Chapter 1420 Chapter : "Will Strawberry Shortcake Fly to the Sky?"

——Do you think strawberry shortbread can fly into the sky?

……

If you ask other people, they will most likely hope "yes", after all, it would be such a magical thing if strawberry shortbread could fly.

But if you ask me, I hope not.

My name is Ran Bo.

An ordinary victim lost in the tide of the times. An angry, powerless scientist whose life's work was only modified by a few strokes of Oliver's pen.

The Second Era, the Age of Creation. Just by listening to the name, you can tell whose era it is.

The wave of creation rose, overturning the scientific edifice, and all the magical things were born from the wild and romantic imagination of artists. Rigorous and boring formulas became colors that could be drawn at will.

why,
Why do I live in such an era! ?

……

As people cheered, a dim figure in a white coat slowly left the room in the corner.

Ran Bo walked up the stairs and came to a rooftop. The scorching red sunlight hung high above, and there were only six hours left until the moment of destruction.

He sat down quietly, looking up at the bright sun. The sky was filled with red clouds and dusk.

The entire experimental city was jubilant. This was the excitement of spanning 3029 resets. However, as a member of the experimental city, there was no smile on his face.

It seemed as if many voices were ringing in my ears.

……

“When I grow up, I want to be the best and most amazing scientist! I want to invent many amazing things and explore the entire universe! I want to help everyone and answer all of their questions!”

……

"Ran Bo, you will definitely be a genius of this era when you grow up."

……

"This must be Ran Bo. He is such a smart kid who can understand such complicated formulas at such a young age."

……

"Researcher Ran Bo, welcome to join the Queqiu Research Institute. You are really promising at a young age! I would like to ask, what is the reason why you insist on scientific research?"

"I... I want to fulfill my childhood wish. Also, I'm here to look for someone. His name is Xiao Que... No, his name is Olivers. When I was a kid, he was injured and fell into my yard. He made an appointment with me that if I can get into Que Qiu Research Institute, I can see him again."

“Oh, you want to see Mr. Olivers, which is not easy. He is a big celebrity in the World Tree now, and I’m afraid he doesn’t have time to see you.”

"Is that so...Okay, it doesn't matter. I'll just keep working hard and maybe I can do it..."

……

"Ran Bo! Wanna go out for dinner?"

"No, I still have assignments to do."

……

"Ran Bo, the girl from yesterday wants your contact information!"

"No, I'm working on my paper and don't have time for friends."

……

"Ran Bo, happy birthday! You can take a day off today!"

"Thank you, but I still want to clarify a piece of data. You guys take a rest first..."

……

"This, this is clearly my research result, why should I use his name on it!"

"Hey, Xiao Ran, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's okay to focus on research, but the prerequisite is to produce results. The investors don't plan to invest in your project anymore, unless you are willing to add their names to it..."

"...Okay, I understand."

"I have to say, Xiao Ran, it would be more useful to participate in some banquets and get to know some people who can help you than to study hard for several months. If you keep focusing on this kind of topic that cannot bring economic benefits... well, you are a newcomer after all. Without the endorsement of seniors, investors may..."

"..."

"Hey, Xiao Ran, when doing research, you also need to pay attention to the ways of the world! Otherwise, why would there be so much competition for academic achievements! The academic circle is also a circle!"

……

"Teacher Ran Bo, I see that your peers are all married, you don't plan to..."

"No. I'm waiting for someone. Before I meet that person, I can't let anything hold me back. I have to go high enough so that he can see me..."

……

"Old Ran, let me show you my son's wedding photo. He's so handsome!"

"Ah."

"Old Ran, are you still single? Decades have passed, and Olivers is now the most famous creator in Lovasa! Even if you try so hard, you can't see him!"

"……Um."

"I heard that he is now in a hot relationship with the Dragon King, the Elf King, and the Lord of the Dead. He probably forgot about you a long time ago. Besides, what would happen if you met Olivers?"

"This is my obsession. Moreover, I have made up my mind... scientific research is my favorite career. Regardless of whether I can meet Xiao Que or not, I will dedicate my life to this career until I grow old."

……

"Brother, brother!"

"What's wrong, Zel?"

"I finally know why Mom and Dad were burned to death. Decades ago, Olivers must have leaked the news to the gods, causing the research Mom and Dad were discovered. That's why Mom and Dad were dragged out and burned to death by the believers... Look, these are the evidence..."

“Ha, hahaha, hahaha…”

"Brother, why are you laughing..."

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is!! Olivers! Haha, hahahaha! The childhood friend I've been chasing all my life turned out to be the culprit who killed my parents! Yes! Back then, only Olivers turned into a little magpie and walked into my parents' laboratory with me. He saw that it was an experiment forbidden by the goddess! Only him! Only him!"

"Brother... I don't have a father or a mother to love me anymore. Will my brother love me?"

"Zel, you are my only family, of course I will always take care of you... I have been taking over the experiment that my parents did. Now that the goddess no longer prohibits this experiment, I will definitely complete the project of 'Breath-making of the Dramatic Memory Lens (Artificial Rin)'!"

……

"Congratulations, Ran!"

"Congratulations, Ran. After working hard for half a lifetime, you have finally solved this world's difficult problem!"

"Artificial Rin! What an amazing achievement! Although it is only a concept on paper for now, it is only a matter of time before it is actually created!"

"The greatest honor for scientific researchers, the Viridodo Research Award, undoubtedly belongs to Professor Ran Bo! Professor Ran Bo, we will still rely on you in the future!"

"Professor Ran Bo, I toast to you!"

"Professor Ran Bo, more than 70 companies have sent us applications for investment..."

"Professor Ran Bo, Queen Esdani and other important figures will attend the award ceremony. You have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!"

With his face flushed from drinking, the middle-aged Ran Bo fell drunkenly on the bed, staring at the incandescent light on the ceiling.

...Oliviers, little magpie.

I finally stood on top of the world.

I took care of you when you were injured, waited for you to transform from a magpie into a human, and watched you go away. Now, you should see me...

Why did you kill my parents? When I see you, I will definitely ask you clearly...

Ran Bo fell into a deep sleep with a satisfied smile.

……

"Professor Ran Bo! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the car going to the awards ceremony? It doesn't matter, I've already changed into my dress, I'm not in a hurry."

"No! That's not it! Professor, the answer we just came up with yesterday included a formula that was changed by Olivers! Now the answer can no longer be proven, and everything has to be overturned and started over again! You... don't have to go to the award ceremony..."

"What... this... no... no!!! No!!!"

……

"Professor Ran Bo, more than 70 companies have withdrawn their investments!"

"Professor Ran Bo, the Viridito Research Award was awarded to someone else..."

"Old Ran... I know what happened. You have to accept the reality. This is indeed the era of creators. We researchers are like the old waves that were beaten to death on the beach. If someone makes a small change, our lifelong research will suddenly be worthless..."

"Individual efforts cannot compete with the general trend of the times. Once the tide of the times passes, academic qualifications will depreciate, the economy will go into recession, and even the most outstanding people will lose all their value..."

……

"I don't accept it. I'm going to take thousands of pieces of waste scientific research papers to the World Tree to question Olivers! Why?"

"Hey, Old Ran, don't be impulsive! Olivers is the son of the times, the darling of the world, and a genius blessed by the aura. How can you compete with the [protagonist] of the times?"

"I'm already over 40 years old and have devoted most of my life to this subject. My body is overdrawn and I won't live for many more years! But Oliver is living a long life and enjoying eternal happiness! I must, must have an answer, even if I die in front of him!"

……

"Have you heard? A researcher whose results were tampered by Oliver is going to question Oliver!"

"No, no, there is a researcher who is dissatisfied with Olivers and wants to question Olivers!"

"No, no, there is an extreme anti-Olivier who wants to retaliate and even assassinate Oliver!"

"He dared to question Olivers! He is against the World Tree! Let's go after him! Hang him! Gua Tiao! Open the box!"

"This Ran Bo, he's still not married at this age, could he be having an affair with a female student in private?"

"I heard that he secretly appropriated other people's research results. Shh... internal information, don't spread it outside."

"I am this person's student. He likes to flatter and has no interest in scientific research. The experimental results were all produced by his graduate students. The information is authentic, trust me.

……

“Ha…hahahaha…ahhahahahaha…!!”

“Hahahaha, hahahaha…!!”

……

"Since Olives is to shine in this world, why should I, Ranbo, be born in this world!?"

……

Ran Bo did not see Si Que.

Oliver's supporters "worked together" to hold him back.

Carrying a lot of insults, Ran Bo stood tiredly outside the Creation Banquet, and suddenly saw - a person was also driven out.

The man was similar to him, a somewhat sloppy and depressed middle-aged man, with a face full of the pain of being rejected by the times.

Ran Bo walked over and sat down with the man.

"What's your name?"

"Ran Bo. What about you?"

"Lin Hejin."

After a brief conversation, they learned about each other's situation.

It turns out that Lin Hejin is an unknown creator who survives on meager royalties. He was thrown out by security because he wanted to point out the mistakes in Olivers' "Goddess of Life Lotasha".

"...So you are the same, an unknown little person in this great era." Ran Bo lowered his head.

"we are the same……"

He leaned over and smiled bitterly and desperately:

"I'm not favored by this world..."

……

Oliver's story is so legendary.

But what does all this have to do with little people like them?
The tide of the times is too terrible.

It’s so scary…

……

Ran Bo thought he would spend the rest of his days in a daze.

Unexpectedly, during his wandering, he met a man named "Su Wenjun".

The man was covered in filth, but he was still alive. After learning about Ran Bo's situation, Su Wenjun taught Ran Bo the method of soul copying.

"This method can help you retain some of your memories during the reset." Su Wenjun said calmly, "You and I were both killed by Olivers. I pity you, so I teach you this method."

"Thank you. But who are you?" Ran Bo asked.

"Me? I'm just a ghost that was thrown off the sacred mountain, a wandering avenger, a waste." Su Wenjun said coldly: "Even if I am as weak as a blade of grass now, I must become the one who rules over Luowasha! Complete my revenge on Oliver, who threw me off the sacred mountain back then!"

After that, Ran Bo learned to retain his memory.

……

Ran Bo ended his reminiscence, looked up and gazed at the scorching red sun.

The cheers of the Experimental City had nothing to do with him.

He remembered that in the countless resets, he had been frustrated and miserable in the Fourth Era, and rushed to the Selection Meeting of the Goddess of Life in the Land of the Dead to question Olives. He also lent a hand in the Second Era and saved Olives who was almost killed by his brother from the Rin Clan.

But so what?

Who can redeem the suffering of little people like them?

……

[Just now, the man in the white coat suddenly rushed up and looked at Si Que with a cold face.]

[“——Si Que. Please give me an explanation about what happened in the past.” The man in the white coat said coldly.]

……

[“…hide inside.” Ran Bo pushed up his glasses: “Follow me, this room won’t last long.”]

[He pressed the wall, and an underground escape passage appeared on the ground.]

[“You were so cold and sarcastic just now, but you still came to save the Snail Girl?” Su Mingan deliberately spoke in this tone, as if this would make him more favorable.]

……

"Tap, tap, tap."

At this time, footsteps came from behind.

Ran Bo smelled a scent... It was a scent that was a combination of wisteria and black tea, it was the scent of Olivers.

"Is it Olivers...?" Ran Bo didn't turn around.

The man stopped behind him.

"You are an important person. It was a complete accident that you fell into my courtyard. We should have just met by chance." Ran Bo murmured:

"But why did you betray my parents to the goddess and let them burn to death? Then, you tampered with the rules of science and made my life's hard work go to waste."

"Why? Xiao Que, how have I ever let you down?"

"You are the darling of heaven, and I am the struggling mud. With just one stroke of your hand, I lost everything."

"Why...why did you erase my research? Why didn't you leave me even a little bit...why did you take away...Dad, Mom, Xiao Que..."

Ran Bo's emotions were on the verge of collapse.

Su Mingan behind him remained silent.
