Book 5: Chapter 42:1: Void for Void, Part 1
He Who Knows Fate: Kal’tsit, Kal’tsit.
Kal’tsit: Doctor has explained everything. Should I also call you darling? And should there be kisses, hugs, and lifts?
He Who Knows Fate: I admit I was wrong. It won’t happen again.
Ding! Kal’tsit uploaded a video.
Upon opening the video, Chen Heng saw Doctor hanging in the air in a gloomy room, suspended by a rope and spinning continuously, much like a fan. Muffled noises came from her mouth; apparently, she had been gagged.
Furthermore, if Chen Heng saw right, the suspended Doctor was spinning increasingly faster.
He Who Knows Fate: I hope she is fine.
Kal’tsit: Huh?
He Who Knows Fate: It serves her right.
Magus of Flowers: After witnessing the whole process, I have something to say.
He Who Knows Fate: Shut up. If you don’t want to be muted for 24 hours, don’t say anything.
Magus of Flowers: I’ll shut up! I’ll shut up!
Workaholic Gil: Is this chat group usually this merry?
Solomon: It’s Glitter! I wouldn’t say there’s anything wrong with being merry. After all, once you join this group, life can be very easy unless there are special circumstances. The benefits are truly fantastic.
Magus of Flowers: It’s easy for you all who lounge around all day, unlike me, who’s always on a mission.
Solomon: That’s because you’re saving money to buy the fate-severing talisman. If you didn’t have that burden, you’d be even more idle than me.
King Wolffy: In this group, I just need to check in daily to enjoy an endless supply of lambs. This is simply too blissful. Those strange sheep from the Classic of Mountains and Seas are just too expensive; I can’t afford them at all. I can only occasionally take on manufacturing world commissions to accumulate points slowly.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Those sheep from the Classic of Mountains and Seas…they’re not just any mere sheep! What’s this about a manufacturing world commission?
King Wolffy: Ah! According to the association’s store, some tasks don’t require association members to complete. Also, the association members would be too busy for those missions. For those that can be solved with some special equipment, they give the blueprint to us, the special talents, and we’re responsible for manufacturing them.
God Sai: Can this be considered special care for special talents?
Lord of the White Night: Of course, it’s a good thing we have these special requests. Special talents like Wolffy wouldn’t be suitable for the other world missions.

In the afternoon:
Today is the last day of the seven days. Soon, I’ll be able to get ten association invitation letters and 1,000,000 points.
In the afternoon, Chen Heng calculated the time in his mind, waiting for Customer Service to contact him.
Chen Heng, your rewards have arrived. I’m sending them to you now. Please check them.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining ten association invitation letters and an Ability Fourth Awakening exchange voucher.
Erm…indeed as expected. These world consciousnesses like to play tricks like this.
“What’s the situation with this Ability Fourth Awakening exchange voucher? Where are my 1,000,000 points?”
Although Chen Heng guessed it was possible, he still had to question it.
I’m not taking the blame for this. It was your ancestor’s decision.
“Huh?”
Chen Heng was taken aback by Customer Service’s statement. How did my ancestor get involved in this situation?
In truth, 1,000,000 points aren’t anything much for the association. That’s just a drop in the ocean. However, your ancestor stated you shouldn’t squander money. He suggested the points should be used wisely and had your 1,000,000 points converted into an Ability Fourth Awakening exchange voucher.
“All right, then! After all, I intended to use these million points to exchange for the fourth ability awakening anyway,” Chen Heng admitted.
What else could he say? The ancestor is wise. The ancestor is strong. The ancestor has done a great job.
By the way, don’t fritter away the association invitation letters I sent you. They are valuable. Typically, administrators receive only one per month. You’re an exception.
“Are there any restrictions or requirements for inviting people outside of the association using these association invitation letters?”
There aren’t any. But those invited by association invitation letters have a seven-day probation period. This is something to note. In fact, those automatically invited to the association have a similar probation period, but it’s only one day.
“Probation period? What is that?”
Chen Heng had never heard of such a thing, nor had he heard anyone in the chat group mention it, so it was unfamiliar to him.
Haven’t I mentioned it to you before?
“Not at all.”
That’s just as well. It’s good that I didn’t tell you. But as an association administrator, you are entitled to know about it. Once you know, don’t spread it around. Try not to tell other people in the association. There’s no point in telling them anyway.
“Alright, tell me.”
The probation period starts the moment a member is invited. It lasts for one day for automatically invited members and seven days for those invited by an invitation letter. If a member demonstrates unacceptable behavior within seven days, like deceiving or scamming other members, the administrator can apply for sanctions against them. The severity of the punishment varies, depending on the severity of the offense, from a mute package to an account suspension. In serious cases, they might be kicked out of the association altogether.
“This must be the sanction power mentioned in the administrator’s guide.”
Yes, exactly. That’s it.
“But doesn’t the administrator’s guide say that sanctions can be applied against egregious association members only when all five administrators are present?”
I’ve already mentioned this is a special circumstance for the probation period. Special situations require special handling. But this is also a loophole. I will add this to the administrator’s guide later.
“So you’re the author of the administrator’s guide! No wonder! No one else could’ve come up with such a devious guide.”
Are you referring to the part where non-administrators can’t view the administrator’s guide, but the method for reporting administrators is only mentioned in the administrator’s guide?
“You’re aware of it, then.”
Of course. It was deliberate. After all, administrators are entitled to some privileges.
“Well done.”
Thank you for the compliment.
With his questions answered and the rewards collected, Chen Heng had no more use for Customer Service. The most important task now was to invite Sirin to the group.
Chen Heng took one invitation letter from the guild’s red packet system—nothing else. The red packet system of the guild was reliable and safe, with no time limit on redemption.
Carefully examining the association invitation letter in his hand, Chen Heng had to admit, if he did not know it was an invitation letter, he might have thrown it into the trash.
This invitation letter looked very simple. There were the words “Invitation Letter” on a white, hard, rectangular card. That was all. However, Chen Heng could not make out what material it was made of.
Although the invitation letter looked simple, it was indeed precious. Currently, only Chen Heng possessed invitation letters in the association.
