"Can't you put yourself in someone else's shoes before you speak?"

Wang Dian gasped as he watched his classmate Ye Qing carefully applying medicine to his wounds, and heard her caring words echoing in his ears, all of which stirred ripples in his heart.

Unable to resist, a blush crept onto the boy's ears.

"I...I did it for their own good."

Realizing he hadn't answered the other person's question yet, Wang Dian blushed and voiced his thoughts.

"What's so great about that? How can you expect parents to enroll their five- or six-year-old kids in interstellar labor programs? They're lucky they didn't beat you to death!"

Ye Qing was so disgusted by Wang Dian's lack of emotional intelligence that she almost poked him on the head with her finger.

He actually said that to his parents. If it were her, she would have slapped him across the face too.

"If I don't speak up, am I just supposed to wait for them to die? Huh!"

Wang Dian was in excruciating pain from Ye Qing's sudden and heavy blow. Although he was telling the truth, his words were so blunt and blunt, and he even said that if he didn't sign up, his whole family would die. Who could stand that?

"You're just asking for a beating." Ye Qing glared at him. "Everyone out there knows what's going on; nothing good is coming out of here!"

Don't be fooled by the overwhelming hype online about establishing some kind of friendship with aliens... if that were true, the news reports wouldn't be written like that.

Nowadays, people in Country H who still have a brain won't easily believe things on the internet.

Therefore, Wang Dian's advice to people to sign up voluntarily and even send their children was simply adding fuel to the fire.

If you want your head to split open, just say so!

"Then what do you suggest? Those children are so young. Are we just going to let them die in this disaster?"

Wang Dian was also anxious. After all, as a kindergarten teacher, he had spent so many days with these children, it was absolutely impossible for him not to have any feelings for them!

"I know this sounds harsh, but I don't have time, and I don't know how to persuade them!"

This feeling of helplessness—knowing it will happen but being completely unable to stop it—leads Wang Dian, who plays a kindergarten teacher, to fall into a long period of self-isolation after dropping the children off at home each day.

He couldn't think of any solution.

He even had terrible nightmares when he slept, while Ye Qing calmly watched him vent his emotions before speaking.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

Wang Dian didn't speak, and it was clear that he was still emotionally unstable.

However, he sensed that the other person was also unhappy, so he silently swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"It's not your fault that you can't persuade them. Don't think too highly of yourself. The tide of history will never stop because of one person's strength."

As Ye Qing spoke, she silently put away the medicine-applying tools in front of her, and added, "Our game mission is simply to help as many people as possible survive this disaster, not to try and stop it entirely."

"But... is it really impossible for us to stop it?"

Who knows? You can give it a try.

Seeing the other person's defiant look, Ye Qing suddenly sighed. She didn't deny his idea, but she still didn't think it would succeed.

In this game, most players are positioned as ordinary, unremarkable characters, and she is somewhat unsure of the game designers' intentions.

"By the way, have you... have you signed up yet? I heard there are a lot of people signing up this time, and they'll be screening a batch of people."

When Wang Dian was attacked, he was at the registration desk. A parent and child happened to be passing by, and the child greeted him. He then casually said that.

And that's how he got beaten up.

It seems some bystanders also accidentally kicked themselves in the process.

It's clear how much people disliked him for those words.

"I didn't register."

Suddenly, Ye Qing's words startled Wang Dian.

"Why?"

"I'm curious."

"curious?"

"I have never personally experienced the destruction of a planet."

"Are you crazy?"

Wang Dian stared wide-eyed at Ye Qing in disbelief, suddenly feeling as if he didn't recognize her.

How come this seemingly gentle girl speaks so...so coldly?

They won't even spare their own?

"No, anyway, I won't lose points if I don't finish this game. I've already accumulated over a hundred points in previous games, so I just want to do what I want in this game."

Ye Qing simply smiled at Wang Dian's doubts.

Looking at the swirling snow outside the window, she said, "When I was little, my grandmother told me that the planet she grew up on was destroyed in this way. Overnight, the insectoids crossed over, and my grandmother had only gone to another planet to learn some kung fu when her homeland was gone."

She used to talk to me often about her hometown. My grandmother was also a painter. She spent her whole life painting, painting the scenery of her hometown, painting the hometown in her memory and in her heart.

I didn't understand before...

This also broke the heart of an elderly person.

She once accompanied her grandmother as they looked at the devastated planet. At a young age, she cried and asked her grandmother why she had lied to her, how could she say that such an ugly planet was beautiful?

Her grandmother, on the day she passed away, was still thinking about the beautiful and vibrant planet she remembered.

【Qingqing, I think I've seen my hometown...】

...

Wow! I won!

Meanwhile, Mingmei was looking down at her phone in her room when Lu Xiaoyao's excited voice suddenly came through the thick wall and reached her ears.
