Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 842 - 840: "Sugar (2)

"Come! This is your new weapon! Please take it!"

In front of the forging hut, the enthusiastic bald Forging Master Seruo thrust a long staff into Su Ming’an’s hand.

Su Ming’an took the long staff, still paying attention to Noel’s expression.

He remembered what Noel had said to him an hour ago.

...

"Su Ming’an. I had discussed with the children to implant them with powerful mechanical bodies to make them stronger, and they agreed with me."

"And those adults, full of so-called ’moral values,’ think it’s enough for the children to stay innocent, unaware that such children would have no chance of surviving in the world a year from now."

"If they can’t get stronger, with their frail bodies and unimportant status, they’ll become cannon fodder in the instance. A few of them might even become targets for certain perverts seeking harm. A year later, what awaits these children is death amid the crushing fires of war."

"All I ask is for the children to promise me, that after becoming stronger, they keep this modification a secret and tell no one."

"...As a result, some children have already leaked it to others."

"Last night, Bonnie came to me, asking to be modified as well. I refused her request. But I know, since even Bonnie knows now, it won’t be long before many people find out."

"I’m not afraid of my actions being publicized, but I fear the children getting hurt. I’m afraid those self-proclaiming ’pure humans’ adults will curse the children as ’modified beings,’ believing children should stay quietly in kindergartens until their death."

"I don’t care about the vast majority of humans in this world; I only care about the innocent children."

"I just want them to survive."

Noel’s long monologue still echoed in Su Ming’an’s mind.

At that time, when Su Ming’an wanted to comfort Noel, Noel suddenly lifted his head and smiled, saying, "Forget it, I’m not sad anymore, let’s go," and then left.

Just like usual, Noel took the people to have fun in the New World Guild, his face still wearing an enthusiastic smile.

After touring several beautiful buildings, they came to Forging Master Seruo’s house. According to Noel, there was a weapon suited for Su Ming’an here.

Su Ming’an stared at the white long staff in front of him. The weapon was about one meter and fifty centimeters long, with a pair of angel wings at the sharp end soaring in tandem, a bright red gemstone set between the wings, not looking like a magic wand, but rather like...

"A priest’s staff? Is this weapon really suitable for Su Ming’an?" Yamada Machiichi asked in surprise.

...

[Jiang Mengushan’s Priest’s Staff (Red Level): "Fish meeting a bird in flight, does Chao Yan set in the evening?"]

Attack Power: 5~10

Durability: 10/10

Equipment Requirement: Healing Series Occupation, Spirit of 50 points or more.

Active Skill (Healing Hand): After chanting for one second, restore (50+2*Mentality Points) Health Points to the selected player. Cooldown Time is 10 seconds. Costs 100 Blue Energy.

Active Skill (Judgment Angel): This weapon can switch form, adding an additional weapon, sharing all Attribute Points.

Note: Weapon created by Forging Master Seruo. Please shout "Sir, the times have changed!" when using it.]

...

Su Ming’an waved the priest’s staff, the white brilliance flashed consecutively, and the special effects looked quite impressive.

The ’Healing Hand’ skill isn’t much to talk about, an ordinary healing skill; in Shadow State, it can heal about 550 HP at once, and in Bright State about 100 HP at once, which is decent. But in cases like a severed limb, replenishing HP doesn’t help. The HP Value in the World Game is similar to a visual perception, not having direct judgment use, at most it helps heal wounds and supplement blood loss.

But the "Judgment Angel" skill is quite interesting.

...

[Judgment Angel Skill: Please select a weapon to attach to the priest’s staff.]

...

Su Ming’an chose the Purple Grade Shotgun (Hunt of Glory), and the next moment, the top of the priest’s staff suddenly revealed a dark gun muzzle!

The white wings on both sides retracted, and the white priest’s staff actually emitted an unscientific metallic sound, just hearing a few "ka ka" noises, and a large gun muzzle emerged at the tip of the priest’s staff.

The equipment description of this priest’s staff completely turned into the description of the Purple Grade Shotgun (Hunt of Glory), and you can completely fire using the priest’s staff.

"..." Su Ming’an looked up at the smiling Forging Master Seruo, then looked down at the priest’s staff with its dark gun muzzle exposed.

"A very confusing piece of equipment, faster than normal switching of equipment." Lu touched his chin, "If needed later on in an instance, you can play a priest, and then switch instantaneously to a shotgun when the enemy approaches..."

"Su Ming’an. I’ll hold it for you first, once we’re in the instance, I’ll give it to you," Lv Shu said. The Main God World doesn’t allow for gifting equipment between players, so he planned to buy it first, then give it to Su Ming’an for free once inside.

"Wait, since it’s my gift, of course, I’ll pay for it..." Noel said.

But as Noel said this, his gaze suddenly darkened.

"Never mind." He waved his hand and said, "Lv Shu, you buy it then."

He suddenly remembered that he couldn’t use his player permissions right now.

And... he might not be able to return.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy as Lv Shu took over the priest’s staff, quietly completing the points payment. Su Ming’an didn’t speak, just quietly watching their sacrifices, the weight on his shoulders slowly sinking.

Until——

"——Beautiful leaderboard players!!!"

From afar, came a high-pitched voice.

"Clang clang clang——"

From somewhere far away, came the sound of bird wings flapping.

When people looked up——

Unexpectedly, there were hundreds of thousands of snow-white birds suddenly sweeping across the blue sky, the bird feathers reflecting the golden blazing sun, each one like a scattering meteor.

They presented a beautiful and breathtaking scene, flying in rows from one end of the sky to the other. Some birds held petals in their beaks, others held ribbons, and as they flew past the area where Su Ming’an and his group were, several ’clang clang’ sounds——

Petals and ribbons, like scattered rainbow light, floated down, reflected in their pupils.

Several rose petals fell on Su Ming’an’s head, ribbons brushed past his wind-swept hair, as if a rainbow had been sprinkled all over him.

He stared in amazement at the grand scene above, at hundreds of white birds circling the blue dome, circling right above him, singing as if for him.

A giant open-top luxury car came from afar. The car’s body shimmered with dazzling brilliance.

The sunlight carved a long line across the dazzling red car hood, and the luxury car seemed to be carrying an entire sun.

A black-haired girl in a silver-lined sparkling white long dress, right hand on the car’s steering wheel, left hand holding a cluster of layered lily flowers. With a loud screeching sound of brakes, she stepped on the brakes, opened the car door, and a heavy blood-red carpet rolled down from the car, sweeping all the way to Su Ming’an’s feet, unfolding.

Even the carpet was full of tiny diamonds and jewels. The car door was facing Su Ming’an, seemingly waiting for him to step onto the carpet and diamonds inside, the scene akin to Cinderella stepping onto the pumpkin carriage.

"Come aboard, my dear travelers." Lin Yin holding up her silver-lined sparkly white dress with one hand, flowers with the other, said affectionately to Su Ming’an: "My beautiful prince, would you be willing to cast aside your troubles and join us on this delightful New Year journey?"

"..."

A large question mark appeared above Su Ming’an’s head.

He turned back to look at Noel.

"Come on." Noel reached out to him: "I will make sure you never forget that you are Su Ming’an, make sure you remember who the people around you are. I won’t let you get confused."

Su Ming’an looked at the white bird on Noel’s shoulder.

He understood that Noel seemed to be using a kind of psychological ’desensitization therapy’ on him, allowing him to see and remember features and characters similar to those in his memory repeatedly, slowly fading the influence of emotional resonance from the Ninth World.

—Noel wanted him to remember that he is "Su Ming’an."

This thoughtfulness can’t be covered by words.

Su Ming’an reached out, grabbed Noel’s hand, and with a single effort—

The next moment, Noel executed a perfect 180° front flip, and was thrown into the luxury car by Su Ming’an.

"Hey!" Noel shouted.

Su Ming’an performed a spatial displacement and entered the luxury car.

"The jewels on the ground should be worth quite a few points." The car was a bit small, and Su Ming’an shoved Noel further in: "Don’t step on them, we can reclaim some points later."

No sooner had he spoken, Lv Shu happened to step forward, landing on the red carpet, with several cracking sounds coming from beneath his foot.

...

Area 8, United Zoo.

When the group arrived driving the luxury car, no one recognized they were the real deal. In fact, quite a few people hoped to take photos with their "cosplayer group," but were politely refused by Lin Yin and Noel.

This was the largest zoo in the Main God World, often visited by couples, the elderly, and children for leisurely strolls. The group alighted from the luxury car, bypassed the crowd, and arrived at the plaza, where hundreds of white doves perched by the wishing pond.

"Mom, they’re so cute!" A dozen little children scurried through the group of white doves, while the adults nearby watched their play with amused smiles.

"Slow down, run slower."

"Dad, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes..."

"Alright, I’ll get you Lv Shu’s brand, see there’s one selling over there..."

On the benches, there were several middle-aged people leaning on crutches, and even some elderly men and women dancing in the square. As Su Ming’an approached the wishing pond, a few white doves almost flew into his face.

"Be careful, they’re very friendly." Lu, holding a few white doves, walked over. They pecked at food in his palm frantically, like jackhammers.

Su Ming’an turned his head, and found that Lin Yin was already chatting with Lv Shu beside them.

He turned back to look at Lu.

"Lu, did you often attend banquets before?" Su Ming’an asked curiously. He noticed Lu was completely at ease at the New Year’s Eve dinner last night, maintaining a smile even when facing Su Rin’s horrifying potato soup.

"Hmm." Lu patted the back feathers of a dove: "I used to attend banquets frequently with my father, standing under the lights to greet various faces. But never was an event as interesting as this."

He raised his hand, and the dove soared skyward, his face adorned with a gentle and natural smile.

Su Ming’an imagined it, thinking about Lu’s past as an international leader navigating both the black and white paths. He then recalled a childhood puzzle that had troubled him for a long time, and couldn’t help but ask: "Then did you ever drown your enemies in the river?"

Lu was startled, then laughed: "Why would you think that?"

"In the TV dramas I’ve seen, if someone messes with people like you, they’d be crippled, gagged, tied with stones, and drowned." Su Ming’an said seriously: "I’ve always been curious if that’s true."

"You’re still a kid after all." Lu shook his head with a smile: "There’s no such thing."

Su Ming’an felt slightly relieved, realizing Lu previously was not the kind of person who killed without blinking.

Lu gently stroked the dove’s feathers, it affectionately rubbed against his face:

"Typically, we just shoot directly, there’s no time for so much processing. Driving to the riverside is too time-consuming."

Su Ming’an’s expression paused.

...really stating terrifying words with a calm voice.

"Like charging into the enemy’s house with hundreds of men to silence foes, flying planes to flatten enemy camps, using cannons to sever bridges, or even using aircraft carriers to bomb islands... I read on the forum someone said you used to do such things, is that true?" Su Ming’an asked.

"There’s no such thing, just slander." Lu shook his head with a smile.

"That’s good to hear..." Su Ming’an said.

"Though I basically did most of those." Lu said.

Su Ming’an: "..."

"But the last one is definitely slander, I haven’t managed to get an aircraft carrier." Lu smiled.

Su Ming’an: "..."

"By the way, Su Ming’an." Lu said.

"...Hmm."

"I feel... in the entire Ninth World, you’re always listening to others’ wishes. I hope you can have your own wishes too. Even at the last moment of wishing, the same applies." Lu said.

Su Ming’an was slightly startled, then nodded.

"You got it, but you won’t do it, right?" Lu said.

"I certainly will..."

Yet Lu said, "If an instance targeting mental state really appears in the future, for someone like you, I genuinely fear you might not endure... You can be greedy, Su Ming’an, you can be greedy."

Su Ming’an stayed slightly stunned.

Lu looked up, at the long bench in the distance; Luna had bought several sugar figures and was walking toward them.

"How about setting the alliance’s founding ceremony for tomorrow?" Lu changed the topic.

"Alright." Su Ming’an nodded.

"Here, Su Ming’an! Eat a sugar figure, it’s very sweet. I heard from the kids over there that Lv Shu’s head is especially delicious; here you go—" Luna, ignoring Lv Shu’s sullen face beside her, laughed as she handed the sugar figure to Su Ming’an:

"Open your mouth, here—"

Su Ming’an reluctantly opened his mouth.

"Beep beep beep—"

"Ah...who’s contacting me at a time like this?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Eni, munching on a cotton candy beside, suddenly heard the "beep beep beep" sound of a communication alert. Glancing down:

"United Group’s Lin Wang’an, who is this person? I don’t remember adding them as a friend..."

In an instant.

Everything went silent.

Lv Shu and Lin Yin by the wishing pond turned around; Noel and Yamada Machiichi leaning on the luxury car focused their gaze slightly, while Luna holding the sugar figure paused.

Only the sound of the "beep beep beep" communication alert continually rang out in front of Eni.

Eni froze for a moment, suddenly remembering who it was.

He reached out to end the call, only to see Su Ming’an already standing in front of him.
