"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Zhou Ying explained: "There are five people on one track, and your trolley is about to run them over. But you can choose to go to another track where there is only one person. That's roughly the trolley problem. I might not remember the details very well."
"So, you're saying we should sacrifice an innocent person to save five others who were supposed to die?" Beya asked.
"More or less," Zhou Ying nodded.
Li Qianxia looked at the central king and was about to say something.
The Central King stopped her, saying first, "I understand your brother's choice and helplessness. To be honest, I admire him, but I'm a little angry. I'm sorry."
After Li Changzhou conquered the Four Seasons Star, he held the crown and could do whatever he wanted there, but he never went there even once.
This is enough to show that his attack on Four Seasons Star had nothing to do with his desire for conquest or bloodlust, but was simply a means of self-preservation in the game of value.
Li Qianxia's expression softened, but before she could speak, the Central King raised his wine glass and continued, "However, please understand that my father died at his hands, and I will definitely seek revenge."
"But if you die, the promise between my brother and you will end, and the center of Four Seasons Star will fall."
"...I will only contact your brother when I am confident."
"Mmm." Li Qianxia nodded.
"Why do you look at me with that expression that says I have no hope for the rest of my life?!" The Central King put down his wine glass.
"No, no, no!" Li Qianxia shook her head. "I think you're amazing."
"Stop talking, Qianxia." Beiya quickly pulled her back. "If you keep talking, I'm afraid she'll challenge you to a duel right here and now."
Li Qianxia pursed her lips.
Just then, they heard another piece of information.
"A quest, an Iron-level quest has appeared!" the Adventurer's Guild's waitress suddenly shouted excitedly.
The entire Adventurer's Guild fell silent, yet a surge of excitement simmered beneath the surface.
"What are the mission requirements?!" an orc adventurer exclaimed, his breath visible through his nostrils.
The waitress looked at the task list in her hand: "Repel the Earth Alliance and close the portal."
"Close the portal?"
"Why?"
"Isn't the kingdom planning to launch a large-scale invasion of Earth? Why is the Adventurers' Guild issuing this mission?"
"Another Iron-level mission!" Another waitress handed out a mission slip.
"What's going on today? Two Iron-level missions have appeared today, something we've never done before!"
"What are the mission details?!"
"Find Li Qianxia, the immortal who has infiltrated this world."
Li Qianxia quickly lowered her head.
"Is finding it all you need to do?!" Adventurers are very sensitive to the details of a quest.
"Yes," the waitress nodded.
