Crossover Anime: Edit everything, join the chat group

The concept of 6-dimensional ascension (Part 2)

[Gem Magician: You mean... all my previous efforts were just... using gold and silver to make better batteries, while you directly created the power grid?]

[Observer: That's one way to understand it.]

[The Gem Magician: ...]

Rin was completely speechless. She realized that if she followed Gu Chuan's theory, the heights she could reach would far exceed the scope of "great magician".

If her original magic limit was only enough to make a human slightly aggressive, then after the improvements, her magic completely reached a level that could rival that of Heroic Spirits.

The people in the group understood. Their gazes towards Gu Chuan had completely changed from "a promising newcomer" to looking up in awe at an incomprehensible being on a higher level.

[Ice Queen: Observation... Editing... I think I understand what your D means now.]

For the first time, Esdeath's tone carried a hint of genuine apprehension.

Gu Chuan didn't pursue the topic further. He knew the impact of the shock had been achieved. Excessive explanation would only diminish the mystery.

His consciousness was pulled away from the group chat, and he instead used another core function of the [Wanxiang Editor] – to conduct an in-depth "status observation" of all group members.

Analyzing and editing the gem magic had exhausted all his inspiration points, and he had even overdrawn some. If Rin hadn't bought his theory, allowing him to recoup some of his losses, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep the editor running.

He needs to understand the situation in each world in order to prepare for the next step of acquiring points.

In an instant, the core world entries of the four group members unfolded before his eyes, clearly exposing the undercurrents that foreshadowed the future hidden beneath the surface of peace or turmoil.

[World: Highschool of the Dead (Group Member: Kendo Shura)]

└【Status: Incubation Period】

└【Omen Entry: Biohazard (Glimmer)】

[World: Akame ga Kill! (Group Member: Ice Queen)]

└【Status: Period of Turmoil】

└【Core terms: Imperial decay, the flames of revolution】

[World: Demon Slayer (Group Member: Butterfly Dance)]

└【Status: Stalemate】

└【Core term: Curse of the Demon (Constant)】

[World: Fate/stay night (Group member: Jewel Magician)]

└【Status: Eve of Ceremony】

└【Warning entry: Holy Grail Ritual (Aberration - Highlighted)】

Looking at these entries that shimmered with different lights, Gu Chuan finally understood the essence of the [Cross-Dimensional Film Screening Event].

It is not a random social platform, but a "crisis early warning system." It connects to worlds that are about to be swallowed up by "distorted narratives."

As the sole "observer" and "editor," his task is to fix these storylines that are on the verge of collapse.

"I see... This is the correct way to earn Inspiration Points."

A look of understanding flashed in Gu Chuan's eyes, but there was also a hint of helplessness.

He glanced at his remaining two-digit Inspiration Points balance.

"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do right now."

He can see problems, analyze problems, and even create solutions.

But to start all of this, the most basic "fuel" is needed.

As for the fuel, he needed to obtain it himself.

Gu Chuan's gaze fell on the chat group's online store.

After purchasing Rin Tohsaka's abilities, she will inevitably change the plot in the future. In this way, I will also gain inspiration points. Although there are very few at present, once the plot begins, there will definitely be some differences.

If Rin Tohsaka is like this, what about the others?

Perhaps, the first fuel was hidden here.

7. Advanced Observer

In the underground workshop of Fuyuki City, the air still seemed to retain the intense heat left by the surge of magic.

Rin Tohsaka sat on the ground, utterly dejected. Her proud azure eyes were now filled with disbelief and shock. She replayed everything that had just happened in her mind, every detail etched there like a brand, overturning her understanding of magic built up over the past decade.

However, the storm caused by Rin's loss of composure at the [Cross-Dimensional Film Screening] has only just begun.

[Gem Magician: ...I understand.]

After a long while, Rin finally sent the message in the group chat, her tone carrying a complex emotion of being completely convinced.

[The Gem Magician: He… the 'Observer,' he wasn't lying. His theory is correct.]

This brief admission is more impactful than any explanation.

[Butterfly Dance: Miss Rin, have you really verified this? The effect... is it really that exaggerated?]

Butterfly asked cautiously.

[Gem Magician: Exaggerated? No, that word doesn't do it justice.]

Rin gave a wry smile and explained in detail in the group chat the results of her experiment, including the three-fold increase in power, the halving of energy consumption, and the entire process of performing fire magic with cheap crystals.

After hearing her description, everyone in the group gasped in shock.

[Sword Dao Asura: With a mortal body, wielding the power of laws... This observer has transcended the realm of 'genius'.]

[Ice Queen: Hmph, it seems I underestimated him before. This ability can't be explained by 'talent' alone.]

For the first time, Esdeath's tone carried a hint of seriousness. She understood that this ability to optimize, even create rules, was far more terrifying than mere power.

Just as everyone was stunned by the tip of the iceberg that Gu Chuan had revealed, Gu Chuan's profile picture lit up again.

[Observer: It seems you understand. That was just a preliminary optimization; there's still a lot of room for improvement.]

[System notification: 'Observer' has purchased your item 'Gandr'.]

[System notification: 'Observer' has purchased your item 'Gemstone Identification (Basic)'.]

[Gem Magician: Huh?]

Rin watched as Gu Chuan not only didn't stop, but continued to buy the basic magic tricks she uploaded, and excitedly showed off.

[Jewel Magician: Look, did you see that! Mr. Observer has bought my magic again! This proves that our Tohsaka family's magic system has the most potential! He must have seen its value!]

This sudden "favor" made Rin instantly forget her previous frustration and instead feel a sense of pride and honor.

The others immediately realized what was happening. Every purchase and modification by Gu Chuan meant the imminent birth of a completely new and more powerful technology!

[Butterfly Dance: Mr. Observer... are you going to continue refining Rin-san's magic?]

[Ice Queen: Hmph, looks like he still has plenty of inspiration points.]

Everyone became eagerly anticipating the outcome. With Rin Tohsaka's success as a "guinea pig," they all hoped that Gu Chuan would "turn the tables" on them.

Just then, Saeko Busujima, who had been silently watching the screen, suddenly noticed something. She opened Gu Chuan's profile page, her slender fingers paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

[Sword Dao Shura: Everyone, please take a look at Mr. Observer's profile.]

Upon hearing this, everyone clicked in out of curiosity. The next second, the entire chat group seemed to be muted.

【D: Observer】

Name: Gu Chuan

[Strength Rank: Extraordinary]

Inspiration Points: 25

[Butterfly Dance: Super-Transcendent Level?!]

[Gem Magician: You must be kidding me! Wasn't he just a 'mortal level' a few minutes ago?!]

[Ice Queen: ...]

Esdeath remained silent, but the turmoil within her was more intense than anyone else's. She herself had gone through countless life-or-death battles and drunk the blood of dangerous species before finally crossing that threshold from mortal to extraordinary.

And this man, this "observer" named Gu Chuan, simply sat in his room, learning, analyzing, creating... In just a few short minutes, he crossed a chasm that countless people could not reach even in their entire lives.

"One person can rival an army"—this is the definition of "extraordinary".

At this moment, the girls in the group truly understood the terrifying energy hidden behind Gu Chuan's seemingly ordinary improvements. With each new theory he created, he himself was evolving at an unbelievable speed.

[Butterfly Dance: I...I've practiced breathing techniques for years, and I'm still only hovering at the top of the 'mortal level'...]

[Sword Dao Asura: I have practiced swordsmanship since childhood, and my swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck. The path to transcendence remains a distant dream.]

[Jewel Magician: I...I spent over a decade learning magic...Damn it, can the gap between people really be this huge?]

A mix of emotions—admiration, envy, awe, and even a touch of jealousy—spread through the group chat. Ultimately, these emotions coalesced into a torrent, erupting in an unexpected way.

[Butterfly Dance: @Observer, Mr. Gu Chuan! Please take a look at my breathing technique! There must be areas for improvement!]

[Swordsman Shura: @Observer, sir, my swordsmanship may be rudimentary, but perhaps it can provide you with some new 'observation material'!]

[Ice Queen: @Observer, I'm willing to pay any price if you can optimize my ice control abilities!]

[Gem Magician: Hey! You guys! Don't jump the gun! I was first! @Observer, my gem magic still has a lot to improve, please continue to give me pointers!]

In an instant, the atmosphere in the group became incredibly lively. The four girls from different worlds, who were usually aloof, gentle, or domineering, were now like concubines waiting for the emperor to choose them, vying to show themselves off and hoping to win the favor of the "observer".

However, Gu Chuan seemed oblivious to this scene that resembled a harem selection.

His profile picture was still lit up, but there was no reply.

At this moment, he was immersed in a sea of ​​knowledge. The few basic magic tricks he had just purchased provided him with new directions for analysis. With his remaining inspiration points, he continuously deduced and edited, reconstructing those scattered pieces of knowledge into a more perfect theory of his own.

His aloof attitude of ignoring the outside world's chat groups only added to his mystique, making the girls in the groups even more awe and curious.

In the midst of this strange atmosphere, an abrupt system notification broke everyone's expectations.

[World Distortion Warning: In the world where 'Sword Dao Asura' resides, the [Biohazard] entry has changed from 'Faint' to 'Active'.]

[Sword Dao Asura: ...!]

[Sword Dao Asura: An outbreak has occurred at the school! Those 'dead bodies' have appeared!]

Saeko Busujima's voice carried a hint of seriousness, but more so a calm acceptance of what she had anticipated. She glanced at the escalating chaos outside the window and tightened her grip on the wooden sword in her hand.

[Sword Dao Asura: Everyone, I'm going to fight. @Mr. Observer, please make sure to put the theory you just mentioned up for sale. After I deal with this current trouble, I will do everything I can to earn points to buy your wisdom.]

After saying that, Saeko Busujima's profile picture went dark for a moment.

8 Desperate Live Stream

Shuchiin Academy, Student Council Room.

Gu Chuan had just finished processing a preliminary draft of the school festival budget and was about to take a short break when the [Cross-Dimensional Film Screening] interface in his mind suddenly lit up and was forcibly moved to the center of his field of vision.

[World Distortion Warning: In the world where 'Sword Dao Asura' resides, the [Biohazard] entry has changed from 'Faint' to 'Active'.]

[System notification: The "Story Silhouette" feature has been forcibly enabled; the channel has been established.]

The next second, the chat group interface was replaced by a dynamic screen that changed in real time.

It was no longer the word bubbles of the members joking around, but a bloody window leading to another world.

This sudden change caught everyone in the group off guard.

[Gem Magician: W-What is this?! Forced live stream?!]

[Butterfly Dance: Saeko-san's world...something's happened!]

The scene in the video silenced these girls, who were usually either proud or gentle.

It was a city on fire.

Thick black smoke, like a giant beast, hovered in the sky, obscuring the sunlight until only a dim yellow hue remained.

The piercing alarms, the screams of the crowd, and a kind of inhuman, chilling howl blended together into an apocalyptic symphony.

The camera pans through chaotic streets, past overturned cars and shattered shop windows, finally settling on the rooftop of a high school called "Fujimi Academy".

The chat group, which was in peace and normalcy, was suddenly and completely dragged into a first-person perspective of post-apocalyptic survival.
