Kamen Rider Against Entropy: I'm quite curious about what black hole energy is all about (and what about the Shining Stone?).

Conan Edogawa: Didn't we discuss before that when someone's strength reaches a certain level, their premonitions become prophecies? Maybe you just happened to mention Huo Linfei, and that was your premonition?

『 』(empty): Is there really such an answer? Wow, my elementary school student~

Conan Edogawa: ......→_→

Asuna: Won't elementary school students be influenced by bad habits in this group...?

Chapter 1372 Is it too late to go back to work?

I woke up in my rented room early in the morning.

Zili subconsciously picked up her phone, which was charging on the bedside table, and lit up the screen. It was 6:27, three minutes before the alarm would go off.

I'm actually three minutes early today.

A self-deprecating laugh is probably something that can't be done ten years younger.

Pulling off my nightcap releases my hair, which has lost its youthful luster after a night of confinement; the fatigue of yesterday leaves its mark on the slightly faded strands.

But when I was young, I always cared about their owners, but now I don't care that much anymore.

Washing up, getting dressed, putting on fake makeup, and tidying up one's appearance have become an unchanging daily routine since leaving school.

There isn't much time, and I can't spend too much time on it.

I took out the ready-made breakfast that had been heated in the microwave, ate it hastily, and picked up my phone as usual, but unexpectedly opened the Penguin app that I hadn't looked at seriously in a long time.

Writing 30 words is considered a success...

That was the group chat she pinned to the top of her chat list, a group chat that held significance for her youth.

It seems like it's been over a year since I left the ivory tower of campus and stepped into the adult world where survival is the only goal.

The youthful vigor of the past has been abandoned. The novel, which once carried dreams and vowed to write the great story in my heart, has stopped updating a year ago with the bold words of leaving campus. I want to pick it up again, but I lack the strength.

The once bustling readership has now grown cold and distant, with only a few readers occasionally sharing snippets of their lives.

In contrast, a group chat that was set to not receive message notifications was the complete opposite of hers.

There are many people active there. Some are saying good morning and have just gotten up, while others are still talking about game content and haven't gone to sleep yet. Scrolling up the information history, you can also find discussions about the novel's content, debates about the settings, and complaints about the strict censorship that prevents many topics from being written.

Unlike her, I feel a bit out of place.

I really want to ask a question that people always ask but never answer: Don't you all have to go to work?

"I guess the type of dog a group owner is determines the type of group they have."

Zili smiled as she looked at the group owner who suddenly appeared in the group chat.

Perhaps this time I can be ten years younger.

"To be honest, I started writing my first book because I read about that dog-like group owner's nun."

Unfortunately, that book turned out to be the first one that this dog-like group leader abandoned.

She was clearly one of the few silly little girls in the pigeonhole who had a complete book, but her first encounter with it resulted in her first unfinished work. Even now, recalling that feeling still leaves a bitter taste.

Why is it that the book I like is the one that this bastard's first eunuch-like work has to be abandoned?

"I remember asking this stupid fox for a minor role in his new book before, I wonder if he's written out my appearance yet..."

Zili drank the last sip of milk, sighed, and turned off her phone screen.

Now she doesn't even have much patience left to read novels. Even if the Stupid Fox writes about her character's appearance, she's not in the mood to read anymore.

And I remember hearing that stupid fox complain a few months or half a year ago.

Because of the internet cleanup campaign, many things in the new book couldn't be fully expressed, the writing style had to be changed, and some events were cut short halfway through because they were difficult to pass the review.

Zili felt that the book "Stupid Fox" would probably end abruptly, or at the very least, with a terrible ending.

Speaking of which, it seems that this silly fox has two completed books that are now unavailable, with only one remaining.

laugh.

"Happiness really does have to be built on the suffering of others, even though that's a bit unethical~"

"That silly fox seems to have a dream after all?"

"They said something about how if they ever time-travel, they'll drag all their group members over for fun..."

"Hey sis!"

"..."

what?

She thought she just heard something...?

Zili waited quietly for a while. The rented room remained quiet, although the streets below were gradually becoming lively, it was still relatively peaceful.

It's probably just my imagination...

Just like when a large truck is whizzing by on the highway and you vaguely hear someone calling your name, it's probably a psychological effect.

I shook my head; it was time to go to work.

Ugh...

Life is not easy!

"Let's get exciting, sis~"

[Ding! A newbie invited you to join the Dimensional Chat Group]

[Voluntary/Voluntary/And it's totally voluntary]

[Stop looking, Zili joined the dimensional chat group voluntarily.]

Zili: Hiss...

My head is starting to hurt; it's definitely a side effect of working overtime last night. I don't know if they'll approve my leave for this reason...

Please enter your ID: ______

Ah... these days even hallucinations are being sold through deceptive marketing?

Zili calmly took out her phone again, opened her contacts, scrolled to the contact marked as "idiot," and prepared to make a call.

At that moment, the illusion of entering an ID suddenly disappeared.

Instead, you see the figure of a long-haired, black-haired girl wielding a red rope, engaging in a battle of wits with a wooden figurine...

Am I hallucinating from working overtime?

[Am I hallucinating from working overtime? Confirmed]

Am I hallucinating from working overtime? Join this group!

......

Newbie just there to fill a spot: So, you just dressed like this? /Eating melon seeds

Am I hallucinating from working overtime? : Yes

Grocery store owner: Congratulations, at least you weren't hallucinating (laughs)

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Over Jade: This sounds like it's all Fuli's fault. I'm starting to wonder if Fuli can catch/swallow my ingots after I time-traveled.
