Chapter 371 New Homeworld and Hardcore Mode_3

...

At the bar, Stone, doubling as a bartender, poured a cup of hot red tea for Lin Wu, "Sir, wouldn't you prefer some ice water?"

"You'd actually say that? Mind your status," Lin Wu retorted, "You old thing disrupting unity."

Stone grumbled, "How am I disrupting unity? I just want to do something I feel like doing at the end of the game. Or do you think I fancy farming? Sitting on a chair for an hour a day like a fool? That's called work, it's what society demands of you. Going to True Hardcore Mode is retirement, my reward to myself."

Stone poured himself a Coke, "You young people fancy yourselves as trendsetters, but you never really break free from society's subtle rules. A little rebellion against the boss and you think you're a new breed of human. You haven't even figured out what self is. The self is an obstinate sentiment that isn't swayed by others, paying for one's own actions."
