Chapter 1868 The Meaning of [Rule-Level Items], Rewards for Transmigrators' Missions
Chat group.

The richest man in the city: "So, that's why you haven't enabled the live streaming function?"

The richest man in the country said: "Because it was resolved too quickly?"

The richest man in the lighthouse: "But is this really fast? Almost five minutes have passed, haven't they?"

The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Even if it takes less than five minutes to manifest in Madara Uchiha's world, it is definitely not an instant."

The richest man in the city: "Something must have happened!"

Tony looked at Su Yunqing and the others who had re-logged back online and said with certainty.

Participants in time travel missions should enable the live streaming function, a point that Su Yunqing often mentioned. However, even though she was selected this time, she didn't enable the live streaming function.

The reason given was that the mission ended too quickly.

Don't they already know how quickly this mission will end?
Although it was indeed faster than the transmigrator missions of the past, with only a few minutes having passed, the difficulty of the higher-level missions meant that they didn't even need to lift a finger, nor did they have the ability to do so. They only needed to give Bai Xuan a buff, and then Bai Xuan could instantly kill them.

The whole process takes less than a minute, let alone five minutes.

But it took them so long to go online; something must have happened.

The richest man in the lighthouse: "You guys fought that time traveler?"

This is the most likely answer Tony could come up with.

Although he himself found this absurd, he couldn't think of any other reason why it had taken them so long to finish the mission.

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "The group leader and the others are fighting against transmigrators? That's impossible, right?"

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Isn't this transmigrator some kind of galaxy-level being?"

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Even Aizen would be instantly killed by this kind of power, right?"

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Even if they fight against time travelers, it shouldn't take more than a few seconds, right?"

Xiaomai said with some doubt.

After all, this is the most difficult task in the history of the chat group. With the strongest person besides Bai Xuan only at the solar system level, even if they really fought that transmigrator, the process wouldn't take more than a few seconds, right?

How could it possibly take so long?
Death God Elementary School Student: "Logically speaking, that's true, but we can't be sure if there are methods we don't know about."

Death God Elementary School Student: "However, it may also be related to the characteristics of this transmigrator."

Death God Elementary School Student: "Judging from the mission description, the race to which the transmigrator belongs is born with the instinct to 'observe the unknown,' but lacks independent thinking and emotions. The transmigrator's soul makes up for the latter."

Death Elementary School Student: "When faced with a group of 'abnormal samples' from different worlds and with different energy systems, the 'desire to research' and the instinct to 'collect data' are likely to be greatly stimulated."

Death Elementary School Student: "It may not have killed them immediately, but instead treated the group leader and the others as valuable 'research material,' and conducted some form of 'contact,' 'testing,' or 'data collection.'"

Death God Elementary School Student: "This process could very well take longer than a direct battle."

Conan made this deduction based on the information about time travelers in the description of the time traveler mission, but he wasn't really confident about it.

If it's data collection, why is the collection speed so fast?
In theory, they are people from different worlds, and to analyze them is equivalent to analyzing the rules of different worlds. How could this be completed in such a short time?

Or did the time traveler realize that he couldn't do it, so he eventually gave up?

The richest man in the city said, "That's possible."

The richest man in the lighthouse: "So what is the answer? @Ordinary group owner, @Uchiha Dance King, @Fifth Division Captain, @Invincible Benevolent Fire Kirin, @Magician Under the Moonlight."

The richest man in the city said: "Even if I get annihilated instantly, there's nothing wrong with talking about it, right?"

The richest man in the country said: "Isn't this just a matter of course?"

Tony asked them directly.

He doesn't like being a detective. He can get answers through reasoning and ask questions directly. Why would he want to figure it out himself?
An ordinary group owner: "."

An ordinary group admin: "If you ask me, I actually don't know either."

An ordinary group owner said: "Specifically, Madara Uchiha went up to fight it and was controlled by it. Then, those of us who weren't prepared to fight it were also controlled by it one by one."

An ordinary group owner said, "After we were all controlled, Bai Xuan came out and let us go. Then it kept staring at Bai Xuan."

An ordinary group admin: "That's it, he was wiped out in the end. Bai Xuan killed him instantly. *shrug*"

Su Yunqing spread his hands and said helplessly.

If you say they fought that time traveler, then apart from Madara Uchiha, no one fought him; if you say that the time traveler was analyzing them, then whether he did or not, they don't even know.

It can't possibly tell them what it's doing.

But they're probably analyzing them, otherwise there's no need to bind them one after another.

But with its strength, it could analyze them even without binding them, right? What's the point of binding them?
Surely they couldn't possibly be planning to take them away with them, could they?
The richest man in the lighthouse: "???"

The richest man in the lighthouse: "What do you mean you're all controlled by it? What does it want to control you for?"

Tony followed up with further questions, his tone full of confusion.

In his view, when faced with a group of opponents whose strength was far inferior to his own, the time traveler should either crush them directly or ignore them. What did it mean to deliberately "control" them?
Are you afraid they'll run away?
Or do you have some special fetish?
An ordinary group admin: "Shrug.jpg"

The ordinary group admin: "I don't know."

Su Yunqing answered decisively, admitting that she genuinely didn't know.

An ordinary group admin: "But it's not really that important, is it?"

An ordinary group admin: "Logically speaking, shouldn't you be more concerned about what we gained this time?"

The ordinary group owner said: "But I'm sorry to disappoint you, this time the [rule-level item] is fake. It is the product of the combination of the transmigrator's race and his soul. It is not a real [rule-level item], so the reward is just average."

Su Yunqing sighed as she finished speaking.

She was really in pain!
From her first time as a transmigrator until now, she could count the number of times she had participated in transmigrator missions on her fingers. This time, she finally had a stroke of luck and was selected, but the mission she received was marked as "high difficulty".

She was all set for a meteoric rise, but what happened? The more beautiful the dream, the harsher the reality!

That seemingly impressive "Rule Analysis System" is not only not a "Rule-Level Item" of the Heavens, but it's not even a "Rule-Level Item" of the Worlds. It's just a "knock-off" created by the transmigrator's "racial talent" and "soul"!
Although the chat group acknowledged the value of this "system" and gave rewards, it was far inferior to the rewards for recycling truly "world-class" or "heaven-class" [rule-level items].

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Eh?! A fake system?! Is this even possible?"

The richest man in the beacon city: "A product of the union of race and soul? Can it really form a system in such a way?"

The richest man in the lighthouse: "If that's the case, then are [rule-level items] created by an even more powerful being?"

Since the transmigrator's [Rule Analysis System] is a derivative of its ability, are all the [Rule-level Items] they encountered, including the chat group, also derivatives of another level of life ability?

“The ‘system’ of Observer Zero is the ‘manifestation’ of its racial talent as an information aggregate, and a natural extension of its mode of existence.”

"So, thinking about it the other way around, could the immense power displayed by those [rule-level items] we encountered before, whether they were celestial or world-level, also be merely the 'essential characteristics' or 'ability derivatives' of some higher existence that we cannot comprehend?"

"Just as humans create tools, but the principles behind tools ultimately stem from the fundamental physical laws of the universe, for ants, the mobile phones used by humans are like miraculous [rule-level items]."

"So, for us, could those [rule-level items] be 'fragments' that naturally fell off or were deliberately peeled off from the power, authority, or even the 'concept of existence' of some 'being' that stands at a height we cannot imagine?"

"Or are they themselves 'byproducts' or 'creations' of some behavior of a higher being?"

"The chat group can so easily recycle these items, is it really just because their level is higher than other [rule-level items]?"

An ordinary group owner: "Are you thinking that all the [rule-level items] we encounter are, in essence, perhaps manifestations or derivatives of some higher-level existence that we cannot yet understand?"

After seeing Tony's words, Su Yunqing asked him about it, then shrugged and said nonchalantly before he could answer.

An ordinary group admin said, "This kind of thing doesn't matter to us at all."

An ordinary group owner said, "No matter how much I think about it, there's no way to confirm it."

An ordinary group owner said, "This kind of thing is unnecessary in the system's conspiracy. Anyway, the chat group can't possibly harm us."

An ordinary group owner said, "Even if I want to care, I'll only be able to get the answer when my strength reaches the level of the multiverse."

Su Yunqing certainly understood what Tony was speculating about.

It's nothing more than a suspicion that behind all "systems" and "golden fingers" lies some higher-dimensional will or existence, just as humans observe the growth trajectory of these "lucky ones" like ants.

These "system conspiracy theories" and "mastermind theories" were already old tropes before she transmigrated, and she had long since become numb to them.

When one's own strength is as insignificant as dust, worrying about whether the starry sky above is a light bulb in some giant's laboratory is meaningless except for adding to one's troubles and fears.

Just as primitive people didn't concern themselves with whether lightning was the wrath of the gods or a natural phenomenon, they only knew that by mastering the "fire," they could survive and become stronger.

Without the chat group, she would most likely still be immune to spiritual energy and wouldn't have the strength she has now.

Even if, for various reasons, one obtains an opportunity to break through the barrier of spiritual energy and gain the possibility of cultivation, it is still the path of a loser's rise to power, and one will experience no less hardship along the way.

She's not someone who enjoys hardship, so she doesn't want to go through that kind of process to become stronger.

Even if the chat group really has ulterior motives and some unimaginable grand scheme behind it, with their current average strength of only planetary level, or at most the threshold of galaxy level, they are barely qualified to be pawns, let alone explore the intentions of the player.

"At the very least, what chat groups are giving us now is real growth in strength, lifespan, and knowledge; they are stepping stones to higher levels. Isn't that enough?"

Even if you really want to care, now is not the time.

When someone in the chat group truly possesses power sufficient to transcend the multiverse level, or even reach a higher realm, the so-called "answer" will naturally appear before them.

The richest man in the lighthouse: "."

The richest man in the city said, "I forgot about that."

Tony shook his head helplessly.

Thinking about it carefully, although no one had brought up this idea in the chat group before, they had probably all thought about it to some extent.

Why do "time travelers" exist in the world? Why do many "time travelers" carry [rule-level items]? Why does the chat group want to recycle [rule-level items]? Who created [rule-level items]? And why were they chosen to join the chat group?
These questions have probably crossed their minds more than once, but they have never brought them up in the chat group.

why?
Because it is not necessary.

Whatever the truth behind it may be, it has nothing to do with them now.

Instead of worrying about these things, you should use them to make yourself stronger.

Didn't he think about these things before? Why did he overlook them this time?

The oldest god-slayer: "@Ordinary group owner, since it's not a true [rule-level item], what are your rewards?"

The oldest god-slayer: "How much has this improved your strength?"

Marquis Voban asked Su Yunqing directly.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Yunqing say that the [Rule Analysis System] for this transmigrator mission was not a true [Rule-level Item], but rather a combination of the transmigrator's race and soul.

After all, whether it was Madara Uchiha, Karin Fei, or Aizen, their strength was not far from his.

Madara Uchiha and Karin Fei were alright; even if they were at the level of the Heavens, the rewards from a single transmigrator mission, given that the mission only accounted for 1% of their progress, might not surpass theirs. But Aizen was different.

Aizen's strength is extremely close to his, and even with only 1% of the mission's content, he could potentially surpass him.

But now, that's probably no longer possible.
