Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 175 They're falling for this!

Upon realizing this, Ainz was filled with doubt and turmoil, his heart churning with emotions that he could not calm down for a long time.

After a moment, he regained his composure and realized something else—

Why was this administrator named Lin Yu able to pinpoint the changes in him so precisely?
After a moment's thought, Ainz sent a message: "How did you know?"

[Lin Yu: So you didn't show up?]

[Ainz: Yes.]

Seeing Ainz admit it, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile with 'I knew it'.

From the moment Whitebeard and the Ancient One were unable to eavesdrop on the chat group's content, he realized that the chat group itself possessed extremely strong mental protection capabilities.

All members who officially join the chat group are generally immune to psychological and spiritual influences.

Ainz's "Forced Calm" was clearly also included in the protection scope of the chat group.

Lin Yu explained the capabilities of the chat group and his own speculations.

After reading it, Ainz couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

[Ainz: According to your description, the chat group should only eliminate the negative psychological impact on the members.]

[Ainz: Forced Calmness is the Undead King's racial passive skill, and its combat benefits are extremely high. It allows me to maintain absolute calm in battle, so it should be a positive buff!]

Ainz himself is a professional PvP player with extremely rich combat experience.

Lin Yu wasn't surprised that he prioritized combat gains, but...

[Lin Yu: You're right, forced calm is indeed a reliable skill in combat.]

[Lin Yu: But... is it controllable?]

Ainz paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

[Lin Yu: The group members also possess similar skills. For example, Lin Lie's indomitable will and ancient memories have a similar effect of forced calming down.]

[Lin Yu: But compared to you, his skills are completely controllable; he can activate them at any time and deactivate them at any time.]

[Lin Yu: And what about you?]

[Lin Yu: You've already seen your future, haven't you realized it yet?]

[Lin Yu: Uncontrollable forced calmness will make you lose your normal emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Even if you engage in bloody slaughter against the natives, it will eliminate your inner unease and guilt.]

[Lin Yu: If this continues, you will gradually lose your humanity, and your mental state will tend towards that of a true immortal.]

[Lin Yu: This kind of passive skill, which is almost like a twisted mind, naturally cannot be recognized by the chat group...]

Upon seeing this, Ainz suddenly realized something.

Yes, why hasn't he realized such a simple and easy-to-understand truth?

Could it be... the influence of this immortal body?

Ainz was still shaken; if he still had flesh and blood, he would have been drenched in a cold sweat!
[Lin Yu: Of course, you don't need to worry too much. This is a normal phenomenon caused by a mismatch between the soul and the body.]

[Lin Yu: As the saying goes, if one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow. Before you transmigrated, you were just an ordinary person, so it's normal for you to be affected by your powerful physique.]

[Lin Yu: But now, you've become one of us. Your mental state is protected by the chat group, and you won't be twisted into an undead like in the original story.]

Seeing Lin Yu's comforting words and the words "became one of us," Ainz was deeply moved.

Just as he was immersed in this feeling, Lin Yu sent several more messages.

[Lin Yu: Now, I can answer your previous question!]

[Lin Yu: Is Ainz in the novel really you?]

Lin Yu: Of course not!

[Lin Yu: At least Ainz doesn't have a chat group, does he?]

Lin Yu: [Smiling face.jpg]

At the same time, other group members also chimed in, enthusiastically asking questions about the novel.

[Su Haoming: @Anz, let's have an interview. How does it feel to outwit and outmaneuver thin air?]

[Yun Ye: What do you mean by fighting wits with thin air? That's called being cautious, don't you understand?]

[He Jingfeng: Yes, didn't you see what happened later? This world does indeed have high-level combat power among the floor guardians. If Old Bone had alerted them from the beginning, he might have suffered enormous losses!]

Ainz: "..."

Old bones?
[Yunye: @Ainz, by the way, I'm curious, do skeletons really have a tactile feel?]

[Fan Xian: Stop! Hold on!]

[Fan Xian: You're not going to ask about Albedo's feel next, are you?]

[Yun Ye: How is that possible!]

[Yun Ye: Don't think of me in such a despicable way. Ainz treats Albedo like a daughter. How could I ask such a stupid question?]

[Fan Xian: Okay then, it's mine. I apologize.]

Yun Ye: I accept.

[Yun Ye: So, what's it really like to live on a skeleton?]

【…】

Lin Yu pointed out Ainz's problems in advance and used words like "partner" to subtly manipulate him.

This action, of course, did not escape the notice of the astute group members. They all understood immediately, choosing to skip the heavy topics in the novel and instead making some harmless jokes in a lighthearted tone.

As it turns out, lonely old people really do fall for this.

Looking at the constantly scrolling messages in the group chat, Ainz felt both ashamed and amused, his feelings were extremely complicated.

The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the group chat, in particular, brought back memories of the past, as if he had rediscovered the feeling of interacting with his guildmates in the game...

Thinking about this, Ainz was inexplicably moved.

After a moment's thought, he replied, "@Lin Yu, thank you, I understand."

[Ainz: @Su Haoming, well, I'm only realizing this now, and it's probably a little embarrassing...]

[Ainz: @Yunye, being empty is definitely not as good as having flesh and blood. The biggest advantage is that I don't have to get a haircut (laughs). I used to avoid going out as much as possible...]

Ainz answered the group members' questions one by one.

Judging from the tone and word choice, it seems to have returned to the personality of Suzuki Satoru.

Seeing this, Lin Yu looked gratified, knowing that his words of therapy had had some effect.

This is not surprising. Ainz is an easy person to get along with. As long as you take advantage of his personality of valuing his friends and build a certain bond with him, you can get his almost selfless friendship.

This is clearly reflected in every chapter of the original work.

Chat groups are a perfect platform for building bonds and friendships.

As time goes on, given Ainz's personality, he will definitely start to value his guild members more and more. Even if he doesn't surpass his former guildmates, they will at least receive the same level of attention...

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Yu voted for Ainz.

After all, that world does have a lot of good things. Not to mention the other world with superhuman powers, even the real world is a cyberpunk worldview from the 22nd century!

……

……

While the group members were chatting enthusiastically, Bai Zeming, who was also a newcomer, did not choose to join.

He has uploaded all kinds of knowledge he knows and has earned thousands of points with it.

Such a substantial harvest was truly beyond his expectations.

He never imagined that magical knowledge from the Fate universe would be so valuable!

Of course, this value is relative to him as a newcomer.

If it were other group members, it would be a different story. These guys had already had their expectations raised by Lin Yu, and a mere thousand points wouldn't even catch their eye.

But for Bai Zemin now, thousands of points are a huge sum of money!
With money, one naturally wants to indulge in some spending.

He immediately opened the [Group Mall] and, barely suppressing his excitement, began making purchases.

An artificial spiritual root that can turn mortals into immortal cultivators, worth 100 points... Buy it!

An anti-aging serum that can extend human lifespan by nearly a hundred years only costs five points?
This is so cheap!

I'll buy two to give to my parents as birthday gifts in the future!

The Chitauri produce the [Forearm Energy Cannon], [Gauss Electromagnetic Rifle], and [Folding Energy Rifle]...

They all look pretty cool, but unfortunately, they're too big and inconvenient to carry. The [Infantry Type II Particle Beam High-Energy Pistol] next to them, which costs 20 points, is much more cost-effective.

"hiss--"

Just as Bai Zemin was about to buy a weapon for self-defense, he suddenly saw the technology-related items at the bottom of the list and gasped in shock.

What the hell?
The vibranium suit worn by Black Panther?

Iron Man's Mark series armor?!
The group even has these kinds of things?!

Bai Zemin was both surprised and delighted, and quickly checked the prices of these goods.

The vibranium suit worn by Black Panther requires 500 points. There are a total of thirteen models in the Iron Man Mark series. The cheapest one is the Mark 4, which has not yet been upgraded with the new reactor and only requires 150 points.

The most expensive item is the Mark 50 nanotech armor that appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, which is worth as much as 3 points.

It's so expensive... but I can afford it!

Bai Zemin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately sighed and couldn't bear to spend all the remaining points on the nano armor.

However, as a loyal Iron Man fan, he couldn't allow himself to miss such an opportunity.

So, after a fierce internal struggle, he gritted his teeth and spent 300 points to buy the Mark 5, the suitcase-style Iron Man suit that appeared in Iron Man 2.

The original Mark 5 Iron Man suit only requires 200 points.

However, considering the thin armor and insufficient firepower of this model, Linghua made some targeted upgrades, using nanotechnology to improve the armor strength, adding a variety of weapons, and speeding up the dressing process, which is why it is half the price of the original version.

All of this information is clearly stated in the product description.

Bai Zeming was extremely satisfied with these performance improvements, so he readily spent the money.

After purchasing the external equipment, he returned to the serum section and, after careful consideration, bought a special edition Super Soldier Serum for cultivation that would not affect the implantation of spiritual roots.

As for the price, it's twice the original, which is twenty points...

After a long hour of shopping, Bai Zeming's points dwindled to exactly 200, enough to buy only two invitations.

Upon seeing this number, Bai Zeming realized that he could no longer buy. So, he suppressed his impulse, switched to the group chat interface, greeted the big shots in the group, and then couldn't wait to log off and check.
