Chapter 1280: Godfather
Chapter 1280: Godfather
December 28, 2023
The wails and howls around him startled Su Yu. He hadn't expected such a commotion when he entered, and the intense reactions of everyone present were quite a shock.
Looking around, he saw that almost every soul was in tears, their mental states severely unstable.
"What's going on? What happened?" Su Yu asked, trying to make his soul vibrations as steady as possible.
"It's nothing much... just that it's too boring in here!"
"Yeah, there's nothing to do, and we're bored out of our minds!"
"This is worse than being in prison! I did a few years once, and compared to now, prison felt like heaven!"
...
The souls couldn't help but pour out their grievances to Su Yu. They had been on the verge of going mad from boredom for the past few days.
This was partly due to the environment inside the soul artifact. In the "Void," there were no entertainment facilities or anything to pass the time. The only thing they could do was chat, and that was it.
At first, they hadn't minded too much, spending their days chatting and passing the time. But gradually, they ran out of things to talk about. They tried to find ways to chat with others or play simple games like "soul tag," but their souls were too fragile to engage in anything too intense. Moreover, souls didn't need sleep, so the sense of being trapped grew stronger over time.
When Su Yu had last visited, everything had been relatively harmonious. But after he left for over a month, the souls were on the brink of breaking.
"It's been worse than being in prison this past month!"
"Mr. Ke, please save us and let us out!"
"I can't take much more of this. I'm about to have a mental breakdown."
The souls began to cry again.
It was only because of Su Yu's promise to help them regain their physical bodies that they had managed to hold on. Without his promise or any hope of escape, many of them would have already broken down.
...
"Ah, so that's it!" Su Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead after understanding the situation.
It turned out that their extreme state was due to boredom. But when he put himself in their shoes, he realized that if his own soul were trapped in the "Void" with nothing to do, he probably wouldn't be in much better shape.
"Mr. Ke, how is the outside world?"
"What big events have happened in the past month?"
"Didn't you go to the Fige Hub? Have you come back already?"
Some of the souls around Su Yu asked.
However, more of them were focused on their own misery, dreaming of getting out.
"The outside world... well, it varies by region. Earth hasn't had any major events recently. It's pretty barren, not much better than in here," Su Yu replied. "But I just came back from the Fige Hub, and quite a lot has happened there."
"Oh? The Fige Hub? What happened there?"
"Mr. Ke, can you tell us more about it?"
"You're back, so it looks like we have a chance to regain our bodies!"
The souls around Su Yu said with interest.
At that moment, Su Yu was surrounded by layers of souls. Not only did all the human souls in his cell gather around, but souls from other cells also hurried over, especially the high-ranking souls of the sixth and seventh tiers.
"Cough, cough. I'll explain more later," Su Yu replied. "Once more souls arrive, I can avoid repeating myself."
"Alright."
"Sure."
Everyone agreed.
They all prepared to listen to the story. The tale of how General Ke ventured to a pivotal planet they could only dream of must be fascinating.
But at that moment, Su Yu seemed to have a sudden realization.
He said seriously, "Earlier, everyone mentioned how bored they are. I think I might have a solution to this problem. Of course, it's only a temporary fix and may not solve the root cause."
"Oh? What solution?"
"General Ke, you have a way?!"
"Who cares if it's a temporary fix? Any relief would be worth it!"
Everyone immediately became excited, and the grid space rippled with their enthusiasm.
Compared to regenerating their physical bodies or the events that occurred far away in the Vige Hub, they were more concerned with solving their boredom.
Because boredom can be deadly!
"I'll go ask AI Blue Whale if we can import external visuals into 'Void.'" Su Yu said. "If it's possible, I can bring in some movies and TV shows, or footage of my time in the Vige Hub. Watching these should help alleviate some of the boredom."
"Really?!"
"Is that possible?"
"Please, make it happen!"
"If it works, I'll do anything for you, even become your servant!"
Everyone became thrilled and excited.
If they could watch movies and TV shows, even being imprisoned would be much better! If this works, General Ke would be everyone's benefactor... no, their godfather!
Some people around Su Yu even started calling out, "Godfather, this has to work!"
"Godfather, we're counting on you!"
"A life of wandering, only regretting not meeting a wise master..."
Seeing many already calling him godfather, Su Yu quickly said, "Uh, everyone... not children, everyone, please calm down. This is just an idea, and it's not certain yet... Let me go ask Blue Whale, and I'll be back shortly."
With that, Su Yu's soul left "Void" and temporarily returned to the outside world.
As for the area left vacant by Su Yu's departure, no one dared to occupy it.
Even the nearby souls voluntarily moved back a few steps to make more room for Su Yu's return.
Su Yu did not disappoint.
A few minutes later, he returned to the soul artifact, his soul reappearing in the same spot.
As soon as he appeared, Su Yu announced loudly, "Everyone, the idea is feasible! Blue Whale says it's possible, and I'll start working on transmitting audio and visual content shortly."
"Really? That's amazing!"
"Damn!!!"
"Ah? We're saved!"
"Godfather, please accept my respect!"
"Godfather, coming up with this solution, you're a genius!"
The grid space was once again filled with excited souls!
And this time, the excitement was even more intense, with some souls nearly fainting from sheer joy!
The good news quickly spread from Su Yu to the outer layers.
Many souls on the periphery couldn't receive Su Yu's soul message and didn't know what he was talking about.
But once they heard the news, everyone was overjoyed.
With just this one benefit, Su Yu could easily be everyone's "godfather"!
