Divine Flame Crystal
Chapter 37: Starfall's Confused Thoughts
Xingluo and Mo were very close to the dormitory, but it took Xingluo a long time to get there. On the way back, they encountered various forces from the Luoshen City. Due to their excellent performance and great talent, the major forces promised them various benefits. As long as they could join these forces, they would have a large number of magic cores and magic equipment. Obviously, their performance won the attention of the major forces.
Xingluo looked at Mo curiously and found that the other party didn't seem to care at all. He just kept walking forward with his head down, and seemed to be walking faster and faster. However, Xingluo was blocked by the various means of recruiting.
Obviously Xingluo was a little curious about what benefits these forces would promise to him and what he would get by joining them.
"Join our Cape of the Sea faction. We can give you one high-level magic core every month, and you can browse all the magic books at will..."
"You should join our Ocean King's sphere of influence. We will give you two magic cores each month. If you can sign a contract for more than 2 years, we can give you one more."
...
Xingluo was quickly overwhelmed by the promised benefits and felt a little dizzy. It was the first time since he was a child that he felt this way. He was like the moon surrounded by stars, and his thoughts were drowned in these compliments. Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Xingluo is no exception.
"It seems like something is missing. Although these families have promised a lot of benefits, there is still a certain gap compared to top forces like Pandora." Xingluo thought of this and shook his head slightly. "If you want to join a force, you should join a top force."
It’s just that Xingluo seems to prefer freedom, or he doesn’t want to be constrained by other forces. He is naturally not used to others asking him to do this or that, because he has had enough of that before. What’s the difference between that kind of life and being a salted fish.
The memories of Xingluo drifted into the past like smoke along with his thoughts. In the previous world, people over 35 faced the fate of being optimized out. The boss would make you work harder and harder, using one person as three people, and even thinking of taking up your rest time to work for him, and all your efforts only made the boss richer.
But when you reach the age of 35, you lose the courage to say no. In the past, you could turn down any job you could, or even just quit if you didn't want to do it. But when you reach the age of 35, you are faced with the pressure of getting married and raising children, and some even have to take care of elderly parents. It is difficult for you to say no so straightforwardly. Most of the time you can only endure it silently, dragging the burden of the family forward, overwhelmed.
And you are no longer as full of energy as when you first started working. You used to stay up late to work overtime, and you would be full of energy after a good night's sleep. But now you can't do that. You can't compare with those young guys. You can only rely on experience to survive in the company, carefully figuring out your boss's thoughts.
Xingluo's thoughts drifted to who knows where. This was his situation before. If it weren't for the car accident, he would have been like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to escape, sinking deeper and deeper.
But now he has embarked on a completely opposite path from his previous life. He has learned the magic that he had fantasized about possessing since junior high school. Perhaps it is because he has been fantasizing about having magic one day since he was very young. He has been immersed in the magic in his imagination day after day, and has been constantly practicing. His understanding of magic has come into play in this life. He can control magic more easily than others, and he can do it as easily as with his own arms. Now he has even reached the subtle level.
"This is an ability that many high-level magicians don't have. Is it my previous fantasy that worked?" Xingluo fell into deep thought. Although the car accident made him leave the earth and come to this alien continent, he always thought that if he could go back and see himself now, his parents would be very happy. He didn't go with the flow like in his previous life, going to the school arranged by his parents, doing the homework assigned by the teacher every day, and completing the tasks assigned by the boss after work. Day after day, year after year, because of the few thousand dollars, he had to do many things against his will and forgot his childhood dream. He was really fed up with such boring days.
From then on, he fell in love with novels, a medium that could take him away from the real world. He could forget his boring life for a short while and come to various worlds he liked. He imagined himself as the protagonist of every book. With the protagonist's halo, he could experience the world of swords and magic in other worlds over and over again, giving his long-withered spirit a brief rest.
He remembered that night and a speeding car. It was the day he was scolded by his boss again because he was too tired and made a small mistake at work. When young people make mistakes, their boss would only say a few words of comfort and meaningless remarks.
But he was different. It was because he was old that he could not afford to make mistakes. Any mistake would result in him being criticized for a long time. He was a little confused at this time. He was walking alone on the crosswalk, but the traffic lights had already flashed a dazzling red light. Listening to the anxious shouts of people next to him, the shrill horns and sharp brake sounds of cars, he was stunned. He just watched as the car hit his body.
He only felt a sharp pain, followed by darkness, endless darkness, like a demon that kept devouring him. After an unknown amount of time, he saw a beautiful woman with two clear lines of tears on her face. Then he entered the body of a baby, and his previous consciousness seemed to have withered.
He took over the body without any hindrance. He didn't know how the baby died, but since he took over the mother's child, he had to find out everything and live a more exciting life than in his previous life.
He waved his hand. The beautiful woman was stunned at first, then she smiled a beautiful smile that he would never forget. This picture was deeply imprinted in his mind, encouraging him to move forward during countless dark years.
His thoughts were pulled back again. Looking at the people around him inviting him to join their forces, he suddenly felt a little annoyed. He trotted two steps and caught up with Mo in front of him. As if sensing that Xingluo was in a low mood, Mo took the initiative to put his hand on his shoulder, but didn't say anything.
Conversations between men always go straight to the point, and there is rarely any nagging consolation. What they do is always more than what they say. Xingluo knows that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, especially now that he has no power, but there is someone who cares about him around him. This time he wants to protect those who care about him, so he needs strength, stronger strength than he has now, and he also needs helpers to help him protect those he can't take care of.
