Chapter 340: Change of Heart

"Hmm? Why are you using such harsh words?"

Lin Liu's unusual reaction to the command made Zhao Si feel very strange:
"Although my method is a little bit evil, it shouldn't cause such a big reaction, right? What did you say, System?"

Zhao Si believed that he was more concerned about the simulated protagonist, and he had carefully considered this proactive instruction.

Therefore, in the entire instruction, except for the abuse of Blood God Son at the beginning, everything else is fine. After all, firstly, Lin Liu was not forced to commit suicide, and secondly, Lin Liu was not forced to start a massacre. The main feature of the plan is efficiency and practicality.

As long as Lin Liu can carry out the plan truthfully, no one will be harmed. This is truly the best strategy!

But Lin Liu’s reaction was... well, a little too intense.

Since the problem does not lie with one's own strategy, it can only be a problem with the system's message.

In the face of Zhao Si's questioning, the system remained quite calm:
[If we judge from the player's perspective, then there is nothing wrong with this system, and your instructions were indeed issued truthfully. ]

[Although Lin Liu himself was resistant to the strategy, he actually accepted it quite well. As the master of the world for a lifetime, he would not have any mental defects on such issues. He could clearly distinguish between good and bad strategies.]

Zhao Si scratched his head:

"You mean, you have no problem either? Then what's the problem?"

【It happened to Jiao Ming.】

what? !

Zhao Si was stunned. Why did they bring up Lao Jiao again? It's been two seasons...

[The "active command function" of this system is designed to prevent the protagonist from disobeying orders, so it is mandatory. If the new protagonist has a tendency to disobey orders, he will naturally receive a serious warning.]

[The reason why Lin Liu reacted abnormally was actually because he developed a rebellious mentality after being warned. Players don't need to pay too much attention to it.]

The system's explanation finally dispelled some of Zhao Si's doubts, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart:
Although Lao Jiao is dead, he seems to be alive. He has long disappeared from the simulation game, but his legend still affects the younger generations of simulation game...

After complaining, Zhao Si couldn't help but ask:

"Then how do we deal with Lin Liu's rebellious psychology? Will it really affect his physical and mental health?"

[Don't worry about it. Just wait for him to figure it out. ]

[Besides, this is just the beginning. He still has a lot of mental distortions to go through if he wants to pass this round...]

Hmm? Is this a spoiler?
Zhao Si keenly discovered the key point from the system's last seemingly unintentional explanation:
Where is this?
Could it be that... there is still a big job? !

……

【Big life? 】

[You don’t feel that way yet.]

[As for the mentality, although you are still very resistant to the coercive threat from the higher-dimensional existence, as time goes by, you gradually slow down your mentality, because there is actually no problem with the strategy itself. ]

[Anyway, your ultimate goal is to take into account the lives of all beings in the Eternal Wilderness and the Dream World, and on this basis, to save your own life.]

[If we follow the strategy, not only can all of the above requirements be met, but we can also save a lot of time and energy. We don't need to manage power, establish a new dynasty, promote the establishment of organizations... all of these can be solved with a Blood God Son. ]

[The only problem is that it somewhat ignores human rights, but... it doesn't matter. As long as we can save them, what does human rights matter? ]

[So you gradually calmed down, restrained the discomfort coming from your nature, and fully implemented the large-scale brainwashing strategy that you would never implement in your previous life...]

【…】

[You started your brainwashing plan when I was three years old.]

[And you did not interfere too much with those brainwashed people, just let them continue their normal lives while continuing to worship you on a daily basis. No matter what they forget, they must not forget to worship you! ]

[So, a large amount of high-quality extreme incense continues to water your Dharma image...]

[You still used the strange ability of the Blood God Son to complete the condensation of the Dharma Image. The Dharma Image you formed was the same as in your previous life, a blood-red god of hostility.]

[However, I don’t know if it’s because the desire for incense and fire you received in this life is particularly extreme and pure, but this Dharma image, which was normal except for its scary appearance in the previous life, has a bit of unspeakable evil this time…]

[It’s hard to describe the evil nature in detail, and you can’t tell what harm it does, so just pretend you didn’t see it.]

[But those who are involved are confused, while those who are watching can see clearly. Even if you don’t feel it, others can sense it…]

The mother looked at her son who was basking in the sun alone in the yard. The five-year-old should have been playing with his peers, but now he seemed to be inexplicably lonely...

After thinking for a while, the mother asked with concern:

"Xiao Liu, why don't you go play with them?"

Lin Liu, who was in a daze, was slightly startled by his mother's sudden question, but he still answered obediently:
"I don't want to play with them...they're too childish." Childish?

The mother found it a little funny:

My son is the youngest among his peers in the clan, how can he still say that others are childish...

But when you think about it carefully, Xiaoliu is indeed much more mature than his peers. Other five-year-olds are playing everywhere, fishing, diving, boating... each one is more excited than the other, and they are beaten and scolded by adults every day. If they are not beaten for three days, they will climb up the roof and tear off the tiles!

But my own little six never does anything annoying. At an age when he should be making trouble, he behaves quite quiet, too quiet to be like a child.

He is also very sensible and often does housework within his ability. He always looks well-behaved and cute in front of his parents.

This is a typical case of "precocity". If her family had the conditions, she would definitely let her son go to school so that he could pass the imperial examinations!

pity……

The mother sighed:
Although the family has some savings, it is still far from enough to support his studies. It is said that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts, but can the poverty of landlords and rich peasants be the same as that of ordinary people?
Farmers, fishermen and the like, if anyone really believes in the saying that the poor are literary and the rich are martial, then they are definitely fooled...

In short, my son probably really can't play together with people of his age.

However, the mother still said earnestly:
"Xiao Liu, mother knows that you are precocious and look down on other children."

"But playing is something you should do at your age. How can a child not play with others? Be obedient and go play with Lian Yatou and the others!"

Lin Liu had no choice but to agree:
"Yes, mother..."

Under his mother's loving gaze, Lin Liu slowly left the yard...

But he did not go to find playmates as his mother had told him. Instead, he came to the beach and sat alone, gazing at the golden glow where the sea and sky met, and sighing quietly to himself:
"It's not that I don't want to play with them...it's clearly that they don't want to play with me..."

Although considering Lin Liu's mental age, there is really no need for him to play with a group of little kids, but in order not to scare his parents and relatives, he still wants to act like a normal child as much as possible.

Just like in his second life, he was obviously an old man in his sixties or seventies in his first life, but at the beginning of his second life, he still replicated all the fate of his first life, and finally stepped onto the stage of the world as an ordinary person.

Today, although Lin Liu's future plans have undergone drastic changes compared to his previous life, he still wants to spend this precious childhood and youth as an ordinary person.

So not only did he not intentionally separate himself from the others, but he actually wanted to play with them!
But he is willing, while others are not.

Lin Liu couldn't help feeling helpless when he thought that his peers were avoiding him like the plague, and even his wife didn't like him.

"Am I so hated..."

As he was thinking, Lin Liu suddenly tilted his head and looked at the group of little kids playing and chirping on the beach in the distance...

I just don’t believe this!

Lin Liu made up his mind, stood up and walked towards them with big strides...

[Your approach quickly attracted their attention! ]

[So, the little kids who were still playing non-stop suddenly screamed and scattered...]

【you:……】

[This is even more exaggerated than seeing a monster. ]

[You cursed inwardly, then sped up, grabbed one of the slow little creatures, and shouted, "Why are you running! Am I that scary?"]

[The frightened child nodded and burst into tears...]

【you:……】

[You are so angry that you are laughing. You have a bad temper to begin with, and now you are humiliated in front of others. You are so angry that you take out a Blood God Son and want to inject "loyalty" and "gratitude" into this hateful little thing...]

[But the next moment, your movements suddenly froze, and your entire body seemed to be stuck.]

[The little brat who was almost about to repay his debt of gratitude also took the opportunity to break free from your grasp and ran away crying and howling...]

【But you obviously don't have time to pay attention to him now, you just stand there in a daze. 】

[After being stunned for a long time, you looked back at the Blood God Child in your hand that you hadn’t taken down. You were used to it, but suddenly you felt it was so hot! ]

[You subconsciously let go of your hand and let it fall on the beach...]

[“I…I…”]

[You also collapsed to the ground, your eyes full of confusion: Now, you seem to understand why they stay away from you...]
