Chapter 12

Guixu was so furious that he even blurted out the alias he used during his Terminal era.

[Guixu: Little Sakura, don't you worry! When the time comes, I will definitely go to your place and take care of that disgusting bastard!]

Sitting on her bed, Sakura saw Guixu's message and couldn't help crying tears of joy.

[Sakura: Really?! Thank you, Brother Guixu. But Sakura has nothing right now and has no way to repay Brother Guixu. If Brother Guixu doesn't mind, from now on Sakura will give herself to Brother Guixu! Sakura won't care even if she has to be a beast of burden for you!] [Stelle: Little Sakura...] [Daigo: .....] [Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: Little Sakura, you don't have to do that. If worst comes to worst, I, as the Group Owner, will cover for you first.]

Seeing Sakura's message, Zhuge Tiantian felt her heart ache for the little girl and hurriedly offered comfort. She wasn't familiar with Guixu at all, and Guixu hadn't appeared in Problem Children either. She had no idea what kind of personality Guixu had, and if Sakura ended up being bullied, she wouldn't be able to stop it.

[Sakura: It's alright, Sister Tiantian. Sakura has already made up her mind!] [Guixu: ......] [Guixu: There's no need for that. That old bastard is so sickening, actually doing such a thing to a child—anyone would extend a helping hand. However, although getting rid of that old bug is simple, what will you do afterward? Given your asshole father's style, he'll probably just send you away again.]

Sakura naturally understood her own situation. She also knew that Brother Guixu was completely right. That was why she had already thought it through.

[Sakura: Can Sakura follow Brother Guixu? Even though Sakura is young, Sakura is very good at taking care of people, and Sakura can wait on Brother Guixu! Sakura doesn't want to stay there anymore!]

Seeing Sakura's message, Guixu felt a bit troubled.

*Follow me, huh...* *I wonder if there is a safe method in this group for bringing someone across worlds?* *I don't have any issues myself anyway. Bringing along one child is no different from bringing two, and it just happens to give Klee a playmate her own age.*

After looking into Sakura's situation, Guixu didn't feel at ease leaving a helpless little child like her behind there. However, while Tohsaka Tokiomi's life or death didn't matter, Sakura's mother seemed to still truly love Sakura, so if he could save her when the time came, he might as well save her on the side. The little girl was already pitiful enough; there was no need to let her have even fewer of her few remaining family members.

[Guixu: I understand. We can discuss matters for afterward when I come to your place. If you really want to follow me, I don't have any objections either—it just so happens you can make friends with my daughter, Klee.] [Sakurs: Alright, Sakura understands.] [Madoka Daigo: !!] [Stelle: !!!] [Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: !!!??? Klee is your daughter? Bigshot, you actually captured Alice?!] [Lumine: !! Guixu, you have a daughter?!!] [Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: Yay! The other newcomer is popping up too!] [Lumine: Guixu! You... you actually have a daughter?!]

Guixu turned his head sideways, looking at Lumine, whose expression was a mix of confusion, shock, and a trace of sadness. He rubbed his nose and said, "Mm, she's a daughter born when Klee's mother used a wisp of my origin combined with her own elven bloodline. You could consider her my daughter, I suppose."

Guixu explained. Only then did Lumine let out a sigh of relief, returning to her calm expression as if the sadness from just a moment ago had been an illusion. "So that's how it is..."

Guixu also sent the explanation to the chat group, explaining it to everyone. Zhuge Tiantian also sent information about Genshin Impact and Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Earth, right? No—both the game and the anime—into the group.

For a moment, everyone in the group ran off to binge the shows. Even Guixu opened Problem Children Are Coming from Another World with great interest, wanting to see what the matter related to Little Garden was. ...

After a while, Guixu, who had finished watching the work first, had a rather ugly expression on his face. "It looks like something that happens in the future. How dare they shave off Hakugei's divinity?!" "How dare mere Buddhism lay a hand on Hakugei! They're truly courting death!" "Looks like I'll have to make a trip back when I have the chance in the future. I must never let Hakugei turn into that damned Yasha later on!"

Guixu secretly made a mental note against Buddhism.

[Guixu: By the way, this Group Owner Tiantian, could you introduce this chat group? This is my first time seeing something like this, so I don't quite understand it.]

Zhuge Tiantian, who had already watched Problem Children, saw the bigshot asking a question in the chat and hurriedly replied.

[Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: Bigshot, just call me Tiantian. Becoming the group owner was just a coincidence for me. As for introducing the chat group, of course that's no problem!] [Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: I used to live on Earth in a parallel world, but my luck was very bad. I contracted a terminal illness when I was very young, and after that, I stayed lying in a hospital. Countless treatments only managed to barely prolong my life, until I passed away at the age of twenty.] [However, after I died, I accidentally reincarnated with my memories into this world where spiritual energy was reviving. The chat group also opened when I was eight years old, but the newly opened chat group lacked energy, and I had to cultivate for eleven years to truly activate it. That's how we got the first batch of group members, and this first batch has only been in the group for a dozen days or so—not much earlier than you bigshots.]

Pouting her lips as she recalled the destiny of her past life, Zhuge Tiantian still felt a bit depressed. But thinking that it was precisely because she fell ill that she had enough time to watch anime and read novels, which was a huge help for her current situation, she felt somewhat relieved.

Guixu hadn't expected this group owner's past-life destiny to be so tragic either. He fell silent for a moment and said, [Guixu: Sorry...] [Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: Ah... Bigshot, you don't need to apologize. I got over it long ago. My life right now is actually pretty good; although there is a fierce beast crisis at all times, human factions aren't weak either. The parents I have in this life are also famous powerhouses among humans, so I don't need to worry about danger for the time being.] [As for the chat group, before you bigshots came, its functions were actually very few, because the chat group's functions require a certain number of group members and activity levels to unlock. Previously, the number of members wasn't enough, and there were only two simple modules: daily check-in and the mall. It was only after you bigshots arrived that the group unlocked the most crucial mission and exchange modules.] [You bigshots have no idea—the points from daily check-ins before were pitifully small, and we couldn't afford to buy anything. Apart from check-ins, there were temporarily no other channels to obtain points, and our days were miserable.]

Zhuge Tiantian complained a bit to Guixu. Previously, the chat group had only been initially open, and the maximum points obtained from a daily check-in were one hundred points. If they were lucky they could get a few dozen points, and if they were unlucky they could only get a dozen or even single-digit points. Meanwhile, a cross-world talisman cost one thousand points, and it was even one-way—you could go, but you couldn't come back. If you wanted to go back and forth, you had to buy two at a time. This was also why it was so difficult for them to help Sakura. Although they each had a certain foundation, the chat group hadn't opened the exchange system yet, so they couldn't exchange their own items for chat group points; no matter how good their possessions were, they couldn't trade them.

[Guixu: I see.]

Guixu opened the chat group panel and clicked on the newly opened mission panel. The panel was completely empty, without a single mission.

Guixu then opened the check-in and clicked the check-in button. A message immediately popped up on the chat group interface.

[Ding! Congratulations to group member Guixu for checking in and obtaining 190 points!]

"Isn't the maximum one hundred points?" Guixu looked at the 190 points in his points column with confusion, and then saw the update prompt on the check-in page: "Due to the increase in group members and higher chat group activity, the daily check-in points cap has been increased to 200 points."

The cap had increased? That was pretty nice.

Guixu looked with satisfaction at his 190 points—only 10 points shy of the cap, which meant his luck was quite good.

Shortly after, the group members who had been lurking and watching anime all began checking in one after another. Because of the addition of new members and the update of the check-in system, their check-in counts had all been refreshed once, allowing them to check in once more today.

[Ding! Congratulations to group member Daigo for checking in and obtaining 90 points!] [Ding! Congratulations to Group Owner Beautiful Girl Tiantian for checking in and obtaining 130 points!] [Ding! Congratulations to group member Lumine for checking in and obtaining 115 points!] [Ding! Congratulations to group member Fujimaru Ritsuka for checking in and obtaining 50 points!] [Ding! Congratulations to group member Sakura for checking in and obtaining 166 points!] [Ding! Congratulations to group member Stelle for checking in and obtaining 33 points!]

[Stelle: Ah! Why is it my lowest again! Damn it!]

Lying on her bed, Stelle rolled around stubbornly, her gray hair and the single white shirt on her body becoming a complete mess with her movements. Spring scenery filled the entire room, though no one could see this lovely sight. Originally, Stelle had wanted to sleep in the same room as March 7th, but after joining the chat group, she didn't want to expose the group's existence so quickly, so she ran back to sleep by herself. Previously, her check-in points were basically the lowest every day. Stelle thought silently: Could it be that she had rummaged through too many trash cans? That shouldn't be right; she hadn't even gone to Belobog yet, and she hadn't rummaged through that many trash cans, had she? ... [Chat Group -- Beautiful Girl Tiantian: Haha, as expected of you, Stelle! Still firmly holding onto the title of worst luck!] [Daigo: Isn't this the norm?] [Lumine: Wu, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail turn out to be games from the same source? Doesn't that mean Stelle is just like me—well, except for the luck part!]

Lumine put her hands on her hips with some pride; her check-in didn't have such terrible luck.

This cute yet somewhat mischievous look brought a smile to Guixu's face. [Stelle: ......]

In that instant, a world where only Stelle got hurt was achieved. ...

Guixu flipped through a few of the chat group's functions and finally opened the exchange interface. The exchange interface was very concise, featuring only a black-and-white money pouch logo.

Guixu casually picked a useless intermediate Gift Card from his collection and placed it up. A number appeared over the money pouch logo.

Seeing this, Guixu nodded. It seemed points weren't that hard to come by after all. A useless intermediate Animal Affinity could sell for 12,000 points.

Guixu clicked confirm and sold this Gift Card. Afterward, Guixu opened the mall, found the cross-world talisman, and clicked buy. Moreover, Guixu bought five of them right off the bat, keeping them as spares.
