Final Chapter: Guarding the Shore [24] · "Chapter 9: "Ideals without Regrets" (Author: Qing, Kong



(You were silent for a while and didn't respond to her words.)

(Lin Jiang noticed your silence keenly. She opened her mouth, as if she realized why you were silent, but in the end her eyes dimmed and she pretended not to notice anything.)

You: “What do you think of the decision to set sail?”

Lin Jiang: "Well... my mom once told me that when a road is dark and there is no light, just dive into the darkness. No matter if there is a puddle or a mud pit ahead, a duck will always swim."

You (taking the token from Lin Jiang): "We are all ducks?"

Lin Jiang: "Yes, well-cooked salted duck."

Lin Jiang: "But you should be a swallow, flying over with a whoosh."

(You remember that she died in White Sand Paradise, and her strength was shattered. People who invested in her retreated, thinking that she had no potential.)

(Will she still be afraid of the bland stir-fried cabbage on her birthday? Will she still be ashamed of her mother's poverty? Will she still feel inferior at the luxurious birthday party with her classmates?)

(Is she rich because of the endless gold coins she has, or because of her invisible soul?)

(You remember her silently, say goodbye and leave.)

(You come to a bungalow. Xiao Xiao and Wang Zhenzhen are standing together, following Anthony's call, pouring mana into the magic circle.)

(They kept pouring in mana until it was exhausted and then rested, round after round, panting with exhaustion.)

Xiao Xiao (looking at the points that kept rising): "Come on, Zhenzhen! After we finish this bottle of mana, we'll have 3 more points! We can exchange them for more daily necessities!"

Wang Zhenzhen (gritting her teeth): "Well! We are still short of some toothpaste, some towels, and a cart..."

Xiao Xiao: "That's right. For a better life in the future, we can't stop now. You also want a computer. I remember it..."

(You look at them, they are the most ordinary people.)

(They redeem their points not for invincible power or jewelry that would make them rich, but for the strength to protect themselves and the resources to feed and clothe themselves. There are many people like them.)

(You didn't want to disturb them, so you just glanced at them and turned away)

Xiao Xiao (shocked): "Is that... is that Su Mingan? Such a bright light, do you think we can't see it - Su Mingan!"

(He called you and used voice transmission very cleverly without attracting other players)

you:"……"

Xiao Xiao (walks closer in surprise): "It's really you. Isn't this a critical period? Why are you here? Are you here to see Hua De?"

(He straightened his hair a little nervously. Although we once knew each other, the distance between us now seemed to have become very large.)

(You shake your head)

Wang Zhenzhen (excited): "Does he want our help?"

(You shake your head)

Xiao Xiao (laughing): "Then you can't be here to see us, right?"

(You nodded)

(You saw the shocked expressions on their faces. They lacked knowledge about gods and definitely didn’t know the purpose of your visit—before losing everything, gods tried to leave an anchor in memory. It’s better for them not to know about such things.)

You: “How have you been lately?”

Xiao Xiao: "It's OK. Anthony, Huade, Lin Yin, the people from the United Group...are all mobilizing ordinary players to exert their strength. Although we can't help you fight in a high dimension, it's no problem for us to gather energy."

Wang Zhenzhen: "...Well, we are doing well, thank you very much. Many of my classmates didn't expect that we could really move towards the future, and my relatives... Thank you very much! Su Mingan!"

(She bowed deeply, and Xiaoxiao quickly followed suit. You looked at the genuine happiness on their faces, and you smiled too.)

(Very good.)

(You can finally make the vast majority of people happy.)

(You bid them farewell and wish them peace in the future.)

Xiao Xiao (recording immediately): "Oh my god, it's actually Su Ming'an's blessing. I have to record this and play it on loop to show off to everyone! Haha!"

Wang Zhenzhen (waving high): "Su Ming'an! Goodbye! I wish you happiness too! Smooth sailing and safe journey!"

(You recalled your first meeting with them, which was at the Third World Mingxi Campus.)

(Xiao Xiao was a nanny, unarmed, but he mustered up the courage to save Wang Zhenzhen. At that time, they talked about you and thought you were not a normal person at all, and were wary of you. But now, they regard your blessing as the most precious treasure.)

(You smiled silently and left their story.)

(You step into this abandoned temple of omnics. Since the God of Omnics has long been dismantled, no one lives here. There is only a young man in an oil-painted shirt sitting in front of a computer tinkering with something.)

Ryan: "...Su Mingan?"

Ryan: "Don't ask me, I don't know where Burris is, I'm looking for him."

(You see his screen is full of search programs, you randomly tap on them, and he suddenly becomes enlightened and progresses much faster.)
