Originally, Zhu Zhuqing had intended to tell Su Xiaoqi her idea in the morning, but since he had been busy training, she never found the right moment to bring it up.
"If only Su Xiaoqi could come here. With his knowledge of our world, he could help me change the storyline more effectively. Plus, I wouldn't have to pretend to get along with those disgusting people."
The moment that thought crossed Zhu Zhuqing's mind, a system notification suddenly appeared in the chat group:
[System Notification: Plot Mission Triggered. Group member Zhu Zhuqing is about to enter the "Shrek Academy" arc. She may alter the storyline according to her own will—the greater the deviation from the original plot, the more points she will earn. One group member may be invited to assist with the mission.]
[Note: This is a long-term mission. Points will be awarded daily at midnight based on the day's deviation from the original plot. The invited group member may freely travel between the world of Douluo Dalu and their original world during the mission.]
The moment this prompt appeared, the chat group exploded with activity.
[Lu Linglong]: Just woke up and saw this notification—shocked me right out of my morning grumpiness! Zhuqing, how did you trigger this mission?[Zhu Zhuqing]: I'm not sure. I was just thinking about changing the storyline, and then it suddenly popped up.[Nami]: So that works? Once I get back to Cocoyashi Village, I'll try it too.[Lu Linglong]: That aside, even if the method's a bit different, Su Xiaoqi basically predicted this. Where is he? Still not up?[Zhu Zhuqing]: He went to take a shower.[Lu Linglong]: ???[Nami]: ???[Lu Linglong]: How do you know he went to shower? Don't tell me... you two were together last night? Did the chat group unlock travel permissions while I was asleep? Or did I just wake up wrong?[Nami]: Very suspicious. Something definitely happened between you two. Come clean—what exactly did you do last night while we weren't looking?![Zhu Zhuqing]: No, you misunderstood. He got up early to train—I just spoke with him.[Lu Linglong]: Where? I don't see any chat messages.[Nami]: Linglong, they were whispering in private messages, obviously. No wonder we didn't see it.
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red as she read their teasing messages. She had just made a normal comment—why were they reading so much into it?
[Su Xiaoqi]: Alright, that's enough, you two. I don't care if you tease me, but she's a girl—she'll get married one day. Don't make jokes like that.[Lu Linglong]: Oho~ getting all protective, are we? It's not like we said anything bad.[Nami]: Exactly. Yesterday, someone gave her a whole detailed explanation but only gave me a couple of lines. The double standard is very suspicious![Su Xiaoqi]: Alright, alright, I surrender. Whatever you want to know today, I'll answer in full, one by one. Happy now?[Nami]: No need. Your schedule's already been booked—I wouldn't dare get in the way.[Su Xiaoqi]: Huh? What do you mean?[Lu Linglong]: Don't play dumb. Zhuqing obviously invited you. It's not like she'd invite Gintoki, right? Speaking of that white-haired mophead, he's been silent—probably still asleep.[Sakata Gintoki]: Nonsense! Diligent Gintoki was up at 6 AM![Lu Linglong]: Sure, and I bet your eyes are still crusted shut with sleep gunk.[Sakata Gintoki]: No way! I just thoroughly washed my face![Nami]: See? He just exposed himself.[Sakata Gintoki]: You two traitors ganged up on me. Too cruel! But Gintoki-sama is generous—I'll let it slide. Zhuqing, I knew from the start that you were different from those two. You're going to invite me, right?[Zhu Zhuqing]: Sorry, I already have someone in mind.[Sakata Gintoki]: Noooo! My points! That's my only source of joy these days![Zhu Zhuqing]: Su Xiaoqi, do you have time today? You're familiar with my world, so I'd like to invite you to accompany me on this mission.[Lu Linglong]: What else would he be doing? Stop dancing around it, you two![Nami]: Exactly, just get to the point.[Su Xiaoqi]: I'm really grateful you'd invite me. But I'm not that strong yet—wouldn't I just hold you back?
Of course Su Xiaoqi was tempted. When he used to read webnovels, he came across tons of Douluo Dalu fanfics. Most of them were packed with flashy content, but the common thread? Everyone bashed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
Any story that followed Tang San's original route usually either got flamed by readers or just died off quickly.
But still, he had to make things clear with Zhu Zhuqing before jumping in.
[Zhu Zhuqing]: It's fine. I'll protect you.[Lu Linglong]: Awww~[Nami]: Excuse me, could you two please think of the rest of us?![Sakata Gintoki]: Gintoki no longer feels any motivation today...[Zhu Zhuqing]: No, wait, you've got it wrong. What I meant was—I don't mind if Su Xiaoqi slows me down. It's just temporary. One day, he'll be the strongest out of all of us.[Lu Linglong]: You know there's a saying: "The more you explain, the more suspicious it sounds." I'm shipping this couple—no doubt about it.[Nami]: What's 'shipping'?[Su Xiaoqi]: 'Shipping' means recognizing two people as a couple—like Lu Linglong and Zhang Chulan. By the way, Zhang Chulan is the male lead of The Outcast.[Lu Linglong]: Nonsense! I am not a couple with Zhang Chulan. Don't think I haven't watched The Outcast. I stayed up last night and already finished the first two seasons.[Lu Linglong]: In my current timeline, the Luotian Dajiao is still a month away. I don't even know Zhang Chulan yet. Stop slandering me![Su Xiaoqi]: That's called "using their own tricks against them." By the way, one question: how does the virginity mark look?[Lu Linglong]: AHHH! Don't you dare bring that up! Say it again and I'll block you![Nami]: What's going on?[Sakata Gintoki]: Gintoki has taken notes. Tonight, I'll be hiding under my blanket watching The Outcast.[Su Xiaoqi]: Don't worry—it's nothing. She's just emotionally damaged. Ignore her.[Su Xiaoqi]: @Zhu Zhuqing, I'll go change clothes and pack a few things. Once I'm ready, I'll message you.[Zhu Zhuqing]: Okay. I'll tidy up on my end as well.
After closing the chat group, Zhu Zhuqing went to wash her face again and adjusted her appearance. Now that she knew Su Xiaoqi would be arriving soon, she felt a bit nervous and uncertain.
On the other side, Su Xiaoqi casually changed into a clean T-shirt and workout pants. He didn't care much about fashion—comfort was what mattered.
Then he made a quick trip to the bank and retrieved several gold bars. Once he arrived in Douluo Dalu, he planned to exchange them for gold soul coins.
After all, they were called gold soul coins, so they were probably made of real gold.
Once everything was ready, Su Xiaoqi messaged Zhu Zhuqing in the chat group, telling her he was good to go at any time.
