Ever since traveling to the world of Higurashi, Fang Zheng has been thinking about a question.

That is, what can one get in this world?

Hinamizawa syndrome?

The consequences of this virus are indeed terrible, but... as a Zerg, I am not afraid of this.

So... is it trust? Fang Zheng had thought so before, but then he felt that it was unreliable. The reason was simple. He was not familiar with Rena and the others, and they had only been together for more than a month. You are talking about trust with me? If Fang Zheng had never read "Higurashi no Uta". Then there would be no trust at all.

But now, seeing Rena confessing her love to him, Fang Zheng suddenly thought of something.

Since he came into this world, he seems to have been making choices all the time!

At first, Fang Zheng was quite free in this world, doing whatever he wanted. But after having that dream, he seemed to have lost his composure, and then, as if it was set, choices began to appear in front of Fang Zheng. And these were all single-choice questions, either A or B. For example, when Rena killed Shion and Keiichi and Rika asked for help, Fang Zheng had to choose one, and then, Rena confessed to him in the same way. On the surface, he seemed to have only two choices: agree or not, but...

Why is it a multiple choice question?

Take Rena for example. It doesn't matter whether Fang Zheng agrees or not. If he wants, he can just kidnap Rena and put her in a locked room or something. It's not difficult at all. No matter how powerful Rena is, she is still a human being and can't compare to Fang Zheng.

As for these protagonists, if Fang Zheng didn't want to play around, he could just knock them all out, and then use a spell to bury the Irie Research Institute and Takano Sanshi, and then tell the public that it was a mountain torrent and mudslide, then nothing would happen, right?

So, what on earth is he going to do?!

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly became enlightened. He finally understood what the "ultimate problem" this world had posed to him was.

That is, what does he want to do?

So far, Fang Zheng has traveled through several worlds, Diablo, Dark Soul, and Edge of Tomorrow. In these three worlds, Fang Zheng seems to have been seeking power. In the world of Diablo, he only considers survival, while in the world of Edge of Tomorrow, he hopes to gain power. For him, Dark Soul is a place to hone his skills.

But in fact, Fang Zheng went to every world because he was forced by the situation.

Going to the dark world is to escape the pursuit of the Knights Templar.

And going to Edge of Tomorrow is to escape from the dimensional gap.

I went to Dark Souls because I wasn't strong enough.

It can be said that most of these times of traveling were not initiated by Fang Zheng, but were all passive choices. After arriving in those two worlds, Fang Zheng just went with the flow. Once he only thought about how to survive, and once he only thought about how to complete the mission.

He is like an office worker, punching in, going to work, and then the boss assigns tasks, completing them, getting salary, bonuses, and promotions. Then he repeats this process, and when he can lead a team, he starts to have more work and higher goals.

But was that his goal? To make a game, a popular game, a game that would make a lot of money?

These are the company's goals, performance, reports, and earnings. These are the company's goals, but not Fang Zheng's personal goals.

Just like what is said in many inspirational quotations, when you are doing the same repetitive work in the city, have you ever thought about the meaning of life? What is the purpose of your life?

Faced with this kind of question, most people would be dismissive. After all, I’m so poor that I can barely survive, and I still have 30 years of mortgage to pay off. I’ll wait until I can survive and then think about the answer to this question...assuming I don’t die from overwork before then.

As for the meaning of life? Just leave it to those who are willing to think about it!

What do I want?

Looking at Rena in front of him, Fang Zheng was thinking about this question. At this moment, he felt as if the whole world had stopped moving.

Power, I want power.

This is natural, the reason why people live is for power. Money, status, power, violence, humans are always eager to obtain all of these, but what is the purpose of obtaining these?

Live a better life, but then what?

Furuto Rika has been reincarnated for a hundred years, just hoping to break free from it all and gain freedom. This is quite similar to himself. In the main world, even if he has great power, he has to act according to the rules. From this point of view, he is no different from Furuto Rika, both of them hope to get rid of it all.

However, Rika Furude has a clear goal. She just wants to survive this June, grow up, and live a happy life with others.

And what about Fang Zheng?

Why does he travel through world after world to gain power?

wrong!

Think about it again, in his original world, why did he work overtime day and night and get promoted?

Bonus? High salary? Position?

No, no, no, these are just means, not ends.

That's right, the reason why he worked day and night was to make the game he liked, preferably the kind of game that players had to play while vomiting blood and cursing. And this kind of thing was impossible when he was just an ordinary employee. To do this, he must upgrade his position, gain more power, and it would be best if he could control or create a company! And it would be best if he could have countless wealth!

In this way, he can make whatever games he wants, without worrying about reputation, market, losses, or media nagging. I spend my own money, invest, make them, play them, and release them to you. If you want to play them, you can play them. If you don't want to play them, you can get out of here. Anyway, the world is so big, if you don't want to play them, there are plenty of people who do. If I'm desperate, I'll just release them for free. Then, won't there be plenty of players kneeling down and calling me daddy?

Be rich and be willful!

And all this is because... I am happy!!

"boom!!"

Until this moment, Fang Zheng felt as if he had finally figured something out. His body trembled suddenly, and then Fang Zheng felt that the feeling that the whole world was restraining him had completely disappeared. At this moment, he even felt as if his mind had been completely liberated. He was not so worried about Rena in front of him. Even though she was in the "blackening" stage and would use a hatchet on Fang Zheng if they didn't agree with her, he didn't think Rena was scary. Instead, he thought the blackening of this little girl was quite cute.

It felt as if Fang Zheng had returned to his own world again, watching their stories and their lives through the screen... No!

The audience will feel sad and angry for the suffering of these characters, but they can't do anything but vent their anger on the bullet screen. Perhaps because of this, they feel that these characters are pitiful and sad. But Fang Zheng is different. He has power. He can watch the animation outside the screen, but if he is not happy with it, he can jump into the screen and slap the villain in the face.

I just don't like you, so what! Don't accept it? If you don't accept it, come and fight!

"teacher?"

Seeing that Fang Zheng did not answer her question for a long time, Rena asked again. At the same time, the darkness in her eyes became darker.

"Don't you like Reina?"

"No, you're cute."

This time, in response to Rena's question, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then reached out and patted Rena's little head.

"Actually, I quite like you, but... well, I haven't thought about dating a child yet. Maybe I can consider it after you go to high school?"

By the way, in the story world of "Higurashi When They Cry", Rena is 15 years old and in the third grade of junior high school.

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Rena's originally dull eyes began to light up again, and Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course, but... I may not be able to stay here for too long, so I can't give you any answers. When you are mentally prepared, come to me again, and then I will tell you everything about me."
