Positive internet celebrity (13):  Song of Life, World Tree

After hearing this, the captain immediately ordered the first mate beside him to get the sextometer.

Si Qi walked to the side of the lifeboat without hesitation, stood beside the crew, and said to everyone: “Don’t worry! Let the elderly, children, women and the injured get on board first!”

The noisy crowd in the queue suddenly quieted down. The few people who were originally full of dissatisfaction and anxiety and had burst into conflict stopped arguing with unwillingness after hearing it.

Many young men who were in the front of the line and could get on the boat directly looked at Si Qi, then stepped out silently, letting the people behind them get on first.

Many women had red eyes and kept crying. When they passed by these young people holding their children, they kept crying and thanking them.

As a result, more and more people voluntarily gave up their seats to allow those who were more in need to leave first.

This scene was all captured by the camera.

People looked at Si Qi quietly, obeyed his commands, and tried their best to suppress their emotions. In his gentle and calm voice, on the ship that was heading towards a desperate situation, they maintained their dignity and honor as human beings and faced everything rationally.

Many netizens were stunned by what they saw. Many foreign netizens murmured:

[Chinese people always unite in times of crisis. This is a miracle we cannot imagine]

[It’s hard to imagine the feelings of those who volunteered to stay until the end, they are heroes!!]

[I’ve already cried]

The crew distributed life jackets in an orderly manner and repeated the self-rescue precautions again and again. No one made a noise or cried, and they all tried their best to cooperate.

Before a girl boarded the boat, she could no longer suppress her anxiety, turned around, and shouted to Si Qi: “47 should also come up!! I will trade my seat with you!!”

Everyone was silent for a moment, all looking at Si Qi. For a moment, no one raised any objections.

Si Qi shook his head: “Thank you, but I hope you can be rescued first. Don’t worry, there are enough lifeboats for all of us, and there is still a lot of time. I will not be in danger.”

Then he asked the crew to ask the girl to come on board so that the team could continue to move forward.

The girl looked at him with red eyes, and her tearful eyes were filled with reluctance to leave.

When the boat was lowered, the girl could still be seen lying helplessly on her legs, covering her face and sobbing.

She said: “The ship is about to sink… What if there are not enough lifeboats and he is lying to us…”

People around her comforted her that it wouldn’t happen.

The girl choked up and cried, “But with his personality, he won’t get on the boat until everyone is rescued! I know it!”

Everyone on the boat suddenly became quiet. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked upwards. Unfortunately, they could only see the blue and white iron skin of the ship.

Si Qi watched as groups of people left. The captain walked up to him, handed him a life jacket, and said softly, “You should leave. The hull is squeezed to a certain extent and may break in half in an instant and sink to the bottom of the sea. By then, we won’t even have time to stay on the boat, and everyone will be sucked into the whirlpool.”

Si Qi also lowered his voice and said to him: “I said that I will protect their safety, guard their backs, and be the last one to leave.”

The captain turned his head and looked at Si Qi, watching quietly.

Finally, he couldn’t help but sigh slowly: “You really… deserve to be liked by everyone.”

Si Qi just smiled faintly, and like many times before, he said, “Thank you for your love, I’m very happy.”

Then, he walked to the deck and watched the survivors rowing away slowly. He smiled brightly and waved goodbye to them.

Then, he put down his arms, walked to the camera, and held up the camera. There was no sadness on his face from beginning to end. He was just as positive and sunny as when he first appeared in front of everyone, full of positive energy.

He said to Chu Feng who was sitting on a chair nearby: “The injured should be the first to leave.”

Chu Feng said expressionlessly: “Before I am a wounded soldier, I am first and foremost your brother.”

Si Qi and Chu Feng looked at each other, and they both knew that neither of them could persuade the stubborn other.

There was a well-maintained musical instrument lying on the ground. Probably in order to make room for more people, the owner of the instrument reluctantly left it here.

Si Qi picked it up, stroked the strings lightly with his fingertips, and said to Chu Feng, “Are you interested in listening to the last song I play for you?”

Chu Feng understood what Si Qi meant and said with a smile: “Of course, this is my honor.”

Si Qi leaned against the gradually tilting and sinking deck, trying to keep his body balanced.

Then, music followed his fingertips and Si Qi recalled everything that had happened in this world.

The surging waves, which constantly rise and fall with the force of gravity, hit the hull.

The strong yet gentle singing voice, transmitted through the camera to every corner of the world, was more powerful than a storm and more shocking than a disaster.

He sang softly: “The wind and rain are our instruments”

“Take a step forward to restart your journey!”

“I am indestructible, I am unstoppable”

“When the thunderstorm comes, it can’t wipe out our memories”

“We stand up in hope!”

Music has no boundaries. Even if they didn’t understand the lyrics, they could easily feel his truest emotions.

Fearless, full of hope, and the most sincere blessings.

The ship made a loud bang and the deck began to shake. The people in the queue screamed in surprise. Si Qi did not stop, but raised his head slightly to look at the sky and sang loudly.

This was his last gift to the world, called the gift of courage.

“Across a thousand nights, looking into the sky”

“Put my treasure in a box and send it to space!”

“Look up! The starry sky is my gift!”

“After darkness comes morning”

“We will definitely meet again under the sun…”

The ship began to tilt little by little, and then suddenly broke in two. Many people cried their last tears in their last moments of life.

Si Qi lowered his head, and his ethereal voice like a siren sang in everyone’s ears: “Believe it, we will meet again under the sun…”

Crack, bang!

The ship broke apart, and the waves beat against the deck, boom, boom, as if death was approaching like a nightmare. Those who had not been able to leave screamed and slammed heavily against the railings, groaning in pain.

Audiences all over the world screamed in despair. They slammed the table frantically and called out Si Qi’s name, praying that this young man who had grown up with them could survive.

Si Qi didn’t want his departure to bring bad memories to everyone, so he stood up from the railing with difficulty, took the camera, wiped off the mirror that was blurred by the sea water, and said with a smile: “It’s getting late, I also want to leave, it’s time to say goodbye.”

[don’t want!!]

[47!!!!]

[please!!]

Si Qi didn’t look at the camera. He curled his lips slightly and said in a low voice: “Dad, Mom, everyone… I, I really love you.”

He had never thought that they would have to say goodbye in such a hasty way in this life. Taking a deep breath, Si Qi smiled and said, “Thank you, I have lived a very happy life!!”

After saying this, Si Qi put down the camera without hesitation and threw it into the sea.

Boom, boom.

The waves were like peaks and the camera slipped through his fingertips.

The next moment, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Chu Feng. Cries of disbelief and shouts rang out from the sobbing crowd, who shouted loudly: [Master!!!]

Si Qi paused, as if he realized something.

He subconsciously grabbed the falling camera stand, slowly raised his head, and looked towards the distant horizon along the line of sight of the crowd.

Several dark, bird-like spots kept approaching, getting faster and faster, and getting bigger and bigger.

Si Qi’s stunned expression gradually turned into surprise, and then into uncontrollable excitement!

The deck, which was originally filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere, was then erupted into waves of cheers. Si Qi and Chu Feng excitedly gave each other a big hug and laughed out loud with their heads raised.

After a long time, Si Qi remembered the existence of the camera and smiled brilliantly. He raised the camera again, aimed at the helicopters that were getting closer and closer, and said, “It’s a sudden turn of events!! The rescue arrived in time!! Thank you all for your help!!”

People suddenly came to their senses from the overwhelming sorrow, and the next second, they cried even more passionately.

But this time, they were tears of joy.

……

…

It had been a year since the kidnapping incident. The sensation it caused at the time can be imagined, and it had caused a strong chain reaction in society. The turmoil had continued to this day and had not completely subsided. People would bring it up from time to time.

After Chu Feng recovered from his injury, the neighbor older brother’s nagging towards Si Qi was even more terrifying than Si Qi’s father and mother combined.

The reason was simple and sufficient: “You said that after the incident is over, you would listen to me no matter how much I complain.”

Hundreds of millions of people heard what he said, and he couldn’t find any reason to refute it. For a long time, Si Qi didn’t dare to speak loudly in front of Chu Feng, and when he visited the patient, he smiled so much that his face was almost stiff.

In order to take care of Chu Feng’s recovery from his mobility problems, he basically did not go out during that period and stayed by Chu Feng’s side the whole day to take care of him.

He didn’t shoot videos anymore, at most he did some live broadcasts occasionally.

Because it was a live broadcast at home, people all over the world saw Si Qi looking pitiful like a young wife in front of Chu Feng, smiling happily as if he was gloating over a misfortune.

Everyone was quite happy with the relationship between Si Qi and Chu Feng.

It was precisely because of Chu Feng’s existence that Si Qi, who was fearless, would not take the initiative to run to dangerous places to shoot videos, as he might not be able to come back at any time.

It would be better if an accident like last year never happened again.

On this day, after the annual birthday live broadcast ended, Si Qi, who had already stepped into the 29th mark from the age of 28 and was about to turn 30, was once again urged to get married by his relatives, friends, parents and family members.

“Even if you’re not in a hurry to get married, it’s good to have a relationship first and give it a try.”

The parents were very anxious about their son who was nearly 30 years old and had no love history.

What made them even more anxious was that the “eldest son” was already over 30 years old, but like the younger son, he was an emotional idiot.

It seemed like these two guys were determined to be monks. There was no sign of any ambiguous partner around them. They always secretly ask one of them why their younger brother didn’t have a relationship, and secretly ask the other one if their older brother had someone he liked recently.

The result was that the stupid sons responded with “No? He’s such a blockhead, he doesn’t understand at all!”, which made the two parents so angry that their teeth itched.

“How dare you talk about your brother!”

Si Qi and Chu Feng said innocently that they didn’t understand.

That day, Si Qi sat on the sofa and read quietly. This time he was reading about ancient history and culture.

After a while, Chu Feng came over and called him to eat. Si Qi ran over happily, flattering him while eating: “Hey, my eldest brother’s cooking skills are getting better and better. It seems that I will have to rely on you to cook in the future. I won’t show off my little tricks anymore.”

Coincidentally, every time he arrived in a world, Si Qi would have a friend who was particularly good at cooking. Therefore, it was not his turn to cook in every world. As time went by, he even learned how to fly a spaceship, but he did not learn how to cook.

Chu Feng looked at Si Qi with a half-smile: “Didn’t you say that you can learn it once you learn it and understand it once you see it?”

Si Qi said with a bashful face: “In front of your absolute strength, what is my little talent?”

Chu Feng laughed and scolded: “If you want to be lazy, just say so.”

“Hehe~”

Si Qi finished his meal quickly and didn’t want to wash the dishes, so he left with a righteous look on his face.

He kept saying to Xiu Xiu: [Do you still have that box of pudding-flavored milkshake?]

Almighty Butler Xiu Xiu: [Yes, it is stuffed in a corner, and there is only one box left]

While Chu Feng was cleaning up the dishes and going to the kitchen, Si Qi sneaked towards the refrigerator.

“No.” Chu Feng seemed to have eyes on his back, and his voice came from the kitchen, “Eating ice cream after dinner when it’s hot, don’t you think it will hurt your stomach?”

“…………”

Si Qi laughed: “What? I was just passing by~~~”

Then he curled his lips and left in disappointment.

After a long while, Chu Feng washed the dishes, tidied the kitchen, came over and told Si Qi that he was going to work.

Si Qi waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Chu Feng rubbed the top of his head.

Then, something cool was placed on his cheek.

Si Qi was surprised, took it and put it in front of him.

It was a pudding-flavored milkshake.

Chu Feng said, “Wait until the ice outside melts a little before eating.”

Perhaps the milkshake had been left in the corner for too long and had frozen, with a layer of crushed ice torn from the refrigerator forming around it.

Si Qi smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he readily agreed, “Okay~~”

He put the milkshake on the coffee table, happily sent Chu Feng out to work, and then came back and disobediently tore open the lid of the milkshake, holding the spoon and eating it happily one spoonful at a time.

The milkshake has the same texture as pudding, but it is more suitable for summer than pudding. It is simply invincible.

Xiu Xiu: […………]

Xiu Xiu silently asked him: [Aren’t you surprised? ]

There were so many popsicles and ice creams in the refrigerator freezer, but Chu Xun just found the pudding milkshake that was squeezed in the corner and took a long time to find out, and he even managed to pull it out.

Si Qi said “Hmm?” and said as a matter of course: “Whatever I want, doesn’t Brother Feng always send it to me first? Maybe this is what it means to be in tune with each other! It will be like this after being together for a long time~~”

Si Qi smiled with some pride: “No matter which world I was in before, the people who were close to me were all like this~~”

Or rather, it seemed as if he had been spoiled like this since he was born, and he had no idea how special it was to be spoiled.

Xiu Xiu fell silent: […………]

Although this was just an unfounded intuition, why did he feel as if Chu Feng had overheard the conversation between him and his master?

He wanted to tell Si Qi, but was afraid that even these words might be heard by Chu Feng. He hesitated for a long time and finally chose to remain silent.

–

In a dark world as majestic and vast as the universe, a never-ending tower stood quietly in the middle, mysterious and unpredictable.

The tower was made of an unknown material, but mysterious and complex patterns were engraved on every corner of the tower. Each pattern represented a small world.

Si Qi returned to the World Tower, where the Lord God lived, with the huge world power bestowed by the small world.

A pattern appeared on the tall tower behind him, and a striking azure light flashed on the pattern, which meant that Si Qi had completed his mission and paid a large amount of world power to the Lord God on behalf of the small world.

The relationship between the small world and the Lord god was also very simple. Whenever a small world reached a subordinate relationship with the Lord god, the employees in the tower would regularly go to each small world to help it obtain more world power. The medium through which they go was the Son of the World who condensed the power of many worlds.

Whenever the Son of the World obtained the golden finger and helped the small world to gain more world power, the small world would give back part of the world power to the Lord god, forming a very good virtuous circle between the two sides.

And in the place that Si Qi could see with his naked eyes at this moment, countless azure lights that flashed like meteors appeared and disappeared from time to time. These streams of light also represented the world power fed back from each small world.

It was conceivable how vast the world’s power the Lord God could obtain at every moment, and how terrifying power he possessed.

That was an existence that was destined to be looked up to.

After Si Qi returned to the World Tower, the speed of time and space in the World Tower was completely different from that in the small world. It could not be described as fast or slow, but existed in the past and the future at the same time.

Therefore, as soon as Si Qi entered the Tower of the World, he felt the feedback of world power for the next thousands or even tens of thousands of years from the small world he had just left. The overall amount was unexpectedly huge.

Sure enough, the impact of spiritual thought and technological progress on the entire world was more profound than the simple threat of military force.

Si Qi felt that he might have been the number one devil in several worlds, but none of them combined could earn as much as he did in the world he just mentioned.

After taking out the world power that should be handed over to the Lord God, the remaining vast world power all belonged to Si Qi. Si Qi casually absorbed this power into his body and glanced at the top of the tower out of habit. The big tree where he had lived for tens of thousands of years was no longer there, so he could not see the touch of green in the darkness.

That touch of green was his home. When he resigned, Si Qi also took away the house he had built on the top of the World Tower.

…Maybe this is called moving with the whole family.

Flying all the way back to his own staff dormitory, Si Qi saw his good friend 007 on the next planet (each employee here was assigned a planet as a room), the guy who claimed that he could make people in countless worlds tremble when they saw him.

However, this guy named 007 behaved in a completely different way from his scary name, and even seemed a little frivolous. He said to Si Qi cheerfully, “Hey, 047, you’re here to slack off too?”

Si Qi was speechless: “I am not you.”

007 chuckled: “Why are you so hardworking? Doesn’t it make me look lazy?”

Si Qi glanced at him and asked, “What on earth are you doing here?”

007 said indifferently: “Oh, the son of the world in my world is dying, so I came to the bureau to apply for a more powerful golden finger?”

Si Qi: “…From your tone, I can tell you’re not in a hurry at all.”

007 smiled and said, “There’s nothing I can do. If it was a normal cheat, I could just apply to the system and it would be delivered to me directly. The problem is that the Son of the World this time is too useless. I must use a D-level or higher item. Oh, I have to make a special trip back here. Really…”

Most of the golden fingers in the quick-travel bureau come from the Lord god, or in other words, from the various small worlds under the name of the Lord god.

Something that was insignificant in this world may be an extremely valuable treasure in that world. Even if both parties were at level E, the effects were completely different.

When the quick travelers gave out golden fingers, they would basically try to choose golden fingers of lower levels. In this way, the small world would have a low degree of rejection of this golden finger, and there would not be much risk for the Son of the World to use it.

Otherwise, if, for example, in the world he just went through, in order to help Chen Yi become the boss behind the scenes in both the black and white worlds, Si Qi directly sent him a D-class star-level destruction bomb from the interstellar world, wouldn’t that be funny…

Generally, when using this level of cheat, the quick-travel bureau would confirm the situation with the staff. If it was judged that the situation was really necessary, it would be approved to let the staff go to get it, otherwise it would be rejected directly.

He didn’t know what kind of trouble the Son of the World in 007’s world encountered that required him to use a golden finger that was more powerful than a stellar destroyer bomb.

Si Qi looked at the black token hanging on 007’s waist and asked him, “Why don’t you just take the token and go through? Why are you still hanging around here?”

There were almost 20,000 worlds where the Lord God stored the golden fingers. Of course, it was impossible to let the employees open the portal and take a spaceship to that world, that universe, that galaxy, and go to the warehouse on the planet to take the treasure. It was a waste of time.

Not to mention that sometimes, a single planet could hold many low-level treasures, such as the previously mentioned annihilation bomb.

And there were countless planets in a small world, so the number of D-level treasures was as numerous as a stream of carp crossing a river. They were insignificant in the treasure house of the Lord God and were not worth mentioning. It takes a lot of effort to find them.

Therefore, the bureau would directly equip each treasure with a corresponding token. After arriving at the small world, the treasure would be delivered directly to the employees by using the token, which was very convenient.

Of course, some particularly powerful treasures were not included in this list.

For example, some treasures might require several worlds to be put together to barely contain them, or even require the Lord God to seal them personally to ensure that the treasures would not suddenly explode and blow up several nearby worlds.

Therefore, the higher the level of the treasure, the stricter the review would be when the bureau approved the application. They were too afraid that the quick travelers would abuse the golden fingers to do bad things.

Therefore, everyone was very sensitive to employees using the cheats  privately. Who knew if there would be a quick-traveler who was not clear-headed and used the treasure to destroy the small world.

If a quick traveler dared to use the golden finger on himself without permission, he would be severely punished once discovered.

This was the reason why Xiu Xiu tried so hard to stop Si Qi from using the golden finger to save people.

He would rather Si Qi leave that world decades earlier than violate the rules and be wanted by the quick travel bureau.

That would definitely attract thousands of employees to hunt them down.

Si Qi learned a lesson from that incident, so he came here specifically after the end of the last world.

Since he couldn’t use the golden fingers in the Lord God’s treasure house, he would make golden fingers for himself.

After bidding farewell to 007, who was dreaming of lazing around in his dorm for a few hundred years before going back to work, Si Qi returned to his home, which was more like a giant potted plant than a planet.

On such a large planet, there was only enough space to plant a huge world tree.

This world-class little tree was Si Qi’s home, and it was also where he had lived since he was a child.

Si Qi picked a few leaves from the tree and placed them in his palm. He then concentrated the world power in his body into them, trying to change the properties of the leaves.

He thought it would be a very strenuous task, but the compatibility between the two parties was unexpectedly good. Just like salt dissolving into water, Si Qi soon created his own “leaf token” based on the properties of the token.

With a thought, the leaf token entered his consciousness. From then on, no matter what world Si Qi went to, he could seal the things of that world into the leaves and “smuggle” them into other worlds for use.

Because this was a method that only the Lord God could use, Si Qi thought that he would try many times but might not succeed.

He succeeded in one try.

How could it be so simple?

Si Qi touched his head in confusion, thinking about it over and over again but couldn’t figure out the reason.

He couldn’t ask others about this violation of the rules, so Si Qi could only attribute it to his own natural talent, which was why he was able to do it.

Previously in the small world, Si Qi used the power of the world to experiment on a book. Because the material of the book was incompatible with the power of the world, Si Qi tried for a long time before he succeeded. The old man Chu Feng who was passing by took the book out of curiosity and read it for a long time. After returning the book to Si Qi, he smiled and said to him: “You can even do this, it’s really good.”

Si Qi smiled mysteriously at the time, realizing that Chu Feng was talking about how profound the contents of the book were. He thought that Chu Feng would never guess that he had transformed this book into the origin of the world.

If other employees heard this, they would definitely be shocked.

Si Qi transformed back into dragon form and flew back to the World Tree, which was larger than an entire asteroid. He curled up in its nest to rest.

In the little nest that was as comfortable and soft as a cloud, one could see many precious treasures that were inconsistent with his identity as a quick-traveler.

The Lord God loved his pet. He knew that Si Qi liked those expensive and shiny things, so he specially collected them from billions of worlds and gave them to him as toys.

He could still faintly smell some of the Lord God’s scent from the toy, and Si Qi slept soundly that night.
