Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 480 Simplicity is the Best

As Xing looked at the list of "Don't be afraid" and "Don't regret" on the report, a sense of unease rose within her.

She seemed to have discovered something.

"Could it be...?"

"This person fell asleep while printing the report, their face was pressed against the keyboard! And then a bunch of gibberish was generated?"

"Yes, that's right, that should be it!"

Xing nodded confidently, put down the report, and picked up another one.

[Geography and Planning Department Budget Report (Part 9)]

Global Geography Department Monthly Budget Report

1. Purchase 3 portions of ███ slices from Belleberg.

The following is a brief description of the excavation environment of ███, as well as details of the component analysis of ███.

This ███, with pioneering as its main theme, can be roughly divided into heroic spirit, ██████, adventurous experiences, companions, and ███████.

2. Purchased ███ with special properties from Luofu.

The following are the analysis results of the properties of ███. For details of the experimental process, please refer to the project report.

Astral Gaze did not affect the fundamental nature of ███.

There is a possibility of breaking free from ██.

No, no one can leave ██.

Don't go on stage, don't become a hero, there are only ███, ███, and ███.

Do not choose that path of sorrow.

“Every day, when I ask you to print out an expense report, it’s either windy or rainy.”

"Do you still want reimbursement? Don't add to the workload of the administrative department!!"

Xing slammed the report onto the table.

Just then, she suddenly noticed a guy in red clothes at the door who looked familiar.

However, before Xing could speak, the red-clad guy spoke first.

If you're trying to say, "Have we met somewhere before?", then I can answer you, "No."

"Look, you clearly know me."

Xing keenly noticed the flaw in his words.

The mysterious clerk, A, shook his head. "No, you're mistaken. We really don't know each other."

“But I really feel like we have…” Xing began to doubt herself.

She stepped forward and read his employee ID card, which contained only a simple "A" and nothing else. His department was "Home Economics"... Come to think of it, does the space station even have such a department?

"Speaking of which, Uncle A, don't you feel like you don't belong here?"

"Uncle A?"

"That's right, aren't you called A?"

“Uncle A, I don’t think we should be here! You must be a summoned Heroic Spirit. I dreamt that I was involved in the Holy Grail War.”

The mysterious clerk A nodded helplessly. "I understand, I understand. Every day, a dozen clerks come to chat with me, and they all declare that they don't belong here."

"To feel that one should belong somewhere else just because one's current life is unsatisfactory is nothing more than another glorified excuse for escaping reality."

"Even if you escape to other places, as long as your regressive nature doesn't change, you'll eventually have nowhere to go."

"In my opinion, this place is pretty good. There's no global crisis, no freaks trying to destroy humanity. The kitchen is also convenient, except for the slightly odd ingredients."

"Although there's still a young girl who 'spends jewels like dirt,' it's still an ideal world for most people."

"An ordinary life... it's too late to regret it after you've left."

The mysterious clerk A patiently advised him, and he seemed to be right: a simple and ordinary life is the best.

Xing glanced at him, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Something just doesn't feel right.

The enigmatic clerk, A, sighed. "Gone with the idea? I knew it, you weren't that keen on leaving, were you?"

Xing shook her head and continued walking back to finish her work.

After several hours, the long process of organizing was finally completed.

Although the feeling of unease still lingered in her mind, Xing thought it best to take a break before resolving it.

Before we knew it, several days had passed.

Xing has gradually begun to adapt to life here.

She suddenly felt that working here wasn't so bad. After all, the universe is forever filled with war, poverty, and hunger. Life on the space station, for them, was like paradise.

Exhausted and sleepy, Xing drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean.

Floating, quietly on the surface of the dream, remaining in the moment before sinking.

Saber stood quietly before the sea, gazing into the distance.

Suddenly, she spoke.

"Well, let's tell you the story of a king, a king named Uther."

"Before I arrived, he ruled over the people of Britain. After I arrived, in order to defend the people of Britain, he launched an attack on the all-destroying white dragon, which ended in defeat."

"Even so, people still call him the greatest king. In your opinion, what makes him a hero?"

"The glory of being a king? The merit of being a knight? The courage of being a human being?"

Upon hearing the answer, Saber shook her head.

"No, the names of the kings of the various tribes like him have not been passed down."

"Raising his sword to challenge a dragon he could never defeat, his sword broke, his bow snapped, and his head was severed from his body. Everything he did as a human was destined to fail..."

"But the way he raised his sword to save something left a star in the darkest night of Britain."

"The stars we see are not what they are really like, but the light is not a lie. It will shine for a very long time, until it illuminates the path of the next hero."

"On the stage, the nameless Heroic Spirit, Miss Note, called our lives what she did, and she used her Noble Phantasm to erase the brilliance of the stars."

“But… Master, if you still have courage… if you are willing to become a star, all the audience watching you will also take the stage and become heroes.”

"Unconsciously, I uttered some profound truths, even though it was just a clumsy imitation of Merlin."

"So, where are you?"

Saber sighed, but her voice was full of hope.

"I am waiting for someone to take the stage, and I am also riding across the wilderness. The dream is about to end, Master, for me and for you."
