Volume 290: Chapter Chapter Survival and Life

The artificial lake of Rhodes Island, which is not only a place for viewing but also has the function of water purification, is the masterpiece of the craftsmen who were responsible for the transformation of this mobile city. It is also the favorite place of Theresa, the nominal owner of this mobile city. The koi raised in the lake are what she cares about most besides the operators on the island.

Wan pulled out a small piece of dry bread crumbs from the plastic bag and threw it into the lake below him. The moment the crumbs entered the lake, the surrounding water fluttered, probably because the creatures in the lake were fighting for food.

Wan and Saria stood on the wooden bridge beside the artificial lake, leaning their hands on the fence at the edge of the bridge.

The lake at night reflected the neon lights of the nearby commercial district, but it was surprisingly dark here, with few people walking around. Perhaps people on Rhodes Island now prefer bustling places, but this was also good, as it made it easier for the two old friends to reminisce about the past...

Saria didn't speak. She heard a crisp sound coming from the plastic bag in Wan's hand. Wan was kneading the dry bread inside into more pieces to make it easier for Koi to eat.

This guy who doesn't treat humans as living things is particularly caring towards irrational beasts.

Saria thought again of what happened in the convenience store before. The guy Wan robbed the cash register in front of her and slapped the cashier's face with stacks of bills for entertainment. He seemed very happy. Maybe abusing others was just a part of his daily relaxation. He fed on the suffering of others.

If you knew what she had done in the past, you would understand that she has actually turned over a new leaf now, having transformed from a violent dragon into a cute little koi fish...

After teasing the cashier, Wan walked into the store again, took the leftover bread scraps on the baking counter, and strode out of the main door. No one dared to stop him. This thing came with momentum and left in style, as if there was no one who could restrain her since Theresa passed away. (Even when Theresa was here, she couldn't do that...)

Saria was unmoved by what happened in the store. She felt a strong sense of hallucination, as if everything happening around her was just an interactive movie surrounding her, not real...

After Wan stepped out of the automatic door, he turned around and looked at Saria who was stunned in the store. He pointed at the pile of things next to Saria and said, "Take your cigarettes, alcohol, and chocolates. Let's go out for a walk."

"Ah..." Saria, who was still in a trance, subconsciously echoed, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.

Shen Shiwan had already walked a hundred meters away from the convenience store.

Saria followed in panic, she didn't know why she did this, wasn't Wan the person she hated the most? Wasn't he her master's mortal enemy? Shouldn't she be irreconcilable with him?

Arter Lingshan's two-year-old chess story

Then why was that guy acting like an old friend, even more friendly than Mel? Why did her body unconsciously follow that abominable thing?

Saria couldn't figure it out. There were so many messed up things that happened today, Ifrit's thing, Mel's thing, Hummer's thing, the courier's thing... She simply gave up thinking and let her feelings do it.

Saria trotted after Shang Wan with a plastic bag in her hand, followed her to the roadside, and got into the small electric van parked on the roadside.

Saria is familiar with this thing. It was allocated to employees for transportation in the park when Wan was still the president of Rhine. It is famous for its low cost and mediocre quality. It is a product of cooperation with the "Wucai Hongguang" enterprise of Yan Country. There is a big Rhine Life logo printed on the front of the car, and the color scheme is also the distinctive green and white.

"Are you going to drive this thing?" Saria said to Wan who was starting the car when she closed the door. The small cabin of this car forced her to bend her waist all the time, and the horns on her head still hit the roof. There is a hole specially opened on the seat for the tail, which can accommodate the thick tail in the rear compartment. There is also a matching tail massage pad behind Wan's main driver's seat.

A closer look at Wan's body reveals that she is much "mini" than when she was in Rhine Life. She has shrunk to the height of a normal woman of 1.6 meters. This is probably due to the convenience of operating this thing. It is said that Nian, Xi and others are not as tall as before.

"What else? Do you want me to drive you in a Rolls-Royce? Don't ask too much," Wan said disapprovingly. She reached out and touched the main control screen of the electric car, and the car stereo began to play the local music of Yan Country that Saria could not understand. Saria knew a little bit of Yan Country language, but it was limited to slow conversation.

"The price of Originium fuel has risen again in Rhodes Island recently," Saria recalled the news she heard on the radio, "Is that why you drive this electric car? But aren't the Model series of electric cars from Thor Industries better now? Thor Industries makes a lot of money selling that, more than it did selling arms in the past."

"Ah?" Wan tilted his head and looked at Saria. "Do you think I care about the increase in gas prices? Driving is just a pastime for me. Even the most advanced sports car is just a toy. If I want to pursue efficiency, why not fly myself? It's faster and more convenient! I can go anywhere in this world in ten minutes! In this case, there is no need to pursue any high-end products. It's enough to be able to drive."

Wan's tone was very high and sounded particularly sarcastic.

Ever since Saria mentioned "Thor Industries", Wan's attitude became much more intense. Saria didn't know the relationship between Wan and Thor Industries. She just thought that Wan regarded Thor Industries as a competitor. She didn't have any good feelings towards it, so she didn't care too much.

"I'm a pragmatist, that's all," Wan said, strangling the topic of Thor Industries. She then slapped the center of the steering wheel, forcing the van to honk. She glanced at Saria through the rearview mirror and said seriously, "Fasten your seat belt. The island has recently installed traffic cameras. If you are caught not wearing a seat belt on the passenger seat, your driver's license will be deducted."

"Ah?" Saria did as she was told and asked in confusion, "You actually got a driver's license?"

"Another stupid question. You always ask questions like these even though you already know the answer. How can I drive this without a license? Do you think this thing is for grandma?" Wan stepped on the pedal, steering the minivan past the stop and heading toward the center of the road on the left.

She turned the steering wheel and said to Saria, "You actually don't know how to chat with people, right? You always end up killing the conversation. Of course, I can't blame you, because it was your unfortunate childhood that made you develop this weird personality."

Wan said this in a calm tone, making Saria confused as to whether she really believed it or was just taking the opportunity to mock her.

Alas... so what? Could Saria refute it now? She had no choice but to accept the loss.

After driving for a while, Wan started talking again. She didn't seem to be communicating, but more like venting her emotions, like an old man who is jealous of the world and talks to himself:

"People nowadays always like to categorize themselves. When I was selling this small commuter car, the 4S store clerk invited me to join a car group, saying that there were owners of the same model sharing their car experience and exchanging their feelings about using the car. I thought it was stupid at the time, so I didn't join."

"What does it mean if you buy this car? Does it make you a member of a group?"

"Nowadays, if you buy a BMW, you are a BMW owner; if you buy a Ferrari, you are a Ferrari owner; if you buy a Thor, you are a Thor owner. When you do something, you will unconsciously be labeled by others, and then those people will arbitrarily classify you into a certain group of people according to the label, and most people are happy to be classified."

"What is this called?"

"Hmm..." Even if Wan asked Saria, Saria didn't know how to answer. Her intuition told her that it would be better not to speak now.

"Is it that people nowadays lack a sense of identity?" Wan asked himself, "Just like they are still blindly pursuing brands and trendy toys, I can't appreciate them anyway, I prefer private customization.

"

"Maybe..." Saria agreed. She opened the window on her side and leaned against it to feel the

The cold night wind blowing outside made her more awake and realized that she was not dreaming.

I didn't expect Wan would have such a worldly side.

"What do you think of me? Do you think I'm the villain in the old Eastern animations who spends all day thinking about destroying the world? Who has no life of his own except planning ridiculous plans to destroy the world?"

"That's so flat, I mean it's so boring to live like that."

"Were you reading my mind just now?" asked Saria.

"I never need to read your mind, because your thoughts will automatically flow into my brain. In fact, you have been expressing your thoughts all the time, which is almost the same as streaking in the world of people like us. Xiao Er must not have taught you how to block and hide your thoughts before..."

"Ah?!" Saria was stunned again.

"Don't be so surprised," Wan narrowed his eyes, smacked his lips, and made a "tsk tsk~" sound.

"This is common sense, don't act like I'm the first person in the world to say this to you."

“……………………”, Saria remained silent.

"Xiaoer didn't actually teach you how to live in our world, did he?" Wan Yu said earnestly. This guy now acted like an elder. "He only taught you how to survive, so you were able to survive in major battles. But when everything calmed down, various problems were exposed. You are probably worried about this now."

"Sareya, in the end you are still just a person who can only survive but not live. There were many people like you in the past. Most of them grew up in troubled times, trained in unique skills, and developed extreme personalities. These are advantages in the struggle for hegemony, but when the world is pacified, such people are the biggest destabilizing factor."

"Your current life conflicts with your nature as the [Emperor God of War]. I don't know how long you can survive in this environment. Perhaps when the order of this world completely collapses, you will be able to thrive in the chaotic world, and then you will be able to dominate the world..."

"I won't let that day come," Saria interrupted Wan, who tactfully stopped talking, "Okay, let time prove everything."

Wan stopped the car. They had arrived at their destination, an artificial lake not far away.

That’s all for today.

Volume 291: Chapter Chapter Selfishness and Selflessness

"When Theresa was still here, she often told me to take good care of the operators here and the koi fish she raised. The Rhodes Island convenience store would start to deal with the unsold bread at around 7 or 8 at night, and every time I passed by, I would take some to feed the fish..."

Wan's face looked much paler and more sad in the moonlight at night. Only in her quiet moments could Saria realize that the person next to her had outstanding beauty.

Wan is an iconic lady as long as she doesn't make any expression or speak. Her deeply rooted image as a dog and donkey can be largely attributed to her failed expression management and her easily out-of-control emotions.

Now Wan no longer wears the vest cape she used to wear, but casual clothes normally. She wears a suit windbreaker with a black leather waistband, loose pants and wide-leg leather boots, and her hair is neatly styled. At first glance, she looks like a street beauty that can be seen everywhere.

Although Saria had countless questions, she had no idea where to start. For example, how was Theresa assassinated, whether the person who killed her was Theresis's man, how did Wan come back to life, and why did Wan abandon the identity of Blade Master and declare Blade Master dead, etc.

Saria joined Babel Tower as a mid-level senior official. Because of the nature of her position, she was able to learn many unknown things in the organization. However, her authority was not yet at the highest level, so she only had a partial understanding of many confidential matters.

They had been in a subtle silence since they got off the bus. Wan bent down and picked up a can of beer from the ground, unscrewed the pull ring on the can and put it to her lips to taste it. This was a bit strange. If it was the Wan that Saria knew in the past, she would definitely use her strength to suck up the can of beer directly. She never did such a thing herself.

"You seem to rarely use the power of the magnetic field now," Saria finally broke the silence. She also picked up a can of beer and drank, "You can drive now, abide by the rules set by others, and even bend down to pick up beer..."

"Because we need to live, right? The power of magnetic field is indeed omnipotent. When we become strong enough, we can live without food or water, without rest or sleep, and even become gods in the eyes of ordinary people. But we cannot give up our human habits. Although we don't feel hungry, we still eat. Although we don't feel hot or thirsty in the desert, we still want to drink ice water..."

"Similarly, it is difficult for us to give up our emotions as human beings. It is easy to be cruel, but it is difficult to be heartless."

"So we finally

It is impossible to become a true God..."

"No matter how strong we are, we can only be considered close to God. Even if it's just a prayer, I still hope you can remember this."

Although Wan frowned slightly when he said this, he still spoke in a calm tone.

"…………………………", Saria was silent for more than three minutes after hearing this. She could never believe that these words came from the mouth of that high and mighty Wan. Didn't this guy like to call himself a god in the past? But now he said such words...

"Wan has repented, I should forgive her..." Saria thought silently in her heart, but then she heard the voice of her younger self:

"That's all pretending, it's acting. You should know best that people like them will pretend to do anything to achieve their goals. That's what dogs and donkeys are like."

"But I am Ifrit's father now... I have a family now... I can no longer be as impulsive as I was before..."

"Sareya, just think of it as your most respected master, okay? Use [Explosive Fist] on Wanbao!" (Become a Explosive Fist launcher)

"Nonsense... No... I can't do that!" Saria cut off this thought. Her strong consciousness also felt something, so she asked with concern:

"Are you okay?"

Before she knew it, the beer can in Saria's hand had been crushed by her uncontrolled strength, and the beer inside splashed all over her, soaking the leather on her chest. The damp feeling flowed into the vest inside...

"It's okay... I just thought about the past again. Recently, I always think about my father when I go to sleep. My biological father. He passed away a few years ago, but I still dream about him. I dream about how he treated me in the past. I am afraid that I will become like him in the future... I am afraid that I will become a bad elder..."

"Perhaps everyone will become the person they hate," Wan recalled, "A long time ago, our mother always favored my sister. I was disgusted by her partiality, and I still feel the same way now. If she could have given me the same love as she did to me, would I not have become like this? I always think about this kind of thing..."

"But when I became a mother, I realized that I was actually the same as my mother. I was also biased and treated my children differently..."

"How can we make up for this?"

"Is that why you let Bella kill you?" asked Saria, as she took out a handkerchief she carried with her to wipe the wine stains on her chest.

"Maybe... This was the only way I could compensate Bella at the time. I am biased, but my bias would not go to the point where I cannot tolerate it. If killing me is the only way to make up for it, then I can die for her."

"If I could be selfish and heartless, I could recover my strength and fear nothing. As long as my strength was restored to 500,000, no one in Columbia or even half of Terra could be my enemy. I could still kill those who betrayed me, find a way to repair my heart, and dominate without fear of anything."

"But what's the point? If endless selfishness can only bring a bottomless feeling and give me more emptiness, then selfishness is meaningless. So in the end, I, a selfish person, want to be selfless."

"Are you tired of being a villain and want to be a saint?" Saria asked back.

"Hehe~" Wan lowered her head and chuckled, "Hahahaha~hahahahahahaha~", her laughter became more and more cheerful, and after laughing for about forty or fifty seconds, she calmed down and replied to Saria:

“Maybe…”

Thousands of years ago, she became the most powerful person on earth through cruelty, massacre, conspiracy and persecution. After a hundred years of her powerful rule, her most doted son ended her ambition and she began to wander since then...

Thousands of years later, she has gained the right to rule a country through bribery, management, and secret manipulation. Her power has become unprecedentedly strong, and she is qualified to take back everything she has lost. But the cruel God still plays tricks on her, causing her to turn against her apprentice, and be plotted against and killed by her daughter...

Maybe all this is karma and retribution...

After her death, after experiencing a long darkness in which she could not perceive time, she was called back to this earth by ambitious people, as if God still did not want to let her go easily.

Since then, after experiencing a series of messy things, the people who had always gone against the will of heaven have become numb.

What will she want to do when she gets tired of it all?

Since then, she has tasted all the bitterness and sweetness in the world, done all the good and evil, and understood the reincarnation of all things.

She has begun to enter the [Ultimate]

Ending song: "Eternal Age"

Lyrics excerpt:

I have experienced endless rises and changes, and have seen endless peaks and madness. The prosperity and wealth cannot stay by my side, and accompany me to spend another thousand years~

I can't get out of that vortex and keep falling.

I let death stop, and my soul is also dedicated, even if it means sacrificing all tenderness and purity. I live forever in this world, and I can walk through every mountain, but I can't step into the nightmare in my heart~

I let death stop, forget fear and ignorance, but I am still restless and tired. This is a sin that I brought upon myself, and it cannot be changed.

Those people who loved me in my memories have now become rotten photos. The years of nostalgia collapsed in an instant, leaving only the gray called beautiful

烟~

Have I become the representative of God, or have I become a lingering evil ghost? I am in heaven, but I cannot fly, nor can I fall into the abyss of hell.

Sadness and sorrow continue to revolve in the long life~

I let death cease, break through the constraints of fate, and let the flaws of life be erased and covered up, but I can no longer endure such years, I am willing to end with a smile and welcome destruction~

This sin that I brought upon myself is being repeated endlessly around me. This sorrow that will last forever, who can help me resolve it?

...................................................

That’s all for today.

Volume 292: Chapter Chapter I Love Dogs

"Um... can I ask you a question? I've always wanted to know..." Saria hesitated, rubbing her hands against the railing as she spoke. After a series of interactions, she began to feel that she and Wan were getting closer.

"Is it about Rhodes Island or Theresa? I will try my best to answer you without violating the confidentiality agreement..." Wan glanced at Saria, picked up the beer and took a few sips, "Well... considering that you accompany me to relax today."
