Chapter 9 : Chat group

*Ding*

The trade panel popped up exactly at 9 o'clock. But unlike the previous trade, he isn't in his room this time. He wants to know if other people can see what he's doing, so he's taking a walk around the house. Not surprising that there isn't anyone else who could see the panel.

Rather than list type, now it is more like an online shopping platform. First, he started by selling his antiquities and artwork he bought, after checking the general price of items.

Now it's easier to find items as the items are listed in categories. There's also categories for bestsellers, hot items and many more making purchase easier. He only got 200 tc now, for the items he sold before.

While scrolling, an item caught his eyes. It's an item for body strengthening that he knows. It's a gene optimization fluid, but now it's listed as an 'elementary' gene optimization fluid.

" I guess the quality gets better with higher authority ." He's excited. Now he can buy higher level stuff. Now the product description is quite satisfactory like the description for this item is

>A gene optimization fluid that perfects the body, making you as strong as a cheap quality version of Captain America. Gradual strengthening of the body to up to 3 times the strength of a normal adult. Price - 700 ts.

"What the hell?!", he agape. He didn't think that a low priced gene serum has an outstanding effect. If he buys it, he could have his own team of supersoldiers. Before he could click buy, but the post was gradually greyed out. He was too late. The item was already sold." I can't hesitate next time".

There's an option to contact the seller. Ryan click on it and asked ;

Ryan : Hey do you have any more Gene Fluid?

Mythic shopkeeper : My stock is gone. Wait until the next session. Are you new here?

Ryan : Yes, I just got to tier 1.

He is amused,'how can he/she know about it? Can others find out he's a newbie with only one line?'

Mythic: if you're new you can change your username to something else in the setting. Most guys here do that.

Ryan : why?

Mythic : it keeps the mystery of item selling (laugh) (laugh). It wasn't for keeping yourself from getting cursed or something, but most travellers do this to remember their real world by making their nickname related to it.

Mythic :Some also chose to make a nickname from their current world, so that people can find them quickly if they want to get technology related from that world. You are new so have you entered any group yet?

Ryan : There's a group?

Mythic: you can create a group at tier 2. You can enter a group from others' invitation though if you're low in authority.

Ryan : I do want to enter a group. Is there a limit to groups you can join?

Mythic : there's none, but the admin may kick you out if you're not active in the group.

"Why does this remind me of discord?"

Ryan went to change his name first before continuing. He changed his name to 'Hydra is a bitch'. No spaces.

Hydra: Can I ask you something? Your serum is relatively precious, why is it so cheap?

Mythic:Ooh, are you from the marvel universe?

Hydra : Yes, I am.

Mythic : I agree with you that hydra is a bitch. My serum is not precious at all here. People can become a God in my universe. 3x the strength of man is like an ant here.

Mythic : I can make people have 10 tons of strength. No problem for that. But it's only the upper limit of your body. To get there, you need to exercise.

Hydra : damn man, here I was excited about the 3x strength.

It feels good chatting with Mythic, he is friendly and not condescending. Ryan feels a sense of kinship as Mythic was also scared when he first entered his universe. Mythic is a loner, before transmigrating , and also after.

It is only when he enters the chat group from other dimensions that it saves him by knowing there's someone else who went through the same thing he did. Otherwise, he'll go insane. His world is crazy dangerous! Even more so than the Marvel Universe.

Mythic: If you have time, talk to the post-apocalypse survivor, most who travelled there almost lose their mind.

For the first time in his transmigration,he is glad to be in the Marvel-verse. He can't imagine the day you need to scavenge for food, roaming endlessly trying to find another person there.

Hydra : Have you met someone other than me from the Marvel-verse?

Mythic:Yeah I have, but I don't think you'll meet any of them in real life. As far as I know, there are no two transmigrator in the same universe. I'll send you the group invitation, there's someone from your similar universe there.

Ryan doesn't hesitate to enter the chat group.

HydraIsABitch: Hello there.

Ducking Zombie : General Kenobi!

TheDoctor: New Blood huh, come give me some blood

QueenElf : I hope the friendship of nature comes to you.

VampireKid: shouldn't I get the blood you crazy doctor. And @queenelf, that is so cringe. Anyway, welcome newbie!

Baal's ass: you're both crazy

Mythic : Where's mephisto?

VampireKid: he isn't online today. Said some bitches are in his house. Why are you looking?

Mythic: The newbie is in the same universe as him, as a senior, maybe he could give some advice.

Hydra : I don't mind if it's sometime later. Do you guys all get transmigrated?

TheDoctor: There's another name for the system. It's called the Transmigration Support Group. All broken people who are not special enough to become a protagonist are here.

Ryan took some time to get to know other members of his chat group. He also got some tips on how to get the best item, how to sell items more efficiently and tier level and corresponding skill and item level and many more.

Ryan is feeling elated today. After selling his art and antiquities as a fund, he got 1200 ts, more than he wished for. As Mythic says, art and antiquities sell more as they are irreplaceable in any universe.

TheDoctor gives him some recommendations on Marvel's life hack as he was an avid Marvel fan in his years. For him, he says that information gathering is very important in the world. That's why shields are always on people's asses.

The doctor : I can make a clone for you if you want to..

Hydra: Can you even trade clones here?

The doctor: you can, but you need to get to tier 2 or have someone on the inside, in this case, you have me.

Hydra: what world are you in doc? How can you create a clone?

The doctor: it's set like the Resident evil movie. T-virus and the sort. My world story has already ended. I have saved a few Umbrella's tech and upgraded it with other universes technology.

TheDoctor, transmigrated during the time of Resident Evil 2, has been living hellish life during the zombie era.Most of the time he used the trade site to buy food. It wasn't until Alice broke down the antidote for t-virus that he had a breather.

Before the end, he bought an artificial intelligence from a higher order universe, to hack into the red queen database, and got all of the umbrella technology. It's been 5 years since then. He has already taken over the world. Or more like, he needed to. Otherwise humanity will go extinct.

In the universe without higher order power, it's very easy for him to do that. Maybe because of the influence of Umbrellas, he likes to experiment with new things. But unlike them, he isn't genocidal.

TheDoctor : There's two types of clones I can sell you, one is an original type clone. You implant your memory in them, they'll become another you.

TheDoctor: Another one is just a modified body, no consciousness, so he can't take over or anything. His brain is controlled with a chip, in which you split your consciousness to control him. It's very taxing for the body. You need to learn parallel thinking from the magic universe to get it. At the same time go learn magic circuit skill, you can get tier 1 magic circuit in your level.

TheDoctor couldn't stop talking, VampireKid interrupted.

Vampire Kid: Here folk, you can see a prey is persuaded by the hunter. Doc, go use personal chat, you're bombarding the chat.

Mythic : Doc switch turns on again. (sigh) @Hydra you can make your own choices. You're new here. Although we sell stuff , it doesn't mean that we are profiteers. Just do whatever you're comfortable with.

He feels grateful to Mythic and the rest of the group. The unfamiliarity in this world gives him panic attacks sometimes. Not all reincarnator adapt quickly. Even more so for him as he is still locked up in the house, recovering and enduring a rehab period.

Ryan thanks all of them for their warm welcome. There's only a few minutes left for Ryan in the trading session. Ryan got an idea he needed to ask the doc.

Hydra : Doc, can the clones be kept in the inventory space?

The doctor: Type 1 cannot, type 2 can.

Hydra : why's that?

The doctor: Anything with a mind of their own couldn't be kept in the inventory after you took them out. That includes pets, monsters, artificial life forms and others.

Before ending, Ryan procure with Mythic some gene serum for next week's trade. All he did today was chat with others and learn their story. He got so absorbed that he didn't realise the time passed by. This is the first time in his trading session that he didn't buy anything!
