Chapter 799: Chapter 444 The Nonexistent Future_2 Chapter 799: Chapter 444 The Nonexistent Future_2 Xien Waidao furrowed his brow in deep thought for a long ti before nudging Liuzi beside him and whispered, “You’re better at sweet-talking, you start.”
“What do you take for?” Liuzi said discontentedly.
“…Stepfather!”
Upon hearing Xien Waidao’s sincere and heartfelt “Stepfather”, Liuzi’s heart softened.
Even the strongest straight male couldn’t withstand such mountainous fatherly love.
“Enough, when it cos to my child’s matters, it’s still up to to take action.”
After pondering for a mont, Liuzi spoke to the clueless Mukuai 1234 and the Goddess of Art, “The problem Xien Waidao and I have discovered is the sa: so things that we want, we simply can’t get.”
Seeing that the two still looked perplexed, Liuzi directly addressed the person who was not researching how to make coffee but staring at the chessboard, “Zhiyi, can you get us a computer, please?”
Zhiyi Heavenly Lord raised his head, looked at Liuzi in front of him, and smiled with satisfaction.
Then, he handed over his computer and continued to observe the chessboard.
Seeing Zhiyi’s subtle gestures, Xien Waidao voiced his doubts, “Strange, why do I feel like the boss looks at you in a weird way?”
“Not at all, he’s a very kind person,” Liuzi said, confused, “We hit it off right away, had a great chat, and I also co to sit here when I’m free. The boss is a good guy, he can play chess, make coffee, and the charges aren’t high. I really like it here.”
“Hmm… Forget it, let’s look at the ga,” Xien Waidao said.
Although playing on a computer inside a ga felt a bit odd, Fang Cheng Studio’s gas were always known for their Black Tech, so everybody had seen a lot, and naturally, it wasn’t weird anymore.
Having logged into the ga adeptly, Xien Waidao said to Mukuai 1234, “Refresh the ga, keep refreshing, and stop when you get to the question ‘What do you want the most?’.”
“Why this question?”
“Other similar questions will do too, but this one is the most straightforward. Alright, start refreshing.”
Mukuai 1234 didn’t understand why Xien Waidao was so interested in this, but she started refreshing nonetheless.
The frequency of this question was not low, and after a few tries, she got to the initial question.
According to the ga’s design, the life simulations that players encounter thereafter are determined by these initial questions. After filling in this question, her character would embark on the simulation according to the preset trajectory and simulate a different life.
Moreover, depending on the question, players could see different content, and the ways to die were weird and varied, so much so that it could be described as “a hundred thousand ways to die.”
Seeing Mukuai 1234 had gotten to this question, Xien Waidao directly asked, “What do you want the most?”
“Why should I tell you!” Mukuai 1234 retorted unhappily.
“At a ti like this, you’re still playing hard to get! Spit it out quickly, don’t make do sothing you won’t like!”
Looking at the fierce Xien Waidao, Mukuai 1234 disdainfully replied, “What can you do?”
“I found an easter egg in Fang Cheng Studio’s ga that can force NPCs to change clothes, so…”
“You scoundrel!”
Mukuai 1234 cursed fiercely and then entered her answer into the system, “Inexhaustible rit.”
Glancing at Mukuai 1234’s response, Xien Waidao said discontentedly, “That’s it?”
“What else?”
“Fine, carry on.”
Shrugging her shoulders, Mukuai 1234 clicked start and began the simulation.
[At age 0, you were born, a girl.]
[At age 1, you were born into a poor family. Your parents didn’t have much money, but you loved them.]
…
[At age 7, the illness in the world was getting worse, and your parents got infected. In order to treat your parents, you found the temple keeper and sold yourself into the temple.]
[At age 15, you were offered on the altar as sustenance for the Disease Demon Lord, and you died.]
Looking at her end, Mukuai 1234 felt her breathing grow rapid, almost unable to stand steady.
mories she had intentionally forgotten resurfaced, reminding her of her past, and of the days she was tornted by the Disease Demon Lord.
Noticing that Mukuai 1234 was not alright, Xien Waidao imdiately grabbed her hand and asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m…”
“Let’s take a break, you don’t seem to be in good shape. Liuzi, you explain to the Goddess of Art,” Xien Waidao suggested.
Mukuai 1234 was sent to rest aside, and the Goddess of Art floated to the computer, then began to operate it.
After bringing up the sa question, she did not hesitate to write Liuzi’s na down.
Seeing the Goddess of Art’s action, Liuzi’s ears imdiately turned red to the tip of his nose.
Subconsciously pinching his earlobe, he said in a low voice, “Why are you writing my na?”
“Oh, I wrote it wrong,” the Goddess of Art said with a bashful look, “I thought it was the person I wanted the most.”
“That’s almost the sa thing…”
“You’re not an object.”
“Don’t scold people…”
“Forget it, let’s run it again.”
After refreshing to bring up “her favorite person,” the Goddess of Art did not hesitate to add Liuzi’s na once more and wrote about Liuzi’s situation in the supplentary description of the question.
At first, she was quite happy with her laughter.
So events were connected to her, so were unrelated; she seed to see another possible life of hers, making her realize that her current life was truly a miracle.
Any tiny change could set her apart, yet so key events would not change significantly.
Even as a god, she could not resist the arrangents of fate.
Compared to other mortals who were helpless in the river of destiny, she was just a slightly larger flatboat.
However, when she eagerly read the latter content, the smile on her face gradually solidified.
After finishing, she dragged the mouse upward, reviewing all the content again, and then said, “It’s impossible.”
“What did you see?” Liuzi asked.
“Our fate together is only a few decades, that’s not right.”
“A few decades is already quite long.”
“Not enough,” the Goddess of Art said shaking her head, “Given how much I like you, I hoped it would be forever.”
Her straightforward words and sincere confession, even knowing the one before him was just an NPC, made Liuzi feel his heart pounding uncontrollably.
The alarm of the gaming pod rang in his ears, a familiar voice by his ear, “Mr. Liuzi, I notice your heartbeat is irregular, do you need to call an ambulance for you?”
“No need, thank you.”
Asking the other party to keep quiet, Liuzi saw the Goddess of Art gearing up, ready for another round.
“Watch closely, Liuzi, this ti I will definitely achieve the ending where I am with you forever!”
“Yeah, go for it!”
However, after trying for three full hours, the Goddess of Art fell into self-doubt.
Sipping coffee brought over by Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, the Goddess of Art covered her head and looked at the ending in front of her; she couldn’t help but say, “It shouldn’t be, according to my luck, it shouldn’t end like this.”
The gaplay wasn’t long, so players could complete a cycle in under ten minutes, then derive great joy from it.
This fast-paced type of gaplay allowed players to play a round anyti and then share their outcos with others.
The Goddess of Art played even quicker.
She watched various events at nearly a minute per round, after three hours and nearly two hundred attempts, but still, she hadn’t seen the ending she desired.
The ga had countless endings, yet no matter how she tried, the ending where she was with Liuzi forever never appeared.
She tried making Liuzi her Angel Envoy, granting him all sorts of powers and using all kinds of bizarre thods to prolong his life.
However, no matter how she tried, her fate with Liuzi was only for a few decades.
That amount of ti was long for mortals, but for a god, it was so short it hardly allowed a sigh.
At that mont, the Goddess of Art realized why this was the case.
It was the divination of the Great Heavenly Lord, a ga revealing possible futures.
And in this future, there was no place for her and Liuzi.
Trendous anger surged, followed by boundless despair and sorrow.
In this world, there was no future for her and Liuzi.
