Just as Su Han was happily idling in the group chat, Yae Miko, who was sitting in front of him, finally couldn't take it anymore.
She slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Hey! How much longer are you going to make me wait?"
It had been a full hour. Was he ever going to finish? She had almost fallen asleep!
Su Han snapped back to reality and, seeing the fuming Yae Miko, smiled. "I almost forgot. The group just leveled up. I'll pull you in right now."
"Hmph. That's more like it."
Subsequently, Yae Miko received the invitation. Looking at the dialogue box in front of her, she couldn't help but be surprised. She never expected the group chat to be like this.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
[Ding! Congratulations to the new member, Yae Miko, for joining the Multiverse Mission Group.]
Hu Tao:A newcomer so soon? Yae… what a strange name. Seems like someone from Inazuma!
Ningguang:Hello, Yae Miko. Welcome to the Multiverse Mission Group.
Yae Miko:Hello, everyone. So this is what a 'group' is. How magical.
As it was her first time encountering a group chat, she was incredibly curious about everything, from the group rules to the group files.
It was only when she saw the Points Shop that the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine finally couldn't sit still.
What was she seeing? A Soul-Returning Pill! A treasure that could bring the dead back to life.
"This has to be fake, right? Does such a thing really exist in the world?" Yae Miko muttered to herself, her gaze completely captivated by the Soul-Returning Pill.
If this thing was real, did that mean that Raiden Makoto could be resurrected? And Kitsune Saiguu, and the others?
She quickly turned her head to look at Su Han, wanting to confirm if this thing was real.
"Su Han! That Soul-Returning Pill, it's not a fake, is it?!" Because she was so agitated, Yae Miko's voice began to tremble. This was something that could resurrect the previous Raiden Shogun.
Su Han nodded. "It's real. Otherwise, where do you think the Haki came from? Through the Points Shop, we can exchange for all sorts of treasures. The Flower-Flower Fruit that Keqing used is similar."
"Let me calm down… I'm just too excited. To think she can really be resurrected… sob…"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Yae Miko actually began to cry. Because Raiden Makoto was just too important, both to her and to Ei. She was family.
Su Han looked at the sly fox who had lost her composure and spoke up to break her fantasy. "It's just a hope, that's all. We can't possibly gather five million points in half a month. So you don't need to be so emotional."
"What did you say?"
"Didn't you see the restrictions on the item? It requires a Level 3 member and five million points. Even if we had enough points, we wouldn't be able to redeem it. Becoming a Level 3 member requires completing many, many missions."
Yae Miko was taken aback, then looked at the group interface. Her face slowly changed from excitement to disappointment.
"How can this be? To see hope, only to find it unreachable."
However, she quickly recovered. Yae Miko turned to Su Han and asked, "Will there be treasures like this in the future?"
"Of course. But it might not be a Soul-Returning Pill; it could be something else."
"Mm, that's good." She let out a sigh of relief, then said to Su Han, "If there are any missions in the future, you can call me directly. Oh, and how about you make me an administrator as well? When Inazuma has stabilized a bit more, I will recruit some powerful people for you."
"Alright. That was my plan all along." Su Han nodded and granted Yae Miko the administrator permissions.
Without the administrator status, if he wanted to invite people from Inazuma to join in the future, he would still have to go there himself. Now, he didn't need to. As long as Yae Miko was there, it would be fine.
However, so that the sly fox wouldn't go on a mad recruiting spree, Su Han still warned her, "The positions in the group are limited. If you have a suitable candidate, you must inform me first. If I don't agree, they cannot join the group! Otherwise, I'll revoke your status."
Yae Miko rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph. I'm not that foolish. I won't go around spreading your secrets." Having joined the group, she naturally understood Su Han's uniqueness. Within the Seven Nations, there was not a single person who could do what he did. If the Fatui were to find out, the Cryo Tsaritsa would probably lose her mind.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat, seeing that the newcomer had actually become an administrator, Hu Tao began to feel a little indignant. Ningguang's status was special, so it was fine for her to be an admin. But why could this newcomer also get the position?
Hu Tao:Hey, that Yae Miko, why did you get to be an administrator?
Kaedehara Kazuha:What? Lady Guuji Yae is here! It really is you, Lady Yae?
Mona:Huh? You know this newcomer?
Kaedehara Kazuha:Yes. Lady Guuji Yae is the head shrine maiden of our Inazuma's Grand Narukami Shrine, and she is also the familiar of the Raiden Shogun.
Ganyu:A familiar? You mean, she is someone who serves the Raiden Shogun?
Ningguang:That's right. So, little Hu Tao, don't be jealous. Her status is similar to that of an adeptus. Don't be impolite.
Hu Tao:…
Alright, Zhongli is an adeptus, and this Yae Miko has an equivalent status. Sigh, every single one of them has some kind of special background. How boring.
Seeing the sulking young woman, Yae Miko couldn't help but giggle. With this group, she would never be bored again. She could even listen to Su Han tell stories anytime, anywhere. How nice.
Unfortunately, Su Han was busy and naturally had no time to entertain this sly fox.
After sending her off, Su Han returned to his room.
With the group's upgrade, as the Group Leader, his rewards were quite substantial!
"Let's see what I've got."
He opened the group's system messages, and a series of notifications popped up.
[Ding! Congratulations on the Multiverse Mission Group's upgrade to a Level 2 chat. As the Group Leader, your permissions have been increased! When a group member completes a mission, you will now automatically receive 20% of the points…]
[Ding! Congratulations on the Multiverse Mission Group's upgrade to a Level 2 chat. As the Group Leader, you have received a Level-Up Gift Pack!]
There's a level-up gift pack?
Su Han quickly opened it. Three items fell out.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained: Skill Upgrade Card (1x)!]
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained: Weapon Upgrade Card (1x)!]
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained: Mission Refresh Card (1x)!]
Skill Upgrade Card: Can raise the level of a skill you have learned by one. (Group Leader use only)Weapon Upgrade Card: Can upgrade a weapon to be your exclusive equipment. (Group Leader use only)Mission Refresh Card: Can be used to refresh the group's mission. Cooldown: fifteen days!
Looking at the three items that dropped, Su Han's eyes lit up. The Group Leader's benefits had increased again. The weapon and skill upgrade cards were self-explanatory, but the Mission Refresh Card could actually forcibly refresh the group's mission. Although the cooldown was long, one more mission meant one more chance to get points. And his own point acquisition rate had increased from the original ten percent to twenty percent. Awesome.
Su Han continued to look. Sure enough, there was an extra reward for Zhongli's completed mission as well.
[Ding! Congratulations to member Zhongli for completing the promotion mission. As the Group Leader, you have received an additional reward: 40,000 Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to member Zhongli for completing the promotion mission. As the Group Leader, you have received the primary mission reward: Conqueror's Haki Awakening.]
The moment Su Han claimed the reward, an inexplicably powerful force awakened within his body.
The dormant Conqueror's Haki was uncontrollably released from his body.
Within the entire grotto-heaven, the weather changed in an instant.
Kaedehara Kazuha and the others, who were training, all looked in Su Han's direction, feeling an infinite pressure emanating from within, even accompanied by some black lightning.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The ground was struck by the lightning, letting out a piercing sound.
Keqing was shocked. "This is…"
The aura was Su Han's, that was for sure, but it was also incomparably unfamiliar, as if a monarch had just been born.
Although the aura was strong, it vanished in an instant.
Su Han reined in his Conqueror's Haki and muttered to himself, "So this is Conqueror's Haki."
Why had Rayleigh once told Luffy that this power could not be trained? Because Conqueror's Haki represented a person's spirit, their ambition to become a supreme ruler, or their willingness to be a mere soldier. If a person did not have the spirit of a king, they naturally could not awaken Conqueror's Haki, and were not even worthy of possessing it, because this power was a symbol of spiritual strength, a part of the soul's power. And he had the ambition to conquer the Seven Nations and defeat the Heavenly Principles!
Su Han looked at the Skill Upgrade Card in his hand and decisively chose to strengthen his Conqueror's Haki.
Swish.
The card turned into a ray of light and poured into Su Han's body. His aura became even stronger, as if his spirit had undergone a sublimation. His entire presence had become more powerful.
When Su Han opened his eyes, he merely focused his gaze slightly, and the walls of the house violently shook as if they had been attacked.
He could cause substantial damage to objects without even imbuing his attack with Haki. This level of Conqueror's Haki was already on the same level as Shanks.
A smile appeared on Su Han's face. "It seems the day I defeat the Raiden Shogun is not far off."
