StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Chapter 252: A Proposition on Self-worth

Hearing this, Fu Xuan raised her head with some curiosity. She just looked at Wu Xuan quietly, as if she was surprised that he could say such a thing.

“There is a very interesting proposition in this world, which is how to prove one’s self-worth.”

"A person who truly studies this field does not need to prove his or her value in such a seemingly ridiculous way. All they need to do is to quietly do what they have always done before."

"In the process of doing this, they have already proved their value."

"And the vast majority of people at that so-called academic conference just now...they all have one thing in common, which is that they are incompetent."

Having said this, Wu Xuan paused for a moment, a mocking smile appearing on his face:

"To put it bluntly, this group of people have always wanted to gain something for nothing."

"I thought I was superior because I had entered the circle of scholars, but I found out that I couldn't achieve anything, so I went crazy looking for "like-minded people" to gain recognition."

"So there's no need to have any emotions because of this kind of people. You just need to feel from the bottom of your heart that you are not the same kind of people as them and that their behavior is a bit disgusting."

"Even if you are the future Taibu, you can't change this, because... this is human nature."

Wu Xuan's words made Fu Xuan fall into silence. The two of them walked slowly on the street without saying a word.

Listening to the hawkers' cries and the noise of the crowd on the street, Fu Xuan's anger in the hall just faded away little by little.

Wu Xuan was right, she was not the same kind of person as them.

She is the future fortune teller, but even people in high positions require everyone to concentrate on their work and give up this third-rate academic conference with socializing as the main content...

Somewhat unrealistic.

Because they will hold this kind of meeting no matter what, instead of wasting time on them, it is better to focus all your energy on the hexagram you are facing.

"call..."

Thinking of this, Fu Xuan slowly exhaled, and then looked at Wu Xuan beside him with some curiosity.

She didn't quite understand why a sea ranger who was no different from Cowboy Bebop knew so much about the academic circle?

To be more precise, it’s not about the academic circle, but...human nature?

Aren't people like them supposed to be the type who are ruthless and don't talk much?

"Wu Xuan, you are not..."

Before Fu Xuan could finish his words, Wu Xuan spoke as if he had foreseen the future: "Why do I understand so much, huh?"

Fu Xuan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then nodded.

"Before I became a Sea Ranger, I was no pushover either. I worked at the Philosophy Institute on my home planet, so I was... considered a scholar~"

Hearing Wu Xuan's words, the doubt in Fu Xuan's amber eyes was instantly replaced by shock.

She blinked, as if trying to completely overlap the image of the gentle man in front of her with the figure of the sea patrol ranger who was almost violent in the face of the enemy.

But...she found she couldn't do it.

Although she knew that people have many faces, but Wu Xuan...

It’s like we are born with several faces, and we have different attitudes and expressions when facing different people and different things.

The most exaggerated thing is that every attitude of his is just right, as if...he was born that way.

Fu Xuan just stared at Wu Xuan in a daze, and then walked blankly on the street, not noticing that the lamppost standing on the side of the road was gradually "approaching" her.

Just as she was staring at Wu Xuan and thinking about life, a soft feeling came from her forehead, and her amber eyes instantly regained focus, and she quickly turned her gaze to the road in front of her.

Looking at the street lamp that was almost touching her nose, she turned her head to look at Wu Xuan who was putting his hand out to protect her forehead, and suddenly felt a little...shy.

Wu Xuan didn't care what state Fu Xuan was in. He just sighed slightly and said:

"Ms. Fu Xuan, please remember, whether you are shocked or feeling any other emotions... remember to look at the road..."

"It's true that I'm a bodyguard, but I can't always pay attention to your cute forehead."

Wu Xuan said a series of strange words with a calm expression, which shocked Fu Xuan.

No?

Aren’t you the handsome and slightly crazy Cowboy Bebop Patrolman?

What are you now?

A warm-hearted bodyguard of a wealthy lady?

Fu Xuan's brain froze. She didn't know if it was because Wu Xuan's words made her feel ashamed or because of something else.

Wu Xuan looked at the dazed Fu Xuan and sighed again.

In his impression, Fu Xuan, as a Taibu with a tsundere nature... doesn't seem to be so stupid.

"Could it be possible that she is planning something else?"

Wu Xuan shook his head gently, looked at the girl who was still standing there in a daze, sighed again, and then quite naturally grabbed her arm and walked towards the cake shop not far away.

After experiencing the simulations of Yinlang, Jizi and Huangquan...Wu Xuan understood a universal truth.

——No girl can refuse a cupcake. If she can, she is just being stubborn.

Fu Xuan reacted the moment Wu Xuan reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Wu Xuan?! What are you going to do?"

Hearing Fu Xuan's tone that was seven parts panic and three parts shy, Wu Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he turned his head and said:

"Of course I'll take you to eat some cake~ Eating sweets can always make you feel better, right?"

"Don't always get angry about those rubbish, there's no need~ Life is like this..."

Wu Xuan frowned slightly when he was halfway through his words, and then he realized a very serious problem.

He is a short-lived person, so he can say "Life is short, enjoy it while you can", but the person he is persuading now is Fu Xuan!

She is an immortal!

What can he say? Life is hard and enjoy life while you can?

The corners of Wu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and after coughing twice, he said, "Life is so long, of course we should make ourselves happier."

"Otherwise, when you get old, all the few happy moments you had will be optimized away by your memory, and you will become a demonic body sooner, right?"

Wu Xuan's words made Fu Xuan slightly stunned. Looking at the figure walking with him on the street, he felt at ease for a moment.

She felt...that she could really become a pretty good friend with this unique sea ranger.
