Chapter 369: 369
Chapter 369 Come Closer
“No, that’s impossible . There aren’t any flaws with my design . I repeatedly checked,” Evil Scientist said confidently .
“Your design is indeed problematic . Otherwise, why did the machine explode in the end? Also, I wanted to complain about you a long time ago . Was it necessary to make an automatic popcorn machine two buildings tall? You even used nuclear energy to power them! Are you serious? Your quantum collider is only as big as a biscuit box!”
“This is some sort of… contrasting beauty . But that is not the point . The point is that you operated the automatic popcorn machine wrongly, and it killed my wife and daughter . Now, you want to push the responsibility to me? That’s too much . ”
“On the contrary, your design has been flawed from the beginning . We just did what you asked us to do . Then the machine exploded . ”
“No, it was your fault . You already admitted it . And the main operator, Phantom Ninja, also admitted that it was his mistake as well . ”
The bald man(Baldy) shrugged, “That was just to make you feel better . We all know how important your wife and daughter were to you, so we decided to refrain from telling you the truth after we discussed it . After all, you have done a lot for us . On the other hand, we didn’t get a chance to do anything for you, and we didn’t want you to blame yourself for the mistakes you’ve made . I know you well . If you knew that you were the one who actually killed them, you would drown in your guild until the day you die . ” “Oh, you don’t know me at all . ”
“No, I know you very well . I said that I admired you very much, and you’re like my idol . I know everything about you . I even rummaged through your trash!”

“That’s a bit too much . ”
“It was one of those stupid things I did before, I know . I told myself that I wouldn’t do it again . Do you remember that time in Tangxia? A dangerous building was about to collapse, and a group of children was playing downstairs . You showed up at the critical point and demolished the building, rescuing them in the end . At that time, news channels covered it for a whole week, and the internet was abuzz with the praises that people had for you . However, you still became depressed for an entire month because a block from the building you demolished accidentally crushed a stray cat . You blamed the incident on yourself because it wasn’t actually under the building when you demolished it . In other words, the building should have never been able to hurt it . The cat was killed instead by the block you tossed . I have never seen you blame yourself so much . ”
Baldy shook his head, “You thought you were the one who caused its death . You were feeling so guilty that you couldn’t even eat properly . Sometimes you… are really too harsh on yourself . I can’t imagine how you’ll be when you discover that you were actually the one who killed your wife and daughter . How will you punish yourself? I don’t even know if your heart is strong enough to face this . ”
“Well, even if you know about the Tangxia incident, it still doesn’t prove the explosion wasn’t your fault . ”
“You don’t actually believe what I said, don’t you?” Baldy sighed, “If you need proof, fine, Messenger . ”
Messenger: “…??????”
“Help me contact Ocean King and tell him to send the video to my mailbox . ”
Messenger nodded, immediately assembling a homing pigeon .
“What video?” Evil Scientist frowned .

“Ocean King works at Zhujiang New Town . It’s very close to here . You will know soon about the video,” said Baldy .
The pigeon came back ten minutes later . Baldy then quickly built a laptop and turned to ask Evil Scientist, “What is your WiFi
password?”
“Ilovechangzeyamei . ”
“Wow, you haven’t changed your WiFi password for almost ten years!”
“So what? As long as Nagasawa Masami is still acting, my password will not change,” Evil Scientist proudly proclaimed .
“Okay, okay…” Baldy typed in the password and pressed Enter . “Okay . Now I’m connected to the internet . You want to come closer and check out the video?”
When he heard that, Evil Scientist moved from where he stood and came to Baldy’s side .
“Come a little closer, the screen is a kind of small . ”
Evil Scientist held back for two seconds, moved closer, and stood almost side by side with Baldy .
“Ha! Next, I will open my mailbox . ”
“Wow! You have a lot of junk mail!” Evil Scientist frowned as his head shook .
“Yeah, I can’t help it . They keep sending me these spam emails, and I can’t delete them in time . ”
“Really? And you even registered for an adult forum?” Evil Scientist asked curiously .
“No . You must have seen wrongly . ”
Baldy then clicked on the new mail sent by Ocean King as fast as he could .
The attachment was a video file, and after clicking the play button, a huge factory building appeared on the screen .
Evil Scientist’s face immediately changed, “This is…”
“Yes, your laboratory . To be more precise, this is your previous laboratory . ”
The video shook a little—the recording should be from a handheld DVR, and the person behind the camera seemed extremely excited . He pointed to the massive microwave-like machine in front of him and said, “Did you see it? It is a nuclear-powered automatic popcorn machine! Use this! This popcorn machine is so cool!!! Oh, I can’t believe such a cool popcorn machine exists in the world!”
“I love the Scientist . His inventions are not only practical, but they are very cool as well! I want to ask him to create something for me when I move into a new house . I need one of his inventions in my life,” a voice said .
“Forget it, can you put that in your new home? Doesn’t it use enriched uranium as fuel?! Does that mean that the next time we have popcorn, they’ll be genetically modified? But it’s still cool…” exclaimed another voice .
At the same time, the camera rotated and aimed at the eyes of Ocean King . The person then started to zoom in on his face quickly, before zooming out again . By repeating it, the person seemed he would never get tired of it .
“Have you guys always been this stupid when I was away?” Evil Scientist asked in disgust .
“Not all the time… but most of the time, yes . We have to have some fun, too,” said Baldy .
While the two talked, a voice in the video said, “Let’s see who is here, our little birthday star!”
“Oh! Oh! Oh!!!” Everyone roared, and the camera finally stopped pointing the poorly focussed Ocean King’s face . This time the camera was pointing toward a woman with a little girl . The little girl was so shy that she hugged her mother tightly .
Evil Scientist was shocked when he saw the video, “Qianqian, and Mengjie . ” A gentle look appeared on his face, “I miss you so very much . ”

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...
