"These teacups look expensive."

Picking up the teapot filled with hot water, Shengyan Noah poured some light yellow fragrant tea into the cup in front of Lin Qiusheng, and explained with a smile:

"Sensei, you guessed correctly. These tea sets and the tea leaves used were all gifts from Trinity College after our temporary cooperation with them."

"It is said that this set of teacups would cost 10 million federal coins based on their market value."

"By the way, the tea leaves used are also very precious. They are picked from a cave inside the Shanhaijing Academy, and only about 50 grams can be produced each year."

"Ten million federal coins... and we can only produce fifty grams of tea a year. This thing is more expensive than my life..."

Looking at the porcelain cup and tea in front of him, Lin Qiusheng pursed his lips and winked for a while, and began to think about whether the salary he got in Xia Lai was enough for him.

Saiyu Midori and Hanaoka Yuzu seemed to be frightened by Namahio Noah's explanation. Their right hands holding the teacups couldn't stop shaking, and they finally put them back on the coffee table with the help of Hayase Yuuka.

"Sensei, don't worry. The value of these items is nothing more than an overvaluation and hunger marketing by capitalism. For us, these tea sets and tea leaves have no specific value."

"There's no problem even throwing them away now. Feel free to use them. If you really like them, you can take them away and sell them later."

"Well, I'm so sorry, hehe." Lin Qiusheng replied politely.

He held the porcelain cup carefully in his hand, feeling elated as he imagined the scene of fulfilling his desire after selling this set of tea sets.

Diao Yue Liyin, who was sitting behind the desk, stopped typing on the keyboard, closed the tablet, stood up from her seat, walked towards everyone, and sat on the sofa in front of Lin Qiusheng.

"Hehe, how can I be left out at a time like this~"

The illusory black mist condensed on the sofa to Lin Qiusheng's right, and finally gathered into a figure that made him very disgusted.

"Heifu, what are you doing here? Join in the fun?"

The dark and serious suit and the face full of evil smile looked absolutely awkward no matter how you looked at it. It laughed "Kukuku" and raised its clenched right fist and extended its index finger towards Shengyan Noah.

At the same time, he looked in the direction of Lin Qiusheng and explained:

"Please don't mind me. As I said before, as a bystander, I will naturally not miss your current conversation with that girl."

"Although I already have an idea of ​​the general content of the subsequent conversation, I still want to witness it with my own eyes."

"So you're a stalker, right?" The man in black smiled his usual wicked smile and remained silent.

Putting the teapot engraved with golden patterns back on the cart, Noah Namishio picked up a transparent container filled with black liquid and poured it into the tea cups in front of Tiaoyue Liyin, Heifu, Hayase Yuka and others.

"Sensei seems to be feeling unwell, so I specially chose warm tea to soothe her."

"President Liyin, Yuuka, and Kurofu may need to deal with work later, so I've chosen coffee for everyone. As for the people in the game development department, here are yogurt, orange juice, cola, and Sprite."

"Xiaotao, Xiaolu, and Yuzu, which one would you like?"

"...Of course it's Coke!" The three little ones looked at each other and answered in unison.

"As expected of Noah, he's so thoughtful."

While eating the snacks on the plate and drinking the warm and slightly scalding tea in small sips, Lin Qiusheng let out a long breath, and unknowingly, the restlessness in his heart was slowly calmed down.

The man in black sitting on his right elegantly picked up the spoon from the sugar bowl and dropped sugar pieces into the dark liquid one by one. Then he added some milk to the coffee.

"Hey, Heifu, you're a villain, so why do you like sweets? Get rid of this bad habit."

"Hmm? Sensei, you seem to have some prejudice against us. You might as well say that villains should eat sweets to soothe their tired souls after a tiring day of work and research. That's what we call a cute contrast!"

The words that shouldn't have come out of Heifu's mouth made Lin Qiusheng feel a chill. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at Diao Yue Linyin beside them as if they remembered something.

At this moment, she took a sip of the slightly hot black coffee in her right hand, and when she saw the eyes cast on her, she explained expressionlessly:

"Each sugar cube contains 20 calories. Long-term consumption can lead to obesity and many other unhealthy conditions."

"If you want to relieve fatigue caused by work, you can use citric acid or acidic foods in small amounts and multiple times."

"Studies have shown that acidic foods can help stimulate more intense thinking when the brain is tired."

As she spoke, she placed a cylindrical plastic bottle on the coffee table in front of everyone. There seemed to be white flakes inside, which should be the acidic substance that Liyin mentioned.

However, this kind of packaging feels like something that cannot be described in words. Ye Zhu must not see this scene, otherwise there will be big trouble.

Namishio Noah had his usual smile on his face, holding a cup full of coffee, and sat between Hayase Yuuka and Hanaoka Yuzu.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Tiao Yue Linyin put the teacup with a little white mist back into the porcelain plate, and took the initiative to start a conversation with Lin Qiusheng and others.

"Well, sensei, enough small talk, let's get back to the topic we were talking about."

Well, after wasting so much time, it's time to get down to business.

"Then, Xiaotao, Xiaolu, and Youzi, it's your turn." Lin Qiusheng patted their backs gently, encouraging them to move forward.

However, Saiwa Momoi didn't seem to have learned her lesson from the punishment that Hayase Yuuka had given her before. She jumped off the sofa and stood in front of everyone, pointing her finger at everyone sitting there.

"You're an idiot! You're an idiot too! You're an idiot too! You're all idiots!!!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that even I would be blamed."

"Why am I included?" The man in black drank his sugar-filled coffee calmly. Lin Qiusheng grinned with a puzzled look on his face, not understanding why he had also become one of the idiots.

"I don't care if Alice is the commander of some incomprehensible army or a world-destroying demon king. I only know that she is our most important partner in the game development department!"

"I will never allow you to destroy Alice's aura with a bomb! If you want to do anything to her, just step over me!"

Cai Yu Taojing frowned slightly, and the fiery red flames in her pink eyes were burning wildly, spreading as rapidly as her high emotions.

But, Xiaotao, if you don't say this on the bridge, it will be of no use.

Saiwa Midori was also moved by Saiwa Momoi's declaration, and she and Hanaoka Yuzu stood beside her, with their small hands clenched into fists hanging at both sides of their bodies.

"Sister, you're right. Using such uncertain facts to determine someone else's future, is this still the principle that Millennium Institute of Technology has always adhered to?!"

"I will never allow that kind of thing!"

"Alice...is our partner. She was the first person to find the game we made fun. She will never let you hurt her!"

Diao Yue Liyin looked at the petite girl in front of her with a childish face.

Although they were still young, their eyes were now gleaming with a resolute determination, and they mustered up the courage to fight in order not to lose.

As if approving of the unyielding spirit of Saiyu Momoi and the others in saving their companions, she tucked her chin in and revealed a faint smile, but the emotion that had just appeared on her face quietly disappeared, and she stared directly at the Saiyu sisters and Hanaoka Yuzu with her bright red eyes that were as emotionless as the abyss.

"I have sensed your awareness and feelings, but the problem is back to square one."

"What will you do when the consciousness of the celestial being Alice is devoured by KEI, the princess of the nameless gods, and she gains all her power and intends to destroy the world?"

Diao Yue Liyin didn't seem to intend to wait for their answer. Instead, she stood up from the sofa and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk, looking down at the city that never sleeps, which was once full of twinkling lights, and the Millennium Science and Technology College that was now reduced to ruins.

"Just this morning, word spread among the colleges in Kivotos that the machines exported by Millennium Technology College to other colleges were out of control."

"For this academy, technology is its lifeline. Once rumors of machines going out of control spread among the academies, no one will use them anymore."

“Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will eventually take root and sprout.”

"When the Millennium Institute of Technology, its sole foundation, disappears, this institute will perish in an instant, swallowed up and divided by other institutes."

"There's nothing we can do about this, because it's the fault of the president of this academy for not taking action in time to prevent this from happening."

Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 188: Their Resoluteness

"But now, it's not too late."

Tiaoyue Liyin looked back at the three members of the game development department, her gaze swept over them and fixed on Lin Qiusheng, Hayase Yuka, and Namiya Noah who had stood up at some point.

"Destroy Tendo Alice before she is completely consumed by the consciousness of the nameless princess, KEI. This is my final duty as the president of this academy, the Millennium Technology Academy Seminar."

"After this incident, I will resign as the seminar president and assume all responsibilities... Hayase Yuuka."

The girl shuddered when her name was suddenly called. At this moment, she seemed to no longer be the "cold computer user of Millennium Institute of Technology", but had returned to the girl in junior high school who was helpless to her surroundings.

She clenched her hands into fists nervously, hanging them at her sides, and looked at the extremely familiar figure in front of her with a hoarse voice.

"Liyin, President..."

"You will be the president of the next Millennium Science and Technology Academy Seminar. With Shengyan Noah assisting you and Xialai sensei's help, this academy will definitely return to its former glory."

"I believe it so much."

The words echoing in his ears connected one by one and condensed into similar words. Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but think of the problem he had discussed with Diao Yue Linyin before.

There is a madman holding the levers, and you need to decide whether to sacrifice the majority to protect one person, or sacrifice one person for the majority.

This is one of the questions to think about with the trolley problem.

Now, Tiao Yue Liyin has placed herself on the railroad tracks, wanting to sacrifice herself to save everyone and protect this thousand-year-old technology college that is like a candle in the wind.

"Sensei from Xialai, Saiwa Momoi, Saiwa Midori, and Hanaoka Yuzu from the game development department, after hearing what I have said, do you still intend to stop my next move?"

What Diao Yue Liyin just said was like a hammer, hitting everyone's mind heavily. This was something they had never expected.

Their capricious justice becomes extremely fragile under the trade-offs and choices made in the cruel reality, like a candle in the wind, small and insignificant, disappearing and shattering at the touch.

The man in black, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, witnessed everyone's conversation, tightly gripping the armrests on both sides of the sofa.

Excitement and joy blossomed like flowers on the dark face, and the single eye emitting white light was now wide open, staring at the tall figure.

As the protagonist of this world, the only one on this planet, his every choice and every action will change the direction of the world and move towards the unknown.

This is also one of the reasons why the black suits have always respected Lin Qiusheng.

Witnesses come to bear witness, and recorders are born to remember. As a bystander, it is our obligation to record everything that is happening now.

The dark, straight figure swayed slightly, and the man in black stood up from the sofa. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Lin Qiusheng's back, with a crazy smile on his face.

Its left hand was behind its back, and its right hand was stretched out towards the void beside it, trembling uncontrollably.

"Come on, sensei, tell me your answer!"

“…Haha, so that’s how it is.”

Lin Qiusheng grinned helplessly and shook his head, gently patted the shoulders of Saiwa Momoi and Hayase Yuka beside him, took a step forward and got ahead of everyone, facing Tiaoyue Liyin, and took out the Shiting Box from the lining of his suit.

He tapped his finger on the dark screen and called softly.

"Alona."

"I'm here, sensei, you can command me."

The azure light poured down from the lit screen and condensed into a petite and lively figure. She held a cloth like a white sheet tightly in her arms and moved closer to Lin Qiusheng.

The light floating above the girl's head turned into a heart emitting pink light as her emotions fluctuated.

Lin Qiusheng took the neatly folded clothes from Alona's hands without hesitation, held the collar with both hands, drew a semicircle in the air, and draped it over his shoulders.

He stretched out his right hand to his side, passed it through his sleeve, and put on the Xialai uniform that he thought would cause trouble and had been thrown into the dusty space inside the Shiting Box.

He raised his hand again, took out a palm-sized transparent ID card from his suit pocket and swung it around his collar. He raised his hand and gently stroked the glasses that had slipped off his nose. He looked at the girl in front of him and shrugged helplessly.

"Hmph, even though I hate working, now doesn't seem like the time to complain. Dealing with issues between colleges is part of Xia Lai's job. Don't add to my workload without my permission. I've already agreed that my overtime pay is very expensive~"

"Regarding the issue of the Millennium Institute of Technology exporting out-of-control machinery to other academies, leave it to me to handle!"

Facing Lin Qiusheng's decision, the uneasiness and panic on Hayase Yuuka's face turned into a smile intertwined with joy and excitement. She gently tugged at his sleeve and asked:

"Sensei, is there really no problem?"

"That's about it. From now on, it's just a matter of money and favors. Even if I have to kneel down and lick your shoes, I will definitely complete the task that needs to be completed."

"After all, I don't believe in overtime."

It was because of Lin Qiusheng's nonchalant answer and expression that Hayase Yuuka felt very uneasy and worried. She sighed deeply and murmured:

"Sen, sensei, you don't have to go to that extent. Besides, isn't it all because of your procrastination that Xia Lai has had to work overtime to complete the work so far?"

"Well, okay, Yuuka, please don't ruin my speech. It took me so long to say something so serious."

The man in black beside him also walked slowly to his side, crossed his arms in front of his chest, supported his chin with his right hand, and looked up and down at Lin Qiusheng with his single eye emitting white light.

"Haha, indeed, Sensei, a serious expression doesn't suit your face. A normal expression suits you better."

"Huh!? Heifu, do you have a problem with my appearance? Apologize to my parents right now!"

Hei Fu and Lin Qiu Sheng were bickering as usual, looking down on each other with sarcastic contempt. Tiao Yue Linyin's rosy eyes reflected the images of Lin Qiu Sheng and the others. Her deep voice echoed again in the room on the top floor of the Millennium Tower, interrupting the interaction between them.

"Shalai's sensei, is this your answer?"

"Yeah, I don't care about the trolley problem. I'm a very greedy person. I only do what I want to do."

"To describe it in conventional terms, it's idealism."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qiusheng's fingers accidentally stroked the smooth surface of the Xia Lai uniform he was wearing. Coming back to his senses from his high emotions, he seemed not to be the kind of protagonist in the hot-blooded comics. This choice was inconsistent with his actions so far.

He raised his hand awkwardly and scratched his messy hair on top of his head. He sighed silently and forced out a smile again. He faced Tiao Yue Liyin and gently patted his left chest, where his heart was.
