Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 125 The System-Driven Protagonist in the Marvel Universe
That's right, let me reintroduce myself: Lin Lie, male, 21 years old, a transmigrator from the Marvel universe, and a protagonist in a system-based storyline!
Like many protagonists in system-based novels, Lin Lie's transmigration was an extremely bizarre accident.

At the time, he was playing a popular online game when, for some reason, thunderclouds suddenly gathered in the sky outside the window, and a bright bolt of lightning struck him directly through the window, hitting Lin Lie in front of the computer.

Thus, Lin Lie's past life came to an abrupt end, and his consciousness, after a period of darkness, inexplicably transmigrated to the Marvel universe.

Of course, at that time he did not know that this was the Marvel world. He only knew that he was born into a local, highly educated family in Shanghai, and became known as "Master Hu" on the internet in his previous life.

With the calendar showing the timeline back to the 1990s, Lin Lie thought he had been reborn and didn't even consider whether there was anything wrong with this world.

For this reason, Lin Lie's second life was quite successful in its first sixteen years.

With his foresight, he achieved great success in both academics and business. He not only cultivated a persona of a top student for himself, but also encouraged his mother to register a company, starting with the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) business, thus catching up with the wave of the information age.

To put it simply, if his life before the age of seventeen were written into a book, the title would probably be "Rebirth: I Just Want to Be a Rich Second Generation".

But when he turned seventeen, his nascent career as the male protagonist of urban web novels suddenly came to an end...

The reason is simple: that year was 2008, when Tony Stark escaped death from a cave and publicly announced to the world's media – I am Iron Man!
At that time, the Chinese internet was not as closely connected with the external internet.

Lin Lie had never paid attention to the situation abroad before, so he was unaware of the existence of Stark Industries.

Until that day, the whole world was reporting on Iron Man and his armor, and all kinds of news spread like wildfire.

Lin Lie stared blankly at the handsome and dashing face on the television screen, finally realizing his true identity in this world—

I've actually traveled to the Marvel universe?

Lin Lie felt a sense of confusion.

Just when he thought the news was explosive enough, reality slapped him hard across the face, telling him that this was nothing compared to what he had just experienced!
And this resounding slap came from his mysterious father.

His father is an archaeology professor at Fudan University. His salary is unknown, his job is a mystery, and he often goes on business trips for half a year at a time, and is the kind of person who cannot be contacted at all.

To be honest, if Lin Lie hadn't helped his mother start her business and found her some work, given their personalities, they probably wouldn't have lasted until Lin Lie came of age before they started arguing about getting a divorce.

Getting back to the main point, before discovering that this was the Marvel universe, Lin Lie was quite dissatisfied with his father in this life.

But after Iron Man was born, he suddenly realized that his father might really have some unspeakable difficulties.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Lin Lie was thinking this, his father, who had been away on a business trip for half a year, suddenly returned and handed him an antique bronze sword wrapped in layers of bandages. He solemnly instructed him to take good care of it before leaving in a hurry.

Lin Lie was completely baffled by his father's series of strange behaviors.

He hesitated for a long time before carefully untying the bandages on the sword. The moment he grasped the hilt, the bronze blade suddenly emitted a blue light and transformed into a jade-like material!
Not only that, the system that had been dormant in his mind for a long time was finally activated, prompting him that he possessed a inherited weapon—the Fuxi Sword!

In the Marvel universe, there's the Fuxi Sword, and this system that requires touching a special weapon to activate...

The successive shocks stirred up a storm in Lin Lie's heart, which he could not calm down for a long time.

After calming down, he organized his thoughts and began to study these things.

First, there's the system. This thing comes from the game he was playing before he transmigrated, and it's bound to a class called Sword Soul in the game.

That's right, it's the Sword Master from Dungeon Fighter Online!
After obtaining the inherited weapon [Fuxi Sword], the Sword Master class was fully activated, rewarding him with many passive talents and a complete set of Ghost Swordsman's initial skills!
For example, [Demon Slash], [Uppercut], [Mountain Crushing Strike]...

There are also [Katana Mastery], [Short Sword Mastery], [Greatsword Mastery], and so on.

The former enabled him to master many powerful attack skills, while the latter instilled in him a wealth of knowledge, transforming him from an ordinary high school student into a true weapons master.

As a veteran DNF player, Lin Lie was naturally familiar with this class template.

He adapted to the system at an extremely fast pace, and then turned his attention to the inherited weapon.

According to the item panel that popped up by the system, the full name of this inherited weapon is the [Three Sovereigns Fuxi Sword], a divine artifact passed down from Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns...

Lin Lie carefully read the background story in the item description and found that the content was extremely detailed. It was obviously not made up by the system, but rather something that actually existed in this world.

In addition, there are indeed many Eastern heroes in the Marvel universe, and Lin Lie immediately realized that his identity in this life was definitely not simple, at least he was a character with a name and a surname!

Indeed, this is true. His predecessor was the future superhero known as the 'Sword God,' possessing the prestigious titles of Master of the Fuxi Sword and the 67th Iron Fist.

Lin Lie didn't know the story of his predecessor, but he knew very well that very few of the well-known characters in Marvel had both parents.

His father suddenly threw him a legacy weapon that could activate the system, then hurriedly left and mysteriously disappeared.

The flags were practically turned into hedgehogs from being planted so many times; how could he possibly sit still?!

Without hesitation, Lin Lie decisively picked up the Fuxi Sword and followed his father's trail all the way. Finally, he found his father in a deep mountain forest called Qianfenggou and rescued him from the clutches of a twisted flesh monster.

This was the first time he used the system's skills, and it marked the beginning of his journey as a system-driven protagonist.

As for the identity of the flesh-and-blood monster and the reasons behind it, we will leave that aside for now.

In short, from then on, Lin Lie, with the Fuxi Sword and the Sword Soul System, became a hidden superhero in the East.

Over the past four years, he has resolved major events, including the resurgence of Chi You, made many friends of his kind, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He has mastered sword soul exclusive skills such as the Reverse Ghost Sword Technique.

Now, in April 2012, Lin Lie has come for the Battle of New York and the Infinity Stones.

Before the plot even started, he encountered a second cheat code—the Multiverse Chat Group!

Look, what does it mean to be the protagonist?

That's what you call a protagonist!

Lin Lie suppressed his excitement and downloaded a lot of interesting information from the group files. While the other group members were instructing Li Shimin, he began to read it from the beginning. Soon after, with the help of the group members, Li Shimin finally understood the various basic operations of the chat group.

[Li Shimin: Thank you all, esteemed immortals, for sharing your knowledge so generously!]

[Li Shimin: I... I have finally mastered how to use this magical artifact!]

[Su Haoming: [Relieved expression] I've finally learned it...]

[Fan Xian: Have you really learned it?]

[Fan Xian: Did you forget to delete the character "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor")?]

Upon seeing the message pop up in the chat box, the usually arrogant Li Erfeng couldn't help but blush.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, he was the first emperor in history to usher in the prosperous reign of Zhenguan. Now, he has traveled to the Three Kingdoms period and become the last emperor of Shu Han. He is like a god descending to earth and single-handedly turned the tide of the last Northern Expedition.

Yet, even with all this, he was like a toddler learning to speak, needing help from others to master the use of chat groups, which truly made him feel quite ashamed.

Of course, this is just Li Shimin's own opinion.

In fact, he learns very quickly; while he may not be able to apply what he's learned to other situations, he at least grasps things quickly...

[Li Shimin: I was overwhelmed with emotion and made a mistake. I hope Master Fan will forgive me!]

[Su Haoming: Teacher Fan?]

[Li Shimin: His act of imparting the law naturally qualifies him as a model teacher.]

[Li Shimin: The same applies to Master Su, Master Lin, and Master He.]

[Su Haoming: Ah, this...]

[Su Haoming: Then I, Su, will be ashamed to accept your offer!]

Fan Xian, Lin Yu, and He Jingfeng: ...

[Fan Xian: @Li Shimin, are there any other questions?]

Li Shimin: Yes.

[Li Shimin: According to Master Su, I and all of you immortal masters are from different worlds.]

[Li Shimin: Could this be the three thousand worlds mentioned by the eminent Eastern Jin monk Kumarajiva in his "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra"?]

[Fan Xian: Almost.]

Lin Yu: It's about the same, but only about the same.

[Lin Yu: Strictly speaking, the Buddhist concept of the three thousand worlds only applies to a specific multiverse and is not used to describe the entire universe.]

[Lin Yu: In terms you can understand, the Three Thousand Worlds are the various states within the territory of China.]

[Lin Yu: The true myriad realms are China and the surrounding myriad nations.]

[Li Shimin: I see!]

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.

Judging from this, the immortals in the chat group are not real immortals; they just come from different worlds and therefore possess many incredible abilities in his eyes.

Just then, Yun Ye, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but send a message.

[Yun Ye: Kumarajiva, a prominent monk of the Eastern Jin Dynasty...]

[Yun Ye: You really are Li Shimin himself!]

[Yun Ye: What happened to the chat group for transmigrators?]

Lin Lie: Oh?

Lin Lie, who had just switched back to the group chat, suddenly lit up and couldn't help but ask, "So, all of you seniors are time travelers?"

【Su Haoming: Of course! 】

[Su Haoming: You even know about penguins? Haven't you heard of @Yunye and @Fanxian?]

Lin Lie: Actually, no...

[Lin Lie: Coincidentally, I'm also a transmigrator!]

[Li Shimin: Are so-called time travelers simply people who travel to different worlds?]

【Su Haoming: That’s right!】

[Lin Yu: Different times also count.]

[Yun Ye & Fan Xian: +1]

[Li Shimin: I see.]

[Li Shimin: Then I am also a time traveler!]
