Chapter 393 Just Be a Human Being (Second Update)

In the virtual world of Veins, on a busy street.

Yuan Xiaobai, with the ID "Erebus", walked alone on this food street that seemed to be next to every university in China. Although he was holding a cup of milk tea, which was very common here, he seemed out of place here.

And now, he was looking for someone who was even more out of place.

And this "person" who was even more lonely than Yuan Xiaobai was sitting in the busiest store at this time.

"Boss, thirty skewers of veal, thirty skewers of pork belly, five skewers of ribs, two skewers of leeks, one skewers of quail eggs, and a grilled eggplant."

"Okay, do you want to pack it up? There's no room."

"No, I'll share the table with others."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Yuan Xiaobai said that he had ordered a set meal countless times in college, and then sat next to a person who was eating skewers alone.

"No seats left, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Whatever."

The man who was originally sitting here was eating a skewer of veal. He looked exactly like the college students who came here to relax after class.

But Yuan Xiaobai knew that the man in front of him could not be disturbed when eating skewers.

This was a rare leisure time for him.

Not long after, Yuan Xiaobai's skewers arrived. The sizzling fat exuded a tempting smell all the time, and both meat and vegetarian dishes were deeply infiltrated with the taste of seasoning.

People who value nutrition and health will only shake their heads when they see these barbecues, but as young college students who have the most capital to go out, these heavy-tasting barbecues can conquer their taste buds the most.

After taking a bite, the fat and seasoning of the pork belly played a waltz on the tip of the tongue. Even Yuan Xiaobai, who was used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, could be moved again by this grassroots taste that once accompanied him during his school years.

This is what a guy who got there first thought.

"Looking at your expression, it's almost perfect."

After Yuan Xiaobai ate a few skewers, the man who came first turned around and said, "You came to see me so soon?"

Li Zheng stared at Yuan Xiaobai in front of him. He took advantage of the time when Yuan Xiaobai hadn't swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and said, "By the way, you should know about the future now... Well, it's normal for you to ask me, I know."

"Woo... Well." Li Zheng's sudden opening behavior caught Yuan Xiaobai off guard. After choking the meat in his mouth, he continued, "I'm not surprised that there will be a 'doomsday' in the future. I'm surprised about another thing. Why didn't the 'eternal mentor' who was scheduled to appear appear? Isn't this... what you promised me seven years ago?"

"What would you think if I said I changed my mind?" Li Zheng picked up a glass of beer, ignored Yuan Xiaobai, and looked at the college students who were bustling in the barbecue restaurant at this time.

They ordered barbecue pots one by one, opened boxes of beer one by one, drank a big bottle at a time, and smoked dozens of skewers at a time.

Even though most students don't have much money, they will spend their accumulated living expenses on a day worth celebrating. Let's drink tonight and get drunk tonight.

"I used to be like this." Li Zheng wiped his mouth, and the barbecue in front of him had been completely eaten. "So I once thought about borrowing your body to fulfill my dream."

"Can you please not use the word "borrow"? After all, this is my destiny since birth."

"What if I use it?" Li Zheng shook his head and said to Yuan Xiaobai: "Besides, I don't like you using the word "destiny" either."

"Why not? After all, I am..."

"Yes, you are my flesh and blood."

Li Zheng suddenly pointed out the relationship between the two, which made Yuan Xiaobai stunned in place, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a while, Yuan Xiaobai said, "Since you also admit that I am your 'flesh body', then becoming you is naturally my 'destiny', isn't it?"

"You are the flesh body prepared for me by this world. You seem to think that you were born for the times, with abilities and dueling strength far beyond ordinary people, just to welcome my entry one day."

Li Zheng looked at Yuan Xiaobai in front of him with a serious face: "But, what if I don't intend to use the identity of 'Yuan Xiaobai' to bear what I bear?"

Yuan Xiaobai was stunned.

Li Zheng picked up a glass of wine, handed it to him, and then picked up a glass himself and said, "As for you, just be a person with peace of mind."

——————Gray Liuli——————

Li Zheng once had a question, a question about Yuan Xiaobai.

Muto Yugi was brought up by the Pharaoh, Dongfeng Gu Hui was trained by himself, and this Yuan Xiaobai... It was like jumping out of a stone, defeating a lot of masters including Kaiba Seto and Jonouchi Katsuya, and won the title of Duel King.

Seven years ago, Li Zheng had a verbal agreement with him. As one of the few non-contracted people that Li Zheng found could possess, Yuan Xiaobai said at the time that he could give his body to Li Zheng, but hoped that Li Zheng could serve as a "eternal mentor" to guide mankind.

At that time, Li Zheng didn't know why he agreed so readily. Later, after using the "God's perspective" to see every atom in the world, he finally understood the identity of "Yuan Xiaobai" - he was the flesh prepared by this world for Li Zheng.

If Li Zheng had used the "transcendence skill point" instead of "God's Perspective" and "Immortality", he would have used Yuan Xiaobai's body and become an immortal "eternal mentor".

Later, in order not to affect his plan, Li Zheng sealed this memory in the "Promised Land". It was not until Li Wuhuo made a big fuss in the "Promised Land" not long ago that his memory was restored.

And now, Yuan Xiaobai, who had been preparing to let Li Zheng possess his body, finally heard from Paradox and others that there was no "eternal mentor" in the future world. For a moment, he didn't know what his "fate" was, so he came to Veins to find Li Zheng as soon as possible.

And Li Zheng only told him: I changed my mind.

——————Effect Masker——————

After the last skewer was eaten, the plate in front of Yuan Xiaobai was empty.

Now he still has some wine in front of him. Unlike the clear amber wine he likes to drink, this barbecue restaurant next to the school can only provide very low-quality wine.

Yuan Xiaobai didn't care about the quality of the wine. Now he just wanted to drown his sorrows in wine... What's more, this was the virtual world of Veins. No matter how real it felt, it wasn't real wine.

After three glasses of beer, Yuan Xiaobai seemed to have returned to the glorious days of his school days.

Now the superficial media always like to promote Yuan Xiaobai's experience of miraculously establishing the "Firenet Group" in his last year of college, solving one modern alchemy problem after another after graduation, and being crowned the third-generation duel king as his "struggle history", but they don't know that these achievements were just a convenience for Yuan Xiaobai.

His real "struggle history" was the decadent three years after he was admitted to college; and his goal was to escape his own fate.
