"Teacher Lu, what are you thinking about?" Lili asked with concern as she waved her hand in front of Lu Shi's eyes when she saw Lu Shi staring blankly at the TV.
"No, it's nothing." Lu Shi was still a little dazed.
Is the magical world really just a dream?
Why does it feel so real?
“Teacher Lu, Mr. Wang has heard about your situation. He’s coming to see you soon.” Lili stared intently at Lu Shi, observing her reaction.
"President Wang? The school's biggest boss? How could the departure of a mere teacher like me involve the big boss?" Lu Shi asked, puzzled. "Could it be because I almost died that he had a change of heart?"
No, how could capitalists have a conscience?
Having been brought back to life and returned to a familiar world, Lu Shi felt somewhat relieved.
"Shishi, are you kidding me?" A magnetic voice came from the doorway of the ward.
Lu Shi looked up and saw a man in his thirties standing there holding a bouquet of flowers.
The man, dressed in a bespoke suit, exuded the air of a successful person.
"President Wang," Lu Shi called out, trying to sit up straight.
"Shishi, lie down quickly." Mr. Wang hurriedly stepped forward, placed the flowers on the table to the side, pulled up a chair, and sat down in front of the hospital bed.
Lili wisely went out.
wrong.
Something must be wrong.
Lu Shi looked at President Wang and felt that there was something wrong with the man who kept smiling at her.
"Shishi, why are you doing this?" President Wang suddenly said, "If you come with me, the position of boss's wife will be yours. Why do you keep thinking about being a teacher?"
I finally realized what was wrong.
Mr. Wang has a serious problem.
She is a 35-year-old unmarried woman and an orphan with no parents.
The old Mr. Wang would never have given me a second glance, but now he seems like a sycophant, completely unlike the person I remember.
“Mr. Wang, I’m older than you and not particularly good-looking. I just want to be a teacher and educate people peacefully,” Lu Shi finally couldn’t help but explain.
"Shishi, you're really joking. Are you still angry with me? I've already fired that HR person." President Wang's smile widened. "Besides, you're young and beautiful. You call yourself 'plain and ordinary'? What are all the other women in the world called then? Haha."
Young and beautiful?
Lu Shi was confused.
She tried to get up, but found herself too weak to straighten up.
Upon seeing this, General Manager Wang stepped forward to help him up.
"Don't touch me!" Lu Shi said sharply, "President Wang, are you talking nonsense? The words 'young and beautiful' have never been associated with me. If I had those qualities, the title of excellent teacher would not have gone to someone else every year."
"Shishi, don't be stubborn, be good. If you come with me, not only will you be an excellent teacher, but you'll also be the boss's wife." Mr. Wang's words became incredibly tempting. "Think about it, if you marry me, the training school will be yours to manage. You'll be the principal, reaping both fame and fortune!"
"Yes, Teacher Lu, I'm so envious of you. Why don't you agree to Mr. Wang's offer yet!" Lili returned to the ward at some point and started chiming in.
"Yes! Young lady, your boss is very sincere, say yes!"
"Say yes!"
"Say yes!"
I don't know when, but several nurses, doctors, and even the patients sleeping next to me gathered in the ward and started shouting loudly from their beds.
Lu Shi covered her ears, but the sound kept reaching them.
"I promise you, damn it!"
Suddenly, Lu Shi lowered her hands and shouted out a string of profanities.
"Queen Ant, you idiot, you don't understand humans at all!"
As Lu Shi cried out, the entire ward suddenly fell eerily silent. Everyone vanished in an instant.
"Aren't all humans like this? They want power, wealth, fame, and fortune. If you had just nodded in agreement, you could have had it all. Why are you so dissatisfied?" A hoarse voice echoed.
"Hehe, because everything you give me is based on my youth and beauty. Unfortunately, beauty is the least valuable thing," Lu Shi said with a smile.
But in her heart she was thinking: "You stupid ant queen, you've already created a picture of my happy life as the principal. I might even get obsessed with it. Now you haven't given me anything yet, but you're asking me to agree, painting me a pie in the sky. Do you think I'll eat it?"
However, the queen ant did not give up. Her voice, filled with confusion, continued to echo in the room.
"I've observed your imagined world. It's so absurd. That proves you're a human being with a vivid imagination. However, I can grant you all your wishes in your imagined world, as long as you say yes, okay?"
"Hahahaha." Lu Shi burst into wild laughter.
"A world of imagination? You actually think it's a world of imagination?" She laughed until tears almost streamed down her face.
Suddenly, Lu Shi changed the subject and said loudly, "You fat worm, you don't even know what I really look like. Young and beautiful? Bah!"
"The world you imagine is the world I actually experienced. There, I was just an ordinary teacher, nothing special. I longed for a life of privilege, but I knew I didn't have the ability. I just wanted to be content with what I had."
"Do you think that having a beautiful face means you can have everything? Lu Shi in the magical world is beautiful enough, but she still died with resentment. Sometimes, beauty is a danger. However, I'm lucky to have become her. So I will cherish this opportunity and live as a different Lu Shi."
"Aren't you all Lu Shi? I can't understand your human emotions. What I want is power and strength. Now our consciousnesses are completely connected. If you don't agree, I will forcibly seize your memories and make you my subject. A human magician as talented as you will be more useful than my other subjects. I will make good use of your beauty and talent to enter the human world and gain more benefits."
"Give me everything you have, Lu Shi."
The queen ant's voice became even louder.
"Heh. You're dreaming. Queen Ant, you entered my consciousness space and only found the superficial content. You can't see what's in my deeper consciousness space." Lu Shi mocked, "Queen Ant, you entered my consciousness space and only found the superficial content. You can't see what's in my deeper consciousness space."
"So, if you want to gain my memories, then come and experience the pain with me first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little soul in the deeper space of consciousness began to touch the container with both hands.
The numbers on the container decreased rapidly, while the numbers above the little man's head increased rapidly.
As the numbers increase, the stinging pain and the feeling of being verbally abused begin to emerge.
Lu Shi silently endured it.
The queen ant's voice trembled as she went from initial surprise to insults to screams of pain.
"Queen Ant, this is just the beginning. Enjoy it!" Lu Shi's lips curled up as she savored the pain.
4G...8G...12G...
As time passed, the weight of her soul shifted, and the pain intensified, but Lu Shi still gritted her teeth and persevered.
The queen ant's cries of pain grew weaker and weaker.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Lu Shi felt she was nearing her limit. Her consciousness was fading, and she couldn't even hear the insults anymore. Well, at least the mental damage was gone; she only needed to withstand the physical harm.
Suddenly, all the pain disappeared.
The queen ant's voice also completely disappeared.
Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, finding her mind clearer than ever before.
Previously, my remaining unconverted soul weight was 58g. It seems that it has all been converted into my own soul weight.
So my soul weight should be 206g now.
I've reached the soul strength of a high-level mage!
"Lu Shi, you truly surprise me. You can actually break through to the high-level mage at any time." The Queen Ant's voice rang out once again, and the joy in her voice was clearly palpable.
"You're quite tenacious, but as an intruder, I'm going to expel you now." Lu Shi smiled brightly.
The little soul figure's hands danced.
A huge white star map slowly unfolded, magic began to flow in, and a dazzling white light shone forth.
The Wall of the Heart
High-level mental magic.
Defend against and repel all mental attacks.
The screams of the queen ant echoed in my mind.
In reality, the stationary soldier ants began to move again, their enormous mandibles clamping down on Lu Shi's body.
Lu Shi suddenly opened her eyes, her body mysteriously disappearing from the spot, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow from the soldier ants.
