Chapter 4074 Going and Staying
After listening to Edward's suggestion, Satan laughed strangely and said, "I suggest you not to make any suggestions."
"Just being a coward for five days, we can avoid the Red Moon? You must have been chewed on the brain by a dog! Do you really think that after five days, that damn Lei... ahem, he will honestly let us go?"
Being a prisoner in the extraordinary world means more than just being imprisoned physically.
Your soul, your organs, everything about you will be taken at the request of the other party.
This means that you have given up all your rights, including life and death, to the other party. You also have to believe in the other party's kindness, because only in this way will you be released after five days.
But people don't remain unchanged. Five days is a long time. Maybe the other party is willing to set us free now, but he may have new ideas five days later?
Therefore, Coleman could not accept putting his life and freedom in the hands of an unknown person whom he had just met.
"Besides, what's the point of dodging for five days? You said it yourself, the red moon is like snot stuck to the sleeve and can't be shaken off! After ten days, don't each of us have to obediently hand over 450 soul coins?"
"If you can't get the money in five days, you can get it in ten days? Stop dreaming. Since this damn coin is so difficult to get, five more days or five less days will make a difference!"
Satan's words were still impolite, but it was clearly expressed with Coleman's instruction. Of course, when Coleman conveyed it in his mind, he certainly would not use such a bad tone.
Edward naturally understood this logic. When he spoke before, he had guessed that this would be the result.
"I really can't help Reginald prove himself."
Edward himself believed that Reginald would set them free in five days, but this was based on his own understanding, and Coleman and the others could not understand this.
"However, we can discard these tedious reasons and further simplify the two options: one is to give you five days to accumulate soul coins, and the other is to give you ten days."
“Although the latter requires a little trust, the probability of success of the latter is obviously greater than that of the former.”
Edward still hopes that everyone can choose to stay here.
Because from his perspective, this is the best option at the moment.
Edward looked at Coleman with expectation, hoping that he could understand his good intentions.
Coleman did not let Satan speak again, but fell into deep thought.
Weighing the two options, which one is the best solution?
……
Heart space, in front of the live screen.
"What choice do you think they will make in the end?" The water clone looked at the silent Coleman in the picture, then turned to ask Angel.
Ingres fell into thought.
The situation between the two parties is actually quite clear at the moment. Edward obviously prefers to stay in the Temple of the Corpse, while Coleman wants to leave.
Whether staying or leaving, everyone has their own reasons, and each is right.
But if I have to choose between the two, Angle personally prefers Edward a little more.
The reason is very simple. After all, Edward is a local tyrant and he knows more about the ritual world.
Moreover, as a wizard, Edward still felt, after rational analysis, that the survival rate of staying in the Temple of the Corpse was higher, and there must be a reason for this.
Based on this, Ingres favors Edward.
"What about you?" Angel looked at the water clone.
The Water Clone shrugged noncommittally: "Since you chose Edward, then I will choose Coleman. We have to face one of us."
"So casual?"
The water clone shook his head: "It's not random, it's just that both choices make sense. There's nothing wrong with Coleman's reasons."
If I can’t collect enough soul coins to deal with the Red Moon in five days, how can I collect them in ten days?
Moreover, if you choose ten days, you have to bear the possible variables.
So, Coleman had the right reasons for wanting to leave now.
Angel and the water clone each took a stand, which made sense. So whose choice was correct in the end?
The answer is, both are wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, Coleman finally decided to leave.
It's not that he didn't trust Edward's judgment, but after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that the fundamental reason why he and Bingnv were chosen to enter Wanmeng Yungang was to better record the material for the live variety show.
Of course, exploring Wanmeng Yungang is also important, but more important is the live variety show.
If I stay here and become a prisoner, not only will I accomplish nothing in five days and not be able to record any variety show materials, but I will also have to bear the risk of not being able to leave after five days.
So, instead of being trapped like a bird in a cage, it is better to use these five days to find a way out and accumulate some variety show materials.
Most importantly...
"The worst that can happen is death." Satan's flames burned, and the dark purple flames shot up to two meters high: "The Ice Girl and I are not afraid of death."
Although he said "I'm not afraid of death", the implicit meaning of this sentence was to tell Edward that we are just Laplace's punctual bodies. If we die, we will just exit the copy and choose a new punctual body to enter.
In this case, it's okay to take a little risk.
Of course, after Coleman said this, he asked Satan to convey another message: I also respect your choice. I think we can't put all our eggs in one cage. We might as well act separately.
In other words, Edward felt that his chances of survival were higher if he stayed, so he stayed.
Coleman didn't want to waste five days, so they chose to leave.
Moreover, as punctual bodies, Coleman and the Ice Girl can take risks to do things because they have the next punctual body to back them up.
But Edward didn't.
Once Edward dies and is kicked out of the dungeon, according to the rules, he will never be able to enter again before he passes the "window".
So, they can be more unrestrained, but Edward doesn't need to be so unrestrained. A conservative choice is more appropriate.
Therefore, Coleman's final plan was: act separately.
"What do you think?" Satan asked calmly, without swearing.
Edward did not make a decision immediately, but changed the subject and asked, "Is it better for the variety show if I stay or leave?"
Satan pulled the corners of his mouth into a mocking smile, and the flames on his neck cast shadows on the whites of his eyes. "Idiot! This farce has been fun since we started arguing! Who cares which kind of drama is more eye-catching? Stabbing each other, biting each other, and finally parting ways - the audience likes this kind of bloody and rotten plot, the more chaotic it is, the more excited they are!"
Although Satan's words were unpleasant to the ear, his implication was clear.
Rather than scenes of brothers being friendly and getting along well with each other, the audience prefers scenes of internal strife, suspicion, and going against each other.
Therefore, Edward's best option for variety show effect at this time is really... to act separately.
It was just a peaceful separation, without any gimmicks.
After a big fight, an ugly breakup is the best solution.
So, Edward and Satan had a half-hour witty exchange, performing a backstabbing breakup drama...
Half an hour later, the show ended.
Edward calmed his breath and said, "Let's go. I'll take you away now. The sooner the better."
After all, Coleman and his team only have five days to earn 900 soul coins, so the sooner they can leave, the greater their chances of success.
Satan's arrogance had not yet subsided because of the "quarrel". Although he knew it was just acting, he did not expect Edward to "break the act" so easily...
Edward seemed to have guessed Satan's thoughts and said calmly, "Half an hour is enough for editing. If it's longer or shorter, I think the audience will get bored."
Satan: "Then send us out of this section now..."
Edward: "Cut it off when the time comes."
It's impossible to send them off peacefully after a quarrel, so it's best to cut this part out.
"I fucking hate scripts!"
Edward: "Life is too dull. Even the life of an adventurer is boring most of the time. Without a script, how can we mobilize the audience's emotions?"
As he spoke, Edward motioned for them to follow.
Satan: "Isn't this the way to leave? You bastard, are you trying to secretly abduct us?"
The path Edward led at this time was not the main gate they came in through, but a corridor deep in the hall.
Edward explained nonchalantly, "If you leave through the main gate, that's fine. But how do you get to Yungang City without transportation?"
"So, there's transportation here?"
Edward nodded, his expression slightly subtle: "Yes, there are indeed means of transportation here, and you are familiar with them..."
After turning a few corners and walking along several roads, Edward led them underground.
After a while, a lot of fog appeared around.
Obviously, they had entered below the sea of clouds.
And here, they saw Reginald in a religious suit. He did not wear the strange mask, but revealed a slightly hideous and weathered face.
Reginald glanced at Edward and the others and said softly, "Have you made your choice?"
Edward nodded: "I stay, they leave."
Reginald raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I thought you would be of one mind."
Edward shrugged and said nothing. Reginald did not ask any more questions, but motioned for everyone to follow.
After walking down two more floors, the surrounding clouds became darker.
When they reached an empty hut, Reginald pushed open the door and pointed to the end of the mist outside: "Go inside, and you will reach the Cloud Whale Platform."
"Other people with authority will sense my leaving the temple. So, go there on your own. I won't send you off."
Edward nodded.
"Although I've been here once before, it still feels incredible to come here again..." Edward murmured in a low voice: "Who would have thought that there would be a platform under the sea of clouds?"
Reginald leaned on the threshold and said noncommittally: "A platform in the sea of clouds is nothing. I once heard a rumor that there is a platform in the sea of stars somewhere in the Yi world."
"Xinghai Platform?" Edward was stunned.
Reginald nodded and said casually, "It is said that the platform can receive a magical train that can travel through the void and travel in the sea of stars."
"Of course, this is just a rumor I heard. I can't guarantee whether it is true or not."
Edward said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions. It was just a casual chat and he didn't care.
Then Edward took Coleman and the Ice Girl out of the cabin.
Reginald stood at the door, watching them walk into the depths of the fog...
……
"Xinghai Platform?!"
The topic that Reginald mentioned casually caused a stir in the heart space.
Edward didn't know what the Star Sea Platform was, but Angel knew!
If nothing unexpected happens, the Xinghai platform corresponds to the Xinghai train!
The Star Sea Train is the miracle product created by the "Star Lord"!
"There is actually a Star Sea Platform in the Yi World?" There was a flash of surprise in Angel's eyes. You know, although the Star Sea Train leads to many worlds, there are only a few that actually have platforms.
All worlds that establish platforms are recognized by the "Star Lord".
So, the Yi World is also a world recognized by the Star Lord?
but……
Angel had heard Edward mention before that the laws of the Ritual World were not complete and belonged to a half world. Because of this, almost all the life groups in the Ritual World were pulled in from the outside world, rather than being born locally. Edward entered the Ritual World because of this.
How could a world that is not yet complete be recognized by the Star Lord, and even receive an invitation letter to establish a Star Sea platform?
This is really a bit...
"Don't you think it's familiar?" The water clone suddenly spoke.
"Ah?" Angel was stunned.
The water clone said calmly: "The ritual world is a world with incomplete laws, and the Dream Crystal Origin is also a world with incomplete laws. The Star Lord has invited the ritual world to build a platform, and the Dream Crystal Origin has also been invited to build a platform..."
"From this perspective, aren't the Yi World and the Dream Crystal Origin very similar?"
Father, like son.
After listening to the water clone's words, Angel made a careful comparison and found that the situations in Dream Crystal Origin and Ritual World were really similar... The only difference was that the Ritual World might have already established a platform, while Dream Crystal Origin had not yet.
The water clone continued, "Starworm mentioned before that the Star Lord wanted to build a station in Dream Crystal Origin. It is likely that he thinks Dream Crystal Origin has great potential. If so, then is Yi World also a world with great potential?"
Angel didn't know how to answer because he currently knew too little about the ritual world.
"Speaking of which, I have discussed a topic before. Does the Star Lord really value the world's potential when he wants to establish a platform in the Dream Crystal Plain?"
"We came to a conclusion then, not just about world potential, but also about your personal potential."
The water clone looked at Angel seriously.
"Me?" Angel pointed at himself.
The water clone nodded. "Yes, whether it's the original body, Laplace, or me, we all think that you have unlimited potential, and the upper limit you can reach in the future will be very high."
"Similarly, if the establishment of the Xinghai Station is also based on this principle, does that mean that the creator of the Yi World has unlimited potential just like you?"
