Since he couldn't get a word in, Entity 303 decided they'd just talk over each other.

"So here's the thing, the Void is about to attack the main world. We can't stop this attack, and this time they'll definitely absorb enough power…"

"Even if you gave me all your belongings, you still can't make that kind of request!!"

"We may be able to survive this crisis, but the next time the Void shows up, we probably won't be able to escape…"

"And that white hoodie won't work either, don't even think about it!"

"The second Divine Domain Competition was heard to be fully under your charge. The Divine Domain Competition can block us from entering, so presumably, it should also be able to design a space that can block the Void from entering, right?..."

"Is it that if I don't agree, you won't write my will for me?..."

"So I want to ask you for a favor, to create such a space... I know, this request may be very risky for you..."

"But I can't find any other way either."

At this point, Entity 303's eyes turned a little red.

"My parents passed away early, I was always alone before..."

"Actually, I already saved enough money for a down payment, but I didn't go buy a house... Because I knew, what I bought would just be a house, not a home..."

"I had long forgotten what the feeling of home was."

"But after crossing into the game world, following him, it gradually made me feel a sense of home... Or rather, the people around me warmed me, gave me the feeling of home..."

At this point, Entity 303 just felt his nose sting, emotions surged up, and at this moment he didn't even notice that Rookie had already stopped speaking.

"I was too young before, had no ability to protect my family. Now, I finally have a home again, I don't want to repeat the same mistake."

"I must protect them well!"

Entity 303 spoke more and more emotionally, his emotions clearly couldn't be held back.

Entity 303 hadn't had such an emotional outburst for a long time.

Even when he was made a scapegoat for no reason, dismissed by Zero Point Company, although Entity 303 was angry, it wasn't enough to break his defense.

His feelings at this moment couldn't help but remind him of when his parents passed away.

That was when Entity 303 was still in the second year of high school.

That day was Friday, the weather was sunny and beautiful.

Entity 303, like usual, had the breakfast his mom had carefully prepared at home before going to school.

During the meal, his parents even told him that the family would go camping together on the weekend, to relax and have fun.

Entity 303 never expected, that would be the last thing his parents would ever say to him.

That evening after night study, Entity 303 returned to the neighborhood.

But outside the building, he found a sprinkler truck and an ambulance.

Entity 303 only remembered that time, everything was chaotic.

He heard people around talking that there was a fire on the 30th floor.

Upon hearing this news, Entity 303 immediately felt like thunder struck him.

The 30th floor was the floor where his home was.

Entity 303 at the time was completely stunned, looking up at the thick black smoke billowing from the 30th floor.

He had only one thought, to rush in.

Obviously, he didn't reach his goal. He was stopped just a few steps from the building.

Just like that, overnight, Entity 303 lost his home.

Later, an investigation said that someone had lit fireworks, and the sparks ignited the curtains, causing the fire.

But the person who lit the fireworks could not be found for a long time.

At that time, Entity 303 was just a high school student, protected very well by his parents, and had almost no social capability.

He also had no ability to investigate on his own.

Faced with such a thing, he was powerless. All he could do was follow the arrangements of the adults.

After this matter, Entity 303 was depressed for a long time, and even had thoughts of ending his life many times.

But in the end, he pulled through.

He got into a good university and began studying programming.

At the same time, he self-studied hacking skills.

The reason he learned hacking was also because he wanted the truth.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After many visits and investigations, and with Entity 303's outstanding hacking skills, Entity 303 finally found the culprit from back then.

Actually, the fireworks back then were lit by a little girl. Her parents were powerful and influential people, so they suppressed the matter.

When Entity 303 found the little girl, she was already in middle school.

She had always been repenting for her and her parents' actions.

The girl also truthfully told Entity 303 the exact location where she lit the fireworks.

Later, Entity 303 did a simulation experiment, and the result showed that the curtain catching fire really was accidental.

No matter what, the place where the little girl lit the fireworks, the sparks wouldn't have floated up to the floor where Entity 303 lived.

Unless, there was a northwest wind blowing that day.

And as luck would have it, during the time the girl lit the fireworks, the wind had just started to blow.

That's what caused the accident.

After Entity 303 figured everything out, he realized that fate was playing a cruel joke.

The girl did have responsibility, but it couldn't be denied that the incident truly was a coincidental accident.

After figuring some things out, Entity 303 spent a long time thinking.

Why did fate have to mess with him, play this kind of joke on him?

In the end, he let it go.

He knew, it was time to let go, time to move forward.

It was because of experiencing such a thing that there is today's Entity 303. He is strong, optimistic.

Ask yourself, in this world, what else could test a person's willpower more than suddenly losing their parents?

After surviving the darkest years, Entity 303 completely transformed.

This is also why, after being fired by Zero Point, he didn't waste time in self-doubt, but instead chose to go head-to-head with them.

This is also why, in order to take revenge on Zero Point, he let himself cross into the game, and was able to quickly accept the reality.

This is also why Entity 303 gave himself the ability to control fire.

He thought there would never again be anything that could defeat him.

But now, undoubtedly, another thing has appeared that could crush him.

After so much difficulty, he once again felt the warmth of home, once again found his family.

But he doesn't have the power to protect them.

Fate seems ready to play another joke on him.

But this time, it's different.

He knows in advance what's coming. He has time to prepare.

So no matter what method he uses, he must protect his home, protect his family.

He will never let history repeat itself again.

———

Entity 303's chest was rising and falling rapidly. He was truly afraid.

He was afraid of experiencing such a thing again.

"Why do such things always happen around me... Why can't I ever protect the people I love most..."

Seeing Entity 303's expression, Rookie also froze a little.

His wise eyes suddenly focused. "You were possessed?"

"The Mo Jiang of before would never blame the heavens or people. The Mo Jiang of before would always think of ways to overcome any difficulty."

Just as Entity 303 was about to say something after hearing Rookie's words, he was interrupted by Rookie.

At this moment, Rookie once again returned to his earlier wise expression.

"You really are fickle, huh. So many people you love. And you say those people under HIM could be family?"

"You species… really are a bit too complicated..."

"Who's the dad, who's the mom? Emmmm, the only female seems to be the Ender Queen, huh... Pets don't count, that I know..."

"I remember you also have a dragon, right? Is that dragon also considered a pet?..."

"Hu..."

"Really is a big family huh..."

At this point, Rookie scratched his head, then let out a long sigh and said, "Master said, we must understand the principle of courtesy and reciprocity."

"Since I took your clothes and also your money, then I can only agree to help you..."

Rookie was never stupid. Entity 303 being able to show such emotions to him, was enough to prove that Entity 303 didn't treat him as an outsider.

In fact, in Rookie's heart, he had always regarded Entity 303 as a friend too.

It's just that Entity 303 never responded.

Entity 303's words now, could be considered a response to Rookie.

What reason would Rookie have to not help him?

Hearing Rookie's words, Entity 303 finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Rookie excitedly and asked, "Really...?"

"This matter could be big or small. If the company finds out, even your master might not be able to protect you..."

Entity 303 did want to find a way to save his family.

But he also didn't want Rookie to lose his job over this.

Even though the money in his account, plus Rookie's own savings, should be enough for Rookie to become financially free, Entity 303 also clearly knew that a genius like Rookie had a bright future ahead.
