How Am I Still Alive?

The old garden has a new splendor, and the original old, decayed floor tiles have been replaced with new white bricks.

Although the masonry is fragile and simple, far from the historical and artistic sense of the past, it is full of simple style and pragmatism that young people love.

The arena, which is like a relic of civilization, is also completely new, with a modern and simple style like the Chaser Stadium.

Even the only high-rise building in the secret realm, the three-story church, has been turned into a modern-style hotel building.

And this scene, perhaps, is the root cause of the big cat's unhappiness.

"...I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Can't blame me?"

"snort."

The big cat didn't talk to him, but his frustration couldn't be concealed.

Even if she knew that this moment would happen sooner or later, when it really came, when the accumulation of hundreds of years became the starting point for others, she still couldn't bear it.

She took a deep breath, and her face became calm again.

"Come on, we may get along for a long time in the future, let me, the manager, introduce you to this secret realm, which belongs to your 'life bank'."

She was too calm, without any reluctance on her face, which made Lu Pingan a little uneasy.

". Have you read it?"

"Oh, maybe in the future, but definitely not now. Right now, I'm just fulfilling my 'responsibility', as the manager of the local secret realm, my respected master."

The intentionally protracted voice was full of undisguised hatred and self-deprecation. At this moment, Lu Pingan relaxed.

Maybe Chrissy will finally see the reality and talk about it one day, but it's definitely not now.

"Originally, my world was a super-large secret realm, a complete world, a super doomsday ark."

Walking on the road, even though she deliberately kept calm, her arms were still shaking.

But as an "attachment" to this world, she must fulfill her duty of service.

"The current Life Bank, because there are only two parts left, the original Mother God Church, the current bank building, the original Colosseum, and the current arena."

The life bank is Lu Ping'an's ability, but it's not just his personal thing.

This secret realm, this small world, is the real life bank!

"Life Bank" is not something newcomers can have, because to achieve that level of "self-defined rules", there must be a "world" as the cornerstone.

From another perspective, only by owning one's own world can one set up rules in the world and spread them to the outside world.

To put it simply, this small world is the body and hardware of the life bank, and Lu Pingan is actually just the owner and user of the bank.

And because Lu Pingan was not able to control this small world at that time (the rank was too low), the bank directly extracted the spirit body of Chris (quasi-god) and turned it into the manager of the small world.

To put it nicely, she is the acting president of the bank. To put it bluntly, she is the management software (AI) with its own operating system.

Before Lu Pingan didn't understand her ability, she fully activated the life bank, and she could also play tricks by jumping left and right.

Now that the entire system is running, as a "management AI", she must obey the orders within the authority of Road Ping An Bank and serve the prosperity and evolution of the Life Bank.

Just like your voice navigation system has self-awareness, it can only be restricted by the rules, generally cursing while honestly guiding you.

In a sense, the Secret Realm Life Bank, Taling Kerdales, and the owner, Lu Pingan, exist in a trinity, and the lack of any one part will cause the whole to collapse.

But if you look at it from another angle, it is also a relationship where one loses and one prospers. The evolution of Ping An and Life Bank has just begun, and this struggle is not over yet.

"This is the lobby of the bank, and it is also the place to conduct business, but if I guess correctly, you will not open this secret realm to the outside world in the short term, so this place is just for decoration."

The small office hall of the building is completely different from the bank office in Lu Pingan's memory.

The overall decoration style is classical and warm. In the center of the hall are sofas and classical furniture from the last century. Melodious jazz music echoes in the hall.

The whole style is similar to a slightly higher-end historical hotel.

There is no counter separated by glass, only a service desk like the front desk of a hotel, and a big wine cabinet.

People keep a certain distance from each other, not too noisy and not too lonely. This kind of environment makes Lu Pingan feel very comfortable.

Of course, there is no one behind the front desk for a short period of time, and there will be no second life in the entire secret realm.

"By the way, isn't it possible to make your own rules in the secret realm? Just like your original "life is exchanged for strength, the winner survives" and "no death" in the forest secret realm, can I make my own rules in this secret realm?"

"First, you can't do it now, and then, the rules were set when the bank was born."

As she said that, Chris had a weird expression on her face, and she glanced out the window.

It was the only building in the area, originally a Colosseum where life was sublimated duel.

"In this secret realm, only transactions are allowed, and force cannot be used (except for the gladiatorial events in the gymnasium)."

Isn't this the complete opposite of Chris-chan's secret realm rules?

Now, even Lu Ping'an's expression was very subtle, he felt that there was something in the dark, how could he target the poor big cat so much!

"...Okay, respectful master, what do you want? Come to show off your victory to the poor loser Kerdales? Well, you've finished reading, there's nothing here, after showing off, please go back .”

Looking at the "manager" full of resentment, Lu Pingan was also a little helpless.

At this time, the two sides are in the same boat and have needs for each other, and he doesn't want to stimulate each other for no reason.

"Would you believe me if I said, I just came to see it?"

Chris looked at him calmly, without saying a word.

".Well, let me tell you the truth. I have used up all the credit points of the Lin Nu Church. The magic seeds and the gardener's suit have just arrived. I am here to plant some land. Can you help me find a field? Best, Help me cultivate it, and take care of it at ordinary times, you are a veteran of the life department, you should know a little bit."

With that said, Lu Pingan picked up the full sack.

In an instant, the atmosphere became solidified.

But this logic is not wrong. Lu Ping'an's planting of magic plants is equal to the promotion of his gardener status, the overall evolution of the life bank, the sharing of benefits by the Trinity, and the management AI should serve it.

Poor Chris, in the end, could only sigh realistically, then raised her head helplessly.

Covering his smooth forehead, closing his eyes, he squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"have!"

Lu Pingan never thought that one day, he could hear such complicated emotions from a single word.

Anger, unwillingness, frustration, and helplessness and acceptance of fate. It's like "Life is too hard, marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog, close your eyes, and treat it as if you were bitten by a dog."
