I Show Off in the Gradient Game

You are one of the unlucky ones chosen to enter a survival game called the Gradient Game.

On the sea polluted by nuclear wastewater for a hundred years, a 'Ten-Day Carnival' feast is ...

149. Chapter 149 Reality 17 (Don’t Look Back)

The sun shone into the car, the green light came on, the business car stopped behind the black sedan, and the little girl was holding her mother's hand and skipping across the road with her schoolbag on her back.

"Jin Qing, why don't we be the one to change our destiny?"

"But we are just tiny ants. How can we stop a giant ship?"

"If we don't try, how will we know? The Inquisition has already sacrificed too many players in a year to close the dungeon. If we have a second way to prevent the dungeon from coming, we can avoid even more casualties."

Jin Qing held the phone, his eyes filled with gloomy emotions: "My master is called Xun, he is a retired soldier. He entered the game at that time and saved me, who was still a rookie at that time. He took me as his apprentice. I followed him for twelve years. I watched him come up with the same plan as yours with high spirits.

Later, I watched with my own eyes as his plan failed, and our Inquisition suffered an unprecedented blow and destruction. I should have died in that punishment brought down by the system, but he sacrificed his life to become who I am today.

Yi Li was stunned: "Why did it fail?"

"Don't try to change the future. These were the last words he told me before he died."

Jin Qing's voice was somewhat heavy: "You should understand what I mean, right? Our Tribunal has not yet recovered its vitality. It can no longer withstand a second failure."

"What if I want to give it a try?"

“Do you know the butterfly effect?”

"Know."

"You should understand that the moment you make a decision, your future has already been written. You won't know whether your change is good or bad. Perhaps, for now, the current choice is the safest."

"You may not understand now, but you will understand what I mean later."

Upon hearing this, Yi Li temporarily suppressed the thoughts that were about to arise in his mind.

She still needs to keep a low profile for now, and wait until she can move out and start her own business, then she can prove to Jin Qing that she might really succeed if she gives it a try.

After Jin Qing hung up the phone.

Xu Nuo, who had been sitting next to him and had always treated him as air, asked Jin Qing with some confusion.

"Boss, when did you have a master? That Xun is a veteran? Didn't they say Xun was a skinny and weak girl?"

Jin Qing glanced at Xu Nuo indifferently and said nothing.

Xu Nuo kept silent. If the boss didn't want to say anything, then don't say it.

But I was really curious and asked the boss why he lied to the girl.

Yili hung up the phone and looked at Xuezha: "Who is Xun?"

"Ah? Martyrdom? What kind of martyrdom?"

"Are you talking about that violent player who nearly blew up an island nation with a single shot?"

"Jin Qing said Xun was his master. What kind of person was he?"

"I don't know. That Xian disappeared long ago when the boss rose to prominence. No one knows what Xian looks like. I never thought that the boss is actually the apprentice of that violent player."

"Yeah, I heard Xun really likes to use her life-defining weapon, the Soul-Stirring Cannon, to blow up dungeons. She didn't pass dungeons by fighting, she just blew them up."

"How did she die?"

"That's not clear. Some say her cannon jammed and she was eaten by a monster before she could fire. After all, everyone was cursing her at that time.

They said that if it weren't for the Soul-Stirring Cannon, they would have been eaten by monsters long ago.

Others say that this person tried to sever the connection between the copy and reality, and was personally eliminated by Gradient Games.

After all, that's Gradient Games' livelihood. It's fine if they just bombard it with artillery, causing a lot of vulnerabilities, but they're trying to completely destroy their livelihood. Gradient Games definitely won't do that. "I say..."

As Yili listened to what Yanjin said, his thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Xuezha snapped his fingers in front of Yili and asked.

Yili came back to his senses: "Nothing, I was just curious and thought about it a little more."

"Yeah?"

"Alright, we've checked everything here. Yan Jin and I will take care of the child and take him away. You can wait for us in the car first."

Xue Zha was not polite when he heard that.

"Okay, I'll take Yili back to the car and wait for you."

Yili followed Xuezha away.

When he got into the car, Xuezha ate a popsicle and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Spring has just begun and the temperature is already rising. Xiaoli, you really don't want to eat popsicles?" Xuezha took out a small pudding from a bag of popsicles next to him and handed it to Yili.

"No, thank you."

Yi Li politely declined.

"Oh, I know the boss is very strict. You can try one secretly. I won't tell the boss."

Xue Zha winked at Yi Li.

Yili took the little pudding and was a little absent-minded.

Actually, she doesn't like ice cream very much.

Under Xuezha's expectation, Yili still ate it.

It's icy cool and has a milky flavor, which is really good.

Just after Yili took a bite, a strange memory suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Eat, eat, eat. Just eat."

The girl kicked the red-haired boy and threw the plastic bag of ice cream in her hand into his arms.

Sitting next to him was a quiet black-haired boy wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and black short-sleeved shirt and shorts. He sat there looking at the tablet in his hand, which showed a colorful stock chart.

"Are you investing in stocks? Here, your favorite food."

The girl pulled out a bag of popsicles from her bag and handed it to the boy with black glasses with a rather painful look on her face. "If I hadn't promised you last game that I'd treat you to popsicles after you successfully sealed the dungeon, I wouldn't have bought you these. Are you the engine? You need popsicles to cool down so badly."

"It's not that I don't want to eat anything else, it's just that ice cream is more cost-effective. If I want to eat something else, you can't afford it."

Bang!

"Say it again." The girl slapped the red-haired boy, looked at him fiercely and threatened.

"I was wrong, sister."

The red-haired boy immediately gave in.

The girl sat in the middle of the two men, a seat specially reserved for her.

"Sister, have some ice cream."

The red-haired boy opened the bag enthusiastically: "You're the one who's treating me, so you choose first."

The girl hummed and picked a small pudding: "Eat it."

"Come on, let's have a toast. Surviving a disaster will bring good fortune in the future! I'm going to buy a lottery ticket later, hahahaha."

The red-haired boy had just finished speaking when he was hit by the girl again.

"What nonsense are you talking about again? Pah, pah, pah. The word death is so unlucky, don't say it."

"Okay! Sis!"

The three people's ice cream touched each other, giving off a cool chill in the sunlight.

"Why don't you eat it? Is it not tasty? The ice cream has melted. Pudding melts easily."

Xue Zha's words woke up Yi Li, who had just lost his mind.

While Xuezha was muttering, he pulled out a few pieces of paper from the side and asked Yili to put them on the wooden stick of the little pudding. He also wiped the liquid that dripped on Yili's hand.

“It’s delicious, and tastes pretty good.”

Yi Li quickly finished it in two or three bites. It was so cold that she felt like her cheeks were about to be frozen to pieces.
