Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 1: Chapter 33: Angel Feathers

Chen Heng glanced at the clock in the Dimension Administrators Association’s interface. “When I left, it was only nine o’clock. Indeed, only one minute has passed.” The time in the Dimension Administrators Association’s interface changed in accordance with the world. It was very convenient and thoughtful.

With such an interface, why would one need a watch? A watch could adjust for time zones, but could it adjust for a different world?

It was currently 9:01. Chen Heng did not know what to do now. He had classes the next day, but it seemed too early to sleep.

Hence, he decided to hang out in the group chat.

He Who Knows Fate: I just returned from completing a mission. That transmigrator was truly trashy. No wonder he was only worth 500 points.

Umaru-chan: What an excellent usage of “only.” I have not even earned 400 points yet.

He Who Knows Fate: About this… How about I lend you 300 points first? Then, after you awaken your ability, you can complete missions and repay me when you earn some points. This way, you can awaken an ability one month earlier. Right now, I have 10,000-odd points and no urgent need for them. The others who have not awakened abilities yet can also borrow from me. Don’t be too embarrassed to do so.

Currently, Chen Heng had more than 10,000 points, but he could not afford what he wanted, so he might as well sell a favor to someone. After all, it was just lending and not giving.

Umaru-chan: Really? Thank you! I do want to get an ability. After all, world mergers are frequently happening now. Who knows when something strange will happen in the world?

Magus of Flowers: Had you not mentioned it, I would have forgotten that our group has people who have not awakened an ability. After all, the Ability Second Awakening only requires 100 points. Now, I feel very curious. The Ability First Awakening should be cheaper than the Ability Second Awakening. Why does the Ability First Awakening cost 400 points in the association’s store when the Ability Second Awakening requires only 100 points?

Queen of Ice and Snow: I remembered there were people who had not awakened an ability. However, they did not come to borrow from me. I thought that they were not in a rush. The people without abilities in our group are all from ordinary worlds. They usually won’t run into danger.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: You asked why the Ability First Awakening costs 400 points in the association’s store when the Ability Second Awakening requires only 100 points? I feel this is because it is harder to create something out of nothing than to improve an existing thing.

Lord of the White Night: I agree with this opinion. It is easier for someone born with a Gift to make breakthroughs and grow stronger than for an ordinary person to gain a Gift. A Gift is an ability.

[TL Note: Gift is the name for the abilities or powers of the characters in Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sō Desu yo? or Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren’t They? In this anime/novel, these Gifts can be traded or gambled away.]

Chen Heng sent 300 points to Umaru-chan in a private message.

He Who Knows Fate: @I Have a Strong Presence, do you need to borrow?

I Have a Strong Presence: If possible. Thank you.

Chen Heng also sent 300 points to I Have a Strong Presence in a private message.

He Who Knows Fate: @Blank Never Loses, @Iron Fist Teacher, do you need points too?

Iron Fist Teacher: Thank you.

Three hundred points were sent.

Blank Never Loses: No need for me. Even if I have an ability, I cannot go out. I’ll just slowly raise the points. Anyway, thank you for your concern.

He Who Knows Fate: You’re welcome.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Oh my! Oh my! He Who Knows Fate has pulled all the members with no abilities to his side.

He Who Knows Fate: What do you mean pulled? I just don’t need the points right now. I have yet to reach my limits after undergoing the ability second awakening. It might be a bit wasteful if I undergo the ability third awakening now. I’m more worried about the group members without abilities. If they run into danger, they have no way to resist.

He Who Knows Fate: In my world, ability users have no fixed way of growing stronger. For my ability, the stronger my Will Energy, the stronger the ability. Of course, Will Energy is very important, but the usage of the ability and its activation are also important.

He Who Knows Fate: My ability is the manipulation of attraction force. I wanted to use a web of attraction to cover space and create a folding effect in space to do a spatial jump. Of course, this is just an idea; I have not tried it yet. I still have not met any spatial ability users, so I have no references and dare not experiment. Who knows what would happen if I failed in a spatial jump?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Your theory is quite practical. However, I have no idea how to do it. After all, I’m not familiar with attraction. As for spatial jumps, my Gap is not a spatial jump but a spatial rip; I can’t give any suggestions.

He Who Knows Fate: I suddenly remembered, I’m about to take the college entrance exams. Fortunately, I have Precognition—furthermore, the Absolute Precognition at that.

Magus of Flowers: That has to be the most miserable use of the Absolute Precognition. You are using the powerful Absolute Precognition as a tool to cheat in college entrance exams.

Queen of Ice and Snow: …

He Who Knows Fate: Be reasonable, alright? It’s not like I want to see it. My Precognition has a short circuit. Its activation is random and will show me what I was thinking at the time of activation. That’s why I want to spend 100,000 points to repair this Absolute Precognition. Furthermore, honestly speaking, even without the Absolute Precognition, my results are pretty good.

Umaru-chan: Your college entrance exams bring me back to reality. You are already someone with an ability, but you still have to take the college entrance exams. To be honest, of everyone in the group, I feel that you are the ability user closest to reality—although having abilities is not realistic in the first place.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Am I not?

Umaru-chan: You are an angel, not a human. To be fair, you are the one who I feel is the most out of character. In the future, I can tell others with conviction that I have spoken to an angel.

Blank Never Loses: Indeed. You have not just spoken to an angel, but you have also played games with an angel. Most importantly, you were also cheated by an angel. Don’t you feel that you have already lived a full life?

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Boss, what do you mean cheated? I’m just not too familiar with the game.

Blank Never Loses: Like I believe you. I can play better than you when I play with my feet.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Boss, that’s too much.

Blank Never Loses: Want to try? I’ll play against you with my feet. If you want, I’ll continue carrying you. How about it?

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Yay! Alright!

Blank Never Loses: However, you have to give me two angel feathers if you lose.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Sure. But, Boss, can I ask? Why do you want angel feathers?
