Volume 11: The Cursed Hammer Witch Chapter 3 Agreement
What are today's middle school students thinking?
Looking at the cheering little girl, Li Lin felt that he might have been in prison for a hundred years instead of ten years.
He doesn't care about background, he just likes it, and he doesn't have any special requirements or other ideas. He simply wants to play with people. As a B-level boss, he doesn't have any class gap, and he even laughs off other people's self-explosion.
What's wrong with this little girl? Is she an angel? Is she an angel from some religion in reality? Otherwise, who would go with a sissy whose expression, psychology and behavior are all dark? Didn't the woman in the game refuse to meet in person? Although Li Lin felt that he didn't care about this matter at all, and didn't care that his appearance and ability were just a game data in the game, he still felt lost when he heard the rejection.
However, this little girl didn't care at all. She didn't even know who Li Lin was, nor did she know whether he had the authority. She simply came over because she thought it was a good idea. Can such a person survive in this cruel world?
“…”
Ah, no, if you think about it carefully, it’s not her who can’t live, but me.
Who made me a complete rookie who didn't have any prosthetics, no data uploaded to the database, and even needed more than a hundred days to do a search?
Thinking back to his real position in this society, Li Lin felt a little sad. Compared with a genius junior high school girl, what is a former professional player like him? He boasted about his pride, but in fact, e-sports had long been dead in name only with the emergence of cyborgs.
Can you beat a professional computer in looking at details and estimating the overall situation with your fast hand speed? A few optimization algorithms can probably make a person hang up and hammer him into a rice cake. Evolution is impossible, and I can only entertain myself in RPG games like a salted fish. Anyway, RPG-like games can make up for other things through time, isn't that good? Although other things are rubbish, I don't have much else, can't I have a lot of free time?
"'I feel like my brother is falling into self-pity again. Is that really okay?'"
"No problem. I just wonder why a kid like you would appear..."
"'Isn't it? Super cute, right? I like myself too! So brother, please praise me quickly, and then what game are you playing now?'"
"...Les Miserables."
"'Eh? Is this a game based on the eponymous IP of Victor Hugo simulating the French Revolution?'"
The little girl showed a slightly subtle expression.
"'It may be a little too early for me now. I may not be able to understand Jean Valjean's feeling of losing everything. After all, I am only a fourteen-year-old child. It is really too early for me to play this...'"
"It's not Les Misérables! It's another game! Its name is Les Misérables, just a simple game name, without any other mess. There is no Jean Valjean, no French Revolution, and no Victor Hugo. It's just a simple game. Although it's a bit niche, there are not many people playing it, and it was reported a wave of upgrades and it's a bit slow, but it's still pretty fun, probably."
"'I really can't hear from you that this game is worth playing even a little bit...'"
"That's true, hahaha..."
"'But since it's a game my brother likes to play, I'll play it too. I'll be out most of the time looking at biological reagents and other things, but it's okay to play for a while, right?'"
"Oh... although I personally don't really recommend you to play."
"'How could that be? Since this is a game that Li Lin likes to play, I have to give it a try. Don't forget that you will have to accompany me to the Darwin Mine to search for biological samples in a while. It's not good to be addicted to games. When we first started talking, I always felt that Li Lin was expecting something to unfold without permission and ended up being deceived. But since it's a game, I can completely understand it. That's it~ See you in a few days~'"
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
This little girl had a personality that completely matched her name. She was like a hazy dream, leaving behind a meaningless but beautiful message, and then quickly drifting away from life, turning into endless smoke and dust.
Seeing the little girl's disconnected status, Li Lin, who thought he had made the right choice, couldn't help but sigh with some melancholy. Although she was just an innocent 14-year-old girl, it was a good thing to be able to talk to people, right? Compared to those adults who had no idea of the details and looked friendly, it was better to believe in the simple and reckless goodwill of the little girl than to believe in their goodwill.
Although the database can instill considerable knowledge, the experience is still there. No one can have countless memories and insights out of thin air. Doing so can only lead to the replacement and collapse of personality, or to the reshaping of another personality. In fact, personality is unexpectedly fragile. It only takes some artificial hormones, memories, knowledge, and seemingly false electric currents to easily change a person's personality and habits into another one. Even more purely, a large amount of money and other similar stimuli can easily change personality. So the younger the age, the less impact, and the purer it is.
Therefore, Li Lin prefers those young creatures or compatriots, because compared with those elders who have been corrected or even rewritten many times, Li Lin feels that these elementary school students are more pure. Although humans are rewriting their personalities all the time, Li Lin also tends to be emotionally inclined towards elementary school students.
At least, at this age, their views on money, the world, mechanical ethics, etc. will not be violently overwritten by anything special, and that is enough.
"How strange! Where did I get all this messed up knowledge from..."
Could it be that he participated in learning activities in prison?
Thinking about his life in prison, all Li Lin could think of was pure blankness.
Looking at the dimming communication, he shook his head and quickly put these messy thoughts behind him. Just like ignoring these things, after greeting the drone in his mind, Li Lin slowly walked towards the road home.
