Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

Fu Hua said softly:

"That's fine. He was your mentor in martial arts, so it's only right to respect your teacher."

"About my home, Su Qing'an? I don't know if that place can still be considered home."

"You should have heard about my background at the academy, but I don't want to lie to you."

"I can only tell you that, like many of St. Freya's students, I have no family left in this world."

"The only place I can go is that dwelling place that holds the weight of bygone years. It's similar to what you feel, but also different. It's no longer home."

"Therefore, whether to go or not is not important."

"For me, it might be more interesting to see this land with you, right? So, in the end, I'll take you there."

Su Qing'an nodded slightly, suppressing the agitation that arose within him because of those words, indicating that he understood.

These words are truly thought-provoking. Even though the boy's surface remained as calm as ever, a silent yet massive tsunami had been raging within him.

The girl suddenly frowned and looked out the window. She had a good memory; the scenery outside was completely different from the route she had taken back. However, unfamiliar with the city, she couldn't be sure if this was another route. She said softly:

"By the way, Su Qing'an, this road..."

He looked at the location on the map app on his phone and realized something was wrong.

This isn't the way to the airport at all; there's definitely something wrong with this taxi.

The driver, who had remained silent, seemed to have anticipated the two men's reactions. He turned off the radio that was playing the news and then pressed the microphone on his chest.

A recording was clearly transmitted in the not-so-spacious space.

[Ahem, can you hear me? This is your lovely headmistress, Theresa Apocalypse.]

[The fact that you can hear this recording proves that during your time in Canghai City, you didn't use any of the routes I planned, allowing you to have a truly enjoyable holiday.]

Although I expected you all to be like this, I'm still in a difficult position, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

[Su Qing'an, you've disappointed the headmaster.]

Anyway, don't even think about getting off the bus. Your destination is the Houmu theme park, so consider it as buying me some local specialties. Please make sure you enjoy your holiday!

Well then, my dear students. See you at the academy.

The recording ended there, and the girl hummed a cheerful melody, clearly in a good mood.

The two looked at each other, and finally let out a sigh that was hard to tell whether it was helplessness or amusement.

Fu Hua asked with some doubt:

"Principal Theresa is strangely enthusiastic about our holiday arrangements."

Su Qing'an nodded silently. He thought to himself that it would be hard for someone with Hua Zheng's serious way of thinking to think about the other party's approach of using the matchmaker god to tie the knot.

Let's cut to the present moment.

The boy unfolded the amusement park map in his hand, looked at the dozens of amusement facilities on it, and fell into deep thought.

Although she reluctantly agreed to the headmaster's suggestion to stroll around the amusement park before leaving, Su Qing'an, who had never been to such a date-like place alone with a woman before, was completely at a loss for what to do.

The girl glanced at the map, pointed to a spot on it, and said:

"Principal Theresa said she wanted to bring her some local specialties, so let's go to these challenge levels with rewards."

Su Qing'an looked at the project introduction she was pointing to with a quiet gaze.

[The must-ride roller coaster at Houmu Theme Park! Reaching speeds of 90km/h, this thrilling and exhilarating ride will give you an unforgettable experience. Its 1700-meter length will leave you with an unforgettable memory.]

[The ride features numerous curves and a maximum incline of 121 degrees, offering a thrilling experience similar to piloting a fighter jet. However, it is not recommended for passengers with heart conditions. Of course, we also welcome visitors who enjoy scenic views; the beautiful scenery along the ride offers a unique perspective from the roller coaster.]

This roller coaster is absolutely, completely, not relaxing at all; it doesn't fit the idea of ​​having a relaxing and enjoyable holiday at all.

However, with martial arts now largely self-contained, Su Qing'an is indifferent to things of this level. He was completely unmoved when he first flew a plane, so how could he be intimidated by something of this level?

However, riding a roller coaster with Hua, something that couples would do, still made his heart beat faster than usual, and his restless mood broke the tranquility of his mind.

Compared to roller coasters, a Ferris wheel at dusk is clearly better.

Barely managing to rein in his wandering thoughts, after reviewing the basic information, he looked at the reason why Fu Hua had said those words.

[Anyone who can ride the ride three times in a row without making a sound or showing any fear will receive a mystery gift related to Houmu! All tourists are welcome to participate.]

Su Qing'an nodded and said:

"That certainly fits the criteria. Hua shouldn't be afraid of roller coasters, right?"

Fu Hua smiled and said jokingly:

"I might have been afraid of this kind of thing tens of thousands of years ago."

Tens of thousands of years is too far in the future. If we had to say it, it would be too abstract and unrealistic. So it's not unreasonable to consider it a joke. In fact, for ordinary people, it's just a little joke. After all, who would take such an unrealistic number as the truth?

But for Su Qing'an, who understood some things, these words were of great significance. He now knew that perhaps some truths could only be casually uttered in jest.

This also shows that Fu Hua is willing to let down her guard and vigilance towards him, which also demonstrates that he has already gained some status in her heart.

To her, I was not just a passerby.

Upon realizing this fact, Su Qing'an felt both more cheerful and somewhat sentimental.

He once basked in the same sunlight as that girl from 50,000 years ago, resisting the fear from the same source.

The naive Fu Hua, whose bones were filled with fear and confusion, and the immortal before him, who had been tempered into this state after experiencing all kinds of suffering.

These two are now separated by mountains and seas, and by a distance of 50,000 years.

Some things, in the end, fade away with time.

But the sun was shining brightly at that moment, and a gentle breeze eventually blew the strands of hair from the girl's forehead. She blinked unconsciously, and her clear eyes reflected the smile on the face of the person in front of her after hearing her words.

Amidst the bustling crowd, the young man smiled at the beautiful woman and said:

"Let's go ride the roller coaster, Hua."

If he extends his hand to me at this moment, would I hold it?

In a daze, the girl seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago, where an enchanting and ambiguous atmosphere would suddenly appear between the two of them and then disappear at any moment.

The thought brought Fu Hua to her senses, and the sunlight falling on her skin seemed to become hotter.

That fleeting, instantaneous sensation was too faint, yet it carried an itch like a feather brushing against the heart.

Gradually nurturing the budding emotions in her consciousness, this alluring sin not only eroded Su Qing'an's heart, but even the more aloof Fu Hua herself could not escape its influence.

The less guarded she was of Su Qing'an, the more likely something would seize the opportunity to plunder all her resources, eventually growing and sprouting to a point that she could hardly control, directly attacking her very core.

But now, that time is still very, very far away.

But... one thing is certain.

Fu Hua doesn't dislike Su Qing'an.

The girl coughed twice, as if awkwardly trying to hide some emotions, and then she said softly:

"it is good."

135. Love is like a roller coaster.

Love is actually quite similar to a roller coaster. The ups and downs and constantly changing trajectory are like finding a subtle position, while the direction remains the same.

Many people probably wouldn't understand this sentence.

The person who said this must be a pessimist.

He follows the typical case of most relationships that are destined to end abruptly along the way as the correct outcome of love, using the extreme speed and undulating track of a roller coaster as a metaphor for the twists and turns and surprises in love, while the final destination means that separation will come sooner or later.

Unless the train derails, you two can't stay together forever.

The average accident rate for roller coasters worldwide is less than one in 100,000.

It is evident how pessimistic the person who said this was about love, but he undoubtedly also acknowledged that the pleasure of being in love is far beyond what normal entertainment can offer.

The boy nervously touched the safety device securing his body with his fingertips.

Su Qing'an was naturally not nervous about the roller coaster ride that was about to begin.

A speed of 90 kilometers per hour is not even as fast as his maximum speed when he fully activates [Thousand Stars]. He can destroy this so-called safety facility as easily as tearing paper with his own skills.

Therefore, Su Qing'an was only nervous about the person he was doing this with.

The boy secretly glanced at Fu Hua, who was looking at him with a hint of curiosity, and found her unusual appearance quite adorable.

The two didn't have to wait in line for long before getting on this ride, which should theoretically be extremely popular.

Quite coincidentally, almost all the tourists who boarded the bus with them were couples.

In this way, their rather immature performance, coupled with their striking good looks, made them quite eye-catching.

They didn't hold hands and spoke very little, yet their every move exuded an ambiguous atmosphere that was clearly visible to outsiders.

He chimed in:

"Has Hua never ridden this before?"

Fu Hua thought for a moment after hearing this, then said softly:

"Maybe before, but I've forgotten."

"But even if it did exist, it was a very, very long time ago."

A flicker of expectation flashed in her clear eyes; perhaps Theresa had inadvertently grasped her preferences.

Even though Fu Hua may seem a bit rigid to some, that doesn't mean she doesn't have things she likes.

When she was truly young, the girl named Hua was an ordinary person who could express her own preferences in her heart and could smile without hesitation.

However, in the rest of her life, filled with many misfortunes, she lost the right to have these things.

But now, for some reason, during the days she was with Su Qing'an, her heart seemed to have become a little more lively, no longer as lifeless and stagnant as before.

Noticing the smile on Su Qing'an's lips and her gaze, the girl looked away and said somewhat awkwardly, "..."

"Ahem, but perhaps this kind of game wouldn't be that interesting for us?"

Su Qing'an said frankly:

"It's okay, we came for the Headmaster's Homura merchandise."
