Where is the third collapse? ! !

Because of this, on this single-plank bridge of becoming stronger, all those who don’t want to die, don’t want to be caught up by those who come later, and don’t want to be left behind can only roll, roll desperately, and roll extremely tragically.

If you don't learn, you give up, and your sword becomes rusty, someone who is more ambitious than you will be able to kill you and take away everything from you and make it their own. So just tell me whether you want to learn or not.

"You said that I, in my Shiranui form, could challenge opponents of higher levels than me. But how could it be possible that those who were involved in the fight with higher levels than me didn't have skills, weapons, and armor of the same caliber?"

Fu Li shook his head slightly. "Everyone's seeking a sense of security. If you fail the college entrance exam, you can always try again. Those with less ambitious goals can be transferred to technical colleges to muddle through. Anyway, as long as you're willing to endure hardships, you won't starve to death in modern Chinese society, no matter what happens."

We only have one life, and once it's gone, it's really gone.

"The reason why the Honkai-style is so popular is because of this. They're constantly on edge preparing for the college entrance exams, so it would be abnormal if it didn't drive some of them crazy."

At the end, he even made a harmless joke: "I remember they gave me a certificate when I went to evaluate the spirit last time, but I didn't read the content and just tore it up."

Fu Li was laughing, but Prometheus, who was worried about his host's mental state, couldn't laugh.

A huge maze seemed to appear before her eyes. In the maze, a group of people were running forward desperately, and chasing them relentlessly was a rolling stone big enough to crush everyone.

The galloping stones would occasionally crush some slow runners, while at the same time many people would come out from other corners of the maze and join the running team.

Everyone is competing, and the internal competition itself no longer has any meaning; but if someone chooses not to compete, he will definitely be crushed out in the first place.

The girl shared her thoughts with her host. Fu Li pondered for a moment and replied, "That's not wrong, but you should also add an exit at the end of the maze. One that allows one to escape the maze and gain the power to control their own destiny. It's called an S-level exit."

S-rank?!

The little AI trembled inwardly, and after coming to its senses, it was about to question the host in detail.

There was a noise not far away.

The human and AI, whose communication was interrupted, raised their heads and looked over there with a very high degree of synchronization.

A hooded man holding a rectangular storage box was slowly walking towards the two of them.

Chapter 12 "Famous Sword: Mikazuki Munechika"

"Seeing the hooded man approaching, Fu Li immediately stood up to greet him."

"His eyes quickly fell on the object in the other person's hand. His originally calm gaze revealed a strange excitement, as if he had encountered a plump married woman on the train on his way to work, and the fullness that was about to burst out revealed an impatient greed."

"Hey! Can you please stop describing it like that?!"

The innocent victims who had been standing there loudly denounced the slander of the scumbag AI.

"Prometheus was merely describing the host's reaction upon seeing the other. Why did the host react so strongly?" The little AI leered at him, twitching its lips maliciously. "Could it be... a guilty conscience?"

"I don't feel guilty at all! You slandered me like this just for standing up to greet me. I can't even imagine what's going to happen next!" Fu Li resisted the urge to roll his eyes in front of the hooded man. "And where on earth did you get all this nonsense from? I didn't even ask you to scan my memory!"

"The host just took a train, and there were many people under observation in the carriage."

The little guy fully demonstrated through his actions that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

While the resentful host and his crappy AI were brain-communicating, the hooded man slowly walked up to them.

He looked at the moody Fu Li suspiciously, thought for a moment, and took a big step back without leaving a trace.

"It's all your fault! Now people think I'm a psychopath!"

In response to the complaint of a certified mental patient, the little AI replied solemnly: "In fact, Prometheus is just a product of the host's schizophrenia. The host has not awakened any terminal assistant system at all."

"Then why don't you just say that everything you see is just a hallucination before I die, and my real body is lying in a hospital bed receiving hospice care?"

Fu Li decided not to pay any more attention to this babbling idiot and instead looked at the storage box held by the hooded man: "Is everything here?"

The other party nodded silently, stretched out his hand, and opened the cover:

The famous Mikazuki Munechika sword is the last protective sword of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the 13th Shogun of the Muromachi shogunate in the Far East. It has a curved blade with a length of 80cm. It is frosty, simple, slender and sharp, like flowing moonlight. Even after hundreds of years, it can still cut iron like mud and cut gold and jade.

All of the above are the descriptions on the label next to the sword.

I can only say that people in the Far East are also quite capable, and when they praise their own products, they really praise them to death.

Prometheus realized something was amiss from the label. She bit her lip and asked tentatively, "Host, this knife... was it taken directly from the Far East Museum by the Foundation?"

The forging process of the tachi is that the blacksmith first forges the blade and the stem that is integrated with it, and then installs the hilt consisting of the handle, hilt, scabbard and other parts.

This structure allows people to simply remove the wooden blade and the metal blade can be preserved for a long time without being corroded.

In other words, knives that have their blades removed to prevent corrosion are basically antiques.

Combined with the label next to it and the fact that Mikazuki Munechika, who is actually one of the Five Swords of the World, has been kept in the Far Eastern National Museum, it is hard not to think of strange aspects.

"Stolen from a museum? Probably."

Fu Li fiddled with the sword in its invincible state like an old man or woman selecting fruits and vegetables at the market, and said as he looked at it:

"Don't be too surprised. The Future Fund is one of the top mid-sized organizations, after all. The Far East after World War II was known as a sieve. With the establishment of a branch of the Anti-Entropy branch and the stationing of troops there, what can they do to the Five Swords of the World?"

He picked up the label and looked at it again and again: "I can only say that they deserve it. They are good people who have to be treated like animals."

As expected, the back of the tag contained a note from the hooded figure in scribbled Chinese characters:

This sword has the skill Five Swords of the World, which can greatly increase physical attack power by consuming weapon durability.

At the same time, in the hands of those with strong spirits, Mikazuki Munechika will also produce a terrifying and coercive effect, which can harm intangible creatures such as spirits and elemental life to a certain extent.

It is also worth noting that although the hardness and sharpness of the weapon itself are enough to easily cut off a person's limbs and behead him, due to the extremely light weight and thin forging characteristics of the katana, it is difficult to break through thick and hard materials when chopping.

Prometheus simply summarized it: "Special attack against creatures, mental suppression, and scraping against machines."

She seemed to naturally identify Fu Li as a person with strong mental strength who met the conditions for triggering the Three-Day Moon.

"To defeat that giant fox, Jizo Mihun, we need this special attack against creatures."

After briefly checking the knife, Fu Li looked at the jade that was quietly lying in another groove of the storage box.

Perhaps worried that he didn't know how to use it, the hooded figure carefully explained, "Hold it in your hand and crush it."

Just like the skills obtained through the lottery of the Terminal Assistant System, the skills sealed in the jade do not require extra time to learn.

‘Click! ’

Fu Li crushed the jade on the spot and quickly reviewed the extra memories in his mind. After confirming that they were correct, he put the Crescent Moon into the Galaxy Bat with a scabbard function and turned to walk out of the locomotive.

The hooded man silently watched his back until he disappeared out the door.

There was no unnecessary communication between the two parties throughout the process. Is this what you call professional?

"Oh, right." Fu Li poked his head out of the car window, remembering something. "I hope we can have more teammates this time."

Unexpectedly, the hooded man, who had always been very calm, seemed to be completely defeated when he heard these words.

She coughed hard, and the corners of her delicate mouth hidden under her hood couldn't help but reveal a hint of unspeakable bitterness:

"I accept your good words."

......

Leaving Ruyue Station was no longer as troublesome as coming here. It was just a simple matter of changing three trains, and the afternoon sun was shining on Fu Li's shoulders.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

He touched his stomach in the crowd and conscientiously did not go to a buffet restaurant to bully ordinary people. Instead, he found a Chinese restaurant nearby.

After ordering the generous and cheapest Yangzhou fried rice at the counter, Prometheus asked curiously, "What did you mean by that sentence before leaving the station?"

"Literally, it means that by the end of the three-year period, I hope that among the twenty-one people who made wishes, there will be more teammates to carry out confidential missions for the Future Fund."

After finding a seat and sitting down, Fu Li thought for a moment and stopped wiping the table with a napkin in surprise.

"Prometheus, you don't really think those twenty-one guys who first took on the loan and then the debt will be able to live peacefully until the mission begins, do you?"

Chapter 13 "Fu Li's Little Aunt"

"...Prometheus, you don't really think that those twenty-one guys who first took on the loan and then the debt will be able to live peacefully until the mission begins, do you?"

Huh? Isn't it?

The little AI wanted to answer like this, but when he saw Fu Li's face full of disbelief, he became furious.

She huffed, "Of course not!"

"That's right."

"Thank you~"

Taking the obviously extra fried rice from the waiter, Fu Li said to himself while showing off:

"According to intelligence traders, under normal circumstances, only one in ten people could survive three years on the Honkai side alone, without clinging to other factions. Those who found the Foundation branch are mostly geniuses, and geniuses love to fish for chestnuts from fire, seeking wealth and glory amidst danger."

The little girl silently said the second half of the proverb: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, but they are also lost in danger. If you seek them, you will succeed one out of ten, but you will lose them nine out of ten."

"Look, the probability is stacked."

'Snapped! '

Fu Li put down the empty plate and said, "Boss! Another one! In a basin this time!"

After ordering another serving of fried rice, he said with certainty, "For twenty-one people, if there are five or six left, that's already pretty good."

No wonder when the host mentioned this, that person instantly put on a miserable look like Ze Liansao.

Prometheus thought thoughtfully.

If they still work tirelessly on "losing business" under such circumstances, the Future Fund must either be stupid and have a lot of money, or simply have too high expectations.

"Buzz!"

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Fu Li, who was eating as if he was seeking revenge, glanced at the lit screen of his mobile phone and ignored it.

The little AI came back to its senses and suggested warmly: "Host, don't you want to take a look?"

"I know what that is. I'll get it after I finish my meal." The reborn person replied.

Prometheus nodded and sat beside him to finish the delayed lunch with him.

Fu Li has always been very puzzled. Logically speaking, Prometheus should be projected directly onto her retina, rather than materializing in the real world. Then what is the meaning of her floating around like this?

But every time he saw the little girl's cute face that pretended to be expressionless but with a hint of anticipation, he felt that it would be better not to ask such an idiotic question that would definitely make him lose favor.

Although the face is still covered with mosaics, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, not the busy meal time, so the store owner didn't say much to Fu Li who stayed for a while after dinner.

After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Fu Li, who was full and satisfied, took out his phone and opened the VX group [The Old Fu Family is Happy Forever] that he had just @ed.

The general meaning of the group chat was that an elder of a very high generation in the family was coming to Changkong City to watch a tour concert by world-class star Eden, and then someone happened to remember that Fu Li was in the Far East, so they asked him if he could help take care of him.

"The little aunt is coming after all."

Even though he already knew the cause and process of the incident, Fu Li was still speechless after reading the chat records.

Prometheus raised his little face and said, "I remember the host said that his relationship with his family was not good."

"It's not that our relationship is bad, it's more like they just treat me like I don't exist... The only exception is that little girl, which is why they're targeting me."

Fu Li held his forehead with his hand. "It's not like we're that familiar with each other. In fact, I've only seen selfies of her checking in at various popular online spots on WeChat Moments. We've never officially met in person."

"It's mainly about that guy—um, here." He raised his hand and pointed at his head. "She has a little problem here. She's like a super central air conditioner that's very friendly to everyone. Even someone like me can hardly escape her radiation range."

Prometheus was impressed: "He sounds like a very kind elder."

Fu Li: "Elders are indeed elders, but they are only older in generation. Their actual age is the same as mine."

The little AI was speechless: "Sixteen years old too? A sixteen-year-old aunt?"

In China, "auntie" is the name given to the daughter of the great-grandfather, that is, the sisters of the grandfather's generation.

"Otherwise, why would I call her 'little aunt'?" Fu Li lazily rested his chin on his hand, and with his other hand, he pushed his phone, which was browsing his social media feed, towards Prometheus. "Look, this guy is just posting selfies again out of boredom."

The girl came closer with great interest, and her eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole.

The picture shows a pink-haired girl dressed very fashionably.

She sat by the window in the milk tea shop, a smug smile on her pretty face, her beautiful orchid eyes dotted with pink stars sparkled, and her fair face was covered with a layer of veil-like orange against the background light, making people want to indulge in it.

The girl's top was very loose, and her smooth milky white shoulders showed through the collar. She playfully stuck out her tongue at the camera and closed one eye, her long eyelashes being very noticeable.

At the same time, he also made a "yeah" gesture. For a moment, the youthfulness and liveliness unique to this age group came to life, and one could even taste some of the child's innocence and cuteness.

"like......"

Prometheus subconsciously wanted to spit out a name, but he clenched his teeth and swallowed the remaining characters back.
