Chapter 8: The Spirit of Drawing Sword  

Yang Tao looked at the chat group. Tony and Naruto had gone to watch anime, and there was still one member who hadn't spoken yet. That left only him and Wenjing casually chatting. He grabbed his iron pickaxe and headed to the bottom of the mine he had dug earlier to continue mining. His goal was to find diamonds—once he had diamonds, he could do a lot more. 

He soon reached the bottom of the mine and started mining using the "feng" method, ensuring he wouldn't miss any valuable ores. 

As he mined, he kept chatting with Zhang Wenjing. Suddenly, he remembered that she hadn't gone to school in the Harry Potter world. Did that mean she really had no magical talent? He decided to ask. 

"You never went to Hogwarts? Didn't you get an acceptance letter? Do you really have no magic talent?" 

Zhang Wenjing rolled her eyes when she saw his message. "I'm only five years old. How could I have received a letter yet? As for whether I have magic talent, I have no idea. Nothing strange has happened to me—no vanishing glass at the zoo like Harry Potter." 

Yang Tao wiped away some imaginary sweat. He had assumed Zhang Wenjing was at least around twenty, but she turned out to be only five! This chat group was doomed. First, there was a ten-year-old, and now a five-year-old? Their average age just dropped by a decade. 

"A little kid... What kind of broken chat group is this? Why does it only recruit minors?" 

Zhang Wenjing was immediately annoyed. She had just been called a little kid. "You're the little kid! I already told you I was reincarnated! In my past life, I was 25. Add five years from this life, and I'm older than you. Call me big sis from now on!" 

Yang Tao couldn't help but laugh when he saw her response. 

"Alright, Big Sis Jing. Do you still drink milk? I've got some fresh milk right here!" 

"You... You're bullying me!" 

Zhang Wenjing, who was having breakfast, put down the cup of milk she had just been drinking. How did he know she was drinking milk? Her face turned red from embarrassment. 

As they chatted, the last group member finally showed up. Just as Yang Tao had guessed, it was Li Yunlong from the world of *Drawing Sword*. 

Li Yunlong: "What the hell is this? Why did it appear in front of me? Did Old Wang in town sell me fake liquor? I must've drunk too much—I'm hearing things first thing in the morning!" 

"Huh? Why are my thoughts showing up on the screen? That's weird… I can read this even though I don't know a single character." 

It seemed like the chat group had an automatic translation function. Tony and Naruto had been able to chat without any issues earlier. Tony might have learned some Chinese, but Naruto definitely hadn't. His world was completely separate, and as a ten-year-old orphan, there was no way he had ever come across Chinese. 

Yang Tao: "Commander Li, this is the Multiverse Chat Group. You're not having a mental breakdown. Try signing in—you'll get some points, and you can buy something to check if this is real." 

The group store had cheap items. For example, he saw that a Zhongzheng rifle only cost one point, and bullets were one point for twenty rounds. 

There were also high-tech weapons from Tony's world, but they were expensive. The Mark 2 armor cost 2,000 points. 

The famous M4A1 was available too, priced at five points per gun, with bullets costing two points for 20 rounds—just enough to fill a magazine. 

Li Yunlong had sobered up by now. He read Yang Tao's message, his eyes widening in disbelief. 

"This thing is real? Not a hallucination? Signing in? Alright, I'll try it." 

He found the sign-in button and tapped it. Immediately, the electronic voice from before echoed in his mind. 

"Congratulations! You have successfully signed in and earned 6 points!" 

Still a bit dazed, he opened the group store. The selection wasn't very large, and most of the items were unfamiliar to him. He had no idea what they did. 

However, he immediately recognized the Chiang Kai-shek rifle and the Italian cannon. He could ask the others about the rest later. He selected one Chiang Kai-shek rifle and confirmed the purchase. 

The next moment, a brand-new Chiang Kai-shek rifle appeared right on his bed. 

 Li Yunlong was completely stunned!
