san wants to buy a Devil Fruit! Gin-san wants to learn Kamehameha!**
**\[Lu Linglong]: Are those really that powerful?**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: Devil Fruits are from the *One Piece* world. Eating one gives an ordinary person superhuman powers. But there are downsides. That world also has other powerful abilities. You'll understand once you start watching *One Piece*.**
**\[Lu Linglong]: So Nami's world is that strong, huh? What about the others in the group?**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Gin-san's world is totally normal. Just an average ol' place.**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: You sure about that? If we're talking "normal," my world and Hanamichi Sakuragi's are the only truly ordinary ones.**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: Out of all of us, Nami's world has the highest overall power level. If any of you ran into a Marine Admiral or Yonko-level character without knowing their weaknesses, they could wipe out your whole world easily.**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: As for who's stronger between your worlds and Zhu Zhuqing's—that's hard to compare. I suggest watching the anime from those worlds yourselves.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: No matter how strong they are, they're no match for you Saiyans. Gin-san's decided: I'm sticking with you from now on, Su Xiaoqi.**
**\[Su Xiaoqi]: Uh… I'm still just battle-power trash, though.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Doesn't matter! From the moment Gin-san saw you, I knew you were chosen by fate!**
**\[Lu Linglong]: When did you *see* him, exactly?**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: It's a *metaphor*, okay?! Geez, woman, you're too mean.**
**\[Lu Linglong]: Hahaha, Gin-san, you're hilarious.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: Oi oi oi, Gin-san's not just here to be laughed at.
But hey… I *wouldn't mind* playing some adult games with you…**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing]: Disgusting.**
**\[Sakata Gintoki]: What's your deal, missy? Every time Gin-san and Xiaoqi talk a little dirty, you pop up just to scold us. Gin-san has feelings too, y'know!**
Su Xiaoqi's face darkened as he stared at Gintoki's messages. He couldn't shake the feeling that Gintoki was taking liberties with how he referred to him—but he had no proof.
Still, he had picked up on something.
**Zhu Zhuqing had clearly been lurking all along.**
She only spoke up whenever the topic turned toward things she didn't like.

**\[Lu Linglong]: @Zhu Zhuqing, from the way you talk, you seem to hate men. Can I ask how old you are?**

**In the world of *Douluo Dalu*…**
Zhu Zhuqing lay on her bed, **desperate to know her own future**.
From Su Xiaoqi's earlier messages, she had learned that each of their worlds was adapted into an anime. Through the chat group's "Qiyi-like app," she found one called *Douluo Dalu*. Since it shared the name of her continent, she guessed it must be connected.
Taking a chance, she spent 1 point to watch episode 1.
At first, she thought she'd guessed wrong—the setting was completely unfamiliar, showing a boy named Tang San stealing from a sect.
Zhu Zhuqing despised thieves. Just as she was about to exit the app, the screen shifted.
Suddenly, the *real* Douluo Continent appeared.
Intrigued, she started fast-forwarding through episodes, looking for any scenes involving herself—or the person she had run away to find.
Eventually, when the story reached **Soto City**, she saw what she was looking for.
But—as the saying goes: *the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.*
She had heard rumors and mentally prepared herself, but watching **Dai Mubai walk into a hotel with twin sisters in his arms** still made her blood boil.
> "So… what *is* my ending?"
With that question in her heart, Zhu Zhuqing forced herself to keep watching.
When the group reached the **Star Dou Forest** and encountered the Titan Giant Ape—**her points ran out**.
Now she was *really* panicking.
She had already used today's free check-in points. If she wanted to watch more, she'd have to wait until tomorrow… or trade something from her world for more points.
But what did she have? She had fled from the **Star Luo Empire** with almost nothing.
Then she thought of someone in the group—**the man who might already know her fate**.

**\[Zhu Zhuqing]: @Su Xiaoqi, do you know my future? I can trade you something for that information.**
