Neil was immersed in his own thoughts, thinking about a certain world in the Multiverse that he had just observed, where the wars and conflicts were far more serious than he had anticipated. Just as his mind was filled with complex emotions, trying to digest it all, the door to the Observation deck suddenly opened. 0
 
"Congratulations, Neil, observer, you have successfully passed the official observer test," a robot said in a simulated human-like tone. 0
 
 
Neil stood up thoughtfully and smiled, "Thank you." 0
 
He was led to the main conference room of The Eye of the Philosopher. When the door opened, Macol, Erin, Sophia, and several other observers were all there, applauding for him. 0
 
 
Erin walked over first, smiling as she said to him, "Neil, you have demonstrated excellent observation skills and a high level of professionalism. It is my honor to formally introduce you as an observer of The Eye of the Philosopher." 0
 
Macol also nodded, which for him was equivalent to high praise: "Neil, your performance has exceeded our expectations, and I hope you can continue to maintain it." 0
 
 
Finally, Sophia gently embraced him, saying, "I always knew you would do well, but seeing you complete the mission so excellently makes me very happy." 0
 
Every congratulation and hug made Neil feel warm inside, but at the same time, he also felt a heavy pressure and responsibility. Neil understood that becoming an official observer not only meant he would have more opportunities to observe and learn, but also that he would have to face more complex moral and ethical issues. 0
 
 
Neil smiled and accepted everyone's congratulations, then glanced at Erin. There seemed to be a deeper meaning in her eyes, which made Neil even more certain that his future path would be filled with more unknowns and challenges. 0
 
"Thank you for your congratulations. I will definitely do my best to be a qualified observer," Neil said. 0
 
 
He took a deep breath, and the heaviness in his heart turned into an inner drive. No matter what happens next, no matter how many difficulties and pains he will encounter, Neil is ready. Because he knows that all of this is the original intention of choosing this path and entering The Eye of the Philosopher. 0
 
And so, the new observer Neil officially began his career in The Eye of the Philosopher, filled with hope and anticipation, but also carrying an indescribable sadness and heaviness. He will use his observation and action to seek a deeper, broader, and more complex truth in this Multiverse, and he will also use his wisdom and courage to face all the uncertainties and challenges in the future. 0
 
 
Macol walked to the center of the conference room, cleared his throat, and all eyes focused on him. 0
 
"Here, I would like to formally announce some good news," Macol said, his eyes scanning everyone present. "Due to Neil's successful promotion, we have decided to hold a celebration in the lounge tonight. This is not only an honor for Neil, but also for our big family, The Eye of the Philosopher. I sincerely invite everyone to attend." 0
 
 
Everyone clapped, and Erin smiled at Neil, as if silently encouraging him to enjoy the moment. 0
 
Neil felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden attention and praise, but he still smiled and nodded to indicate that he would participate. 0
 
 
Sophia saw Neil's expression and walked over to him, whispering, "This is what you deserve, Neil. Sometimes, it's necessary to set aside those burdens and celebrate with everyone." 0
 
Neil looked at Sophia, then at Erin and Macol. The inner conflict and heaviness seemed to find some release. Yes, perhaps he should learn to occasionally stop on this stressful and challenging road to enjoy the little joys of life. 0
 
 
"Thank you, Sophia," Neil responded. 0
 
The next few people who were going to attend conscientiously went to the lounge to start helping with the decorations. The lounge was decorated lively, the whole space was filled with colorful lights and cheerful laughter. Macol walked through every corner with a list, checking the details of each decoration. 0
 
 
"The lights are a bit low, raise them up a bit," Macol said to a young observer carrying a toolbox. 0
 
Sophia and another young observer were focused on arranging the food and beverage area. Transparent glass bowls were filled with colorful fruit juices, alongside delicate appetizers and desserts, as well as various appetizing snacks. 0
 
 
Erin stood in front of the control panel, busy operating it, occasionally testing the lights or adjusting the sound effects, ensuring that the atmosphere was both relaxed and elegant. 0
 
Neil happened to walk in with a bundle of colorful balloons. He stopped to observe everyone's busy scene, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart. 0
 
 
"You look very popular," Sophia said with a smile as she walked over. 0
 
"Yeah, but it makes me feel a bit overwhelmed," Neil responded awkwardly. "Where should these balloons be hung?" 0
 
 
"Put it on that arch, it will look very pretty." Erin pointed to a decorated arch that already looked quite beautiful. 0
 
Neil nodded and walked over to start hanging the balloons. Just as he finished this task, Erin walked over. 0
 
 
"You're doing a great job, Neil." 0
 
"Thank you, Erin. But everything is still very new to me." 0
 
 
"New things always bring challenges, but they also bring opportunities for growth," Erin comforted him. 0
 
Macol also walked over and looked around the entire lounge, "Very good, I believe everyone will enjoy tonight." 0
 
 
Finally, all the decorations are done. Sophia clapped her hands and announced loudly, "Everything is ready, let's enjoy this beautiful evening!" 0
 
The lounge now looked like a small palace, filled with dreamy lights and shadows. Colorful balloons hung from elaborately decorated arches, resembling crowns of angels. The long table was filled with delicious food and drinks, each carefully selected and decorated. The soft lighting illuminated every corner, as if each light bulb emitted happiness and joy. Music played a cheerful melody, not too loud, just enough to complement the atmosphere of this beautiful evening. 0
 
 
Neil stood there, looking at everyone's smiling faces and busy figures, and suddenly felt a strange warmth in his heart. Perhaps this is what he has been looking for all along - a place that can help him better understand himself and the world. 0
