Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

On the other side, Bianca also quietly explained to Xing and Kiana.

"The store manager's intention should be to tell Luca that everyone is born to die, and even the vast universe follows the same principle. It's normal to shrink back out of fear of death, but it's more important to realize that there's more to life than just death."

"Is that so?" Xing and Kiana were both a little skeptical.

"So, if we look at the world from a single person's perspective, it's like this: when he opens his eyes, the world is born, and when he closes them, the world is destroyed. It's not the world that determines his life or death, but he determines the world's continuation."

Wang Xuanqiao continued to speak to Luca.

"But this...this is too unbelievable, right?" Luca's breathing had almost evened out, and his voice gradually returned to normal.

"There's nothing strange about this. When a person dies, does that mean he can no longer feel the world?"

Luca nodded blankly.

"That world, which cannot be felt, has simply vanished for him, hasn't it?" Wang Xuanqiao shrugged. "You might be talking about objective facts, or perhaps about the remaining family and friends. But if we talk about objective facts, life itself has no meaning. And as for family and friends who are still alive, after death, we have no connection with them."

After saying that, Wang Xuanqiao walked to the Yuzhao screen in Luca's lounge and enlarged the schedule of the knockout round, so that the portraits of those who were marked with elimination marks due to failure could be clearly seen by Luca.

"As for those things you're thinking about, about trying hard but still losing in the end, I suggest you look at the players you've eliminated along the way. You can certainly argue that they didn't give their all, and so can the people who beat you."

"But......"

“Failure does not determine whether effort is useless; death does not determine whether life is meaningless.”

Wang Xuanqiao's words made Luca shut up completely. He frowned, used the mechanical arm to support his chin, and fell into deep thought.

The cold feeling brought back Luca's memories of what had happened on the field not long ago. Portio had shot his robotic arm in pieces, but if he had been just a bit slower, the bullet would have shattered his head instead of his arm.

At that moment, Luca felt deeply powerless, and felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the fact that he would fail.

Just like... Maggie who fought the disease desperately but still died in the end.

As long as a person stands on the playing field, he is destined to fail one day.

As long as people live in this world, they are destined to die one day.

This is a destined fact, a rule that cannot be changed by humans.

But if that's the case, why do people still strive? Why do people still live?

Luca looked at Wang Xuanqiao, at the schedule beside him that showed all the contestants he had eliminated, and at the camera lady and other people around him who were watching him.

Luca recalled the victory loaned to him by Jeppard and the advice given to him before he set out from Beloberg, as well as the instructions given to him by the Great Guardian Bronya and his Earth Fire colleague Seele.

Finally, he remembered again the brief time he had spent chatting with Maggie.

Maggie fought so hard against the disease, but she ultimately lost. In life, you'll encounter powerful and insurmountable enemies like Poteo. What can you do about it?

Even something as vast as the universe will eventually be annihilated! How can a tiny human being escape such a rule?

Just like when a person is born into the world, before he opens his eyes, the world is empty, with only nothingness; but after he opens his eyes, the world is full of life and everything in it flourishes.

Luca's emotions, which had been surging like a raging storm, suddenly calmed down.

Maggie lost.

Did Maggie lose?

No. The disease took away only her life, and life is something destined to die.

Why do we live? Why do we strive? Because there are more important things in life than life and death, winning or losing!

The world begins when I open my eyes and ends when I close them.

Luca let out a long breath and suddenly raised his fist vigorously.

"I understand!" he said loudly, "Mr. Manager, I will continue to strive!"

Is it really cured?! Xing widened her eyes, first looking at Luca, then at Wang Xuanqiao, a little confused.

——The author has something to say——

It’s been a long time since I last complained.

Yesterday or the day before yesterday, there was a plot in the prologue of our book, which was about Ah Qiao asking Dadandan for an arcade as a reward for completing the reincarnation space. It brought together three nonsensical complaints. Since there was also someone who claimed that our Ah Qiao could not beat the Black Tower and that his combat power was suspected to be unable to explode stars, I gave them the nickname "Three Idiots".

As a result, today, 'Naoma Sansha' has become 'Naoma Sisha'!

I laughed out loud when I saw it. I didn't expect that the value of weird things would increase so quickly.

So what did the "Nao Ma Si Sha" do? It's pretty simple, and I've even complained about it before, saying that it's too stupid for Ah Qiao to ask for an arcade as a reward. He should have the ability to travel through worlds and do it himself in the high-tech world.

I'm speechless. Granted, the prologue might not tell some people whether Ah Qiao has reached the level of being able to easily cross the world, but clearing the reincarnation space doesn't rely on infinitely redeeming points. The requirement to clear the level is to complete a special mission. I think this is clearly implied, right?

I have to put it in plain words: Ah Qiao had everything he needed at the time, and didn't have any real needs at all, so he just followed his old wish and bought a game room to live comfortably. Do you understand?

That's why there are always these self-proclaimed smart people talking nonsense here, which really makes people confused. They can only choose to give up the desire to help others and laugh at them loudly.

Haha, what a joke!

Volume 302: : Are you the store manager?

Luca's heart disease was thus cured by Wang Xuanqiao. However, to Ka Meili, who was completely unaware of the truth, it seemed as if Wang Xuanqiao had hit Luca on the head and knocked him unconscious. He then lay unconscious on the ground for a while, and after waking up, he listened to some strange and bizarre teachings and finally got enlightened.

Rather than believing that Luca understood something from those words, Kameili would rather believe that it was the power of that brain explosion.

Although there are still many people who haven't figured it out, such as Xing, the more important thing right now is whether Luca's journey to the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony will end here.

Luka's popularity was already high. After all, with Topa, the boss who bets on every contestant, it was hard for Luka, with his talent and story, to be unpopular. After everyone confirmed that Luka was qualified for the resurrection match, he began to devote himself to training.

It is true that Xing is the coach, but Luca’s training tasks are his own responsibility, so she followed Wang Xuanqiao.

If Wang Xuanqiao doesn't figure out where the end of the universe is today, Xing will not let him go.

"You ask me what I did to Luca?"

Wang Xuanqiao, flanked by a star on his left and a Kiana on his right, walked forward, trapped from both sides. This gave him a subtle feeling of the road becoming narrower, a reminiscence of watching the walls of a secret chamber slowly squeeze towards him in the reincarnation space.

"It's essentially about ejecting his soul from his body and throwing it out, letting him explore the vast universe, reaching the beginning and end of all things, and then pulling him back."

He spoke nonchalantly, as if it were just a small matter. Although for Wang Xuanqiao, it was indeed a small matter.

As long as we can realize that the entire world is actually a contradictory structure that is finite on the outside but infinite on the inside, and add a little bit of strength, we can easily achieve this step.

"So amazing? Then can you take me there too?" Xing grabbed Wang Xuanqiao's arm and shook it. "When I get back, I can brag to everyone that I've seen the end of the universe."

"Why did you go see that thing?" Wang Xuanqiao pulled his hand back, a look of confusion on his face. "There's nothing there. The old hasn't died yet, and the new hasn't been born yet. It's just like Luca said, it's pitch black."

"Please, manager, I won't do anything." Xing clasped his hands together with a sincere look on his face.

"You should be able to do anything!" Even Kiana couldn't help but complain. "And the point isn't to see what the end of the universe looks like, right? Aren't you asking why Luca cheered up so quickly?"

"Ah? But Luca has cheered up. After all, the end of the universe is more interesting!" Xingli said unconvincingly.

"If you don't ask, then I will." Kiana hugged Wang Xuanqiao's arm, "Manager, do you know what's going on in Luca's heart?"

After hearing Bianca's explanation, Kiana had some idea of the answer, but she still lacked the information that would tie everything together. She had originally thought Xing would ask, but she hadn't expected him to suddenly become concerned about the end of the universe.

There is no other way, so I have to ask myself.

"I guess so. In fact, Xing should also know about this. She has investigated this matter with Xier before." Wang Xuanqiao did not pull out his arm that was held in Kiana's arms, and talked about this matter related to Luca with several people.

Through their previous acquaintance, everyone knew that Luca had become the ring champion in Panyan Town to prevent the children who naturally idolized the ring stars from learning bad habits. He had endured many hardships on his way to the top, but he finally achieved his dream of reaching the most shining position.

So, he naturally became the idol of the children in Rock Town, and Maggie was one of them.

Maggie is a seriously ill child. Born in the abandoned Lower Town of Cocolia, she lacks access to adequate medical resources to cure her illness. Despite the best efforts of the Lower Town doctors, all they can do is rely on Maggie's will to live.

It was a true life-or-death struggle. Young Maggie faced a formidable disease, determined only by victory could she earn the right to continue living. However, her opponent grew stronger day by day, while Maggie grew weaker. Without help, she could only rely on her fighting spirit to comfort herself, but she stood no chance of victory.

Luca had assumed Maggie was just one of the many children who were fans, because she had never shown her serious illness to anyone. As for her pale complexion, it was masked by the fact that most children in the downtown area were like that.

It was not until Maggie watched the last Rock Town match in her life that Luca learned from Maggie's confession that she was seriously ill. Maggie said goodbye to Luca, knowing that she was about to lose the match.

Feeling somewhat overwhelmed by this truth, Luca could only comfort Maggie, saying that as long as she didn't give up fighting, she would be able to defeat the disease and recover her health. He also made an appointment with her to come and watch his game again.

However, Maggie, who never gave up, lost. After winning a great match, Luca went to visit her, but was told by Maggie's father that she had passed away.

Sometimes reality is like this, it can't be determined by willpower alone. Luca began to doubt himself because of this. He thought about how he worked so hard to set a good example for the children, but he couldn't even help Maggie win.

Life is an arena that sometimes likes to create dead ends that people have to win, forcing them to fight hard, but in the end it uses failure to take away people's efforts.

Luca was constantly tormented by this feeling of powerlessness. He tried hard to do more, but found that his efforts were useless. Luca had already tried hard to cheer himself up, because he was still a role model for the children in the downtown area, so he couldn't be depressed.

The unfamiliar environment after leaving Beloberg and arriving on the Luofu Immortal Boat slowly eroded his mental strength, and the confrontation with Poteo made Luca once again experience the profound powerlessness of not being able to decide his own life or death. With so many factors pressing together, he collapsed in an instant.

After all, Luca wasn't really an adult, just a kid who had just come to prominence. It was the cruelty of the Lower Town's past that forced him to shoulder responsibilities that weren't his age.

Wang Xuanqiao filled in the missing information, and Kiana and Bianca completely understood where Luca's heart knot was and why it could be relieved in such a way, and they each sighed softly.

Xing didn't say anything, nor did she ask how Wang Xuanqiao knew something that only she and Xi'er should know. She recalled Maggie's last letter, a letter filled with childlike innocence, without fear or sadness, only hope for a future and regret for not being able to move forward.

"The world begins when I open my eyes and ends when I close my eyes..." Xing suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"That's why we must always look forward." She was about to say something when she was suddenly shocked by the message received by the terminal, and the spell was terminated.

Xing took out the terminal and saw that it was actually a message from Ling Ke. Luca wasn't the only one who came to Luofu Xianzhou from Beloberg this time. There was also Shiwaro, who was in charge of contacting alien civilizations, Hook, who was just there for fun, and Ling Ke, who was investigating the Jade Omen relics.

Lingke asked Xing if she was with Luca, hoping that she could take Luca to Taipusi.

After reading the message, Xing turned around and tried to take advantage of Bianca's "Somersault Cloud." Otherwise, if he took the Xingcha to Taipusi at this time, the driver might not be willing to go.

Just kidding, if you go to the business district, you can still attract some customers, but if you go to Taibusi, you will have to pay for your way back.

Having just finished their promotional match, and with no extra matches scheduled for today, Bianca graciously acted as driver, taking both Wang Xuanqiao and Kiana to Taipusi to watch the fun.

Lingke originally wanted Xing to bring Luca over to listen to Igor's history, but she didn't expect Xing to bring such a large group of people. For a moment, she was a little unsure how to greet them.

Fortunately, she recognized that the people who followed them were the popular group Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao in the current Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony. She went up to them first to ask for their autographs and get closer to them.

Qingque, the kind-hearted Taibusi staff member that Lingkou loved, also came over at this time with Yuzhao who had recovered slightly.

"Wow! Why are there so many people here?" Qingque was also shocked. Logically, there should only be two people coming at this time.

However, she quickly recognized the identities of these extra visitors, and her eyes immediately lit up, with her gaze particularly focused on Wang Xuanqiao.

"Manager! Are you the manager that Lord Si Ding mentioned?"

Of course I have to post the bluebird.jpg

Volume 303: : For Hometown, For Mother

Qingque's sudden enthusiasm made Wang Xuanqiao think of a possibility - could she be thinking of changing jobs?

As expected, Qingque's first question was to inquire about any vacancies. However, her actions didn't indicate she was about to pack up and run; rather, she was looking for a way out. Perhaps it was because of Suiyang's rebellion that she had begun to harbor a desire for something far away.

Wang Xuanqiao had originally planned to wait until the martial arts ceremony was over before asking Luca if he wanted to apply for a card, but Qingque just happened to mention it, so he simply invited him and Lingke at the same time.

Seeing the store manager mentioned by Lingsha so eagerly trying to squeeze in advertising and sales, Qingque's heart suddenly began to falter. Why did he look like a top seller? If he really did change jobs, wouldn't it be even more outrageous than Taibusi's job?

Yes, it shouldn't be! How could being a clerk in a place like a game hall be more outrageous than being in Taibusi? Qingque told herself that it was a good place that Lord Si Ding mentioned casually. Lord Si Ding was such a good person, how could he lie?

Luca was very interested in applying for the card, but Lingke was a bit less interested. Wang Xuanqiao wasn't surprised. After all, the Langdao family's little sister had low external demands, and even her basic social needs were met by her older siblings, brother, and close friends.

Hoshimi Reiko wasn't too interested, so she told her she could use the arcade as a supply station that could be refreshed at any time in the wild. After this change of perspective, Reiko's enthusiasm immediately increased by dozens of times, even higher than Luca's.

Wang Xuanqiao hadn't been a big deal before, but now he had to give Xing a thumbs-up. This member was capable, and she really helped to attract customers.

But there was more to the story right now. Ling Ke had contacted Xing and asked her to bring Luca to Taipusi so that Luca could be the first to see Igor's Jade Omen Records.

Although this 'first person' includes quite a few people...

The jade omen stored in Igor's cenotaph is an antique from more than 700 years ago. Qingque tried hard to rescue it, but only part of it has been restored so far.

This part of the record is about the time when Igor left Yalilo No. 6. At that time, he had not yet set foot on the immortal ship, so it must have been transferred from another carrier.

In the memory video, Igor, who had just arrived at the Milky Way, learned that his hometown had been invaded by the Legion of Destruction. He chose to participate in the Universal Boxing Tournament to seek help from all galactic civilizations for Yalilo VI.

Igor not only sought to "cure" his homeland, but also to prevent it for other civilizations that hadn't yet "sickened." After each victory, he chose to forgo his title and reward in exchange for the opportunity to inform everyone about the threat of the Legion of Destruction and the need for help from Yarilo VI.

However, his efforts so far have only earned him sympathy, and he has not been able to bring even an army to his hometown.
