The final judgment was exactly as Zhang Yutao and Xu Lie had anticipated; even with Xu Lie presenting technology capable of overcoming the Population Crisis, he was still sentenced to fifty years.
Before he could even enter, on the very first day, he was transferred by Mi Dun to a certain laboratory. Xu Lie understood nothing; all the Test Tube Technology had been purchased from the company. He could only feign a state of despondency, avoiding meaningful exchanges to prevent the professors from seeing through his facade.
During this time, the cameras attempted to focus on him, but Xu Lie used his privileges as an actor to temporarily redirect them, leading to an unremarkable tenth episode. Judging from the content of the Danmaku, it seemed that the match restrictions were gradually lifted, allowing Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling to finally pursue their romance openly without needing to hide.
Lu Youyou also received quite a bit of screen time, appearing to study diligently and occasionally going out in search of delicious food shops in Ancheng, seemingly waiting for someone to return so they could dine together.
In this ordinary daily life, the world of Not Allowed to Fall in Love Freely gradually transformed into one that permitted romance, culminating in a grand finale. The audience continued to send Danmaku messages expressing their desire to see Xu Lie, while he himself had already detached from the Script World, feeling dazed and half-awake.
Suddenly, Xu Lie became aware of his surroundings and found himself standing within a sphere of light. The strange illumination was not blinding; his vision was filled with a vast expanse, devoid of anything else. Yet beneath his feet was the familiar sensation of standing on solid ground. He neither fell nor floated, and beside him was that Mini Robot.
The concepts of gravity and support from nine years of education suddenly took on new meaning; Newton's coffin lid might as well have been blown off. Were parts of this light tangible while others were not? Realizing he must have arrived at the company, Xu Lie remained calm as he surveyed his surroundings. Was this perhaps a private room for employees to rest?
As this thought crossed his mind, the light dissipated, revealing a lounge that resembled those seen in television dramas. Could it be? Xu Lie whimsically imagined Azure Sea and Blue Sky, Snowy Beach, and a gentle sea breeze, which materialized before him.
However, the vast ocean was not boundless; upon closer inspection, it measured only a few hundred meters across. Rather than an ocean, it resembled a large lake. At the same time, various vividly colored fish leaped from the water, splashing droplets that created mini rainbows.
After some exploration, Xu Lie finally understood how to use the lounge: it was a three-dimensional space measuring three hundred meters in length, width, and height. All dimensions could be expanded at a cost; ordinary scenery and objects could be freely imagined into existence. More fantastical elements—like dragons or floating islands—required point redemption.
To avoid disrupting the overall beauty with wandering thoughts, Xu Lie chose to lock in the current scenery so that any subsequent musings would not alter his environment. In this private space, with just a thought, he could access the company manual and view his earnings from performances.
[Actor: Xu Lie
Difficulty Level Script: Not Allowed to Fall in Love Freely
Base Payment: 1,000 points]
Xu Lie was satisfied; the effort had paid off. This was quite a bounty, nearly eight thousand points—enough to buy many good things.
By the way, after checking the company manual, Xu Lie learned that scripts were generally divided into five difficulty levels. The basic payment varied with the difficulty, with the minimum earnings for each level starting at one thousand points, while the maximum was yet to be determined.
