Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

From the very beginning, Qingque posed a question that struck straight to the soul.

"The company is definitely my home. I have so many good brothers here... Do you know the company structure? The colleagues in the 'Talent Incentive Department' make the company even warmer than home!"

“Think about it again. You treat the company like a home, but does the company treat you like family? You love the company, but does the company love you?” Xing chose to let Scott ask himself these questions.

"Does the company love me? ...The company isn't a person, it doesn't need to love me!"

"So, the company isn't your home! Stop fooling yourself." March 7th immediately added insult to injury.

"Ask the good brothers you brought along, can they hold their heads high and say that the company is their home? You treat your good brothers as family, but do your good brothers treat you as family?" Xing asked again.

Before Scott could answer, his "good buddy" beat him to it and told him the truth.

"...I was Mr. Scott's grandson."

"...Grandson, isn't he family?"

Chapter 67 The Day the Dao Heart Shattered

"I've heard that even the lowest-ranking employees at Pierpoint can't help but puff out their chests whenever they think about the company's technology and wealth..."

Bluebird looked at Scott with sympathy, then continued to ask:

"But think about it carefully, does all the company's achievements and wealth have anything to do with you?"

"Of course, there's a connection!"

"Then tell me, which of the company's achievements to date is related to you?" March 7th followed up.

“I was involved in the business in Golden Man Lane back then… and I’m also in charge of this batch of company transport ships right now…” Scott immediately listed two recent projects, and then said with certainty, “Although these things may not seem like big, they can’t be done without me!”

Xing decided to question Scott's claim that she was irreplaceable.

"After you left, the business in Jinren Lane progressed even better. And now that you're in charge of the transport ships, is it really impossible for them to function without you?"

"Golden Man Alley was an accident. If you had listened to me, the company would have taken it over long ago!" Although he himself was a little unsure of himself, he couldn't admit defeat. "Besides, this transport ship definitely can't do without me!"

He's still being stubborn! March 7th felt it was time to give him another piece of the pie.

“I’ve heard that the number of people who join and leave the company each year is more than the total population of Hot Night City… If you don’t do it, Scott can do it.”

Seeing Scott fall silent, Qingque spoke again:

"Don't you find it fun to use your phone in the early hours of the morning?"

Do you find it really easy to sleep in the morning?

"Are you just earning a pittance all day long, while having to listen to your boss say that everything you do is superfluous...?"

Three unmistakably true words pierced Scott's heart like three sharp arrows once again.

"Stop, stop talking, stop talking!"

"Try to think about your life outside of work. Is it that only two words come to mind?" Qingque asked again.

On March 7th, the relay began immediately, and the two words were uttered swiftly:

"Working overtime!"

"Please stop, please stop—"

And he will soar into the sky in the not-too-distant future, transforming into a new sun, allowing the beauty of dreams to shine upon the earth. At that time, a perfect world will be born.

"According to my work philosophy, I don't actually want to say 'you're not important,' on the contrary, I would say 'you are important.' As a working person, you should be proud of living your life well, not of anything else."

Bluebird sighed, seemingly feeling that Scott's busyness was not worthwhile.

"I...I don't have a life of my own at all!"

Scott wiped away the tears that had unknowingly streamed down his face with his sleeve, his voice a little hoarse.

Seeing Scott's expression, Xing immediately pressed her advantage.

"What the hell has this company done? Turning a living person into a machine. Scott, take my advice, leave Interstellar Peace Corporation as soon as possible." She earnestly urged Scott to leave Interstellar Peace Corporation.

"I... I didn't want this to happen either."

"Scott, the choice is yours." March 7th, the master of finishing blows, strikes again.

At that moment, Scott fell silent.

At this moment, whether it's the junior employees busy at the company headquarters in Pierpoint or the employees who have gone out to carry out missions in various corners of the galaxy, everyone is on the same page.

They all fell silent, reflecting on how they had struggled their entire lives, leaving countless competitors behind, to finally enter the company.

But after joining the company?

There is only endless work and overtime.

Promotion and a raise? Seemingly out of reach. The unlimited future I once imagined—just joining the company—is nowhere to be seen.

They could have had a wonderful life if they had simply stopped at one point on their journey, but they gave it up.

Perhaps I really should leave the company and pursue my own life?

Seeing that Scott was still hesitant, Hoshiya chose to remain silent.

She remained silent, her eyes filled with sorrow. If eyes could have warmth, then her tenderness could hatch chicks.

Scott felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at like that.

"Please, say something, don't make me feel so pathetic."

"You're really pathetic for not having your own life."

These final words shattered Scott's inner ship, causing all his perseverance to crumble in an instant.

Scott lost.

"Lone Wolf" lost.

As Scott failed on the screen, an urgent notification from the Interstellar Peace Corporation was sent to every corner of the galaxy.

"Urgent notice from the company: All specialists and employees, please do not blindly believe the arguments of the fortune teller on the screen. Whether in the past, present, or future, all the company's achievements have always been accomplished through the joint efforts of all employees."

"You have always been the company's strongest foundation."

May you and I be protected and blessed.

Chapter 68, Biography Concluded

The debate has ended, but Qingque has not finished speaking.

"You're arrogant, look down on others, don't have time to invest in real life, lack empathy, and are afraid of being disrespected. You're trying to build confidence by relying on the status given by the company. Are you willing to accept this?"

"Waaaaah—you don't have to be so mean! I'm trying my best to live my life. I'm just an ordinary person. Don't you feel any pain saying these things?"

Scott could no longer hold back, and he burst into tears in front of everyone.

"Of course I feel pain, because I am just an ordinary person. Now, Scott, welcome back to the world of ordinary people."

"Mengming, the young proprietress of Never Sleeps, works hard to prepare tea and arrange tables and chairs, just so that working people like you and me, who are forced to work without any control over our lives, can have a proper rest and find our own lives again!"

"Isn't Mengming just like you? You work hard doing your job, and then your boss, who's always looking for trouble, overturns your table, breaks your teacup, and accuses you of not giving him 'colorful black.' Could you stand that?"

All working people are the same; they are all oppressed by life and by those above them.

If that's the case, why should working people make things difficult for each other?

Scott heard Qingque's words, each one carefully chosen. He lowered his head and remained silent.

"We originally intended to have you apologize to her through a sword fight, but that's not enough."

March 7th added.

"I need to apologize to her from the bottom of my heart."

Scott, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly spoke up, but this time, his tone was no longer sarcastic, but rather filled with sincere apology.

"Stop talking, I understand. Let's not continue this sword fight. I need to apologize to the young proprietress of the Nightless Marquis, and I need to apologize to everyone who lives life earnestly."

Hearing this, Xing suddenly remembered something. Oh right!

"You haven't made any pig noises yet?"

“Forget it, Scott is already reflecting on it,” March 7th said.

“Thank you, March Lady.” Scott’s tone was incredibly sincere. “Starting tomorrow, I will be a happy person, drinking tea, reading the newspaper, and roaming the universe.”

"I'm going to apologize to the young boss now. Thank you both, you've given me a lot to think about... This lousy company, sigh, I need to spend some time thinking about it carefully."

Scott and his friends left Golden Man Alley and apologized to Mengming, the owner of Never Sleeps.

Seeing Scott return with the other dejected company employees, Qingque immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ugh, I'm so tired. I haven't been this tired in ages. You guys have to treat me to something nice in March."

"Of course, of course, thank you very much, Master Qingque."

Of course, the Grand Diviner is an exception. Although he is not tall, his abilities are unparalleled!

[Profile: Lone Wolf Scott]

[Playback complete]

[Comment: The life of a lone wolf is one of no enemies, no friends, only prey!]

But aren't wolves also prey for others?

The hunter's hands were already stained with blood; slaughter was no longer of any use to him. At this moment, perhaps the "wolves" he once saw as a threat had already become the "sheep" he herded.

[End of this film review session]

Seeing that the Lone Wolf movie was finally over, Black Tower couldn't wait to find out what reward this completely unfathomable light screen would give out.

She really wanted to borrow the two rewards given last time to study them, but unfortunately, they were both disposable items. She wondered what they would give this time.

It would be best to give her something that isn't disposable, something she can study and research.

"Ms. Black Tower, please allow me to remind you that no film featuring you has been shown on the screen. It seems your chances of being selected are a little low..."

A broken mirror emitting a red glow said so.

P.S.: I'll stop writing about the Holy Grail War for now. If you have any recommendations for PVs or short videos like those from Honkai Impact 3rd, I'll write a few first, since writing about Onpharos directly would be too long.

I'll choose a few that get a lot of likes to write about.

"This screening is over, it's time for us to return to the Immortal Ship."

On the train, Walter adjusted his glasses.

During the movie screening, to ensure safety, he, March 7, Xing, and Danheng all contacted each other through the chat room and returned to the train together.

Now that the movie is over, it's time to return to the Immortal Ship.

After all, the calamity of the star core on the Immortal Ship has not yet been resolved, and they cannot break their promise to General Jingyuan.

"It feels like so much time has passed..."

Xing picked up her glass and finished the last sip of the drink prepared by the "Shut Up Master".

Even though I only watched two episodes, it felt like a month had passed.

Thinking about this, Xing's thought process suddenly went astray.

She jumped to her feet and rushed to Walter with lightning speed, looking at him with eyes full of anticipation.

"Uncle Yang! Uncle Yang! Could you perform that again?"

"What?" Walter was a little confused by Xing's sudden question.

"That's it!"

Xing's eyes gleamed with a bright light, so bright that even March 7th, standing nearby, felt a little dazzled.
