NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6
Chapter 6: What Does Raymond Want to Do?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While the audience had a discussion in the live broadcast room, Raymond came to a library door.
Seeing the situation, the audience was stunned.
“A library? He wasn’t going to a luxurious place, or a military base, or to stock up on food. He actually went to a library?”
“Is he crazy? Would any normal person make such a choice?”
1
“He can’t be thinking of studying, right? What the f*ck… Has he not studied in his entire life or something?”
2
“F *ck! How can he do that?”
Just as Raymond was about to go up the stairs and enter the library, he seemed to notice something and suddenly raised his head.
He saw a passenger plane falling from the sky and landing not too far away from him.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the plane exploded. It felt like the earth shook as the flames rose up.
Raymond could even feel a faint heatwave coming toward him.
His expression changed.
It was likely that the humans had suddenly disappeared. Hence, the flying plane had run out of fuel due to being pilotless, causing it to crash.
Since there was the first plane, there would be a second plane…
And a third plane.
This plane had landed around him. The next plane might land a few thousand miles away from him.
Of course…
It could also hit him.
It was dangerous.
Raymond’s expression changed.
When it came down to it, though, the plane’s landing point was random.
In other words, no matter where he was, he might be hit.
It was better for him to study first.
So, Raymond walked into the library.
“System, how do I learn? Where should I start?”

[Responding to host…
[Since you do not know anything about building a spaceship, I suggest that you learn the basic theory of the maneuvering system first.
[The system will automatically help you activate the Super Learning State. Under the Super Learning State, your brain will be ten times more developed than that of a normal person.]
Raymond’s heart was beating wildly.
Ten times that of a normal person?
That was amazing.
The system’s voice continued to ring out.
[However, the duration of the Super Learning State depends on the host’s mental strength. If it is activated for too long, the host will faint.
[In addition, the system still has the Ultimate Learning State, but that requires even more mental strength. Depending on the host’s situation, the host will choose to activate it.
[Now, activate the Super Learning State to adapt to it.]
On his side, Raymond was communicating with the system.
Meanwhile, in the international live broadcast room…
“Raymond’s target really is the library. Why don’t we guess what he’s about to do?”
Maggie sounded a little confused, as she did not know what Raymond wanted to do.
“I think he’s trying to find some information on survival. After all, with the disappearance of human beings, he needs to survive better in this world. The only thing that can help him is knowledge,” someone commented.
“Yeah, I think so too.”
“With the humans’ sudden disappearance, nature will certainly claim the city again. When that time comes, this place will be a stage for survival in the wild.”
Maggie looked at the bullet screen1 and interacted with the audience in the live broadcast room. “That’s true, but it will take many years for nature to cover the city again.”
“However, there will be less food available, and the process of finding nourishment will be more difficult. This is a very urgent situation.”
“I think in the event of the humans’ disappearance, we should first find food and water. Then, we have to build a shelter to shield against wild beast attacks.”

“The host is right. This contestant has a long-term vision, but it’s useless.”
“What long-term vision? It’s just useless work. As expected of someone from the slums who can never grasp the main point. Even if an opportunity is created for someone like him, he’ll subconsciously give it up.”
“I think he’s just doing things on a whim. After reading for a while, he’ll automatically give up.”
“Actually, I think the program team should give him some guidance or hints to push him.”
“No way, that’s too horrible. Even if he doesn’t have such thoughts, he still has to force himself to do it? Why are your hearts so dark? Do you realize that this contestant’s behavior is not what you expected? Do you feel like you’ve been slapped in the face?”
“Heh, I think it’s because Raymond has performed too well. Some people obviously can’t sit still. Look at the other four contestants.”
Shifting to the other four contestants…
There was Miyoshi Yamada from Japan.
After destroying several cars in a row, he turned to smash a cafe’s glass window before destroying all the glass on the premises.
Then, he panted as he squatted at a junction and looked at his masterpiece with a satisfied smile.
He seemed unpredictable, and the audience felt a little uncomfortable watching him.
It was because his current appearance was so different from his previous one that they could not accept it for a moment.
“This person… This person has performed the least so far in the program. What will he do in the next?”
“B*stard! B*stard! B*stard!”

As for the Japanese audience, they were already extremely angry.
Miyoshi Yamada obviously did not participate in the program for himself but for the country that was behind him, Japan.
This time, Japan had lost face in front of the entire world.
Those who had boasted about Miyoshi Yamada how would perform the best had flushed faces at that moment.
It was as if they had been thrashed a few times.
“Huh? Quick, look, that Korean celebrity’s heading toward the police station. What’s he going to do?”
Following the appearance of this bullet on the screen, the world’s audience turned their eyes to the Korean contestant, Park Hyun-yo.
They saw him carrying an orange cat in his arms as he approached the police station’s main entrance.

“After our oppa1 confirmed that the humans had disappeared, he knew that some ferocious beasts would come because no one was watching over them. The danger level has increased, and Oppa just doesn’t want to face this potential danger, so he should be looking for guns to protect himself!”
“Haha, that’s hilarious! Protect himself? I would like to see if Park Hyun-yo is trying to do that!”
Park Hyun-yo entered the police station, found a gun, and gently stroked it for a while.
Then, he loaded the gun with ammunition and came to the orange cat’s side.
Just when the audience thought that Park Hyun-yo was going to pick the orange cat up again and leave, he pointed the gun’s muzzle at the orange cat’s head.

Then…
He pulled the trigger!
Bang!
A gunshot was heard.
Following the gunshot, the audience’s bodies shook, and the bullet curtain fell silent for a few seconds.
The contrast was too great. It never occurred to anyone that such a well-known celebrity, who had been famous all over South Korea, had been hiding his true colors so well in front of the public.
Now, without warning, he had shot an orange cat in the head.
As they looked at the orange cat, which had lost its head, continue to writhe around, all the audience members felt a chill run down their spines.
“This is the famous celebrity that you’ve been bragging about? This is your oppa who has a nice smile and is super caring?”
“We… Our oppa didn’t want the orange cat to be eaten by other ferocious beasts and suffer the pain of being eaten alive. That’s why he let it die without suffering.”
“F*ck! How can you explain this away? I’m throwing up.”
“In the past, I only heard that there were too many brainless fans in Korea. However, I would never believe something until I see it. Today, I’ve seen it for myself.”

The netizens then engaged in a battle of words in the international live broadcast room.
