Su Bai's deep gaze made Shen Qingyue's heart skip a beat.

An ominous premonition rose in her heart.

"The protagonist got a cheat system and beat up his enemies. Isn't this the most standard start to a wish-fulfillment novel? The audience is enjoying it, and the ratings are exploding. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Su Bai leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, making a rhythmic sound.

Instead of answering directly, he asked a question in return.

"And then what? Let him fight his way through the Abandoned Tower and become the King of Night City? And then what? Possess wealth and beautiful women, and live a happy and carefree life?"

"What's wrong with that?" Shen Qingyue was taken aback by the question.

Isn't this the ending that all viewers want to see?

Su Bai chuckled lightly, a hint of cold mockery in his laughter.

"Shen, the campus belle, you still don't understand the cruelty of this world."

As soon as the words were spoken, a new episode of the animation appeared on the screen.

All viewers were still immersed in the ultimate thrill of the previous episode's ending, and the comments section was filled with jubilation.

Here it comes! Waiting for David to unleash his full power!

[I'm predicting this episode will definitely feature a beautiful woman throwing herself at him; a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope!]

[If that old scoundrel Su dares to unleash another attack, I'll... I'll watch it all over again!]

Amidst expectant gazes, the story begins.

The scene didn't fast-forward to David's rampage as the audience expected.

The camera is shaking.

It was on a high-speed maglev train.

David sat alone in the corner, his expression still one of confusion and loneliness.

The thrill of revenge comes quickly and goes quickly.

They defeated the rich kid, but their dead mother would never come back.

His life remained a dark void with no way out.

Just then, a figure nimbly sat down opposite him.

She had short, soft hair like moonlight and a face so exquisite it seemed unreal.

And those eyes that see through everything, yet carry a hint of detachment.

Lucy.

She entered David's world like a ray of moonlight, without warning.

[Holy crap! The female lead is here! She's so beautiful!]

[These looks! You can always trust Su Laozei's taste!]

[It's here! Is the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plot coming?!]

The audience's DNA was stirred.

However, the next second, everyone was dumbfounded.

Lucy showed no affection for David. Instead, like a cunning fox, she cleverly stole all the chips from David in an instant.

【Wait, how come the female lead is a thief?】

[I can't accept this! My innocent male lead just lost his mother, and you're stealing from him?!]

Wait, something's wrong! Look behind you!

Following the directions of the comments, viewers saw several menacing-looking company security guards walking towards them.

It turns out that Lucy stole the company's data.

David was just an unlucky guy she conveniently used as a shield.

The two men, pursued by security guards, began a frantic escape on the speeding train.

Lucy's agility was unbelievable, and in desperation, David activated the Sinwiss once again!

"Buzz!"

That familiar sound effect that sent chills down the spines of all the audience rang out once again!

The world slowed down instantly!

This time, it's not just about revenge.

In slow-motion bullet time, David grabs Lucy just as she's about to fall off the roof of the car.

Their fingertips touched in the distorted neon light.

At that moment, they could only see each other.

A dangerous yet fascinating chemical reaction quietly blossoms between two lonely souls.

[Aaaaaah! I take back what I just said! This couple is locked in for good!]

[A mysterious, highly skilled older woman and a pure-hearted young man with extraordinary abilities—this premise is so captivating!]

[Old Su, you seem to know a lot!]

The climax of the plot arrives after the two successfully escape.

To repay David, or perhaps out of a bit of curiosity, Lucy invited David to experience her treasured Mewtwo.

The scene changes.

One second it was a dirty and chaotic Night City.

next second.

It is an incredibly magnificent lunar surface.

Here, there is none of the endless hustle and bustle of Night City.

In the harmonious tranquility, one can see a breathtakingly beautiful blue planet hanging in the universe in the distance.

In a weightless environment, the two people jumped and ran clumsily like children.

That moment of tranquility and freedom formed the most extreme contrast with the oppressive and suffocating Night City that followed.

The audience was stunned.

Even through the screen, they could almost feel the peace and tranquility of their souls being cleansed.

My God...this is so beautiful...

If this is healing, I'd be willing to be healed for the rest of my life.

I cried, really. Seeing this scene made all the pent-up emotions I had been suppressing vanish.

In the dream world, Lucy gazed quietly at her blue homeland.

Her profile, illuminated by the Earth's light, was breathtakingly beautiful.

"I've always wanted to come here."

She spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability that was barely perceptible.

"Leave Night City, go to a truly quiet place."

David looked at her, at this girl he had only known for less than a day, yet who seemed to have been entangled with him for a lifetime.

The fire of revenge that had just been ignited in the boy's heart was unknowingly covered by another, even more intense emotion.

He looked into Lucy's eyes and made a promise with an unprecedented seriousness.

"I will take you there."

The background music began to play softly at just the right moment.

That gentle, slightly melancholic melody, like an invisible hand, precisely plucked the heartstrings of every audience member.

Both on and off screen, countless people were moved to tears.

[Waaaaah... Su, you old scoundrel, I wronged you! You're not even a human being!]

This is true healing! Using the most exquisite romance to heal the most intense pain!

[I declare this to be the best couple of the year, no arguments allowed! Please, please don't kill them off!]

In the Storm Game screening room, Adam stood up excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Genius! Absolutely a genius!"

He looked at his subordinates beside him, his voice trembling with excitement.

"He understands! He understands so well! He knows what the audience needs after the repression! It's romance! It's love! Why did our game fail? Because we only have cold cities, not souls that can evoke empathy!"

Inside the healing animation company, everyone was in tears.

The young animators wiped away their tears while looking at the comments section in the backstage area, which was completely flooded with comments from people who were "moved" by the story, and smiled knowingly.

Shen Qingyue also covered her mouth, her eyes red-rimmed.

She turned her head to look at the man who had remained expressionless throughout, her voice tinged with a sob and a sense of relief.

"Su Bai, this time, you've finally done something decent."

She thought that this was Su Bai's answer.

Use a beautiful love to save the boy who has fallen into the abyss.

However, Su Bai simply watched the frenzied comments on the screen and the data in the background that had soared to an all-time high due to the sweet moments.

A cold, unnoticed curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head, looked at Shen Qingyue whose face was full of emotion, and spoke calmly.

"You think this is sugar?"

Shen Qingyue was taken aback.

Su Bai slowly shook his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen, landing on the boy who had made the promise, his eyes filled with a hint of pity.

He muttered softly to himself.

"No."

"This is something I carefully prepared for him, and for all the audience members."

"The sharpest knife."
