Chapter 13: You Make the Decisions Since You've Got a Big Chest~
update icon Updated at 2023/7/20 12:10:12

"Dawn has arrived..."

Li Wei stretched lazily as he got up. After all, he was playing the second round with a strategy guide, and this time the progress was much faster than the first time.

Li Wei still remembered clearly that the first time he played through this script, he failed for a whole week before finally figuring out the safe route for the jailbreak.

But it was thanks to that experience that he was able to progress through the story so quickly this time.

So what he needed to do next was to avoid the empire's pursuit while helping Luo Zhen gather clues... and expose the truth behind it all.

Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say it was an exposure, because there was no way the higher-ups in the empire would claim to have been completely unaware of framing Luo Zhen.

This action was more like using evidence to force them to make a choice.

Would they choose to protect Gerald, who held a high position and had power but actually couldn't handle that important project, or Luo Zhen, a young person with real talent?

As for the jailbreak itself, it could be big or small.

It was like a guy who once committed a crime and used a forged document to trick a group of people into accompanying him on a sea trip. He accidentally discovered a new continent, establishing a colony larger than his homeland, and plundering a large amount of gold, silver, and slaves from the colony.

When he returned to his country, that guy became an instant national hero. As for his previous crimes and forging the document... he was punished with three cups of wine. Case closed!

It has been proven that in the face of absolute interests, moral standards have always been very flexible. And the project that Luo Zhen was responsible for would bring unimaginable benefits to the empire.

As someone who came later, Li Wei clearly understood the significance of it all. After all, the project was called "Fusion Magic Furnace"!

Moreover, this matter might have caused some trouble, but then came the Great Cataclysm, and Luo Zhen received the inheritance of the hero, becoming the destined savior.

At this point, even if the higher-ups in the empire were clueless, they could only hold their noses and pretend that the past never happened, because in the face of The Disater, all living beings are equal except for the hero who can turn the tide.

As long as their brains were still functioning, they understood that in such a situation, they couldn't afford to offend anyone, especially not the hero, otherwise... people would really die!

This is probably what they call "when the time comes, heaven and earth will unite". It's as if there is an invisible force that helps Luo Zhen reach that position.

Of course, all of this was hundreds of years ago. After returning to reality, Li Wei quickly switched back to his original identity.

Although it took some time to adapt at first, when Li Wei finished his first playthrough, he was lost in memories of the first heroine for a long time, unable to extricate himself.

But now he was a seasoned player, so it was easy for him to adjust his mindset.

"Well, now the thing in front of me... is the final exam..."

Of course, Li Wei remembered clearly that the most important thing he had to face in reality was the imminent final exam.

Just now, he experienced the exciting jailbreak at night, and soon he would face the major crisis of saving the world from destruction. But when he woke up, the problem became the final exam.

The stark contrast made him chuckle.

"Good morning~"

In a familiar place, a familiar figure, that girl with pink hair and a big chest, Li Wei's childhood friend, was waiting for him on the road as if it were a matter of course.

"How are you doing?" Clair turned around Li Wei and looked at his face with a playful smile. "Do you have confidence for today's exam?"

"Well, I'm just barely scraping by. As long as I can pass the minimum requirement, I'm confident about that!" Li Wei clenched his fist with one hand and added conviction to his words. However, Clair burst into laughter.

"That confidence is so cheap, but hey, it's still cool~"

"What's your definition of cool anyway? It's so unpredictable." Li Wei pointed at his chin, pretending to ponder for two seconds, then answered with a radiant smile, "The standard is probably that anything done by Li Wei is cool~"

"... That's completely subjective and doesn't make any sense, just pure personal bias, isn't it?"Li Wei was instantly shocked, but Clair responded as if it were only natural.

"Aesthetics is inherently filled with personal biases, right? So, if there's a problem, it's definitely not my problem, but rather the problem of other people in this world with different aesthetics and taste!"

Clair proudly proclaimed this almost radical logic, but how should I put it...

... looking at the waves of the young girl's chest, all Li Wei wanted to say was... I raise three hands in agreement with your views!

Your large chest gives you the final say!

The two of them walked playfully towards the direction of the school building, and along the way, many people cast envious glances at them.

Of course, they were not envious of the strong connection between the two, but simply envious of their optimistic attitude during final exams.

Whether they "perform well in all subjects" or "perform poorly in all subjects," it is still much more relaxed in terms of mindset compared to those students who are filled with anxiety and have no idea whether they will do well or not.

"Good morning..."

In the instant they entered the classroom, that top student Vera happened to arrive at the classroom door as well. She greeted the two indifferently and entered the classroom by herself.

It seemed that after a night of calm thinking, she might have felt that her behavior yesterday was a bit impolite. However, she still clearly disliked Li Wei, the second-generation heir who came to seek fame and fortune.

Although her tone was not as confrontational as yesterday, it was still very cold, and there was no sign that she wanted to get along well with the two.

"Oh well~ whatever."

Clair, on the other hand, was accepting and stuck her tongue out and made a face at Vera's receding figure before pulling Li Wei into the classroom.

"Now then..."

Seeing all the students seated, the middle-aged female teacher in glasses who seemed like she had facial paralysis and rarely smiled picked up a stack of examination papers from her desk.

"Now, let's begin the morning written exam..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the examination papers in her hand scattered with a rustling sound, fluttering in the air like electric sparks, and landed steadily in front of each student, filling every corner of the classroom.

After handing out the papers, she coughed to signal the start of the exam...

Naturally, Li Wei also picked up his pen and patiently began to answer the questions.

The history of the heroes is the history of human civilization, the history of this world...

Because of this, there were numerous questions related to the five heroes in the exam, from the first generation hero, the "Unbelievable Girl" Alice, to the fifth generation hero, the "Sword Saint" Osterna...

Their major life events became widely known and were scattered as test points in countless exam papers. Reading these questions, fragments from the "game" would begin to emerge in Li Wei's mind.

Honestly, this feeling was quite strange...

For example, the question in front of him...

... the second-generation hero, "White Instrument" Emilie, originally a nameless artificial person created by a certain cult, a man-made weapon.

(Haha, I actually gave her that name, but cough, in the game... In reality, it seems that Emilie herself gave herself that name...)

It was this subtle mix of reality and game that made Li Wei feel very fresh.

The current problem was asking for the name of the cult that created the "White Instrument."

Li Wei picked up his pen and wrote down the name without hesitation...

... The Dark Truth Society.
