Chapter 1966 A Gathering of Losers!
Li Changsheng's tone was full of helplessness.
Because he seemed to genuinely hope that an imperial tutor would emerge in the Dan Era, an imperial tutor willing to lead all living beings toward the light.
"Zhang Ling previously said that war might break out during the Longevity Era."
"Faced with this result, my subconscious reaction was that I didn't want to believe it."
"But now that I think about it carefully, war is almost inevitable. The only thing missing is a fuse."
"And the trigger for this was the virtual world!"
Hearing Li Changsheng's words, Fengzhi looked at the wine glass in her hand and laughed, "I never thought that we losers could be discussing the state of the world here."
"If outsiders saw this, they would probably laugh at me again."
"Senior Feng is right. We losers are better off living a life of debauchery!"
Li Changsheng made a self-deprecating remark, and then everyone raised their glasses together.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone was still slightly tipsy.
Long Aotian grabbed Li Changsheng's hand and said, "Li Changsheng, you always say that life in the Dan Era is not easy."
"But why do you seem to be living such a carefree life?"
In response to Long Aotian's words, Li Changsheng smiled bitterly and said, "My nonchalant attitude is just for show. Only I know the bitterness in my heart."
"On my journey to the black hole of the universe, I originally intended to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, but my elders insisted that I charge into battle."
“If I hadn’t entered the fray immediately, Mo Bai and you would all be seriously injured, and you would not have been my match.”
"But things don't always go as planned. As a scion of a powerful family, my words and actions are not as free as you imagine."
"So I'm not happy about losing this battle!"
Looking into Li Changsheng's eyes, Zhang Ling spoke with a slightly drunken gaze.
"Following behind and taking shortcuts, even if you win, it's not honorable."
"The path of combat is inherently dishonorable. We are there to fight, not to undergo trials!"
Li Changsheng retorted directly, "The layout of the cosmic black hole is full of deadly traps. The person behind it clearly doesn't want us to pass."
"At least they won't get through like us mediocre people."
"Only three types of people can receive rewards in this scheme."
"One type is the high-ranking figures who have territory, power, and wisdom."
"No matter how the virtual universe develops, the profits that belong to them will never disappear."
"The second type of person is a genius like Mo Bai who creates miracles. His appearance is meant to break the rules of common sense."
"This kind of person also deserves a share of the pie in the virtual universe because he is strong enough."
"The third type of person is the lucky one like Mengde."
"To be this kind of person, you don't look at strength or cultivation, you only look at luck."
"Unfortunately, we don't have great luck, we don't have resources large enough to be ignored, and we don't have the strength to break all conventions."
"People like us, if we don't use our wisdom to achieve victory, will only face defeat."
"Besides, the virtual universe is neither a trial held by the academy nor a test created by our family."
"This is a battle in the cultivation world that couldn't be more real. Since that's the case, why can't I be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it!"
As he spoke, a bloodshot appeared in Li Changsheng's eyes.
Seeing the look in Li Changsheng's eyes, Zhang Ling smiled.
"Hahaha!"
"You're right, I was too naive. I always treated this as a trial."
"I always thought that as long as I used some clever tricks, I could become the final winner."
"But little did they know, this is the most real world. One wrong step leads to another, and a slight misstep can lead to total defeat."
"We've lost our chance!"
With that, Zhang Ling raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
An atmosphere of failure and dejection filled the table.
"At such a young age, how can you drink like a drunkard? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
The voice came from behind the group.
The drinking session was interrupted, and the group was naturally somewhat dissatisfied.
But once they saw who it was, they immediately stood up.
Because the person who came was the boss who sold them the virtual world; to be precise, he should be the legendary Imperial Tutor.
"What are you looking at? Make some room!"
Hearing Chen Changsheng's urging, everyone immediately started clearing the table.
Soon, the messy stone table was tidied up.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng slowly sat down and then took out the tea set to brew tea.
"Wine makes people dazed, tea makes people sober. You are still young, so have more time to drink tea and don't become like drunkards."
Chen Changsheng casually remarked something, then handed out hot tea to everyone.
Looking at the living, breathing Imperial Tutor before them, everyone seemed to have seen a ghost.
Because logically, he shouldn't be here right now.
"What's wrong? My tea doesn't taste good?"
Seeing that no one made a move, Chen Changsheng asked with a smile.
"Juniors don't dare!"
Li Changsheng and the others quickly sat down. Looking at the hot tea in front of them, Li Changsheng hesitated for a long time before finally asking.
"Senior, what brings you here?"
"This is my shop, why can't I be here?"
"So you're here to take away our virtual world access, right?"
These words immediately made everyone's hearts jump.
Because Chen Changsheng had said that if they didn't perform well, he would take away their virtual world qualification.
His gaze swept over everyone, and Chen Changsheng picked up his teacup to sip his tea.
Why should I take away your qualifications?
"Because we failed."
Long Aotian lowered his head and said something, and Chen Changsheng smiled faintly: "In other people's eyes, you have failed."
"But in my eyes, you will always be the vibrant sun."
"brush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Aotian suddenly looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Is that how you see us?"
"Yes, your performance was excellent in my eyes."
Chen Changsheng said something very seriously, and Long Aotian and the others all had "sand" in their eyes, their eyes filled with tears.
Since the end of the cosmic black hole, no one in the world has acknowledged their efforts; everyone blames their failure.
Faced with life and death, Long Aotian did not shed a tear; facing the pain of being torn apart by five horses, Long Aotian did not even flinch.
But after hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Long Aotian's lips trembled violently.
"Senior...I...really..."
Long Aotian's voice trembled, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
The dragon clan's prodigy, a disciple of the academy, an arrogant man, was now crying like a helpless child.
Everyone knows they are losers, but who knows that they also went through a near-death experience when they entered the cosmic black hole?
They did not fear pain, nor did they back down in the face of danger.
