Chapter 354: Chapter 305: ...don’t be like this, suddenly I can’t laugh anymore._2
Fantasy so extreme it was like listening to a myth.
Just when he was a bit unsure of what to say,
a snide female chuckle suddenly filled his ears.
“Pretentious, just a Mart trickster.”
“I actually thought you were someone with great ambitions and important endeavors, but now it seems you’re just another Mart trickster. What’s next? Are you going to say that with just a little money, one can purchase an ‘Order of Atonement’ from you and wash away their sins?”
“These clichéd tricks might fool others, but do you think they can fool me?”
As the voice faded away,
a scantily clad woman, escorted by eight fully armed men, strode into Wang Zhongyi’s office. She crossed her arms as she looked toward Chen Yi, who stood by the window, her eyes filled with mockery and scorn.@@@@
This woman was the same one who had just entered the elevator.
Originally, she had just come here to take care of some business.
But when she had stepped into the elevator earlier, the young man before her caught her attention. This young man’s face wore a look of indifference that was all too common in the faces of everyone in Ao City.
It was an indifference to the lives of others.
In this world, indifference was a requisite skill for survival.
However, the indifference on this young man’s face was different from that of the other inhabitants of this city. It was like... as if he was out of place in this world, as if everything before him was nothingness.
Furthermore, the way this young man looked at her carried neither the lust found in bold men’s eyes nor the fear and caution present in timid men’s eyes. It was as if... as if she were a log, non-existent.
This feeling intrigued her greatly.
So, when the elevator stopped on the ground floor, she decided to go back to the 18th floor with her bodyguards, curious to discover what kind of person this young man was. Just as she reached the entrance of the Red Skull Faction leader’s office, she heard this young man’s speech.
“If no one else is willing to be a Walker, then I am willing.”
“This world always needs people who might seem foolish but are filled with courage.”
“We want peace.”
This speech was something she had never heard before.
It was something she had thought about in her heart.
But she dared not mention it to anyone. To speak up would only lead to being treated as an outcast.
For a woman to take over her father’s business in this world was extremely difficult. Even though she had proven her excellence, the veterans of her father’s powers always hindered her. Especially if she dared to express any opinion about peace.
The veterans would instantly see her as a weak leader.
She would lose all qualifications to inherit her father’s power.
And at that point, not even her father could do anything about it.
However, just as she unexpectedly started to idolize and yearn for this young man she had only met once, the speech he continued with shattered the thoughts that had just arisen in her heart.
So he was nothing but a Mart trickster after all.
The rules were simple.
One child would throw a beanbag to another, and then it would be passed around in turn.
But the beanbags he played with as a child were always thrown against a wall.
The only time someone played beanbag with him was with that elder sister, and then that elder sister was killed by his father.
If they could return to that peaceful world, might he too be able to freely play with beanbags?
“...”
After hearing this woman’s demand about their culture, Chen Yi calmly smiled, put one arm behind his back, took down a walking stick hanging on the wall, held it in his hand, and slowly paced around the office.
“Since you want to hear it, then I shall tell you.”
“The world you originally came from boasts tens of thousands of years of culture.”
“It has countless splendid or fleeting cultures that come and go like a night-blooming cereus, or those that endure, benefiting many generations.”
“These are the most glorious achievements of your ancestors.”
...
The audience in the live stream room began to feel unsettled.
‘Damn, this is spoon-feeding, why would she ask such a question? I could answer this too, doesn’t this seem like the map is suddenly lowering the difficulty?’
‘This woman isn’t really going to be hoodwinked like this, right? She clearly seems to come from a high background. What if she really believes Chen Yi, thinking he’s a savior sent by the gods?’
‘I’m serious, if Chen Yi clears this using such trickery, I’ll be the first to call BS. Who can’t swindle? Get me in there, and I’d do it too!’
‘Do you think you’re funny, the guy above? The map has limited all of Chen Yi’s powers, what else should he use if not trickery? Come on, tell me what you would use?’
‘What I would use is none of your business, I just find this kind of bluffing distasteful. Even if he clears it, I won’t give him any credit, that’s what I’m saying.’
‘Your words just made me laugh. How about you stop talking in the chat and say it to Chen Yi’s face once he’s out of the map?’
‘Hahaha, then Chen Yi would probably immediately ask which tribe he’s from, after all, Chen Yi never takes revenge on just an individual.’
‘No, he’d probably ask which Starfield he’s from.’
‘...don’t be like that, I suddenly can’t laugh anymore, is it still possible to change my Starfield registration now?’
...
Chen Yi held the walking stick in one hand, standing in the gentle twilight glow, and with a voice rhythmic and resounding, he raised his left arm and began to speak.
“Set a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the living people, continue the lost teachings for the sages of the past, and create peace for all generations to come.”
“This is a timeless saying left by Mr. Zhang Zai, simple yet profound, its legacy unceasingly revered throughout the ages.”
“Have you ever heard of such timeless sayings?”
