This Lord is Very Scientific

"Hah... hah... hah..."

Shabi's speed was already maxed out, so he heard someone else's heavy breathing beside him.

He slightly turned his head and saw the person who made him feel strange.

That human seemed completely oblivious to the sign for the iced milkberry by the roadside, focusing solely on pedaling hard without any distraction.

Shabi's heart instantly tightened.

If he stopped now, he might be overtaken by this person who was originally behind him.

Although he could quickly catch up after eating the milkberries.

But is it like this every time, again and again?

This time it's iced milkberry, next time it's iced milk tea, and after that it's iced cola.

They might even set up a live stream Memory Stone playing shows, with rows of sofas, or even a bed and a shower room...

It's too much!

Shabi suddenly recalled one of the training courses from his time as an assassin, which was to eliminate all temptations and focus on the goal itself.

Exactly!

He's not here to exercise his body or to enjoy life by eating free milkberries, but to win and claim the prize!

Understanding this point, he immediately accelerated, returning to his previous speed, and quickly passed the spot offering free milkberries.

Some people also passed like him, but many chose to stay and have a taste before moving on.

So, he surpassed many people at once.

In that instant, he suddenly felt his soul elevated, pedaling with more power.

This kind of spiritual and soulful baptism, he hadn't felt in many years!

Indeed!

Only by giving up this enjoyment through great determination could he truly understand the significance of the finish line.

As he kept riding, temptations indeed grew more numerous.

Previously expensive special milk tea was free here, rare juices and high-proof alcohol were also provided for free, and they even set up a cinema for free movie viewing.

Under the guise: "Rest for a moment, to better continue your journey."

With the previous experience, Shabi's ability to resist those temptations grew stronger and stronger.

This also made him understand the purpose of this competition held by the officials.

It's not simply about who has a higher rank, but about everyone becoming ordinary people.

It's not purely about who has better physical strength; even the so-called waterfalls and falling rocks aren't the most challenging parts of the competition.

The most challenging part comes from temptation!

So many temptations are hindering your path to the highest peak and final goal.

Your enemies and competitors are not other contestants but yourself!

Stay mentally strong and focus on self-growth.

Instead of belittling others, strengthen yourself!

Because while others are focusing on belittling others, their self-growth will stop.

Andrew, the Insomnia Emperor, the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, and a slew of other strong individuals, they dominate the continent because they are strong enough themselves.

After understanding this, Shabi and that person he had been watching continued to ride upwards.

No matter how fast Shabi was, that person always stayed behind him.

And those whom Shabi originally thought would be his competitors, the "delivery knights," all stopped at places with cola, milk tea, fried chicken, and movies.

The "once" formidable enemies were now left behind.

This also made Shabi think of the elementary, middle, and universities in Great Wilderness City.

Perhaps those who in elementary and middle schools focus not on strengthening themselves but on denigrating others, influencing others, and dragging others down, finally discovered how weak they were in university.

Thus Shabi's determination grew stronger.

Charge, charge, charge!

Only for the endpoint, for nothing else!

Only for the goal, abandoning everything!

Through waterfalls, through falling rocks, Shabi's speed remained unchanged.

And his original formidable enemies had changed; from the previous professionals, now they were mostly people he didn't know, and among them were some who looked like high school students.

His competitors changed batch after batch, yet he kept moving forward.

Those who stayed at the milkberry spot, now couldn't even see his shadow.

Out of five thousand people, over three thousand had been left behind.

The psychology of conformity is terrifying.

Some people could have held it together but seeing everyone eating and drinking made them subconsciously feel wasting a little time would be fine.

This is also the importance of the environment, just like those high school students; in schools with a good learning atmosphere, everyone with a score over ninety-five still doesn't feel good enough, so they keep improving and working hard.

In places with a poor learning atmosphere, where even the first place barely scores eighty, once they've achieved first place, they see no reason to strive further.

And so the gap appears.

Shabi felt very fortunate to have held on.

But at the next intersection, Shabi once again witnessed the malice from the competition's organizing committee.

"Help... help!"

One path clearly detoured, while the path the contestants were on led straight to the mountaintop.

The voice calling for help seemed to be a woman's, coming from the detour route.

So, does Great Wilderness City think the road to the summit can't be detoured due to goodwill... Shabi's gaze hardened, and he bit his lip.

Among so many people, surely someone else heard that voice?

Even if he didn't go to help, others would.

Shabi's initially slowing speed picked up again.

However, one of the main reasons Shabi retired was he didn't want to engage in meaningless killing anymore.

Because once, he felt too many things from a person's final gaze.

Forget it, human life is more important.

Shabi's gaze softened, and he immediately turned toward the other road.

But the other contestants seemed unable to see him, continuing to move forward. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Couldn't he destroy his long-held beliefs and spirit just for the prize?

He, Shabi, disdained it!

To save people!

As he rode over, Shabi immediately saw a woman with a beautiful face, sitting on the ground, her face filled with panic.

When she saw Shabi, she exclaimed with joy, "Help me! Save me! Where is this? I need to go back to the store! Please, help me!"

Shabi took a look and determined that this woman should be from Great Wilderness City; people from other places didn't have such vitality.

"I don't know how I got here, Lizardman sir, do you know Great Wilderness City? Your bicycle is even produced there... I was just washing dishes in the store, how did I end up here without knowing..."

This woman was unparalleled, looking flustered, with wounds on her feet, seemingly dragged here forcibly.

"The competition committee has gone too far..." Shabi frowned.

Putting citizens in such danger for the sake of the competition?

So he immediately got off his bicycle and went to help the woman up, "Miss, I am..."

"You've passed the test." Before Shabi could finish speaking, the woman smiled and then disappeared.

Shabi opened his eyes again.

An illusion?!
