Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 65 - The Meaning of Life

Chapter 65: The Meaning of Life

Wei Huo was stunned for a long time as he held the exercise book. When another Ice Elemental eventually floated over, Wei Huo killed it while he was at it. He also got a Year Two, Cla.s.s 122 workbook.

Wei Huo went silent. He started searching his brain but could not find any memory of Year Two.

Which school did I go to? Which cla.s.s was I in? Who was my teacher?

He could not remember anything. His memories were very vague, just like the huge essay book in Wei Huo’s hands.

Wei Huo extended a finger and tried to write his name on the snow. It was only then that he realized that he could not even write his own name properly.

Wei Huo went all out and bought a pen and a workbook from the Item Mall. He found a protruding spot and swept away the snow. He then placed the workbook on it and picked up the pen. At that moment, Wei Huo’s hands started trembling.

Since he could not write, his hands trembled uncontrollably. The name ‘Wei Huo’ that he wrote was similar to the words ‘Wei Huo’ when written on earthworms. It was curved and almost unrecognizable. Even Wei Huo himself could not recognize the name.

It was said that some people’s handwriting was too messy to even recognize at times. It had turned out to be true.

Had this really been his school before the time halt? Wei Huo was not sure, as the textbooks he had collected had all been for the holidays, just like the huge essay book in Wei Huo’s hands. The essay book only contained five essays, and the teacher had only marked the end of the essays.

Just like the English-language essays he had seen before, there was a whole copy.

On top of that, Wei Huo also found some physics papers, biology summer textbooks, and other similar stuff.

Wei Huo tried hard to recall his time in high school. He was confused. Did the teacher give us summer homework back then?

If he did not give the homework back, where would the homework be?

Not every teacher could possibly take it home to collect it. They probably treated it as sc.r.a.p paper and handed it to the person who collected the sc.r.a.p paper. That explained why only Cla.s.s 122’s homework was found nearby.

Wei Huo vaguely remembered that he had not attended a high school. In order for him to get into a better university, his parents had sent him to a very famous school with good college entrance examination results every year. However, Wei Huo could not remember where he had come from.

That school had seemed very strict, but Wei Huo could not remember what had happened there.

It seems that I was working hard on my studies back then. That’s why I do not have any deep memories of my youth. It seems like I was a good student with an upright att.i.tude.

A moment later, Wei Huo found another exercise book. It was an English-language exercise book, but the content could no longer be read clearly. There were only a few bright red words at the end of the book. “This student’s att.i.tude is extremely rude. Please redo everything!”

Wei Huo was confused.

He felt a little guilty. Fortunately, he had not given the book back.

Speaking of that, his English scores back then had been really poor.

Although Wei Huo could not remember his high school life and his grades in other subjects, he still remembered that he had not done well in English.

English was a nightmare. It was too scary!

He seemed to have always ranked last in English back then. However, his teacher used to always curse him for ranking second to last. Had he given up on him? Or had he neglected him?

When he saw those exercise books, Wei Huo’s sealed memories seemed to get awakened again. Although they were awakened now, most of them were unclear.

Most of the time, they were unclear because there was nothing worth reminiscing about in his high school life. However, Wei Huo still remembered that he seemed to have liked someone before, although he could no longer remember their name or looks.

Everything had disappeared over time. Wei Huo might even forget his own name after a few centuries or a few millennia. After all, names were only useful in human society.

If he was the only one alive in the world, he only needed to remember that he was still a human.

Wei Huo continued his journey upward. He collected a lot of homework of Cla.s.s 122 students while killing monsters. However, not all the monsters that he killed would drop their homework.

There were still a lot of monsters along the way. Wei Huo cleared the monsters all the way to the top of the mountain. On one side of the mountain, Wei Huo saw a gigantic creature.

It was a gigantic snowman about 30 meters tall. At that moment, the gigantic snowman was sitting on the edge of a cliff and looking at the clouds in the sky.

Wei Huo read its description on the Information Feed.

The Wild Giant was genderless and Epic.

It was an extremely quiet Epic creature that sat silently at the edge of the cliff and looked at the sky. It was looking at the constantly-changing clouds like a statue.

However, it emitted a realistic Epic-ranked imposing field. The imposing field’s range was about 25 meters, which was twice the size of the three-headed snake’s imposing field, and its imposing aura was stronger than that of the three-headed snake.

Wei Huo’s strength was suppressed by 70% while he was within the imposing field. Even if he activated the Ma.s.sacre Mode, Wei Huo would not be able to suppress the terrifying pressure.

Wei Huo frowned. I can’t let it find me. I have to be careful.

However, at that moment, the Wild Giant suddenly moved. It… It changed position. It had been sitting at the edge of a cliff previously, but it had now decided to lie down.

It was talking to itself while changing position. “What is the meaning of life?”

Wei Huo was confused.

An Epic Boss could think about the meaning of life?

What was the point of living? That was a good question. In Wei Huo’s opinion, the meaning of life was to live a better and more carefree life. He was no longer waiting for the time halt to be over. Wei Huo would not mind even if the time halt lasted for over 10,000 years. He had his own things to do. He wanted to become stronger while traveling, search for skills, increase his lifespan, collect Magical Stones, and study technology. His life would never end.

However, at that moment, a test paper floated in front of the giant. It was a test paper held up by the giant, who was using its imposing aura. After all, the test paper was too small for it to handle.

It was a Chinese paper. The gigantic snowman looked at the paper and mumbled to itself, “Please write an essay with ‘the meaning of life’ as a theme. It has to be more than 800 words. What is the meaning of life?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

So it was thinking about life because of this Chinese paper?

A moment later, the Wild Giant spoke again. “Who exactly is Wei Huo? Why does he have such a deep understanding of life?”

Wei Huo’s mouth dropped open. That test paper… is mine?
