Chapter 1229: One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Six·"Do you really think I am a jellyfish without an emperor?"

Warm yellow lights lit up one by one, and the boundless blue sea in the distance sank into the sky.

Students carrying backpacks rode their bicycles across the sidewalk, and young couples kissed under the lights.

Su Mingan and the other two walked in the fragrance of gardenias, with white flowers dotted on the branches.

"No new lenses have appeared. Is it because the daily plots are no longer popular? Maybe the World Tree likes melodramatic plots, like the rich young man just now." Hui Bi stroked his chin: "The World Tree's ideas will change. Sometimes it is tired and likes to read stories that don't require thinking. Sometimes it is bored and will read something with more content. Recently, it should be the period when it doesn't want to use its brain and only wants to read melodramatic and exciting plots."

"...The World Tree really has ideas." Su Mingan said. He didn't know what the nature of the World Tree was. The generally accepted view of Luowasha was that the World Tree was the incarnation of the Supreme Lord Tosolius.

He suddenly realized that the rich young man just now was probably not like that by nature, but the character he chose was the villainous brainless rich young man. In order to play this character, the rich young man came to cause trouble for Su Mingan and acted like he deserved a beating.

In this world, everyone has their own logic for action. Even the bloody villains have their own reasons. There is no hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason.

If something has only two sides, black and white, and there is no gray area that can cause people to waver, it must be because people cannot see it, not because it does not exist.

"I have a question, Huibi." Su Ming'an thought for a moment, "We have spent the past few hours deepening the stereotype of me as a [student]. You just emphasized that only when we form a stereotype of our [personality] can we become stronger."

"But a real person cannot be just a stereotype. His/her [personality] cannot be consistent. This is not in line with reality. Just like the personality you mentioned before, which is gentle, cold, mature, and childish, it sounds logically self-contradictory and messed up, but I really know such a person, and he/she exists."

After hearing this, Hui Bi's smile faded slightly and her tone became serious: "It's not important."

"What?" Su Mingan looked up.

Hui Bi walked in front, her golden hair swaying slightly, full of gilded glory, and just repeated:
"……It does not matter."

Su Mingan seemed to understand something.

"In reality, such people exist, but in the eyes of the World Tree, such people are OOC (out of character setting)." Hui Bi said:

"The World Tree doesn't care whether a person changes or not. It will only identify and deepen this single stereotype. If a person is cold, then his core must be cold. If he violates this, he will lose points, it is 'unreasonable', and it is self-contradictory."

"For you, saving Luo Vasha is your responsibility. If one day you suddenly don't want to save her, it seems like it's OOC. But is there really a possibility... that you really don't want to save her?"

Su Ming'an opened his mouth. He wanted to say that there was no such possibility, but when he thought of the card he drew [SSR Mirror Su Ming'an], he hesitated again.

"World Tree believes that everyone has their own logical basis, and once it is violated, it is unreasonable. We creators can only echo this concern. The most stable and simplest method is to continuously deepen the stereotype of each character: when mentioning a certain person, think of 'mature', not 'childish'. When mentioning a certain person, think of 'cold', not 'gentle'. Only by continuously deepening this single stereotype can we ensure that the stories we create will not cause controversy."

"If a character is both childish and mature, gentle and cold, it's easy for people to think that it's a miswriting, even if such a person really exists in real life."

“So, stereotypes are bad, but they don’t matter.”

“Nobody cares about stories that don’t stereotype, you know?”

Huibi's words were sincere and meaningful, and every student would benefit greatly from them. He broke down the details and taught Su Mingan how to write a high-scoring story.

Su Mingan remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

"If it doesn't work, we can only leave the campus and go to a more dangerous place to try to get the memory lens." Pudding said worriedly: "But if we leave here, I don't know if I can cover up the scent of Olivers on you..."

And just then.

There were exclamations all around, and the students looked up at the sky.

"--what is that?"

"——Oh my God, it's...it's a dragon!"

"——Is it the legendary dragon knight? Even in Dongxuan Country, this kind of high-level race is extremely rare..."

Su Mingan looked up.

In the deep night, a golden light flashed.

A dragon with crystal-like scales, two claws, wings as sharp as golden bat wings, eyes burning like fire, appeared in the sky. The dragon's body was narrow and strong, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, and its claws were like mirrors flashing cold light.

Su Mingan thought it was coming to eat him, but the dragon's eyes flickered for a moment, and its body suddenly shrank and turned into a golden light and fell into the campus.

Then, a hand caught the dragon. It was a young man with flowing black hair. His golden eyes were like the dragon itself, full of sharpness. He descended from the sky, with golden light swirling around him.

There was no need to look at the facial features, just by looking at the brightness, Su Mingan roughly knew who it was.

"Lord Dragon Knight has come to Samanthi University to..." An old man with white hair and beard went to greet him and motioned for the young man to come to the reception room.

The young man waved his hand, pointed far away, and said calmly: "I'll go find him."

In an instant, Su Mingan, who was standing next to the roadside tree, became the focus of all students.

"Swish!" Huibi drew his sword vigilantly.

As soon as they saw the fight was about to start, everyone immediately moved away from him. This was a dragon knight, and a fight would cause too much damage.

The old man frowned slightly and said politely: "Then you are looking for our students because..."

Su Lin moved and instantly turned into a ray of golden light, striking towards Su Mingan.

"--fight."

The cross of light leaped up, and a transparent barrier appeared out of thin air. However, Su Lin's momentum did not slow down. With a click, a golden palm print landed on the space barrier, and the next second, the barrier shattered like glass.

There was a buzzing sound, and countless transparent fragments scattered into the air and quickly disappeared.

The air seemed to have pairs of invisible hands reaching out from the darkness and suddenly tightening -

"boom--!!"

The air wailed, the ground cracked, and Hui Bi, who was standing next to him, was pulled several steps away by the aftermath.

He looked in shock at Su Mingan who was standing in front of him. Su Mingan's white hair was fluttering, his golden eyes were sharp, his palm was facing forward, invisible waves of light condensed in his palm, creating such a terrifying space vibration.

"This kid... is so terrifying!" others couldn't help but shout.

"Dragon Knight broke into our school like this and attacked students wantonly. Do you really think that there is no emperor in my Samantri University?"

After a round of fighting, Su Mingan fought and retreated, while Su Lin followed closely behind him like a sharp golden light.

Thirty seconds later, the two men could no longer be seen by anyone.

Hui Bi wanted to chase after him, but he was powerless. His chest was still filled with the aftershocks of the shock, and he almost vomited blood.

"I don't know anything..." He half-knelt down, staring at the two people's disappearing backs, and clenched his fists:

"Can't do it..."

……

At the same time, the school is surrounded by dense forests.

Seeing that no one was chasing him, Su Mingan stopped the spatial displacement.

The next second, Su Lin appeared in front of him, all his mighty power dissipated.

"…Have you completed the mission?" Su Lin asked.

"It's done." Su Ming'an nodded. Whether it was "a 2000-word story" or "a battle", it was completed with Su Lin's action.

"Well, if you become a D-level creator, you can help me during the [Game Day]." Su Lin said lightly.

“……”Su Mingan opened the book.

The two new lenses he got were "Liu Jin meets the heroine for the first time, Samanthi enjoys life" and "Don't bully the jellyfish without the emperor". He put the two lenses on the fifth and sixth pages of the book.

"Su Lin, do you usually read novels? Can you write?" Su Ming'an suddenly asked. Now that Yueyue is not here, it is better to ask Su Lin for advice. After all, having an old person by your side is like having a treasure. Su Lin has lived for so long, he should understand a little bit.

"I know a little bit and have seen thousands of Praya plays." Su Lin's answer was very humble.

"Then can you help me see how to process it artistically..." Su Ming'an lowered his head.

After some discussion, the story was completed with the assistance of Su Lin.

……

【The setting sun is like blood, and the afterglow is scattered. 】

[The cafeteria is brightly lit, and students are chatting and having dinner together.]

【Suddenly, a young man with a stubby face strode into the cafeteria, looked at Liu Jin with disdain in his eyes, and sneered: "What a mob, to entertain yourself with such vulgar food." As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him froze. 】

[After hearing this, Liu Jin just smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Although I have fallen to this point, I was once the old god Asasto, holding the power of dawn and leading the fire of the wasteland. I am not only the master of Praya Cloud City, but also the messenger of fate and judgment. Although I eat humble food today, I can still find the ambition of the wind and cloud."]

[These words were like thunder in the ears of the young man, and his face turned pale. He was ashamed and hurried away.]

[However, Liu Jin walked out of the cafeteria, just as he felt a little relieved, he suddenly saw a dragon knight, who was majestic and handsome, descending from the sky. Before he could say anything, he pointed his sword at Liu Jin with a fierce momentum.]

[The two men clashed swords and halberds. Liu Jin knew that this man was extraordinary. He fought hard and did not retreat. He knew in his heart that it would be difficult to defeat him this time. So he retreated while fighting, seeking an opportunity to break out...]

……

Although there are many things to complain about in this story, and Su Lin's personal opinions were added, Su Ming'an had nothing to change.

He discovered that not only Hui Bai, but even Hui Bi did not appear in the story. It was as if the World Tree deliberately ignored Hui Bi and did not acknowledge her existence. Hui Bi had done so much with so much effort, but she still had no name in the story.

"By the way, you have come all the way here, do you know any news about Noel?" Su Mingan asked.

"I don't know. I won't deliberately ask about other people's affairs." Su Lin said:

"He's not an unreliable person. He may be on his way."

……

Central laboratory.

"Gurgling..."

A half-grown spirit was immersed in a nutrient tank. Its beautiful golden hair fluttered in the water like wet bird feathers. Noel closed his eyes, still seeming to be asleep.

The blue robot finished today's record and looked longingly at Noel in the nutrient tank.

"...You are really beautiful, a legendary ancient creature." The blue robot murmured:
"When you have grown up, the leader will eat you."

"I wish you could survive. You would be perfect. This is what researchers expect of life... But I am just a small robot after all. I can't save you."

Noel in the nutrient tank was motionless.

With a reluctant look, the blue robot left.

Noel opened his eyes instantly, and the deep red color swayed slightly in those sea-like eyes, like a raging fire.

……

"Ding dong!"

[[Game Day] will start in half an hour, the countdown begins——]

[The final winner will gain supreme power and the gaze of the Supreme Lord. ]

【Welcome everyone to the bloody world of killing. 】

……

Noel looked inside his transparent body, where there was already a black card - an invitation to [Game Day]. This invitation appeared out of thin air beside him.

The invitation is square with sharp edges, like a black card.

……

at the same time.

According to Pudding's arrangement, Su Mingan walked into the last performance venue of the night to perfect his "student" character.

A room filled with steam and fragrance——

Cafe.

Su Mingan didn't know why Pudding chose the coffee shop as the last location. When he was in college, he basically never stepped into a coffee shop, and only drank milk tea occasionally. What was the significance of this to his student role? Could he trigger some plot in the coffee shop?
"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

The door curtain was lifted, the wind chimes rang softly, and the night breeze swayed. Su Mingan walked slowly into the coffee shop with doubts.

Flowers are blooming on the table, and large swathes of golden light fall on the table, making people feel warm and soft.

Cans of brown and black coffee beans were placed on the coffee table, with golden lights flashing around the edges. An old wall clock was ticking, and the rich aroma of hand-ground coffee wafted from the bar. As it was late, there were only one customer in the coffee shop.

A red-haired woman sat at the coffee table with a smile on her face. Her long hair was like curly rose petals and her eyes were gentle. She looked at Su Mingan as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Her fingertips,

——Spinning a dark card.

"Mr. Su." When Su Mingan sat down, the red-haired woman smiled and stretched out her hand, saying gently:

……

"Mr. Su."

"——We would like to invite you to participate in a real-life game."
