Chapter 238: Another Three Hundred Thousand

After seeing the information about statistician Xu Zimin, Su Wen was almost certain that this must be the leader of the abilities research team, Xu Zimin.

The journey to create martial arts is incredibly tough.

Su Wen had also witnessed the number of Divine Artifacts the Star God possesses during this period.

A dozen or so—that’s just the minimum!

But to develop martial arts, the Star God’s Divine Artifacts have been nearly wiped out!

The sheer volume of calculations and information involved must be staggeringly large and utterly overwhelming.

This is where the role of a statistician becomes crucial.

It also makes perfect sense that Xu Zimin, the statistician, is still within the system.

"Tell your colleague that when the martial arts department at National Defense University opens in September, he should go there to attend classes."

"If he has a bachelor’s degree, he should apply for the master’s program."

"If he has a master’s degree, he should go for a doctorate."

"For a doctorate, he should head to the research institute."

"Regardless, there’s a spot for him in the martial arts department at National Defense University."

"Once he’s there, he can run for class president."

After giving these instructions, Su Wen leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile.

Lately, he had been so swamped that he nearly forgot about this key figure.

Sending Xu Zimin to study in the martial arts department early and letting him dive into the martial arts theories Su Wen gathered from previous sub-timelines might allow Xu Zimin to leverage his statistical expertise in the next sub-timeline.

Of course, Su Wen didn’t have high expectations for Xu Zimin.

After all, his counterpart in the sub-timelines must have also considered Xu Zimin during the development of martial arts.

If Su Wen could think of it, surely his sub-timeline self would have too.

They thought of it, yet Xu Zimin still ended up fading into the background.

Could it be that the situation in the sub-timelines was so favorable that Xu Zimin simply stopped trying?

Just like the Fighting God, does he only rise to the occasion when things get dire?

[After finishing the prologue of the God of Theater’s essays, you moved on to the middle section.]

[The middle section contains some of the God of Theater’s reflections on life.]

[The year 2022 was a year of despair.]

[Because that was the year the God of Wealth revealed the mysteries of Time and Space to me.]

[The true terror of the God of Wealth became apparent to us that year.]

[Like the Star God, I was stunned.]

[Though I had previously speculated about the God of Wealth’s abilities—whether it was purchasing future items with money, communicating with future figures, or even accepting their commissions—]

[None of it went beyond the realm of "wealth."]

[Trading! Trading with people from the future is still trading, after all. Since the birth of money, it has flowed through the entire river of history, even causing many upheavals and historical changes.]

[But crossing time and space and splitting into many sub-timelines, to the point where our timeline has become a sub-timeline dedicated to sacrifice and serving the main Time and Space, is beyond our imagination.]

[I once discussed this issue with the Star God. Although the God of Wealth possesses such miraculous abilities, it signifies that the main Time and Space of China will eventually reach the shores of success.]

[But isn’t this too cruel for us in the sub-timelines?]

[Not to mention the discussions or sacrifices; honestly, I don’t care if we’ve fallen into sub-timelines.]

[What I care about is that the abilities of the God of Wealth in the sub-timelines are far inferior to those of the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space, and that the God of Wealth in the sub-timelines doesn’t even dare to break through to the sixth level.]

[A sixth-level God of Wealth in this grand scheme is of no use except to refine his martial arts theories.]

[If the God of Wealth could break through without limits, at least China would still have a top powerful being at the Emperor Level.]

[The Star God is unwilling to dwell too deeply on this issue. He says that since the moment he knew China would eventually have a beautiful future, he has felt fulfilled and content.]

[As for how many times he has died, how many times he has sacrificed, or how many times he has been struck down?]

[None of it matters!]

[As long as there are countless lights of China shining brightly in the main Time and Space, then whether it is him or the sacrifices of many sub-timelines’ Star Gods, it is all worth it.]

[The Star God is rational, while I am not!]

[I trust myself, trust the present era, and trust the collective China that strives for the future!]

[And I do not believe in the distinction between the main Time and Space and sub-timelines, nor in the idea of sub-timelines being a sacrifice timeline.]

[If one does not strive due to the gap in power, does not fight, and only thinks of escaping, then what is the point of living this life?]

[A hundred years ago, China endured tremendous despair yet persisted, so as a descendant with formidable combat power, what do we have to fear?]

[But really, since there is a past version of me still existing somewhere across the river of time, developing in a different direction, then I need not worry about my actions.]

[Though I said I didn’t want to think about the sub-timelines, I was still influenced by the God of Wealth’s theories of time and space.]

[Humans are indeed contradictory beings!]

[This essay is a few dozen pages long, so you quickly finish reading it.]

[The moment you close the essay, it transforms into a white point and dissipates within the Theater World.]

[Clearly, the God of Theater has been paying attention to you.]

[Even the sentiments expressed in the mid-section of the essay were written for you to see.]

[Letting you, this God of Wealth from the main Time and Space, understand the psychological journey of those in the sub-timelines, knowing that he won’t be waiting in the next timeline. But even without him, there are countless Gods of Theater still present.]

[So when you discuss the theories of time and space, please consider the feelings of the elder.]

[After all, he has protected China for so many years, worked diligently for so many years, and endured humiliation for so many years, only for you to suddenly tell him that this timeline has become an exploration and sacrifice sub-timeline?]

[The young Star God can quickly accept and serve the exploration of the main Time and Space, but this elder, who has walked through blood and fire, still feels that the main Time and Space cannot be relied upon.]

[Just as you ponder this, a sphere of insights radiating mysterious and profound waves appears before you.]

[With the wisdom accumulated from over twenty years in the last sub-timeline, this time the God of Theater’s sphere in the sub-timelines emits a stronger and more expensive aura.]

[Feeling that there is business information coming from your side, the river of time casts its gaze upon you.]

[Then, it begins the familiar process of appraising the God of Theater’s sphere.]

[Oh, glorious God of Wealth! The God of Theater’s sphere, enhanced by the last sub-timeline, radiates the aura of abundant resources from within and without.]

[So please be prepared, as the river of time will soon begin its evaluation.]

[Appraising…]

[Appraisal complete.]

[God of Theater’s sphere: three hundred thousand resources (after discount price).]

Su Wen: “……”

Another three hundred thousand resources?

Is the river of time really fixated on this number of three hundred thousand resources?
