I loaded the dream game

According to the information Xia Zhi currently knows, there are only two ways to end the copy.

One is to complete all the main tasks and wait for the copy to close automatically, and the other is that one of the two people who constitute the core of the dream network, yourself or teacher Manfuyu, dies, which eventually causes the dream to collapse automatically.

There is no other way.

However, main quests like [Protect the target to survive until the end of the copy] are obviously contradictory to the first method and are obviously not feasible.

It seems that the only way to get out of this dream is to use method 2.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and thought.

So, should we kill Mr. Mafuyu?

...Just kidding. Even if we put aside personal emotional factors, the 1700 dream point rewards for completing the main mission three and all the main missions would make it impossible for him to do something that would obviously result in a huge loss.

But this raises a question: since Teacher Madoka cannot die, then who should die?

Summer Solstice: "..."

"Let's make a deal. Can you fake your death?"

It was obvious that Dream Game would not answer him, nor did it have any intention of discussing things with him.

"How many points are needed to let us leave this dream directly?" He changed his mind and asked.

[This modification will consume 83 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief as it was relatively cheap.

But no matter how small the amount of money is, it is still money. When he thought about the option of getting these 80 dream points for free, he suddenly felt tempted.

"If you shoot him in the head directly, he shouldn't feel much pain, right?"

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment and began to think about this problem seriously in his mind.

In theory, this is true, but he is not sure about this kind of thing. After all, he has no experience before. It would be better if he could find someone who has experienced similar things to consult.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Teacher Madoka?" Xia Zhi asked tentatively.

The person outside the door uttered a soft "hmm".

Xia Zhi stood up and opened the door. Looking at Kirisu Mafuyu standing at the door, he asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

It shouldn't be time for dinner yet, right? he thought to himself.

"Xiazhi classmate..." Kirisu Madoka's cheeks were rarely red. She bit her lips lightly and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Can you please... do me a favor?"

Chapter 60: The Girl is Ready

The place where Xia Zhi is now is still the original town that has turned into ruins in the collapse.

That day, after rescuing the little girl, they wanted to leave there, but soon they found another dozen surviving children in a basement under the collapsed house.

Later, Xia Zhi learned that there was an orphanage there, which housed abandoned children in the city. After the disaster, the teachers of the orphanage let the children hide in the basement, and it was because of this action that the children survived.

This immediately made things difficult. If there were only one or two children, it would be fine, but with more than a dozen children around, it was obviously impossible to continue taking risks.

The best way to deal with these children is to take them to the next city and give them to the orphanage there for adoption.

But for some unknown reason, Kirisu Madoka firmly insisted on taking them in and taking care of them.

Faced with her insistence, Xia Zhi thought about it and agreed since there was nothing particularly important to do next.

Out of the children's own wishes, the inconvenience of traveling, and the high housing prices in the city, they finally decided to stay in this town that had turned into ruins. They found a few relatively intact houses, repaired them simply, and moved in.

During this period, Kirisu Madoka even cleared out a piece of space, moved in some tables and chairs, and took down a door panel to use as a blackboard, and resumed teaching the children as usual.

"I just hope that when they grow up, they can have a way to make a living, so that they don't end up knowing nothing and not knowing what they can do."

In response to Xia Zhi's doubts, Kirisu Madoka explained this at the time.

"If my teachings can help them change their fate, that would be great."

What a great teacher.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

So after thinking for a moment, he used two dream points to exchange for a complete set of primary and secondary school textbooks, as well as a large box of tutoring papers, and gave them to Kirisu Madoka as teaching resource aid.

"Where did these teaching materials come from?" Naturally, Kirisu Madoka asked this question.

"I ordered it online." Xia Zhi gave a casual answer.

Kirisu Madoka naturally didn't believe the boy's obvious lies, but she also knew that since the boy didn't want to say it, even if she insisted on asking him, she would probably end up with the same vague answer as before, such as "Just assume that I can do it."

Fortunately, she had become somewhat accustomed to the incredible things Xia Zhi often did. Although she was still a little concerned, she did not continue to ask.

But it must be said that after having the teaching materials, her teaching quality has been greatly improved, and teaching has become much easier than before, which has really been a great help.

I just don't know why, but Xia Zhi seems to be very keen on assigning homework to the kids. He assigned a large number of tutoring papers for three consecutive days, which caused some subtle changes in the kids' attitude towards him. It seemed that they had more...resentment?

Kirisu Madoka was a little confused, but she could tell that the boy had good intentions, so she didn't say anything to stop him.

But this morning, she had planned to go to teach the children after getting up, but suddenly she found that the sky was getting gloomy and it seemed that it was going to rain soon.

But the "classroom" she cleared for the children was in an open space, which meant that if it rained, today's classes would have to be suspended.

"So, Teacher Madoka, are you planning to let them go to your room for classes?" Xia Zhi asked.

Kirisu Madoka nodded. She didn't want to interrupt the course because of this.

"In that case, why don't you just take them over?" Xia Zhi was a little confused. Did he need his help with this matter as well?

“No…” Kirisu Madoka bit her lip and said hesitantly, “Anyway…anyway, you’ll know if you come over first.”

Xia Zhi followed Teacher Madoka to her room with some confusion. When he opened the door and saw the scene inside, he immediately knew why Teacher Madoka said she needed his help.

The pens and books on the table were placed randomly, the entire table top was a mess, the stools were tilted all over the place, the quilt on the bed was curled up in the corner, and the floor was also a mess, filled with draft papers and changed clothes and socks, with almost no place to step.

"Isn't this too messy?" Looking at this messy scene, Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain: "How did you do it?"

Being seen by her own student in such an embarrassing scene, Kirisu Madoka felt very shy and embarrassed. She didn't dare to look into Xia Zhi's eyes. With a slightly red cheek, she turned her head away and whispered, "Unconsciously... it just happened like this."

Being able to achieve this level without realizing it is, in some ways, a remarkable skill.

Just as Xia Zhi was sighing in his heart, he suddenly remembered something.

If Teacher Madoka's housekeeping skills are really zero, then how did she manage her life in the days before?

Looking at Kirisu Madoka who turned her head away and remained silent, Xia Zhi quickly realized something and silently sympathized with the girl far away in his heart.

Thank you for your hard work, Lilia.

……

"A chirp!"

Lilia sneezed a little, raised her head and looked at the sky in confusion, feeling as if someone was talking about her.

"It must be an illusion..."

Thinking this, she withdrew her gaze, pressed down the gray hat on her head, took a step forward and continued walking forward.

The wide streets were deserted, and the once bustling city now seemed dead silent. This was natural, after all, most people in the city had already gone to seek refuge, and only a few chose to stay for some special reasons, and Lilia was one of them.

The reason why she stayed here was simple, because she came to this city specifically for the impending disaster.

And now, she is ready to face the First Ruler.

Chapter 61: My brave hero, can you do it?

A week ago, a girl who called herself the Herrscher led an army of Honkai beasts to attack the border city of the Holy Empire.

In less than four days, dozens of cities fell and turned into ruins.

This is not invasion, nor is it war. The other side does not consider race, camp, or accept surrender. They just indiscriminately bring destruction and death wherever they go.

During this period, the Empire organized an army to counterattack, but all of them failed without exception, and the quasi-heroes who were dispatched all died in those battles.

The other party seemed to have a very special power, which could deconstruct and copy anything she saw, even the extremely complex holy sword that relied on the interference of spell power to exert its ability. At the same time, it seemed that any skill that was used in front of her once would be quickly mastered by her.

This resulted in the fact that after several battles, the Empire not only failed to stop the Herrscher girl, but even made her stronger and stronger.

Three days ago, the Herrscher girl, who had already penetrated deep into the heart of the empire, stopped outside this city and issued an ultimatum to the people of this city... or this country:

"Come to me within three days with the remaining four Supreme Ancient Sacred Swords, or I will continue my march until I destroy half the empire."

After leaving these words, the Herrscher girl left with her army of Honkai beasts.

No one doubted the truth of her words, because less than two hundred miles behind this city was the capital of the empire.

The Herrscher girl only gave three days, and today is the last day.

Lilia didn't know whether the Empire had prepared the four holy swords. She only knew that the Empire didn't seem to be willing to give in. Because she just heard that the only regular hero had also come to the city today.

"Now that the regular hero is here, there should be no chance for me to take action, right?" the girl thought to herself.

The regular heroes are very strong. They are invincible to all martial arts, all spells, and all monsters. Therefore, if they fight, they will definitely win. This is a fact recognized by everyone.

There is no one who can match this fighting power, no one who can fight alongside him, and no one can even compare to him.

Even now, Lilia didn't think she could help the regular hero. Therefore, she went to watch the battle between the regular hero and the Herrscher girl out of curiosity.

When she walked out of the city and arrived at the battlefield, the battle was almost over.

"boom--!"

The blue sword light shot up into the sky, connecting into a tangible light curtain that separated the world before their eyes.

At this moment, the earth was divided and the clouds were torn apart. Under this unstoppable force, the world began to split from near to far, as if it was cut apart completely.

When the impact disappeared, the light gradually dissipated, and a huge canyon crack that almost tore the earth in half appeared in front of Lilia.

And at the beginning of the "canyon", there were two figures standing.

"Tick, tick..."

Fresh blood, drop by drop, slid down the blade, dripped onto the ground, and stained the soil.

The gray-blue sword pierced deeply into the girl's chest, and accompanied by a strange and deep light flash, the "kill" curse was activated.

Seeing the life in the girl's eyes gradually disappear, the brave man named Nils finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew clearly that Seniorius's ability allowed it to kill everything without exception through the concept-tampering curse, even the immortal star gods.

With this curse, the girl in front of him had no chance of surviving.

...That's how it should be.

"Pfft-"

A light blue light flashed, and three long swords were constructed from the void, piercing through his body and cutting off his arm that was holding the holy sword.

"I see……"

Enduring the severe pain of his body being torn apart, Nils stared at the blonde girl who seemed to have appeared beside him out of thin air. He recalled the scene when she seemed to be holding something tightly in her hand when he pierced her body with the sword, and a flash of understanding came into his mind.

"He transferred the core out at the last moment, and then used his power to rebuild a new body..."

He actually used this method to circumvent Seniorolis's "fatal curse".

Nils smiled bitterly. It was the first time he encountered such a shameless enemy.

In this way, he becomes the one who is at a disadvantage and is about to die.

"Can I still save my life if I hand over the other three holy swords now?" After thinking for a while, he asked the blonde girl in front of him.

Artilaide did not answer him, but simply held out her hand.

The next moment, a light blue glow lit up from beside her, condensed, and formed a number of holy swords of various shapes, all of which were aimed at the human hero without exception.

Looking at the sword blades reflecting the cold light, Nils couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

"Is there really nothing to discuss? I think..."

Before he could finish his words, hundreds and thousands of holy swords fell down at once at Atilaide's command.
