Jiang Heyi launched another direct attack without realizing it, causing the French fries who had been trying to get up and drag him to exercise to slump down again for a while.

"If I can do it for 10 minutes every morning, I feel like I can stay energized until night," Jiang Heyi admitted.

"Does simply holding him have this effect?"

The fries, who had just stood up, turned around and put his hands behind his back.

She tiptoed slightly.

Jiang Heyi felt a fragrant breeze waft by, and the face of the French fries quickly magnified, revealing clearly long eyelashes.

A warm, smooth sensation flashed across my lips.

After doing all this, Fries seemed to realize something. She immediately turned around, her cheeks and earlobes covered in blood.

Jiang Heyi wasn't in much better shape either; his brain completely shut down, and his mind was filled with that brief moment playing on repeat.

Sometimes, when the atmosphere is right, and things just happen naturally, our brains just start acting impulsively.

I don't know why the fries suddenly did that; it's like their brain just... short-circuited?

Unable to control myself, I...

Indeed, I really like him.

"Um~~~"

Both kettles had boiled, and they turned their backs to each other, collapsing onto the sofa in silence.

Exercise was forgotten; their bodies were now focused on feeding their brains to process the excessive sweetness and calorie explosion they had just experienced.

Jiang Heyi was the first to recover. Looking at the other French fries lying stiffly like an exhausted fish, he touched his still-steaming hot forehead.

"French fries... I couldn't taste anything."

"Do not talk……"

The faint sound of fries came from below, as he buried his head deeper into the pillow.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival, here's a little sweet treat for everyone.

Chapter 215 Can you tell the difference?

While the potato fries remained motionless, digesting their sugars, Chen Shaoyu pushed open the door to the Candlelight Office.

Today she didn't "hold her head in her hands," but sat upright.

Chen Shaoyu immediately reported on the online buzz surrounding the "Mint Lucky Pendant" and the eager players.

Monitoring sudden hot topics in the game and reporting them in a timely manner is also part of their job.

How does the Candlelight Association view this incident?

as well as……

"Does this pendant really have hidden panel attributes?"

Even with the authorization from the candle flame, he couldn't access the game's deeper data.

Under the candlelight, Chen Shaoyu realized that this time, curiosity had overridden his long-held principles.

He actually asked it out loud.

"Have."

The candlelight actually answered.

This time it was Chen Shaoyu's turn to be shocked. It was actually true! The community posts and the big UP in the gaming section said that the motion experience was real!

“However…” Candlelight added, “the probability is very low.”

"Only when you become a companion to Mint will the trigger probability be slightly higher."

Chen Shaoyu swallowed hard: "So, by killing Mint, they obtained a much weaker version of the Lucky Charm?"

"That's enough to make players flock to it, isn't it?" Candlelight laughed. "Even without the 'good luck' attribute, just the name alone will excite players."

"This is a small reward for players who entered the Mint storyline but unexpectedly lost their way."

Chen Shaoyu's lips twitched.

"After tonight, many players will probably cut off all further contact."

Candlelight smiled: "The choice they made didn't surprise me. In fact, this scene is very familiar; it happened not long ago."

Not long ago?

What happened on other servers?

In the Chinese server, Chen Shaoyu did not detect any similar incidents.

When he came to his senses, he realized that the candlelight was staring straight at him.

not good!

I was so curious today, I not only asked questions, but I asked so many!

"It's strange that even a person who adheres to principles would break their principles out of curiosity."

Chen Shaoyu was drenched in sweat, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a suitable explanation.

“You said last time that curiosity is the source of human progress, and I agree with that.”

"You showed the same trait today... Here's another question, go ahead and ask."

The unexpected turn of events left Chen Shaoyu stunned for several seconds before he realized that the candlelight had given him another chance to ask a question.

He took a deep breath and asked the question again, the one he had vaguely answered last time but was still unclear about.

"Where have all the civilizations in this universe, besides ours, gone?"

"I erased it."

hum~~~

Chen Shaoyu's mind went blank, and all he could hear was a buzzing sound.

One sentence was enough to make his eyes lose focus and his soul fly away.

"The boundary between reality and illusion, and the humor of the bed, really intrigued me. I tried to imitate it. How was it? Did it send chills down your spine?"

hiss……

Chen Shaoyu was almost exhausted; he leaned on the table and nearly collapsed.

"Please...please don't joke about this kind of thing."

He doesn't even smile when he's joking; his composure is terrifying!

"I thought you were the kind of person who could eat and drink as usual even if the world were destroyed, who wouldn't take anything to heart, and who would just go home, move a chair to the balcony, and watch the moment of destruction."

The candlelight said, "I was curious too, so I gave it a try."

A wonderful curiosity.

"To answer your question."

Candlelight adjusted his posture and said solemnly, "Indeed, eleven nascent civilizations were born in this universe before you, but without exception, they all went out."

“Young… perhaps that’s not quite accurate. If we measure you by our standards, you are currently just infants.”

"So, including us, there are only 12?" Chen Shaoyu asked incredulously. "The universe is so vast, according to probability, this doesn't make sense."

"The probability you perceive is far too lenient."

After speaking softly, the candlelight snapped its fingers.

A nebula surrounded the two of them.

Chen Shaoyu stared in disbelief, feeling like a world-destroying giant looking down at these colossal objects whose real-world spans started at tens or even hundreds of light-years.

"The development of intelligent civilization is far more demanding and difficult than you can imagine."

"Only the lucky ones would assume that everything is full of possibilities beneath the cold probability numbers."

"We have witnessed countless ruins of civilizations, destroyed for various reasons."

"Those who can escape the curse of destruction are few and far between, throughout the journey."

"Some civilizations are like butterflies emerging from their chrysalis, struggling with all their might to break free from their predicament, but they miss the crucial moment, lose their reserves, and drown forever."

"Some civilizations did nothing wrong, but when they reached the end of the road, they found there was nowhere to go."

“And some…” A gust of wind stirred the candlelight, and the starlight shattered like bubbles. “Fate is never on their side.”

“Besides that, we’ve seen far too much.”

"The universe is far more desolate than you can imagine."

"Dull and without luster".

The candlelight flickered softly and slowly, its calm demeanor stirring a storm within Chen Shaoyu.

His palms were sweating, and his breathing became heavy.

The brief words contained a vast amount of information that left his mind in a state of chaos.

"It seems this has piqued your curiosity even more."

Chen Shaoyu took a deep breath and nodded.

"Bonus time, ask away."

"What exactly is your purpose...?"

Chen Shaoyu got straight to the point.

"From your description, I can tell that you do not belong to our current universe, perhaps you come from a civilization that we cannot understand at all... or a pre-civilization?"

"Is your job really just to bring a game to our lives and let us have fun?"

Candlelight shook his head: "As a bonus, this is beyond the scope of what I promised you."

"When we first met, the big shots in your eyes also bravely asked me this question, and all they got in return was doubt."

"The only thing I can tell you is... I have no ill intentions towards you."

"If what you are looking for is not found, I will still give you a spark."

"Flame?"

“This is no longer something you should know,” Candlelight said. “You wouldn’t want those important figures coming to you personally, would you?”

Chen Shaoyu took a deep breath.

"My question wasn't answered earlier, but I'm free to ask again."

He had never felt so brave.

At that moment, curiosity overwhelmed principles and swallowed the fear of losing his job.

"Whether you can ask or not is up to me," Candlelight said with a slight smile. "As a reward for seeing your explosive curiosity, you can ask."

"What I want to know now is, why were we chosen?"

Despite the promise of the candlelight, the future will be known.

But knowing too much today, he couldn't hold back any longer.

As far as Chen Shaoyu knew, the operation of each server location was decided entirely by Zhu Huo.

The number of players on each server varies.

Based on previous discussions in the community, the number across all servers is approximately 1300.

The highest number of cases is currently 79 in the Chinese server.

Don't you think this is too wasteful?

"It's hard for people to stay rational all the time," Chen Shaoyu sighed.

Candlelight smiled and said, "In that case, I'll tell you the reason after we enter the game tonight."

As time slowly passed and evening fell, the hottest topics in various gaming communities remained firmly locked onto Mint.

This is the highest level of Mint's popularity outside of the game.
