I loaded the dream game

Lost the things you loved, the things you once cherished, the things that were important, the things that were special, the things you didn't want to lose, the things you wanted to see disappear, all of it, turned to ash in that fire.

Then, it's natural to feel sad, it's natural to feel pain, it's natural to become desperate, it's natural to feel hatred...

Everyone thinks so.

They only regarded her, the princess of a fallen country, as a tragic protagonist and required her to become a "very pitiful girl".

Human happiness comes from comparison. Only by looking at the misfortunes of others can one be grateful for one's own luck, just like looking at the snow scene outside the window in a warm room. Compassion is something that only rich people like this can possess.

But it doesn’t matter, because Lilia is a very straightforward girl.

I would listen to the adults' words very well, just like I had been well advised by them to just smile.

People around her expected her to be that kind of "poor girl", so she should just be that kind of girl.

Therefore, the girl named Lilia is ready. She will play such a role well. No matter it is sadness, pain, despair or hatred, as long as the person next to her wishes, she will show it to him as he wants.

After all, that's all she's worth.

however……

"It's so long." Xia Zhi complained.

"...Huh?" Lilia was stunned for a moment.

"It's too long, can it be shortened to three words or less?" Xia Zhi asked.

Only then did Lilia realize: this person was saying something rude about someone else's name.

"I'm so sorry, that's how my parents named me." The girl turned her head away and said, "Besides, everyone in this world is named like this."

If you want to shorten it, why don't you just call me by my name? She thought to herself.

"Is that so..." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Then I will call you Lily from now on."

Lilia: “…”

It's OK to omit the surname, but why omit the given name? Is it really that tiring to read one more syllable?

After an unknown amount of time, Lilia once again felt her own true emotions welling up in her heart...even though the name of this emotion was "anger."

"Then let's stop here tonight. It's already late." Xia Zhi stood up, put a gray witch hat that came from nowhere on the girl's head, and said to her with a smile:

"Good night, Lilia, I wish you a good dream."

"..."

Looking at the boy's departing back, Lilia recalled the smile he had just had.

Indeed, just as he said, when people smile truly from the heart, there is light in their eyes.

Lilia thought silently in her heart.

Chapter 29: It is not an exaggeration to say that you can do whatever you want

As if waking up from a hazy dream, Xia Zhi opened his eyes.

What comes into view is still that dreamy pure white space.

Xia Zhi sat up, looked around, and found himself sitting on the same big bed.

"Ah! It's you!" The girl's surprised voice rang in his mind: "You're here again!"

Xia Zhi didn't answer, but just thought about it in his heart.

He remembered that he had just returned to the campfire and was about to go to sleep, but not long after he closed his eyes, he came to this place when he woke up again.

"Is sleep the triggering condition?" he thought to himself.

As expected of a dream game, there is a special obsession with sleeping.

Xia Zhi touched the quilt under him and found that except for the small area where the girl was lying, which was warm, the rest was cold.

In other words, before he came over, the girl had been lying here sleeping, without even turning over.

"Do you just sleep here every day?" Xia Zhi asked curiously.

"When Karma and the others were here, they would play with me." Eluke replied, "But they seem to have something to do recently, so they are all out."

As for who the "Kama" mentioned by the girl are, Xia Zhi could roughly guess that they should be the earth gods who came to this world together with the star gods and were entrusted with the task of taking care of Eluk after most of the star gods passed away.

To be honest, Xia Zhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the final Star God would be a left-behind child.

"Ai Lu Ke..." Thinking of what he saw and heard today, Xia Zhi asked, "Have you ever thought about destroying humanity?"

He planned to ask the person directly.

"Destroy humanity?" Ai Luke asked in a puzzled voice: "Why?"

"...Fun?" After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi helped the girl think of a reason.

"Is it fun?" Ai Luke's curious voice contained a hint of anticipation.

"No, it's actually pretty average." Out of respect for his main mission, Xia Zhi changed his words and said, "Ai Lu, you definitely won't be interested."

"Really..." The girl's voice became a little low.

Did he help humanity survive a crisis that nearly wiped out the entire race? Xia Zhi thought to himself.

Through this conversation, he was able to confirm that Eluko himself was not hostile to humans. For him, just knowing this was enough.

"So, Ai Lu Ke..." Xia Zhi asked his second question: "Have you ever thought about what the meaning of your life is?"

"Meaning...meaning?" The girl's childish voice was tinged with doubt again.

For the young Star God, it was too early for her to think about such things.

So, after thinking hard for a long time, the girl finally gave up: "Wow... Is this kind of thing important?"

"Of course it's important." In order to guide the girl to think about the meaning of her existence, Xia Zhi began to talk nonsense: "If a person... ahem, a god doesn't know the meaning of his life, then what's the difference between him and being dead?"

"Death?" Ai Luke was a little confused: "Death...what is it?"

"..."

Xia Zhi realized that he might have given an inappropriate example.

The girl could not understand the meaning of "death", not only because she was too young and had never encountered death, but also because as a star god, she herself was an immortal.

Star Gods will only die in the world where they are born, and when they come to this world and lose the way to return to their original world, they also lose the way to die.

The little star god cannot understand death, so naturally he cannot understand the meaning of life, let alone think about the meaning of his own existence.

"It seems that the education level of those earth gods needs to be improved." Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

He finally realized the difficulty of this main mission.

Precisely because life has a beginning and an end, it needs to be given meaning. For a star god with endless life, if he wants Eluke to think about the meaning of her own existence, he must first let her understand what death is.

So complicated……

Xia Zhi thought.

"Can I skip this process directly?" he asked in his heart.

[This modification will consume 750 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

Sure enough, it is not so easy to change the will of a God.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi decided that it would be better to proceed step by step. He had plenty of time anyway.

As for what to do specifically, let him think about it tomorrow.

Now...

Xia Zhi suddenly thought of something.

Since he is in control of this body now, it means that he can do anything with this body, right?

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi immediately became excited.

He immediately spent two reward points to exchange for a game console, several game discs and a lot of snacks and drinks. He also exchanged for a soft single sofa and placed it next to the bed.

Looking at the pile of well-prepared "combat supplies" in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then, the long-awaited all-nighter is about to begin! .

Chapter 30: Attacked

"what……"

The next morning, Xia Zhi, who had just woken up, yawned loudly. He looked tired and sleepy, as if he had not woken up yet.

"Good morning, Kirisu-sensei."

He rubbed his eyes and greeted Kirisu Madoka.

"... Didn't Xiazhi-san sleep well last night?" asked Kirisu Madoka.

"Teacher, are you asking about physical or mental aspects?" Xia Zhi asked back in confusion.

Kirisu Mafuyu: "...?"

Is it possible for your body and mind to rest separately?

However, now she finally understood why the boy liked to sleep in class.

On the other hand, Xia Zhi said that although the two were not related, he just made a mistake that every student would make at that time.

"Hey, good morning, Lilia."

He greeted the red-haired girl who passed by.

What surprised him was that the girl was still wearing the grey witch hat he gave her. The big hat matched her petite figure, making her look cute in a contrasting way.

"Good morning, good morning..." Lilia adjusted the brim of her hat, left after saying this, and turned away.

Xia Zhi felt that the girl seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, which made him feel a little strange for a moment.

We were chatting just fine last night, what happened to her?

Confused, he turned around, only to be met with a pair of turquoise eyes that were very close to him.

After talking to a girl, what kind of feeling is it to turn around and see the head teacher looking at you? Xia Zhi experienced it this time, and he felt that his heart was so scared that he stopped for a beat... Although he didn't seem to have done anything to feel guilty about.

"Question, what did Xiazhi do to that girl?" Kirisu Madoka asked, staring at him closely.

"Why do you ask me in such a tone as if I must have done something?" Xia Zhi complained.

Can you give your students more trust? In terms of ethics and law.

"Of course I trust Xiazhi, but..." Kirisu Madoka hesitated for a moment and said, "She is just a child..."

Summer Solstice: "..."

How do you show that you trust me?

Just as he was about to speak out to defend his own reputation, two lines of subtitles suddenly appeared in front of him:

[You have triggered a new side quest: Ensure the safety of the convoy from the upcoming attack]

[Task Reward: 50 Dream Points]

attack?

Before Xia Zhi could come to his senses, he heard a scream behind him.

"It's a wolf species! Run away!"

No, no, we should be fighting now, right? Don't you want the goods anymore?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

He didn't know who had said those words that hurt morale just now, but he estimated that it was not the adventurers in the caravan, because they were already fighting with the werewolf-like wolf species that were attacking them.

"Xiazhi classmate..."

Looking at the bright red pool on the ground and the motionless figure lying on the ground, Kirisu Madoka's face turned pale, but she still grabbed the boy's wrist and pulled him behind her.

Although she was very scared, her duty as a teacher still made her muster up the courage to protect the boy.
