Primary school students of all worlds

After Kailin Lando finished speaking, beads of sweat oozed out of Li Xiaolang's palms. Although he had never met Nero before, he could already deeply feel the horror of the empress.

“But that’s land.”

Miyu hesitated and said, "There will always be people who are unwilling to exchange it."

"The land belongs to the state. If the king sells it, what can the people do?"

Kailin Landor said regretfully, "However, many wise kings recognized Nero's terrifying ambitions and attempted to enact laws to prevent this absurd trade from continuing. Nero made no comment or attempt to stop it. He simply sneered from his perch as these wise kings became tyrants in the eyes of the angry masses. These tyrants were then overthrown by his subjects, who yearned for heaven."

In the deathly silent room, Cailin Landor extended her hand to the elementary school students. "This chaos lasted for a full five hundred years. Throughout, Nero never attempted to steal anything. He simply sat elegantly at his desk, signing contracts one after another with the nine human kings who ruled the earth, the seven dwarf kings who ruled the mountains, the three elven kings who ruled the woodlands, and so on..."

This acquisition that lasted for five hundred years finally came to an end, and Nero successfully bought the entire world.

Elementary school students and final-term students: The duplication rate of the 277th article is as high as 95%.

Inside the cabin...

Listening to Karin Landau describing what happened in this world, Wang Quan just felt...wasn't it a bit too much to say that there were things 'also recorded in the homework books of fifth-grade elementary school students'?

"Then your Majesty."

Lihua looked at the Elf Queen in confusion: "Aren't you planning on going to heaven?"

Kailin Landau shook her head and said softly, "I know very well that there is no such thing as heaven. Not only me, but many others know that this so-called heaven is nothing more than a [perfect, super-illusion magic that can influence the minds of others on a large scale, lasts for an extremely long time, and has no end date]. For example, those succubi who kidnapped you."

"Succubus?"

"Yes."

Kailin Landau nodded and said, "The Succubus Queen Naama was a demon lord skilled at weaving dreams to deceive others. Therefore, she was the first king in the world to discover the true face of Heaven, and thus strictly forbade anyone from going there. However, even she could not escape the fate of being overthrown by her subordinates. She was forced to wander the world with a small number of succubi who were willing to follow her. It was not until seventy years ago that she came here, pinching her nose, and begged me to give her a place to sacrifice herself. Because Nero, who was assassinated ten times by Naama, would not allow her to set foot in my private territory again."

"And what about the children?"

Wang Quan thought of the elf girl and the minotaur boy who had taken them away from the succubus: "Why don't those children go to heaven? Is it because you don't allow it?"

Although Wang Quan's question was somewhat offensive, the Elf Queen did not blame him. She just sighed and said, "Those children once had happy families, like Eves who brought you here."

Wang Quan’s mind flashed with the image of the lively elf girl, who was even shorter than himself.

"She once had a strict but loving mother, and a gentle father who was willing to lie on the ground and let her ride like a horse."

Kailin Landau shook her head and said, "It was a warm family at first. The three of them kept the teachings of the Father of All Forests in mind and lived humbly in the forest. Eves grew up happily in that environment. But it was her mother who couldn't resist her curiosity and went to that paradise. Then her father followed. Although they were only there for a while, they realized it was not a good idea and quickly left. But how could someone who had seen the beauty of heaven accept a dull and unfree life again?"

Elijah, who already understood what was going to happen next, sighed, "Poor Eves. Why didn't she go to heaven with her parents?"

"Because she hates Heaven."

Kailin Lando said with pity, "When she was a little girl, she didn't know what happened. She only knew that after she returned from heaven, her strict mother began to stare blankly for long periods of time. Sometimes she even forgot to cook for her, and even when she did, she didn't pay any attention to the food. Her gentle father also began to stare blankly, and even argued with her mother about him taking too long to look after the children, which was unfair."

Wang Quan raised his eyebrows. This incident was also recorded when he was a baby.

"Eves utterly loathed the paradise that had destroyed her parents' love, and swore she would never enter it. Despite her parents' numerous attempts to persuade her, they couldn't change the little girl's aversion. So, one day, they left a note telling her to come find them when she figured things out, and then disappeared from her home. Because the treehouse where she had sacrificed herself had been sold to Nero, she was expelled from the house by Nero's magical machines. She resisted fiercely, but her attack power was so low that she couldn't even trigger the golem's self-defense counterattack."

Hearing this, Lihua felt a surge of sympathy in her heart.

The Elf Queen looked out the window and murmured, "Elves rarely experience negative emotions like hatred. Unlike humans, we have very long lifespans, so it's easy for hatred to fade over time. But Eves has hated the Machine Emperor for a hundred years, and she still can't let go. Even among the elves, her example is truly rare."

After a long pause, noticing the depressing atmosphere, Kailin Lando stood up and shook her head at the children, saying, "It looks like your memories have almost recovered. It's time to rest."

"I have one more question."

Wang Quan quickly stood up and asked, "This is the last piece of land in the world that has not been acquired by the Machine Emperor Nero, right? Is it safe here?"

"Of course it's safe."

Thinking the child was frightened, Kailin Landau gently comforted her, "With Nero's strength, if she wanted to do anything to us, nothing would be able to stop her. But the fact that we're still living safely here proves that she's still the same businessman who believes plundering and stealing are unrefined."

After saying that, the Elf Queen turned around, looked at the lantern grass that was gradually dimming due to the moonlight, and told the children to go to bed early. Then she turned and left the tree house, and her back disappeared from the sight of the elementary school students as the door closed.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Student Wang Quan..."

Lihua said weakly.

"I wasn't! I didn't! It wasn't me!"

Before Lihua could finish, Wang Quan said with absolute certainty, "Indeed, the process of Emperor Nero's conquest of the world and my plan were 95% identical. He even looked down on robbery and believed that it required no technical skills at all, which was exactly the same as mine! But this was definitely not me!"

"Where's the evidence?"

Li Syaoran scratched his head and said, "This is a different world of magic and swords, and it's completely different from the modern city we live in. But even with a different worldview, the duplication rate is still as high as 95%. It's really a bit unreasonable to ask us to believe that you, Wang Quan, have nothing to do with that mechanical emperor Nero."

"That's it!"

Meiyou nodded seriously and said to Wang Quan, "Why should we trust you, Wang Quan? Because you are upright? But there is not even a single word of integrity in you!"

Seeing Wang Quan taking out a ballpoint pen and writing the word "correct" on his body without saying a word, Illya wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"I had this 'idea' that someone had stolen my glorious life plan."

Wang Quan rubbed his temples and said.

"Although I've taken anti-theft measures on the glass cabinet containing my plans, I had no idea magical girls and cultivators existed when I created them. So, they can only protect against ordinary thieves. If it was an extraordinary thief, and he stole my plans, then—then—this 95% duplication rate can be explained."

Elementary School Students and the Final-Year-Olds: Life in Shelter No. 278

The next day...

Wang Quan and others, who had slept all night in the tree house wrapped in unknown soft straw, were awakened by the sound of knocking on the window. He looked to the side in confusion and saw the elf girl Eves waving at them vigorously outside the wooden window covered with a piece of paper.

Illya rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door, looking at Eves in confusion as she rode on the Minotaur's neck to reach the window.

"Queen Kailin has ordered."

Eves got off the Minotaur and patted her chest as she spoke to the elementary school students, "She asked me to take good care of you and help you integrate into this big family of the shelter. So—are you ready to get to work, newbies?"

"Working?"

Lihua looked at Eves blankly: "We are elementary school students."

"I understand! I completely understand your thoughts! Because I had the same thoughts as you at the beginning, but! This world is very dark, very dank, and very cruel! No naive thoughts can survive in this world! So even if I'm just a child over a hundred years old, I still have to work!"

Eves nodded seriously and said, "So you'd better die early so that you don't have to work. The washing utensils are all here. After washing, gather in the open space."

After saying that, the elf girl instructed the Minotaur to put down the toiletries for Wang Quan and others, then turned and left.

"..."

The four friends looked at Wang Quan in unison.

"What do you want to see me do?"

Wang Quan asked back in confusion.

"Because you, Wang Quan, are the only one among us who has the most work experience."

Illya said matter-of-factly, "So what should we do now?"

"After brushing your teeth and washing your face, follow them to work, and remember to drink more milk afterwards."

After saying that, Wang Quan distributed the toothpaste made from unknown plant essences, then blew a handful of water on his face. After all the sleepiness was driven away, he went down the tree house and prepared for work with the elf girl.

The so-called work that the girl mentioned was actually preparing breakfast. To do this, everyone needed to climb a very tall tree and pick fruits that looked a bit like mangoes from the tree. This sounded simple - but in fact, this tree had only one main trunk like a coconut tree, which tested the children's tree-climbing ability.

"What kind of test is that? Besides not being able to order the family combo, we can even give a high-dimensional witch a try!"

Li Xiaolang jumped up very easily, clamped the main pole with his feet, and easily fixed himself on the tree, which immediately won applause.

Wang Quan clapped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Remember to pick the fruits for me, Rika, Illya, and Miyu as well."

"no……"

Li Xiaolang looked at the four friends under the tree with a twitch in his mouth: "Aren't you going to work?"

"I can't climb trees."

Illya scratched her head and said, "You can't transform into a magical girl just to climb a tree, right?"

Miyu nodded in agreement. "There's nothing we can do about it. Blame the tree! It's grown so tall for no reason, deliberately trying to make things difficult for the ever-dictatorial Illya!"

"Don't think I don't know!"

Li Xiaolang rolled his eyes and said, "When you magical girls are about to be late, you always transform into magical girls to hurry up. Why are you still being so reserved now?"

"what!"

Wang Quan's eyes widened as he stared at Illya and Miyu in disbelief. "Illya's clothes are fine, but Miyu, you actually wore something so shameless as to rush to school?! How come I didn't see it on the front page of the news?"

"..."

Illya said to Li Xiaolang in a gloomy voice, "Now you understand why I didn't transform, right?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Li Xiaolang could only look at Lihua and Wang Quan. "What about you two? Especially you, Lihua! As a child who grew up in the countryside, there's no way you haven't climbed a tree before, right?"

"Hinamizawa is not another world. We don't have trees this tall and without branches there."

Lihua shook her head helplessly and said, "If it had more branches and twigs, I would definitely be able to climb up! So, no matter what, this is all the tree's fault! Why is it so tall? It's simply trying to make things difficult for a high-dimensional witch like me!"

Li Xiaolang looked at Wang Quan with a twitching mouth: "What about you?"

"Mana isn't for climbing trees."

Wang Quan said affirmatively.

"The Dark Magician Girl isn't for homework, isn't for carrying school bags, and definitely isn't for flying you to school when you're running late!"

While complaining about his friends, Li Xiaolang climbed up the tree and picked the fruits one by one. Wang Quan, who was standing under the tree, felt a little uncomfortable. Especially after seeing the children from the shelter around him struggling to climb the tree, and the four of them waiting for Li Xiaolang to work, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Is there nothing we can do?"

"..."

Lihua blinked and said, "How about cheering for Wang Xiaoming? That way we can at least contribute a little."

The friends nodded without objection, and shouted encouragement to Li Xiaolang who was working hard on the tree.

"Come on, classmate Wang Xiaoming!"

"Almost there! Come on!"

"We're just a little bit away from speeding up. Classmate Wang Xiaoming, didn't you eat?"

With the support of his friends, Li Xiaolang, who felt more tired than usual, returned to the tree carrying a bag of fruits.

"Well done!"

Eves, who had come over to check on the situation, exclaimed at the overflowing bag of fruit. "I didn't expect you guys would do such a great job at the most important task, foraging, right after arriving at the shelter! You five are simply the most outstanding newcomers I've ever met."

"It is okay."

Wang Quan said modestly: "We just did a small job."

"How could you say something so shameless as to even outrageously shamelessly compare it to Illya and Miyu's clothes?"

Li Xiaolang said awkwardly, "Are you worthy of the word righteousness on your body?!"

"Um...I do feel a little sorry."

Wang Quan nonchalantly wrote another correct character while asking Eves curiously, "What should we do next?"

"Have a meal."

Eves pointed at the fruit and said, "After you're full, let's go treasure hunting in the back mountains together."

"Treasure hunt?"

Following Eves's guidance, Wang Quan looked towards a small hill at the back of the woods. "Are there any treasures there?"

"Baby is everywhere."

Eves nodded affirmatively. "Those weeds might be useful as medicine. Those insects are high in protein. Those branches can be made into swords and slingshots. Furthermore, there's a legend circulating in the shelter that dates back to who knows when—that somewhere in the mountains, buried is a treasure that could kill the 'Machine Emperor Nero'!"

Elementary School Students and Final Producers: Chapter 279: Universal Wishing Machine

After finding an open space to share the fruit, it was time for free activities. More than a dozen children from various races in the tribe gathered together, then walked towards the nearby mountains in groups of three or four, talking and laughing.

For a child, climbing a mountain is undoubtedly a very tiring task. Not long after climbing, Lihua humbly begged Wang Quan to offer the precious space on his back so that the poor witch could have a rest.

"Okay everyone."
