Live Q&A: I am the Star God of Heaven

Chapter 876 Gathering, Qinxia Amusement Park 21

"Of course, it wasn't a real streetlight, just Ling's flashlight. She smiled and waited for me at the subway entrance, and then we went home together. She did this every day after that. She would share her experiences at school with me and then ask me what I was doing at the company.

In order to answer her questions, I gradually developed the habit of recalling my day in advance on the subway on my way home, looking for all the interesting things and topics to talk about. I guess she was doing the same thing - in fact, what we shared with each other were just trivial, ubiquitous, monotonous and small things that filled life.

But I gradually stopped finding them monotonous. As Ling used her flashlight to illuminate the path from the subway station to my home, I discovered that it had always been very colorful and worth looking forward to.

Although I've moved away, I still video chat with Ling frequently. As long as this flashlight is there, I can face work and life with confidence. Honestly, I don't find the days of coming home late, working overtime, and walking at night particularly blissful. I'm still toiling and exhausted, with so many things I want to do but can't, and so much unavoidable busyness.

But, this is probably my life. The bell just helps me to be more aware of it, to focus on something that can give me strength.

Maybe... you can give it a try."

Honkai Impact 3rd Alicia: "Wow! Sakura said something very positive! I wonder if Kevin got any inspiration from it?"

Honkai Impact 3rd Kevin: "It's indeed a very positive speech, but our work is very easy now, so it may not be of much help."

Dr. Honkai Impact 3rd: "That's a good inspiration. After all, this is a warm time with family."

Kevin: "Yes, I will. Thank you, Sakura. Not only were you willing to share these tips with me, but you also helped me get my cup noodles back. I really appreciate it."

Hua: "...So, cup noodles are more important?"

Ying: "Of course it's important. That's the prop for this commission. Kevin, you better hold it well and don't let the assistant snatch it away again."

"Well, I will protect Cup Noodles and... my life. Sakura, this is your love value."

"Thank you, I should be leaving now."

Alicia: "Where are you going, Sakura? Since there are no more commissions at the foot of the mountain, why don't you come up with us?"

"Thanks for the invitation, but no. When I say leaving, I don't mean in the game, but... I'm going offline."

"Eh? So early?"

"It's getting late. I have to work overtime again today."

Hua: “Again!”

Kevin: "Working overtime at this time..."

Ying: "Well, by the way, if you still plan to continue climbing, why not take this knife with you? I also strengthened it at the shop with my love points in order to deal with various commissions. With it, at least you shouldn't be blocked by the horizontal beams anymore.

If you encounter a strong enemy, you can also use it to defend yourself."

"Strong enemy?"

"I just heard someone at the foot of the mountain say that a white monster has been sighted in the snowy mountains. If this knife can help you instead of me, I should be able to accumulate more love points, and our cooperation will be a win-win situation."

Alicia: "I understand. Thank you, Sakura."

Honkai Impact 3 Little Gray Xiu: "Sister Ying, are you going to work overtime so soon?"

Gray Shu of Honkai Impact 3rd: "It should be the night shift. Sakura-sister usually works the night shift as well. She went out at this time in the video, so she must be working the night shift."

Starry Sky Railway March 7: "Yeah, the adult world is really hard."

The three continued forward, and on the way to the top of the mountain, a huge snowstorm suddenly blew up, and the bridge in front of them leading to the top of the mountain was broken.

Hua: "What a big snowstorm."

Alicia: "Let's take shelter for now. According to the map, there should be a supply cabin here, right before the suspension bridge leading to the top of the mountain... but it seems there's no cabin, only... a broken bridge?"

Kevin: "Maybe the cabin collapsed under the weight of the snowstorm—just like the broken bridge."

Kevin walked to the edge of the snow pile, pushed aside some of the snow, and sure enough, he saw broken wood piled under the snow.

Kevin: “…I can’t eat noodles now.”

Hua: "More than that, without the bridge, we have no way of continuing to the top of the mountain."

Alicia: "But, think about it from another perspective. Isn't this the most suitable solution for us at this moment?"

Kevin: "What plan?"

"Here's a broken bridge, and here's a pile of crushed timber—if we combine them, won't we have a new bridge?"

Hua: "You mean, we can use the scraps from the cabin to repair the broken bridge?"

"Yes, after crossing this bridge, we will soon reach the top of the mountain. If we just hold on for a while longer, we can admire Master Qian's treasures on the top of the mountain and stop eating noodles."

Kevin: "But we don't have the right tools right now. We can't dig out the wood, let alone repair the bridge."

"Don't forget, this is a game world—we have a versatile shop! Just like buying instant noodles just now, this time we just need to use our love points to buy the tools!"

Hua: "It sounds like it requires a lot of tools, but do we have enough love?"

Kevin shook his head. "It's not enough, but we can create it. Hua, you've already been in charge of the creation once. This time it's my turn."

"what do you mean……"

"Alisa, this time...is it my turn to tell you what's been bothering me lately?"

Mingchao Encore: "Is it coming? Is it coming? Uncle Kevin's worries."

Star Dome Railway Bai'e: "I'm quite curious about this. I wonder what Brother Kevin's form is."

Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Well, now we know."

Alicia: "Oh, Kevin, it's rare to see you take the initiative."

Kevin: "...Even if I don't ask, you'll probably ask next. You've been making these kind of eyes since the beginning."

"Hmm~?"

"And... I admit, after listening to Sakura's story, I also felt a little... the urge to confide in her."

"That's great, Kevin. Tell us your story."

Kevin glanced at the top of the mountain not far away, showing a complicated expression, and slowly sighed.

"...Master Qian said there's a treasure on the top of the mountain... It would be great if it was some kind of treasure that could be brought into the real world. That way, I wouldn't have to worry so much about losing my job."

Captain of Honkai Sandongyuan: "What the hell? Kevin is going to lose his job?"

Honkai Impact 3rd: Lisa: "This news is a bit surprising, but I had already guessed it was due to work, so I'm not too surprised."

Genshin Impact Zhongli: "Let's take a look at Kevin's troubles."

(Wow, wow, wow, my phone number linked to Genshin Impact, Star Railroad, and Honkai Impact 3rd has been blocked. I can't play the games anymore, and I was hoping to get Alysia's new armor and Xilian! And now they're gone!

It'll take three months to unblock, and I won't be able to play Genshin Impact during this time. At least I can play StarCraft and Honkai Impact 3rd with alts, which is really pissing me off. It shouldn't have been stuck earlier or later, but it just happened to be stuck in the version I was most looking forward to.
