"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down. We'll have plenty of time to chat later. Don't forget the purpose of our gathering this time."
Seeing the chattering crowd, Lin Tian had no choice but to speak up. It was one thing for the newcomers to be curious, but why were the ones who had been here before also so surprised?
Take Xing and Lumine, for example. The two of them were practically glued to him, each hugging one of his legs, looking at him with pitiful expressions, demanding he give them a pickaxe to dig up some diamond blocks to take back.
"I'm telling you, I already said these diamond blocks are one cubic meter each. Are you really sure you can carry them?"
Looking at Xing's unfazed expression, Lin Tian remembered her strength.
"Fine, Xing, you really can carry it. Alright, as long as you can take it away, here, this is a pickaxe."
Lin Tian took out a diamond pickaxe and handed it to Xing, watching her approach the diamond blocks on the ground with a smile, her face slightly strained from the effort.
"Godfather! You forgot Lumine!"
Seeing her best friend get a pickaxe and happily go mining, Lumine felt extremely jealous. She was the first one to call Lin Tian 'Godfather', and now she was being surpassed by a newcomer!
More importantly! If she waited any longer, all those diamonds would be mined by Xing!
(Note: The diamond pig had wandered almost half the island while Lin Tian and the others were away, so there was nearly a full stack of diamond blocks beneath their feet.)
"What do you need diamonds for? Xing can exchange diamond blocks with Herta for credits. Although Teyvat doesn't have diamond blocks, how do you know you can sell them for a good price? And can you really carry a diamond block?"
"Hmph! Underestimating me, are you? I naturally have my own channels. Besides, with the boost from my points, my strength is already approaching Venti's level. The only one in all of Teyvat who can spar with me is Zhongli. Plus, I have the enhancement of a Stand. Mere diamond blocks are a piece of cake!"
Seeing Lumine's proud appearance, Lin Tian was also a bit surprised. Venti's strength was definitely not weak; it was possible that even Raiden Ei couldn't defeat him. For Lumine to dare say this now, it seemed her strength improvement was truly extraordinary!
"Alright, seeing as you called me Godfather, I'll agree this time."
With that, Lin Tian also handed Lumine a diamond pickaxe.
"Yay! Woohoo! With these diamonds, I won't have to worry about Paimon's food expenses for the rest of my life!"
Lumine raised the diamond pickaxe and happily ran off to dig for diamond blocks.
"Hey! What kind of talk is that! I don't eat that much, okay!"
Hearing what Lumine said, Paimon immediately retorted loudly.
However, looking at the sparkling diamond blocks on the ground, her eyes gradually turned into the shape of Mora.
"Hehehe, Paimon is here to help, Traveler! It'll be tough for you to carry it all alone. Let Paimon help you share the load!"
Watching the white flying creature slowly drift away, Lin Tian turned his gaze to the pink-haired fox that had jumped onto his shoulder.
"Looks like you've been abandoned, Miko."
"What are you talking about! What do you mean abandoned! I just don't want to do that kind of manual labor, okay!"
"Uh, whatever makes you happy."
With that, Lin Tian turned his gaze back to the crowd still waiting for him to speak.
"Uh, it's very simple. You just need to accept."
Being watched by so many people, Lin Tian still wasn't quite used to it. He waved his hand, sending an invitation to everyone present, and then quietly waited for the inevitable bombardment in his mind.
The moment Lin Tian waved his hand, a "Ding!" sound simultaneously rang in the minds of everyone who hadn't already joined.
The next second, a series of notifications requesting to join rang in Lin Tian's mind. Although he was prepared, he was still startled. However, he quickly approved all the requests in his mind, and a large number of "new member" messages suddenly popped up in the Pan-Dimensional Chat Group.
Because they were all just ordinary members, they were not allowed to modify their nicknames. Therefore, everyone entered the chat group using their real names.
[Nahida: Eh? So many people joined all of a sudden!]
[Buer: Welcome, everyone. This is "One Big Happy Family."]
(Note: The specific name of Greater Lord Kusanali is unknown, so Buer is used.)
[J.P. Polnareff: Wow! I never thought I, Polnareff, would one day join this kind of chat group. Really unexpected!]
[Hikari: Interesting. It displays my name directly? According to the scripts, shouldn't it have the "Ultraman" suffix added after it?]
[March 7th: So fun! It's like everyone really has become one family!]
[Yurikawa Hana: We'll have more friends in the future! I wonder if I'll also be able to see those creatures Miko sees?]
[Thanos: A family, you say...]
[Erina Nakiri: I don't know if I should point this out, but... everyone is clearly right here, so why is everyone talking in the group chat?]
[Liu Yueyan: Because Nahida and Buer aren't here.]
[Hellish Blizzard: The Group Master seems to be getting smarter and smarter. It's all thanks to our good teaching.]
[Liu Yueyan: What are you talking about! I've never been stupid, okay!]
[Tenma Gabriel White: Not stupid just means not smart either~]
[Shinobu Kocho: Alright, stop arguing. We're about to decide on the administrators for each world. Let's withdraw our consciousness for now. Sorry, Nahida and Buer.]
[Nahida: It's okay.]
[Buer: I only came online because I saw so many people joining suddenly.]
"Is everyone in the group? Then let's decide on the administrators. It shouldn't take too long. After all, each world only needs one or two people. Those who joined our Myriad Realms Chat Group directly will definitely have priority. If you feel you're not suitable, you can also choose someone to take your place."
"But if the person chosen isn't qualified, then you can't blame me."
