Chapter 78

The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains. Vienna and Los Angeles in North America are about nine hours apart, and little Anna, unusually, slept until nine o'clock today!

She sat in the center of the soft, large bed, her long, smooth hair slightly messy, her pinkish-purple eyes half-closed, lost in thought for several minutes before she seemed to finally start thinking.

A moment later, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, habitually picked up her phone, and went to the living room barefoot.

The mother was sitting elegantly on the sofa, flipping through a magazine. Hearing the sound, she looked up and her gaze fell on her daughter. Her eyes held a mixture of helplessness and amusement.

However, the father sitting on the other side had a rather unfriendly expression; he had never seen his daughter so unladylike at home.

"At home, you should dress up a bit. You're a grown woman now. What if your blind date laughs at you?"

Anna was reminded by her mother's gentle tone that she had been staying at home for almost a year since she quit her job.

They can't just stay at home all day sponging off their parents and living off rent in the future.

"Anna!"

The mother's voice rose a little.

"Don't worry, I've met that young man before. He's from the Apocalypse Family. His looks and abilities are absolutely impeccable. Go and talk to him; you might just take a liking to him."

"Don't feel guilty, our Schariac Family is no worse than theirs."

Anna didn't reply. She seemed to remember something, found the chat group on her phone, and scrolled up the chat history.

[Future Guardians - Schicksal]

North America 12:13

Kiana: "Help! Seven consecutive losses! Is this Wendy really that strong?"

Kiana: "Is anyone in North America? I need help urgently!"

Sirin: "Where is An Yu?"

North America 12:30

Kiana: "Eight consecutive losses... I refuse to believe it! I'll call Bronya over and give it a try."

Sirin: "Kiana, where's that traitor An Yu?"

North America 12:41

Kiana: "... That damn An Yu! He must have feelings for Bronya, sob sob, and Bronya too, she promised to make me stand out, but she ended up teaming up with An Yu."

A few minutes later, all the news was Kiana complaining that An Yu was ruthless, winning 48 consecutive points and sending Wendy and Elysia home in anger.

And finally, a screenshot of An Yu and Bronya high-fiving, her fingertips slightly apart, zoomed in on the image.

Anna watched, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face, her dimples faintly visible, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.

"Anna!" So

Her father's stern gaze pulled her from her reverie. Anna thought for a moment; she did indeed look... too sloppy.

"I'm going to North America." (Group)

Anna went back inside and closed the door, recalling everything from her dream, then felt she had been too impulsive.

After all, it was just a dream, but it really felt like a long time had passed. The two of them squeezed into that small rented room. An Yu was the first to support the family. She could do what she liked and didn't have to care about her image or other people's opinions.

She had to go and see, right? Yeah, she was just going to take a look. When people asked, she said she was going to see Kiana!

Yes, that's right, she went to find Kiana.

"Anna Shaniat!!! Have you forgotten what happened at noon today?"

What's up?

Anna, after getting dressed and still a little dazed, asked, "What's wrong? I wasn't fully awake."

"Go to the little restaurant next to Rossweisse's flower shop; your blind date for today is there."

The father forcefully suppressed his dissatisfaction and, in an almost declarative tone, told his confused daughter what tasks she had for the day.

"Oh..."

Anna subconsciously pursed her fair fingers, a faint smile returning to her lips. She remembered the scene of running away from the wedding in her dream, but this time, when she called out to An Yu, she couldn't hear the voice saying "I'm here."

"I'm not going!"

She bravely and loudly responded!

"I'm going to North America."

"Stop being playful! You are the eldest daughter of the Schariac Family! You are responsible for what happened today..."

Bang!

Before she could finish speaking, Anna had already picked up her bag, grinned, run to the door, waved goodbye, and then closed the door.

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad~ I'll bring you some local specialties when I come back."

She looks like her dad is really angry, but she's been obedient for over 20 years, so she'll let herself be a little willful now.

Compared to those people over there who sleep until they naturally wake up, here people even get their beauty sleep and sleep until late at night.

Elysia lay limp on the bed. She was awake, no longer sleepy, but just didn't want to move.

Until my phone beeped with a message.

She then remembered that she had applied to return to the team.

Golden Courtyard (13)

1 a. m. in Divine Land

Kevin: "No, man, I woke up in the middle of the night because I was so angry!"

Kevin: "What makes him think he can?!"

Kalpas: "Fool!"

Kevin: "And you, Kalpas, we're on the same side!"

Kalpas: "Ridiculous, I didn't feel like you were all on my side in the dream."

Moreover, even if he were to truly immerse himself in the world of his dream, he had spent six or seven years with those two children, An Yu and Anna.

Elysia: "..."

The group chat suddenly fell silent. After all, everyone knew who An Yu's younger brother was, and things in dreams couldn't withstand close scrutiny. But Elysia seemed to be very possessive.

However, in Anna's language, in a pre-civilization era without surnames, they clearly sounded more like siblings.

Elysia: "What are your thoughts on the fact that Herrscher are now appearing in pairs? Mobius Vill-V @..."

She had just joined the group and didn't have permission to @ everyone, so she patiently clicked on each one. 6※ˉ,"≯∶=∽ [,

Aponia: "Exhausted cat emoji. jpg"

What else is there to say? We've already lost Tianhu Ju again. She trusted the Discipline too much, Kalpas trusted his past friends too much.

Mobius: "I thought something serious had happened; my phone was ringing in the middle of the night."

Mobius: "It's the same thing again, that special gene segment came into play."

Mobius: "Perhaps the vassals in the dream are the true Herrscher. After all, in the beginning, An Yu was just the Finality, and didn't have so many identities."

Elysia: "Then why did it turn out like this?"

Mobius: "Little bear shrugs. jpg"

Mobius: "Pheromone has been proven to exist, and so does the space of consciousness. We are linked together because of that failed destiny, and that's why we have this strange dream."

Mobius: "Why can't you team up with An Yu again? It's a genetic inheritance passed down for countless generations, randomly arranged and combined; who knows what the final result will be?"

Mobius: "Go to sleep, go to sleep. I've put it on Do Not Disturb. Don't fuss over this all day."

That's because you're really dreaming! Elysia was getting a little crazy!

Moreover, in her dreams, she seemed to be gradually losing that omnipotent power.

P. S. When I scheduled this chapter, exactly one week had passed, and I was seventh on the update rankings. Pretty stable, right?

By the way, I'd like to ask for your monthly votes, although I don't really know what they're for.

Volume 1: Chapter 115, Section 114: Elysia - Evolution

When Elysia left, there were already several people sitting in the living room, most of them An Yu's seniors.

"Is Xiaoyu awake?"

"Oh dear, why do you always talk about Xiaoyu? You've finally come all the way to North America, why don't you do something fun for yourself?"

Planck played the violin skillfully, the sound lingering and tender, making Kiana, who was standing beside him, seem thoughtful.

"Mainly... there are some things I don't understand." Yue

Elysia rubbed her temples, looking somewhat troubled. "Xiaoyu is smarter..."

Before she could finish speaking, Elysia suddenly fell silent, as if she had thought of something.

The people in the living room were smiling faintly. Kiana blinked her big eyes, not understanding what everyone was laughing at, but she smiled along.

"Why don't you tell us about some of your problems?" Planck put down his violin, smiled, and rested his cheek on the back of his hand, his fingertips lightly touching his cheek, appearing kind and approachable.

Kiana carefully took the violin from him, intending to try it out secretly.

"There's just one thing I don't understand: efficiency often comes with ruthlessness, but ruthlessness..."

Elysia's expression was very complicated. Perhaps it was because of the recurring dreams, she now found it difficult to even immerse herself in the story from a first-person perspective, always feeling like she was in the player's viewpoint, yet not entirely in the player's time.

Being indecisive and hesitant is really torturing yourself.

"Wolf culture, huh?"

Planck pondered for a moment. As Einstein's teacher and the cousin of the most famous psychologist, she had her own understanding of this.

"So, do you think a world where every effort is rewarded should be ruthless or warm?"

Her smile was gentle.

Without hesitation, Elysia replied, "It must be warm."

Planck pursed his lips. "You're quite the dreamer."

"Not entirely wrong." She smiled faintly, her playfulness fading slightly. "But reality is reality precisely because there are differences between people—talent, opportunity, resources."

"Often, most people's small efforts don't deserve the rewards, and often, most people's large efforts go unrewarded."

"Both involve effort, but because the results are the same, they are often confused." - So

"You believe that efficiency leads to ruthlessness, but often efficiency kills progress, and no one wants to try to innovate and bring themselves down."

"But there are always people who are willing to eat instant noodles and pickled vegetables for their ideals."

Planck extended his hand, gesturing for her to sit closer. Elysia hesitated for a moment, then went and sat down beside him.

"I'm saying all this just to tell you that efficiency and ruthlessness are not mutually exclusive."

"It's just that in the spiral of social system development, some people have tried to abandon emotions in exchange for extreme efficiency."

"Ultimately, this is a systemic problem."

Ultimately, society is made up of people, and everything we have now is part of humanity's exploration of society. This process is neither always positive and progressive, nor is it always downward.

Just like human history, this process will be a spiral upward, and it may even go for hundreds of years without progress, or an innovation may lead to a decline.

Elysia shook her head; she didn't understand. Lu

She simply asked with anticipation, "Is there a system that can make everyone happy, where every effort is rewarded?"

Planck's smile was somewhat subtle, "Perhaps there is, but I can't think of any specific form right now."

"Perhaps as humanity explores society and continuously discovers its rules, this system will one day emerge in the future."

Elysia's eyes remained blank, but she briefly recalled her past dreams. However, the harsh realities of life and the trials of her dreams had dampened her spirits.

Are you interested in studying social psychology with me for a while?

Planck, with his light green hair, reached out his hand, Elysia hesitated for a moment.

The green-haired professor is a good person, but. "I came here with Xiaoyu."

What if An Yu goes home early?
