"I'm back! I'm finally back!"
Before she even opened her eyes, Yang Qinglan heard Little Radish cheering.
So there was more...
"So she was there too," Li Changzhou murmured.
Yang Qinglan smiled at him.
"Hmm?" Although he didn't know why he was being smiled at, Li Changzhou still smiled back.
As they laughed, their smiles lost all connection to the little radish and transformed into the kind of carefree laughter that couples share—the kind of uncontrollable laughter that comes from simply seeing each other.
"I forgot about Little Radish too!" Li Qianxia slapped her forehead, looking regretful.
The little radish and the butterfly held hands and twirled around on the bed like they were at a bonfire party.
The train slowly traveled across the sea, with unidentified seabirds flying outside the window. Suddenly, a colossal beast, thousands of meters tall, leaped up, its head piercing directly through the clouds.
The sky darkened, the giant beast bit into the light of the sky, and then crashed into the sea with a deafening roar. Towering waves, like a wall of heaven, pushed against it.
The train continued its leisurely journey on the waves, like a skilled surfer.
I don't know what era it is outside the window.
The private room was quiet for a while, and everyone stared blankly at the sky, which had turned from dim to bright again.
“I’ve never understood,” Li Qianxia said, “the game deliberately makes us go back to the past when the original story isn’t real history.”
"What is true history?" The door to the private room was pushed open, and Xiaoyue came in carrying a tray.
"Congratulations on your official graduation!" She smiled and placed the wine and menu on the tray on the table in the private room. "The wine is just a token amount. You can order whatever you want from the menu. It's all free, as long as you don't bring any outside."
"Sister Xiaoyue," Li Qianxia greeted politely.
Xiaoyue kissed her on the cheek, and Li Qianxia rubbed her face, her cheeks turning slightly red.
It's nothing for girls to touch cheeks, but kissing...
"What did you mean just now?" Li Changzhou asked.
"Huh?" Xiaoyue clasped her hands together, looking at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he didn't understand. "Free food—"
"What true history? And what does graduation even mean?"
"Oh, you mean this?" Xiaoyue turned around to look at the door and made sure it was locked.
She ran her hand through her pencil skirt, sat down with a sexy and elegant air, and said:
"This is... well—how should I put it, breaking through to the fifth level of visualization techniques? A Human Immortal? Yes, in Xia Kingdom terms, a Human Immortal. Once you reach the Human Immortal level, you'll know more information—actually, you can know everything, even who 'the boss' is, but I can't say. Only when you reach the Human Immortal level can I tell you the information you can know."
"So who is the 'boss'?" Yang Qinglan asked.
"I'd like to know too. If I sleep with her beforehand, I'll be the boss's wife." Xiaoyue picked up a cherry from the fruit plate on the table and took a bite.
“The value game is natural, without subjective consciousness. Is the ‘boss’ you mentioned the winner of the value game?” Li Changzhou guessed.
“Well, in your words, it’s the ‘winner’.” Xiaoyue pinched the napkin and wiped her fingertips. “The so-called ‘real history’ is actually the same as the instances you experienced, but they happened in other timelines, so they’re considered fake to you.”
"Is it true?" Li Qianxia's eyes widened as she mentally counted how many people she had killed.
Hmm, it seems there weren't many, in fact, she saved quite a few. The murderers were all her brother.
"Once you've finished settling accounts and become immortals, you'll be able to sense something. Through that thing, you'll know that the people in the instance are real."
"Faith?" Yang Qinglan suddenly said.
"I can only describe you as incredibly intelligent. Want to sleep together? I'm due on the 23rd of this month—"
“Go on,” Li Changzhou interrupted her.
"You can come along," Xiaoyue added before continuing, "If players accumulate good deeds, they can receive the faith of those timelines. Smart kids can guess that the dungeon is real, which is why only immortals are qualified to know about this."
Yang Qinglan pondered for a moment and said, "In the future, our dungeons—no, we can't call them dungeons anymore, they should be called battlefields. Will our future battlefields not only be the past and present, but also other timelines?"
"Other timelines?" Li Qianxia's voice rose slightly. "We're going to kill ourselves?"
"No, that's not right." Yang Qinglan frowned slightly. "We're now back in the past, but also in another timeline..."
She fell into deep thought.
Li Changzhou said, "We previously speculated that the subway represents going back to the past, the ship represents traveling to other planets in the present, and the airplane might represent the future... But now it's hard to say. Is the airplane the future, or some other timeline?"
He looked at Xiaoyue.
“That’s forbidden.” Xiaoyue blinked her right eye, then changed to a more positive tone, “Alright, alright, you just graduated, just enjoy yourselves and don’t think about these things.”
"That's right, that's right, I'm so stressed, I'm almost as stressed as Li Ergou." Li Qianxia nodded repeatedly.
Her head wasn't even as big as Li Changzhou's palm—during summer and winter vacations at home, Li Changzhou would often slap her face and then pin her to the bed and beat her up.
As for why I hit her, I can figure it out from what she just said.
"Now is not the time to relax. What do you mean by graduation?" Yang Qinglan asked again.
"After passing a certain stage, you will be born; when you reach the level of a human immortal, you will 'graduate'. After that, you can do whatever you want, and you won't even have to participate in the game every month. Your compulsory education is over, and the value game will no longer force you."
