The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 957 Two Golden Crows (Part 4)

And at this point, Liu Sheng's new plan must be brought up.

She first briefly explained her analysis to He Tao.

Upon hearing this, He Tao was immediately enraged.

"Zheng Qiran! I never thought that even after I've come to this, she would still try to take advantage of us! Now that she's dead, she's turned us into objects of universal scorn!"

"I have already clarified this with the police..."

"it's useless!"

He Tao interrupted Liu Sheng, clenching her fists, "These private arguments have no evidence, the police can't investigate them clearly, not to mention what I heard online about the federal police..."

She shook her index finger, looking disgusted.

"I think Officer Yu and Officer Yang seem quite responsible..."

"Even if the police clarify and issue a statement, how many netizens will believe it? In short, I'll have to carry this burden for the rest of my life..."

Liu Sheng wasn't a local, nor was she a girl like He Tao who had been immersed in fan circles and social networks for a long time, so she couldn't understand the intricacies of the situation for a while.

Only the "world" in one's heart nodded in agreement.

He Tao sighed heavily, "Sigh, let's just get plastic surgery and find a place to live the rest of our lives in anonymity."

His face showed a desolate, resigned look.

Liu Sheng looked at her calmly and asked, "Do you want revenge?"

He Tao was stunned. "What idea do you have?"

"Now everyone thinks we're ostracizing and trying to harm Zheng Qiran because we're jealous of her bright future, right?"

He Tao pouted, looking indignant:
"Although she's very capable, and although when I saw this news online just now... I was indeed a little bit jealous..."

"But she never told us about this in the first place! I have no reason to be jealous!"

"It's all hindsight from a God's-eye view! Especially Lin Yue and Long Yingxue, those two... those two..."

As she spoke, He Tao's expression shifted from anger to sadness.

He felt as if he had been doused with cold water and became listless.

Liu Sheng remained calm and continued to patiently guide him:

"Yes, we are all disappointed and in pain because we were betrayed by friends, misunderstood by classmates, and attacked by netizens... But it is precisely because of this that we must fight back."

"But... how do we fight back?"

“Those two clearly know the truth, they’re just trying to shift the blame. I can’t exactly force them to clarify things at knifepoint.” He Tao’s voice was slightly weak. “The other classmates were just misled, so it’s no big deal if they misunderstand… We might never see each other again after graduation.”

"As for arguing with netizens, it's completely useless. Everyone has their own perspective, their own stance, and their own information cocoon. There's no point in arguing back and forth..."

He Tao became increasingly discouraged as she spoke, her shoulders hunched over, and she helplessly hugged her legs.

However, Liu Sheng reached out and pressed down on her shoulder, his gaze unwavering.

"Therefore, we can no longer get bogged down in this pointless war of words; we must address the problem at its root."

He Tao was taken aback, drawn to the light in Liu Sheng's eyes—that is, "herself's" eyes.

"source?"

“That’s right.” Liu Sheng nodded. “Everyone thinks that we ruined Zheng Qiran because we were jealous of her ‘intelligence’ and ‘bright future’, so let’s start from those two points.”

He Tao blinked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"Tell me, where are the smartest and most promising people in the Federation usually located?"

"The First Federal Empire Cabinet?"

"No, what about something more academic?"

"The Federal Academy of Sciences?"

“…No.” Liu Sheng sighed and could only continue to guide the conversation, “What do these two have in common?”

He Tao frowned and thought for a while before tentatively asking, "All... in the capital of the First Empire?"

"No! The people inside!"

"Oh, they both graduated from the First Imperial University of the Federation."

"That's right!"

Liu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and snapped his fingers.

“As long as we can get into the First Imperial University, it will prove that we have no reason to be jealous of Zheng Qiran.”

"what?"

He Tao's mouth was half open, and she couldn't speak for a moment.

He then frantically waved his hands.

"No, no, no, no, it's impossible for us! How could we possibly pass the exam? Absolutely impossible!"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"I'm already on the verge of a breakdown just trying to pass Level 12, how am I supposed to get into First Imperial University?!"

"But do you think what I said makes sense? If He Tao can get into the First Imperial University, those rumors will naturally fall apart on their own."

He Tao nodded dejectedly: "I admit that makes sense, although I don't know how outsiders will interpret it..."

"Isn't that done?"

"But, but, how are we supposed to take the exam?" He Tao said, scratching her head. "Even if you're inside my body... I know my own mind best!"

"First, let me ask you, do you wish to go to the First Imperial University?"

He Tao paused for a moment, then deflated.

"Who wouldn't?"

"That's the best school in the Federation. Graduates are guaranteed a job in a state-owned enterprise, enjoying full benefits, a 9-to-5 schedule, and weekends off. Unlike us ordinary students who have to work 997 jobs just to earn enough to make ends meet..."

"Your parents also want us to get jobs in federal state-owned enterprises, don't they?"

Liu Sheng searched through his memories and found several clips of their arguments, each of which ended with He Tao hugging a doll, curling up in her room, and silently shedding tears.

He Tao sighed:

"Yes, but they simply don't understand that a degree from Qingyang University is enough to get you screened out at the resume stage. They're still living in their own era, thinking that as long as you work hard, you can get into a state-owned enterprise no matter what school you attend."

“Yes, that was an era of economic boom, so there were naturally many opportunities,” Liu Sheng nodded. “But now the world is facing a technological bottleneck, economic growth has stagnated, there’s an overpopulation, and jobs are saturated, so of course we’re getting into a race to the bottom, competing for education and working hours…”

"Wow, how do you know so much? No, how do I know so much?" He Tao stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Aren't these things things you can see while surfing the internet? You can easily figure them out by just looking around."

Liu Sheng even used the trendy word "surfing".

"Are we on the same network?" He Tao opened her mouth, "So what do we do?"

Liu Sheng answered both questions one by one:

"I believe it's the same network, but I prefer to search for background information on the world..."

"The second problem is that unless there is another technological breakthrough, the involution will only get worse, and right now, energy is the biggest problem..."

"No, no, what I'm asking is, what do we do?" He Tao interrupted Liu Sheng's dizzyingly long-winded explanation. "We want to get into the Imperial First University, but what's the plan?"

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "You're confident again?"

"While listening to you talk, I suddenly realized that my brain isn't so bad after all..." He Tao scratched the back of his head, "So... it doesn't seem impossible?"

If that's what you think, you're wrong...

The “brain” behind Liu Sheng, carrying ten Heavenly Evolution Stones—the “World”—spoke silently.

"The plan isn't actually that complicated," Liu Sheng said, sitting up straight. "We can replicate Zheng Qiran."

"Reissue?"

"Yes, if we wait for the postgraduate entrance exam, it will be at the end of the year, which is too long and won't give us enough of the satisfaction of getting a comeback. Why don't we learn from Zheng Qiran and take the special admission route?"

"Ah, so that's—writing a thesis?"

“That’s right.” Liu Sheng smiled slightly. “Write a groundbreaking paper and get a professor from the First Imperial University to directly hire you as a mentor.”

Upon hearing this, He Tao collapsed and lay down on the bed.

"I'm too lazy to even write a graduation thesis, let alone a 'shocking' one..."

But after two seconds, she suddenly sat up, her eyes lighting up.

"That's right, it proves that what Zheng Qiran can do, we can do too, leaving no room for argument!"

She raised her fist with great enthusiasm.

"Charge! First Imperial University of the Federation!"

However, the next second, Liu Sheng said, "Alright, shall we begin?"

"What, what starts?"

"Start cultivating the Chaos Yin Yang Technique!" Liu Sheng said matter-of-factly.

"Wait, is that the cultivation method you mentioned not long ago that could allow us to return to human form?"

"That's understandable."

"It's... the cultivation technique that can allow me to return to the mortal realm?"

"That's one way to understand it," Liu Sheng nodded.

"how long?"

He Tao's face was like a colorful palette, it was hard to tell whether she was happy or devastated.

"Soon, because we have our own energy reserves."

Energy reserves, as Liu Sheng is referring to, are of course [a golden crow (seed body)].

The Chaos Yin Yang Technique can not only improve this distorted body, allowing He Tao to regain control, but also systematically refine the energy structure of the "Golden Crow Seed," helping it to grow steadily.

It can be described as killing two birds with one stone, complementing each other.

"Start your practice now, and you'll be able to wake up in your own bed first thing tomorrow morning."

"Wait... what about you?" He Tao suddenly realized, "What are you going to do?"

She now genuinely believes that Liu Sheng is another version of herself.

It's just a smart, calm, and friendly version.

"Me? I'll stay here."

"But...but..."

"It's okay, I just need to be able to access the internet."

Liu Sheng pointed to the computer in the corner.

"No, that's not the point!" He Tao looked at her, her face showing utter despair. "I only have confidence because you're in charge. If it were me... I... I don't know, I probably couldn't do it..."

"Can't I just cheer you on?"

Liu Sheng shook her head: "I have other things to do."

"Ah? Here?"

"Well, as long as we can get online here, that's fine. And you said we can even visit other people's homes, isn't that great?"

"Is this alright...?"

He Tao's tone was low, and her eyes were unfocused.

The joy of being reborn as a human was gradually crushed by the immense pressure that was about to be faced.

"besides……"

Liu Sheng suddenly sat up cross-legged, gently lifted He Tao's face, looked directly into her eyes, calm and firm.

"Remember, we are one."

"So, I'll help you."

He Tao was stunned.

Liu Sheng took her hand and smiled:

"let us start."

……

In real life, "He Tao" sits cross-legged on the bed.

Meanwhile, in the room in the dream, Liu Sheng pulled He Tao and did the same thing.

A spark quietly ignited in Liu Sheng's heart.

The flames spread, first illuminating He Tao's physical body in the real world, and then awakening her inner world.

The firelight blazed brightly, producing fine golden threads that intertwined in the depths of the heart, forming a net of light.

Although the spiritual energy here is thin, almost zero, a large number of strange energy particles float in the area where "He Tao" is located.

This is how, after being transformed, the body becomes a passage to the abyss.

Although access is impossible, leaks still occur.

If we rely solely on these eerie energies, it would take a long time to slowly transform them. However, this time, with the [Golden Crow (Seed Body)], we can slowly illuminate these dark and eerie energies, quickly harmonize them into "source particles," and then absorb them into the body, transforming them into circles of energy circulating throughout the body.

It started slowly, but got faster and faster.

He Tao's body surface expelled layers of dirt, and her originally lifeless skin began to glow, becoming delicate and fair, as if she had been reborn.

Gradually, those tiny particles gathered in the dantian.

At first, it was just wisps of mist, but it quickly condensed into a ball of air the size of a thumb, and it was slowly getting bigger.

Liu Sheng and He Tao opened their eyes at the same time.

They have already entered the first level of Qi Refining.

In reality, He Tao opened her eyes, touched her body in disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise, but almost fainted from the stench emanating from her own body.

She scrambled into the bathroom, took a refreshing hot shower, and then admired her smooth, fair new skin in the mirror.

"I look like I could be an idol!"

"If you'd like, you can sign up."

"Forget it, my parents won't agree..." He Tao shook her head, "Besides, didn't we say we were going to the First Imperial University together!"

"Yes, but it depends on your wishes."

"I'm willing!" He Tao said almost without hesitation. "Even if it's just to prove something to those unimportant people, I'll do it!"

He Tao's fighting spirit was ignited from who knows where.

Perhaps it was because he was disliked for not being smart enough when he was young.

Or perhaps it was the disdain she felt in the dormitory, especially Zheng Qiran's arrogance.

Or perhaps it's the ridicule I saw online.

In short, He Tao's attitude has changed.

She smiled genuinely at herself in the mirror—and then at Liu Sheng in her heart—and said:
"Thank you!"

"It's nothing, thank you too."

Liu Sheng was sitting in the dream space where He Tao had been imprisoned. He pulled out a chair, turned on the computer, and started browsing the internet.

While He Tao swept the fifteen life-sized dolls off the bed and fell asleep peacefully with her pillow, Liu Sheng was already typing rapidly on the keyboard, writing something.

See how incredibly useful the surveillance network I built is!

"World" immediately chimed in, eager to claim credit, its tone smug and self-satisfied.

"Of course, it's very useful." Liu Sheng replied calmly.

It seems our plans really do align!

Perhaps it's because we were originally one entity.

Deep within their hearts, they tacitly gave each other a high five.

Now you don't have to worry about the "OOC" problem at all.

After all, who in this world could play the role of the "original owner" better than the "original owner"?

After careful consideration, Liu Sheng, who had been working very hard, finally decided to step back and find a way to return the body to He Tao, letting He Tao handle all the trivial matters.

[Abbreviated as "daily life."] "The world" said.

Liu Sheng had many things to deal with and simply didn't have the energy or time to play "house."

As she said, as long as she has internet access, she can handle many things.

I originally planned to set up the network after entering the dream world, but fortunately, "the world" got there first and reliably completed the installation of the Skynet.

In the threshold space, the concept of time is very chaotic.

It's perfect for her when she's pressed for time.

At this moment, the cursor is hovering over a line of text in the document and blinking.

Liu Sheng raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

I refocused and immersed myself in writing the manuscript.
