I, Little Griseo, Touring All Worlds

She simply stood at the very front with her arms folded across her chest.

Watching everyone.

Her imposing presence emerged.

"Chen Xue..."

For a moment.

The entire Data Research Institute fell silent.

Everyone looked toward Chen Xue in unison, as though they had found the backbone they could rely on, yet they still seemed somewhat lost.

How laughable!

They were all supposed to be humanity's elites—the elites of Ouxia.

Yet when it truly came down to a moment like this... they could not even keep calm.

How could they still have the nerve to boast about being elites?

"Since the enemy has already challenged us, is it appropriate for us to lose our heads?"

"We bear the responsibility of maintaining Ouxia's stability. We also bear the responsibility of pioneering and pursuing, exploring every root substance from the past, as well as countless other important fields of study."

"If even we collapse... then what about Ouxia?"

"What about the other citizens?"

"What about them?"

"What... are they supposed to do? Have you ever thought about that?"

"Who else can they rely on?"

"..."

Chen Xue's words rang out with force, striking the ground like ironclad declarations. They sounded like questions directed at her own conscience, rousing every single person.

That was right!

Anyone could give up. They alone could not.

They were researchers.

They were the people responsible for tracing the past, creating the future, continually advancing technology, and building Ouxia.

Building Ouxia, managing Ouxia...

If even they gave up,

who could Ouxia rely on?

Who could the citizens still trust?

"Mhm~ That's right~"

"Only by refusing to give up... can you see hope!"

"..."

Suddenly.

Right at that moment!

A sweet voice with an adorable lilt, familiar yet somehow slightly different, unexpectedly rang out.

It instantly drew everyone's attention.
