"My ideal?"
Li Lin thought for a mont, then said very straightforwardly:
"World peace."
"I'm not joking."
"I'm not joking with you either, I really want world peace."
"…????"
"Is it that hard to understand? Then let explain it in a way you can understand."
Looking at the bewildered Lappland, Li Lin sighed and said slowly:
"As you guys said, my body actually has problems, already on the verge of collapse, could kick the bucket at any ti. So what do I want? To slack off. How can I obtain entertainnt more easily? How can I live more happily? Do you think that's possible in an era of war?"
"Definitely impossible. In an era of war, everyone has to make way for the war. All entertainnt activities and related public facilities will cease. Say nothing else, just talk about Lungn itself. Wasn't the atmosphere tense so ti ago, so many nightclubs were closed? It doesn't matter to , but for others, it's a very big blow. Why? The entertainnt industry disappears, people can't release their inner pressure and emotions. And it's even worse for ."
"What I like isn't nightclubs, but more virtual entertainnt activities built upon nightclubs. And none of these entertainnt activities don't require world peace. I want to play team competitive gas with people without people actually dying; what does that require? Stable electricity, internet, operating companies, computers, lines, a group of players who actually live in a peaceful environnt and don't need to be ready to run at any mont. Do you think such requirents can be t in an era of war and chaos? Impossible. Even if I just want to eat sothing, want to taste better food, that still requires arable land to have the leisure to grow spices, the premise is still world peace."
"If the world is full of war and chaos, manpower itself will be lost, and thus cease to exist. Without manpower, there are no producers and consurs, and without these two, do you think there can be any entertainnt? Even Sora singing those pop songs like that, everyone can listen with relish; this is just Lungn and other peaceful areas, what about the demand of the whole world?"
Thinking of this world's barren lifestyle, Li Lin felt a burst of anger.
Yes, cohabiting with beautiful girls isn't bad, but idiot netizens are life necessities! Chatting nonsense with people online, discussing news from all over the world, playing gas, listening to music, reading good novels, then watching those strears do stupid things , sleeping after eating full, waking up and doing it again, that's life.
What about now?
"…Wait a mont."
Tugging at her collar, Lappland raised her hand seriously to interrupt Li Lin, asking earnestly:
"I basically don't understand what you were just saying, can you describe it again in language I can understand? Please directly use the simplest way to describe your dream."
"What I'm saying is wanting to enjoy life, comrade."
Looking at the completely uncomprehending Lappland, Li Lin felt like hitting iron that wouldn't beco steel ( - exasperated at soone's failure to et expectations).
"You guys are good-looking, live long, are healthy and everything, why don't you do human things? Clearly, there's this thing called Catastrophes hanging over your heads, yet you don't think about how to fight Catastrophes; fine if you just focus on running away, but you're still fighting wars. And what damned Oripathy. For heaven's sake , does each of you have ninety-nine lives, feeling uncomfortable if you don't throw one away idly? Is it that hard for to want to play so things, write so novels?"
"Smile more? Make more good-looking clothes and safe environnts? Everyone eats delicious food, drinks delicious drinks, then doesn't harm each other and happily plays gas together, isn't that good? Now there's internet, everything is available, yet it's ssed up like this just because of fighting wars; don't you have peace agreents ensuring mutual destruction?"
"Peace agreents ensuring mutual destruction? What's that?"
Lappland asked sowhat curiously.
"It's a dead hand device ensuring that while destroying oneself, the enemy can also be destroyed. This is the foundation of peace."
Li Lin looked at Lappland's uncomprehending appearance and sighed regretfully.
The longer he stayed in this world, the more he missed the goodness of his original world. On-demand food delivery, the happiness brought by s and idiot netizens online, the fla wars between various keyboard warriors, the fun of playing gas with friends , and those trolls he hated imnsely but now sowhat missed.
All these joys and pains were built upon the foundation of peace. Can you say life here is bad? Can't say it's bad either. Have cute work partners, stable work, dormitory provides food and lodging, can even exercise. But is it really happy? Li Lin didn't feel he was very happy. Various dangers constantly accompanied him; mornings were okay, but evenings were ti for gangster vendettas. Curfew accompanied by faint gunshots and explosions.
Lungn like this was considered the area with the best public security, yet various entertainnts and films were incredibly awkward/cringey ; those from Yan Country were slightly better, but other stuff from Lungn really couldn't be complinted.
"I just want to live peacefully and happily in this world…"
It would be even better if I could play gas with idiot netizens.
Preferably grinding Girls' Frontline.
Grinding ranking events was super fun.
Thinking of the life he once didn't cherish, Li Lin looked at the white plaster on the ceiling and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
And Lappland, sitting aside, watched the sorrowful Li Lin, unsure what she analyzed herself, lowered her head fiddling with her cuffs for a mont, then looked towards Li Lin, asking directly with a serious expression sowhat resembling Texas's:
"Overall, your wish is just wanting to live happily, that's right, isn't it?"
"That's right?"
"Not joking?"
"Why would I joke with you? What dream do you think I want to have? Beco a leader and cause trouble?"
"…I understand. Then I'll leave first. Rest well here."
"Oh? Oh."
What on earth did you co here for?
Under Li Lin's blaming gaze, Lappland stood up, walked out swaying her tail, and closed the main door behind her.
The well-soundproofed door isolated the sounds inside and outside. Lappland walked to the corner of the corridor, looked at the few figures standing in the blind spot holding a radio, and grinned. Tossing the recorder in her arms towards the figure with a halo, she then looked towards another person.
"The Prophet said this, what do you think? Texas?"
"…Who cares about him."
Crunching the Pocky, Texas, leaning against the corridor shadow, looked up at the ceiling, her voice calm as she spoke.
