The only thing preventing confirmation was not being able to see the face beneath the mask - anything unexpected was possible at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, Lu Ce couldn't be simple. What happened back then probably had nothing to do with \"outwitting each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely it was just a story of a high-level player instantly crushing a low-level one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Jiacheng on stage talking about \"learning from Lu Ce\" almost made her laugh out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was barely holding it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiacheng surveyed the crowd below, a glint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes as he finally managed to rouse people's emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, while everyone should act within their means, we should still strive toward positive aspirations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe if Lu Ce were to become a player now, he would make the same choice as before, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop talking bro, this is seriously awkward. I can barely take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation is way more hellish than any game, and I can't even let loose properly since I'm not wearing my mask right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was twitch his expression in exasperation, staring at the people opposite him and hoping this would end quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that's about all for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiacheng looked around. As the person responsible for this entire school's ideological education, he knew there wouldn't be any immediate dramatic effects - this was just laying groundwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for youths just entering adulthood, this sort of thing might still be somewhat useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he needed to say something actually meaningful for the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, we've lived in peaceful times for too long - our understanding of violence has become somewhat blurred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those of you with family members in government positions or high-interaction commercial industries might have noticed how clearly various factions are consolidating and converging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He touched on the topic lightly but didn't elaborate further, sensing not everyone would understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any case, even as ordinary people... everyone should protect themselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, if any of you have been selected or are already players currently feeling lost, you're welcome to come find me privately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, he gave Lu Ce one last meaningful glance of encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Xie Antong felt her hairs stand on end.
