The private room was quiet for a moment, and everyone was stunned.

"...I thought we would fight to the death." Li Qianxia was still in a daze.

Xiaoyue smiled and looked at her: "Xia, you'll only die if you don't fight."

Li Qianxia shivered and realized what was happening.

In today's world, it's not as simple as the saying "backwardness invites aggression." How long ago was it that the United States massacred Native Americans to seize land and enslaved Black people to grow cotton?

From individuals to the entire planet, anyone who dares to indulge in comfort will face the same fate as those who are weaker than others – even if others try to show them mercy, the game of value will not allow it.

When the Value Game first started, Yang Qinglan already understood this principle. She participated in the game several times a week, which is why they were always at the forefront of all players.

But in any case, not having to participate in the mission was a relief.

For most players who dislike fighting and lack strong instincts, this provides a glimmer of hope: as long as they strive to become immortals, they can live a comfortable life.

"If being a Human Immortal is 'graduation,' then what is an Earth Immortal?" Yang Qinglan seized the opportunity to ask.

"Hmm?" Xiaoyue peeled the kernels of some kind of fruit, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "What is a 'ground immortal'?"

Yang Qinglan gave Li Qianxia a wink.

—The Beauty Trap.

"Sister Xiaoyue~~" Li Qianxia hugged Xiaoyue's arm and said coquettishly.

Xiaoyue rubbed her legs together, swallowed hard, and looked conflicted. Then she made up her mind: "Fine! I'll just pay the fine later!"

"Sister Xiaoyue is the best~" Li Qianxia's voice was as sweet as honey.

Xiaoyue felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She fed Li Qianxia a nut and continued:

"Even immortals are divided into different classes. After 'graduation,' everyone's abilities are different. Some do nothing and can't do anything, so they can only live a life of idleness and waiting to die."

"Some people use their abilities to continue working hard and become Earth Immortals, owning their own career, which is called the 'Earth Realm'. In the 'Earth Realm', even if it's... well, that is, these are prohibited activities, and fines can't solve them."

"Even if the 'victor' can't do anything to a terrestrial immortal? That 'victor' is too cheap. It should be that celestial immortals can't do anything to terrestrial immortals, and there should be conditions, such as the terrestrial immortal's 'territory' being able to continue indefinitely. Celestial immortals who can't do anything to their 'territory' are the weaker type of celestial immortals."

“You guessed it yourselves!” Xiaoyue said, pointing at Yang Qinglan, proving that she had guessed correctly.

"Does that mean once we reach the Earth Immortal level, we can basically be completely laid off?" Li Qianxia asked, her eyes sparkling. "Anyway, if the 'winner' wants to deal with someone, whether they're an Earth Immortal or a Celestial Immortal, they can't escape, right? An Earth Immortal is enough!"

Li Changzhou was convinced.

He picked up a pistachio and threw it on his sister's forehead, scolding her, "Can't you keep trying and become a 'winner' yourself?"

The private room fell silent once again.

"...I really didn't expect that. That's the only one who won in the entire universe, in all of time, and in all of space," Li Qianxia said, scratching her forehead.

Xiaoyue laughed: "I think my investment in you has been worthwhile! I don't know about other planets, but Long Day is definitely the most promising planet for us on Earth!"

"Have you invested in us?" Li Changzhou asked, puzzled.

"You—this private room! This wine! This complimentary menu! This intelligence! And my body! Do you think just anyone can make an appointment with Xiaoyue?"

"So this is an investment," Li Qianxia realized.

Just as Xiaoyue was about to explode, she suddenly put on a listening expression. She stood up angrily and said, "I'm going to get busy! The train will arrive in half an hour, so hurry up and settle your accounts! Bye!"

The way they said "bye-bye" sounded like two nails.

Watching Xiaoyue leave, Li Qianxia looked away from the door and asked, "Did we make her angry?"

Yang Qinglan didn't answer. Instead, she asked Li Changzhou, "Do you want to be the 'winner'?"

“It’s not that I want to,” Li Changzhou replied. “It’s just that I will keep striving towards this goal until the ‘winner’ is born. If it’s useless to try, then it’s meaningless whether I want to or not.”

Snap!

Li Qianxia suddenly clasped her hands together, startling Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou.

She closed her eyes and prayed, "Future Li Ergou, no, future good brother, dear brother, if you really become the 'winner,' please save your current sister and pull me to the future. I will share wealth and honor with you!"

"......"

Li Qianxia lowered her hand and patted Li Changzhou's shoulder: "Ergou, it seems you've failed."

"Sanya, don't worry, even if I become the 'winner,' I won't drag you down with me." Li Changzhou took Li Qianxia's hand that was patting his shoulder and squeezed it—

Pinch it where it hurts!

"Ouch! It hurts! Let go! I was wrong, I was wrong, brother, brother!"

Amid Li Qianxia's pleas for mercy, Yang Qinglan laughed and said, "Perhaps it is because you must stay in the present and share hardships with your brother that he can become the 'winner' and enjoy wealth together in the future."

"Ding-dong~"

"Dear passengers, welcome back to the train. The train is traveling from the past to the present and is expected to arrive at the station in half an hour. Please complete your redemption within the specified time."

As Xiaoyue's voice came over the loudspeaker, the atmosphere in the private room eased.

"Let's settle the bill." Li Changzhou released Li Qianxia, ​​took out three menus, and handed them to his sister and Yang Qinglan respectively.

"You might consider completing the skills on your black card. You might encounter situations similar to Dragon Vein Suppression in the future, where you can only use skills." Yang Qinglan took a card.
