Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Now, it was time to choose abilities. Chen Heng didn’t select attraction, spatial, or gravity abilities; instead, he chose his electromagnetic ability, bringing only this one ability with him.

He omitted attraction and spatial abilities due to their high cost, and the reason for not selecting gravity was simply that the electromagnetic ability was more suitable.

The electromagnetic control ability was not only highly versatile but also complemented Chen Heng’s Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle.

As for the cultivator’s cultivation realm, Chen Heng didn’t select any.

Now, the crucial part was Will Energy. After much contemplation, Chen Heng decided to give his alternate world avatar one-fifth of his original Will Energy.

Initially, he intended to go even lower, but the screen indicated that going below this threshold wouldn’t activate the alchemist class.

Ability strength was directly linked to Will Energy strength. With Chen Heng’s current Will Energy, even just one-fifth should be sufficient to bring his electromagnetic control ability to a level close to Lvl 5.

Chen Heng’s Will Energy level far exceeded that of Level 5 ability users from the beginning. Combined with two subsequent Will Energy enhancements, a portion of his ancestor’s Will Energy, and the later Chiliad Mind Tempering Technique he practiced (the method used to refine the Will Energy swords when cultivating the Chiliad Sword Conception; he named it himself), Chen Heng wasn’t even sure of his full power in all-out combat.

He wasn’t worried about encountering overly powerful entities that might lead to his demise because the game had an emergency mechanism. If faced with a lethal attack, he could become invulnerable for one second and quickly project a portion of his strength. Of course, this came at the cost of points.

Skills like Snipe, Steal, firearm proficiency, high-tier cooking, and swordsmanship didn’t require additional points for his avatar. These were knowledge-based skills or techniques executed by Chen Heng’s physical body and would not increase the Dimension Administrators Association’s operating costs.

As for items, Chen Heng chose to bring his already upgraded Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle +5. It had started to live up to its imposing name—but only started. Sniping stars were still beyond it, but meteorites were now within its capabilities.

Since Chen Heng had chosen to start as an alchemist with no initial combat prowess, he decided to bring a weapon that could be used without great strength. Within his spatial storage, the Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle was the best choice, especially considering he brought the electromagnetic ability to complement it.

Besides the Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle, Chen Heng also packed some everyday items into his three-meter-cube spatial storage, like cookware, utensils, and seasonings.

After some contemplation, he added a spiritual sword to the spatial storage—the sword he had used to shave the One-Punch Bear.

The One-Punch Bear was considered a high-level monster in Satou Kazuma’s world, and this spiritual sword could penetrate its fur defenses, making it quite valuable in this world.

As an alchemist with no initial combat capabilities, it made sense for Chen Heng to have a decent weapon on hand. He had the Electromagnetic Star Sniper Rifle, which had decent firepower, and to prevent enemies from getting in his face, he included a sword for close combat. All in all, there should not be any problems.

After Chen Heng selected all the items he wanted to bring, he closed the interface and bellowed in the vast, white space, “Alright, I’m done.”

“Just say you’re done. Why shout so loudly? Now that you’ve made your choices, it’s time to enter the game. Three, two…”

“Wait, is there no other procedure?”

“…One!” As Customer Service counted down, a massive, seemingly bottomless pit appeared abruptly beneath Chen Heng’s feet.

“I…” The gaping hole beneath Chen Heng caught him off-guard and swallowed him.

------

“…Heng…wake up…” In a daze, Chen Heng thought he heard someone calling him.

He slowly opened his eyes, first seeing a head of silver hair and then a reasonably sized chest.

“Uh, Jeanne d’Arc, what’s…going on?” Struggling to sit up from Jeanne d’Arc’s embrace, Chen Heng found himself unable to, due to his groggy state. It felt like waking up from a deep sleep, with his body lacking strength.

Although he hadn’t seen the face yet, the silver hair and the knowledge of his own name narrowed down the possibilities.

You might wonder why it’s not Luo Li. Well, considering Luo Li’s bust size, while it might not cause heartache or tears…

Let’s not dwell on that; it’s a sensitive topic that would get one beaten up.

“Ah Heng, you’re awake. The surgery went well.”

“Huh?” Having just woken up, Chen Heng was utterly perplexed to hear this. He froze.

If this were a normal situation, Chen Heng wouldn’t take this seriously. But after being tricked by Customer Service, his mind was still in a daze.

Chen Heng was genuinely concerned now, wondering if Customer Service had pulled something on him.

“Alright. Stop messing around.” Another familiar voice came from the side. It was Luo Li’s.

“Alright,” replied Jeanne d’Arc, who usually wasn’t this easygoing. However, considering that her helmet was purchased by the rich Luo Li, Jeanne d’Arc had to defer to Luo Li. Jeanne d’Arc was no different from ordinary people in this situation.

After resting for a while and regaining his strength, Chen Heng finally sat up from Jeanne d’Arc’s embrace. The first thing he did was touch his face, throat, and chest to confirm that Customer Service hadn’t played a trick on him.

As for why he didn’t immediately check the status of his little brother…well, Luo Li and Jeanne d’Arc were still present, so he felt a bit awkward.

“Elder Brother, don’t worry. Everything is fine,” Luo Li reassured Chen Heng when she noticed his nervousness. Although she didn’t understand why her brother suddenly seemed a bit slow in the head, she believed it was her duty as his younger sister to alleviate his concerns—and improve her favorability at the same time!

“Phew, you scared me there, Jeanne d’Arc. Don’t pull such pranks next time.” After confirming that nothing was amiss, Chen Heng did some simple exercises to warm up his body.

With the weakness in his body gone, Chen Heng assessed his surroundings.

He noticed that besides himself, Jeanne d’Arc, and Luo Li, Sirin, Kato Megumi, Umaru-chan, and Saitama were also present.

They were under a large tree, surrounded by an endless grassland, with some Giant Toad corpses nearby—evidence of a recent battle.

“Hey, Little Li, did you guys experience this when entering the game? Suddenly getting swallowed by a hole under your feet?”

“…Well, Jeanne d’Arc, Sirin, and I were transported near Satou Kazuma’s residence via a teleportation ritual array. As for the others, I’m not sure.”

“Oh, I also arrived through a teleportation ritual array.” Saitama raised his hand.

“Umaru-chan and I did, too.”

Hmm…does this give me reason to suspect Customer Service singled me out? No, I can’t tolerate this. I need to ask Customer Service, Chen Heng pondered while rubbing his chin, feeling aggrieved by what he perceived as unfair treatment. Hence, he decided to question Customer Service.

Customer Service, come out. Why is my arrival method different from others? Did you intentionally single me out?

Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t intentionally single you out. Your arrival method is unorthodox because…well, your class is different from the others. Special cases deserve special treatment, right?

Then weren’t you afraid I might suddenly appear in the wilderness and get mauled by some passing beast? Also, why didn’t I appear near Satou Kazuma’s residence?

Because… because… your unique teleportation method could have disrupted the teleportation ritual array in Satou Kazuma’s residence, potentially damaging it, so I just sent you near your family instead.

So, you’re saying you could have sent me to Satou Kazuma’s residence, but you chose the battlefield because you were afraid my unusual teleportation method might damage his teleportation ritual array?

You’re quite clever.

“…”

Chen Heng became increasingly irritated. Between me and the teleportation ritual array, you chose the ritual array? He abruptly terminated the chat interface.

Although Customer Service’s explanation seemed a bit dubious, at least she gave Chen Heng a reason. He would have to verify the credibility of this explanation himself.

Chen Heng couldn’t believe he received special treatment just because of his unique class. After all, he had chosen a support class. Thus, he had reason to suspect that Customer Service had taken advantage of official duties to vent a personal grudge against him.

It did not matter if he could not find any evidence now. He did not believe that none of the many Dimension Administrators Association members would get a hidden class. After all, there were so many people in the Dimension Administrators Association.

If Chen Heng found evidence of Customer Service exacting a personal grudge during official duties, then…

Chen Heng initially wanted to take his grudge list out and place Customer Service on it. However, he patted himself down for quite a while before recalling his notebook was on his true body, and this was just an avatar.

I’ll remember this first and write it down after I return.

“Umaru-chan, Sage Megumi, and Saitama, it’s great to meet you in person,” Chen Heng greeted the concerned individuals nearby.
