PDS: Before I knew it, it's already two hundred chapters...

My friend said he wanted to go to the VR experience again this weekend because he hadn't tried the "girlfriend" experience yet. Well... when it was his turn, a female student from his junior year of college arrived, along with her parents and younger brother.

Chapter 201 Independent of Time and Space

After trying various methods without being able to kiss Li Wei, Qi Xi could only give up in frustration, turning her head away and snorting in dissatisfaction.

Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Ever since Qi Xi started clamoring to kiss him, he had been exhausted by her antics. Heaven help him, he, who was basically fearless, was now only afraid of this little devil in front of him.

"Xiao Qi, please let me go," Li Wei pleaded. "I finally got to come out once in a while. Let me play for a bit, and then I'll go back and let him take over."

"As you know, the little dark room is often completely dark. Apart from being able to see various fragments of the future, there's no one to talk to."

"Then it's settled. Third Master, you have to go back when you're done playing," Qi Xi said, hands on her hips.

"Okay, okay, my dear aunt." Li Wei gave a wry smile. Then a girl walked by, and his eyes lit up. He took a few steps forward and struck up a conversation.

"Beautiful lady, seeing your beauty has suddenly inspired me to think of a very elegant poem."

"Hmm? Can you read it to me?"

“It’s my pleasure to serve you,” Li Wei said in a gentlemanly manner, bowing slightly with his right hand, then shaking his head and saying, “One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces, thousands of pieces, tens of thousands of pieces, countless pieces, one torch can burn them all!”

"Well, this poem really shows the hardships people faced today, when they were so poor they could only burn withered leaves for warmth."

"Self-immolation?"

"Yes, this has to be told from the very beginning, a long, long time ago..."

"I'll buy it when you finish writing it as a novel. I have urgent business to attend to now, bye-bye."

……

"Excuse me, beautiful lady..."

……

Seeing Li Wei constantly hitting roadblocks, Qi Xi couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled, her gaze filled with longing.

Behind Li Wei's back, which he couldn't see, Qi Xi muttered in a low voice, "Silly Third Master, I was just joking with you. Although you are indeed not as powerful as the original master, you are still my master."

"It's a pity. Ever since Second Master became increasingly difficult to control, you haven't appeared much anymore."

"Whether it's the past, the present, or the future, you're all an integral part of your master. How could Xiao Qi really hate you? You're so stupid."

"Hmm? Qi Xi, what were you muttering to yourself just now?" After a series of failures, Li Wei walked back looking dejected.

"It's nothing. I just feel that you haven't changed at all compared to before, Third Master."

"Still so stupid. You can easily win over any girl just by using your lust." Qi Xi, who was about half a head shorter than Li Wei, came up to him and gently flicked his forehead with her slender, white fingers.

"Fool."

While complaining, Li Wei rubbed Qi Xi's head and said, "This is my pride as a scholar, okay? If I can't use my knowledge to get one of them, where will I put my face? Do you think I'm as stupid as those two, with zero emotional intelligence?"

"Little Qi, you should know that I'm the most knowledgeable of the three of us. Do you want me to prove it...?"

"Yes, yes, you've seen the most, Third Master," Qi Xi said irritably.

"Xiao Qi, you still don't believe me? Back when I was still active in the anime and manga world, I was always the first to complete every new visual novel that was released!" Li Wei said proudly.

“…Third Master, in some ways you are exactly the same as First Master and Second Master,” Qi Xi said, covering her forehead.

Li Wei said calmly, "After all, we are different parts of the same person, so it's only natural that we have some commonalities."

"By the way, Xiao Qi, can you tell me about this place?" Li Wei looked around and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this place should be quite interesting."

"Hmm? Master, you haven't seen this place in the future?" Qi Xi asked curiously. "If it belongs to the present, then so be it. The cycle of reincarnation is unlikely to be destroyed in the short term."

"Could it be that……"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "That's not the reason. I tried to sense this world, and it has a power that transcends time and space, making it independent of countless planes and the long river of time."

"Or perhaps, it is just that kind of existence. You know that my current abilities are not complete, so I'm not quite sure."

"Okay, so the cycle of reincarnation is actually..."

The two walked side by side for a long time, and Qi Xi explained the general course of events to Li Wei.

"I'm a student at the Samsara Academy now, but I don't really want to be a student," Li Wei said, frowning slightly.

"What is he thinking? How can he be so honest? Has he forgotten what happened before?"

Qi Xi sighed and said, "This academy... isn't like the schools of the past. Third Master, you should be able to enjoy your student days at the academy."

Li Wei said calmly, "Student? Do you think that this world still has knowledge that I need to learn, and that I am an existence more advanced and omniscient than a prophet?"

Qi Xi's lips twitched as she looked at Li Wei, who was starting to take pride in this again.

"...Third Master, actually I wanted to say..."

"what?"

"Never mind, sigh..." Qi Xi recalled a period of her past that she found unbearable to look back on, and couldn't help but feel ashamed for Li Wei in advance.

The Third Master's words weren't entirely wrong. In the dark room, he did absorb countless pieces of knowledge about the future. This knowledge not only encompassed the general modern level, but also included higher-level, broader things about rules.

It also includes many observations and insights.

"Then what are your plans, Third Master?" Qi Xi asked after thinking for a moment, "Could it be that you're thinking of..."

"Yes, I do have that plan." Li Wei stroked his chin and said, "With my abilities, the academy can't possibly refuse."

"……hope so."

Just as the two were about to talk about something else, two clear chimes rang out throughout the university.

Qi Xi's right ear twitched slightly: "Master, we should go. This is the signal from the school to gather in the auditorium. The exchange competition is over now, and it should be time for the final speech to mark the end of the competition."

"Huh? Qixi, how did you know?"

"Because I participated once before, but that time it wasn't here, it was at Hell Academy."

"Oh right, Master, I almost forgot to tell you. Before the competition, the mentors said that this exchange competition is related to the allocation of slots for the welfare dungeon."

"Bonus content?"

Qi Xi nodded seriously, "Yes, it's a welfare dungeon. Unlike regular dungeons, the normal world requires you to complete tasks, and failure will be accompanied by various penalties. It can be said that the risk and reward are proportional, similar to a training exercise."

"The welfare dungeons are different. The dungeons themselves are not dangerous, and the higher your ability, the more you will gain. Generally speaking, the rewards of welfare dungeons are very generous."

"It's a pity, though. These kinds of dungeons are rare, and the resources you get from opening one are more than in a normal world. I was already inclined to try this when I participated last time, but..."

Qi Xi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I heard that before the vice dean and the other party's senior management had even reached an agreement, I took care of everyone, and the negotiations naturally collapsed. I should have known better than to slap them so quickly."

By the way, any funny anime recommendations? ...I've been feeling inexplicably irritable lately...

Let me recommend a few anime to you: "Binbo God Arrives," "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.", and "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun." I watched these while I was recovering from illness, and they were really good compared to the ecchi anime of today...

Chapter 202 A strange background music suddenly started playing.

Li Wei curled his lip and said, "Even if there is a punishment, what does it matter? Deducting lifespan? Or erasing existence? Even if it's the latter... no, in that case, that guy might be released."

Li Wei, who had originally wanted to show off, suddenly realized that something was not right.

"Don't worry, Master. The current penalty for dungeons in the academy is to deduct lifespan, so you don't need to worry about your second master appearing."

"I'm not afraid of him at all."

"You've revealed your true feelings."

“…Okay, I admit it,” Li Wei’s lips twitched, “That guy is too cold. Although we are different parts of the same person, you know that he was separated from…that place.”

“If his personality were to emerge, he would be utterly inhuman…” Li Wei seemed to recall something unbearable. “In my sea of ​​consciousness, I didn’t even want to get close to him. I always felt a chill emanating from my body.”

Qi Xi said speechlessly, "Third Master, you've really mastered the art of self-deprecation."

Li Wei shrugged: "But what I said is true. I was forced to do this because that guy was too aggressive."

Qi Xi exclaimed, "Third Master, you don't have complete memories of that kind of thing? Actually, it's not just because... ah, it's nothing."

Qi Xi, realizing she almost let something slip, covered her mouth and gasped in surprise.

"Hmm? Xiaoqi, what do you want to say..."

"I mean, it's because you're too weak, Third Master." Qi Xi flicked Li Wei's forehead again with her little finger and said, "Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this."

"Huh? It's because they're both monsters," Li Wei said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Having finally changed the subject, Qi Xi said, "Master, let's go to the main hall first. This bonus instance should allow you to familiarize yourself with your abilities again."

Li Wei said casually, "What's so difficult about that?"

"Oh, right," Li Wei suddenly remembered something, "Where are Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai?"

"As for Xiaobai, it's now the student council president of the Samsara Academy. As for Xiaohei," Qixi paused and said, "I don't know where it went. It's probably in the Samsara World. I followed it here and don't know how it got here."

"So you haven't seen Xiao Hei yet?" Li Wei stroked his chin and said, "Could it have been caught and made into soup?"

Qi Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Probably not. Little Black doesn't even have a piece of meat. Even homeless people probably wouldn't want its skeleton. But I've heard that if you cut off the head of a black cat after it's dried and hang it on the roof to be exposed to the sun and rain, it will bring you good fortune."

"Huh? I've seen this in the future too. On a certain planet, many people like to pluck the fur off their black cats and stick their butts into the tips of flagpoles. It seems to be a trend."

At this point, the two of them sighed at the same time, saying, "It's a pity that Xiao Hei isn't here, otherwise it could be enjoying a peaceful life."

Qi Xi said with deep feeling, "These days, where can you find owners as good as us? Xiao Hei doesn't even realize that nowadays, cat owners spoil their cats rotten, not knowing that doing so will only stifle a cat's potential. Without experiencing hardship, a cat will never become a good cat."

"I wonder if Xiao Hei has finished reading the books I left for him: 'The Philosophy of Domestic Cats,' 'The Domestic Life of Cats,' 'A Cat's Guide to Earning a Million a Month,' and 'How Domestic Cats Perform Photosynthesis.'"

"After watching it, we can all be supported by Xiao Hei without having to work. Wouldn't that be a wonderful life?"

"Yes, Xiao Hei will definitely be happy to make sacrifices. I remember I gave it a copy of 'Sacrifice is the most important thing in a cat's life'."

……

As the two chatted casually, they unknowingly arrived in front of the university auditorium, a space covering at least hundreds of thousands of square meters. Hundreds of thousands of square meters might not seem like a large area in this university, but this auditorium was no ordinary place like those in the real world. It could adjust its size according to the number of people in it, and it also had many other amazing functions that even the professors couldn't explain.

Against the backdrop of the auditorium stage was the same World Tree as that at the Samsara Academy, surrounded by orbs of light, each representing a microcosm of a different world.

During this period, students continued to enter, not only second-year students, but also first-year and third-year students, because the exchange competition was not just a one-time event, but rather all grades except for fourth-year students who were away on internships had to send representatives to participate.

Only the second-year students, because of Qi Xi, had a four-on-four match; the other two groups had a five-on-five match.

The students in the university moved quickly, and within a few minutes, they had all gathered in the auditorium in an orderly manner, forming neat lines. There were also thirty or forty professors distributed inside the auditorium, but most of them were standing on both sides of the stage with the student union members. Unlike the people in the college, these professors and students, for some reason, had particularly serious expressions, as if something terrible might happen and they were on guard against something at any time.

Soon, a young man wearing glasses, with a rigid appearance, and dressed in a similar academic style with only slight modifications, stepped onto the podium.

"Hello everyone, fellow students and mentors, I am Han Fengyue, the president of the student council..."

"This time, our Horror High School and Samsara Academy held an annual student exchange competition."

……

"It's a pity that we lost all our matches except the one in the third year, but we believe friendship comes first..."

At this point, Han Fengyue suddenly slammed down the microphone on the podium, took off his glasses and threw them on the ground, then stomped on them with his right foot until they were pulverized.

At the same time, Han Fengyue's originally gentle and refined demeanor changed drastically. His eyebrows shot up fiercely, and he slammed his left foot on the podium with a thud.

"I'd never say those things. Screw friendship, screw 'just do your best'! You bunch of idiots, why don't you just die?! Answer me, were you first and second graders raised on garbage? You're such trash!"

"Speak up, huh?! Don't look down on me, you first and second-year bastards!"

Han Fengyue pulled out a spiked club over two meters long, covered in nails, from who-knows-where and raised it high, saying, "You little grasshoppers, I can wipe you all out with one blow..."

"What are you doing? Let me go! Are you trying to rebel? Damn it, take this! Drink up!"

……

After forcibly removing Han Fengyue from the stage, all the students except the first-year students couldn't help but feel ashamed. In particular, the student council members and instructors felt their faces burning with embarrassment. It was one thing to lose face normally, but now that there were outsiders present, they had really lost face big time.

One of the mentors couldn't help but cover his forehead, looking ashen-faced, and said, "I knew this bastard would do this. I should have known. Damn it, who agreed to let this guy go on stage in the first place?"
