“Sirin, take this invitation letter and use it by willing it.” Chen Heng handed the invitation letter to Sirin beside him.
“Is this the so-called association invitation letter? It looks pretty simple.” Sirin curiously studied the white card in her hand.
“It is indeed simple, but its effectiveness is outstanding! I tell you, even if you use all your Herrscher Cores, you can’t exchange for this.”
“...” Sirin looked at Chen Heng, not speaking.
“Alright, alright, I’m joking. Even if you offered fourteen Herrscher Cores, no one would exchange it with you. Right now, only I have this item, making it quite rare. Don’t believe me? Ask the others once you’re in.”
“Erm…I’ll trust you this time.”
Ding! Welcome, Herrscher of Pufferfish, to the Dimension Administrators Association!
He Who Knows Fate: …
Efreet: …
Umaru-chan: This name…is quite vivid indeed.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: The first invitation-letter member, welcome.
Magus of Flowers: [Chat history] [Chat history]
Administrator He Who Knows Fate muted Magus of Flowers for seven days.
Administrator He Who Knows Fate deleted two messages.
When Chen Heng saw Merlin posting two chat histories, he knew this inept fellow was trying to stir up trouble, so he swiftly muted Merlin and deleted the posts.
Queen of Ice and Snow: That’s harsh.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Hello, I’m Sirin.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Hello, I’m the beauty in the kimono who appeared with Chen Heng’s ancestor.
Kal’tsit: Hello.
I Have a Strong Presence: You can read the group announcements… Never mind, you don’t need to read the group announcements. Your elder brother is here. He can explain it to you.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Who’s my elder brother?
He Who Knows Fate: That would be me.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, what’s up with my display name?
He Who Knows Fate: Well…the association determines your display name based on your personal circumstances and life experiences. You know, it’s like they say: only names can be wrong; there’s no such thing as a wrong nickname. That’s the gist of it.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Then what does Herrscher of Pufferfish mean?
He Who Knows Fate: Exactly as it states. The term “Herrscher” reflects your status, while “Pufferfish” signifies…well, a pufferfish. Taken all together, it’s saying you’re a Herrscher similar to a pufferfish.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: …And what does that represent?
He Who Knows Fate: Younger Sister, are you sure you want to know?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Of course.
He Who Knows Fate: The name Herrscher of Pufferfish suggests that you, as a Herrscher, are like a pufferfish: always puffing up, always getting beaten up, gaining new powers, puffing up again, and once more getting beaten up.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: …
He Who Knows Fate: I’m not lying. Anyone here can vouch for me.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Anyone?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Much as I hate to admit it, your brother’s telling the truth.
Kal’tsit: Your brother’s words are irrefutable.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: It’s probably better for you not to know.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Please accept my condolences.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: I don’t believe it. I don’t!
In reality, Sirin shook her head wildly and then glared at Chen Heng. She pulled Chen Heng’s finger over and bit down on it.
“Sirin, will you never learn? I’ve told you not to bite my fingers. You can bite my ear; why harm your teeth?” Chen Heng showed no signs of pain after being bitten. Instead, he looked at Sirin with concern.
“None of your business! Humph!” ?(?^?)? Sirin turned her head away and refused to look at Chen Heng.
“Sirin, you have to believe me. You can look up the Second Eruption Honkai comic in the cultural section of the Dimension Administrators Association’s store. It records your experiences and the fate you would have met had you not encountered me. Look it up, and you’ll see.”
Sirin gave Chen Heng a dubious glance but eventually chose to believe him and opened the association’s store.
Solomon: Although Merlin is detestable, isn’t a seven-day mute a bit excessive? This is the first time I’ve heard of a mute lasting this long, and an administrator can even delete another person’s chat messages.
He Who Knows Fate: As I said before, power can do as it pleases.
Administrator He Who Knows Fate lifted the mute on Magus of Flowers.
He Who Knows Fate: Merlin, I’m warning you. Don’t mess around while Sirin is reading her comic. If you cause trouble again, I’ll give you a 30-day mute. It’ll be a sour but thrilling experience.
Magus of Flowers: There’s a mute that lasts 30 days?
Administrator He Who Knows Fate muted Magus of Flowers for 30 days.
Flat-Chested Chinese: …
Efreet: That’s harsh.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: But well done.
Administrator He Who Knows Fate lifted the mute on Magus of Flowers.
He Who Knows Fate: How’s that? Now you know the maximum duration of a mute, right? Fancy a 30-day mute?
Magus of Flowers: No, no, no. I give in. I haven’t even been in the association for half a month yet, and you’re giving me a one-month mute. That’s a bit too much.
He Who Knows Fate: Merlin, you have to remember one thing. You and I have no feud.
Magus of Flowers: Then who sold my hair to Yakumo Yukari?
He Who Knows Fate: Can we not bring that up? Would you like to learn about the mute?
Magus of Flowers: No, no, no. I don’t want to know.
Flat-Chested Chinese: So, He Who Knows Fate, do you plan to leave this world now? Or will you stick around a bit longer?
He Who Knows Fate: I still have to wait a while. Schicksal hasn’t delivered the materials yet.
Flat-Chested Chinese: What materials?
He Who Knows Fate: Well, I moved the palace on the moon here and exchanged it for some materials. I helped preserve their relics and saved them transportation costs, so asking for some materials isn’t too much, right?
Flat-Chested Chinese: As long as you’re happy. Just don’t be too harsh while taking advantage of them.
He Who Knows Fate: Don’t worry. I’m not asking for much. Just to strengthen a weapon, how many materials could that use?
Flat-Chested Chinese: That’s good, then.
He Who Knows Fate: By the way, Immortal, are you interested in trading some cultivation techniques? How about I trade my Void Arts for your Void Sword Technique?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Void Arts?
