Create a game called "Collapse Iron," where the entire universe is the player.

The scene changes.

Plot development:

Inside the space station, the blue spirit fire struggled to emerge from the wall.

It bounces around like jelly.

But as soon as it came out, it struggled frantically, as if it had seen a wild beast, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

He was easily captured by Latio behind him.

He looked at the Netherfire in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he sensed something.

Sudden.

Screw Gum stepped out from behind: "We've been waiting for you!"

Ladio wasn't surprised: "...When did you start to doubt me?"

Screw Gum first quoted what the other person had said: "People who engage in academic research often find it difficult to believe certain things."

"On the contrary, questioning it is much easier."

Then he answered the other person's question: "From the very beginning, Mr. Ladio."

He added, "I have the same bad habits as you."

Ladio then asked, "Since you've seen through it all, why haven't you said a word?"

"Out of curiosity. Logic: peers, observation."

The subsequent conversation revealed the player's question.

The missing clerk did not suffer any substantial harm, which is inconsistent with the style of the Extinction Gang.

"Logic: A third party saved them."

Upon seeing this, Ladio nodded in agreement: "If I hadn't accidentally obtained the Spirit Fire Seed and intervened in the transmission of the Netherfire, those people would already be space junk floating outside the window."

Bullet comments:

"He really is my godfather!"

"I knew the Annihilation Gang wouldn't play house with you, not a single one of them died!"

"They're all just acting, only Xingbao looks completely clueless."

"Wrong, you too!"

"Intellectuals putting on a show is far more entertaining!"

"You think they're on the fifth level, but this wave is actually in the atmosphere."

......

Screw Gum's logic center flashed: "You are more honest than calculations suggest."

"But ultimately, it's all part of your calculations, isn't it?"

Ladio sighed, "One last question: Slugum, a genius like you, can you fathom the reason I did this?"

After some research, Luo Sigumu deduced: "I cannot be certain, but I can only make the following inference: to help the weak is the compassion of a healer; to then stand idly by and let the situation escalate is the sternness of a scholar."

"But staying behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation is a challenge for geniuses."

Bullet comments:

"Because he is kind!"

"The last person to challenge a genius was already crying and making a scene while clutching their computer!"

"Polite Silver Wolf: You!"

"So this is a challenge issued by my godfather to a genius?"

......

Ladio agreed with Screwgoom's statement, but the other party was still wrong about one thing.

"The king of the Screw Star is indeed insightful, but unfortunately, like geniuses, he is far removed from ordinary people—you are still wrong about one thing."

(P.S.: It is recommended to memorize the entire following text.)

"Standing by is the real cure: there is a stubborn disease in this world called dullness, which is harder to eradicate than any other ailment."

"The fate of knowledge is neither reasonable nor logical; geniuses stroll among the stars, while mediocre ones cannot even follow in their footsteps."

"Mediocre people can only learn to walk independently and spend their lives in mediocrity, falling down and getting back up."

"But a life of failure is still a life, and people have the right to taste it to the end; and only when they fall to the ground and no one helps them up can fools learn how to stand up."

"I have OCD and can't stand idiots, fools, or morons. If I see one, I want to die—unfortunately, this space station, like the Academy of Knowledge, has no geniuses, only mediocrities."

Bullet comments:

"I see, that's the truth doctor."

Even if someone helps you, you still have to stand up on your own in the end!

"Indeed, those with clumsy hands can be cured by chopping off their hands, but those with brain damage are beyond cure."

"Let mortals think for themselves."

"The Genius Club doesn't care about ordinary people, and although Godfather hates idiots, he won't really abandon them."

"I initially called him 'godfather' just because he gave me a free five-star character, but now I'm truly captivated by his personal charm!"

Greatness needs no further explanation!

......

Ladio's philosophy of life instantly went viral.

Players may not be able to do these things, but they are captivated by the person who proposed the idea.

The Genius Club stands high above, dedicated solely to pioneering new knowledge.

But Dr. Truth is willing to let "ordinary people" understand existing knowledge.

This is true genius among the underprivileged.

......

The story continues.

The ScrewGumm database has been updated, and it seems I understand now.

"What you want to eradicate is the blind faith of clerks in genius."

Ladio stated, "I'm just listing my questions; as for the answers... they'll find out for themselves."

"Seeking knowledge with a negative mindset is also a form of seeking knowledge, and it can also help us reach the right destination. This is an essential process for a group of mediocre people to achieve enlightenment."

Screwgoom: "You're more like a 'doctor' than a scholar."

Ladio did not object.

"As for the few sparks I left behind..."

Screwgoom chimed in, "I believe Estelle can handle this properly!"

Ladio nodded: "This is also a task left for her to complete."

"Well then, farewell. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you all again in the future."

"I believe that things will be just like they are today..."

The scene transitions to the final act, ending:

Ladio released the device containing the spirit fire and slammed it to the ground, whereupon blue flames instantly enveloped his entire body.

"A farce, a host of troubles."

"In the end, it's just a case of a fool worrying about nothing."

Ladio gave an elegant bow, then, aided by the power of the spirit fire, turned and vanished into space.

Screw Gum looked at the other's figure and reached out to take the spirit fire that had reappeared.

Standing still, lost in thought.

The story ends here.

"The Crown of Mediocrity and God" - "Mediocre People Worrying About Themselves" is complete!

At the same time, an achievement popped up: "Genius on the left, mediocrity on the right".

Bullet comments:

"He's really handsome!"

"I really love this sentence!"

"Looking at this title now, I really feel a lot."

"The mediocre are not truly mediocre, and the gods are not truly gods."

"Dr. Truth is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, while Nguyen Mai is warm on the outside but cold on the inside."

......

The story ends, and we return to the conference room on the space station.

Gui Naifen then opened the treasure chest next to her.

Obtain 5-star Qiong.

At this time, news from the Black Tower also arrived.

Contents:

Black Tower: I've heard about it, well done!

Xing: How is Estella?

Black Tower: We're already at work.

Xing: I meant her safety...

Black Tower: With me here, you still don't feel at ease?

Xing: I only feel at ease when you're around.

Black Tower: That's true.

Star: It's a pity that we didn't find the "Phase Fire" in the end.

Black Tower: It's alright, just consider it a favor Ruan Mei owes me! It's even more valuable!

Xing: I also have to thank Mr. Ladio.

Black Tower: Who is that?

Xing: Hmm?

Black Tower: Hmm?

Bullet comments:

"As expected, Black Tower's reaction was the same as Nguyen Mai's."

"This proves that there is no place for mediocrity in the eyes of a genius."

"Besides, Black Tower never cares about things she's not interested in."

"Wow, the official team has released another PV, this time about the godfather."

"That's normal, after all, the official account often speaks in Xiao Guizi's live stream."

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway Official (Max Level): (Like.jpg)"

"See? What did I say? Good afternoon, boss!"

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway Official (Max Level): You're sensible. I'll give you a chance to draw 50 Star Jade later!"

"Holy crap! Really?! Boss, I want one too!"
