It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 6: Anything is possible for fun!

The sky at dusk——

It is like a deep and rich palette, with layers of blue and purple tones spreading out layer by layer, interweaving with the warm golden afterglow, seemingly infecting all the dreams and mysteries in the world…

The huge world tree——

It stands proudly in the tranquil and magnificent sunset glow, like a huge green umbrella that reaches from sky to earth. Its trunk is rough and ancient, majestic like a world wall surrounding the courtyard, and its lush branches and leaves shine brightly in the sunset...

Faced with this dreamlike and otherworldly scene, Xia Zhi found it difficult to suppress the joy surging in his heart.

"It's breathtaking!"

He sighed so sincerely.

The scenery before you is so close that you can reach out and touch it.

The world in my field of vision is so vivid, as if every inch of light and shadow is telling of its real existence.

There is no doubt that this is a world that breathes... Hmm, why does this sentence sound familiar?

But it doesn’t matter, this is not the point. The point is that he really escaped from that suffocating cycle of despair! ! He finally saw the light and successfully freed himself from it, and no longer had to face that kind of sober despair!
"You seem very happy..."

Looking at the figure standing by the window with an undisguised smile, Vivian said calmly, and placed the book she brought back on the wooden table next to her. This is her residence, and it looks a bit ordinary.

There are no gorgeous decorations or unique furnishings, but it is filled with a warm feeling that brings peace to the heart.

Judging from the furnishings in the room alone, it is hard to imagine that this is a corner deep in the palace. However, it is the fact that she arranged this place so simply and comfortably according to her own wishes.

"Yes, I am quite happy..."

Xia Zhi did not look back, but leaned on the windowsill, gazing deeply at the magnificent picture far away in the horizon. Although his tone and intonation seemed inexplicably light, his words revealed deep emotion.

"I almost forgot the last time I was so happy..."

The joy was so intense that he couldn't help but worry that it was all just an illusion and when he woke up, there would be nothing left.

Then I will return to that bed and face the familiar and monotonous morning of June 21st again...

It would be better not to give hope from the beginning.

Xia Zhi took a long breath and shook his head gently. He knew that his emotions were fluctuating violently, so his thoughts were inevitably in a mess and he couldn't help but have all kinds of random thoughts, but there was nothing he could do about it.

I really can't calm down at all, and it seems that I am unable to manage my emotions.

Well, no, it's better to say——

The fact that he is still able to remain generally calm and composed, instead of letting himself go like the Monkey King, is proof that he has excellent emotional management skills.

correct!

Xia Zhi seemed to suddenly remember something. Without thinking, he reached into his pocket and took out the cell phone.

The screen lit up at the right time, indicating that even in this world, this delicate device was still powered on and functioning normally, which was undoubtedly comforting news. Xia Zhi blinked and decided to ignore it for the time being.

The first thing he paid attention to was the information content presented on the screen.

The signal and the network disappeared, of course, but this was expected and not surprising, so he was not surprised. What really caught his attention was the time displayed at the top center of the screen.

13: 12.

The date has not changed.

It was a little after noon when he went out. He calculated the time from when he met that mysterious time traveler to when he passed through the "door" and came to this world... The time displayed at this moment was basically consistent with his estimate.

He also obtained similar results by calculating the time through heartbeat, breathing and other physical sensations.

So let's just believe this conclusion and start from this conclusion -

Does this mean that I didn’t waste much time passing through that “door”?
Does this mean that, strictly speaking, my today has not actually passed and this day has not truly ended?
Xia Zhi stared at the time displayed on the screen, as if lost in some kind of contemplation, until the phone automatically went into sleep mode due to long periods of inactivity and the screen turned dark. Then he stretched as if nothing had happened and turned around.

Vivian has been sitting there since just now, quietly without saying a word.

Just look at him.

"Sorry, I lost my composure..." Xia Zhi quickly adjusted his mood, walked forward, pulled a chair over and sat down, looking at the girl, "Let's continue talking about the previous topic."

He reviewed his previous response and felt that he had indeed lost some points.

Despite his drastic emotional fluctuations, he almost instinctively maintained his outward calm and composure, but he felt that his performance was not satisfactory.

Therefore, he decided to be more serious and rigorous next time. With this idea in mind, he began to carefully sort out a series of details from just now to now, evaluate the girl's behavior, try to interpret her intentions, and prepare for cooperation.

Yes, cooperation has become an inevitable choice.

However, he is still unsure why Vivian chose him.

Could it be that he suddenly discovered that he had a passive skill called "low sense of presence" that he didn't know where it came from, and wanted to make himself a spy?

After all, judging from the few words I heard before, it seems that this place is not peaceful either. The local residents seem to divide their forces and territories by clans, and the relationships between the clans are also complicated, giving a sense of dire straits.

At that time, the princess came to the crime scene. As soon as she arrived, she relied on her intuition to lock the imaginary enemy on the spies of other clans. This alert made her quickly decide to blockade the entire Onik, and the orders she issued seemed to be preparing for war.

The fear among them is evident!
However, after Vivian's explanation, the princess quickly accepted that the intruder was not from a local force, but a casual passer-by from a distant world. She breathed a sigh of relief, although she was still cautious, but she was not as ready to go crazy as before...

The level of attention has clearly dropped by more than one level.

Based on such bad diplomatic relations and such tense situation, Xia Zhi felt that his speculation was still very likely.

Just looking at this scene as a whole, it is so abnormal that it can be called funny, and it is full of weirdness and strangeness. If it is put into the original world, it is like a country on Earth that has noticed signs of invasion and mistakenly believes that it is an intentional invasion by the enemy country and is ready to fight to the death.

But when the truth was revealed and it was discovered that it was not a provocation from a neighboring country but the arrival of aliens, the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated and the level of vigilance suddenly dropped.

——No matter how you look at it, such a change seems quite illogical.

Then there is the existence of Vivian, which absolutely cannot be ignored.

The seemingly calm and gentle girl obviously does not play a leadership role in decision-making, but what she says seems to have a certain authority. Once she speaks, others will naturally tend to trust and accept her views.

This was the case with the princess, and it was the same with others. When faced with the information Vivian presented, almost no one questioned the source or credibility of the information. It was as if everyone tacitly agreed that Vivian had some unique ability to verify the authenticity of the information.

His thoughts were like a tide, changing in a complex manner, but Xia Zhi remained calm on the surface. He looked calm and reserved, and looked at the girl in front of him without any concealment.

At first, Vivian was able to look him in the eye calmly and composedly, but as time went on, she was not as calm as Xia Zhi. She frowned and subconsciously looked away.

"You should have guessed it. I really hope to get your help..."

The girl spoke, her voice as sweet as a stream, like a clear spring in the mountains.

"It's just that this matter is not easy. It can even be said to be very difficult. It is also quite dangerous, so I won't force you."

She spoke her thoughts frankly, and her calm and gentle tone was sincere.

"Why don't we be frank and exchange some information before making a decision?" Xia Zhi nodded and made a suggestion. Difficulty is not a problem, and danger is equal to challenge, but these will not be the key to his choice. The real key lies in his own situation after today, which is the decisive factor.

If this day ends, the time loop will bring me back to that bed, and I will face June 21st again...

Then naturally everything would be over. Even if he wanted to kill the thief, he would be powerless to save the situation.

But if this day could pass normally, and he was not rewound, but could welcome tomorrow here, then it would be a completely different situation. If he stayed in this world, he would have to change his way of thinking to look at the problem.

At that time, Vivian's affairs might be his affairs...

After all, they are all on the same boat. If it is a major event that can affect the world, he certainly can't stay out of it.

"Be open and honest?" The girl thought for a moment and nodded. "That's fine too. Let's each ask a question."

She could also take this opportunity to collect more information.

This helps her to judge the person's condition more comprehensively and not be too one-sided.

"Then each of you ask a question. I'll go first—"

Xia Zhi was not surprised. Although the other party gave people the impression of a lady who was knowledgeable but had never seen the outside world, it did not mean that she was naive. This girl still had her own ideas.

"Can you tell me about this world? You know, I just got here and I know nothing about it."

He expressed his demands generously without trying to hide it. After all, he was a time traveler, and he traveled through time under the watchful eyes of the girl opposite him.

"This……"

Vivian frowned slightly. This question was a bit tricky because the things involved could definitely not be clarified in just a sentence or two. If she wanted to explain it clearly, it would be hard to say that it was just "a question."

She glanced at him and pursed her lips: "This is a long story. I can only tell you that this world is... the Fairy Kingdom, a world composed of fairy society, ruled by multiple clans."

"The Fairyland... a world made up of fairies. So, you are also a fairy?"

Xia Zhi's expression didn't change much. He had just followed Vivian all the way from the library back to the palace. He met many residents in the towns he passed along the way and had already learned a lot.

Most "people" are roughly human-like, but have obvious non-human characteristics in certain physical aspects.

He subconsciously thought of the concept of "elves".

Although it has been denied now, the answer seems to be not much different.

"Yes, I am actually a fairy too..." Vivian nodded in admission, but she did not explain her special nature as a fairy.

If you are not good at lying, then don't lie. Just selectively tell part of the truth and keep the rest. This is what she had just learned not long ago from the person in front of her.

"Are there only fairies in this world? No humans?"

Xia Zhi seemed to be thinking about something, and continued to ask very naturally.

"There are, humans are...wait!" Vivian suddenly reacted, was stunned for a moment, and then stared at him with some annoyance.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, just ask!"

The young man blinked shyly and said with a hearty smile.

"..."

"..."

After staring at him for a while, the girl looked away and said unhappily, "Then tell me about your experience before you came here."

Wow, you really put what you learn into practice...

Xia Zhi smiled, recalled his own situation, and slowly began to speak: "My experience is also a long story. Before "today", I have always been an ordinary person, no different from other people..."

"Until today, I found that I was forgotten by time. I stayed in this day forever, over and over again, over and over again, repeating non-stop..."

Vivian listened and observed him carefully, trying to confirm whether this man was telling her the truth or a lie.

The result was pretty good. Although the other party lied about some secrets that might involve personal privacy, he was generally sincere, and her expression softened a lot.

really……

This girl may have some unique ability to verify the authenticity of information...

Xia Zhi was also paying close attention to the girl's expression, and then confirmed his guess. Vivian was still too immature, and she didn't realize that the other party just asked questions continuously, not just to take advantage of her when she couldn't react.

It was more to make her a little angrier and look a little colder so that the changes in her facial expressions could be observed more clearly.

She thought she was observing whether Xia Zhi was lying or being honest.

In fact, Xia Zhi also did the opposite, trying to verify a certain hypothesis by observing her reaction.

"That's basically it..." After summarizing his experience, the young man looked at the person opposite him with a smile, "Is it my turn to ask now?"

"Well... go ahead and ask." Vivian didn't seem to care, nor did she have the intention to ask two more questions. She calmly expressed her confirmation.

"Okay, then let me ask you - what kind of creatures are the fairies in the Fairyland?"

Xia Zhi thought about it and asked this question.

"..."

"..."

For some reason, Vivian fell silent. After a while, she finally spoke: "From a human perspective, they are probably very bad creatures, because fairies have powers far beyond humans, and there is no distinction between good and evil."

"They live only for their 'goals' and act only for 'fun'... I think you can understand how terrible this mentality would be if it were not restrained."

The girl's emerald green eyes stared directly at the young man opposite her——

"Just like you said just now, in that boring cycle, you must have done a lot of things in pursuit of "fun"... including bad things, vicious things, and even outrageous things..."

"..."

"..."

Xia Zhi thought about it and felt that he could indeed understand it.

Bad things...

Vicious things...

Even outrageous things...

"Indeed, for fun, I'll do anything." He raised a finger and scratched his cheek in shame: "I... I hired a group of netizens to give positive reviews to "Three Kingdoms Killing"."
