"Holy crap, where the hell am I? Is this still back home?"
Staring at the bustling, neon-lit street in front of him, Mo Yucheng was completely dumbfounded.
Just a second ago, he had been at home watching anime. How did he suddenly end up here?
And taking a closer look—every single shop sign on the street was written in Japanese!
"Wait… don't tell me I've transmigrated?"
"But I wasn't hit by a truck, didn't get electrocuted, and didn't suddenly keel over. So how the hell did I transmigrate out of nowhere?"
Just as Mo Yucheng was trying to figure out what to do next, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Host detected. Abstract System successfully bound!]
"System bro?!" Mo Yucheng's face lit up with joy.
Sure enough, novels never lied—every transmigrator gets a system!
[Present.]
"Quick, tell me what you can do!"
Being a veteran bookworm who had read more novels than he could count, Mo Yucheng accepted his new reality without much struggle.
After all, he had no family left in his old world anyway. Transmigration was transmigration.
[This system is called the Abstract System. As long as the host does something excessively abstract, you will earn Abstract Points.]
[Abstract Points can be spent in a lottery. The lottery has four tiers: 100 points for Low-tier, 1,000 for Mid-tier, 10,000 for High-tier, and 100,000 for Abstract-tier.]
[The prizes in the lottery cover all possibilities. If you can imagine it, I can pull it out!]
Do abstract things?
What, like… strolling around naked under the moon?
That was a bit much, even for him.
As Mo Yucheng was wondering whether he should take off his pants and let his "little buddy" greet the world, the system's voice rang out again.
[Ding! Newbie gift pack detected. Open it now?]
"Open it, of course!"
Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the sacred newbie gift pack!
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained the skill: 100% Empty-Handed sword Catch!]
[Description: Swing your sword while silently activating the ability. Your enemy will be forced to catch your sword with their bare hands. Duration: 10 seconds. Ignores all power gaps.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained the skill: You Came Here to Take a Dump, Didn't You?]
[Description: Shout the line, and within a hundred-meter radius, everyone—including allies—will immediately get diarrhea. Use with extreme caution.]
"…What the actual hell, these abilities are way too abstract!"
But at that moment, Mo Yucheng suddenly understood how Abstract Points were earned.
It wasn't about him acting abstract—it was about making others act abstract!
The corners of his mouth curled up into a sunny smile.
"He he he…"
[Reminder: The stronger the target on whom you use your abstract ability, the more Abstract Points you will earn.]
"I see…"
Mo Yucheng glanced at the bustling, crowded street. His smile grew even wider.
Just as he was about to test his powers on some random passersby, another voice popped up in his head.
[Dimensional Chat Group has sent you an invitation. Accept?]
"What the—! I don't just have one cheat, I've got two?!" Mo Yucheng was shocked and overjoyed.
A Dimensional Chat Group! He knew this trope all too well!
These days, how dare you call yourself a transmigrator without at least one cheat?
And he had two!
"Accept! Of course I'll accept!"
Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the Dimensional Chat Group!
[Ding! Mo Yucheng has joined the Dimensional Chat Group. Everyone, please give a warm welcome!]
[Ding! Kiana has joined the Dimensional Chat Group. Everyone, please give a warm welcome!]
[Ding! Shinobu Kocho has joined the Dimensional Chat Group. Everyone, please give a warm welcome!]
Almost instantly, three notifications rang in his head.
[Lumine: Ohhh, half a month later and we've got new members again. Welcome, welcome.]
[Stelle: Newbie, post a selfie!]
[Rina: Welcome, welcome! If you're confused, check the group announcement. By the way, everything written there is true.]
Holy crap. Clicking on the avatars, Mo Yucheng realized he recognized every single member.
Counting himself and the two new arrivals, there were only six members in total.
And four of them were protagonists from Mihoyo games!
Lumine, the Traveler from Genshin Impact.
Stelle, the Astral Express' star core gremlin from Honkai: Star Rail.
Rina, the little sister from Zenless Zone Zero.
Kiana, the bug from Honkai Impact 3rd, future Herrscher of the End.
This chat group… it had literally poked a hole in Mihoyo's nest!
[Mo Yucheng: Ahem, hello everyone. I am Mo Yucheng. Please take care of me.]
Yep, first impressions matter. A proper self-introduction never hurt.
[Lumine: Oh? This newbie started talking right away. Looks like he adapts fast.]
[Mo Yucheng: Not really. It's just that joining a Dimensional Chat Group isn't something that surprises me all that much.]
[Rina: Could it be that you've seen stranger things before?]
[Mo Yucheng: Well, I was eating hotpot at home and singing karaoke, and then I suddenly transmigrated to a foreign world. Does that count?]
[Stelle: …Transmigration? Damn, that's badass!]
[Mo Yucheng: Of course it is.]
[Kiana: Wait, so the announcement that said we're all from different worlds… is that really true?]
At last, the other newbie, Kiana, spoke up.
[Rina: It's all true.]
[Shinobu Kocho: Proof?]
The final newbie also spoke.
Compared to Mo Yucheng and Kiana, Shinobu was clearly far more cautious.
Mo Yucheng didn't need to guess—she probably thought the chat group was some kind of Blood Demon Art.
[Ding! Lumine has sent Shinobu a personal red envelope x1]
[Lumine: Here's your proof. I'm pretty sure this doesn't exist in your world.]
Demon Slayer's world.
Sword at the ready, Shinobu cautiously accepted Lumine's red envelope.
A green crystal butterfly appeared before her in a flash of light.
After confirming it wasn't dangerous, she immediately trapped it under her haori.
[Shinobu Kocho: …I believe you now.]
[Rina: Lumine, what did you send her?]
[Lumine: Just a Crystal Butterfly.]
[Rina: Ah, that makes sense.]
She'd seen them before. In Lumine's world, they were a type of elemental lifeform—common, yet unique.
[Lumine: And what about the other two newbies? Do you want proof as well?]
[Mo Yucheng: No need.]
[Kiana: Same here.]
[Stelle: I don't believe it! Send me 50 credits as proof!]
Heh. Typical little gremlin.
[Rina: Stop messing around. You're not a newbie.]
Meanwhile, Mo Yucheng had already shifted his attention to the group's function panel.
As expected, it had the basics: chatting, daily sign-in, red envelopes, file uploads, and most importantly—the shop.
Opening the shop, he found only two items.
A Temporary Travel Talisman, priced at 100 points.
Using it allowed you to travel to any member's world for up to 24 hours.
The other was a Permanent Travel Talisman.
Same function, but with no time limit.
The cost? A staggering 10,000 points!
"Chat Group, I want to sign in."
Closing the shop, Mo Yucheng completed his daily sign-in.
[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, you've received 95 points.]
Ninety-five points?
Was that a lot or a little?
Might as well ask.
[Mo Yucheng: Just signed in and got 95 points. Newbie question—is that good?]
[Lumine: Average. (Attached screenshot: 159 points)]
[Stelle: JEALOUSY MAKES YOU UGLY!]
[Rina: Daily sign-in caps at 300. The current record holder is Lumine with 210 last week. The lowest record holder is Stelle with 3.]
[Stelle: …We could've been friends if you hadn't brought that up.]
