[Super Block Man] sent Red Packets to [Freezing Cold], [Boiling Alive], and [Starving Platform].
[Super Block Man]: "@Freezing Cold, your Red Packet contains the Zero Ring and the Klein Star. The Zero Ring grants you resistance to the cold and lets you manipulate ice and snow. Charge it with the Klein Star to enhance its power."
[Super Block Man]: "@Boiling Alive, yours includes the Ring of Ignition and a Klein Star. You'll be immune to heat and gain control over fire and lava. Charging it strengthens it too."
[Super Block Man]: "@Starving Platform, yours holds the Body Stone. It strengthens your body and ensures you never experience hunger."
[Super Block Man]: "Of course, those are just the basic functions. Any additional powers are up to you to explore."
[Freezing Cold] claimed [Super Block Man]'s Red Packet.
[Boiling Alive] claimed [Super Block Man]'s Red Packet.
[Starving Platform] claimed [Super Block Man]'s Red Packet.
[Freezing Cold]: "Holy crap! Thanks, boss! Do you need a sidekick?!"
[Boiling Alive]: "Equally shocked here! Big bro, I'm following your lead from now on! You say east, I go east!"
[Starving Platform]: "Boss, you're my second father! Whatever you need, just say the word—I'll go through fire and flames for you!"
[Super Block Man]: "No worries. We're all transmigrators of the Good alignment; helping each other is natural. If you ever need something, just ask."
[Boiling Alive]: "Boss is mighty!"
[Starving Platform]: "Boss is awesome!"
[Freezing Cold]: "Boss is forever the GOAT!"
[Freezing Cold]: "I was originally living weakly, pitifully, and helplessly in this world, but now that I have the Zero Ring, the entire Frozen Apocalypse world has become my playground. I can even try to save some people. "
[Boiling Alive]: "Same here. I finally reached a city. Looked up some info online—society hasn't totally collapsed yet, but daytime temperatures already exceed sixty degrees. News everywhere about people dying of heatstroke."
[Freezing Cold]: "@Starving Platform, how's it on your side? Any plans?"
[Starving Platform]: "Not really. I don't need food anymore, and nothing in the Platform can threaten me now with my enhanced body."
[Starving Platform]: "I'll wait and see if anyone steps up to restore order. If they do, I'll join them."
[Freezing Cold]: "@Super Block Man, what about you, boss? Any plans? Wanna come play in my world?"
[Super Block Man]: "Haha, sure! Once I finish building up my world a bit, I'll visit yours—maybe I can even fix your apocalypse while I'm there."
As the group chatted, a system notification suddenly rang.
[Ding... detected new member aligned with faction. Inviting... Invitation complete.]
Ding... Welcome [Dead Legs Run!] to the group.
[Dead Legs Run!]: "What's this? Am I hallucinating from exhaustion, or has Penguin expanded business to another world? Whatever it is—help! There are zombies!"
[Freezing Cold]: "@Dead Legs Run!, newbie, what world did you transmigrate to? What's going on now?"
[Dead Legs Run!]: "The chat says I'm in a zombie world. Help! I just saw zombies on the train! I'm a twenty-five-year-old homebody—I only go to work and lie flat at home. How am I supposed to survive this?"
[Super Block Man]: "How are you doing now? Are you in danger? Do you need support?"
[Dead Legs Run!]: "Temporarily safe. I've hidden inside the station! I'm with a group of people, one of whom is a burly man who looks just like the Korean God of War, Ma Dong-seok."
[Dead Legs Run!]: "Waaah… what is this place? It's been barely ten minutes since I transmigrated and I already ran into this! The train attendants just turned rabid and started biting people! It's too terrifying!"
[Freezing Cold]: "Wait—Ma Dong-seok? Zombies? Train? Isn't that Train to Busan?!"
[Dead Legs Run!]: "Train to Busan? The movie? I've heard of it but never watched it! I'm panicking hard right now! The station doesn't seem safe either!"
[Boiling Alive]: "Hold on—station? Don't tell me it's Daejeon Station! Run! Get back on the train! The station's full of zombies! Half of South Korea's gone by now—only the train's endpoint is safe!"
—One minute later—
[Boiling Alive]: "Huh? No reply? Did the newbie get taken out already?"
[Dead Legs Run!]: "Aaaah (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Help! Zombies are chasing me—Korean soldiers turned into zombies too! I need to move faster! Catch that train!"
[Freezing Cold]: "@Super Block Man, boss, hurry! Save them!"
[Super Block Man]: "Don't panic! Already preparing! @Dead Legs Run!, get ready—I'm coming!"
As soon as Ian realized the newbie was in danger, he began testing the transmigration function. Sending her a divine tool wouldn't help in time.
As for the Red Matter Armor and similar gear, Ian had already noticed when putting them on earlier—they required tremendous power to wear, otherwise the armor itself would crush the user.
As for why he could wear them? Please—he was Minecraft's Super Block Man! If the universe dropped (like an in-game item), he could pick it up as casually as you pick up a block stack...
With all that new power building up, he needed to vent a little. Might as well pay a quick visit to the zombie universe and give South Korea a stylish new haircut (splitting it in two).
Ian experimented briefly, selling a few items through the group chat and finding that the ratio between Points and EMC value was roughly 1:100. He exchanged hundreds of thousands of Points, then tapped to travel to the zombie movie universe.
[Ding... Travelling to Zombie Universe requires 1235908*@ Points.]
Ian blinked. "Huh? What's with the garbled text?"
"Is the group malfunctioning? Get out here and explain, damn it!"
[Ding... No malfunction detected. Administrator power level too high. Unable to transmigrate.]
"Eh? Power level too high? Don't tell me the energy stored in my Transmutation Tablet counted in my energy level… I could craft high-value items to reduce EMC, but that'd take forever!"
Just then, the Ultimate Transmutation Tablet came alive again.
[Detected extradimensional energy. New feature generating...]
[Ding... New feature complete.]
[New Feature: Interworld Portal. Travel to other worlds by consuming EMC to construct a permanent portal. Quantity varies by world.]
[Portals have no physical form. Option available to make the Portal observable by others.]
[New Feature: Collecting energy from different worlds may unlock corresponding mods.] (T/N:HOLLY…)
[Host demands detected. New feature generating...]
[Ding... New feature complete.]
[New Feature: EMC Storage Core. This core can merge into your current world, storing unlimited EMC within it. Deposit and withdraw with a single thought.]
Seeing these new messages, Ian's eyes welled with tears.
"My god-tier tablet, I love you! You're forever the true deity!"
Every time he faced trouble, the Ultimate Transmutation Tablet came through.
Of the three new features, the most important was the one that allowed unlocking mods by absorbing otherworldly energy—Ian had finally found a way to obtain new mods!
With that, infinite possibilities awaited him.
Once he got his hands on invincible mod artifacts, he'd head into the Void itself and see just what kind of nonsense lurked there.
