Bai Luo’s words immediately drew questions from the four individuals.
Time Pokémon: “Know us? What do you mean?”
Illuminating Ying: “The literal meaning. First, there’s Ace, you’re Misaka Mikoto, right?”
Ace: “How do you know?”
Bai Luo sent another message without pausing: “Time Pokémon, Kurumi Tokisaki?”
Time Pokémon: “This is truly… It seems Mr. Ying has some amazing abilities.”
In the Date A Live world, after Bai Luo revealed her true identity in one sentence, Kurumi Tokisaki was clearly not calm inside.
And judging by Ace’s reaction, she probably guessed that she had been identified by Bai Luo as well.
“Kukkuruki Emperor!”
Kurumi summoned her angel immediately, alerting around to see if anyone was hiding in the shadows watching her.
Of course, Kurumi found nothing.
Even though she used shadows multiple times to transfer, even swapping with her own doppelganger, the chat group remained unchanged.
“As for how I know…”
In the chat group, Bai Luo directly told the two girls about reading light novels and anime related to them.
Upon hearing that they were characters from light novels, both Misaka Mikoto and Kurumi Tokisaki were shocked, exclaiming ‘how could this be possible’.
Ace: “Are you joking?”
“Ara ara.”
Time Pokémon: “Mr. Bai Luo, such jokes aren’t funny at all.”
Kurumi Tokisaki also felt incredulous.
She didn’t want to believe that the world she lived in was false.
And according to Bai Luo’s implication, it would mean that her fate was already predetermined.
Lost Memory of White: “Feels kind of miraculous.”
Iron Head Kid: “What does it mean to be a character from someone else’s work?”
Compared to the other three, Iron Head Kid couldn’t understand Bai Luo’s statement.
He hadn’t read many books or seen picture books and novels, so he was completely confused.
Time Pokémon: “It’s hard to believe. Can Mr. Ying prove what he said is true?”
If it was just two names, it wouldn’t explain anything.
“This.”
Bai Luo focused on ‘Lost Memory of White’ and ‘Iron Head Kid’, asking: “Iron Head Kid, what’s your name? I might have seen works related to you.”
“And White, can you describe the characteristics of the world you’re in?”
Kurumi and Mikoto guessed that Bai Luo needed more information to associate with works related to the two.
Illuminating Ying: “Of course, I haven’t read every work, so it’s possible I don’t know your identities.”
After all, members of the group may not all come from works Bai Luo knows.
He didn’t intend to label himself as omniscient.
Such things are impossible to hide.
To put it bluntly, any mistake in an omnipotent setup could lead to a collapse of character.
As for never making mistakes…
Bai Luo indicated that this isn’t novel writing, it’s entirely unreasonable.
“In fact, you don’t need to take it so seriously. Living in someone else’s work is itself a hypothesis.”
“Moreover, for you, the world is the world, everything is real.”
“Compared to the theory of creative works, I prefer another explanation.”
Subsequently, Bai Luo explained the idea that the anime worlds originally existed and weren’t creations of authors. The reason they form works in other worlds is because certain people receive information from other worlds and present it in the form of works.
Hearing this, the group members calmed down slightly, after all, no one wants their world to be fake.
Iron Head Kid: “Mr. Ying, my name is Tanjiro Kamado. Do you know anything about me?”
“Tanjiro Kamado?”
Illuminating Ying: “I see, I have indeed read works related to you.”
Lost Memory of White: “As for me, sorry, I don’t know how to describe it.”
The white-haired boy sat slumped among the ruins, looking at the ceiling with a hole in it.
He didn’t know where he was because there was no similar reference in his memory. He could only use the chat group function to upload the surrounding scenery.
Ace: “This looks like the sports equipment room at school.”
Time Pokémon: “Hmm, saw a lot of sports equipment.”
“Ah…”
Lost Memory of White: “What is a sports equipment room?”
Ace: “You don’t even know this? Judging from your living environment, it should be modern, right?”
Lost Memory of White: “Sorry, I can’t remember anything.”
“Eh…”
Ace: “Sorry.”
Lost Memory of White: “Mama, don’t worry, it’s fine haha.”
Time Pokémon: “Mr. White’s mindset is really good.”
Ace: “Indeed.”
“……”
While they were talking, Bai Luo stared at the photo sent by White for a long time, comparing it with his current appearance.
“Seems familiar.”
For some reason, Bai Luo felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen a similar anime character somewhere.
Thinking about this, Bai Luo opened the chat group’s function interface, discovering four functions: live streaming, marketplace, travel, check-in, and lottery pool.
The photo-taking feature White used earlier belonged to the sub-function of ‘live streaming’, along with video recording, projection, and live broadcasting.
“Very common chat group functions.”
Bai Luo thought privately: “Probably in the future, we can stream for group members and earn points.”
Next, Bai Luo entered the market interface and found it empty.
The prompt said that items needed to be sold by group members themselves.
“Hmm…”
After reading the instructions for the market interface, Bai Luo roughly understood this function.
Simply put, it’s a platform for transactions between group members.
Taking Bai Luo as an example, he needs to sell items to the market in exchange for points, and other group members can buy these goods using points.
As for how to obtain points, there are two ways: daily sign-ins and selling valuable items to the market.
The market won’t charge any handling fees in the middle; it will be exactly the same number of points when selling and buying.
The travel function is easy to understand; under the consent of other group members, Bai Luo can go to their worlds.
To prevent damage to the group members’ worlds, local group members have the right to send visitors back at any time.
Illuminating Ying: “By the way, has everyone signed in?”
Apparently, the group members hadn’t finished reviewing the features of the chat group yet.
At this point, reminded by Bai Luo, they realized that they could collect points through daily sign-ins.
[Group member ‘Illuminating Ying’ successfully signed in, obtaining 100 points]
“100 points?!”
Ace: “Is this a lot or a little?”
[Group member ‘Ace’ successfully signed in, obtaining 5 points]
“Eh?”
Ace: “5 points? Why so few?”
[Group member ‘Time Pokémon’ successfully signed in, obtaining 22 points]
[Group member ‘Iron Head Kid’ successfully signed in, obtaining 25 points]
[Group member ‘Lost Memory of White’ successfully signed in, obtaining 40 points]
Time Pokémon: “Pfft! 5 points, pfft!”
Ace: “Hey, that’s unfair!”
“This guy! You’ve made me so angry!!”
In Academy City, a certain Ace watched Time Pokémon Kurumi Tokisaki’s complaints in the chat group, her body sparking with electric arcs.
“Zzzt!”
“Ah!”
“What happened?”
“My newly bought phone!!!”
The next moment, the surrounding circuits instantly failed, countless pedestrians’ phones crashed.
For a while, the entire area was in chaos, countless maintenance robots rushing toward here, scaring the fleeing Ace into running away again in panic.
“It seems my luck is pretty good.”
Being able to get 100 points from signing in made Bai Luo quite happy.
Subsequently, Bai Luo opened the lottery pool and discovered that it contained a wide variety of items.
From rare items and abilities to the most common daily necessities, it was truly comprehensive.
After a brief look, he found crystallized spirits from Date A Live, breathing techniques from Demon Slayer, magic and superpowers from A Certain Magical Index, magic control and ancient relics from the Shadow World, etc.
“Does the prize pool contain items from all the group members’ worlds?”
Not only that, the system also very helpfully evaluated the quality of these items.
According to the rarity of the items, they were ranked from low to high in nine levels: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, gold, and rainbow.
The higher the quality, the harder it is to draw from the prize pool.
Moreover, quality represents the power and value of the item.
“Just quality, not level?”
Bai Luo noticed this point: “My ‘Magic Growth’ skill isn’t uncommon in the Shadow World.”
Looking at the magic drawing in the prize pool, the chat group rated it as ‘orange’ quality.
“Dresden Slate?”
Suddenly, Bai Luo saw something interesting: “And this sword, Sword of Damocles.”
“I see, Lost Memory of White is actually that White.”
The Sword of Damocles and Dresden Slate come from an anime called “K,” and the lost-memory White is highly likely to be the first Authority Holder, the Silver King ‘Adolf K. Wiesmann.’
Now Bai Luo has thoroughly figured out the identities and origins of the four group members.
Then Bai Luo checked the two abilities he possessed.
[Primordial Magic]
Quality: Light Orange
Source: The world of group member Illuminating Ying
Description: Extremely primitive and chaotic magic, with extremely high destructive power and evolution ability
[Ten Thousand Transformations]
Quality: Deep Orange
Source: The world of Illuminating Ying
Description: Possesses strong material interference ability, reaching its limit can even achieve microscopic control at the smallest unit, realizing impossible miracles
Items of the same color quality are internally divided into three levels: light, shallow, and deep.
“Isn’t the quality of Magic Control much higher than Magic Growth?”
The evaluation of Magic Control being deep orange was somewhat unexpected for Bai Luo.
He thought these two abilities were at the same level.
Looking at the items and abilities from other group members’ worlds,
[Water Breathing Technique]
Quality: Light Green
Source: The world of group member Iron Head Kid
Description: Special technique, can strengthen the body and improve responsiveness through specific breathing methods
[Spirit Crystal·Understanding]
Quality: Deep Purple
Source: Time Pokémon’s world
Description: Crystals containing the essence of the world, possessing powerful forces that can manipulate time and disrupt space.
“The power of Kurumi’s Pokémon is rated purple by the system, while the breathing technique is green.”
Based on Bai Luo’s judgment, gray-quality items mostly lack value, such as food and daily necessities.
White-quality items often have functionality, like high-tech products from the magical prohibition world and weapons like firearms.
Green items have already ventured into extraordinary realms, allowing one to truly gain powers far surpassing those of ordinary people.
“Blue items, the superpowers and magic from the magical prohibition world, are almost all categorized here.”
Bai Luo stroked his chin and pondered, “Without exception, blue is the boundary of the extraordinary, starting to involve energies like magic and spiritual energy.”
Although the breathing technique can strengthen the body, it doesn’t make one produce extraordinary energy.
Ultimately, it still focuses on enhancing strength, speed, and endurance.
“As for purple and orange…”
Bai Luo looked at the items placed in these two slots in the lottery pool: “The authority sword from the authority world is light purple, the spirit crystal is pale purple, while the origin force here is the same as my primordial magic, rated as pale orange.”
In other words, the chat group believes that Bai Luo’s development of magic to its limit will place him at the same level as Miyao Sumire.
As for how to specifically divide purple and orange, due to insufficient information, Bai Luo cannot judge temporarily.
