The whole world had come to a standstill.
Some astute people would sigh like this in their hearts from time to time, but when these people turned their heads to look around them, the roads were still busy, and all kinds of gossip on the Internet were still going on. The English Premier League was about to come to an end, and the NBA Finals were won by the Warriors.
This year's college graduates still received their respective graduation certificates one after another.
Some people chose to apply for a bachelor's degree and devote themselves to society. Many people even signed contracts of intent with foreign companies in the first semester of their senior year, and only waited for graduation to go there. For example, the horny students in the Department of Finance of Gokyo University majored in international trade.
This matter was also a "good talk" in the school. Many majors that scored higher than finance and international trade in the college entrance examination were not so popular. Many people regretted and were jealous. If they knew that the top five finance majors were so greedy, they would not have applied for environmental science.
Of course, many people chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Among them, the environmental science was the representative. There were more than 30 people in Chen Guang's class, and more than five were confirmed to be postgraduate students. More than half of the students were ready to go all out for the postgraduate entrance examination. Based on everyone's usual grades, the probability of being admitted was not low.
In Chen Guang's dormitory, unexpectedly, two of the four brothers were preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
One was Bai Niangzi, Bai Fan. Although this guy had been messing around during his four years in college and wrote some terrible online novels from time to time, this guy's grades had always been quite good.
Before, he had said that he wanted Chen Guang to protect him, but that was just a casual remark and he did not take it seriously.
The only online novel he wrote was the unlucky and deceptive female novel that was accidentally bought by Lu Xiaoliang. Later, Chen Guang did not advertise for him, and each novel was a failure. Now, Bai Niangzi had completely given up on this idea.
The other was Xiong'er. Although Xiong'er looked big and stupid, how many of the people who were admitted to the top five were really stupid?
His grades in the class were above average, and if he worked hard for a while, he still had hope of taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
As for Lin Jingwei, he even directly guaranteed the graduate students at Peking University.
Although Lin Jingwei did not stand out in class, his grades were always the best, and he could be regarded as a straight-A student in his class.
This meant that he would have to return to Yan Jing after graduation, and he had an appointment with Gao Ya. Gao Ya wasn't guaranteed a postgraduate degree, but she seemed to be planning to take it herself.
In fact, with Lin Jingwei's family background, Gao Ya could directly get into the Yan Capital University. However, she was proud and didn't want Lin Jingwei's family to stand up for her. She was confident that she could get into the university on her own.
These two people of different backgrounds might really continue to walk together in the future.
Sun Xiaoxun's choice was very strange. She could have been guaranteed a postgraduate position at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but she gave up at the last moment and gave her spot to another girl in her class whose grades were almost the same as hers.
As for herself, she didn't say that she wanted to go abroad, nor did she say that she wanted to stay in school to take the postgraduate entrance examination. However, she wasn't in a hurry to find a job, and when others asked her, she didn't say that she wanted to go back to her hometown to work.
Gradually, everyone stopped asking about it. She was planning to stay in the five capitals, or wherever Chen Guang wanted to go, she would follow along.
There wasn't much gossip in the class, but they felt that it wasn't worth it for her to do so.
Not to mention the fact that Chen Guang was surrounded by beautiful girls, everyone in the class knew that although they had feelings for each other, there was nothing between them after four years in university.
Chen Guang had vaguely given her a status, but he had never taken the most important step in their relationship.
Gao Ya's best friend couldn't figure it out and even gave her ideas from time to time. Since she had already made up her mind and didn't care about anything else, why did she have to be so reserved? She could find a chance to drug this guy or get him drunk. She could even force herself on him.
However, Sun Xiaoxun always smiled foolishly and refused. She looked as if she, the emperor, wasn't in a hurry, so why should she, the eunuch, be in a hurry?
Gao Ya didn't know what to do, but she didn't insist.
In short, no matter what thoughts they had, they couldn't beat the passing of time. After they got their diplomas, the only group activity left for the environmental engineering class was the last meal.
From then on, everyone would go their separate ways, walk their own lives, and experience what they had to go through.
Maybe one day in the future, everyone would want to have a reunion. They wouldn't all come, but they would at least get together in twos and threes to reminisce about their university years.
At the corner of the Golden Campus Square, the owner of a barbecue shop was sitting quietly at his stall. His hands were moving up and down, and more than a hundred skewers of barbecued meat were floating over the flame of the oven under the control of his dexterous and strong fingers. As they floated over, the fragrant and delicious grease was grilled out of the skewers and fell into the bonfire, igniting a bunch of flames and making a sizzling sound.
The owner raised his head from time to time to look at the students who were sitting together, talking and laughing, hugging each other and crying, or gulping down wine. He felt quite melancholy.
Although it didn't matter who he was doing business with, these students were his old customers. Even if they left, new students would become his old customers next semester. After all, everyone was familiar with each other, so the owner was still a little reluctant to let them go.
However, he soon shook his head. Why was he lamenting here? It was because Chen Guang was one of the students in this class, and he had a deep impression of him. Actually, there weren't many students who knew his surname.
Gao Ya opened her mouth and tore off a crisp bone from a bamboo skewer. She chewed on it and said in a muffled voice, "Xiaoxun, I don't know what's going on, but I feel weird."
Sun Xiaoxun took a sip of juice and looked back at Gao Ya. He then stole a glance at Chen Guang, who was drinking with Lin Jingwei and the others. He said, "Actually, I think so too."
Gao Ya stomped her feet impatiently. "What's going on? Everything is fine, but I feel like something is missing. I really don't understand."
"Maybe you'll get it after a while."
Sun Xiaoxun's gaze landed on Chen Guang.
Like the other girls around Chen Guang, Sun Xiaoxun also felt that everyone was a little different since a few months ago.
However, this feeling was very faint and mysterious. There was no evidence at all, and there was no scientific reason for it.
It was fine if the others changed. After all, they were all ordinary people. Their minds weren't very firm and mature. Maybe it had something to do with a nightmare.
Wait, maybe it wasn't a nightmare?
"Speaking of which, I don't even know if my identity as a player is real or fake. I remember all those things, but it's only been a few months, and my brain can barely remember them. My memory wasn't so bad before. Also, it's been a few months, and there are no new missions. Why is that? "
Gao Ya began to mutter in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Sun Xiaoxun didn't say anything. She just stared blankly at Chen Guang. Her eyes flashed, but in her mind, she was thinking that everyone was like this. They were all players.
Compared to ordinary people, Chen Guang was the one who was most likely to know the most secrets. However, when she asked him, he was also confused and had a headache.
Sometimes, it would even make him go crazy. After a long time, everyone avoided these topics in front of him. He was supposed to be a player, but he chose to forget about it. No one mentioned it to him.
Regardless of whether it was Sun Xiaoxun, Zhuo Jingsi, Lin Jingwei, or the executives in his company who were also players, or even his old subordinates in the Summer of Hua Xia, they had no choice but to come to a tacit agreement when faced with someone like him, who was undoubtedly the strongest player in the world. They couldn't bring themselves to say anything.
The only S-rank player in the human world had probably gone berserk. No one was allowed to talk about player matters with him, much less the mission space. Otherwise, he would go crazy and suffer from seizures.
But they couldn't go on like this, could they?
Sun Xiaoxun shook her head helplessly.
But what else could they do?
Yes, there was nothing they could do. For players like Sun Xiaoxun, the strongest was only a C-level. Other than waiting for Chen Guang to recover, there was nothing they could do.
After all, even Wenwen, who stood at the peak of A-level and might have reached S-level, couldn't do anything.
It was said that she tried to use the Dual Cultivation technique to forcibly awaken Chen Guang's memory, but she failed.
This guy rejected her.
That's right, he rejected her very firmly. When Wenwen showed the slightest sign of it, he turned around and ran.
Even Wen Wen, who had done it with him more than once in the past, had been sternly rejected by him. Needless to say, Sun Xiaoxun, Tang Ying, Jin Shiyue, and Wu Tong, who were close to him but had never done it with him.
Speaking of which, he didn't know how Tang Ying's research was going.
Many people didn't know that in addition to Morninglight Environmental Protection, Chen Guang had actually invested in another laboratory, which was the bioengineering laboratory led by Tang Ying.
After becoming a player, Tang Ying, who was originally only a second-tier scholar in the world, suddenly had an epiphany, and the results came like a whirlwind.
According to her, her IQ had also increased. In the past, she was about 167. Although she could ride on the heads of ordinary people and beat them up, there was still a gap between her and many legendary geniuses in human history, such as Planck, Tesla, Einstein, and Zu Chongzhi.
But after awakening as a player, she claimed that her IQ was as high as 245.
As for why it wasn't 250, she told people not to ask her why.
In short, she lived frugally and guarded the samples she had taken from Chen Guang. The progress of her genetic analysis was improving almost every day.
At first, in order to prevent the leak of Chen Guang's important resources, Tang Ying chose to work alone. But since Chen Guang began to act strangely, everyone became anxious, and Tang Ying's genetic analysis became a life-saving straw.
After some discussion, they agreed that Tang Ying would distribute the samples to the top laboratories around the world through the method of gene cultivation and proliferation.
Of course, she still had a trick up her sleeve. She only gave each laboratory a fragment. This precise gene fragment cutting method was something she had come up with herself in the past few months. According to her, she could probably win a Nobel Prize in Biology in a few years.
In the end, Tang Ying's task changed from a single person's hard work to a compilation of all the research results. This was extremely difficult for a researcher, but Tang Ying, who claimed to have an IQ of 245, was able to turn misfortunes into blessings.
Of course, the help of other laboratories wasn't free, but the companies under Chen Guang were super rich. In addition, the Ministry of Heaven also allocated funds regardless of cost. Jiang Yage and Jin Shiyue also contributed financially to the country.
Although Chen Guang didn't want to be involved, everyone had their eyes on him, the only S-rank player at the moment.
Even if the strength of many players had increased naturally and inexplicably over the past few months, the only thing that was undoubtedly the strongest [S] class was still very important.
Come to think of it, it was strange. The Game Space didn't descend again, and no one did anything, but why did the players' levels increase inexplicably?
No one would ever think that even though Chen Guang was already dead, he was still alive in a certain sense. Perhaps he was in between the living and the dead.
In the past, every time he entered the World in the Cup, it was only for a very short period of time in the real world, and no one else knew about it.
But it was different this time. If converted to the outside time, it had been from the beginning of the second semester of the fourth year until he received his graduation certificate and degree certificate.
What he entered into the World in the Cup was almost all of his soul. What was left outside, in scientific terms, was only equivalent to the little bit of intuition in his spine, which could generally control blood flow, knee jerk reflex, and so on.
But it took too long this time.
If he really died completely, then the Chen Guang in the outside world would probably be completely replaced by a soul fabricated by the Heavenly Holy Grail.
Perhaps this soul could inherit all of his memories, all of his personality, and help him complete the rest of his life.
But a fabricated soul would always be a fabricated soul, and not the real him.
But the current situation was that although he was dead, he had completely merged with the Heavenly Holy Grail, and this real world was a part of the Heavenly Holy Grail.
The current Chen Guang existed in the Cloud City of the Heavenly Holy Grail, in the Realm of True Force, and also in the real universe.
He had completely divided into countless particles, and was everywhere in all the worlds of the Heavenly Holy Grail.
Even in the real universe, he was on Earth, and in distant galaxies such as Andromeda and Orion, he was also present.
He had turned into particles, so small that it was negligible, even smaller than the so-called quark particles, but he really existed everywhere.
In the real universe, the world was still operating, although the direction of the operation was a little strange.
So he, who stayed outside, had to live like a normal person.
His soul, which had originally sunk into the Heavenly Holy Grail, was slowly crossing the barrier of time and space, and returning to his body in the real world.
As for the Realm of True Force, a billion years had passed.
Just as Chen Guang was worried, the millions of human players in the Ninth Holy City, including Chu Zijin, Zhuo Jingsi, and Lu Fei, were still unaware.
Chen Guang had disappeared for a billion years, but everyone seemed to be in no hurry. It was as if he had just found a deserted place to slack off and take a nap.
