Chapter 668: Chapter 312: Dreams

"I want to be a Great Hero. Of course, I want to be a Great Hero. I will definitely become a Great Hero," Han Zhun said, his eyes widening and his face showing a look of disbelief. He repeated it again, "I want to be a Great Hero. Of course, I want to be a Great Hero. I will definitely become a Great Hero."

He raised his voice, "I want to be a Great Hero."

Then, he stood up and shouted at the sky, "I must become a Great Hero!"

"I will definitely become a Great Hero! I will sweep away all the Green Forest!"

"I! Want! To! Be! A! Great! Hero!"

"Enough, enough," Yuki tugged at him, "Don’t shout too loud. Although there’s no surveillance equipment here, if someone hears us, we might be in serious trouble."

Protectors have always had a lot of leeway in defining and enforcing "anti-human behavior". Normally, "befriending a Hero," "trading with a Hero," or "verbally supporting Heroic deeds" does not violate the Dyson Principle—as long as there’s no substantive participation in activities against the government.

However, the Lords have a lot of discretion. "To what extent count as directly confronting the government," they each have their interpretations, which can even adjust according to the mood and needs of the local high-level military officers.

As long as the interpretation of one’s actions is not too outrageous and they don’t run into trouble with big names above, the Lords can generally achieve "unknowable punishment."

Liu Ri waved his hand, and the drone returned to his wrist. He said, "It’s fine, there’s no one around, and there’re no electromagnetic waves being emitted. At least here, we can speak freely."

Speaking of which, Liu Ri also stood up and shouted at the sky, "I also want to become a Great Hero! Famous on Earth! Famous in the Solar System! Protectors will tremble at the mention of my name!"

Yuki thought for a moment, then said, "If I have to say something..." He also stood up and cried out to the sky, "I hope before I die, I can see the day when Justice prevails!"

"Wow," Liu Ri was startled and quickly added, shouting, "Same here!"

Yuki continued to shout, "After victory! I want to be! An athlete!"

Liu Ri was surprised again, "Wow, making such a wish, then I will too!" He raised his voice and shouted at the sky, "After victory, I want to go to the Scientific Knight Order to study metallurgy!"

Yuki corrected him, "By then there won’t be any Church of Yawgmoth. It should be called an ’institute’ or ’university’ or something."

"Oh right, yeah." Liu Ri nodded and immediately amended his cry to the heavens, "Then no need for the Order of Knights. Let me go to university!"

As he spoke, Liu Ri looked at Han Zhun, "Do you want to say something?"

Han Zhun was completely dumbfounded now. He had just begun to understand "Hero", understand "the fight of a Hero", but had never thought about "after victory". He asked, "After victory... what does ’after victory’ mean?"

"It means a time without the current government," Yuki explained. "There will be something else... Whatever the system, it’s probably a normal organization formed by the people. The current government wasn’t always there from the start."

Han Zhun bowed his head in contemplation, "Then what about Justice?"

"Justice? Justice is just a tool to reach that era." Yuki was firm on this point, "If there’s no Tyrant, there’s no need for assassins. If there’s no tyranny, there’s no need for Guerrilla Teams. In that bright era, the light of justice will fade on its own."

Han Zhun bowed his head in contemplation. This was the first time he thought about this issue. To him, "becoming a Great Hero" meant "joining a great battle". He hadn’t had the chance to consider "after the mission is completed".

"So far, no Hero dares to be sure that they can end the battle in their generation. But, everyone must have some hope in their hearts," Liu Ri also said, "We don’t fight just to fight. There must be something important we’re fighting for. Fighting just for the sake of fighting is essentially taking the wrong path."

Yuki nodded as well, "Even if you truly love Martial Arts, what you need to think about now should be ’I want an environment where I can wholeheartedly refine my skills’."

Yuki never doubted this statement.

Because it was personally said by the inventor of all cyber martial arts today.

Pursuers of the pinnacle of martial arts should despise a chaotic world even more. Only in a well-governed world can people not worry about survival, and focus wholly on studying and refining their skills, constantly seeking the top figures in the same field.

Han Zhun fell into deep thought. But soon, he shouted at the sky, "By then, I will definitely! Get the answer!"

Liu Ri was shocked for the third time, "That answer is too clever."

The three young men looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

...........................

After laughing, the trio naturally resumed their journey.

Yuki found some more garbage in the rubbish mountain and tied it together with that transmission shaft. This way, this extraordinary weapon was less conspicuous.

"Who’s carrying this?" Yuki said, "None of our Prosthetic Bodies are really suitable. Giving it together to Matsushima Instructor... that doesn’t seem right either."

"You guys carry it!" Han Zhun said, "Surely there’s a Hero who can use this thing."

Liu Ri patted Han Zhun on the shoulder, "You’re pretty good at this. If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you to a few friends."

After this incident, Liu Ri had pretty much fully accepted this new brother, planning to introduce him to other Heroes and, when the opportunity arises, teach him how to properly search for "heroic" resources online.

The ability to collect information online is actually something that needs specific training. Without conscious cultivation, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of the internet.

If one doesn’t consciously train this ability, then ordinary people wanting to access related resources can only rely on "luck".

Yuki said nothing more and directly passed Han Zhun a document, noting some common resources acquisition strategies. Heroes always hide relevant content in corners of the internet, waiting for a "person with destiny" to access them. Those who manage to reach these corners often know how to hide themselves. This ensures that new Heroes aren’t directly eliminated by the government.

The trio chatted and laughed and quickly returned to Pine Eagle City.

Yuki and Liu Ri parted ways with Han Zhun here. Although they had recognized Han Zhun, he hadn’t undergone any training and might not withstand secrets. They couldn’t directly take Han Zhun to meet others yet.

The two walked towards the prearranged rendezvous.

But before they reached the place, a pair of hands clapped on their shoulders.

Ai Tielang emerged from the shadows, "You’re slow. Don’t go there now. It’s not safe anymore."
