Chapter 132: Spaceship on the Rooftop

Chapter 132: Spaceship on the Rooftop

(You look behind you, the tidal waves of the void are blocked by the cabin door, unable to harm you.)

(You explore inside the cabin.)

(You arrive at the cockpit, where various complex devices are before you. You can't discern their functions, but the labels on the buttons are written in the script of the Traveller Star People.)

(On the pilot's seat lie two sets of bones, closely resembling human skeletons.)

(You continue exploring the cabin.)

(Inside a cabinet in the rest area, you find a bottle of wine.)

(Clearly, this wine might be the tool used to bypass the security in Section B.)

(You ponder for a moment.)

(According to the records in "Encyclopedia of All Realms", the Traveller Star People possess the universe's unparalleled ability to escape danger. So, why did the two pilots end up trapped and perished inside this dungeon of the Weird World?)

(Are the two Traveller Star People in the dungeon — the coach and the librarian — original Traveller Star people, or mere reflections?)

(How much of the records within this dungeon about the realms and the Weird World can be trusted?)

(Why does this dungeon specifically introduce a race with such an overpowered escape ability?)

(The history books of the Ascenders mentioned that the "Mastermind" repeatedly gives humans hope, only to relentlessly crush it. Could the depiction of the Traveller Star People be another fleeting "glimmer of hope" revealed by the Weird World?)

(You lie on the floor, your mind is a jumbled mess.)

(After resting for a while, your emotions gradually stabilize.)

(You take out a pen and paper, and just like before, you start jotting down all the clues you've gathered.)

(1. The library is like a vast historical museum. Most of its historical books record civilizations that went extinct due to the resurgence of the Weird World.)

(2. The Ascenders are the race that battled the Weird World for the longest time.)

(3. The Traveller Star People are the only race that can escape the pursuit of the Weird World.)

(4. What message does the handwritten philosopher's prose want to convey? And who wrote it?)

(5. Is the information provided in clues 1-3 a smokescreen thrown by the dungeon world or trustworthy facts?)

(You lie on the floor, thinking of Toto from the Chongshan Hospital.)

(Using the weird powers of the dungeon, she left a backdoor in it, leveraging the power of "Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds have consequences," to assist adventurers in successfully clearing the stage.)

(Could the handwritten note follow the same logic as Toto's blood-written messages?)

Tomorrow would be the fourth day of the exams, and he still hadn't found any clues to end the dungeon early.

This meant he would inevitably have to make the most brutal decision.

.........

"Hmm..."

Chen Zeyu opened his eyes groggily. He looked over and was surprised to see Gu Yi awake before him.

"Is there something special today? Why are you up so early?"

"It's not that I got up early. I hardly slept last night."

"What happened?"

"Isn't today the day we have to give up someone most important to us?"

"Yes."

Chen Zeyu nodded and hopped out of bed.

"Aren't you upset at all?"

"You were bound to face this day eventually." Chen Zeyu replied, dressing as he spoke, "Before my parents sent me to this school, they knew I might have to give them up. They were mentally prepared before sending me here."

"Why send you here even knowing that?"

"It's a price to pay, a necessary sacrifice. There's no gain without sacrifice."

Gu Yi remained silent.

Chen Zeyu turned to face Gu Yi, chuckling, "I thought you were a top student. I assumed you wouldn't care about such things. Why lose sleep over such a trivial matter?"

"Don't you feel sad? It's already quite unpleasant to give up cherished items, but to abandon significant people..."

"That's precisely why I won't forfeit this exam opportunity and the chance to stand out. Let me be candid. The three significant people I chose are my parents and my grandmother.

The first I'd give up would definitely be my grandmother. She's quite old, with numerous health issues. Remaining in this world only brings her more pain. Sacrificing her life to further my aspirations is a worthwhile trade.

The second to go would undoubtedly be my mother. Despite being relatively young, she has almost no ability to earn and support the family. If any danger arose at home, she wouldn't be much help, so she's my second choice.

The last one would naturally be my father. He's in his prime, and although he might not contribute much to society, he's the backbone of our family. Thus, I can only give him up last. However, his sacrifice won't be in vain. I'll successfully graduate from Wapeng High School and take over his job.

This is how a true Wapeng person should think. Do you understand now?

The order in which we choose to abandon people is also part of the final exam. Please, stop being so naive."
