"A slave to desire?"
The pen broke at Chu Shangli's fingertips——
She understood what the Cheshire Cat said.
"In other words, does your mother herself want to be the master of the empire?"
“It should be like this—”
Even though I can't see the Cheshire Cat's face, I can still hear its leisurely breathing——
However, there seems to be a sense of helplessness in this leisure.
"But perhaps there's something beyond ambition—and yet, I don't understand it. Because—even though I have the data, it doesn't represent the human heart. It's more like possessing the data, but not being able to read the human heart—just like someone inside a situation can't see the big picture. It's two sides of the same coin, like a puzzle—its flaws are its strengths, and its strengths are also its flaws. When you're caught up in a grand narrative, you lose sight of the minutiae. And even if you do, it's easy to overlook them."
"..." Chu Shangli thought for a moment and asked, "Did your mother succeed?"
"That's exactly it." The Cheshire Cat said calmly, "I think she failed—but maybe she succeeded. If she even controls the future, how can we judge her as a failure? Perhaps the future now is the future she wants—"
She paused briefly and asked softly, "If I showed you the schedule now, would you still be so flustered?"
"I don't think so—but I don't want to make any promises in advance. Perhaps there are details that could break my spirit, details I haven't noticed before—"
"A wise answer. I was originally going to play a prank on you and make fun of you—but, it seems that although your abilities aren't as good as Miss Chu Moyin's, your comprehension abilities aren't inferior to hers. In other words, if Miss Chu Moyin has a very high upper limit and a high basic ability value, you can continuously increase your upper limit, and at the same time, the ability value currently being measured will quickly grow to the same level as the increased upper limit. Killing a monster is definitely much easier for Miss Chu Moyin than for you, but the experience points you gain from killing a monster are quite high, and your level increases very quickly—it's like Miss Chu Moyin starting at level 99 and starting at level 1 and then leveling up to level 40 in a single day."
There was the sound of a keyboard from the other side.
Is she using the computer?
No, maybe she was deliberately misleading herself——
There are so many silent keyboards to choose from, but I deliberately chose such a crisp keyboard - although it can be explained as personal preference, it is difficult to explain it simply as personal preference -
So, the keyboard sounds coming now, to be more precise, are actually—
She sounds like she's using a computer keyboard, she wishes she knew she was using a keyboard, or she thinks she's using a computer keyboard—
Small details may not be meaningful, but Chu Shangli also knows that many times it is these small details that determine success or failure.
The schedule popped up on the screen again.
Chu Shangli held his breath, but his heart was still pounding.
Ink stains and mosaics, the black blocks are quite obvious - so obvious that they are a bit glaring.
"I guess you might think that I was the one who blocked the data—however, that's not true. I didn't tamper with the data. This is my minimum sincerity. Those black blocks have existed since the beginning—"
The cursor on the screen was shaking, pointing at the data set beside Chu Shangli——
"This part was suddenly available for viewing a few days ago."
"Hasn't it always been like this?" Chu Shangli was a little shocked——
"If it has always existed, then surely we must have known each other much earlier, right?"
