Chapter 877: Game Over

…

The two of them tapped the goods they had brought back and made a rough estimate.

They found that, combined with the previous harvest earnings, it was just a little over ten thousand.

That meant they had completed the target ahead of schedule.

They only needed to return to the Company once to offload the goods and achieve Clearance.

"Control Console, can you handle it?" Su Yang asked.

"I've seen Ji Huai tinker with this thing a few times before; it's basically like operating a computer, not difficult at all," Lu Zhiwei said.

"Alright, you take it then." Su Yang walked to the side and lifted the half‑unfinished bowl of noodles in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhiwei stared, dumbfounded.

"Just eating noodles," Su Yang slurped, noticing the noodles were not only cold but also clumped together.

The texture was really poor.

It was downright inedible.

Lu Zhiwei genuinely couldn't fathom Su Yang's thought process and said, "After Clearance we can feast on big fish and meat; why cling to this bowl that's mortally unpalatable?"

Su Yang waved his hand, "Waste is shameful; besides I'm hungry, so if I don't eat it, it's just wasted."

"Fine then~" Lu Zhiwei gave in, walked up to the Control Console and began operating it.

The buttons above were all symbols.

By the direction the arrows pointed, one could roughly discern the corresponding commands.

Just as she was fiddling, Su Yang had already finished the noodles.

He didn't let the scant remaining broth go to waste, gulping it all down in one go.

"Burp~"

He patted his distended belly, looked at Lu Zhiwei and said, "How's it? All set?"

"Almost there." Lu Zhiwei pressed a key, and the Spaceship immediately emitted a humming sound.

In the next instant, the Spaceship sped off in a direction.

After waiting, Lu Zhiwei came to Su Yang's side, leaning against the wall, "You still haven't told me how Ji Huai and Su Qi died."

In response, Su Yang explained, "Actually I didn't do much; they both wanted to kill me, so it was a dog‑bit‑dog situation."

"Nothing else?" Lu Zhiwei asked, eyes full of suspicion.

"There are too many details; in the end it just left me with a huge loss," Su Yang smiled faintly.

Lu Zhiwei still didn't believe him.

Ji Huai himself was a ruthless figure; his deep scheming wouldn't easily put him in a passive position.

Moreover, would he not understand the simple principle that in a clam‑and‑sandpiper clash, the fisherman profits?

Su Qi needed no further explanation.

That old woman hailed from an even older era and originally belonged to a great power.

"Mind Reading" in hand, she could clearly perceive anyone's Evil Thought.

That meant...

Before Ji Huai could act, Su Qi already knew what he intended to do.

Could she let Su Yang's wish come true so easily?

Seeing Lu Zhiwei's incredulous face, Su Yang set the bowl aside, "Actually a lot happened while you were sleeping—like the music box going berserk, a little girl appearing, and so on."

"It even included the Hundred Ghost Night Parade; its dangers I can't describe in words."

"All you need to know is that both of them were no good, and I took care of them."

"As for you and me... we are the biggest winners."

That's the logic, but Lu Zhiwei still felt something was unsteady.

It's like climbing a mountain.

When climbing, after exhausting countless hardships, you reach the mid‑slope, and looking up you can only see the outline of the summit.

Just as she rested a moment, intending to continue, she suddenly spotted a cable car at the mid‑slope.

She sat inside, did nothing, and easily reached the summit.

It left her with a guilty feeling of unearned gain.

Moreover, there was a Replica of Su Yang inside, and how it was dealt with wasn't mentioned.

All these doubts lingered, making Lu Zhiwei feel that now was the real dream.

"Don't overthink it; surviving is already a great fortune," Su Yang said.

"You must be hiding something from me!" Lu Zhiwei said.

"You saved me once, and your Replica saved me once; just on that basis, I have no reason not to bring you through Clearance," Su Yang said slowly.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Clearly I retrieved the goods; it was I who led you to Clearance," Lu Zhiwei let out a light snort, arms crossed.

"Alright, alright, you get the biggest credit," Su Yang said with a helpless smile.

"That's how it always is~"

An hour later the Spaceship landed.

The familiar Weightlessness arrived; Su Yang, clutching the cargo, stood motionless before the airlock.

"Sss—"

Putting on his helmet and exiting the Spaceship, Su Yang went to the sales area and dumped the goods all at once.

Then he pressed the Service Bell.

"Ding—"

Having completed all this, he Retreats more than ten meters.

Soon, a thick tentacle suddenly snatched all the cargo away.

When calm returned, Lu Zhiwei placed the remaining cargo back up.

But this time she didn't immediately press the bell; instead she turned to look at Su Yang.

"Which island are you on?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

"Xiaodao No. 324," Su Yang replied without hesitation.

"It seems a bit far from me; I'm at No. 1289," Lu Zhiwei said loudly.

"It is indeed far; a conventional ship would take several months to reach," Su Yang said calmly.

"When I have time, I'll come find you to play," Lu Zhiwei's face showed a charming Laugh.

She remains as purely innocent as ever.

She still looks the way she always did in memory.

Not a bit has changed.

"Alright, when I have time I'll also come find you," Su Yang Laughs while nodding.

The two stare at each other, the sound of waves reaching their ears.

They add a bit of clamor for the cold, icy Company.

"I hate people making polite talk; you shouldn't Lie me, right?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

"I have never spoken empty words; I keep my word," Su Yang said seriously.

"But you are a big liar, a repeat offender!" Lu Zhiwei accused dissatisfiedly.

"I am already trying my best to be an honest person; please give me some time," Su Yang said.

"May I understand that you just Lie?"

"At least since stepping onto the Company until now, I haven't Lie."

"I knew you Lie me!"

Lu Zhiwei raised a small fist, trying hard to make a ferocious face.

But at the moment the two canine Teeth showed, Su Yang's expression was a happy Laugh.

"Laugh Laugh Laugh, just know how to Laugh," Lu Zhiwei hummed lightly, pressing the bell.

"Ding~"

She Retreats to Su Yang's side, quietly waiting for a tentacle to appear.

While waiting, she suddenly felt a bit wistful, "Vision Perception you makes me recall the stinky tofu at the school gate."

"How I wish to taste that unique flavor again."

"Unfortunately, it can never be tasted again."

Su Yang turned his head to look at her profile, whispering, "There will be a chance."

"What did you say?" Lu Zhiwei didn't hear clearly.

At that moment, a tentacle suddenly appeared, taking all the cargo away.

The next moment, the broadcast voice rang out.

【Game Over, Portal will open in Ten Minutes】

During these Ten Minutes, neither of them spoke.

They just enjoyed the final silence.

"It seems... it's over," Lu Zhiwei said, her voice tinged with faint loss.

"Yeah, we should go back," Su Yang let out a long sigh.

The next moment, the Portal appeared.

Lu Zhiwei turned her head, a slightly stiff Laugh on her face, "Mountains and waters meet again, looking forward to seeing you next time."

Su Yang said nothing, watching her jog all the way to the Portal.

Just as she was about to step in, Lu Zhiwei paused, turned and waved, "You must come find me to play!"

After speaking, she gritted her teeth, resolved, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and she charged headfirst into the Portal.

Su Yang stared at the spot where she had been standing, murmuring to himself,

"The days ahead are all promising..."

"We'll meet again..."

"It will definitely happen!"
