Logan Carter: "Senior Pharmacist, your alchemy skills are truly beyond words. I tried refining the revised Body Tempering Elixir ten times, and actually succeeded eight times. The effects are even better than I imagined. It's a pity this elixir is only effective for beginners in cultivation. For a loose cultivator like me, it's not very useful, but for seniors like Da Luo Sect's Samuel Harris and other elders with many disciples and grand-disciples, it's extremely valuable. Once Senior Olivia and the others receive this pill recipe, they'll owe you a huge favor, Senior Pharmacist."

　　Wandering Monk Thomas also popped up and sent a thumbs-up emoji.

　　Logan Carter immediately laughed and said, "I almost forgot, Master Thomas, you also have a bunch of little monks under your care. Senior Pharmacist, looks like there's one more person who owes you a favor."

　　Wandering Monk Thomas sent another smiley face, then went back to lurking.

　　Logan Carter replied with a smiley face. He felt that practicing things like 'Silent Meditation' was a real pain. If it weren't for the chat group allowing Master Thomas to send punctuation and emojis, he probably wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone at all, right? That's just how troublesome Buddhism is—so back then, not being tricked by that big monk into becoming a little novice was definitely the right choice!

　　About ten minutes later, Blake Miller came online: "Olivia Fairy~~ Olivia Fairy, if you're here, please respond to me!"

　　At the same time, he spammed a row of crying and kneeling emojis.

　　"Yo, Blake Daoist Friend hasn't been online these past few days, where did you go for closed-door cultivation?" Logan Carter grinned mischievously, clearly asking while already knowing the answer.

　　"Closed-door my ass!" Blake sent a voice message, his voice choked with emotion: "Three days ago, Lucas Bennett, the 'great senior', came to visit me and stayed at my place for three days. And then, you guys know what happened, ah ah ah ah..."

　　"Heh." Logan Carter made it clear he would absolutely not sympathize with Blake. People who dig their own graves don't deserve sympathy!

　　"@Olivia Bennett of Bennett Island, beautiful Olivia Fairy, please come out and meet Blake, I have an urgent request!" Blake wailed. Lang is Blake's surname. His secular name is Blake.

　　"?" Olivia Bennett of Bennett Island came online and sent a question mark.

　　"Fairy, you finally showed up. I have a presumptuous request—please, please take your father, who has a severe daughter complex, back home! Blake is begging you!" Blake sent an OTZ kneeling emoji.

　　"Heh." Olivia Bennett of Bennett Island sent a smiley emoji, then after a moment, quietly replied: "I have a severe daughter complex?"

　　Huh? Wait, something seems off?

　　"I have"? Oh my god, is it Lucas Bennett using his daughter's account again?

　　Crack, something just broke. It was Blake's fragile heart.

　　This old guy really does have a severe daughter complex, always logging into his daughter's account. Is there no privacy left in this world?!

　　"......" Logan Carter felt the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. In the end, he kindly reminded, "By the way, Blake bro. Olivia is probably busy refining the new version of the Body Tempering Elixir, right?"

　　So Olivia probably won't be online for a while.

　　And that was that.

　　Blake Miller disconnected... not logged off, but disconnected.

　　"Pfft!" Ethan Brooks burst out laughing.

　　He was in a great mood.

　　But after reading over ten days of chat logs, he felt that the people in the group didn't seem like ordinary chuunibyou patients. The things revealed in their conversations were just too real, not like something made up at all.

　　This thought only flashed through Ethan's mind for a moment.

　　"Could it be that after reading their chat logs for so long, I've been assimilated by them?" At this thought, Ethan Brooks broke out in a cold sweat.

　　He was long past the age of chuunibyou, but who hasn't had a "back in the day" moment?

　　The experiences brought by dreams of being a hero, a martial artist, or a superhero were black histories he never wanted to face again. Just thinking about them made him feel so embarrassed, he wanted to die, wanted to forget, just forget!

　　So he absolutely must not be assimilated by the people in the group.

　　"Time to eat." He reached out, ready to close the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

　　Just as he was about to close the group, Logan Carter popped up again: "Adam, has a junior in your family finished their tribulation? Why is there no news?"

　　Adam Foster replied: "They're about to start. In a few more hours, it'll begin."

　　Logan Carter asked again: "Where are they undergoing the tribulation? Need any help?"

　　"In the suburbs of H City. Don't worry, my family's Ashley is extremely talented. A mere third-rank postnatal advancement lightning tribulation is nothing, she'll breeze right through it. Just wait for my family's Ashley to advance to fourth-rank innate, then I'll find a chance to challenge you all, wahaha." Adam Foster laughed heartily, sounding very relaxed.

　　"Now that you say that, I'm relieved. Ashley really is a talented kid. A third-rank postnatal lightning tribulation shouldn't be a problem for her." Logan Carter replied.

　　After that, the group returned to its usual calm.

　　Ethan Brooks scratched his chin. H City?

　　Isn't that right next to Jiangnan? Come to think of it, his university town was located right at the border of Jiangnan City, H City, and J City.

　　H City is a small city in China, but despite its size, its economy is extremely developed. It's a famous shopping paradise in China, said to have everything you could possibly want—except, of course, for anything illegal.
