Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

The iceberg of genius was only partially revealed, and I felt completely shrouded in its shadow.

It's unwinnable, impossible to win...

My mind was filled with such timid thoughts.

Brother, I'm so tired.

I don't want to be a liar anymore.

I want someone to comfort me, I want someone to hug me, I want someone to tell me firmly—

You've done enough, so it's okay to take a break, you don't have to push yourself so hard, and you can be yourself sometimes..."

However, Su Shi knew that the only brother who would say these words to her was no longer there.

Thinking of this, the girl cried even harder, gasping for breath.

It wasn't until it gradually got dark that she recovered.

She picked up the fox mask and threw it forcefully into the air.

"Brother, tell me, what should I do..."

If the mask falls down to reveal the front, then she will push herself one more time.

If it's the back, then she might as well just give up.

The mask rose into the air, fell, hit the ground, and bounced up again.

That result was beyond doubt—

Sure enough, it's the back side again.

Su Shi picked up the mask with both hands, held it in front of her, and felt complicated emotions.

Brother, in this family, you're probably the only one who would advise me to give up.

However, I've decided to give it another shot!

Just like that bastard who beat me said, even if I fail, I want to fail again!

But, brother, really, really, really...

This is the last time.

Although, she told herself this every time she wanted to give up.

This is said to be the last time.

however--

She tossed the mask up countless times, revealing its back side countless times, only to have it flipped right side out countless times.

Between the dress and the mask, she once again chose to become a witness to the world.

Chapter 80 Become my brother, not someone else's brother

[Su Shi]

Su Shi returned home.

It's getting late.

Her parents looked at her coldly, without asking where she had gone or showing any concern for whether she was hurt.

They simply questioned her, in a matter-of-fact tone:

"How could you lose? You are the one who sued the world!"

"Shut up! I'll win!"

Having no appetite for dinner, Su Shi went straight back to her room and locked herself inside.

She lay in bed, overwhelmed by exhaustion.

Forcibly activating the armor depleted his mental energy, completely overdrawn his physical body, and pushed his spirit to its limit.

Let's talk about today's training after I wake up.

As she thought this, she closed her eyes tightly.

However, just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a loud knock on the door.

The butler's urging voice followed immediately:

"Young Master, it's time to cultivate. The Master sent me to remind you."

"I understand. I'm very tired right now. Let me rest for a while... an hour, no, half an hour will do."

"Young Master, the two teachers that Master hired for you have been waiting for you for a long time. Tonight they will teach you how to cultivate in the Sea of ​​Consciousness."

Su Shi was stunned when he heard this.

Then, my groggy head suddenly snapped back to reality, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.

"Sea of ​​Consciousness? But I'm only at the second level..."

Although the Sea of ​​Consciousness is the best training ground for Echoers, every high-level Echoer will explore the Sea of ​​Consciousness to enhance their strength.

But the prerequisite is that the user is a high-level echoer...

Echoers who have not reached the third tier have insufficient spiritual strength and are unable to repair themselves.

Once the spirit perishes in the sea of ​​consciousness, that is the end of death!

If we were to use a game analogy, it would be that players below level three only have one life.

Players at level three and above, given enough time to recover their spirit bodies, are essentially blessed with countless resurrection coins!

So why let her delve into the sea of ​​consciousness when she's only at the second level?

"Young Master, are you alright? Please come out quickly, the Master said..."

The butler outside the door was interrupted halfway through his sentence by another irritated voice.

"Never mind, I'll talk to him!"

Qianmian Zhengxing waved the butler away, then kicked the door open and dragged the aching Su Shi off the bed.

"How long are you going to rest? You've already failed, and you still don't know how to try! Do you want to disappoint us again?"

"But... entering the sea of ​​consciousness or something..."

"Are you saying you can't do it? If it were a petition to the world, you certainly could!"

Su Shi remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"I see."

〖Qaki〗

Saki returned home.

He tore open the ice cream packaging and handed it to his sister.

Xiwang took it and tried to break the stick in half with his little hands, wanting to split it in two so that he and his brother could each have half.

Saki saw this, reached out, picked up the stick, and fed the ice cream to his younger sister.

"I already ate at school."

"Brother, it's delicious, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ji casually rummaged through the packaging bags that he had just thrown into the trash can.

Since his sister said it was delicious, he should bring more of this flavor home next time.

Seeing Qi Ji's subconscious action, Xi Wang felt a warmth in her heart, and then softly repeated it again:

"Thank you, brother."

"We're like siblings, there's nothing to thank me for."

"It is precisely because we are siblings that I am even more grateful to my brother!"

Thank you, brother, for being my brother!

Thank you, brother, for choosing to be my brother, and not someone else's brother.

"Then, me too. I also want to thank Xiaoxi. It's so great to be Xiaoxi's brother."

"I like my older brother the most."

"I like Xiao Xi the most."

"My brother is my only brother."

"Xiao Xi is my only sister."

"I love my brother more than anyone else."

"I like Xiaoxi more than I like anyone else."

The two of them were like children competing with each other, saying increasingly childish things.

Then, at a certain moment, their eyes met, and they both laughed.

Laughter echoed from time to time in this small home.

It is the ordinary yet happy daily life between the siblings, which has remained unchanged for years.

Moon Viewing

Tsukimi returned home.

He went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things for his vacation, humming a little tune.

I took a bath, poured myself a glass of red wine, and sat down on the sofa. The timing was perfect—9:30.

The romantic comedy starring Dorothy will air its finale tonight.

Tsukimi sat intently in front of the television.

He, who is usually lazy, rarely shows a serious side.

It gives people the feeling that even if the world were to end, it wouldn't distract him.

However, the next moment.

Sensing something, Tsukimi suddenly raised her hand and turned off the TV.

"...Senior brother."

He turned to look at the balcony and spoke softly.

A figure wearing a mask of the Ace of Diamonds slowly appeared.

"Excuse me, did I disturb you?"

The masked man's voice sounded somewhat weak.

Tsukimi shook her head.

"That's good."

As the masked man spoke, he then removed the mask from his face.

A face covered in wanted posters in the City of Fire was revealed—

The one who steals fire is Yan Yi.

Yuejian glanced at the mask on Yan Yi's hand and already guessed what the latter was doing.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke:

"Senior brother, have you really thought this through? You'll regret it..."

Upon hearing this, Yan did not answer but instead asked a question:
