Bai Xuan had only chosen that seat because it was convenient; when his eyes got tired, he could look out at the greenery to relax them. In his previous life, being nearsighted, he paid a lot of attention to such things.
Other than that, he really had no other thoughts.
"Of course, that's just the recent trend in genius-type stories. Previously, the 'useless protagonist' trend was more popular. If we looked at Bai Xuan from that perspective, he'd be the main villain."
"So, everyone calm down. There are no real protagonists in the real world."
"When thinking about protagonists, think about the female lead first. Do you think there really exists a woman as perfect as in novels?"
"If there were, she'd already be famous."
Bai Xuan didn't believe in real-life protagonists; those were all things from novels. Reality is reality, and the "Dragon Group" he imagined was only based on possibilities.
After hearing Zhang Weiyang's words, everyone patted their faces to sober up. The pressures of senior year combined with awakening powers had indeed distorted their thinking.
In reality, there's no such thing as a protagonist—or rather, anyone could become one. Instead of indulging in fantasy, one should strive and fight.
Afterward, they discussed other matters, though they still occasionally used their powers—whether to practice or to perform for classmates at the windows, no one could tell.
Bai Xuan shrugged and started experimenting with his own abilities—or more precisely, the template the chat group had created for him.
[Name: Bai Xuan]
[Talent: Child of Nature — favored by the world, you possess the power to control nature; all natural creations are within your domain.]
[Elemental Resistance: You have 100% resistance to elemental attacks; no elemental attack can harm you.]
[Nature Boost: Your power grows stronger under sunny, rainy, night, dawn, or stormy conditions.]
[Elemental Control: You can freely manipulate the elements present in nature.]
[Note: Possessing the authority of nature, and favored by the consciousness of the Earth, you possess incredible power; in special circumstances, you can abandon materialism and choose idealism.]
[Note: To some extent, you are no different from Reinhard in the 'Start from Zero' world.]
Could he understand it? Not really. Bai Xuan could comprehend the talent and abilities, but the notes were utterly confusing.
What did it mean to abandon materialism and choose idealism in special circumstances? Explain what those circumstances are and how to choose idealism!
Bai Xuan muttered to himself in his heart, but the second note was interesting: it said he was no different from Reinhard. That guy had dozens of blessings and could even generate new ones afterward—how could Bai Xuan compare?
The author clearly treated Reinhard like a god.
While Bai Xuan waited for registration and studied the chat group's notes, the chat group suddenly spoke:
"Ding. Activity level of the chat group has reached Level 1. Group functions activated."
"Ding. Group check-in function activated. Group lottery function activated. Group pawn function activated."
Huh? The activity level is full? That fast? He had only joined the group a day ago.
Apparently, previous activity had accumulated, just enough to reach Level 1.
With some anticipation, Bai Xuan opened the introduction for the three functions:
[Group Check-In Function: Daily check-ins earn 1–10 points. Points can be used in the group lottery.]
[Group Lottery Function: Items are drawn randomly from all items in the group members' worlds. Each draw consumes 1,000 points.]
[Group Pawn Function: Permanent or temporary pawning, each with different value and points gained.]
[Note: When pawning intelligent beings, they must not resist the consciousness.]
[Note: Temporary pawned items not redeemed within the time limit automatically enter the group lottery pool.]
Ordinary group owner: "Wow, I thought you needed ten members to unlock new features. Turns out activity level is enough."
Ordinary group owner: "Why not say it earlier? I would have spammed every day if I knew."
Su Yunqing pursed her lips. This chat group was very different from the one in her previous life.
It wasn't very considerate; nothing was communicated to the group owner. She had no abilities other than a 30% discount.
Wait—can this discount be used in the lottery? And why isn't the group store function activated this time?
"Ding. Detected group owner's doubt. The discount can be used in the group lottery function."
"That's more like it."
Jiu Zhe Meow: "Lottery? Meow… my luck isn't great."
After reviewing memory copies, it honestly felt unlucky.
Most Evil Spirit: "We don't even have points. Is it too early to consider the lottery?"
Child of Nature: "I see I have one chance. Do you?"
Be My Son: "Kulala, I also have one chance."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Member benefits? Perfect! Life or death depends on this draw!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Heaven, please give me a phantom beast-type devil fruit. I don't ask much, Kaido's Azure Dragon will do."
Cook Da Gu Into Soup: "That's not 'not much'—phantom beast fruits are so precious."
Cook Da Gu Into Soup: "I want a nature-type Shining Fruit. It would be perfect with my Ultraman Tiga!"
Most Evil Spirit: "Speaking of Tiga, hasn't your story started yet?"
Tokisaki Kurumi asked curiously. She was interested in Da Gu's world; Ultraman's power let her understand the strength of the light giants.
Even if she were the first elf, she would still be somewhat inferior.
She also knew she had no chance of becoming light.
Cook Da Gu Into Soup: "Not yet."
For Da Gu, if things stayed peaceful, that would be fine—no Tiga, no monsters, everything was beautiful. Even without Tiga's power, what did it matter?
Uchiha Dance King: "Hmph. Ultraman's power is strong, but ultimately it's external."
Uchiha Dance King: "It only lasts three minutes—better not have it."
Uchiha Dance King: "Compared to Ultraman's power, you should focus on yourself. Rough fighting skills and weak physique make you weak even with great power."
Cook Da Gu Into Soup: "Stop scolding, stop scolding. I'm already changing."
Cook Da Gu Into Soup: "I've been working out and practicing combat, won't be like in the memory copy."
Uchiha Dance King: "Hope so."
