158: Chapter 158 Ending (Not a 1vN Slice)

After a strong dizziness like a vortex, Lu Zhan's consciousness gradually returned to his body, and he slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, his eyes were filled with confusion and melancholy, but this emotion lasted only for a moment before quickly disappearing, replaced by an innate indifference.

It was as indifferent as a calm, ripple-free lake; no matter how prosperous or noisy the world was, it could hardly stir a ripple.

Lu Zhan's gaze scanned his surroundings; what came into view were familiar furnishings and layout—this was his lounge in the Main World.

"host, I have already uploaded the completion status of all Small World tasks for you. Headquarters has also given me a reply. You can now take your retirement form and go find General Manager Yan to process your retirement."

"Mm, I know. If nothing goes wrong, this is truly goodbye this time. 009, I'm leaving."

After saying this, Lu Zhan stood up, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes, took the retirement form, and walked out the door.

Although 009 was just an auxiliary System, watching Lu Zhan leave, it inexplicably felt something it couldn't quite put into words.

Along the way, colleagues he met cast gazes of envy or admiration, but Lu Zhan acted as if he didn't notice, continuing to walk with steady steps.

Arriving at the door of General Manager Yan's office, he knocked gently.

"Please come in."

General Manager Yan's calm voice came from inside.

Lu Zhan pushed the door open and entered. Yan Xi looked up, his gaze filled with a hint of satisfaction as he looked at Lu Zhan, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Lu Zhan, you're here."

Lu Zhan didn't say much, just gave a cold "Mm," and then handed the retirement form in his hand to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi took it, looked it over carefully, and upon confirming there were no issues, solemnly signed his name on it.

But he didn't rush to return the retirement form to Lu Zhan; instead, he slowly stood up and walked over to stand in front of Lu Zhan.

His face carried a trace of apology, his eyes looking at Lu Zhan with complex, indiscernible emotions as he said softly.

"Lu Zhan, now that it's come to this, I have nothing left to hide from you. Actually, this retirement task was of great importance and had an extremely high difficulty coefficient.

The employees who attempted this task before you failed without exception, and these seven Small Worlds collapsed many times because of it. To this day, it has caused an overload on the Main World.

Your charm is recognized throughout the company; few people can resist your gentle treatment.

Therefore, after much deliberation, I decided to let you take on this task and split it into two phases: Gentle Redemption + Devoted Companionship.

As I expected, you completed everything very well, allowing these seven Small Worlds to return to normal operation. For this, the company is very grateful for your contribution."

Lu Zhan's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, a look of annoyance surfacing on his face; even his usual indifference was hard to maintain.

No wonder he always felt this task was off; so that's what it was. What a huge trap.

"So General Manager Yan had long anticipated what I would experience in the Small World, right? Then do you know that after this task, I was fucking turned gay, and my sexual orientation has changed?"

After speaking, he glared fiercely at Yan Xi.

Yan Xi's gaze flickered; he didn't dare to look directly into Lu Zhan's angry eyes.

He smiled slightly awkwardly, raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, and said with some unease.

"Lu Zhan, about that... uh... the company will compensate you, increase your retirement benefits... Also, do you find me pleasing to the eye? I can gift you a high-quality partner for free!"

Hearing this, ripples appeared in Lu Zhan's indifferent eyes, and his brows were filled with shame and anger.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said through gritted teeth.

"The last part is completely unnecessary, General Manager Yan. To be honest, you are not the type I like; there's no chance for us."

As he spoke, he snatched the retirement form from Yan Xi's hand.

"Goodbye, General Manager Yan. No, that's not right—goodbye forever."

After finishing, Lu Zhan turned around and strode out without looking back, leaving only his back to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi's face was full of disappointment, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

He had thought that after the task was completed, Lu Zhan would have changed his sexual orientation, and he would have a chance to win the beauty over, but he didn't expect to be rejected so thoroughly. In the end, it was a case of unrequited love!

After walking out of the company gate, Lu Zhan slowly turned back to look at the building behind him.

A feeling of inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, and his eyes suddenly felt a bit sore. Everything he experienced in the Small Worlds now seemed to have turned into smoke and clouds.

Looking up at the sky, the sunlight was a bit dazzling, but he stubbornly kept his eyes open.

In the days to come, without the constraints of tasks, he had to think carefully about how to live his hard-won retirement life well.

However, the gears of fate seemed not to have stopped turning; some old acquaintances might be quietly arriving from far away.

I only remember it was a sunny afternoon. Lu Zhan was sitting lazily on the sofa by the window, holding a novel and reading it with great interest!

A doorbell rang, breaking the peace.

Lu Zhan didn't think much of it and got up to open the door. The person outside, however, made Lu Zhan feel as if he had seen a ghost. He subconsciously wanted to close the door, but was stopped by the person.

"Sir, it's me, Sicheng. Have you forgotten me? It took me so much effort to find you."

The handsome young man standing at the door looked full of grievances, looking extremely pitiful.

Lu Zhan was shocked and confused; he didn't understand why the Male Protagonist from the Small World would appear in the Main World, or even find him.

However, this was not the end. Not long after, several other people came knocking one after another.

At this very moment, Lin Sicheng, Qi Yuxuan, Bo Yisi, Mu Lin, Mo Yun, Fu Jinghan, and Leng Yan—not one missing—were all squeezed into Lu Zhan's small two-bedroom apartment.

They glared at each other, wishing they could kill the other party.

"Sir, we are legally married; you cannot abandon me."

"Master, are you with these people now? Then what does Nickname count for in Master's heart?"

"lord, Bo Yisi has finally seen you again. I really missed you so much. I know I was wrong, please don't drive me away."

"Lu Zhan, how could you be with so many people? Have you forgotten? You promised me that I was the only Omega for you."

"Senior Brother, now that you have them, will you still want me?"

"A-Zhan, who are they all? Do you despise me, or were those words in the past just lies to me?"

"Young Master, didn't you say I was your only wife?"

At this moment, Lu Zhan had a look of despair.

His head was buzzing with pain. Facing everyone's questioning, he was speechless for a moment.

He only felt that his life was over. Given the madness, paranoia, and terrifying possessiveness of these few people, he even felt he might be dismembered, you know, a piece for each of them!

Thinking of that horrifying scene, the corners of Lu Zhan's mouth twitched, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

However, in the end, their love for Lu Zhan overcame everything and tolerated everything. But some petty squabbles were always inevitable, such as using tricks to vie for favor, tripping each other up, watching the other party get thwarted...

With a group of devious beauties at home, Lu Zhan only felt his waist sore and legs weak, his body gradually weakening; he feared he would live many years less.

As for the appearance of everyone, Lu Zhan asked about it later.

According to them, they all reincarnated into the Main World after death. Perhaps their Souls were too special, as they actually retained their memories from before death.

And Lu Zhan thought of what Yan Xi said; perhaps their arrival had something to do with the seven Small Worlds collapsing several times...

Note: Grand Finale 2 finished. Everyone can also check out my new book, "The Amnesiac Ex is a Yandere," which is already on the shelves.

...

This book has taken three months to complete, and today it officially ends. In the middle, I was "imprisoned" twice, but fortunately, the book friends didn't leave, sending various gifts every day and supporting me silently.

I have said words of thanks too many times. Today, what I want to say is that if it weren't for you beautiful and handsome readers, I might not have persisted until the end.

Every time I felt exhausted and wanted to give up, seeing the comments you left, the requests for updates, and the various gifts you sent, I would tell myself that I must persist and absolutely cannot let down such cute and sincere readers.

I have carefully read every footprint you left for this book. This book was not written by me alone; some of the inspiration came from your suggestions.

Finally, thank you very much to the book friends for your company over these three months. I love you all, sending hearts.
