[Li Qingming: Living for others is your choice, but I tend to live for myself. It's wiser and healthier.]
[Ji Xiaoxiang: Haha... Self and others, heart and world, how can one draw such a clear line?]
[If you think about it, someone like me would probably be too timid to speak up if I went out to work, perform poorly, and soon become targeted by the leaders and ostracized by colleagues. In the end, I'd still have to flee back home and be a parasite. So why not become a Vanguard instead? At least I'd die swiftly!]
[Plus, I remember the college provides insurance. If I use my time wisely and die in the Secret Realm as a student, at least the insurance payout could make my family's life happier!]
[Li Qingming: I don't care what you think, you can only follow me.]
[Ji Xiaoxiang: Yeah! And remember, don't hesitate when the time comes!]
[Li Qingming: Again, please do not doubt my professionalism.]

Night falls in the city center, inside a gym.
