【May she continue to persevere in her struggle.】
May she always shine like this.
Outside the Game No Life company.
Lu Mian watched Mei's back as she walked away, then turned around and looked at Mebius who was still standing there.
But this girl had two big dark circles under her eyes and was extremely excited. She was holding a setting collection of Resident Evil in her arms, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Mian, who knew what Mebius was thinking, pretended to be ignorant with a bit of malicious intent at this time. He just looked at the other party gently without saying a word.
Only when he was about to show the snake its fur did he hold up the other's jade hand, chuckled and said softly:
"I see that Dr. Mobius seems to be very interested in this Resident Evil Setting Collection.
"As the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not take away what others like.' I hope Dr. Mobius will not blame me for being rude and take it with you."
After saying these words, he struck a perfect balance, being polite and also giving a hand to Mobius, who was originally a little shy.
Looking at Lu Mian, who seemed to be shining with the sun, Mebius narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a while, she suddenly took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe and hugged the former.
In response, Lu Mian blinked.
Hey guys, all you beautiful genius doctors in white coats start by throwing yourself into someone's arms, right?
Thinking of this, he very skillfully and naturally put one hand around her waist and the other around her back and held her in his arms.
"Although I don't know why I think so, I am sure that you are different, Mian. You are different from everyone else." Mebius didn't mind Lu Mian's actions. Her voice was very soft, like a whisper in a dream.
Lu Mian said nothing, but patted Mebius's jade back from time to time - just like a gentle and loving father coaxing his daughter to sleep.
There were some waves in my heart.
[You probably know how you are different from others in Mebius's eyes.]
[Just like you knew from the beginning that you were "God". ]
[From the moment you visited the trees and the sea as a god and left your name before them, your own status has been elevated. ]
[Although it is not perfect and not manifest, it is ultimately a person of God.]
[Can gods and mortals be the same? ]
[Now, you might be even more different.]
[With this thought in mind, you secretly hid your seal in the book that Mobius was holding, as a reward for the girl who was willing to embrace you.]
【As we all know, no one in the world can resist the wear and tear of time. 】
[Ordinary people can’t do it, and heroes can’t do it either. 】
[In your memory, the last person who tried to fight against the erosion of time was a righteous partner - in the end, he ended up being corrupted and twisted into a dirty old worm in the five hundred years of wasted time.]
[You don't want Mebius to lose her brilliance or even become ugly, so you give her "persistence" that is worthy of "infinity". I hope she can always stick to herself. Apart from that, I don't ask for anything else.]
【...】
[After happily sending off Mobius, who was almost coaxed to sleep by you, you turned back to the company, but unexpectedly ran into Alicia who was ignored. ]
[The girl has a flawless and sweet smile on her face. She shows you the Tailmon in her arms and says that she wants to stay in the Game No. 5 company for another day or two to develop a relationship with this little guy.]
[After hearing this, you smiled a gentle smile that you usually only showed to Alicia in front of you, and with a wave of your hand, you sent Tailmon to her, and then asked Velvet, who happened to be there, to see her off.]
[Before you finish your words, Wei Wei takes two steps forward and reaches out to lift Alicia up, but Alicia blocks her.]
[Alicea, who was very familiar with this process, indicated that she didn't need anyone to send her off happily, she could do it herself.]
[After saying this, he turned around, led Fatboy in one hand, and held Tailmon in the other, and walked away slowly. ]
[She really left in a very clean and tidy manner. It would be nice if her back view didn’t look as miserable as when she was kicked out…]
[When all the shining people of the Fire Moth have dispersed, you hold Weiwei in your arms and think about the internal structure of the Fire Moth. ]
[Kevin, Kosmo, Qianjie, Fu Hua, well, these warriors who can't reach the management level for the time being will be skipped for now.]
[Alicea, to be honest, she is more suitable to be painted with gold and worshipped than the leader. She is definitely more worthy of belief than those gods, Buddhas and the like.]
[Mebius, the big sister who pursues infinity and evolution, well, it’s better to let her have a love affair than to let her rule others. At least the latter is probably possible.]
[Mei, she is the only one among these people who has a little talent for "command". Anyway, if she were to lead the entire Fire Moth, she would not be able to replicate the magical operations of the Fire Moth's top leaders.]
【But it still seems to be not enough. 】
[If there is no good enough leader to lead, then the Fire Moths will likely have disagreements or inevitably encounter political chaos in the future development. ]
[In this situation, it would be even more troublesome to split into two factions, the radicals and the conservatives. ]
[But, forget it, since you cut fast enough, these problems are not what you need to worry about.]
[You just have to make sure that big question at the end of it all gets solved, and keep those stars in your eyes.]
-----------------
[After the brief but beautiful victory celebration, the bleak reality of life still has to go on. ]
【As time goes by, the world turns to the next page. 】
【Human civilization is still climbing the technological ladder. 】
[I have to say, their speed of technological advancement is indeed quite impressive.]
[During this period, you learned from Mei about some of the development plans and related research within the Fire Moth.]
[In addition to the "M-Origin" plan that is still under consideration by a certain Dr. Snake who wishes to remain anonymous, there are dozens of other plans within the Fire Moth.]
[Mei picked and chose among these plans, and showed you some that she thought were qualified, such as the "making anti-Honkai weapons driven by the Herrscher core" proposed by herself and the "integrating the DNA of Honkai beasts into humans in exchange for anti-Honkai power" proposed by Mebius. ]
[Although these plans are only in their infancy, they are enough to make your eyes light up. ]
[Isn't Mei's idea the "Key of God" plan that you are familiar with? The magical Void Ten Thousand Treasures, the Skyfire Suicide that can launch a powerful attack, etc., you are very familiar with this. ]
[And you also have a certain impression of the plan proposed by Mobius. It seems to be the "Fusion Warrior" plan, right? ]
[The old man Kevin and the old immortal Fu Hua that you are familiar with are both fusion warriors created by this plan. ]
[Okay, that’s good.]
[You confirmed to Mei several feasible plans that would definitely yield results based on your memory, but you did not go into more depth.]
[Because you also have problems to deal with. ]
[The research between you and Wei Erwei has inevitably encountered a bottleneck. After verification from many aspects, you found that the three seconds of ascension to godhood was the limit of what you could achieve with your mortal body.]
【But you have to do much more than that. 】
【You feel helpless about this. 】
[The mortal body cannot handle the huge flow of information, it will only be washed away by it and cause disorder and collapse. So do you want to participate in the Fusion Warrior Program to improve the strength of your body? ]
【It's a bit humorous. 】
【...】
[The bottleneck period regarding experiments and research has lasted for several months. You haven’t felt impatient or had any negative emotions, but you can’t help but think about related things all the time.]
[Finally, on another night when you inadvertently think of Otto and Kallen, you have a sudden inspiration.]
[Is it possible that the root cause of the bottleneck period is not physical strength, but... adaptability? ]
[Mortal flesh and blood cannot remain stable under the impact of a huge information flow, so what if it is a piece of cold iron? Will it also become disordered and collapse? ]
[If I abandon my flesh and blood body and use a mechanical body instead, is it possible to break through the bottleneck? ]
[Once this idea comes up, it can never be stopped. ]
[Otto has proven to you the feasibility of "Soul-to-Cold Steel". Now you just need to consider and verify whether this idea will be successful.]
-----------------
[…The research on mechanical ascension is going very smoothly, and data from all aspects show that this is completely superior to the practice of forcibly ascending to godhood with a mortal body.]
[The bottleneck that has been blocking you and Wei Erwei for months is about to be broken through so easily. It would be a lie to say that I am not happy.]
【However, you are not in a hurry to start related experiments. 】
[This is even worse than "using herself as an experiment" and it's really too difficult for Wei Wei. ]
[You don’t even dare to imagine how sad she must be when she is forced to “cut” you. ]
[The last person who had this experience, Otto, had nightmares for half a year and couldn't sleep without you watching over him every night.]
[You don't want to give up your plan, just like you didn't stop developing a cure for the Black Death because you felt sorry for Otto, so you have to do some psychological work for Vivi.]
[With this in mind, you found Weiwei, who you could tell was worried just by looking at her. ]
[Then, you chuckled and briefly told Weiwei about the "simulation" as if in a dream.]
[Faced with the dumbfounded genius girl who didn't question your intentions at all, your smile widened. ]
[When you experienced the first simulation, you did not expect that Otto and Kallen would cross countless worlds together just to meet you again, so you could only regard the separation between them as a parting of life and death. ]
[But now, you know that you, Otto, and Kallen will eventually meet again, and you also know that Velvet's talent is definitely not inferior to Otto's.]
[Therefore, what awaits you and those you cherish in this world is not a separation that is difficult to accept in any way.]
【But... maybe it's a reunion light years away. 】
[After repeated confirmation, the plan in your mind is actually very clear: to obtain the Herrscher of Knowledge's Herrscher Core or authority to create an absolutely fair and beautiful world, and then wait for the collapse to exterminate all mankind and then put their spirits into that world. This is the dream of saving the world.]
[Perhaps this behavior is not justified, but you are not doing this for the sake of some possible truth, goodness, and beauty.]
【You want to see a world that you envision, that's all. 】
[You are destined to be the villain, and you will bear all the blame. People just need to live in that beautiful dream. ]
【People who truly live will not criticize this dream which they think is a helpless solution.】
[Those “high-ranking officials” who were once high and mighty but can only get along with the people they look down upon on an equal footing in their dreams may hate this to the core and try every possible means to escape. ]
[Never mind them, it is better to say that a large part of the reason why you weave this big dream is to achieve this effect. ]
【The more unhappy they are, the more successful your plan will be. 】
[......If everyone is equal, everyone can have enough food and clothing, and live a smooth life, then life will definitely be better. ]
[In addition to the "Dream of Crossing the World" plan, you also have a plan to create a beautiful new world. 】
[When "humanity" completely disappears from the world, you will try to liberate all the "game" concepts contained in you, and then disrupt the underlying logic of the world's operation in order to rewrite the collapse into a harmless and efficient new energy, and plant the seeds of "light" in the hearts of people born in the new world. ]
[Even if we cannot make everyone good, we will not allow some scums who are difficult for ordinary people to understand to appear among the human race. ]
[Such a world should be very beautiful. You want to create it, but not just for its beauty. 】
[You would rather hope that people you care about like Wei Liwei can live in such a beautiful world. ]
[No matter what, you have a way out. Even death is just a means in your eyes now.]
[But Weiwei and the others have no choice but to sink into the world they live in. ]
[How long will it take to figure out a way to find you across this complex world? ]
[Can it be achieved by delaying until the end of the Herrscher? ]
[It's probably difficult. ]
[So, you have to ensure that Weiwei and the other shining ones have this future. ]
[As for whether they will choose to cross the complicated world to find you after experiencing life in the new world. 】
[You have high and low expectations for this. ]
[In this way, except for hiding the existence of "system" which is really hard to explain and understand, you openly confess everything to Weiwei, including your own thoughts.]
The night was high in the sky, and a deep blue hue filled the sky, like a huge wrinkled curtain.
The stars are twinkling, the moonlight is hazy, and the thin clouds are spread out like light ink, revealing some weak light.
On the rooftop of No Game No Life Company, Lu Mian and Wei Erwei sat side by side, enjoying the tranquility together in the night.
The slanting breeze brushed lightly through the two people's hair, making it messy. Besides the indescribable and inexplicable freshness, what was also swept up by the wind was their heartstrings.
"This is what the story goes like. My ability sounds really magical, right? What do you think? Do you believe me?" Lu Mian, who told Wei Erwei everything, had a smile as gentle as the moonlight on his face.
