Chapter 134 Three Paths

Rubio Lopez was knocked down by Somo and was deeply humiliated, trying to get up and retaliate.

However, before he could regain his footing, a snake-like stick inserted between his feet, and with a clever pry, he tripped to the ground again.

What followed was a violent storm of blows, which left his nose and face swollen and his head was covered with bruises!

Rubio was still unwilling to give in and struggled to get up. However, he was knocked down with a stick without any suspense again and was beaten severely.

After repeating this many times, he was beaten to the point where he was no longer human, his breath was weak, and he was unable to struggle anymore.

There were rapid footsteps from across the woods, and a tall and burly berserker came over carrying a tomahawk.

Rubio vaguely saw the figure of the Berserker, and his heart suddenly became cold and completely despairing.

Now that Somo's helper is back, it is conceivable that "Double Swordsman" Zaid is already in danger and there is no way he will have the energy to come back to save him.

"No...Suma...you can't kill me!"

Seeing the young monk raising his stick again, Rubio Lopez, regardless of maintaining the dignity of a nobleman and his brother, hugged Somo's feet and begged.

"My brother, I admit my mistake to you... I can pay any price to atone for my sin. I know you are a kind-hearted person. No matter what... you can't be cruel enough to kill your brother with your own hands!"

"This poisonous snake is bad to the core. He will only bow to you when his life is at stake. Never let him stay!" Yesenia walked into the forest and advised Sumo in a low voice, "Kill him and you can take his place. His status becomes the real Baron Lopez!"

"I also think this bad guy deserves to die!" Uncle Ali fell from the sky and transformed from a whirlwind into the form of a giant spirit. "But having said that, Brother Sumo, you are an illegitimate child after all. You are not the legitimate heir of the Lopez family, and you are not guilty of coveting the baron. Title, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to leave Sevinia after killing Rubio and travel around the world with us? "

Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment. Before she could make up her mind, she received three system prompts one after another, providing three endings for her to choose from for the module "The Vast Sea Foreigners".

Option A (Yesenia’s suggestion): Kill Rubio Lopez, destroy his body, replace him with an impostor.

Option B (Ali’s suggestion): Kill Rubio Lopez, take back his mother’s belongings, and walk away.

Option C (Suma's own preference): Let Rubio Lopez go, take back his mother's belongings, and walk away.

"All three endings seem to make sense, how should I choose?"

Jiang Feng asked Gao Fei for help through the Xinglai private chat channel.

"If I were to make a choice as a gamer, I would probably choose the second path: I want to take back what belongs to me, and I won't covet what doesn't belong to me! I want to be happy with my grudges and wander around the world. It’s the true nature of a man!”

Gao Fei thought for a moment and then said:

"On the other hand, if I were faced with the same choice as a creator, considering the subsequent development of the story, I would be more inclined to choose the first path."

"Kill Rubio and assume his identity?" Jiang Feng frowned and asked in confusion: "Would this be too much, too evil? Can you pass your own moral bottom line?"

“When I think about things from the perspective of a creator, my moral bottom line becomes very flexible.”

Goofy smiled to himself.

"Although I don't like the first path myself, my rationality tells me that this path is easier to write and can attract more readers."

"A poor boy pretends to be a baron to monopolize the family property, pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and enjoys the extravagant and luxurious aristocratic life. Money, beauty and power are all at his fingertips. Isn't this more enjoyable than a poor boy wandering around the world?"

"From the perspective of writing skills, this is also a more reasonable option. Sumo had previously received half a year of training as a 'Shadow Warrior'. Isn't this a foreshadowing for replacing the main protagonist at this moment?"

"It is indeed a sin to kill your brother and pretend to be someone else, and it may be discovered by others. It is precisely because of this sense of guilt and the sense of danger of walking on thin ice that the tension of the drama can be strengthened and attract readers to continue reading. Worrying and looking forward to the moment when the truth will be revealed.”

Jiang Feng listened silently to what he said, raised his head and asked, "You can explain the first two ways, why don't you mention the third way?"

"It's not necessary." Gao Fei smiled slightly, "Because I am 100% sure that the third way is the one you make up your mind to choose. It is the most unpleasant and touching, the most ordinary and the greatest. path...now that you have made your choice, what else can I say?”

"Are you really so sure that I will choose the third path?" Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows with surprise on his face, "What's the reason?"

"Because you are Jiang Nu Xia." Gao Fei's smile was full of emotion, "The reason why a Xia is a Xia is not important whether he has martial arts skills. The most important thing is not to do anything wrong in his life!"

Jiang Feng couldn't help but tremble, shook Gao Fei's hand hard, bit his lip, and his beautiful eyes were slightly moist.

"Thank you, classmate Gao... I don't know how much virtue I accumulated in my previous life, so that I could meet you in this life."

"Hey! That's not true! Why do I think you are scolding me?"

"Fuck you! Bad thing!"

Jiang Nuxia laughed through her tears, picked up the stick and hit him on the butt moderately.

…

Goofy guessed correctly.

Jiang Feng's choice was more in line with Sumo's own tendency: he couldn't bear to kill Rubio Lopez, his half-brother.

"For the sake of my mother, I'll let you go this time! If you still don't repent, and you fall into my hands again, beware of your life!"

Su Mo took back the collar, threw down two stern warnings, and turned away.

Ali and Yesenia did not completely agree with Su Mo's choice, but they could understand that he cared about his family and decided to accompany Su Mo to leave Sevnia.

It was dawn, and as the sun rose as usual, the story of "Stranger in the Vast Sea" also came to an end and came to an end.

Jiang Feng was forcibly released from the "Goddess" state by the system, but he was reluctant to quit the game. He stared at the morning light that dyed the eastern horizon red for a long time, and finally sighed with mixed emotions.

"Gao Fei, I remember you once said that sometimes when you finish reading a book or playing a game, the moment you see the ending, it seems that you have already lived a long life... Now, I also experience this feeling of loss."

Gao Fei nodded in agreement.

“We are all mortals with limited lives. The events we can experience in our lifetime are very limited, and most of them are boring and trivial repetitive. Only through literature, art, comics, movies, games and other works can we obtain personal experiences that are far richer and more interesting than real life. In a sense, this is equivalent to prolonging our lives.”
