There is no medicine for regret in this world, and Ye Wuchen couldn’t keep Gu Yuan either.
As for whether the so-called "Trash Trio" of Group Two were truly useless, the new group leader Chen Yi would be the judge.
All Ye Wuchen needed to do was honestly fulfill the transaction.
"Senior, perhaps I was blind, failing to recognize the worth of these founding members of the group. I suppressed them for so long, only for them to finally shed their shackles and reveal their brilliance now... Well, no matter. I can only hope they continue to shine under your guidance. I... I’ve wronged them."
Ye Wuchen’s expression was desolate as he lowered his head, refusing to look at the triumphant Gu Yuan. Instead, he silently packaged the three group members and uploaded them to the public zone.
[‘Hermit Cultivator’ (Personal Peak Rank 31, Esteemed Leader of Group Two) initiated a member transfer to ‘Damn Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me’ (Leader of Group 108).]
[Approval granted!]
[Please pay three points to complete the transaction.]
[Payment successful!]
From then on, Group Two lost three "trash," while Group 108 gained three "powerhouses"!
"Alright, Senior. Is there anything else you need me to do?"
After the transaction, Ye Wuchen felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, desperate to leave this place of sorrow.
But unfortunately, he couldn’t leave just because he wanted to. Without the approval of the man before him, attempting to open a return portal would likely earn him another strike from that halberd.
Yet Chen Yi remained silent, stepping forward instead to pat Ye Wuchen’s shoulder amiably. "I feel a bit guilty taking so much from you. Here, take this multicolored bead necklace—it’ll protect you in critical moments!"
"Let me put it on for you."
With that, he produced a necklace strung with nine radiant beads and fastened it around Ye Wuchen’s neck with a warm smile.
Nearby, Gu Yuan, who was meditating to consolidate his cultivation, couldn’t help but mourn silently for his former leader for three seconds.
He knew this type of necklace all too well—the kind that could summon overpowered clones. Frankly speaking, he’d once worn one himself, except his had eighteen beads, twice as many as Ye Wuchen’s!
Of course, as the first to cross this bridge, Gu Yuan understood the truth behind the necklace and regarded it with reverence.
But Ye Wuchen didn’t know. This was the first time someone had ever placed a necklace on him, and an inexplicable shudder ran through his heart.
Senior… isn’t this a bit too intimate?
This necklace might look ordinary, but it seems to contain a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth… Is this really meant to protect me?
This gift is too heavy—I don’t deserve it. Can I refuse?
Senior, please… just let me go…
Though Ye Wuchen didn’t know the necklace’s true purpose, he was certain it was trouble—most likely a means for Chen Yi to control him.
But could he refuse?
Seeing the unyielding look in Chen Yi’s eyes, Ye Wuchen inwardly wailed before forcing an awkward smile. "Senior, you’re too kind. Thank you!"
Chen Yi waved his hand. "No need for words. Go back now."
"O...kay..."
Ye Wuchen dragged out his reply, as if expressing reluctance or lamenting his helplessness.
In the end, he dejectedly opened the return portal and, under Chen Yi’s watchful gaze, departed with an unremarkable nine-bead necklace around his neck.
Witnessing it all, Gu Yuan shook his head. He could empathize with his former leader’s feelings. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. If something really happens, our group leader will handle it. But if nothing happens… well, our leader might be a bit harder to explain.
Still, he couldn’t be bothered to dwell on what awaited Ye Wuchen. They were no longer connected—his focus now was on his new home!
Back in Group Two, he’d been known as the leader of the Trash Trio. But now, in Group 108…
Holy shit?!
How did I become the group leader?!
[Transdimensional Travelers’ Mutual Aid Group – Group 108]
[Group Leader has invited ‘Just a Little Hardship’ to join the chat.]
[Group Leader has invited ‘Crow Takes Flight’ to join the chat.]
[Group Leader has invited ‘Withered Leaf Leaves the Wind’ to join the chat.]
[Group System: Ding! Detected that ‘Just a Little Hardship’ possesses the highest combat power in the group. Automatically promoted to Group Leader.]
[Current Group Leader: Just a Little Hardship (Half-Step True Immortal, Combat Power: 1.99 Billion)]
[I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: ???]
[Runner-up in the Immortal Cultivation World: ???]
[The God of Light is Unemployed: ???]
[...]
The chat flooded with question marks as all the veteran members were left stunned.
[Withered Leaf Leaves the Wind (Qin Sheng): Holy crap, Yuan! How the hell do you have 1.99 billion combat power?!]
[Crow Takes Flight (Liu Bo): Bro, what the hell?! We agreed to slack off together, and you secretly grind behind my back?! Face me!]
Gu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat—not because of his old friends’ accusations, but because the "former Group 108 leader’s" clone stood right before him, wearing a smirk that radiated overwhelming pressure.
"Uh, bro… you know me. I—I’ll cripple my cultivation right now!"
Terrified, Gu Yuan immediately prepared to take drastic measures against himself.
"No need." Chen Yi stopped him, speaking calmly. "While my account is restricted, you’ll temporarily manage the chat group for me. Any objections?"
Gu Yuan froze, then solemnly replied, "I swear not to fail your trust!"
Chen Yi smiled faintly.
Talking to smart people is so easy.
He won’t ask why—he’ll just do what’s asked of him.
As for whether he’d dare harbor rebellious thoughts…
No need to worry. As long as my clone remains, he wouldn’t dare!
With peace of mind, Chen Yi relinquished his position as group leader, intending to study the chat group as an ordinary member.
And coincidentally, due to some rule violations, most of his account functions were restricted. Now, in Group 108, he was practically invisible—the monitoring system wouldn’t pay him any extra attention!
Tsk tsk tsk… With timing, advantage, and manpower all aligned, how could a rigid system like this resist me?
Once I find your loopholes, I’ll reshape you however I please!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
