Chapter 60: Page 60

But I don’t know which sentence or which word in the conversation was wrong, but it made Qianjie, who was wearing only a single layer of clothes in the snow and looked fine, shiver violently.

So he did not stop, but just kept moving forward like a bird without feet, without looking back.

Leon scratched his head, not knowing what he had said wrong. Having a premonition that he would meet Qianjie again, he did not stay for long and turned around to walk in the opposite direction where Qianjie was going.

The beautiful sunset shines on the vast land, and the light and shadow clearly divide the land into two halves.

Lyon walked towards home in the warm light of the setting sun; Qianjie followed the shadows and the gradual night into an unknown direction.

[Leon returned to the No Game No Life Company without deliberately hiding his tracks. ]

[But the fire-chasing moth that followed him all the way did not know his real whereabouts in the end, and could only classify him as "disappeared from the face of the earth."]

[At this, both Alicia, Mobius, and Mei were all surprisingly surprised. ]

[Because they saw with their own eyes on the surveillance footage that Leon had returned to your company, not that he had disappeared for no reason.]

【What happened? 】

[This is naturally your work.]

[When you transformed the company headquarters into a safe house that is invulnerable to the Lawbreakers, unaffected by the Collapse, and cannot be destroyed by external forces, you added a layer of cognitive impairment to prevent it from being too mysterious and causing too much trouble to you and the people you care about.]

[All irrelevant "NPCs" will subconsciously ignore and stay away from the Game Life Company. 】

[As for those shining people who are not outsiders, they are not affected by this at all. ]

[On the other hand, the situation on Qianjie's side, who is going the other way from Leon, is not very clear. ]

Chapter 20: Fairy Lady's Great Victory~? (Two in One)

[With the protection of the No Game No Life Company and you, Leon instantly escaped from the sight of the Fire Moth. ]

[However, Qianjie, who fought against the Herrscher of Ice together with Leon and showed a certain strength, was not so lucky. Before he could really walk far, he ran into the special forces of the Fire Chaser Moth: Alicia and Kevin. ]

[Alicea is mainly responsible for using love to influence Qianjie, who has not yet become her friend.]

[Kevin, wearing sunglasses that did not match his current sunny temperament, stood aside without saying anything or making any threats, only using force to protect the opponent.]

[After a series of strong and soft attacks, the two of them managed to turn Qianjie, who was already a rookie and had just been hit by Leon's true heart into a vulnerable state, back into the Fire Chaser Moth.]

[On the other side, another team sent by the Fire Moth also successfully recovered the Ice Herrscher and the Herrscher core in his body. ]

[Regarding this Herrscher Core, Leon actually asked you if you wanted to take it back to the company.]

But you refused.

[On the one hand, you know that human civilization needs the Herrscher Core, and you are willing to leave the Herrscher Core to them to see what kind of waves they can make in the face of collapse.]

[You will not feel the slightest bit disappointed with them no matter what shameless actions they take; but you sincerely hope that they can truly show you the struggle and persistence that belongs to human beings.]

You allow everything to happen and wait for some beautiful and pleasant possibilities.

[On the other hand, apart from the Herrscher core or Herrscher authority needed for "Dreamweaver", your plan does not use the power of the Herrscher or even the power of Honkai at all.]

[You fundamentally disagree with using the power of the Honkai side to fight the Honkai side.]

[Because you are standing too high, your vision is too high, your talent and experience have led to this inevitable result. ]

[The experience of facing the "trees" and the "sea" makes this "height" no longer an unattainable castle in the air. 】

[You hope to outline a beautiful dream for people struggling in the sea of ​​suffering, but it is extremely difficult to wake up from it.]

[In that dream, everyone is equal, equality in the true sense, there will never be oppression again, everyone will be paid for their work, the sick will be treated, the elderly will be taken care of, and the weak will be supported.]

So you have to look down on the entire human population.

[You dream of creating a new world with your own hands. Although it is not as ideal as the dream of crossing the world, it can still be called an ideal world. ]

[Humans will not completely abandon the existence of evil, but the goodness buried deep in their hearts must be ten or a hundred times greater than the evil. Naturally, there will no longer be an existence that puts the entire world and the human civilization above the world on the gambling table for personal gain.]

So you have to rise above the world you live in.

【There is nothing wrong with this. 】

[If not, do you want a "third pole" like you who barely showed up in front of the Imaginary Number Tree and the Quantum Sea to play with the power of the Honkai Impact Sphere and its research? ]

What do they think of you?

[Just thinking about it brings out a sense of humor. ]

【...】

[With the death of the Ice Herrscher and the recovery of his corpse and Herrscher Core, the fifth collapse officially came to an end.]

[Although it also caused a huge impact visible to the naked eye on the entire world map, at least this time the Herrscher of Ice was unable to pull the atmosphere away from the earth like the Herrscher of Wind did before, so it can be considered a success.]

[People who had been suppressed for a whole year did not dare to get carried away, but they still opened a little champagne. ]

【Win, you can win! 】

[At the same time, the issue of human warriors’ physical strength and their own combat effectiveness has aroused heated discussions throughout society. ]

[If every warrior can kick the Herrscher into a brain entanglement with two kicks like Leon and Qianjie, why should we worry that humans cannot defeat Honkai? ]

[But the human body has its limits after all. Even if you train a person to the point of muscle dissolution, it is unlikely that they will be able to match Leon and Qianjie.]

[So, how can we improve the physical fitness of human warriors so that they can fight against the Herrscher? ]

[As the saying goes, among all the considerations, one will surely come up with a solution. ]

[The inspiration and discussion generated during the exchange greatly inspired some geniuses who already had related ideas in this regard.]

[But this intense collision of inspiration and discussion is too sharp, directly touching the bottom line and pain points that some people are unwilling to face. ]

【With books, it is long; without books, it is short. 】

[Not to mention that people take the moral high ground to criticize everything or the confrontation between the two armies that actually consider the survival of mankind, which will once again lead to the cumbersome matter of party unity and fighting against dissidents.]

[Even the internal handling of Qianjie within the Fire Moth is an issue that must be discussed.]

[The group of high-ranking officials who had previously chosen to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers in the hope of profiting from it believed that giving such a powerful individual freedom was not conducive to governance and stability. If this power could not be used by them, it would be better to lock him up directly.]

[After hearing their decision, Mei gently pushed up her glasses, with an expression that was unclear whether it was bright or dark.]

[Alicea gently caressed Fat Keding and smiled softly, her smile was vague. ]

[At this moment, she was thinking about when to take Fat Ke Ding back to "home" so that the little guy would not really lose his father. She did not want to listen to any more of the other high-level discussions.]

[At this moment, Mebius, who had always held the attitude of "I don't want to say anything more to you, you don't deserve to listen" towards the other senior executives, stood up, pointed his index finger, and scolded the senior executives one by one. ]

[She is now receiving strong financial support from you, a top financial sponsor. She has sufficient funds and confidence, so she naturally doesn’t need to worry about anything.]

[In addition, I also had new ideas forming in my mind, but I was disgusted by many moral role models, and I was filled with anger.]

[In short, Mebius thought that if she didn't take advantage of this situation to release the negative emotions that were pent up in her heart, she would probably lose her hair soon.]

[She didn’t want to wait until later to research some weird stuff like “Snake Brand Hair Tonic”.]

The Fire Moth high-level meeting room.

After enjoying the circle attack without uttering a single curse word, Mobius panted lightly, shook his light green fragrant hair which he had rarely washed because of Lu Mian, and turned and left as if nothing had happened.

Only a graceful and elegant back and a very bland conclusion were left behind:

"You are willing to accomplish great things but cherish your body, and lose sight of right and wrong for small gains. You hesitate and waver, and are truly unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility. You have greatly disappointed the world. I feel deeply ashamed to be a moth chasing after the fire like all of you. Deeply ashamed!"

No matter what she said, she just felt good about scolding.

Go back and do your research happily, and bring your good mood into work.

Plan passes.

The Fire Moth executives, whose brains had crashed due to the organized attack, looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They wanted to refute something, but what Mebius said was so reasonable that they could not find any reason to refute it.

Mei, who was standing by, watched Mebius leave, stood up and left without saying a word, making her intention clear with her actions:

Dr. Mobius scolded a group of incompetent senior executives, but he is actually an indispensable pillar of the Fire Moth!

Alicia, who had not expressed any opinion during the whole process, was still thinking about taking the child home. She followed Mei away absent-mindedly without caring whether the meeting was over or not.

[The discussion about Qianjie's placement ended with a joint statement from Mebius, Mei, Alicia, and Kevin, who is very likely to join. Qianjie finally joined the Fire Moth as a new recruit.]

[No matter what the process is, the result is always good. ]

[As for Qianjie himself, he was a quiet man and did not comment on his new recruit status. He did not think about leaving the Fire Moth, but just adapted to it.]

[Except that I often think of a certain blond man with a sunny smile, it's OK. ]

-----------------

[Just like ordinary people always have to have a good meal during the Chinese New Year, after humans successfully survived a major collapse and defeated the Herrscher, the Fire Moths would also hold a celebration dance. ]

【Celebrate the achievements of the living; offer sacrifices to the spirits of the dead. 】

[The name of the dance is also very simple: Newcomers' Dance. ]

[After all, a considerable number of the Fire Moth warriors are survivors of a certain Great Honkai outbreak...]

[This Newcomer Dance corresponds exactly to the number of times the Collapse has occurred. At this time, humanity has survived the fifth Collapse, and this Newcomer Dance is the fifth Newcomer Dance. ]

[Even though they were in the same organization, people who didn’t usually get together gathered together for the first time, enjoying victory and the rare leisure and peace.]

[The feast was filled with joy, and the lights flickered like a dream. ]

[Alicea attended the banquet in a luxurious dress, but she did not wander around the banquet and stir up everyone's emotions like before. ]

[She lay on the table and gently shook the wine glass in her hand. With the help of the bright rays of light from the golden chandelier and the fine red wine, she could see everyone's figures, but she sighed softly.]

[She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly felt that it was more interesting to watch the business war beside you than to stay in this noisy party.]

[Laughing softly at the thought that suddenly came to her mind, Alicia took out her phone without much hope and sent you a few more messages. ]

[She said she had a great idea: to have a small social gathering with the shining people in the Fire Moth and the Game Life Company.]

【Now this idea needs a supporter, a crucial supporter. 】

After merging and sending several messages, Alicia turned off the screen of her mobile phone, held it in her hand, and fiddled with it over and over again - as if she was expecting something, as if she was afraid of something.

She thought she could get used to rejection after having been rejected so many times, but she couldn't do it.

Only, only Lu Mian...

After a while, the phone vibrated slightly, and the off screen lit up again, emitting fluorescent light.

Knowing that it was a response, Alicia looked a little solemn and carefully pointed the phone screen towards herself.

I saw that the information on the screen was very blurry and could not be seen clearly at all.

This confidentiality system doesn't seem to be used much normally, but it's so frustrating at the critical moment. It's really...

Suppressing the anger and speechlessness in her heart, Alysia unlocked the screen resigned to her fate, and only then did she see Lu Mian's response:

"That's really your style, Ellie. The door to No Game No Life will always be open to you, even though you fired me as your boss."

He, he agreed?!

[Regarding Alicia, no matter what she said, you are willing to think carefully. ]

【But that’s all. 】

[If Alicia wants to come to your company alone or with Pancake, you might consider how to refuse.]

[But now Alicia is talking about bringing "the shining people among the fire moths" to your company to hold a social gathering. ]

[You want to see if these shining people still shine in your eyes, and you also want to see them shine together.]

[In this case, it's not surprising that he agreed to Alicia's idea, right? ]

Ailicia had no idea what Lu Mian was thinking, nor did she know that her idea had accidentally hit Lu Mian's needs.

She only knew that she was happy now, very happy.

In an instant, the girl regained her former agility, picked up the real pink fairy lady who was still chewing an apple, and immediately started a hasty mobilization.

"Alicia, I'm not interested in studying hair toner at the moment, so I warn you to let go of my hair now." This was Mobius who unexpectedly resisted studying the "Snake" brand hair toner.

After learning that they were going to organize a group to go to Lu Mian's company for team building, her attitude changed:

"Go for a while, yeah, it's not impossible.

"But let me make it clear in advance, it's you who wanted to see Lu Mian so badly that you had to drag me along to cover for you, okay? Hey! What's that expression on your face?!"
