Free Web NovelChapter 1557: Chapter 1569: The So-Called Joy of Helping Others
Su Li took out the Light Computer given to her by Grandma Zhang. Ever since she got it, this was the first time she used it.
Although it was her first time using it, her operation was seamless. The interstellar background era she had gone through in the illusion was not two but at least three.
In the same era of advanced technology, some things are universal.
The first time the Light Computer logs in, it scans personal information and determines spiritual power.
Citizens with spiritual power below level e cannot log into the Star Network as it would cause direct death of the human brain.
Although e-level spiritual power users are rare, they are not non-existent.
Let’s get back to Su Li.
After she logged in, a starlight flashed, and the next second she found herself in a pitch-black chaos.
Su Li’s mind was shaken, her heartstrings vibrating fiercely.
The scene before her was extremely similar to the chaotic space she once inhabited in the illusion, momentarily giving her the illusion of returning to the Chaotic Space.
This shock lasted only a few seconds for Su Li. A bright light split the chaos, and a clear and enchanting female voice emerged in the space.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Welcome to the Star Network, now proceeding with personal information verification scan."
"Scan successful, Shuimu Star’s third-level citizen Su Li, spiritual power level: ???, physical level: ???, conceal login: Yes/No."
Su Li had never tested her spiritual power or physical constitution, and she was curious why the Star Network couldn’t scan her level.
The doubt quickly disappeared, and she subconsciously chose: Yes, when asked whether to conceal her login.
The Star Network login process seemed long, but in reality, it finished in just a moment within the Conscious Sea.
Su Li’s vision went black, and when she reopened her eyes, she was already on a spacious plaza.
As she emerged from the light pillar, Qin Ran quickly grabbed her and pulled her in one direction, giving her only a brief moment to glance around.
The surroundings were bustling with people, and in the southeast, northwest, and four directions of the plaza, light pillars were distributed, with people continuously emerging from within them, presumably all citizens logging into the Star Network.
Surrounding the plaza, just like a lively commercial street in reality, stood various specialty shops.
At the center of the plaza, a huge screen towering into the sky poured down, continuously flashing various news across the interstellar. From planetary political affairs to rumor and gossip.
With a quick glance, Su Li withdrew her gaze and followed Qin Ran’s footsteps running forward.
Crossing through a gate, the bustling commercial street with its lively atmosphere was left behind, revealing yet another different world.
Like the Roman arenas, ring-shaped coliseums were in full swing, with people inside looking excited and frenzied.
Two Mechas clashed in the coliseum, igniting intense sparks, drawing loud cheers from the audience below.
Yet amid these mainstream Mecha fights, a small martial arts arena seemed especially inconspicuous.
Like a dwarf among giants, the martial arts arena, a mere few hundred square meters standing in the massive megasquare Mecha coliseum, looked especially shabby.
Usually, it was quiet and deserted here, but today due to a martial fight, it gained a few moments of liveliness.
A tall, thin man was being stamped firmly into the ground by a foot, his face pressed against the rough floor, pinned down like a pancake making zero contact with the surface.
"Hahaha, look at him, how ridiculous he is, just like a Pollution-eating Beast from the sewers."
Speaking, Lan Ze laughed loudly, exerting force with his foot, making the man below him spit blood, "I’m telling you, can you trash even think you can be heroes saving beauties? Just ask yourselves, are you worthy...."
Being so blatantly humiliated, Jingang wanted to break free from the opponent’s restraint, but no matter how hard he tried, the foot on his back did not budge, as if it was a heavy mountain. This is the natural limitation brought by high-level spiritual power users.
The opponent’s attacking methods were immature and chaotic, far inferior to those who had been fighting in chaotic streets since childhood. Yet he could see all the flaws in the opponent’s moves but was still unable to resist but was pressed by the opponent.
Jingang felt heartache and discomfort, as anger surged in his heart, a metallic taste rose in his throat.
Not only was he resentful, but Ming Lan, who was also severely injured, felt equally uncomfortable.
Her fiery eyes burned with malicious anger, but in the eyes of some, it was only pitiful and laughable.
Lan Ze was such a person, his disdainful gaze swept over everyone present, "Do you even know yourselves about how capable you are?"
"Just two b-level spiritual ability users thinking they’re the authority. Has anyone told you meddling truly gets you killed."
Of course, citizens do not truly die on the Star Network. Once spiritual power approaches collapse, the main brain determines the situation as a dangerous level, automatically kicking one offline.
But significant damage to spiritual power on the Star Network will feedback to the physical body offline, making one feel equally uncomfortable.
Gangzi, being supported by someone, sobbed and pleaded, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have...." endure such enormous humiliation.
Gangzi cried uncontrollably, eyes hopefully looking at a slender girl not far from him, "Xiao Hua, tell them we’re in a relationship, it’s not that I molested you. We just argued a few words."
The girl called Xiao Hua turned pale, retreating a few steps back, in the eyes of some she seemed scared by the rascal pestering her.
Lan Ze furiously kicked Jingang, "You scum, still daring to threaten a girl?"
"Trash like you, what girl would fancy you, truly laughable...."
At these words, Xiao Hua, who was initially somewhat swayed, clung tightly to her lips, nearly wobbling.
Gangzi instantly lost all spirit, feeling desperate and helpless.
Xiao Hua never wished for anyone to know she was associating with a small hoodlum from a refuge camp, and being spoken of in such a manner, she even less wished to explain.
He fantasized, thinking they grew up together, others misunderstood him, but she never would.
Gangzi lost and adrift, feeling guilty and regretful for bringing unwarranted disaster to so many people in the academy.
Xiao Hua awkwardly moved her lips a few times, impulsively wishing to explain but failing amidst the proud and disdainful gazes around.
She was afraid her voice would be deemed as trash too. Like attracts like, after all.
Moreover, the man standing up for her was very handsome, from the Mechanical Academy on A4 Planet, an A-level spiritual ability user. Subconsciously, she didn’t wish to lose face in front of such an excellent man.
And since he was standing up for her. Xiao Hua blushed, lowering her head, thinking privately: it’s just a minor embarrassment, such bad reputations have already been borne by Yunzhou students before, another one really doesn’t matter much. After this is over, she’ll comfort Gangzi properly.
