Chapter 797: Siege of the New World! Stinky Tofu!

Like a revolving lantern, the distant past slowly replays in his Brain.

Looking back on his life, it seems he has never had anything as he wishes.

A bleak childhood, a neglected education, a career that achieved nothing.

Overall, it can be summed up completely with the word "failure".

He had thought that arriving in the new world would let him indulge recklessly.

The first half indeed went smoothly, letting him taste the sweetness and flavor of success.

But as the Golden Road opened, he felt himself becoming increasingly insignificant.

That sense of insignificance resurfaced.

At this moment, his grim visage couldn't help but reveal a self‑mocking tone.

Looking back, he saw that at the Spaceship's window there was a pair of eyes staring at him.

It was Su Yang!

One inside, one outside.

Like a siege of the new world, those outside want to get in, while those inside have no desire to leave.

This gaze across an unknown distance ended when one side suffocated to death.

Su Yang watched his mouth gaping for a big breath, lingered a moment, then turned and left.

"Fu Yuan is dead."

He said it.

His voice was soft, as if murmuring to himself.

It also seemed like he was speaking to Lu Zhiwei beside him.

"Isn't this good news?" Lu Zhiwei, noticing Su Yang's condition wasn't right, asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Being sentimental doesn't fit your style, and after Fu Yuan treated you like that not long ago, you still felt sympathy?"

"It's not sympathy," Su Yang shook his head and sat beside her.

According to the rules, today's food was distributed.

This time Su Yang didn't choose bread first; instead he tore open a cooked meat package and bit into some meat.

It was without juice, the meat was very tough.

It tasted like chewing wax.

Having grown used to Lin Yang's fine bran, trying this felt like eating excrement.

Yet he had to eat it.

These foods seemed simple, yet they contained a great amount of energy.

Enough to replenish a whole day's consumption.

After chewing a couple of bites, he suddenly felt it was a bit dry, so Su Yang drank some water to smooth it.

Lu Zhiwei blinked, waiting silently for the next words.

Su Yang laboriously swallowed the chewed meat, exhaling long, "I watched him being slowly suffocated to death, and suddenly felt an impulse."

"What?"

"I want to go beyond the universe and see, to experience what that feeling truly is."

"Are you feverish again?"

"Hehe, it's absurd, right?"

"Nonsense, why run off to the universe for no reason?"

"You say, since it's a Parallel Universe, is the universe we are now in the same place as the original universe?"

"?"

Lu Zhiwei was startled.

The angle of this question...

Is indeed rather odd.

She truly hadn't thought about this aspect before.

After all, she can't even eat a proper meal now.

How could she have leisure to care about the universe's matters?

"Probably," Lu Zhiwei guessed.

"Then if it's the same universe, it proves that each Death Game we undergo leads to a different Shengming Xingqiu," Su Yang said.

"What's the problem?"

"The problem is huge: within the same Shengming Xingqiu, the lifeforms actually look exactly like us."

"Um..."

Lu Zhiwei didn't quite understand Su Yang's line of thought.

Is this some terribly bad thing?

"If it's the same universe, it proves that the Divine are kidnapping one similar planet after another."

"Then where is the world we are currently in...?"

"Where do those Divine live?" Su Yang asked consecutively.

"How would I know?" Lu Zhiwei retorted.

Do the answers to these questions affect her chewing bread?

Su Yang gazed at the boundless universe and slowly said, "If it's a Parallel Universe, the world we are in is more like a composite."

"Gathering players from countless universes to vie for the Golden Throne that is born only once in many years."

In fact, Su Yang still has another question he wants to investigate clearly—

After Becoming a God, what should one do?

It means being able to transcend all beings and all order, and spend the whole day leisurely.

Or become a Regulator.

Overlooking the countless beings struggling bitterly in the Death Game?

If it's the former, then naturally it's the best outcome.

But if it's the latter…

Then what's the difference from being imprisoned?

Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help rubbing the corners of his brow.

"Let's not talk about that. Tell me about yourself—when a well‑meaning act is seen as meddling, how do you feel?"

The moment Lu Zhiwei heard that, she got angry.

"Hmph, it infuriates me!"

"Qi Jie is like that, but I didn't expect her to be so indifferent," Su Yang said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Qi Jie, Qi Jie~ such an intimate way of calling her, her motives aren't pure," Lu Zhiwei said, her mouth upturned, with a look of disdain.

"I'm completely at a loss now," Su Yang sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Her kindness doesn't seem feigned; even the earlier admonition I could feel genuine sincerity, but still…"

"Is it that you think she's being too good to you?"

"A bit."

"There's no such thing as gratuitous kindness in this world; behind all this must be an unknown conspiracy!!"

Su Yang turned his head, looking at her with a tooth‑itching resentful expression, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I'm serious!" Lu Zhiwei's cheek puffed up, looking just like an angry pufferfish.

"I know." Su Yang couldn't help laughing as he patted her head.

"Don't touch, you're sweating so much, haven't showered in two days, filthy and oily," Lu Zhiwei hurriedly swatted Su Yang's hand away.

Seeing Su Yang fall silent suddenly.

Lu Zhiwei's eyes rolled round, smiling brightly, "The person who let you fart has left; are you feeling proud?"

"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you spouting?" Su Yang was both crying and laughing, at a loss.

"Tsk, I even took a whiff yesterday, almost died from the stench!"

Su Yang was mortified; could she really bring this up at such a peaceful moment?

"Hey, do you still remember the vendor who sold stinky tofu across from the high school back then?" Lu Zhiwei suddenly asked.

"Of course I remember. The first time I passed by, I thought a sewer had burst somewhere; that guy was stinky," Su Yang said.

"It wasn't smelly at all, okay? It tasted delicious!" Lu Zhiwei, dissatisfied, slapped him.

"If I recall correctly, the first serving of stinky tofu you ate was the one I bought, right?" Su Yang asked.

"Hmph, you're just trying to prank me." Lu Zhiwei said with a sneer, but her eyes flashed with a glimmer.

That was the best stinky tofu she had ever eaten, without equal!

"Unfortunately that old man seemed to have fallen ill, and never set up a stall again," Su Yang felt a pang of regret.

Lu Zhiwei rested both hands on her chin and said, "No, the old man later recovered and came back."

"Is that so? How did I not notice?" Su Yang was startled.

"It's because you're constantly obsessed with women, so you can't notice the beautiful scenery around you," Lu Zhiwei gave him a glance.

"Fart, I didn't!" Su Yang shouted in protest.

Lu Zhiwei gave a sideways glance and clicked her tongue.

She then, with regret in her eyes, said, "After graduation I bought a portion, but it wasn't the same flavor as the first time."

"I never ate it again after that~"
