Chat Group in Douluo: Messing with the Multiverse

-----

-----

[Lu Xian: Ye Hei, do you still have any gold left? Give me some more, damn it! I almost had to sleep on the streets!]

[Ye Fan: Nope, I just happened to get one piece...]

[Ye Fan: Also, why are you calling me Ye Hei? My skin is pretty fair, isn't it? Am I going to turn dark or something?]

[Lu Xian: Oh, you're dark alright, but in your heart.]

[Lu Xian: 'Ye Hei' is a nickname given to you by millions of readers who have read your novel. Just accept it, Ye Hei.]

[Ye Fan: Slander! Absolute slander!]

[Xiao Yan: So that's the kind of guy you are, huh, Ye Bro? smirk.jpg]

Ye Fan was confused. He always thought of himself as a kind and decent person. Even when people tried to rob him, he didn't kill them directly—he just made them smash their own heads against a rock instead.

"I've never even stained my hands with blood. How could they accuse me like this…?"

[Xiao Yan: Lu Xian, what about me? 'Huo Huo'—is that also a nickname given to me by the readers? Does it have any special meaning?]

Xiao Yan had been lying awake ever since Lu Xian told him he was just a character in a novel. Now he was joining the fun.

[Lu Xian: You? Your reputation is pretty good. Loyal and righteous. But you have this habit of always showing up at the last second to save people. Readers love to roast you for that.]

[Xiao Yan: Last-second rescue? What does that mean?]

[Lu Xian: Literally what it sounds like. As a shonen protagonist, every time your friends are in danger, you always arrive at the exact moment before they die. It's like a miracle. You swoop in, save the day, and create an epic climax—hence the term 'last-second rescue.']

[Xiao Yan: Slander! Absolute slander!]

[Ye Fan: So that's the kind of guy you are, huh, Xiao Bro? smirk.jpg]

Ye Fan truly lived up to his 'Ye Hei' nickname. Instant karma.

Xiao Yan started to doubt himself. Was he really like that?

No way!

Absolutely no way!

I, Xiao Yan, would NEVER be late!

[Lu Xueqi: What about me? Why did these so-called 'readers' nickname me 'Nai Qi'? This doesn't sound like a good name at all.]

[Lu Xian: Oh? You're still awake too, Nai Qi?]

[Lu Xueqi: I usually meditate. Sleeping isn't necessary for me.]

[Lu Xian: Got it. So you're all workaholics…]

[Lu Xian: Since you asked, I'll explain.]

[Lu Xian: Nicknames like Ye Hei and Huo Huo are just for fun. There are other ones too, like 'Lucky Bastard' and 'Heavenly Emperor Ye' for Ye Fan.]

[Lu Xian: But you're different, Nai Qi. Your nickname is actually a true term of endearment! It sticks with you for life!]

[Lu Xueqi: Oh? What does it mean?]

[Lu Xian: Of course, it has meaning!]

[Lu Xian: Right now, 'Nai' means you're young, cute, and lovable.]

[Lu Xian: But in the future, when you grow up, 'Nai' will mean… well, let's just say certain assets will become… abundant and magnificent. A fine balance of slender branches and ripe fruits. People will love you even more!]

[Lu Xian: Haven't you heard the saying? 'If you look down and can't see your toes, you're the pinnacle of beauty!']

[Lu Xian: That's why you'll always be Nai Qi!]

[Xiao Yan: Wait, wait, wait. Certain assets? Details, please!]

[Ye Fan: Yeah, details, please!]

[Lu Xueqi: Pfft! You shameless scoundrel!]

Lu Xueqi's fair cheeks turned red. She glanced down at her modest chest and felt like the guys in the chat were just a bunch of perverts. Who jokes like this?!

[Xiao Yan: What about Da Huo Ji? Curious! Eating popcorn! ]

[Ye Fan: Curious! Eating popcorn! ]

[Lu Xueqi: ]

Yan Lingji glanced at the chat, her stunning face filled with amusement as she silently observed.

[Lu Xian: Oh, Da Huo Ji? Now that's a legendary title!]

[Xiao Yan: Whoa, that badass?]

[Ye Fan: Whoa, that badass?]

Yan Lingji was confused. A legend? Me? Why don't I know about this?

[Lu Xian: Let's start with where the nickname came from.]

[Lu Xian: Yan Lingji mastered a fire charm technique, and she's really good at playing with flames. She often has tiny fire sparks on her fingertips—just like a lighter. That's why she got the nickname 'Da Huo Ji' (Lighter).]

[Ye Fan: …That sounds pretty unimpressive.]

[Xiao Yan: Get to the part about her ruling an era! If you explain it well, there's a reward!]

[Lu Xian: Money first, talk later.]

[Xiao Yan sent Lu Xian an exclusive red packet.]

[Lu Xian received the exclusive red packet.]

Lu Xian sat in his hotel suite, stuffing his face with food while weighing the money pouch in his hand—it felt pretty heavy.

Opening it up, he saw dozens of shiny gold coins. Hmm, can I use Dou Po's currency in Douluo? Would they think it's fake money?

He took out a coin and fell deep in thought. Would using fake money in Douluo be illegal…?

[Xiao Yan: Where are you?]

[Xiao Yan: Did he run off with the money?!]

[Lu Xian: Thanks for the tip, Huo Huo! You're too generous!]

[Lu Xian: Now, back to the story!]

[Ye Fan: This feels like a live storytelling session. Let me grab a seat.]

[Xiao Yan: Grabbing a seat .]

[Lu Xian: Da Huo Ji didn't rule an era with power—she ruled it with beauty!]

[Xiao Yan: Whoa! How beautiful do you have to be to dominate an entire era with looks?! A literal goddess?]

[Ye Fan: Now I'm curious.]

[Lu Xueqi: Is Yan Lingji really that beautiful?]

[Lu Xian: Of course! Back then, Da Huo Ji was known as the undisputed goddess of Chinese animation. For years, no one could surpass her. She topped rankings and held the title of the No.1 animated goddess for ages.]

[Yan Lingji: Back then?]

[Lu Xian: Oh, you're here too? Perfect timing!]

[Xiao Yan: The gang's all here! Now we just need a dog!]

Tang San, secretly lurking in the chat, nearly smashed his desk in rage.
