The final verdict was exactly as Zhang Yutao and Xu Lie had anticipated. Even though Xu Lie presented a technology capable of overcoming the population crisis, he was still sentenced to ten years.
Before he could even step inside, the very next day he was secretly transferred to a laboratory. Xu Lie was completely in the dark; the Test Tube Technology was all managed by others. He could only feign a despondent demeanor, avoiding any meaningful interaction to prevent the professors from seeing through his true capabilities.
During this time, cameras attempted to focus on him, but they were temporarily redirected due to Xu Lie's actor privileges, leading to an uneventful twelfth episode. From the content of the Danmaku, it seemed that Gene Matching was gradually being phased out, allowing Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling to finally pursue their romance openly without any need for secrecy.
Lu Youyou also received quite a bit of screen time, appearing to study diligently while occasionally venturing out to explore Ancheng's culinary delights, seemingly waiting for someone to return so they could dine together.
In this mundane routine, the world of Not Allowed to Fall in Love Freely gradually transformed from one that prohibited love into a backdrop that permitted it, culminating in a grand finale. Viewers continued to post in the Danmaku, expressing their desire to see Xu Lie; however, having detached from the Script World, he felt dazed and half-asleep.
Suddenly, Xu Lie jolted awake to find himself standing within a sphere of white light. The strange white glow was not blinding; his vision was enveloped in a sea of white with nothing else in sight. Yet beneath him, he felt the familiar sensation of standing on solid ground. He neither fell nor floated, and beside him was the Mini Robot.
The concepts of gravity and support from his nine years of education suddenly took on new meaning; Newton's coffin would likely be lifted off its hinges. Was this white light partly tangible and partly not? Realizing he must have returned to the company, Xu Lie remained calm as he surveyed his surroundings. Could this be a private room for employees to rest?
As this thought crossed his mind, the white light dissipated, revealing what appeared to be a lounge similar to those seen on television dramas. Could it be? Xu Lie whimsically envisioned azure seas and skies, pristine white beaches, and gentle sea breezes—only for them to materialize before him.
However, this vast ocean was not boundless; upon closer inspection, it stretched only a few hundred meters at most. Rather than an ocean, it resembled a large lake. Meanwhile, colorful fish leaped joyfully from the water, splashing droplets that formed mini rainbows.
After some exploration, Xu Lie finally understood the layout of the lounge: it was a three-dimensional space measuring three hundred meters in length, width, and height. All dimensions could be expanded for a price; ordinary scenery could be conjured freely while 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 further musings wouldn’t alter his environment. In this private space, with just a thought, he could access company manuals and earnings from performances.
[Actor: Xu Lie
Difficulty Level: Script "Not Allowed to Fall in Love Freely"
Base Payment: 1,000 points;]
Xu Lie was quite satisfied; indeed, effort brought rewards. This was quite a windfall—almost eight thousand points! Just imagine how many good things he could buy with that.
By the way, after checking the manual, Xu Lie learned that scripts were generally divided into different difficulty tiers. Each tier had a different base payment, with the minimum earnings for a given difficulty set at one thousand points, while the maximum could reach up to a certain amount.
