When Bronya was a child, she told Seele (White) that she would protect her for life, but after she became rebellious as an adult, she still ended up working at Shenzhou Chuang Company.
When Xing was a kid, she said she wanted to be the boss for life, but she ended up getting beaten down by Bronya from childhood to adulthood.
"We've always been like this since we were little..."
Alicia felt somewhat insecure and a little guilty.
"Didn't you already breach the contract?"
Hei Xi ruthlessly exposed her.
Alicia paused for a moment, her tone tinged with sadness: "I saw people joking like that in high school, and later I found out that they were joking like that because they were actually siblings."
The older sister takes the community registration form, tricks her younger brother or sister into signing it, and then claims that the two are married. They can then divorce that same afternoon and swindle the younger brother or sister out of their New Year's money or secret stash.
Even if her parents found out, they would mostly just scold her for being silly. But Alicia forgot one thing: others could do this because they were real siblings.
Hei Xi opened her mouth, wanting to say something sarcastic, but seeing Alicia's slightly lowered head, she swallowed her words.
“Alicia.” She changed the subject, her voice drifting lazily on the wind: “If one day, all it takes for you to do is pull the trigger on An Yu to save the world… what would you do?”
There was no immediate response. Hei Xi stretched lazily, leaned against the slightly frail back of the electric scooter, and looked up at the azure sky.
Alicia, in my dream I truly hoped that you and An Yu could live happily ever after. You are both so radiant, and you take care of and support each other.
"Why... does the challenge of saving the world always fall on my shoulders?"
Alicia didn't remain silent for long; her voice was filled with confusion, and even hinted at a sense of grievance.
Why does she always have to make these cruel choices? She wants to be impulsive just this once, she wants to stand by the person she cares about without hesitation! But she can't...
Moreover, why did you have to let her know the plot? Why did you have to make her understand the optimal solution?
If you know nothing, and just watch others work hard and take on responsibilities like an ordinary person, isn't that a good thing?
“I know I’m a big kid now, I’m not a little kid anymore.”
"But I really don't know how to solve these kinds of problems... I've never been smart since I was a child, there are many things I just don't know or understand, but why do these problems seem to come up to me the more I try not to think about them?"
Don't you think this is very unfair?
But she is Alicia, and in dreams she is a goddess; her mission was destined from the moment she was born.
Isn't this kind of thing particularly unfair?
She didn't want this power at all; she just wanted to be an ordinary person who loved to laugh and could laugh freely, but she couldn't.
Because she knew the optimal solution, losing that sense of nobility in her heart would cause her to slide into the abyss and become a monster; she had to force herself to keep going.
Alicia isn't stupid. Even if she were, after experiencing so many things, how could she not understand anything?
During the Herrscher of the Void era, she really wanted to accept everything and simply win once, but after the Herrscher revealed the truth, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.
“You all always say I’m clinging to Xiaoyu… but we’ve been doing this since we were little. My grades aren’t as good as his, but I’ve always tried my best and never given up!”
“I didn’t even have a single friend growing up because I knew I wasn’t very talented. I thought it would be good if the two of us supported each other. But when I met Kevin and the others in college, and that shared dream that connected our destinies, I was so happy. I felt like I had friends.”
"Xiaoyu always stands by my side unconditionally. When I found out he was secretly saving money, I felt really bad too. So I thought I'd make a joke, like other people do, to test whether the relationship between the siblings had deteriorated!"
"Moreover, I can work part-time on my own later, so I don't have to watch Xiaoyu worry about tuition and living expenses all by herself."
"But I always make mistakes... You can laugh at me all you want, I won't let go anyway. Xiaoyu is always on my side, she won't blame me for being stupid, and she never looks down on me."
—But what if all the terrible things you experience in your dream were actually caused by An Yu?
Hei Xi suddenly felt as if something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.
And Alicia, do you know why An Yu's life has slowly become something you don't understand?
Not many people in the entire Anti-Entropy organization know about this, but Hei Xi is one of the few who knows what An Yu has been doing recently.
An Yu has even gradually recreated the world in her dreams at a near 1:1 scale.
The electric scooter slowly came to a stop by the roadside. Alicia braced herself on one leg, raised her hand and forcefully wiped the wet corner of her eyes, then lowered her head and remained silent.
Hei Xi handed her a tissue.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
Alicia's eyes were a little red. She stopped next to the trash can and quickly blew her nose.
I really don't know what these human organs are connected. When I'm sad, I get a runny nose and tears.
"It's okay. You two siblings have grown up together since you were little. You're not even related by blood, so it's normal for you to depend on each other and be attached to each other."
“It’s not attachment!” Alicia retorted instinctively.
Hei Xi neither denied nor agreed; she simply handed over a few more tissues.
"Alice, calm down. We're not children anymore, and life goes on."
It was rare for Hei Xi to speak a normal word, and Alicia quickly calmed herself down. Today was her first day at work, and it wouldn't look good to have red, swollen eyes.
The electric scooter set off again, and Alicia started to have some doubts halfway through the journey. Hei Xi asked her to calm down because she was afraid that An Yu would beat her up.
After all, there were only the two of them on the way, so the only one who could make her cry must be Hei Xi. However, she quickly dismissed the thought, considering that Hei Xi hadn't mocked her earlier.
Reson Studio wasn't far from where An Yu lived. From a distance, Alicia could see a figure leaning casually against a motorcycle, standing upright.
However, the other party was not a single person.
Volume 1: Chapter 192 190 Do you think I'm stupid?
The morning sunlight gilded the Reson Studio building. An Yu leaned against his motorcycle, his shadow stretched long, and his eyelids were slightly lowered.
"Hey hey hey~ Senbei~ Were you waiting for me?"
A lively voice broke the silence as Ling skipped into the company. Although Reson Studio didn't have any unspoken rules about arriving an hour early, she gradually began to like the company's atmosphere.
The older sister commented: "She's lost her mind."
"No."
An Yu raised her eyelids, saw the lively little girl who had gotten in through the back door, and shook her head mercilessly. H
"How heartless!"
Ling drew out her words, feigning disappointment.
"But, Senbei~" She took a few steps closer and asked curiously, "Was Anti-Entropy's anniversary celebration fun?"
The little girl's eyes sparkled; she wanted to see it for herself, but as a newly hired non-permanent employee, she obviously couldn't enjoy this benefit.
Not to mention that Reson Studios is not theoretically part of Anti-Entropy, although everyone knows it is a subsidiary of Anti-Entropy, but Bronya does not acknowledge it.
An Yu recalled her life a few days ago, first letting out a subconscious sigh, then a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
"It's actually quite fun."
The anniversary celebration was indeed quite fun. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that these few days at Anti-Entropy took up almost half of my time over the past two weeks.
"For example—" Ling tugged at her collar, raising her hands high: "Everyone! Shout out my name!"
An Yu: ...
He looked helplessly at this clown.
"An-Yu!!!" Qiu
Ling lowered her voice, mimicking the fans' enthusiastic shouts, but ultimately didn't dare to actually yell—she wasn't that awesome yet.
"The video has already been uploaded?"
An Yu remained silent for a while, already thinking about what she would face when she returned to the company.
"After all, it broke the world record."
Ling leaned against the wall, her tone carrying a hint of pride.
Since I arrived early today, there's no need to rush to clock in.
"My sister was stunned when she saw the video."
"And what about your sister?"
"Ah."
Ling nodded, her face suddenly becoming serious, and even her accent disappeared: "My sister told me that I should never make you angry at the company, otherwise, with your explosive power, you could kick me into a Ling-chan-like mess."
An Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Ling, however, remained serious and said, "Senior, this is not funny."
Even if you say that, I still find it very funny.
An Yu shook her head and changed the subject: "How have you been feeling at the company these past few days? Are you getting used to the work rhythm of Reson Studio?"
Ling pondered for a moment: "It's alright, anyway, it's not much different from before, except that instead of asking the senior for help, I've had to ask my sister to possess me multiple times."
"Remote control systems are truly the greatest invention of the 21st century!" Ling exclaimed.
"But are you waiting for Bronya here, senior?"
Ling looked around, still not understanding who An Yu was waiting for, but she was indeed a pleasing sight from a distance.
An Yu shook her head: "Wait for my sister."
"Miss Fairy!!!"
Ling's eyes lit up. Would Miss Fairy come today too?
"Yes, you'll be colleagues from now on."
Ling blinked again, cupping her small hands to her chest: "Do I work with my idol all day long?"
I feel incredibly lucky to have joined Reson Studio! Luckily, I have four years of work experience, otherwise I would have been in big trouble if I hadn't passed the interview.
"By the way, is Miss Fairy also responsible for writing code?"
We programmers are truly amazing! Indeed, coding is the right direction for the future!
An Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered a few words: "Her job is to be beautiful."
Ling was taken aback. What did that mean? Image and brand?
Miss Fairy is indeed her idol, but is it appropriate to have a streamer serve as the face of a company? Or is it more appropriate for a promising company like Reson Studio?
"I can't say for sure, but soon this will be all over the company group chat, and then you'll know."
An Yu covered her forehead. Although there are indeed many benefits to having mentally ill people join companies, the tax reduction is not that significant. However, most companies do not exclude such people from joining.
Moreover, Alicia is truly capable of being beautiful.
"By the way, Ling, things won't be so leisurely for the next few days."
An Yu reminded her softly.
After all, he hadn't wasted his time. He knew everything that could be figured out in the game, as well as all the plans and personnel that appeared before the Eight Laws.
Now he is in charge of the world-building work of 9, and 4 can be said to be plagiarism. He will write down the entire outline of the game, and the work efficiency of the plot planner will also increase. In the end, the programmer will definitely be the most tired.
However, a raise is definitely in order. After all, if a plan can be completed ahead of schedule, it's a win-win situation.
"I understand! After all, Bronya has brought in quite a few partners this time, so she's bound to be busy."
"It's just a pity, I've practiced bass for so long..."
Although it's only been less than a week, she was originally planning to do something big and make a name for herself.
An Yu gently patted her head: "Don't be sad. When the preview is released, we... the Old Songs Band will definitely have a role."
"Hi!" Ling stood at attention and looked around.
"Is Miss Fairy like Kiana-senpai, arriving every day at noon?"
Waaah, I feel like I'm running out of things to say if we keep talking.
"It'll be soon. Knowing my older sister's personality, she definitely won't be late on the first day."
Just like the first day of school before, Alicia was always excited and looked forward to her new semester, even though she would soon be caught up in endless studying and tutoring.
However, instead of her older sister, An Yu was greeted by an unexpected tall and beautiful woman.
Mei hesitated for a moment: "Were you waiting for me?"
Oh~ she didn't expect her junior to be so sensible.
“No, that’s not it.” An Yu shook her head, her expression complicated. “Besides, Mei-senpai, when you say ‘relax,’ you don’t mean coming to Reson’s studio to do unpaid volunteer work, do you?”
