"It's a rare emotion." The old man said, "I sensed your anxious mood... Lu's child, no, Lu Shu, you look so weird now, just like when I saved you from the fire. What's wrong? What made you become like this?"
"The kid you mentioned is fighting." Lu Shu said, "I want to help him."
The old man blew out a smoke ring.
He smoked a cigarette and smiled, with a smile that contained a hint of relief.
“In such a world, you have found your ideal.” The old man said, “Good, very good. Unlike us old guys who are unwilling to move, you have a young and motivated mentality... Lu Shu, old man, I envy you very much.”
"But." He tapped his pipe with his fingers, and the ash fell like snow:
"Act quickly."
Lu Shu was silent for a moment.
The old man said, organizing his things: "Large organizations need to act with caution, and we should not get involved - but as individuals, it will be much easier, and we don't have to consider the consequences of affecting everyone..."

"Lü Shu, in the fifth world, you teamed up with that person and did nothing at all. Your ranking kept falling. These are all facts."
"Instead of forcing yourself to get close to it, you might as well be more practical and think more about yourself."
"But you are different from that kid named Noel. Noel... no one knows who is behind him. He can bet, but you don't have the capital to make mistakes."
"Nothing is certain yet... You have to remember that you are carrying a lot of things on your shoulders, and the past cannot be redeemed just because you simply follow someone... Hey!"
The old man talked a lot and suddenly turned around.
He found that there was no one in front of the counter, as if they didn't want to listen to him at all.
