After this message was sent, the Group Members fell silent once more.
A moment later, Su Haoming was the first to break the weird silence.
【Su Haoming: Hiss...】
【Su Haoming: I think I understand what the Big Shot means.】
【Yun Ye: Me too.】
【Fan Xian: +1】
【Su Haoming: Big Shot, since you said that, do you have some kind of theory?】
【Lin Yu: It's not really a theory, just a speculation I made after discovering the existence of you three.】
【Yun Ye: We're eager to hear it!】
【Lin Yu: It’s simple. The three of you should have come from different worlds before you transmigrated, right?】
【Su Haoming: That’s right, we’ve already discussed that.】
【Su Haoming: Although the Earth of my previous life is extremely similar to theirs, there are still certain gaps in the details.】
【Yun Ye: So... parallel universes?】
【Lin Yu: That explanation isn't wrong, I suppose.】
【Lin Yu: But what I want to talk about is the theory of information interference across the Myriad Worlds.】
【Fan Xian: Information interference?】
【Su Haoming: I know about that!】
【Su Haoming: Many webnovels in the infinite flow genre write about that!】
【Yun Ye: Could you elaborate?】
【Su Haoming: Simply put, it means the author receives messages from other worlds through various mysterious Paths and then writes those messages into stories in their own world.】
【Lin Yu: Brother Su is correct.】
【Su Haoming: Big Shot is too kind, just call me Little Su!】
【Fan Xian: I think I understand what you guys mean...】
【Yun Ye: Me too.】
【Yun Ye: This theory does sound somewhat plausible, but... is that really the case?】
【Lin Yu: Who cares? Does thinking that way make you feel better!】
【Fan Xian & Yun Ye: ...】
That is indeed true!
The idea of information interference across the Myriad Worlds is certainly much easier to accept than the notion that someone is writing their Fate from behind the scenes.
But then again, didn't this Big Shot Lin Yu change his demeanor too quickly?!
Just now he was a knowledgeable and reliable older brother, but with that sentence, he suddenly gave the impression that he might not be that reliable after all...
Of course, one sentence alone wasn't enough to change Lin Yu's first impression in their eyes.
After all, the scene when he uploaded the Knowledge of Magic just now was too shocking.
Fan Xian and Yun Ye felt that this Big Shot was probably just comforting them, telling them not to worry too much about the future described in the books.
However...
【Yun Ye: Isn't that a bit too hasty?】
【Su Haoming: I actually think it’s fine.】
【Su Haoming: Bold hypothesis, cautious verification~】
【Lin Yu: @Su Haoming, I haven't asked yet, which world did you transmigrate into?】
【Su Haoming: A TV series called 《The Story of Tang Dynasty's Strange Events》. I wonder if the Big Shot has seen it.】
It was the world of Tang Dynasty Strange Tales!
Then he wasn't a Protagonist like Fan Xian and Yun Ye; perhaps he was from a fanfiction of Tang Dynasty Strange Tales.
Lin Yu thought to himself while replying, "I see!"
【Su Haoming: So you have seen it!】
【Su Haoming: That’s great! I haven't seen it, could the Big Shot tell me about it?】
【Lin Yu: ...】
【Lin Yu: I've been transmigrated for a while now, and I don't quite remember the specific plot of Tang Dynasty Strange Tales. Tell me your current timeline first, maybe I can recall something.】
【Su Haoming: No problem!】
【Su Haoming: I am twenty years old this year. I came to the Capital City with my cousin a while ago and am currently preparing for next year's Imperial Examination.】
【Lin Yu: Wait, who is your cousin?】
【Su Haoming: Su Wuming, the protagonist of Tang Dynasty Strange Tales. My knowledge of Tang Dynasty Strange Tales is limited to him because a friend from my previous life mentioned that he is apparently Di Renjie's disciple.】
【Lin Yu: No need for 'apparently,' in your world, he is indeed Di Renjie's disciple.】
【Lin Yu: Brother Su, Su Wuming came to the Capital to take up the post of County Lieutenant of Chang'an County, right?】
【Su Haoming: Exactly, exactly!】
【Lin Yu: Then this is the very beginning of the first season of the TV series.】
【Lin Yu: Your cousin should already be investigating the Chang'an Red Tea Case, right?】
【Su Haoming: I've heard of Chang'an Red Tea. It's said to be a luxury item popular in Chang'an, expensive, and sought after by all sorts of high-ranking officials and nobles in the Imperial Court, but as for the case~ I'm not sure.】
【Su Haoming: After all, I hold no official position and am a descendant of the Su Family. My cousin is extremely strict with me. During my time in Chang'an, I haven't even left the inn much, let alone inquired about the cases my cousin is handling!】
【Lin Yu: ...】
【Lin Yu: So, after transmigrating for twenty years, what exactly have you accomplished?】
【Su Haoming: Hmm, I guess I just copied some poems and earned the reputation of a child prodigy.】
【Lin Yu & Fan Xian & Yun Ye: ...】
Lin Yu sighed. He thought Fan Xian and Yun Ye had low-end starts, but he never expected there to be such a master in the Group!
【Su Haoming: You can't really blame me, can you!】
【Su Haoming: I won't even mention Brother Fan, who has so many fathers protecting him since birth. Brother Yun, although he's also a transmigrator to the Tang Dynasty like me, he brought improved potatoes from his previous life, befriending the second-generation military official Cheng Chumo right after transmigrating. He has the protection of military nobility above him, and Li Shimin, who is hailed as the strongest carbon-based lifeform of the seventh century!】
【Su Haoming: What kind of heaven-defying start is that? Look at me!】
【Su Haoming: When I was just born, Empress Wu ascended the throne. At fifteen, the Shenlong Coup happened, and Emperor Zhongzong took the throne. Last year was the Empress Wei Rebellion, Emperor Zhongzong died of illness, and then Li Longji and Princess Taiping launched a coup, enthroning his father, Li Dan.】
【Su Haoming: In the twenty years since I transmigrated, before I even properly grew up, there have been three coups and three emperors!】
【Su Haoming: Things have finally settled down a bit this year, but Crown Prince Li Longji is now fighting with Princess Taiping!】
【Su Haoming: Given this political situation, as a commoner, it’s already a miracle that I’ve managed to live safely until now. If I tried to emulate the flair of those two, Lao Tzu would have long since died in some dark corner!】
Everyone: "..."
It truly is a case of comparing people leading to despair, and comparing goods leading to disappointment!
Hearing that, Su Haoming's start actually sounded quite miserable...
【Fan Xian: Um, Old Su, think of the bright side. At least you're still young. If you endure a few more years, once Li Longji ascends the throne, it will be the Flourishing Age of Kaiyuan!】
【Lin Yu: Although I really don't want to pour cold water on this right now, Brother Su is Su Wuming's cousin...】
【Yun Ye: What does that have to do with anything?】
【Lin Yu: It has everything to do with it, because in the eyes of outsiders, Su Wuming is someone promoted by Princess Taiping.】
【Lin Yu: That's right, the one currently fighting fiercely with Li Longji, and who will eventually be ordered to death by Li Longji.】
【Fan Xian & Yun Ye: ...】
【Su Haoming: Sigh!】
【Lin Yu: Don't worry. At least now you have the Chat Group. Have you seen the Invitation in the Group Shop? As long as you save up one hundred Points, you can summon me over anytime, anywhere.】
【Lin Yu: With me here, even sitting on the Dragon Throne wouldn't be impossible!】
Upon reading this sentence, the three Group Members in different worlds felt a stirring in their hearts.
Especially Fan Xian, who, unlike the other two, had already accumulated one hundred Points and could exchange for a Cross-border Invitation at any time.
However, this Big Shot Lin Yu had only just joined the Group, and he possessed power that clearly far surpassed theirs.
Inviting such a powerful figure from another world into one's own world—it was hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse...
In short, they should be cautious for now and interact more with this Big Shot first!
