Little Martial Saint [Gold]: I qualify, right?
Moonlight Coast: Pass the mic to Martial Saint! (Mic, mic, mic)
Little Martial Saint [Gold]: King of Black Fog is insanely strong! I'm sure he's invincible, No Taboos!
Moonlight Coast: That's all you wanted to say?
Could You Be Any Cuter: Really?!!!
Struggling to Keep My Eyes Open: Damn it! Now I finally understand why you all keep saying 'King of Black Fog,' 'King of Black Fog'! I tried to type out his real name and my hands shook from fear!
I'm Not Gonna Die, Right? I Don't Want That!: I typed it out then deleted it
My ID Is Private, Can't Reveal: Don't dare to disrespect him... may I ask why? Will I feel afraid too?
I Have A Lot of Experience in This Area [Gold]: It's not quite fear, no one writes their own name on a blank tombstone, same principle. Your heart also resists typing out his name, which is perfectly normal.
Struggling to Keep My Eyes Open: So you mean Little Martial Saint is scared too, not daring to call him directly by name?
I'm Not Gonna Die, Right? I Don't Want That!: So Little Martial Saint is also scared?
Moonlight Coast: So Little Martial Saint is also scared? (Looks like I'm not afraid of Little Martial Saint, laugh.jpg)
Little Martial Saint [Gold]: This month! I accept challenges from everyone! Anyone not afraid of death, come find me in Xia City!
Everyone Is Sick: Stir it up! Stir it up! After defeating Four Seasons Star, Earth starts a civil war again!
My ID Is Private, Can't Reveal: Selling sunflower seeds, peanuts, chicken feet, and cola
Sunflower: Gimme some sunflower seeds
Ground Peanut: Gimme some peanuts
Proud Rooster: Gimme some chicken feet
Sprite: Gimme some cola
Moonlight Coast: @My ID Is Private, Can't Reveal, how many times has this been? I feel like you're going to be done for sooner or later.
My ID Is Private, Can't Reveal: Impossible. We've united, planning to open a players' supermarket. Sunflower seeds, peanuts, chicken feet all have special effects, inquiries welcome
Sunflower: Inquiries welcome
Ground Peanut: Inquiries welcome
Proud Rooster: Inquiries welcome
Moonlight Coast: You're awesome, but I've got a question. Sunflower and Ground Peanut are okay, but why is Big Brother Rooster selling chicken feet?
Proud Rooster: I raise other chickens
Moonlight Coast gasps.
This is even more ruthless than the King of Black Fog!
Indeed, slaughtering millions is nothing but a trivial matter for animals. A blue whale needs around 4 tons of krill a day; isn't the life of krill also a life.
The live broadcast enters its final stage.
Little Yue laughed: "Everyone's discussion is quite heated, very interesting. As a flight attendant born on Earth, I would like to remind everyone."
"Actually, among observable and quantifiable data, over two hundred million civilizations perish in the universe every year, averaging around 50,000 civilizations destroyed every day. Not to mention millions of people, even Earth is insignificant."
"Should we save them?"
"Does it have meaning?"
"You should be grateful, in the game of value, there's an Earth player who can slaughter millions of lives."
"Just honestly get stronger. It's not your turn to worry about others. Treat the present like primitive society, survival comes first."
Li Changzhou came out of the live broadcast room on the train. Steel Flame, Deadly Light Flame, Street Dance Girl and others hadn't left yet.
"Um..." They approached, a bit awkward, fearful.
"Handsome guy, sorry! Let me treat you to bubblegum!" Street Dance Girl had an expression as if ready to face death, offering a Bibab.
Li Changzhou took it, peeled off the wrapper, and put the red bubblegum in his mouth.
The sweetness blossomed in the cavity.
"Actually, it's nothing," he said, "Everyone holds on to themselves and has the courage and responsibility to go through with it. That's admirable, it's just that I was right this time."
Li Changzhou, not dwelling on the matter, turned and left.
The crowd watched them leave the station.
"You actually ate it yourself? You used to share your bubblegum with me," Li Qianxia accused.
"Hmm!" Li Changzhou pretended he was going to spit the bubblegum out for her.
"Scram!"
"You used to split bubblegum in half?" Turquoise Pool was surprised.
"That's siblings for you," Yang Qinglan mused.
"...It's simply because we were poor (laugh)." The siblings had nothing to say to the rich people.
After leaving the station, they were actually in Ming City, standing at the entrance to the subway they used to take most often.
"Where to now?" Li Qianxia asked.
"Back to Yanhe Road," Yang Qinglan said.
Li Qianxia looked at her older brother.
"Sounds good," Li Changzhou nodded, "My classes aren't finished; I want to continue being a lawyer. Where there's people, there's conflict, and where there's conflict, lawyers are needed. Lawyers won't be unemployed."
"Even if others are out of a job, they still need lawyers to go to court," Turquoise Pool added sagely, as if she had litigated with many who'd gone bankrupt before.
"Are lawyers still useful when things turn chaotic?" Li Qianxia doubted, "Like on Four Seasons Star, for instance."
"My foolish, dear sister, you still haven't grasped the essence of lawyers. Litigation is just one of the lawyer's tools. The essence of a lawyer is to help solve problems," Li Changzhou explained.
Around the corner, the long-missed Yanhe Road lay before them.
The evergreen canopy was like an umbrella; the large apricot trees in every yard, once like green pagodas in September, now were only barren branches.
The stone road was as usual, with Qing Lan Bookstore's sign already in view at the entrance.
"It's so good to be back!" Li Qianxia revealed a smile.
Smiles also spread across Yang Qinglan's and Turquoise Pool's faces. Earth, Xia Country, Ming City, the familiar streetscapes.
Li Changzhou believed he had done nothing wrong.
