Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 7: Chapter 5: Immortal Executioner Sword: Don’t Submit, Face Me Head-On!

The sensation the Immortal Executioner Sword brought Yang Yan was akin to the threat he experienced when he first transmigrated into that other world and laid eyes on a Western dragon.

If it hadn’t been for a group of dragon slayers coming to his rescue, Yang Yan would have perished long ago.

“Mister Yang Yan, are you ready? If you are, I’m going to strike. To be honest, Mister Yang Yan, this Immortal Executioner Sword hasn’t tasted blood in who knows how many years, so its power might be a bit excessive. I hope you don’t mind,” Chen Heng stated calmly, delivering the most ruthless words.

“…Father, I was wrong. Can I still become an executor now?” Yang Yan bowed at a 90-degree angle, surrendering sincerely.

“Ah! Mister Yang Yan, why do you say that? The Immortal Executioner Sword mentioned it hasn’t killed anyone in a long time and is especially eager to try now.”

“No, no, no, I absolutely cannot trouble your Immortal Executioner Sword to act personally. I was just joking earlier, just a joke. Please don’t take it seriously.”

Time: 8:10 p.m.

Location: Street-side barbecue stall near the Forbidden City

“So, even if you’ve cultivated to law deity, don’t think about coming back to dominate the world or anything like that. This is a legal society now, and more importantly, this world’s depth is truly deep.” Chen Heng shared knowledge essential to Yang Yan while enjoying barbecue skewers by the roadside.

“I see. Before I transmigrated, I didn’t even know about the existence of this hidden world. Actually, I have no interest in conquering the world. I was just worried the world might attack me, so I thought of striking preemptively.”

“Don’t worry. There are plenty of people stronger and weirder than you. With the identity assigned to you by the world, you won’t need to worry about these issues. The hidden world is kept secret for the sake of ordinary people like you. If the hidden world were revealed, the first unfortunate ones would be people like you. Due to the suppression policies of the hidden world, conflicts between the two worlds are rare.”

“Oh, I see. And what about Valkyries and these ability users resulting from Spiritual Energy Resurgence? These are…”

“That’s because the world’s consciousness changed. The previous world consciousness had a tiny mishap and was forced to retire, so your current boss took over. New officials are always enthusiastic. The world consciousness changed, and so did the world’s policies.”

“As for those Valkyries, they are the product of a world merger. Your boss also created the Spiritual Energy Resurgence because of the world merger. You had the chance to return home because of the fluctuations from the world merger. Speaking of which, your boss should thank me.”

“What does this have to do with you, Elder Brother Chen?” Yang Yan asked, looking at Chen Heng as he finished his barbecue and promptly handed another skewer to him.

“Don’t call me Elder Brother Chen. I’m not older than you. Just call me Chen Heng. As for what happened…If you’re interested, you can ask your boss. I can’t reveal much about that.”

Chen Heng spent 20 minutes educating Yang Yan about the hidden world of this world and the changes in common knowledge due to the world merger. Before leaving, Chen Heng left 10,000 for Yang Yan. According to Customer Service, this was a small part of the initial benefits provided by the world consciousness to its employees. As for the subsequent funds, Yang Yan would have to manage them himself.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Chen Heng discreetly used a cleansing technique to remove the grease from his hands. He left RMB500 on the table and then disappeared, openly using his spatial ability. Since this was covered as a work expense, he might as well spend it; otherwise, it would be wasted.

Coincidentally, when Chen Heng used his spatial ability, all the customers and passersby happened not to be looking in his direction, so they didn’t notice his actions.

“World executor… Never mind, let’s go see my younger sister first. I wonder if my parents and my younger sister were worried these past two months when I was missing.”

------

After leaving, instead of immediately returning home, Chen Heng took advantage of the remaining time of the world’s protection to visit the headquarters of the Forbidden City’s Special Affairs Bureau.

Under the protection of the world, entering the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters was as easy as going home for Chen Heng. He faced no significant obstacles. What Chen Heng did there will not be disclosed for now. Chen Heng only reluctantly left the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters when the protection of the world was about to expire.

“These 10,000 points were truly easy to earn.”

Right? So, you should thank me. All you had to do was explain things to him to get these 10,000 points.

“…What are you saying? Do you think there’s anyone else more suitable for this job than me?”

A strait-laced guy like you will find it hard to get a girlfriend, deadpan straight dude!

“Hah! Can’t find a girlfriend? You must be kidding. I’ve got charm to spare. Just this morning, someone wanted to drag me to get married. It’s just that some issues cropped up.” Chen Heng did not like hearing what Customer Service said.

Let me see who has no eyes and set their sights on you. Oh sh… Time Witch! Well, good luck. This Time Witch’s personality is a bit… Whatever, I’m out.

“Hey, don’t leave me hanging. What’s wrong with my Little Li’s personality?”

Following this, no matter how much Chen Heng harassed Customer Service, Customer Service ignored him.

Very well, I will remember this grudge, Customer Service. What Chen Heng disliked most was people who spoke halfway and left things to the imagination.

Chen Heng glanced at the time on the Dimension Administrators Association interface, then mustering great willpower, resisted the urge to chat in the group. He resumed forming the Will Energy sword that had been interrupted by Customer Service earlier.

The next day, at six in the morning, Chen Heng’s internal body clock woke him up as usual.

After an hour of training, Chen Heng decided to make breakfast again to apologize to his master. Come to think of it, he seemed to have done this before for some reason?

High-quality ingredients often only required the simplest cooking methods. After cultivating all night, Master Chen decided to make egg fried rice.

This time, the eggs for the fried rice were monster eggs brought back from Perfect World. They were incredibly delicious. The rice for the fried rice was spiritual rice purchased from the Dimension Administrators Association’s store.

[TL Note: Looking at this, it seems that Satou Kazuma’s world—the KonoSuba world—is known as Perfect World in this novel. Of course, the actual game called Perfect World did not take place in the KonoSuba world; they probably simply applied the name.]

The combination of the two made an incredibly tasty egg fried rice. Moreover, after adding Pure Heart, the fried rice this time had the effect of reducing internal heat; in simple terms, it could soothe irate people.

[TL Note: Pure Heart is likely a cooking ingredient—a flower—from Genshin Impact known as Qingxin, which is the pinyin of the name in Chinese. I chose to translate it, as it would sound better. The name can also mean “mind cleansing.” Here is more information: /wiki/Qingxin.]

This time, Chen Heng made enough fried rice for eight people: Chen Heng, Ryougi Shiki, Luo Li, Sirin, Fu Hua, Fafnir, Dragon Bella, and his third elder cousin, Xuanyuan Yiyao, whom Chen Heng foresaw arriving later.
