He gave up the promise he made with the Main Brain, gave up the "perfect life" that belonged to him, which he had looked forward to for countless days and nights.
That was clearly the best, most ideal, most perfect destiny that Finn had always believed in, yet now, he had to close that door with his own hands, choosing to remain here under the identity of Finn Osborn.
When Peter thought of this, his heart felt as if it were being squeezed, causing him such pain that he could hardly breathe.
I understand! Finn, I understand everything." Peter's tears flowed uncontrollably as if he could feel his pain, his forehead pressed tightly against Finn's, "But I will never let you down, this world won't let you down either.
We are both so young, we have so much, much time ahead of us.
I will love you forever, you will also have the best family and friends in the whole world.
At our best age, we don't need to wait, we don't need to be lost, to be able to achieve so many, many things together.
If fate truly exists.." Peter's voice carried a hint of a sob, yet it was incredibly firm, his gaze fixed on Finn with absolute determination and seriousness, "Finn, I hope you believe that this is the best arrangement.
If the Main Brain truly sent Finn to this world to carry out his final mission as Finn Osborn, then Peter believed this could not be a coincidence. It must be because this world possesses everything Finn truly desires.
I believe so.
Finn's tears gradually stopped.
The young man's eyes were red, but a smile curled up the corners of his lips once again.
“Don't cry." Finn, seemingly unaware that he was the one crying at first, reached out to wipe the tears from Peter's face and said comfortingly, "I will always believe in you."
Finn did not hesitate any longer. He reached out, crossed out the [January] deadline on the contract, changed it to [Forever].
One day, that service-oriented system, accustomed to pleasing and giving, after traveling through countless worlds and saying goodbye to countless hosts—
Will grow up,
Will find the chance to anchor,
Will find a warmth that belongs only to them.
Will learn to feel emotions,
Will learn how to shed tears,
Will learn to love,
And being loved steadfastly by others.
And slowly growing—
Vivid, complete, truly his own,
A soul named "Self."
Chapter 84: Racing°Perseverance
Finn and Peter's romance successfully passed the one-month contract period.
In addition, the only people who knew this contract existed were Andrew and Harry.
Andrew had once been terrified that the love contract would expire, but Harry hadn't cared at all from the very beginning. Harry hadn't even bothered to ask if the contract had been renewed; after all, in his eyes, there was absolutely no sign that Peter and Finn would ever part ways.
But only Peter Parker knew that the real turning point was the moment the expiration date on the contract changed from [January] to [Forever].
—Finn was the one who had truly made up his mind to stay in this world.
This was, of course, a good thing.
Peter also knew clearly what kind of personality his boyfriend had: once Finn made a decision, he would never waver again.
That was close." Finn was still having a conversation with System PP in his mind. "I almost thought my Misery Value was going to be fully accumulated all at once.
System PP looked at the precarious progress bar on the Host's panel, which had already reached 96.09%, also breathed a secret sigh of relief in its heart.
After all, as a rookie system, PP naturally wanted to stay with his first Host for a little longer.
—With only 4% of the Misery Value remaining, the task is almost complete.
Finn worked even harder to pass all of his precious experience regarding systems to System PP. He hoped his system would become increasingly stable on its future path, create even more brilliant achievements than him, ultimately fulfill its own wishes through outstanding performance.
You will definitely do better than me," Finn said to PP with sincerity and trust. "When I called you a trash system before, don't take it to heart. Who wasn't a newbie when they started? You have already far surpassed me, a mere newbie.
Finn once again urged System PP not to bet all its points on the Host and that it must consider its own future as a system. What good were high-level plugins like him, which were filled with protections for the Host? He couldn't even bring them out!!
System PP actually felt as if, during its most expressionless phase, it had encountered the Host it most wanted to protect.
System PP didn't actually take Finn's advice to heart, but he still responded:
[PP knows, but you have already done very well, Host.]
[System PP high-fived you. gif]
Harry handed full control of the "Summerverse" trendy toy brand and the "Frontier Academy" study tour brand over to Finn, then kicked Finn out of the other businesses within the Osborn Group; after all, these two brand-new brands were already enough to keep Finn busy.
Moreover, in Harry Osborn's view, his younger brother still preferred doing creative and interesting things. He didn't want his younger brother to be crushed into another cold, pure-blooded Osborn by the traditional businesses of the Osborn Group; this sunny, eccentric vibe he had right now was just perfect.
But besides those two brands, Finn himself naturally always had all sorts of messy things piling up.
Recently, the first season of the explosive hit "Rat Rise: Human Challenge Battle" finally came to a successful conclusion.
Under Finn's constant anticipation, Andrew, who had dislocated his joint, recovered in time.
And so, the highly anticipated "Hamster Iron Triangle Dance" finally made its grand appearance as promised.
A standard two-on-one combination: two energetic hamsters paired with one slightly clumsy hamster.
As a Hamster Partner, Finn grew more determined with every win and loss. He finally managed to successfully pass the first stage of the third themed competition, but that was all—he was eliminated in the second stage. Andrew also participated three times, all three times he failed dejectedly at the first stage. Despite his constant longing to give up, Andrew was ultimately awarded the "Humanity Never Gives Up Award" by the production team.
Andrew, the "Human Never Give Up" Award Winner: ".." The mockery was palpable.
The award citation was written in a way that was both hilarious and heartbreaking:
You are the well-deserved cannon fodder vanguard of humanity's uprising.
Effort doesn't matter, nor does winning or losing; what matters is that you carry the expectations of all humanity.
【The whole world doesn't think you can make it through, yet you stubbornly refuse to live up to expectations.】
Even if you stop at the first obstacle every single time and collapse at the starting line, the flag you raise is the very spirit of humanity never giving up.
[Next season, don't let the hamsters down! The first level is waiting for you!]
Let Humanity Perish · Andrew: ".." Thanks, I'm never coming back.
And the most eye-catching dark horse of the entire segment was, without a doubt—Peter Parker.
The undisputed three-time champion, he was truly the leader of the Human Resisters, because of this, he reaped the largest prize pool.
Not only that, but after Peter successfully cleared the final track—
He was no longer even pretending.
In front of the cameras broadcasting to all platforms, amidst the roaring cheers of the entire crowd,
When Finn rushed toward him in high spirits, Peter steadily held his Young Master and spun him around.
[Competition Show Ceiling + Romance Ceiling = Pinfinity!]
[Fans around the world sent their congratulations to Pinfinity!]
[That's great! Rat Rise has come to a perfect conclusion! The romance has concluded! How can a competitive show be so fulfilling?]
[Peter is a triple champion + official announcement on the livestream, isn't this what a true winner in life looks like?]
[The ultimate mutual devotion! This is the most beautiful form of youthful romance!]
The Golden Age of the Top Rich Family: Short Dramas Ruined My Brother
Andrew had originally thought that after finishing the segment of Rat Rise, he would feel a bit more relaxed. Unexpectedly, Young Master Finn's intensity ramped up again. In addition to the massive workload from two different brands, Noah wanted Finn to work as a model and walk the runway, Anthony wanted to discuss the second season of Rat Rise with Finn, Sophia was waiting for Finn to film a short drama as the second male lead in Love of Heart-Stealing, right in the middle of this hectic schedule, Finn even contacted the top private racing coach in the industry, saying he wanted to learn how to race.
"I'm going crazy again and again and again.." Andrew: ".." and
—Learning racing??
—Everything is such a chaotic mess, you still have time to learn how to race??
Malton, another secretary who used to handle everything with ease, was now also being driven to his wits' end by Finn.
"You.. go and persuade Young Master Finn to come back." Malton, who was already carrying a heavy burden, was about to go crazy. When Harry acquired his study organization, he never mentioned that working by the idle Young Master Finn's side would involve such a massive workload.
Although Finn handled all affairs and decisions beautifully, everything followed the perfect schedule he had planned for himself, Malton felt that Finn overlooked one thing: he did not possess a top-tier, perpetual motion machine brain like the Osborn brothers.
Malton discovered that if he could just successfully keep Young Master Finn at his desk for a single day, he could finish an entire week's worth of his work.
But the problem was—he couldn't catch Young Master Finn.
Racing at a time like this? Is it the cars they're racing? It's me, Malton, they're racing!
Andrew: ".. Me?" Has his say become this powerful now?
"You even have the ability to direct Young Master Finn to perform the Dog Training Dance, what else could you not achieve?" Malton said.
"Fine." Andrew didn't dare try to persuade him himself, so he called for reinforcements.
After learning that Finn was undergoing racing training at the racing club, Finn's two brothers, Harry and Noah, rushed over in a hurry.
The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of helpless empathy, as if they were domestic children making a mess again out in the world.
"How did Finn suddenly come up with the idea of learning racing?" Harry asked with a deep frown.
"It was during Christmas, when several famous racing teams also came to the beach. Finn chatted with those racers, I suppose that's when he suddenly became interested in racing," Andrew said helplessly. This reason might seem a bit far-fetched to others, but for Finn Osborn, who always acted on a whim, it was quite sufficient.
Andrew often felt that Young Master Finn's combat effectiveness toward life was truly astounding.
It was as if he were a perpetual motion machine, with his brain and body operating at full capacity around the clock, giving him the sensation that he never needed to stop for even a moment to catch his breath.
Moreover, racing is clearly an extreme sport that sends adrenaline soaring.
"Why are you all here?" Wearing a handsome racing suit, Finn was naturally called over by his two brothers.
“Aren't you busy enough with all that stuff you have on your plate? You still have the mind to play with racing cars?” Noah couldn't help but ask anxiously. He wouldn't even let Finn ride a motorcycle, let alone a racing car. "Racing is so dangerous. Have you even considered what would happen if there was a slight accident and you lost a hand or a leg! Have you seen those videos of racing accidents? You only think it's fun and novel right now, but what if something actually happens?"
All the training will be conducted on professional tracks under the guidance of coaches; I'm not an impetuous person," Finn replied. "The danger can be minimized as long as I am cautious and professional enough.
"I will ensure Young Master Finn's safety from all aspects," Max, acting as a bodyguard, also spoke up at the right moment with a look of determination.
"When Finn jumped from the building twice, you weren't there to catch him either, were you?" Harry said coldly.
Max: ".." He slowly and awkwardly lowered his head, his shoulders, which had been so upright just a moment ago, instantly slumping.
