Chapter 384: Tsundere Has Retired

"Wow, be careful!"

On a narrow country road, the driver of the Iveco truck sped at a speed of over 100 miles per hour, which scared Ojiaou.

The truck was carrying goods on the back, and Ojiaou took a closer look and found that it was a can of natural gas... I don't know why the driver was so bold to drive so fast.

"By the way, Li Zheng, where is this place?" Ojiaou looked around. It looked like a small town in Europe, but... the girl always felt that something was wrong.

She couldn't tell where it was exactly; she checked her clothes carefully and found that she was wearing a light yellow auto mechanic uniform.

["A 'small town' in Germany, can't you tell?"] The sudden voice came into the girl's mind, and Ojiaou felt her shoulders sink. She looked back and found that it was a black cat lying on her shoulders.

This cat is exactly the same as the cat that Li Zheng transformed into in the hometown of "Lorelai". Obviously, this cat is the incarnation of Li Zheng.

"You turned into a cat again... Really, if you keep going like this, what if I have PTSD towards cats?"

After complaining about Li Zheng's bad taste, Ojiaou took the cat off his shoulder, squatted on the ground, stroked the cat's chin and asked: "I know this looks like a small town in Germany, but don't you think... it's too weird?"

Although small towns in Europe have always been sparsely populated, this one is too "sparse": there are basically no pedestrians on the roadside, and the surrounding buildings look like warehouses, gas stations, auto repair shops, and residential buildings for supporting vehicle facilities. Occasionally, a car will pass by.

["Go this way, I'll take you to see."]

Li Zheng took a cat step and quickly arrived at the door of a gas station with Ojiaou.

Like other places in this world, this gas station is also an unmanned facility. After the car comes in, it automatically opens the fuel tank, automatically refuels, and automatically settles. No human participation is required throughout the process, and the driver does not even need to get off the car...

Although there are many unmanned facilities in Europe due to labor costs, Ojiaou has never seen a few that are unmanned to such a morbid degree.

[“We’re here. You can speak German, right?”] Li Zheng quickly jumped back onto Ojiaou’s shoulder, then licked his paw and said, [“Read out the name of the gas station~”]

Ojiaou then noticed the name of the gas station that she had previously ignored. However, when she saw the name of the gas station, she looked as if she had seen a ghost: “This… is impossible?”

The sign on the gas station clearly read: Berliner Tankstelle (Berlin Gas Station)

"This is... Berlin? How is it possible?!" Ojiaou seemed to be a doll that accidentally opened a giant box. She picked up Li Zheng's cat on her shoulder and shook it vigorously, asking: "If I remember correctly, Berlin is a metropolis with a population of one million. How could it be a place that looks shabby even if it is called a small town? And how could Berlin only have one gas station? What's going on here... What's going on here?"

Faced with the girl's questioning, Li Zheng just waited leisurely for her to finish shaking and said: ["The 'Berlin' we are familiar with is naturally not like this, and the 'Berlin' in this world looks like this because it is designed like this - according to 'reality', the 'players' will not be able to find the way."]

Ojiaou murmured: "'Berlin' was 'designed' like this..."

["Yes, did you see the speeding truck at the beginning? That is the 'meaning' of this world."] Li Zheng nodded and said: ["The 'Creator' created this world just to be able to drive a truck in this world and be a leisurely freight driver."]

["For this reason, cities, humans, roads, scenery... are just gifts attached to this car. If this car no longer starts one day, it will often be the moment when the world will usher in the end."]

"A truck? A freight driver? Is this the...meaning of this world?"

The girl felt that her three views seemed to be crushed on the ground by Li Zheng-what is the meaning of such a world? If she is a living being living in this world... then what is the meaning of everything she has?

Seeing that Ojiaou was lost in thought, Li Zheng stretched out his cat's paw and scratched in the air, ["One world may not be intuitive enough, let's make a few more~"]

The scenery in front of him changed rapidly. When Ojiaou reacted, she had changed out of the mechanic's clothes and put on the JK uniform commonly seen in her hometown. Not far away from her, a silver-haired girl was throwing a bouquet of flowers in a boy's face with an angry look on her face, and then she said a few words to humiliate the other party and walked away.

Only the "man who looks like he has nothing but Yasasi" was left crying violently on the spot.

"Where is this place?"

Before Ojiaou could react, he was taken to a small forest on the side by Li Zheng's cat. Here, the silver-haired arrogant girl who was just humiliating the other party was praying devoutly.

The arrogant girl prayed with sweat dripping down her back: "God, please, he must not be unable to bear even this little blow..."

Along with her, there were several other men in black suits who looked as if they were facing a great enemy. They were so tense until the bell of the teaching building rang. The silver-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, packed her clothes, and once again put on her previous look of contempt for everyone, and walked to school in a cat-like manner.

The staff also breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had survived the end of the world; then, they began to prepare intensively again.

Ojiaou, who had watched the whole thing, stared at Li Zheng blankly, "This is..."

["I always like to watch these..."] Li Zheng licked his cat's paw and explained to Ojiaou: ["This is a world among thousands of love development simulation games. It is very inconspicuous, but in this world, people who have discovered the 'truth' are struggling with all their strength."]

Ojiaou said with a sigh: "The truth is... that boy, right?"

["Like the previous driving world, this world was born to tell a story of love."] Li Zheng jumped on Ojiaou's head, patted her little head and said: ["They use the most precise calculations, the most acting actors, and the most appropriate plans to maintain the fragile interest of the Player; once the Player loses interest, this world will no longer exist..."]

Before Li Zheng finished speaking, the whole world suddenly fell into silence, and then everything disappeared, leaving only a shining light point.

Ojiaou took a closer look and found that there were countless such light points in the void, some bright and some dark.

[“AFK…”] Li Zheng stretched out his cat paw in disappointment, collected the light spot of the world just now, and said helplessly: [“I told you that Tsundere is out of the game, why don’t those guys listen?”]

Ojiaou: “…”

Li Zheng threw the light spot of that world lightly, and it was absorbed by a huge network and merged into a river of shining light.

This river is called… Veins, the vein of the world.
