[I will create a ‘new story’ that never existed before.]
[我将创造一个以前从未存在过的‘新故事’。]
The constellations shut their mouths at my words. It wasn’t just because they were shocked. Rather, they didn’t understand what I was saying.
星座对我的话闭上了嘴。这不仅仅是因为他们感到震惊。相反，他们听不懂我在说什么。
The first one to speak was a constellation drinking beside Thor. [What do you mean by a new story?]
第一个发言的是一个在雷神身边喝酒的星座。[你说的新故事是什么意思?]
According to Ways of Survival, the Dokkaebi King left these words a long time ago:
根据《生存之道》，多卡比国王很久以前就留下了这样的话:
「 There are no new stories in the Star Stream. All stories are just based on old stories. 」
「星河不再有新故事，所有故事都是老故事改编而成」
This old saying was the humility of the dokkaebis and was a phrase that needed to be overcome.
这句古老的谚语是“多卡比斯的谦卑”，是一个需要被克服的短语。
I hesitated to answer and a hot-tempered constellation came out first.
我犹豫着回答，一个火爆的星座首先出现了。
[Is there a sword master in the story?]
[故事里有剑师吗?]
Sword master… I nodded at the unexpected question.
剑师......我对这个意想不到的问题点了点头。
[There is.]
有的
Some constellations sighed at my response while others had shining eyes. Then another constellation asked. [Is there a great magician?]
一些星座对我的回答叹了口气，其他的星座则闪着光芒。然后另一个星座问道:“有伟大的魔术师吗?”
[Maybe one will appear.]
也许会出现一个
[A reincarnator?]
(转世?)
[Yes.]
是的
[An SSS-grade hunter? For reference, I like friends who are rewarded for a reasonable effort.] [It is a possibility. I don’t dislike this who try hard.]
一个sss级的猎人？作为参考，我喜欢那些付出合理努力就能得到回报的朋友这是一种可能性。我不讨厌那些努力尝试的人
[A returnee will naturally come out?]
[一个回归者自然会出来?]
The various questions continued for a while, as if it was fun. In the process, there were those who smiled and those who shook their heads. No matter their expression, they were all imagining a story.
各种各样的问题持续了一会儿，好像很有趣似的。在这个过程中，有人微笑，有人摇头。不管他们的表情如何，他们都在想象着一个故事。
It was a story that hadn’t been created yet. However, it was a story that might exist. Was it because it had been a long time since the Gourmet Association jumped into such ‘imagination?’ For a while, there was a gentle atmosphere in the hall that didn’t fit the Gourmet Association.
这是一个尚未被创造出来的故事。然而，这是一个可能存在的故事。是因为美食家协会已经很久没有进入这样的“想象力”了吗有一段时间，大厅里有一种温和的气氛，不适合美食家协会。
However, the atmosphere didn’t stay like this.
然而，大气层并没有保持这样。
[I don’t understand. Aren’t there many of these stories already?]
(我不明白。这样的故事不是已经有很多了吗?)
The one who poured cold water on it was the Morning Star Goddess.
在上面浇冷水的是晨星女神。
[Sword masters, great magicians reincarnators, returnees… what is new about this story? I don’t know how such a product can be considered as ‘new’.]
剑术大师，伟大的魔术师转世，回归者...这个故事有什么新鲜的？我不知道这样的产品怎么能被认为是“新的”
I thought for a moment before replying, [It isn’t just new materials that make up a new story. Aren’t the first generation stories that the Gourmet Association likes also made up of ordinary materials?] [Are you comparing the first generation of art with your story?] [I don’t mean to compare it. In the first place, I’m not trying to make art.]
在回答之前，我想了一会儿，不仅仅是新的材料构成了一个新的故事。美食家协会喜欢的第一代故事不也是由普通材料构成的吗?][你是在拿第一代艺术和你的故事作比较吗?]我不是要拿它们来比较。首先，我并不是想创造艺术
Some constellations looked disappointed at my words. The Morning Star goddess laughed like it was ridiculous.
一些星座对我的话感到失望，晨星女神笑得好可笑。
[You are speaking vulgar words. Yes, good. Then what is new about your story?]
(你在说粗俗的话。是的，很好。那么你的故事有什么新鲜之处呢?)
The atmosphere of the constellations was changing again. As expected, I couldn’t throw a few things around casually. I faced them and declared in my true voice, [In the story I’m creating, there will be an end to all scenarios.]
星座的大气层又在变化了。不出所料，我不能随便乱扔东西。我面对着他们，用我真实的声音宣布，[在我正在创作的故事中，所有的情节都将有个结局。]
The end of all the scenarios. The atmosphere instantly froze.
所有的场景都结束了，大气立刻凝固了。
[H-How dare you…]
你怎么敢.....
Some people muttered while other constellations became pale. There was a backlash that didn’t occur even when I mentioned the first generation. Perhaps it was because I broke their taboo.
一些人喃喃自语，而其他星座则变得苍白。甚至当我提到第一代的时候，也没有出现过这样的强烈反应。也许是因为我打破了他们的禁忌。
I felt the gazes pouring towards me and closed my eyes. This wouldn’t dramatically change the situation. However, my story would remain deep in the mind of the constellations. It was enough for now.
我感到那些目光如潮水般涌向我，闭上了眼睛。这不会大大改变现状。然而，我的故事将深深地留在星座的脑海里。现在已经足够了。
[…Crazy bastard.]
疯狂的混蛋
By the way, it seemed that the impression I gave them was too deep. The voice filled with hostility continued.
顺便说一句，我给他们的印象似乎太深刻了，充满敌意的声音还在继续。
[I knew that there were all types of crazy people in the Gourmet Association but this time it is quite good. Are you in your right mind to say such words?]
我知道美食家协会里有各种各样的疯子，但是这次相当不错。你说这样的话是不是脑子有问题
It was a green doll with a dragon’s head. It was the Brash Swamp Predator. A constellation who was active in the previous scenario. His smile was full of ridicule as he continued, [Then what do you want us to help you with? Let’s go together to the end of the scenario, is that what you want to say?] [That’s right. I came here to find constellations who will reach the end of the scenario with me.]
那是一个带着龙头的绿色娃娃。它是傲慢的沼泽食肉动物。在前一场景中活跃的星座。他的笑容充满了嘲笑，他继续说，[那么你想让我们帮你做什么呢？让我们一起来看这个场景的结尾，这是你想说的吗?]没错。我来到这里是为了寻找能和我一起到达这个场景的最后的星座。]
My calm declaration caused the countenance of the constellations to change. Some of them had already joined a nebula. Thus, my words would sound like a provocation.
我平静的声音使星座的面容发生了变化。其中一些已经加入了星云。因此，我的话听起来像是一种挑衅。
[Nebula? What is the name of the nebula?]
星云?星云的名字是什么
[There is no name yet. I haven’t formally established it.]
(还没有正式命名，我还没有正式建立它。)
[Hmm… how many founding members are there?]
[嗯...有多少创始成员?]
[Two.]
[两个]
The scorn of the constellations increased. I felt a bit upset but I put up with it
星座的嘲笑声越来越大，我感到有点不安，但还是忍了下来
In any case, this was considered ‘courtesy’ in the Gourmet Association. I didn’t think any of them would just accept it.
无论如何，这在美食家协会被认为是“礼貌”。我没想到他们会接受这个事实。
The Morning Star Goddess asked, [One is you and the other person? Is it a constellation?]
晨星女神问:[一个是你，另一个是你?是星座吗?]
[It isn’t a constellation…]
[它不是一个星座......]
I hesitated to reveal Yoo Jonghyuk. The Brash Swamp Predator wondered, [Perhaps it is that guy?]
我犹豫着要不要告诉柳永玉。这个傲慢的沼泽食肉动物想知道，(也许就是那个家伙?)
Images were playing from a panel on the screen. It was playing the finals of the martial arts competition in First Murim.
屏幕上的一个面板上正在播放图像。当时正在第一穆里姆进行武术比赛的决赛。
-It is finally the confrontation you are waiting for!
-这终于是你等待的对峙！
The camera focused on a man as the moderator spoke.
主持人讲话时，摄像机聚焦在一个人身上。
-The disciple of the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint, Supreme King Yoo Jonghyuk!
-破天剑圣徒的弟子，至尊国王柳荣玉！
As expected, Yoo Jonghyuk had safely reached the finals. Then the opponent…?
不出所料，柳永玉安全地进入了决赛。然后对手......？
-One of the Murim’s 10 Grand Masters, the Ice Flower Goddess, Zhuge Lingling!
-魔林十大大师之一，冰花女神，诸葛玲玲！
A splendid spotlight shone on Zhuge Lingling, who was dressed in a light t-shirt and jeans.
聚光灯照在诸葛玲玲身上，她穿着一件浅色的t恤和牛仔裤。
The Ice Flower Goddess wasn’t an easy opponent. She was one of the transcendent existences that represented Murim. Originally, Yoo Jonghyuk wouldn’t have been able to compete with her. It depended on how much progress he made in the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship in the meantime…
冰花女神不是一个容易对付的对手。她是代表穆里姆的卓越存在之一。起初，柳永玉无法与她竞争。这取决于他在打破天空剑法的同时取得了多大的进步..。
[Cough…]
[咳嗽...]
My mind became wide awake the moment someone made a sound. I looked around. Then I gradually became angry.
当有人发出声音的时候，我的头脑变得清醒起来。我环顾四周。然后我逐渐变得愤怒。
…Dammit. Someone had uploaded this video. I stared at Anna Croft who was standing in a corner of the stage. However, based on her expression, it didn’t seem to be her. If so, the video…
该死。有人上传了这个视频。我盯着站在舞台角落里的安娜·克罗夫特。然而，从她的表情来看，似乎不是她。如果是这样的话录像..。
[Huhu… a feast of mortals…]
[呼呼......人间的盛宴......]
The Brash Swamp Predator laughed.
傲慢的沼泽食肉动物笑了。
[Gosh, this is really losing steam. An existence that just reached the narrative level and a trivial mortal is discussing the ‘end of the story’?]
天哪，这真的失去了动力。一个刚刚达到叙事水平的存在和一个琐碎的凡人正在讨论“故事的结局”?]
Several constellations laughed like they had been waiting. It was a laugh that denied all the words I had spoken. Maybe I expected it to be like this. It might’ve been wrong to expect anything from the constellations in the first place.
好几个星座都在笑，好像他们一直在等待。这是一个否认我说过的所有话的笑声。也许我预料到会是这样。从一开始就对星座有所期待可能是错误的。
[Hahahat, what is the modifier of this constellation? Was it Demon King of Bragging?] [Queen of the Underworld! You brought a very delightful friend!]
哈哈，这个星座的修饰语是什么？是吹牛大王吗?]地下世界的女王！你带来了一个非常可爱的朋友
On the screen, Yoo Jonghyuk was confronting the Ice Flower Goddess. The Brash Swamp Predator chuckled like he thought it was cute.
在屏幕上，柳钟玉正面对着冰花女神。傲慢的沼泽捕食者咯咯地笑着，好像他认为它很可爱似的。
[This scenario seems tough for him, let alone the end of the scenarios.]
(这种情况对他来说似乎很难，更不用说这种情况的结局了。)
I quietly clenched my fists. I knew the path Yoo Jonghyuk would walk and the achievement he would make in the future. I knew very well that the hard-working guy would one day kill every member of this damn Gourmet Association.
我轻轻地握紧了拳头。我知道柳永玉将走的道路，以及他在未来将取得的成就。我非常清楚，这个勤奋的家伙有一天会杀死这个该死的美食家协会的所有成员。
Yet in the eyes of the constellations present here, the current Yoo Jonghyuk was just a trivial mortal.
然而，在这里的星座眼中，现在的柳钟玉只是一个微不足道的凡人。
[This worked out well. I am bored because the scenario is over. Do you want to make a bet? Who will win between the two bugs?]
这样做效果很好。我很无聊，因为剧情已经结束了。你想打个赌吗？这两个漏洞之间谁会赢?]
[Oh, good, good!]
哦，好，好
A number of constellations agreed with the proposal of the Brash Swamp Predator. Then a system message appeared.
许多星座都同意了“傲慢的沼泽捕食者”的提议，然后出现了一条系统信息。
[A new sub-scenario has arrived!]
(一个新的子场景已经到来!)
[The sub scenario ― Gourmet Association Betting has begun.]
[子方案-美食家协会博彩已经开始。]
Numerous selection windows emerged in front of the constellations.
众多的选择窗口出现在星座的前面。
[I’ll bet 50,000 coins on that female.]
我赌50,000个硬币在那个女人身上
The moment the Brash Swamp Predator cried out, the other constellations laughed and bet a few coins. Then the Brash Swamp Predator glanced at me.
当傲慢的沼泽掠夺者号叫起来的时候，其他星座都笑了，并且赌了几个硬币。然后那个傲慢的沼泽掠食者瞥了我一眼。
[Newcomer. You should also bet.]
[新来者，你也应该下注]
[I already did it.]
我已经做了
[Who did you bet on?]
(你赌谁赢?)
[100,000 coins to Yoo Jonghyuk.]
[100,000硬币给柳钟玉]
The fact that I bet twice as much as him caused the Brash Swamp Predator’s eyes to widen.
事实上，我下的赌注是他的两倍，这使得这个傲慢的沼泽捕食者睁大了眼睛。
[Cheeky fellow. You will regret it.]
[厚颜无耻的家伙，你会后悔的。]
He seemed to know how this bet would turn out. In the distance, Anna Croft was watching me with serene eyes. Yoo Jonghyuk’s struggle was entering the mid-stages on the screen.
他似乎知道这个赌注会有什么结果。远处，安娜·克罗夫特安详地看着我。柳钟玉的奋斗在银幕上进入了中期阶段。
[Hoh, he is fairly decent? Should I make him my incarnation?]
[Hoh，他相当正派?我应该让他成为我的化身吗?]
Yoo Jonghyuk seemed to be pushed at first but his momentum was slowly becoming stronger. Some of the constellations admired the unexpected flow of events. Then they shut up as soon as the Brash Swamp Predator glared at them.
柳永玉起初似乎被推了下去，但他的势头正在慢慢变强。有些星座羡慕突如其来的事件。然后，当傲慢的沼泽捕食者瞪着他们的时候，他们立刻闭上了嘴。
As expected from Yoo Jonghyuk. His encounter with the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint was much earlier than planned and his Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship had reached higher than the original level.
不出所料。他遇到破天剑圣的时间比原计划要早得多，破天剑术也比原来的水平要高。
Inside the stadium, the Breaking the Sky energy exploded and the Ice Flower Goddess coughed up blood as she rolled through the dust. The situation had completely tilted to one side. The story flowed to an unexpected place and the expression of the Brash Swamp Predator changed.
在体育场内，打破天空的能量爆炸了，冰花女神咳出了血，因为她通过了灰尘。局势完全倾向一边。故事流向了一个意想不到的地方，傲慢的沼泽食肉动物的表情也改变了。
[…Hmm, it isn’t fun like this.]
[...嗯，这样可不好玩。]
The moment I had an ominous feeling, sparks appeared around several members of the Gourmet Association, including the Brash Swamp Predator. I quickly realized what they were doing. Their sparks spread to the screen showing the martial arts competition. To be exact, it was to the Ice Flower Goddess.
当我有一种不祥的预感时，美食家协会的几个成员周围出现了火花，包括傲慢的沼泽捕食者。我很快意识到他们在做什么。他们的火花蔓延到屏幕上，呈现了武术比赛的画面。确切地说，是为了冰花女神。
-Aaaaack!
-啊-啊！
The Ice Flower Goddess screamed and this was followed by the host’s words.
冰花女神尖叫起来，接着主人说道。
-W-What is this?
这是什么？
Yoo Jonghyuk also seemed surprised. Yoo Jonghyuk’s expression stiffened as the Ice Flower Goddess mutated into a monster. I stared at the Brash Swamp Predator and spoke in a cold voice, [Didn’t you say this was a bet?]
柳永玉似乎也很惊讶。柳钟玉的表情僵硬了，因为冰花女神变成了一个怪物。我盯着这架傲慢的沼泽捕食者战机，用冷酷的声音说道，[你不是说这是个赌注吗?]
The Brash Swamp Predator laughed.
傲慢的沼泽食肉动物笑了。
[I didn’t say there could be no interference.]
我没说不能有干扰
Thanks to the probability supplied by many constellations, the body of the Ice Flower Goddess was covered in green scales.
由于许多星座提供的可能性，冰花女神的身体被绿色的鳞片所覆盖。
Both Yoo Jonghyuk and I knew what it meant. It was a constellation’s ‘advent.’ It was the same in Peace Land and Dark Castle. At the time, Yoo Jonghyuk and I fought together but not anymore.
柳永玉和我都知道这意味着什么。这是一个星座的“出现”在《和平之地》和《黑暗城堡》中也是一样。当时，柳荣玉和我并肩作战，但现在不再是了。
[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint has been activated!] [You can’t connect with the current target.] …Damn jerk, what was he doing at a time like this? It was impossible to use Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint because Yoo Jonghyuk wasn’t thinking about me at all.
[独家技能，全知读者的视角已经被激活!][你不能连接到当前的目标。]...该死的混蛋，他这个时候在干什么？不可能使用无所不知的读者视角，因为柳永玉根本没有想到我。
On the screen, the Ice Flower Goddess who was half a green dragon roared.
银幕上，半身为绿龙的冰花女神怒吼着。
The Brash Swamp Predator. The ancient being who was born on the planet ‘Selegedon’ was a constellation who just reached the narrative-grade like me. However, the number of stories he accumulated was far beyond me so our abilities were on a different level.
傲慢的沼泽食肉动物。出生在“塞勒格登”星球上的远古生物是一个刚刚达到叙事级别的星座，就像我一样。然而，他积累的故事数量远远超出了我的能力范围，所以我们的能力处于不同的水平。
With one breath, the monster half-destroyed the venue of the martial arts competition. Maybe he signed a Sponsor Contract with the Ice Flower Goddess for a short period of time. The low rate of synchronization meant not a lot of his strength was expressed. Still, it would be nothing to end the competition since it was strengthened with such a degree of probability.
一口气，怪物半毁了武术比赛的场地。也许他和冰花女神签了一段时间的赞助合同。同步率低意味着他没有表现出很大的力量。尽管如此，这对于结束这场竞争还是没有什么意义，因为它已经被这样一定程度的可能性所加强。
It would be hard to deal with a narrative-grade constellation who had accumulated such stories, even if it was Yoo Jonghyuk.
即使是俞钟玉(YooJonghyuk，音译)，也很难对付一个积累了这类故事的叙事级别的人物。
[You look uneasy. Don’t you believe in your colleague?]
