NO. 541: Seeing an acquaintance on the field live, how rare!

It includes the term 'Saichang' (provided). The words 'on-site' and 'acquaintance' are not in the glossary.

NO. 541 Seeing an acquaintance on the field live, how rare!

Same.

Omniscience and omnipotence become the ultimate aspiration of people precisely because this world is always filled with many things beyond one's power.

Even if you wield the purest violence, you cannot solve every problem, for after all you cannot, like the laws of a children's world, reduce every issue to a concrete enemy and then achieve universal happiness by eliminating them.

Even in a children's world, there will be some profound, messed-up, unnecessary complexities; even if you have fought and won, you still find it hard to give an answer, hard to make everything satisfactory.

At that point, what you need most is not pure violence but a more abstracted power—a power that expresses itself in diverse ways, such as influence, rallying ability, deterrence, persuasion, and so on. Often, even if you possess pure violence, you must expend great thought and time to transform it, and it may still not truly meet the need to handle matters and people well.

Thus, the yearning for omnipotence began.

No.

Not only will you fall short, but you may even regret it on that endless road, begin to feel that your invested efforts are not worth it, and turn into individuals who fit the setting of a children's-story villain.

'Aomo' appears. The terms 'monster card' and 'children's work' are not in the glossary.

No.

His personal pursuit isn't that extreme or grand; rather, it's rather petty and homey.

From initially wanting to see more fresh things related to other worlds, to becoming a trainer, then having responsibilities after getting a girlfriend, to now being a public figure with nominal enterprises, and running around supporting the cooperative development of monster-related industries… upholding the conclusion that 'goals aren't conflicts, you can have it all, just take it slow,' he has always been down-to-earth and not indulging in overly distant futures.

He strives to maintain a consistently plant-like life rhythm.

But truly making him wait like a plant doesn't please him.

So, have you secured omnipotence?

No.

No.

After all, having seen so much actual data and related artistic works himself, he doesn't think he could become that 'special' person who achieves miracles, and he holds awe for the realm of omnipotence—for if everything were easily obtained and lacked challenge, that would also mean losing the sense of achievement tied to challenge.

At that point, either you live in a world where everything is utterly dull, and even seeking beauty and joy requires exhausting all prayers; or you become like a God with a full-blown paternal attitude, constantly pointing fingers at others' lives, society, civilization, wanting to reset if displeased—anyway, since your own life forms are keyboard commands, anything that gets in the way should just be loved to death.

Omnipotence as the ultimate pursuit may also be a kind of conclusion to life's meaning.

Of course, feelings without experience can only be called speculation; even the demon person cannot deny that perhaps there exists a completely new direction, but if we suppose stepping back ten thousand steps, such a huge change would inevitably bring earth-shattering changes to life.

After all, it's hard for people to be like certain protagonists in some Jidong light novels who, despite possessing great power, still act timidly and indecisively.

But he is still more satisfied than dissatisfied with his current life, so he hasn't prepared for it and naturally won't make it a goal.

However, he still has an unease stemming from his hobby of collecting cards and his experience with his foster father.

He does not pursue omnipotence, yet he constantly collects monster cards possessing powers that defy common sense; in fact, he has already stepped onto a shortcut leading to the path of omnipotence.

No.

'Lipiya' appears. 'Amethyst ore' is not in the glossary. 'Ultimate fighting instrument monster medal' is not. 'Fu Jingchu K' appears (provided). Also 'Sai Luo' appears. Also 'Jie De' appears. Also 'Chao Cang Lu' appears. Also 'Senlinbaoxue' appears. Also 'teammate' appears.

Coincidentally, on Chao Cang Lu, who is read as father-son with Belial but written as brothers, Aomo also saw the same bias. He had also once trained together with Sai Luo to truly make good use of his physique and abilities in combination.

'Jie De' (Jie De), 'Aomo' (Aomo), 'Sai Luo' (Sai Luo), 'Gechengwangpai' (Gechengwangpai). Also 'Lipiya'? Actually line 30 contains no Lipiya, but line 28 did.

People tend to develop dependence toward those who have helped them; in Aomo's view, these two's mentality is somewhat abnormal, but not to the point needing correction—far less deserving of attention than the current crisis hidden danger.

No.

'Lipiya' appears. 'Gechengwangpai' appears. 'Sai Luo' appears. 'Xiao Lu' refers to Chao Cang Lu. Also 'rice bath' is not in the glossary.

Each time he comes, he stays only a few days before rushing off to other districts, other planets, even other star systems—this feeling of being a cosmic drifter seems a bit out of step with the times.

"Those two are a bad example," Aomo replied with a dark face, "I didn't let them bring along a partner lacking combat power."

"Don't say that," Kai, his Ultra teammate, chimed in, "they still have more than enough to protect a little girl. Besides, little Lu can't go against Mi Yu, and Lipiya surely has her own plans, right?"

"Besides, it's not certain this time whether anything will happen; didn't you also say that Bi Ze's side is still normal? Maybe you're just overthinking."

"But saying such things is likely to cause problems."

Aomo turned his head and looked out, gazing at a sea of black heads—the direction of the racecourse entrance packed with people.

Today is the opening day of the Kikuka Sho.

Once again, a few horse girls pulled him along the dedicated passage, giving him a feeling of resignation that this might become a future routine.

Yet he didn't forget to stay in touch with the brothers he had asked for help.

After all, in the past few months he himself has no guarantee that something will definitely happen; the notice from the Three Goddesses is likewise no turning point, the Association's response is merely formulaic, and the racecourse operation itself only added a few stern words to security assignments. Although, over the past year, the security systems of the five major racecourses have undergone several upgrades amid various major incidents, reaching a point where they can normally cope with most serious cases, Aomo's eyes clearly demand higher standards.

Since the authorities can't enforce strictness, it's obvious that only civilian solutions can be considered.

Just as a precaution, he couldn't muster the vigor to go all out to the extent of shouting out to the coffee shop owner and staff he had previously met; thus, even though he had invited Yuta and Ah Peng to come over during the holiday——

——he merely gave them a single on-site ticket.

Come watch the Kikuka Sho! There are five acquaintances participating!

'Senlinbaoxue' appears. 'Suzi' appears. 'Chazuo' appears. Also 'Gulite group' is not in the glossary. 'Lost horse team' is not.

'Senlinbaoxue' appears again. 'Suzi' appears. 'Chazuo' appears.

By the way, the ones who get along best with Senlinbaoxue are Shima and Bora, already seen by everyone at the table as traitors—indeed, instead of picking one of Aomo's four subordinates to support, they ran off to support the fifth.

(Just in case you forget, these two up front)

Even the princess twisted Shima's face.

She is quite optimistic about Aizhi; although Bourbon and Chazuo are also well-behaved kids she likes, and Suzi can produce all kinds of amazing inventions, but Aizhi alone can remind her of Shima from a certain period.

However, Shima ran off to look at another child.

In short, although invited to play, the three rows of seats are also close to the E entrance.

And opposite the G entrance edge where the monster eugenics thinkers sit, it's clearly apparent even Yuta can notice, though no one complains.

"If something really happens, wouldn't you actually feel a bit more at ease? I heard from Sai Luo that your preparation plan this time is rather extravagant."

"For him, just having a plan sheet counts as extravagant."

"Also..." Kai, unable to refute this point, fell silent for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the surrounding audience with fairly free custom-made avatars.

I heard you also arranged people for the online viewing seats this time?

Tuohai Yamei, the online viewing seats would also have quite a few net detectives; for those who are capable of messing around with various official plugin features, the internet is more real than reality. Moreover, if the Seven Sins Gate really runs into trouble, they will also first act from the internet.

If it turns out like this, it would actually be quite troublesome if nothing happened, right?

No, look at all these arrangements—they're actually just a matter of a few words and a dozen or so tickets.

Those tickets are super expensive, huh. Kai still has some local common sense.

The point isn't here.

What is that?

The point is that everyone originally had an interest in coming to watch this match, and they're even more interested in cheering on acquaintances.
