An infinite journey starting from paradise

She was humming, like a meaningless moan, but also like she was urging Lin Shangren to go faster.

Looking at Teacher Aoi's flushed face, her red lips dripping with saliva, her trembling crimson tongue, her throat opening and closing like a clam...

Looking at such a charming scene, Lin Shangren couldn't help but have wild thoughts... uh... fantasies.

"Teacher... I'm sorry. It might be a little big... Please bear with it..."

Chapter 7: Let the data overflow

[Proceed to the next stage.]

[Unlocking conditions being determined...]

"Cough cough cough... vomit... cough cough..."

Accompanied by the cold mechanical synthesized sound, Teacher Aoi began to retch and cough continuously.

Lin Shangren had already removed the nose hook and mouth opener on her face, but even so, she still looked extremely miserable and lewd: a mixture of saliva and filth hung from the corners of her mouth, and her nostrils were filled with tears and white urine.

Lin Shangren patted Teacher Aoi on the back and asked with concern: "Teacher, are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine... cough cough... my throat just feels a little uncomfortable. Lin, could you please step aside for a moment? This... is really embarrassing." Teacher Aoi asked in a hoarse voice.

"Sorry."

"Cough cough... ugh..."

The nausea that had been lingering in her throat surged again, and Teacher Aoi began to dry heave again. However, she was unable to spit out anything.

One reason is that Teacher Aoi's throat is different from that of ordinary people: when stimulated, she will not instinctively retch but will swallow unconsciously. In addition, her throat has circles of circular muscles, and anything entering and exiting it will encounter considerable resistance.

More crucially, what she swallowed was merely a set of virtual data. Like any normal computer game item, it wouldn't render unless the console saw it. So, while Aoi felt like she'd swallowed a hearty, warm mess and even felt a bit full, in reality, there was nothing.

"Can't produce anything?... As expected, the computing power of the thing simulating the world behind the scenes is limited, so they try to save as much as possible on the details. Perhaps we can use this common sense to cause it to overflow its memory and crash."

That’s right, Lin Shangren chose deep throat and then infusion just to verify this point, and it was definitely not because he wanted to try what the throat felt like.

"The question is, if the system in the simulation crashes, what will happen to me and them? Will we wake up in the real world or die in reality?"

Lin Shangren fell into deep thought again.

[Unlock condition determination completed.]

[Judgment: Success.]

[This room provides a shower room and a change of clothes. You can choose to clean the keyhole yourself.]

[After cleaning, please move to the main room and wait for the next stage of the game.]

"Om..."

A noisy mechanical sound was heard, and a small door opened in the corner of the white room. There was a simple shower facility inside, and spare clothes that were exactly the same as the OL uniform worn by Teacher Aoi were also placed there.

"Teacher, are you feeling better?" Lin Shangren asked.

"Can you lend me your shoulder?"

Lin Shangren didn't say anything. He took Teacher Kui's hand and helped her up. Teacher Kui also put her arm around Lin Shangren's shoulder.

"Thank you," Teacher Aoi said. "You really didn't hesitate just now. You gave me a fright."

"Feel sorry."

"Ah... don't get me wrong, I'm not angry, nor do I mean to blame you. If you don't do your job well, you won't be able to pass. If that happens, we, and those children...

So, we need to avoid the situation of game over."

Teacher Aoi forced a smile, as if to comfort Lin Shangren, or to comfort herself: "In short, in order to survive, we have to keep working hard... Does that seem a bit strange? Haha..."

"She's a gentle person, if this is reality." Lin Shangren thought to himself, "Is it an act or a true expression of her feelings? What is her hidden identity?"

Lin Shangren helped Teacher Kui stagger into the shower room. While Teacher Kui was taking a shower, Lin Shangren began to organize and review the situation.

"Currently known information: This is a virtual world simulated by the so-called Paradise System, and there is an unknown entity called 'Sleeping Beauty' that is closely related to it.

I lost my memory for three days.

I don't know why I am in this virtual world and am forced to play this game with an unknown purpose.

My perception of the identities of everyone present was implanted by the amusement park and is most likely false.

It is highly likely that Fan Kariye and Manaka Kazuaki know the inside story.

The sail-cutting leaf is an enemy, while the Albizia julibrissin may be a friend.

Teacher Aoi has a hidden identity, which is currently unknown.

Byakuya Rinone and Shiba Rika have not been tested yet.

The most important thing is that the computing power of this paradise system is limited. It may be flawed, or incomplete... incomplete?"

Lin Shangren's expression suddenly became stern, and a guess emerged in his mind.

"System, open the task panel."

Looking at the task panel [Find out the truth about the world (60%)], Lin Shangren expressed his guess in his heart.

"This is a virtual world simulated by the Paradise System. But the Paradise System is not perfect, and the purpose of this game is to improve it. And the key to perfecting the system... is in me, or is related to me."

Goal 1: Find out the truth about the world (65%)

"Only a 5% increase in progress... Wait."

Lin Shangren looked at the meaningless word "Sleeping Beauty".

"Is all this related to 'Sleeping Beauty'? Is Sleeping Beauty the key to the park's system? My three-day experience was also related to 'Sleeping Beauty'?"

This time, the progress of the task panel suddenly increased from 65% to 80%!

"I'm connected to Sleeping Beauty... All of this is to improve the park's system." Lin Shangren rubbed his neck, thinking hard. "Although I've deduced this information based on the system's feedback, I still have no idea what the so-called 'Sleeping Beauty' is. System, can you give me a hint?"

Abba, Abba, Abba

"..."

Lin Shangren was once again silenced by his own system.

"So what exactly is your role?"

【…】

【It will be useful in the future, please don’t despise me. π_π】

"Well, I'll just have to rely on myself."

……

After Aoi-sensei finished washing herself, she and Hayashi Naoto returned to the main room.

As they returned, the robotic synthesized voice began to explain the next step.

[Please unlock the keyhole and proceed to the first isolation door.]

[The unlocker and the unlocked keyhole have been confirmed]

The indicator light on the door turned from red to green, and then opened lightly. On the other side of the door was still a pure white room.

[The first round is over, and the next round begins.]

[The break time will be shown on the display.]

A bright red countdown began on the display in the center of the main room, marking the one-hour break.

Everyone present gathered in front of the isolation door. Hokariya and Rika stood together. Rika pressed close to Hokariya's body, looking very dependent on her.

Byakuya Rinone, Hehuan and Teacher Aoi stood apart, keeping a certain distance.

"Are you all tired? It's best to find a way to rest during this hour. I hope there's a place to rest in this room..."

Teacher Aoi, who was the most tired, did not let anyone feel her tiredness when she spoke.

Bai Ye Linyin said: "Before that, I want to investigate and confirm the situation first."

"Ah, I don't think there's any need to confirm." He Huan interrupted Bai Ye Lin Yin's words, "As long as we follow the rules that voice explains, we will be safe, right?"

"We really have no choice but to abide by these unreasonable rules now. I have no objection to that. But I don't think it's futile to look for other ways out." Bai Ye Linyin replied.

"Rika...Rika has had enough...this kind of thing...is there no way to escape?"

"Anyone who thinks of escaping is already dead~" Hehuan said in a bad tone.

In response to Hehuan's harsh words, Lixiang whimpered softly and hid behind Fan Kariye.

Hokariya protected Rika and then said to Hehuan, "Manaka-san, please don't joke about this kind of thing."

"Ahhhh, the protector is angry~"

"Everyone, stop arguing. You're just feeling anxious because you're too tired. Take a break, okay?"

Although Teacher Aoi said so, the people present did not quite buy it.

"Excuse me, I want to investigate this room first."

Leaving this sentence, Bai Ye Linyin walked into the new room first.

"Then I'll go look around. I'm a little thirsty, and I wonder if the guy who captured us has prepared any food or drinking water."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren also left the crowd and began to investigate.

"There are currently two options: continue passively playing this game, uncover the truth, complete the system mission, and then use the system rewards to escape back to the original universe. Alternatively, you can proactively create some 'bugs' to paralyze the paradise system in the simulated world and try to return to the real world first..."

As he paced and pondered, Lin Shangren suddenly noticed a bucket in the corner of the new room with the words "Drinking Water" written on the blue bucket.

Lin Shangren didn't see any cups or other drinking utensils. It seemed that he wanted people to kneel on the ground and drink directly with their mouths or hold the cup in their hands.

"No matter how you drink it, it makes people feel uncomfortable. The person who designed the game really has a bad taste." Lin Shangren thought.

"Are we being treated like beasts, prisoners, or slaves?"

Bai Ye Linyin's emotionless voice sounded beside Lin Shangren.

"These rules, this facility... everything seems to be trying to strip us of our dignity and rationality. It's reducing us to the status of wild beasts."

"Yes, it's indeed excessive." Lin Shangren agreed.

"By the way, have you found anything else?" Lin Shangren continued to ask.

"that."

Bai Ye Linyin pointed to the other end of the room, where several other people had gathered.

"what is that?"

Chapter 8: The bitter taste of a pig's sudden advance and the dry eating of revenge

"A piece of glass, and on the other side is a very luxurious room."

Lin Shangren looked in the direction of Bai Ye Linyin's finger and found that there was a large piece of glass on the wall over there, like a window.

Rika was looking inside with her palms and cheek pressed tightly against the glass. It felt like a child looking through a Christmas window. It was completely inappropriate in this environment.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Bai Ye Linyin asked.

"Yeah." Lin Shangren nodded.

"Senior! Senior! The rooms in here are super luxurious!" Lixiang greeted Lin Shangren excitedly.

"Wow... It's so beautiful, just like a princess' bedroom. A beautiful chandelier, a bed that looks so soft, and a delicious meal on the table..."

Just as Lixiang had said, it felt like a princess's room in a noble castle. The table was covered in plates and an ice bucket. Inside, several bottles of chilled wine sat. Just thinking about it made Lin Shangren swallow uncontrollably.

"If only I could get in..." Rika muttered.

Bai Ye Lin Yin said coldly: "The door is locked, and, considering the evil taste of the organizer of this game, they might ask us to pay something before letting us in."

"Yeah~ Maybe they want us to sacrifice one of their people before they let us in. In order for us to have a big meal, will you sacrifice yourself, Rika-chan?" Hehuan teased Rika in a playful tone.

"Ugh...Ms. Manaka-senpai...please don't bully Rika..."

"What a feast..."

Rather than a big meal, Lin Shangren now wants to drink a glass of iced drink, whether it is iced wine, juice or carbonated drink, he wants to drink something cold.

"Once I escape, I will definitely drink several bottles of iced orange soda." Lin Shangren said in a low voice.
