"What exactly happened to Mr. Qi?!"
During the live stream earlier, the viewers were so engrossed in the great deeds Mr. Qi had accomplished.
With each passing moment of shock and anticipation,
they had developed a habitual trust.
So this time, when Mr. Qi returned to Happiness Community,
they, as always, were looking forward to what surprises he would bring.
They hadn't noticed his unusual behavior at all.
Now, as they recalled, they quickly found something amiss.
"When Mr. Qi first appeared, he seemed to be in a daze? He looked a bit lost."
"Do you guys remember what Mr. Qi said after he stopped that woman in the suit?"
[He said: Why aren't you happy?]
After the anomaly in Happiness Community, he also said:
[This way... you can be happy. Right?]
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered. When Mr. Qi's soul appeared in the abandoned Xiangshui Village, he also said something.
It seemed to be asking: How can happiness be achieved?"
...
The viewers chimed in, piecing together the information they had noticed.
In just one minute, they had gathered most of the important clues.
From Mr. Qi's question in Xiangshui Village, to his subsequent actions that propelled human development, and then his dazed state in Happiness Community...
It was not difficult to draw a conclusion:
Mr. Qi seemed to have... become confused about the definition of happiness?
This ultimately led to the abnormality in Happiness Community?
From Mr. Qi's actions at the beginning, it was evident that at that time, Mr. Qi's understanding of happiness was very firm.
And he implemented it without hesitation.
That is: improving people's living conditions.
But why did he become confused later?
The viewers recalled Mr. Qi's every move during his last appearance.
Suddenly, they fell silent.
"For Mr. Qi, everything in modern times,
should be something the villagers of Xiangshui Village, no matter how much they longed for or strived for, could not obtain."
"So, in Mr. Qi's view, the current living environment is already very good."
"At least, everyone has the opportunity to pursue happiness."
He worked hard to advance the progress of history, improving people's lives.
Until now—
People are well-fed and clothed.
Life is convenient.
But everyone... still seems unhappy?
Their brows are furrowed with worry.
"So, that's why he became confused about the definition of happiness."
And that's why the anomaly in Happiness Community occurred.
...
Thinking of this,
the viewers couldn't help but look around.
Is their living environment good?
—Very good.
It's a thousand times better than in Mr. Qi's era.
Then why are they unhappy...?
Are they... unhappy?
At this moment, a look of confusion appeared on some viewers' faces.
Is everything they are currently facing really as difficult as they imagine?
Is it difficult compared to Xiangshui Village?
At least,
they still have the opportunity to strive and to fight for it, don't they?
Houses and cars are expensive.
But as long as they save money diligently, they can afford them.
If that doesn't work, they can rent houses and cars. There are always ways.
It's true that it's painful when a girlfriend leaves.
But the world is so big, maybe, just maybe... they can meet someone better?
It's difficult to pass postgraduate entrance exams or civil service exams.
But as long as they work hard, there's a chance to succeed.
"..."
The viewers scratched their heads.
If their mental knots are untangled, the world seems quite vast?
...
...
The next day, one topic after another surged onto the trending list.
#MrQi, Unresolved Regret#
#The Moment War Breaks Out, There Are No Winners#
#The Process of Human History Advancement Revealed!!#
#Are You Happy Now#
#What Exactly Happened in Those Missing Seconds#
...
Each topic had tens of thousands of discussions.
This made some netizens who had just woken up stunned.
"Didn't I just work overtime last night? What did I miss?"
They casually clicked into a topic.
"Oh, so the streamer started broadcasting, that makes sense... Wait!?"
They actually missed last night's live stream?!
And judging by the trending topics, it seemed incredibly exciting!
"Damn it! Missed a fortune!"
The netizens who missed out quickly clicked through the topics one by one.
They were astonished.
They were exclaiming in disbelief.
"Holy cow! Civilizations before the current human history!?"
"The Qilin entered the world to help humans end the chaotic natural disasters, yet they were killed by humans?!"
Who was so brainless?
"Holy crap! So that's how Ben Cao Gang Mu came about?!"
"An unknown entity appeared in the live stream, and all viewers' memories were erased for a few seconds?!"
The more the netizens read, the more heartbroken they became.
They actually, actually missed it!
"(Crying jpg.) Why didn't I see it,呜呜呜..."
"Mr. Qi died so unjustly, ahhhh!"
"Did all the villagers of Xiangshui Village die in the end?"
Seeing these newly emerged comments,
the viewers said: "Don't say anymore, we've seen it, and we're crying too."
Unresolved regret!
"Even for Mr. Qi's sake, I will strive to be happy!"
"I suddenly want to study history."
...
History?
Those studying history can't sleep right now!
Tang Tianze (Dancing) looked at the large library behind him while browsing the comments.
He silently added: No, those who love reading history books can't sleep either.
In the library,
Ye Youshi, and a group of young or white-haired elders,
were gathered around a pile of books.
Sometimes discussing, sometimes taking notes.
They were so excited, it was as if they had become three hundred years younger!
"I don't understand the world of scholars..."
Tang Tianze sighed.
Just as he was about to find someone to chat with,
his gaze shifted to Jiang Xian, who was typing on his laptop on the sofa, and he curiously asked:
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Xian's hands didn't stop. "Some matters concerning my dad's company, he asked me to help look into them."
"Oh..."
Tang Tianze withdrew his gaze.
Alright, these are all big shots.
Is he the only one idle?
As he was thinking, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
The caller—Jiang Ziwei.
Alright, this is another scholar who can draw talismans.
After Jiang Ziwei graduated from university, he was directly recruited into the Supernatural Affairs Office.
Up to now, excluding the assistants who handle miscellaneous tasks,
the Supernatural Affairs Office has had 4 main members.
Tang Tianze glanced at it and answered the phone:
"Hello?"
Listening to the voice on the other end, he raised his eyebrows.
Is there a job?
...
...
"Did all the villagers of Xiangshui Village really perish?"
"Xiangshui Village was occupied and later became desolate. It's estimated no one survived."
"Ah... If they had survived, would they, or their descendants, still have preserved the Qilin blood from that time?"
"It's been so long, who knows."
Just as netizens across the country were hotly discussing last night's live stream,
on a certain street in the early morning—
Several moving company trucks slowly stopped in front of a shop.
Then, the doors opened.
Several men in blue uniforms quickly got out of the trucks.
