Chapter 221 The starting point for happiness and a fulfilling life is the ending...

"Can't you two have any self-awareness?"

He Yuan looked at them and said, "Big brother, don't laugh at second brother. You know what you've done."

The pharmacist and Aha were both perverts he had personally experienced.

After three years of intense grinding, He Yuan's skill level has almost reached the game's limit.

The rules do not yet open up a path for players to become Star Gods, and there are also attribute caps. In addition, the development time is infinitely extended. According to the development team's plan, the next stage will probably be released when the number of players who are "idling" is full.

He Yuan couldn't wait until that stage; he had to resolve the trouble as soon as possible so he could play the game in peace.

To be honest, whether the universe is destroyed or not has absolutely nothing to do with him; it's just a string of data. Anyway, he can still reload his save and enjoy romance.

However, during her conversation with Danfeng, Heyuan noticed a change in her mindset.

If he were in the past, his choices and development would be different, but he didn't have those abilities back then and was stuck with only a few options.

The change in his mindset also gave him a different perspective on things, and he was able to let go of the past a little.

But there's only a little left.

Initially, he came to the game hoping for a relaxed, enjoyable gaming experience, happy romance, and a carefree life. After all, there are too many worries in real life, and he needed to use games to unwind.

He never imagined things would turn out this way.

Just like at the beginning, he also thought he would never have anything to do with the Star God.

Back then, the Star Gods were unattainable figures, both on forums and in games.

He has two around him now, and he has met several others in the past few years.

As He Yuan sat on the starship bound for Onfaros, she felt as if she had been transported to another world.

Before they knew it, they had accumulated so many memories.

There are so many that he struggles every day to decide who to choose.

During the game, the development team also added a companion system.

Players can choose their favorite completed guides to accompany them throughout the day, some of which offer special attribute bonuses.

For example, choosing Jing Yuan will grant bonuses in areas such as [Knowledge] and [Martial Prowess].

But He Yuan's favorite targets are Lan and the Pharmacist. One provides healing attribute bonuses, and the other provides combat attribute bonuses, which encompasses almost all the attributes he needs.

No wonder Aha dislikes the pharmacist, and no wonder the pharmacist feels like he's just a tool.

After all, the companionship system is all about "companionship." He Yuan went to grind for attributes on her own, leaving the pharmacist and Lan aside. If they were disturbed, He Yuan would scold them.

Upon hearing this, Aha was filled with grief and indignation: "Pharmacist, you want far too much!"

Don't they know there are far more monks than porridge? He can secure a permanent companion position, and all the other star gods must be incredibly envious.

The pharmacist also felt wronged.

He could only watch helplessly, without even a kiss or a hug, which made him even more envious than nothing at all.

I don't know how Lan managed to hold it in.

Aha chuckled, "He's holding back? He must have been secretly doing something."

The pharmacist definitely did it, but for the sake of his image, he certainly wouldn't say it.

On the way to Onfaros, Crane chose to take Aha and the apothecary with her.

When forming a team, you need to bring a reliable healer. As for combat power, we have two geniuses and a company, so we don't need to worry too much. Moreover, He Yuan herself is also a strong fighter, so there shouldn't be any major problems in that regard.

Meanwhile, Pinocchio's latest quarterly revenue report also arrived.

When the Star Train was about to leave Pinocene, Mikhail and his two companions chose to stay. Whatever their reasons, they were willing to stay and help Pinocene connect with the galaxy.

The company wanted to help, but the trio and Hanunu refused.

At the same time, the person who had the dream was also invited over.

Pioneer does not reject any destiny, as long as it benefits the people of Pinocchio.

—The company is an exception. Mainly because of the previous rivalry, and the fact that accepting investment makes it easy for them to be infiltrated.

After reviewing the report, He Yuan wrote down the areas that needed improvement.

The starship arrived at Onphalos just then. He put down his pen and looked at the battlefield he was about to face.

Onpharos.

None of the Star Gods in this data set are innocent.

Memory, knowledge, and destruction—the three elements check and balance each other, yet also attack one another.

Compared to the previous two, destruction was actually a light punishment. After all, Ragus surrendered to destruction willingly, while Nanuk would have to consider the consequences first.

Now, with memory held back by balance and intellect quietly awakened by the Crane Kite, the virus that had been hidden therein, neither of them can interfere with Onfaros's fate anymore.

Balance... Balance foresaw several possible outcomes for the end, and gave the crane and kite free rein to act.

Making the universe better is difficult, but making it worse is very easy.

So He chose to withdraw.

In any case, after the prosperity of the universe comes decline.

Onphalus is just a small factor on this path.

Its tamperers and guardians desperately hoped that this machine would devour the mind of the Venerable Master, extinguishing his intellect.

But the ancients forgot that wisdom had already anchored everything. Regardless of whether there was a crane or a kite, or whether the Iron Tomb could complete its process, the Venerable One of Broad Knowledge would remain unharmed.

Crane Kite's only remaining enemies are destruction and the Iron Tomb.

Using the Black Tower's simulated universe device, he stripped away the data belonging to Onfaros, leaving only the Iron Tomb.

As Rudraksha said, the Iron Tomb did not have its own head; the first thing it did after emerging was to find a matching head for itself.

The most suitable one is naturally the learned and knowledgeable one.

Unfortunately, Master Boshi did not come; it was Crane and Kite who came.

He then used the power of his intellect and destiny to attract the Iron Tomb, inducing it to devour him, and then, through countless probabilistic events, rolled the dice to determine the possibility of him taking over this body.

Once the head of the erudite monk is obtained, the Iron Tomb will become an army of annihilation, destroying all knowledge.

If we obtain Crane Kite's head, the Iron Tomb will become...

"It will become an ordinary computer."

The inability to become a Star God was previously a limitation due to the lack of game content updates, but now He Yuan isn't even a Commander; at best, she's just a very powerful ordinary person.

In a normal development, Iron Tomb would at least be an emperor of the third generation or something similar, but in Crane's case, he was downgraded and became a supercomputer.

Even because Crane Kite's mind was filled with love and romance, Iron Tomb couldn't integrate into it, and these emotions became a virus, completely destroying his autonomy.

After adjusting it a few times, He Yuan happily tossed it to the Immortal Boat Alliance fleet, along with that portion of [Destruction]'s golden blood.

Excellent, three years of hard work have paid off. The Qiong Guan Zhen formation will soon be upgraded to [Qiong Guan Zhen Promax]. The golden blood of destruction will be used to declare war, making the best use of it.

Meanwhile, Onpharos will gradually rise through the ranks in the Black Tower's simulated universe, becoming a renowned force in the galaxy under Crydella's leadership.

"And then? Where did he go?"

People kept asking.

"Later, the hero who orchestrated everything wandered the galaxy and became a seafaring knight."

He said he was fulfilling a friend's wish.

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

Author's note: This is just some of my own random thoughts.

I spent the latter half of this month basically unemployed at home, bearing social and family pressure, and constantly trying my best to do something well.

But I don't know if it's a common problem with long documents, but I lose my passion every time I open a document. I don't know what to write or how to develop the story. The once smooth and flowing plot starts to become choppy and incoherent. I can only write a few hundred words a day sitting in front of the computer.

As readers who have read my column know, my articles are usually between 200,000 and 400,000 words long. This book can be said to be an experiment that came to me on a whim.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

Unfortunately, I began to fall into anxiety and self-destructive behavior.

I don't mean to deny my past self, but the data from this book sometimes makes me wonder, "Am I really worthy?" My self-perception has always been at the level of writing Mary Sue riddles in elementary school, so getting accepted by Jinjiang Literature City was completely unexpected.

Fortunately, I met many friends and readers who encouraged me here. Several of them even read several of my novels, and they have witnessed my growth all the way.

The good news is that long novels are really tedious, and looking back at my past self, I feel a significant improvement.

The bad news is that I lack the ability to handle long pieces, and I also lack the ability to forcefully write decent articles.

Many of He Yuan's romances in his life were left untold. He was still full of energy, tireless, and always waiting for the next journey to begin, but I was tired.

I don't want the story to fall into clichés, and I don't want everyone's development to follow the same template, but it seems my skill level is limited. I can't write the feeling I want, and I don't even know what I want.

I've chosen to stop here out of laziness, hoping this short rest will allow the story to unfold better from here on out.

I feel fortunate to have met everyone, but I'm also sorry to have made you read a story whose ending is not yet fully written.

Next, I will gradually adjust my mindset and release the sequel episodes and the progress of each male guest as bonus episodes.

Thank you all for your continued support. I will be holding giveaways for several months, and I will also be giving away red envelopes.
