Little Gui's livestream.
Following Aventurine's perspective.
The edges of the screen seed to fall into so kind of spectrum.
The colors were so dazzling it was almost blinding!
All the players watching knew very well.
This indicated that Aventurine was growing weaker under the influence of the holy baptism!
Guinaifen sighed, "Aventurine is really pitiful~"
"To investigate information, he's handing out gems on the streets like a pyramid sche salesman."
"And then he gets mocked by Sparkle…"
"But then again."
"Sparkle truly lives up to her title as the 'Director Sparkle'!"
"She told Aventurine a fact—besides Robin, there's another mute in Penacony who fits the criteria!"
"Who could that be?"
"Little Gui thinks it's most likely our protagonist, the Trailblazer!"
Aventurine seed to have already gotten what he wanted to know from Sparkle.
Even as the patterns on the edges of the screen grew heavier.
He still spoke with unwavering confidence: "I'll handle the rest myself: I'll prepare a grand opening performance for the family's downfall. When it reaches its climax, the walls will collapse, people will awaken, and those who cannot speak will find their voices again—"
"—When that ti cos, please press the button and set off a big firework to cheer on. See you later, fool."
Sparkle imdiately burst into unrestrained laughter.
"You still have the nerve to boast at this point… But alright, it's a deal."
"You better not disappoint , okay?"
...
"Why does it feel like Sparkle knows everything?"
"Did she really get the script?"
"Truly the Director Sparkle!"
"Aventurine, bro, your DEF is really high. You've been mocked by Sparkle like this, yet your emotions are still so stable?"
"I'm starting to believe Aventurine might really be Preservation. Who else could endure so much pressure besides Preservation?"
...
After the scene of Aventurine and Sparkle's conversation ended.
Another flashback of Aventurine suddenly appeared!
Now.
The players were sowhat accustod to it!
They were already speculating about what scenes this flashback would reveal.
The scene unfolded.
This ti, it wasn't the young Aventurine from his childhood.
At first glance, he looked about the sa age as the current Aventurine!
But in the scene.
His hair was disheveled.
He wore a tattered prison uniform.
He seed to be locked up in a prison.
A stark contrast to the glamorous Aventurine everyone knew now!
In fact.
Many players didn't even realize it at first!
Until the [cold male voice] in the background spoke: "Back again, Number 35? Do you like your talisman?"
Aventurine: "Can a product code really be a talisman?"
"Shut up. I didn't allow you to speak, Ziganian hyena."
Aventurine: "…"
This scene.
Left many players utterly shocked!
...
"Oh my god! What's going on!"
"He had such a miserable childhood, being hunted by the Catacans and living day to day, but now even his teenage years were this bad?"
"My poor Aventurine! It's just one tragedy after another, isn't it?"
"Even in Zigania, there is their own Dan Heng (sigh)."
"Holy crap! So the numbers on Aventurine's neck are actually a product code?"
"This is the mark of Aventurine's slavery..."
"I thought it was so kind of trendy tattoo and even got a similar one!"
"Damn! I'm crying my eyes out!"
"This is not the Aventurine I knew... If it weren't for the plot, I would never have imagined he had such a past!"
"I was so shocked I dropped my chopsticks!"
...
And there's even more to co!
According to the "slave owner,"
Aventurine was bought for just sixty Taanba (copper coins)!
For many people,
That's just a day's worth of food!
And back then, Aventurine was only worth that much!
In an instant,
Many in the comnts expressed a desire to travel back in ti to buy Aventurine themselves...
At that mont,
Aventurine, still a slave, suddenly said, "...I want to make a bet with you."
"Half of sixty, thirty coins... If I can co back alive, you have to give them to . Do you dare to bet?"
The cold-hearted man let out an arrogant laugh: "Haha, you want to bet with ? Fine, you've got guts!"
"—But sorry, no way. Slave, don't forget your place. You don't even have the right to sit at the table."
"You're just a chip, tossed around by others. Either bring back more chips for your master, or... never co back."
"All or nothing—don't embarrass , lucky one."
...
The Reverie Hotel.
On the scene.
Watching this part of the story,
Aventurine couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The mories of the past suddenly ca alive to attack him...
He subconsciously touched the code on his neck.
A flash of pain crossed his eyes.
Yes...
This was indeed the mark of his slavery.
Even though he had risen to his current position!
Because of this code, because of this past...
He was still looked down upon by so.
Mocked behind his back for his experiences.
It could be said,
This part of the story,
For anyone in a position of power, was an undeniable "dark history"!
And now,
Yu Ling had actually included this experience in the plot.
Now, everyone in the universe knew he had once been a slave!
Aventurine noticed,
So people around him were already casting sympathetic and strange glances.
However,
Aventurine simply smiled in relief.
He muttered to himself, "Everyone, want to see panic, lose my temper?"
"Sorry to disappoint you."
"This is indeed my past, but it was also a turning point in my life, a gamble. Since I won, why should I reject this history?"
"Just like this code on my neck."
"Heh... I could have had it removed surgically, but I chose not to."
"Because it's a reminder, a driving force for to keep moving forward."
"If you want to use this to humiliate , go ahead."
"Try and see if you can break ."
Beside him,
The Bloodhound from the family tasked with watching over Aventurine wanted to say sothing.
But in the end, he remained silent.
Another Bloodhound was much more straightforward.
He gave Aventurine a heavy pat on the shoulder.
His eyes actually showing a look of admiration!
"Bro, we're all n here. Who doesn't have a past they'd rather forget?"
"I totally get you!"
"No, I really admire you."
"Climbing your way out of such a desperate situation must have been excruciating, right?"
Aventurine: "..."
"Ahem... thanks."
"But let's not get too close. If your boss sees us, it won't look good."
"Right, right, let's get back to the story!"
The two Bloodhounds exchanged a knowing smile with Aventurine.
If Sunday hadn't been nearby,
they probably would have sworn brotherhood with Aventurine on the spot!
Aventurine tapped his head.
Whether in reality or online,
the comnts about him were surprisingly different from what he had imagined?
Not only was there no sarcasm as he had anticipated...
but instead, he received sympathy and recognition from everyone?
What was going on here!
He was supposed to be the big villain!
Had Yu Ling's character developnt gone off track?
