"Make your choice."
...
...
Once again, it was ti for the ever-popular choice selection segnt. Yang Qizhou instantly perked up.
In his eyes, options weren’t just branching points in the narrative but pivotal junctions for restarting the destiny line, signposts for raiding the free shop, and the lifeline for making bold moves in front of the Pillar Level gods.
"’Lamp Holder’ your honor, my system prompt says that your ga character is facing a crossroads of fate. The ga cannot proceed unless you make a choice." The Secret Cultivator’s voice carried a mix of surprise and complexity.
She had tead up with other players before. Facing narrative choices wasn’t entirely new to her, but this ti was different. Back then, both players had choice boxes and could control their own ga characters’ fates. Now, it was entirely his ga character controlling her ga character’s fate. The direction of future events hinged solely on his decision.
Was it because the ’Lamp Holder’ was too strong?
So strong that her ga character’s destiny had to be tied to his.
"Hmm, yes, the options have appeared. Wait a mont..." Since this wasn’t anything hidden, Yang Qizhou didn’t bother to conceal it.
The Secret Cultivator quickly ca to terms with it and adjusted her mindset. She happened to glance at the Lamp Holder standing up and instinctively asked, "Where are you going?"
Yang Qizhou casually replied, "Getting a Coke."
"Thirsty?"
The Secret Cultivator pointed toward the kitchen, "There’s water in the fridge; go grab so."
Coke was already Yang Qizhou’s favorite drink. At minimum, he drank three liters a day. Adding so duck-based snacks to the mix made it even better. Ever since moving to Sky Mountain Garden, he hadn’t had any Coke, and he’d been craving it for a while. Conveniently, with the ga text showing a choice, he thought it was the perfect chance to satisfy his cravings.
He had to admit, the Secret Cultivator’s house was impressively large. Just walking from the living room to the kitchen was at least 50 ters.
Heading into the kitchen, he opened the fridge and was just about to reach out when he suddenly froze.
There was no Coke.
Yang Qizhou sulked back to the sofa. "Didn’t you say the Coke was in the kitchen? There’s none."
"You’re not just thirsty? You an Coke?"
The Secret Cultivator finally realized she had misunderstood. Scratching the back of her head, she gestured toward a long corridor to the side. "Go down that way. It leads to the staff quarters. The fridge there has plenty. Lin Xiyu loves those overly sugary, completely non-nutritious carbonated drinks. She’s the one who bought them."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qizhou headed toward the staff quarters. After taking a couple of steps, he turned back and asked, "You don’t like Coke?"
The Secret Cultivator shook her head. "Not really."
"No childhood..."
Yang Qizhou comnted dryly and continued his ’quest’ for his ’Happy Gar Juice.’
Before long, he returned carrying two or three bottles, all ice-cold, with frost still on them. He unscrewed one, took a few gulps, and said, "Fantastic. A life without Coke is truly dull."
"Lamp Holder your honor, can we continue now?" The Secret Cultivator’s face was expressionless, though her deanor was subtly off compared to earlier. Maybe that "no childhood" remark had gotten to her.
Placing the Coke on the coffee table, Yang Qizhou plopped down beside her again. "No worries. I’ve already made up my mind..."
Even if he chose wrong, he could just restart.
This thought surfaced briefly in Yang Qizhou’s mind but remained unspoken.
Yang Qizhou quickly shifted his focus back to the ga screen. Looking at the two choices, he fell into deep thought.
If it were any other player, they’d undoubtedly choose "Option Two," aiding the holy beings of the Extre East Land. Not only would this allow passage across the River of Two Judgnts, but it would also earn favor with the God of Justice, laying the groundwork for finding the House of Truth later. Of course, the downsides were equally obvious. Joining the God of Justice’s faction ant facing off directly against the Six Great Evil Gods of the Land of Prayer Light—a perilous endeavor. But compared to "Option One," this was clearly the better narrative path.
Yet for him, it was different. The Dark Crow of Profane Fortune had the ability to restart the destiny line, retaining the rewards from previous runs while making a new choice.
Yang Qizhou had a premonition that in the Land of Prayer Light, the Six Great Evil Gods were unavoidable. So why not take this opportunity to infiltrate the Evil Army and uncover their true identities?
With this thought, Yang Qizhou didn’t hesitate.
"Option Two."
On the Secret Cultivator’s side, when she saw the refreshed text, she imdiately understood that the Lamp Holder had made his decision. But the subsequent narrative developnt left her feeling a bit puzzled.
The ga character intended to infiltrate the Evil Army?
This was clearly one of the worst possible choices. What exactly was the Lamp Holder thinking?
However, considering the Lamp Holder’s overwhelming strength, the Secret Cultivator, though full of doubts, ultimately decided to keep them to herself...
The ga continued.
...
...
"Compared to infiltrating the Evil Army to find a way across the River of Two Judgnts, aiding the inhabitants of the Extre East Land against the invading dark forces and thereby earning the God of Justice’s favor is undoubtedly the better decision."
"But compared to that, you’re more curious about the reasons why the Six Great Evil Gods of the Land of Prayer Light harbor animosity toward the God of Justice. With the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune as your advantage, you want to use this opportunity to uncover the truth."
"You explained your plan to the Secret Cultivator."
"Unsurprisingly, your suggestion was t with subtle yet strong opposition. The Forbidden Legacy is located within the House of Truth, and the guidance of the God of Justice is required to pinpoint its exact location. Under such circumstances, she absolutely didn’t want to offend this divine being."
