"How heartless!"
"Why is he so skilled at this?"
"Wouldn't this cause the morality to decrease even more?"
Some strange comments floated across the screen.
After his girlfriend left angrily, Gu Yi himself didn't immediately leave. Instead, he secretly followed her until she boarded the train home, only then did he depart.
After that, he immediately went to the will repository to set up his will, stating that he would leave all his assets to his grandparents after his death.
"Why is he doing this?"
"I think it's because Gu Yi had the intention of dying when he decided to assassinate his stepfather, so he made arrangements for his will in advance."
"Why didn't he leave half of his assets to his girlfriend?"
While watching the fierce discussion in the comments, Ah Jian couldn't help but nudge Old Zhai, "Bro, send a comment for me."
"Your hand isn't broken. Why do you need me to send a comment for you?"
"Hey, the doctor told me not to move around..." Ah Jian said with a smile, "Just say, Gu Yi didn't want his girlfriend to find out about his death or his illegal actions, so he didn't leave any inheritance for her. He hopes that after she goes back to her hometown, she can find a good man and get married."
"I think your naive mind isn't very helpful..."
Old Zhai muttered the sarcastic remark but still helped Ah Jian send the comment.
The scene in the broadcast shifted to the front of the stepfather's villa.
The stepfather, accompanied by two bodyguards, was jogging around a lake.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the stepfather's head exploded like a firework. The two bodyguards were knocked out by Gu Yi before they could even react, and they were left on the side of the road.
Old Zhai and Ah Jian stared at the screen, too shocked to breathe.
"When... did this kid become so skilled? Even if he has some benefits given by dungeon, he shouldn't be this proficient."
"Such a clean and efficient method, even Chris is not his match." Ah Jian exclaimed, "His talent is to deduce the future, practicing scenarios over and over in his mind."
"So that's it."
Gu Yi neatly handled the stepfather's body, then sneaked into the villa and used a dagger to slit the throats of the other two accomplices of his father.
By now, Gu Yi had killed all his enemies without harming any innocent bodyguards.
After taking his revenge, Gu Yi didn't stop. Instead, he ran straight to the police station and turned himself in.
"Why did he turn himself in?"
"Because of morality - after all, killing is illegal.
To serve the country as a soldier is loyalty.
Breaking up with his girlfriend so as not to involve others is righteousness.
Enduring years for the sake of avenging his mother and leaving his inheritance to his grandparents after his death is filial piety.
While taking revenge, he acted swiftly, without torturing his enemies or harming any innocents, always showing utmost restraint, which is benevolence.
Turning himself in after committing the crime is a sign of respect for the law, he showed integrity.
Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, and integrity, Gu Yi definitely would score the highest this time."
As Ah Jian finished speaking, the invigilator announced the scores.
"A righteous person, achieving both loyalty and filial piety. Emotionality: 9 points, Rationality: 9 points."
The two progress bars above Gu Yi's head grew simultaneously. Now, his scores for emotionality and rationality were both 23, the highest among all adventurers!
Whew—
Gu Yi took a deep breath, his consciousness returning to the examination room.
"Congratulations on passing the second exam."
"Your plot exploration rate has been increased."
"Current plot exploration rate is 34%."
Leaving the examination room, Gu Yi was quickly called away by the invigilator. The teacher gave him a fresh dream fragment. Gu Yi carefully concealed it and exited the office.
Outside the office door, Gu Yi saw his roommate, who also received a dream fragment.
"How many points did you get?"
"I got 18."
"18?" Chen Zeyu looked surprised, "How did you manage that? Did you score 9 in both emotionality and rationality?"
"Yes."
Holding his own dream fragment, Chen Zeyu suddenly felt less triumphant, "I only got 13 points. How did you do it?"
"I don't know, I just got lucky."
Gu Yi shrugged and left the academic building.
Chen Zeyu snorted disdainfully, "Damn it, why don't I have such luck to get such a high score?"
Back in the dormitory, Gu Yi kept waiting by the window for the passage to the gymnasium to open.
For once, Chen Zeyu took the initiative to speak, "Dude, how did you manage it?"
"What are you referring to?"
"I mean, how did you score so high?"
Gu Yi turned his head, "Is my score really that exceptional?"
"It is! Only 30% of students can get 10 points. Scoring 12 already indicates talent."
"Is that so..."
"How did you do it?" Chen Zeyu continued, "The education I received since childhood is that you can't keep a cake and eat it at the same time.[1] One always has to give up something to gain something. One must lose in order to gain."
Hearing this, Gu Yi fell deep into thought.
Every dungeon seemed to constantly emphasize the question of "cost." This time, the dungeon used Chen Zeyu's to express the theme of "give and take".
In Chen Zeyu's worldview, no one can have it all. One always needs to give up something to achieve a goal.
"You're right," Gu Yi said, "Indeed, some things need to be sacrificed, so... I chose to give up my life and freedom."
"Life? Freedom?" Chen Zeyu pondered, "You turned yourself in after taking revenge, right?"
"Yes."
"Isn't it meaningless? You could have created a perfect crime scene and cleared yourself of any suspicion. Why surrender and waste your life?"
"Why is it meaningless?"
"Life only has meaning if it exists. Dead people hold no value."
"It's precisely because there's death in the world that life has meaning."
Chen Zeyu frowned, "You speak like a philosopher writing prose."
"It's a good comparison. It gives me a feeling of home."
"Huh?"
Chen Zeyu looked confused. Gu Yi looked towards the direction of the gymnasium, a void passage was gradually forming, "I'm planning to go to the gymnasium to earn some credits. Do you want to come with me?"
"No thanks, I don't want to sweat."
Gu Yi headed to the gymnasium alone.
The air conditioning here had just been turned on and the temperature hadn't cooled down yet. Several students were already playing on the basketball court. From afar, Gu Yi could feel the heat. He looked around and spotted a person wearing a baseball cap, with a whistle around his neck, looking like a coach.
"Hello," Gu Yi approached, "I'm here to earn credits."
"Oh?" The coach glanced at Gu Yi, "I know you, you're the student who got the highest score in the second exam, right?"
"Yes."
"I didn't expect someone with such high scores to still work part-time. But no worries, there's still plenty of work to do in the gymnasium."
The coach spoke as he fetched a pile of cleaning tools from the storage room. Tossing them in front of Gu Yi, he pointed at the glass windows above and said, "Your task today is to clean all these windows within 2 hours. If you exceed the time, I won't give you any rewards."
Gu Yi looked up, surveying the expanse of windows above him.
The workload was substantial, but even if he slacked off, an hour would be more than enough for him to clean everything.
"Understood."
Gu Yi grabbed the cleaning tools and ran up the steps. It was only then that he realized the trap the coach had set for him.
— The auditorium above the gymnasium was just like section B of the library, another area of spatial chaos!
[1] It's often used to highlight the necessity of making a decision where you can't keep all the benefits of a situation. If you eat your cake, you won't have it anymore. And if you want to keep the cake, you can’t eat it because it will be gone. So you can’t keep it and eat it at the same time. You have to choose between eating it or keeping it.
